I picked up this mascara after spotting it on sale for $6. I found the primer end dried fairly quickly when applied to my lashes. I gave it a minute or so before applying the mascara end to make sure it was dry. The mascara went on smoothly and separated my lashes nicely and didn't clump. I didn't get quite the fullness or length I have with some other mascaras so I had a less dramatic effect. This is a type of mascara i'd generally use for the day and not if i'm trying to go for a night time look. Towards the end of the day it did start to flake off slightly, however it lasted 10 hours without any issues. -

I decided to purchase this product after my hairdresser used it while styling my hair. I flat iron my hair 1-2x a week and never used a heat protecting spray before. I like the smell of this and a little bit goes a long way. It's simple to use as you just do a spritz per each section of hair you're flat ironing. You don't want to do more than 1 spritz per section as I found that used a bit too much and would leave my hair a bit stiff. This leaves my hair softer and I have less flyaways vs flat ironing without a spray. The bottle lasts forever however I wish the price was a bit cheaper. -

For years i've taken a one a day multivitamin. Through the advice of friends they suggested I take a more complete multivitamin due to being in the gym frequently and weight training several times a week. I purchased a 120 pill bottle for $34.99 which made me hesitant first due to the cost. Now I consider it money well spent. You take 2 pills a day and I break it up into 1 in the morning and 1 with dinner. Since switching over to opti-women I find I have a bit more energy in the gym and it doesn't have a funny after taste. It's also easier on my stomach when I take it. The only thing I noticed which was odd when I switched over was that my pee turned neon yellow. This went away after about a week. I guess it was just my body getting used to it! -

I've heard lots of things about Cake products in the past few months and have been wanting to try out the hype for myself. I was at Winners and spotted the whipped body lotion in a limited edition Jacky Frost for $7.99! I snatched it up as quick as I could and couldn't wait to try it. The smell is awesome and not artificial unlike some other sweet smelling body lotions.
With it being almost winter, my skin tends to really dry out. I'm usually applying lotion to my legs 3-4x per day. This lotion goes on super smooth and doesn't leave a film like some other lotions. It absorbed quickly and I only apply twice a day now which is awesome.
I can't wait to try out some more cake products as the quality is awesome!

I picked these up for around $4 at walmart since it was the cheapest price for any of the blemish pads that they carry. I needed some new blemish pads to keep in my gym bag to give my face a quick clean when I dont have time for a shower and i'm in a rush.
The smell of these isn't horrible but it's not that fantastic either. Unlike some blemish pads ive used in the past, these didn't sting and I felt like I got a good deep down clean. They exfoliate slightly and the amount of dirt that comes off is amazing. Didn't leave my skin super dry afterwards unlike some other pads have in the past. Great value for the price.

2 days before a big even a massive red zit decided to sprout which had me go into a panic. At the advice of my brother I went to the store and purchased spectro deep pore vanishing lotion and was hoping for a miracle. The price was very reasonable, $6.99 for a 25 ml bottle.
I put some on before bed and a small dab goes a long way, this bottle will last for a long time. When I woke up in the morning the redness was gone and the pimple was 1/2 the size. Within the next day it vanished and all that was left was a tiny little spot that was easily covered up. This is going to be a staple in my beauty stash as it works wonders.

This is now one of my new favorite products having been fortunate enough to receive it and review it. The first thing I noticed upon opening the cap was the smell. I love the smell and it has a natural smell, not fake or synthetic like some other anti fatigue eye rollers ive used in the past. The application ball rolled smoothly and applied the product evenly. After a week or so I noticed the puffyness around my eyes had reduced slightly and my dark circles were getting less noticeable. This will become a staple in my makeup bag from now on and i'd definitely suggest it. -

I was lucky to be chosen to test of Crest 3D Whitestrips 2 hour express. I had high expectations after reading some other reviews prior to using the product. I have used whitening toothpaste in the past and being a daily tea drinker, my smile needed a bit of whitening. The strips were easy to put on and stayed put during the 2 hours. I had a bit of foaming but nothing that was bad. When I took the strips off I was expecting better results than what I received. I definitely didn't receive the level of whitening that is promoted. My teeth looked slightly brighter but not something that I would have been satisfied with if I paid the full price for this product. My teeth were sensitive for the following 2 days and I would get the occasional sharp shooting pain. Sensodyne toothpaste seemed to help with this. -

I plugged one of these in my laundry room (things can get stinky when laundry is waiting to be done) and one in my bedroom. I LOVED these! My laundry room smelt fantastic even when laundry was piled up waiting to be washed. No smell of stinky gym clothes and the scent was enjoyable and not fake/synthetic smelling like some air fresheners i've tried.
I'll definitely be purchasing more of these to use throughout the whole house as they're now one of my faves.

This is now a must have of mine. My hair was feeling heavy lately and was becoming difficult to style. I thought I needed to have it thinned out when my friend who is a hairdresser suggested to use a clarifying shampoo. I was also having issues with my scalp flaking which I contributed to the recent change in weather (cold!).
I purchased redken hair cleansing shampoo at a local salon and was a bit iffy at the $17 price tag for a smaller sized bottle but thought what the heck. I'm soooooo glad I tried it!
After just 1 wash my hair is so much lighter and feels remarkably clean. There's tons of volume to it and it's super soft. It literally cleared up the issue with my flaking scalp in one use. I'm going to continue rotating this shampoo every 2nd wash.
A little bit goes a long way and it works up into a good lather.
