Wonderful top coat! Nails are dry in less than 1 minute and it provides a lovely, really shiny look to the nail.
It is old school, so the smell is very strong and it is not 3-free, so this won't be everyone's choice. But for the price and the results, I have not come across a better topcoat that is quick drying, keeps your nails chip free and gives really shiny, gel-like results.
I think you can only find it at beauty supply stores or online, but Winners typically has it, so I always get it there.

I definitely notice a difference when I use this protectant spray and when I don't. Gives my hair additional grip/texture, which helps with styling, while also performing its main function, which is protecting my hair from heat damage.
Very affordable, I don't love the smell, but in my opinion, it's the best option out there at the mass/drugstore level.
Worth a try if you heat style your hair, particularly if you use a flat iron.

If you are a beauty fanatic of the luxury variety and you haven't heard of By Terry, I suggest you get with it! This is an amazing range of makeup and this product in particular is incredible. It's a cream eyeshadow in stick format. The finish is shimmery, gorgeous, and most importantly, long lasting. You can use it as a liner, or apply it all over the lid. The reason I love it so much is because you can create a full on smokey eye look with just this one product.
My favourite is the colour Bronze Moon. I would definitely recommend trying it out for yourself!

Not a fan of these pods at all. I find them very overpriced (unless on sale), and didn't see the benefit in using these versus liquid laundry detergent.
I tested them in both hot and cold water, and found that in both cases, the pod didn't dissolve properly. I can see why some people may find these handy, but I will not use these again.

I just used this product this morning and I am in love. I had used the Aqua Eyes before, and loved them, but for my purposes, I find this liner even better.
The formula is a rich, matte black (shade M-10) and once it sets, it doesn't budge. I used it to tightline my eyes, and then also applied it to the lash line and smudged it out with a brush. The result is quite nice and the product has not budged from either area.
The tip is super slim so you can do precise defining or smudge it out for a smokey look. Oh, added bonus, it's a twist up pencil, so no need to worry about sharpening! I believe the product retails for about $23, so while it is pricier than a drugstore liner, I think that the quality you are getting for the price cannot be matched.

Another stunning lip product from Armani. I have to say, I have tried most of their lipstick ranges, as well as their glosses and this is just phenomenal! I have the colour 400, which I believe is their signature red colour.
The product is quite innovative, as it bills itself as a "cc" lipstick, not only delivering colour, but care as well. I found the formula to be extremely nourishing and the wear was great. It actually feels like a balm on your lips, but has the pigmentation and finish of a lipstick. Easy to apply, really really gorgeous.
Everything about Armani cosmetics screams luxury, and this product is no different - from the red packaging to the formulation, to the colour, it's all fabulous.

Stunning foundation. Very light, but gives amazing coverage. That being said, it never looks cakey or overdone, in fact, it has quite a lovely satin finish. Not ideal for those with very oily skin, as it can get quite shiny. This foundation photographs beautifully as well - no white cast whatsoever, so great if you are going to have many photos taken.
I absolutely love this foundation, but if you are looking for a comparable product that won't break the bank, try L'Oreal True Match Lumi - the product is almost identical in coverage, finish and texture.
Overall, another fantastic product from Armani!

This is a very luxurious concealer. Like, we are talking uber-luxury here. The concealer itself is lovely and I cannot fault it in any way, but it is quite expensive.
The quality is truly lovely and if you like high-end products, then I would definitely recommend trying this out. It's great as an under eye concealer, but can also be used on blemishes. Provides great coverage but has a radiant finish so it doesn't look cakey at all.
Hope to try more Cle de Peau products in the future, this was truly indulgent.

Gorgeous mascara in every sense of the word. Packaging is lovely, the formula, like all Lancome mascaras is wonderful and the innovative swan neck brush is the real deal!
Very easy to use and make simple to get those small inner corner lashes. It provided a very full, false lash look, which I absolutely love.
It's more pricey than other Lancome mascaras ($36 at Pharmaprix/SDM), which I think is a touch overpriced, but overall, I am thrilled with this mascara.

I was extremely disappointed with this cleanser. Like others have said, it left my skin very dry and it did a terrible job of removing my face makeup, and FORGET it removing your mascara. I am not a fan of the smell, and after using it for a week, it broke me out terribly.
I am sure that it's a great cleanser for some, but I don't get the hype AT ALL. I now use it to clean my makeup brushes since it's too harsh for my skin.
