I have always used MAC, Nars, Bobbi Brown, & Makeup Forever concealers... until i found this one. I alternate between shades 10 & 20 and i can honestly say there isn't a single 'compromise' in using a drugstore concealer - if it was not a Maybelline package, you would swear it was Nars or the like.
Coverage is flawless, blendable, non-caking, and has phenomenal staying power.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about this concealer!! I can usually find on sale for $5.99 so it honestly can't be beat!!

I received this as part of the review club. It's not my favourite dry shampoo based on the smell, but in a pinch it does do what you need it to, to refresh your hair in between washes. I didn't find that the dry shampoo weighed my hair down, or created a build up, and was very light and refreshing. Will definitely be keeping this one in my purse for on the go touch ups. -

I received this as part of the review club and LOVE a good exfoliant and scrub and this one is perfect! Not drying, not too abrasive, deep cleaning, my pores and skin looks so much better after using it - more even, smooth, bright, without causing any drying. Will definitely be re-buying! -

I received this as part of the review club and started using it immediately. with the summer heat, i've had some breakouts and since i have started using this i haven't had a single one, and haven't changed anything else. It is non drying, and i particularly like that it 'reduces the discomfort of hard water' (because i have hard water) and have never seen something with that purpose before! It's mild, smells great and has actually cleared my skin up! Will definitely be re-buying this! -

I received this as part of the review club and can honestly say that i am really impressed. it is so gentle in removing tattoo liner and waterproof mascara, and i really work the product in to my lash line and am never left with any residue after gently wiping it with a face cloth. I have been using the makeup eraser routinely, but completely switched to this for the trial and was left with a tough contender for stubborn, long lasting makeup. -

These aren't my favourite lip balms, and although they have great claims for moisturizing and 'shine' the scent of this one started to irritate my throat when i wore it.
I do not like the cube style, as some other reviewers have said, if you have any bit of lipstick remaining on your lips when you apply, it gets into the crevices of the cube and discolours it - not the most hygienic thing i don't think.
all in all i really appreciate the opportunity to try these!

I don't particularly like the cube style of this one, but the mint is definitely my favourite (I'm a sucker for anything with menthol)... This is the one i will most likely be using the most!
It has an almost sweet mint scent, instead of a more medicated one.
The cube style is less convenient for carrying, and also just an 'odd' way to put lip balm on... i am more concerned with the effectiveness of a product vs it's 'trendy packaging'

Softlips® LUXE Lip Moisturizer - Silky Shea

I prefer the 'stick' style over the cube, it's easier to carry and store vs a cube.
The 'silky shea' has a really nice, light berry scent. Although these aren't my favourite lip moisturizers, i will definitely continue to use them.
I probably wouldn't buy these specifically for moisturizing, especially if you're looking for an intense balm, but for me i like to have something on my lips all the time, so these are great for that.

I haven't used SoftLips since High school... these are very lightweight moisturizers, albeit they do have a bit of a 'greasy' feel, but they do the trick. The scent of the creamy coconut is quite pleasant, almost reminds me of a type of sunscreen scent (which i like :P)

This is our GO TO for traveling! I don't even use it so much at home as i do when i travel.
It is a staple for cleaning hotel bathrooms, especially bath tubs.. I LOVE a nice relaxing bath after a long day, and i have to do a lot of travelling for work. I have been fortunate enough to be in some amazing locations, but the clean freak nagging in my mind can't stop - regardless if it's a 5 star hotel in Malta - the cleaning staff still have a tendency to wear their shoes IN the tub while they clean the shower.... that's where a small bottle of the Vim cream comes in handy :) it doesn't take up much space, and gives you great peace of mind!
