Very pleasantly surprised by this product! My skin felt so soft after using this - the combination of the scrub and the natural oils leaves your skin feeling like actual silk. There are two things that resulted in this not being a perfect product... one, it's messy to use and two, it does leave your tub very very slippery. The product itself is fantastic, I just wish it was less messy (maybe a tube for the packaging?)
Make sure you give your tub a good rinse after using this, but really, I was shocked by how great this scrubs and moisturises.

The translucent version of this pressed powder is incredible in every way.... the ONLY downside is that it has a very strong smell, which can be off-putting for some. Aside from that, it is a bargain as it sets foundation beautifully and definitely keeps your skin looking matte all day. Definitely worth trying, great bang for your buck. -

I have tried may patches, sprays, rubs and this is by far the best treatment for muscle pain, strains and aches.
I had very low expectations since these kinds of products don't usually work, but this blew me away. Effective, easy to apply and truly did provide long lasting pain relief.
I would definitely recommend giving these a try!

This is the newest fragrance from Armani and it is gorgeous! It's essentially a modern take on a chypre perfume. In this case, it's a very feminine, sophisticated and warm. One of the notes in this is cassis, which I absolutely love. The scent also has notes of vanilla which gives it a lovely warmth.
This is an eau de parfum, and I found the staying power to be quite good. The packaging is elegant and with Cate Blanchett as the face of the product, you can't go wrong. She wouldn't lead us astray, would she?
Definitely a must try (must smell?) if you are looking for a new perfume that is quite different from the influx of overly sweet and floral perfumes out there.

One of the best foundations I have ever used, by far! Perfect texture, great for dry, normal or combination skin and very long-wearing.
It provides a medium coverage that can be layered for heavier coverage if needed. That being said, this foundation can also be applied with a sponge or beauty blender-type tool for a sheer application. The finish is slightly dewy, but not overly so.
Overall, you cannot go wrong with this foundation, unless you have very oily skin, in which case the Sheer Matte version may be better suited to you.

I was very excited to try this product since Bliss is well known for their hair removal products. Unfortunately, I cannot say I liked this product.
To start, the price is quite expensive and in my opinion, didn't work any better than drugstore versions of depilatory creams. It has that awful depilatory smell and the applicator is rubbish. You have to squeeze the tube extremely hard and it comes out very slowly. I understand that the idea was to allow for very precise application but I think it's more of a hassle than anything.
In terms of how the product actually worked... well it kind of worked. I had to leave it on longer than the maximum of 10 minutes, and even then, not all of the hair was dissolved (TMI?). It left stubble so that wasn't ideal.
Won't be using this again. One redeeming quality, however, was that I have extremely sensitive skin and this did not irritate it thankfully.

Like many others, I received a duo from Sephora for my birthday. I absolutely love the texture and smell of these produts! The orginal, clear version is my favourite and it feels absolutely luxurious on the lips.
Unfortunately, the price makes it a little less appealing since I don't typically spend $25 for a lip balm. BUT if you want to splurge or get someone a nice gift, this could be a lovely option!

I really liked this product. The whole gloss, balm, lipstick hybrid thing is hot right now, with almost every brand having something to offer. I have to say, I really enjoyed this lip crayon. The colour was sheer, but still bold enough so that you could actually see the colour on my lips.
I found the texture to be very moisturizing and while the wear wasn't long lasting, I don't think that is the point of a product like this. Easy to apply, great when you are going for a no-makeup makeup look!

All I can say is... yes. Try this shampoo and conditioner immediately. This is definitely one of the best drugstore choices if you have dry/damaged hair. I don't know what they put in it, but it works like a dream.
Typically, I find shampoo and conditioner that is designed for dry hair leaves my hair feeling very heavy, limp and gross. This does not do that. My hair feels hydrated, much more manageable and really remedies any signs of dryness.
I was surprised that such an affordable product could deliver such amazing results. Next up I must try the styling products!

I always stayed away from Herbal Essences for some reason.... but I had to leave my two cents because I really love this shampoo (and the corresponding conditioner!)
The smell is divine - sort of minty and herbally, but it isn't too overpowering. I typically pick it up when it's on sale, often 2 for $5, which is a steal in my opinion.
I still don't care for the rest of their products (smells are strong and find the products a bit too harsh), but I really like the Naked range!
