This lipstick isn't really a lipstick, more of a combination lipstick/balm/gloss. It's quite glossy and sheer but has some pigmentation to it at the same time. Similar to the Revlon lip butters. I'm not sure if I prefer one over the other but I do find this one more glossy and less pigmented.
They come in some gorgeous colours and I predict that this one will definitely be a summer favourite.

I say, for about 2 or 3 dollars, you can't really go wrong with this lipstick. They are quite pigmented and thick, so much so that it is a bit difficult to put them on since they don't really smoothly glide on but they do last quite a while and they have good coverage. They come in a nice range of colours too.
I am not a fan of the packaging or case, I find that the lipstick shape itself is a bit hard to work with but again, for $2, I won't complain too much. It's a nice item to pick up at Walmart and I would definitely consider repurchasing.

I bought this lipstick in two shades: Fuchsia and Coral. I love both of these colours and the lipstick itself glides on really nicely and is quite pigmented and matte. Because it is matte though, it is very drying and I find I need to constantly reapply lip balm.
The lipstick has a tendency to just get everywhere as well because it is so pigmented. In the morning it looks like I have been making out with my coffee cup. For $6 this is a great buy and I will continue to repurchase them, especially if they keep making these great colours. The lipstick also smells really nice- like cocoa or cake!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish by KATE Lipstick

While this isn't my absolute favourite lipstick, for $5.99, it does a pretty good job. It goes on pretty smoothly but it is a bit spotty and it isn't totally opaque so it took me some blotting and dabbing and reapplying to get it the way I wanted it. For a matte lipstick, it isn't overly drying which is nice as well.
I really love the colours in this collection though. They are a bit on the avant garde side for a drug store brand but they are gorgeous and great for summer.

I've tried other razors, similar in style to this one so I wasn't that excited to give this one a try but I have to say, it is becoming a favourite of mine!
I really like the handle and the moving head. They are really light and easy to hold and the head glides with the curves of your leg.
The moisture strips have lasted me a while now which is impressive and they haven't gotten that goopy mess on them like they normally do. I was also impressed with how close a shave I got.
I received this product to review but I would consider repurchasing it. I also liked that it came with a small little hook and suction cup for your shower.

I received this product to review this past winter and I have been hooked on it every since!
I was never a huge fan of highlighters and I didn't really get the point but I have to say, this one really makes a difference and gives a really pretty glow and helps to define my facial structure. It's easy to apply, and a little goes a long way. It's easy to overdo though, and then you kind of look oily and greasy so it's best not to do too much.
It's a bit pricey, but I like the results I get from this and it has lasted me a while so I think I will be repurchasing this one.

This is a great product! It's a good price and it lasts a pretty long time because you do not need to reapply this very often and a little goes a very long way.
It is very pigmented and matte and goes on pretty smoothly too. It is a bit shocking at first to apply because believe me when I say this, it is very pigmented. Definitely easy to overdo but a swipe on top and bottom and you're good to go. I was pretty impressed with its staying power too. Even after eating and drinking it was there. It comes in some great shades, I have Strawberry Kiss 03. They do also make more glittery ones too.
My only complaint is that it is drying. So you'll need to wear a balm with this one.
I will be repurchasing this one!

I received this lipstick in Kiss to review and I have to say, I was very pleased with it, especially since it only costs $6 normally. Definitely a good bargain buy.
I was worried that this intense pink would be too much for me but this product is actually pretty sheer. It still has colour to it but it's much more washed out then you expect. I liked the amount of gloss in it too, nothing over the top.
It doesn't have a lot of staying power though and I actually used this up pretty quickly, which was surprising. But, definitely a good quickie item to pick up at the grocery store.

I have mixed feelings about this product. On the one hand, it smells very nice and I really did notice that I wasn't irritated after shaving. On the other hand, it kind of lacked in the stopping sweat department. It didn't last 24h like it claimed and I really didn't think it was strong enough. It is an "invisible anti perspirant" though and it lives up to that. I didn't notice any staining on my clothes.
I would recommend this for someone else. I don't think its the product for myself.

I liked this toothpaste but I think maybe I was just expecting too much because it kind of fell flat for me. I did see a difference but it wasn't a huge one. I think since this toothpaste contains the same ingredients as the strips, I expected a bigger difference but I only saw a small difference.
A weird complaint too but I found that on skin, it was really strong and burned a bit. Not pleasent. The price is just ok, not too bad but not great either.
I see the same results with my less expensive Arm & Hammer toothpaste so I think I will stick with that. It's not a bad product but the whitening toothpaste market is so saturated, I think you can find the same thing for around this price or less.
