This Fragrance hits you as very strong at first but turns into something quite beautiful as it settles.
It is a very dark, sensual and sweet scent - perfect for a cold, winters night, and definitely not a Summer Scent.
It has hints of Pear, Mandarin, Vanilla and Black Rose at first which is a great combination of sexy and sweet. You can easily distinguish all the layers of the perfume and slowly you begin to smell hints of Caramel and Coffee. I have even have customers tell me they've picked up on Chocolate Cake, Bergamont and Licorice. This Fragrance is great for somebody who likes a "sweet" or "fruity" scent but also wants to be mature and elegant. It is somewhat similar to Lancomes La Vie Est Belle, but I feel this to be more sweet and less strong.
As I said, at first it hits you as very strong and that strength makes it a very long-lasting scent. You only need one or two sprays to get you through the day and to really pick up on all of the different tones and bases.
The bottle is also beautiful and doubles as a great decoration on your bathroom sink or vanity. It is shaped similarly to a diamond with a dark, almost black/purple tones in the perfume that reflect nicely. It also has a little rose shaped ribbon wrapped near the cover.

I love Benefit even though the products are a little bit pricier than average, but this Mascara just didn't do it for me.
It did not do anything "special" or "amazing", I felt the overall quality of the product to be average. The formulation was a little thicker though, it seemed to grip and pull my lashes into shape a little easier than other mascaras and it lasts. I didn't get the volume or thickness I like to get from my mascaras and I couldn't apply too many coats without it beginning to clump and flake. It does give you a "natural" looking lash, which might be what they were going for.. I just prefer thick and dramatic lashes without clumps and flakes.
Overall, this product didn't offer anything that you can't achieve by using a cheaper drugstore alternative - not worth the money.

essence Color and Go Nail Polish
There isn't a huge selection of colours, but they do have the basics and they also release some different shades seasonally. I have most colours and they are very streaky and do not coat your nails very well. You sometimes need to apply 3 - 4 coats... +
There isn't a huge selection of colours, but they do have the basics and they also release some different shades seasonally. I have most colours and they are very streaky and do not coat your nails very well. You sometimes need to apply 3 - 4 coats to have a nice, even look and then it seems to take forever to dry because you have so much polish on your nails. Also, the bottle itself is very small and I feel the polish gets thick and "goopy" quickly inside the bottle, I only get a decent application once before it gets too thick.
However, for the price - you can't go wrong.

These are very light, hydrating and feel great on your lips. They are easy to apply because they are so smooth, they just seem to glide across your lips.
These are great if you do not usually wear lip products because they are not very pigmented. They won't give you a dramatic or very noticeable lip. Unfortunately, you'll need to reapply a few times a day because they do not last very long.
They do not have much of a taste, nothing that I noticed anyway. They do not bleed or smudge onto the skin around your lips either, which is great for such a hydrating lipstick.

I've used many different Hair Straighteners and this one has been my favourite.
My hair is very long and is frizzy and wavy, this flat iron striaghtens my hair quickly and gets rid of all frizz. I only need to go over my hair once or twice to get my desired look, other straighteners I would need to go over it three or four times. It saves me time and also saves my hair by not applying heat as often. My hair is frizz-free and straight, and the straightener also leaves my hair looking shinier, healthy and full of volume.
You do not need to press the clamps hard onto your hair either, it wraps around nicely and also doesn't pull or snag any hair while you're pulling. My hair stays straight all day, even in heat and humidity.
It also isn't overly expensive for a "salon brand" straightener, you can get cheaper but the quality isn't there and you can also get more expensive but I can't imagine it being much better than this product. I will definitely re-purchase this Straightener when it's time to replace my current one and I also recommend this to anybody with any hair type and concern.

I have tried a few different Greek Yogurts that are available and this one has been my favourite.
A lot of other Greek Yogurts have been too watery and has the consistency of just regular yogurt. Oikos has a perfect texture, it is very thick, rich and creamier than other yogurts.
Also, Oikos has a huge flavour selection and they are all good. My favourites so far have been: Vanilla, Honey and Coconut. The plain is also good on its own, no need to add any fruits or berries, it doesn't have that "sour" taste you can get from some plain yogurts.
It is pricier than a few other Yogurts that are out and the containers are smaller but it is worth the extra spending. The thicker texture makes this a great alternative in cooking and baking as well.

I am unable to eat breakfast because it upsets my stomach so I drink one of these every morning instead.
They are a healthy alternative, full of protein and vitamins. They keep me feeling full and also give me a little boost of energy that lasts me until my lunch break. I notice a difference in my performance if I do not have one of these, I feel sluggish and tired.
The come in a variety of flavours as well, Butter Pecan has been my favourite and Strawberry has been my least (although it is still good). I have tried a few different "Meal Replacement" drinks, these ones have been the best tasting and also one of the least expensive ones.

I use this product anytime I have any nasal congestion whether it be from a cold or just allergies.
You'll need to practice a few times and mentally prepare yourself because it is a little gross and weird feeling. You can feel the water mixture going through one nostril, through all your sinus' and coming out the other nostril but when you are done you feel opened up and less congested. It definitely works and it worth it if you are somebody with allergies or if you work with dust/pollutants a lot.
I once ran out of the little packets and so I decided to do the rinse with just plain water - do not do this. It burned so bad and did not do anything for my congestion either.

I do not understand why there is such a hype over this foundation because there is nothing special or amazing about it.
The coverage is mediocre and average, I've seen videos of people covering tattoos using this and I didn't even feel like it covered anything so, videos and images can be deceiving. It is very watery, too watery. Does not feel creamy or smooth while applying, just feels like water. You could probably BUILD your coverage with this product but it is such an unpleasant feeling on the face that you wouldn't want too.
All I really have to say is - it's not worth the hype or the price.

This is the PERFECT Day Cream for anybody in the beginning stages of aging and want to begin a skincare routine. It is specifically designed to fight the first signs of aging whether it be from pollution, stress, lack of sleep or anything that can begin to age you and your skin.
I am 24 and my skin is already beginning to lose some radiance and is starting to look dull. I have been using this Cream for about 5 months and the difference in my skin is amazing. My skin is more vibrant and radiant and I was a second-hand smoker for years, this really helped to correct the asphyxiated-gray look I had to my skin. My skin is well moisturized and feels hydrated, this cream also helps my makeup to apply easier without the use of a primer. I am a combination skin-type and this also smooths out and minimizes the pores around my nose and cheeks.
The smell is great, a light and fresh scent - nothing too overwhelming and nothing that would irritate sensitive skin. The texture is light and gel-like, it applies well and spreads easily so a little goes a long way. It doesn't leave my skin feeling oily and I feel no residue on my face as it absorbs quickly.
I recommend to pair this with the Idealia Serum because that is when you REALLY notice a difference in your skin that you just can't achieve with either product on it's own.
