This is a good toothbrush, it cleans effectively and the bristles, even though they are soft, are built to go in and around edges of your teeth. However, I don't know if it is worth the price tag. I don't think it is comparable to an electric brush but that being said, it is a good brush. I do like that it has a tongue cleaner on the other side as well. I don't think I will repurchase this, just because it is a bit too much.

I found this rinse really gentle but refreshing at the same time. There's no major sting or burn but you did feel like it did a good job and lasts a while. It has a nice minty taste that isn't overpowering.
It's on the pricier side, but if you want something a bit more sensitive, I would suggest this. I did find that soon after whitening my teeth, this did burn a bit, but I think that's expected. I would purchase this again.

The one thing that stands out to me, with this toothpaste is that the freshness and mintyness lasts a long time. It makes brushing very enjoyable! :) I've only been using it for a week or two so I haven't noticed too much of a difference in whitening, but there is a slight change and I think with regular usage it will keep whitening. This toothpaste is a bit pricey but I think I would purchase it again.

I first heard about this perfume on Beauty Editor who wrote that she ADORED it so obviously, I had to try it out as well. I tested it at first at the store and walked around with it all afternoon and I knew I had to have it. It settles differently on everyone's skin, so this is kind of a hit/miss scent. Some people will adore it while others will not at all! Its made from essential oils and it strong, which means it will last a while.
There is a big emphasis on jasmine in the perfume which makes it really seductive and exotic. It's very floral but not sweet, more spicy and warm which I love. It's alluring and intense but really welcoming. I bought a small bottle of this for $20 and it will last me a while but I think its definitely a scent I will repurchase.

Okay, so this foundation has some crazy town properties to it so before I get into it, this is the brand's description:
A formula that is easy to apply with unified distribution, and covers imperfections. An ultra-fine oil-pigment suspension that perfects the complexion, instantly igniting skin’s natural luminosity. A water and powder-free base.
Basically, this foundation isn't your average formula. Its very lightweight and the pigments are suspended in the oil base. Its said that it isn't a foundation, but a complexion perfecter and I have to say, it kind of lives up to the hype. It blends so nicely and the finish is gorgeous. Weirdly, the foundation has a dropper because it is so liquidy. You can't really apply with a sponge. I used my fingers but you could also try with a stippling brush. It feels and looks like you aren't even wearing any foundation. It isn't heavy though so there isn't a lot of coverage like a regular foundation so if you have many blemishes, you'll need to use a concealer with this.
I found that at the end of the day, my skin was a bit oilier than usual. There was a distinct shine on my forehead. But my skin felt really soft.
This is more money than I'd normally spend on a foundation. I got a sample of the foundation at the counter though and I'm reallllyyy enjoying it so far so I might go ahead and splurge.

This is quite possibly the cutest restaurant ever, in the world. The decor and atmosphere is just so cute, homey and welcoming. When you enter, you feel like you're in a totally separate, relaxing space. It's a hidden gem right now, tucked away, so I recommend trying them now before they blow up! The service is very attentive, friendly and speedy. The food is tasty, fresh and flavourful. They have a huge selection of coffees, teas, lattes etc. and other cold drinks. The menu is a bit french, mostly bistro and cafe type foods. Really delicious sandwiches, soups and salads, on the healthier side too with great ingredients. I had a mango, salmon, pesto sandwich and a chickpea soup. A great bet for lunch or just to sit and relax with a laptop and a dessert and coffee. It's not too expensive. For a beer, half soup, sandwich with tip it came to about $22. -

I own and love the Urban Decay Naked foundation and I bought the Revlon dupe of it on a whim. The foundation and the matching setting powder were on same as a package together for $15 which I thought was a decent price considering each one is about 15 on its own usually. I wasn't sure how I would like it, I usually go for very matte, high coverage, pigmented foundations but I'm really happy with this foundation so far. It's quite liquidy and light weight but that doesn't mean it doesn't give good coverage. It has quite a bit of pigment to it so while it is lightweight, it does cover blemishes and even your skintone. It has a semi-matte finish I would say, it is a bit dewy. You definitely need to set it. It is quite smooth, goes on well, and blends easily and sets nicely.
The one thing I'm not crazy about is the packaging. It's an inconvenient bottle since it just has a screw on lid and no pump and it comes out pretty fast and you end up wasting some since a little does go a pretty long way.

This can be a bit misleading, I actually thought this was a cream cleanser that you rinsed off but it isn't. This has the consistency of a light lotion that you put on your face to cleanse your skin and remove your makeup. You simply wipe it off with a cotton pad. I really like how mild and gentle this is while still removing all the dirt and makeup. It is a bit tricky around the eyes. You can still use it in the area but I actually prefer using a petroleum jelly. I've found that using this has kept my skin hydrated and moisturized. I wouldn't recommend this for someone with oily skin but for combination or dry skin, I think it works really well. My skin doesn't react well with the foaming agent in many cleansers so this has been my go to lately. You can definitely rely solely on this for a cleanser but I usually use this and then depending on how my skin feels either an exfoiliating scrub or another cleanser. -

This is a bit tricky because I broke out just as I started using this foundation, but I'm not sure if it caused the acne or not. It did start clearing up a few days after I stopped using it too so it could be the foundation, or it could be that the foundation didn't cause the break outs but it didn't exactly help in clearing it up. So, if you are thinking about this foundation, like a lot of MAC foundations, definitely keep it in mind that they may cause breakouts. I would ask for a sample and try it on your jawline first.
The foundation is a decent price- $40 for the size and quality. The formula is made for dry skin. It does a good job of hydrating the skin but I did notice towards the end of the day, my skin was very oily and shiny. This also could have been since I was breaking out and my skin was already oily. I did like the coverage of the foundation. It had good pigmentation without being too thick. It wasn't like I was wearing way too much makeup. I blends out really nicely and I like the way it is applied and settles into the skin.
I don't know if I would go for this one again just because of the breakouts I associate with it and I think I would prefer a foundation that is more matte throughout the day. If you have very dry skin or if you like a dewy finish, I would recommend this for you.

At $3.49, this concealer is dirt cheap and a steal! The concealer has two shades, one slightly light and one slightly darker and you mix them to make your perfect shade. I love this concept because I do this on a regular basis but usually I need to buy two separate concealers. I love the darker shade for larger, raised bumps and the lighter shade for dark circles or red marks.
The formula is pretty pigmented and opaque but not cakey. I did read a review that said it dried out pretty fast and I tend to agree with this because it isn't a watery, gel-like formula, this is thicker and more solid, creamy. It seems to be lasting a pretty long time and it doesn't crease very easily. I am pretty pleased with this cheapie purchaser and I think I will purchase it again!
