I got "Bloodline" and the colour is marvelous. A very pretty dark red that is flattering for all skin tones. I was very curious to try this product, because it claims to stay on for a week. I had to apply 3 layers of nail polish to reach the opacity I wanted. Not too much of an issue, but I definitely prefer when 2 layers are enough. It dries pretty quickly and it is very shiny. I topped it with one layer of the Vinylux Top Coat.
Now, for the effectiveness of the product : the nail polish was flawless for 3 days. After that, it started chipping. Now, not every single person uses their hands the same way everyday. But I have Invisalign and need to take out my trays a few times a day, which probably contributed to the chipping.
The polish also tends to stain your nails a little when you remove it.
Overall, this nail polish is one of the few in my collection that has such a staying power. I'm satisfied, and was not expecting a miracle anyways.

I was surprised when I unwrapped the lip balm. I had tried eos before, and I like their products. But seeing this crystal clear balm was quite intriguing! The peach and hibiscus combination is great ; I love the smell! The packaging is very cute also. The product feels good and smooth on my lips, without the usual waxy feeling. And the oils are indeed hydrating. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that you have to reapply it several times a day. At least this was the case for me. Overall, a go-to for me! -

Blemishes? Dark undereye circles? Redness? Pimples? This product is the answer.
Okay, so I had never ever tried any colour correcting kits before. I used to find them quite intimidating, to be honest. This was before I gave this product a try. And wow... this is a great discovery! I read the instructions and applied it, building up a little - DON'T apply too much colour!
You don't want your face to end up yellowish or worse, greenish. The key is to use it in moderation ; it blends really well. The highlights are very pretty too! And a little goes a long way.
I would recommend this product to anyone having blemishes, dark undereyes, redness and/or pimples.

A bright, gorgeous glow, with a touch of pink for a radiant look!
I'm usually not into liquid highlighters - but I gave this product a try. I applied it over my foundation, with a wet sponge. It took some work to blend well, but it's manageable and I applied it over my cheekbones, on the tip of my nose, my chin and my cupid's bow. It turns out very pretty, and it is quite eye catching under the lights! It is buildable for a dramatic look. A little goes a long way, which is a good thing - it's gonna last a while!
I find blending it with some liquid foundation all over my face gave me a subtle, yet healthy look. I like the fact that it is pinkish and not too white as most highlighters tend to be. Would definitely recommend.

Beautifully shimmery, but needs a few coats for extra defined brows!
I used this highlighter pencil after applying some eyeshadow primer + translucide powder. I needed to apply a few layers for the product to be bright enough for my taste. It did help make my brows pop out under the light. However, the problem is in the creamy texture - it is easy and fun to put on, but it tends to crease easily. But it doesn't feel greasy. Also, the tip of the pencil is quite large, so I prefer applying it with my little finger and build up.
I would recommend this product to anyone wanting brows on fleek at a reasonable price!

Say goodbye to clumpiness with this easily buildable mascara!
To start off, my lashes are very long. So it is hard for me to find a mascara that doesn't turn out clumpy or flakey. This product pleasantly surprised me ; the brush really separated my lashes and curled them just right - however it made my lashes too long for my personal taste, since they already are of pretty good length, but that is good news for women with short lashes, for sure! I did not need two coats ; one thin coat was enough. It made my lashes as dark as I could hope for.
The only downside would be that the brush is so big, it's hard to apply on the lower lashes without getting stains on the undereyes.

Great value, matte, light and full coverage ; this is a must-have!
This is such a nice, total coverage foundation. It feels pretty light on my face, and it lasts all day long - as long as I apply some setting powder after, because otherwise, it does crease a bit. The greatest feature of this product is the fact that it is pretty matte - I personally dislike a shimmery face. Adding setting powder helps me achieve that ultimate matte look. Also, I find that it minimizes the large pores on my cheeks, something I didn't get to experience yet with a liquid foundation. I blend it with a wet sponge and it works like a charm. I would definitely recommend this affordable product.

St. Ives® Acne Control Apricot Scrub
It's average. I use it every once in a while and it's a good cleanser. I mostly appreciate the fresh scent of apricot. But I would not say this product is of outstanding quality.
