This is extremely watery (hence the name) and calling it a foundation is quite generous. I used this a few years back when my skin was almost flawless and even then it was subpar. I don't even know what you could apply this with because it's so watery. I wouldn't recommend this for the face for two reasons. Firstly, a BB cream would do a much better job re: coverage and smoothing, and secondly, this product smells really strange. It's extremely hard to describe.
This product is very expensive, and though you get a good amount, it's sucked up right away because of the consistency.
One good thing I could imagine this being good for is if you have some slight body discolouration that you'd like to minimize but don't want to use concealer, or the area is large.

Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation

Everywhere I look, I see reviews that either love it or hate it. Unfortunately, I hate it - but I wanted to love it. I have combination skiny that leans oily so I thought this product would be a good match. Upon application it looks FLAWLESS, blowing away the best foundations I've ever tried. However, this doesn't last. It oxidizes rather quickly, and my shade (the lightest), doesn't just get darker - which, frankly, I would put up with - it gets orange. Within a couple hours, and I mean a 2-3, it separates and settles on top of the skin and amplifies any texture.
I apply a thin layer and have little texture because of my age and skin type, but after a couple hours of wear, it looks like I caked this on to dry skin I never knew I had. I came home after a few hours on the town and was seriously embarrassed when I looked in the mirror - THIS is what my face looked like!?
I tried this foundation 3 times with three different high end primers and two different high end setting powders.

I received this as a free sample and I love it. I've been trying to increase my protein intake and cut back on carbs and this is definitely a good way to do it. It only has 5 grams of carbs, and 3 of those are fibre! It's worth it - considering there are 30 grams of protein. Despite only having one gram of sugar, it's quite sweet - but not overpowering at all. I think I'll use the vanilla flavour in a smoothie or cereal, but the chocolate favour is really delicious on its own! I'm not big into exercise so I'm so thankful to PremierProtein and ChickAdvisor for hooking me up and giving me the chance to try something I otherwise would have overlooked! #tryPremierProtein #gotitfree -

I received this product as a free trial and was really apprehensive at first. I don't usually drink protein shakes, and I figured the vanilla flavour would be kind of gross. While I don't like it as much as the chocolate, it's actually pretty tasty. The nutritional content is great. I'm a vegetarian and thus often miss out on protein, but don't want to sacrifice other considerations. With this shake, I don't have to. Despite only containing 1 gram of sugar, it's pretty sweet! With 30 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, 160 calories, and tonnes of nutrients and minerals, I really don't see where you could go wrong with this shake. With my next bottle I think I'll use it in some cereal. #gotitfree #tryPremierProtein -

I splurged on this when I read that a model I like used it. I loved that it boasted mostly natural ingredients and the beautiful packaging. It smells delicious. After using it, however, I noticed my chest and stomach became reddened and a bit itchy. I didn't connect the two at first because of how natural the product was. But one day I used my regular body wash and I had no issues afterward. Then I took a look at this product's ingredients and saw there were quite a few problematic ingredients. I'm not an expert on chemicals, but I'm guessing something in the formula gave me a reaction.
I'm pretty disappointed by this because the packaging and brand boast how natural it is, and even so, I've never had an issue with sensitive skin.
However, if you want to try this product or a different scent, don't let my product dissuade you from it! This is just my personal experience.

Essie is average, and I find it overhyped. It's really worse than the Covergirl brand, which I do love. Essie just doesn't last. It takes forever to truly dry. It feels dry to the touch but when engaging in light activity, or if you rub against something, it smudges up completely. It takes hours for this to stop. After this phase, chipping begins. I've yet to find a base or top coat that prevents either of these issues.
However, the shade range is fantastic and the price isn't too bad, although it is a bit much for its quality.

Big Bang Theory
Probably one of the least entertaining shows on TV today, in my opinion. Any show that tells you when to laugh via a laugh track loses legitimacy in my opinion. The jokes are repetitive and often sexist. Genuinely just boring.

I bought this product knowing very little about it. I had some Amazon gift card money and wanted to stretch it as far as I could with skincare. I saw this was Korean and seemed to have good reviews so I decided to go for it because the price was good. I don't have much problem with hyperpigmentation or anything like that, but I've heard a lot of buzz about AHA/BHA products. Despite having few problems this seems to address, I have noticed an improvement in my skin's clarity and glow. If you are looking for an AHA/BHA toner but don't want to spend too much, I recommend starting here. -
Urban Decay Naked Palette
Let me start by saying I don't regret buying this. It's a greater starter pallete if you're rich. But let's face it, we can all afford to drop $66CAD + tax and perhaps shipping on a just okay product. This, in my opinion, is the best of the Naked... +
Let me start by saying I don't regret buying this. It's a greater starter pallete if you're rich. But let's face it, we can all afford to drop $66CAD + tax and perhaps shipping on a just okay product.
This, in my opinion, is the best of the Naked palette series. The colour payoff is quite good but it just simply too expensive for the quality you get. There are so many cheaper high end palettes out there that are much better quality.

I've recently been trying to watch my carb intake and stumbled upon these. I used to eat bars that I realized were really just candy bars. These, although not the best choice in the world after research, are quite sound. They are low carb, low sugar, and high protein. Exactly what I need to get me through the day without the guilt of a candy bar. -
