I used to not like Nutella as much, since I found it too sweet to enjoy on toast or pancakes. But once I discovered having it with some fruit, I have been a convert. When I was a student and had a craving for a slightly sweet snack, mixing it with some fresh fruit really hit the spot. Even at parties we would create a fruit salad and have Nutella as the sauce. Also when I add a light layer of Nutella to toast/pancakes/waffles with a layer of fruit, it instantly becomes my absolute favourite thing to eat.
I find it hard for anyone to dislike Nutella, there are so many ways you can enjoy it.

After months of deciding whether or not to purchase the Batiste dry shampoo, I finally bit the bullet and bought it on a day where I really needed it.
At first it was a bit strange, since I wasn't used to the product. But after using it a few times I got the hang of it and now I can't go back to life before using Batiste! It absorbs all the oils on your head and gives your hair a fresh look with added volume. I am sensitive to scents, so I will probably continue using the original version, but I love that there are a variety of dry shampoos available for those who would prefer a scent or different type.

Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Ultra-Wear Top Coat

As in the name, it claims to provide a salon perfect finish up to 10 days, guaranteed. I guess that's possible if you have a lot of time to let your nails dry. I am rather impatient and find that once I finish painting my nails, I need a top coat that is shiny, dries fast, and sets my nail polish so I don't have to worry about smudges.
This top coat provides a nice shiny finish, however it takes a LONG time to dry. I applied this and let my nails dry for two hours, when I took a look all my nails were smudged with fingerprints all over. I removed the nail polish, repainted it again and within 10 minutes they were smudged again. Frustrated, I decided to cover the smudged nails with a glitter top coat and use a different top coat. The next day I went to look at my nails and they still felt a little soft, and not completely set. I am disappointed as with the money it took to purchase this, I could've easily bought another Sally Hansen brand top coat that I know works.

Winners is one of my favourite stores to visit, just when I think "I don't need to go to winners", I go to one and see one product I want, and suddenly I am stopping by every winners nearby to see if they have the same product.
One of the things with shopping at Winners is you have to have patience and a lot of time. You really need to be patient and look for the good deals. Be smart about your purchases, because some things are discounted heavily and some aren't. Being aware of prices in other stores or if you can get a better deal with sales elsewhere is the first step.
I find most Winners stores messy and the service is never too great. But despite that I still enjoy shopping there because they have a wide variety of international goods that are MUCH cheaper than what you find at supermarkets that import the same item in. Overall I highly recommend!

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette

Nice light scent that is perfect for the summer time. I wore it all summer and had so many compliments from people that I smelt nice. Out of all of the perfumes I have, I have got the most compliments for it.
I would recommend trying it out first, as I had friends who bought it and didn't prefer it. Remember, don't just try it by smelling it on one of those hard papers near perfume for testing, be sure to wear it and see if it reacts with your body nicely!

Dove White Beauty Bar
My favourite soap bar - I can't use anything else! No matter which shower gel or new soap bar I try out, I always turn back to Dove. The sensitive kind is also excellent, the price is great, and I enjoy the scent.

Smiths Rosebud Salve

Best bang for your buck! Initially you may think it's expensive, around $10 for a tube or tin. But when you consider how much product you are getting, as well as how little you need to use every time, it really goes a long way. I received the tin from a friend, it instantly became my favourite as the minted rose scent was great and it lightly stained my lips, which I loved. A few years later I was in a store and saw a new version in a tube, I picked it up and have been using it everyday and the tub has lasted me over 6 months! The tin version can last me 2 years, sometimes even longer! -

I bought the Advanced Hair Series Oxygen Moisture shampoo and conditioner set in hopes that it would hydrate my hair and give it some volume. Instead what I found is that the shampoo is very stripping, and although my hair is already quite dry it, using the shampoo makes it worse. The conditioner is nice, but it is like any conditioner. I haven't noticed any differences in volume and instead I have had to go back and use a more conditioning shampoo so help my hair rehydrate. Great price, but I would rather use other Dove products that I found worked better in the past. -

This is my absolute favourite top coat. Dries very quickly - which is great because after I paint my nails I have a hard time sitting still waiting for them to dry. Provides a shiny finish and it prevents chipping for me! Even if I have a few chips, putting on another coat of this helps seal it in and makes my manicure last longer. At a affordable price, it's my go-to whenever I am painting my nails. -
