I really like this base coat. It goes on smoothly and easily and dries down fast. It's a bit tacky, even once "dry", but I think that it helps to make your nail polish colour stick down to your nail. Nail colour goes on nice and easy with this base coat on and I really do think it makes a difference to the appearance and the polish's lasting power. The best thing about this base coat is that it works well and it's super cheap! Can't go wrong there. -

I bought this liner specifically for use in my waterline and for tightlining my eyes. I had read good things about it and the product description said that it is safe for use in the waterline, so I decided to give it a try. I am pleasently surprised by this STELLAR Hyper Eyeliner Retractable Pencil. It has a nice fine tip that makes lining my inner rim easy. It glides over my kids easily, with good pigmentation. It makes for a very nice, black line. It is also comfortable to use - it doesn't rough my eyelids up or anything.
I also bought this liner because I had read that reviews that said it's good for contact lens wearers. I myself wear contacts, and so a liner for my waterline cannot budge and it definitely has to be non-irritating. This liner makes both those marks. It doesn't bother my eyes and it stay in place. Crazy enough, having said this, the best thing about this liner is that it really stays on and just as easily comes off! With other inner rim appropriate liners I've had in past, I've had to SCRUB my eyes to death to get the liner off. But not with this liner!
So you can see that I very much like this liner and I plan to repurchase in future.

I was very lucky to receive a VoxBox to try out HERSHEY's Gold Caramelized Creme Miniatures , for free. You get a whole brunch of these baby- sized chocolate bars in one bag; each of which are individually wrapped. I actually really like that they are mini and each wrapped. I like eating my sweets in little bits at-a-go, rather than a whole bar at once, so the minis are perfect for me. Plus, they're good for sharing.
Now to move onto the actual bar! I'm pretty sure that these bars are made out of caramelized white chocolate, but do not be fooled because they really do not taste like white chocolate at all. Rather, they have a mellow, burnt sugar type of flavour (think your favorite Starbucks créme brule latte. That sort of flavour). Sweet, but not too sweet. The bars are also, of course, choc-full of crunchy peanuts and pretzels giving you crunch, followed with a bit of salty and then peanut buttery-like goodness. The salty peanut butter taste goes really well with the caramelized chocolate, making a sweet/salty snack that's not too sweet, but just right and well balanced. Pretty yummy, and not bad at all.

Q-tips Cotton Swabs are essentially the original cotton swab brand. They are a reliable, quality product that I know I can always count on. They are good for medical/ first aid use, as well as for cosmetic purposes (which is what I use them for). The are really good to use for makeup removal around your eyes or for precise makeup application. These cotton swabs also don't fuzz off onto your face, which is very important if you're going to use them around your eyes. -

I am quite pleased with this Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. It is very different from its sibling, the Lala Retro Whipped Cream moisturizer, which I also like very much. It's a much thinner texture than the whipped cream. Even so, this silky thin mositurizer still gives my dry skin the hydration it needs, and it does so without making my face feel greasy or slimy. It's veryquick to absorb and, once it has, you don't notice it's on your face at all.
The most impressive thing to me about this moisturizer is that it really is unscented, 100%. It's hard to find a moisturizer that ticks all the boxes, that's also unscented. So this moisturizer is a big win for me. It's really nice.

I really like this mascara, a lot. This Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes Volume 2 Mascara does just as it promises. It creates big, black, fluffy, doll-like lashes, that really do have that "falsies" look to them. It also lengthens a bit, too. I usually only use one coat of this mascara, but you can apply a couple coats without a problem. If a couple of my lashes stick together from double-coating, a lash comb fixes it with ease.
This mascara does not have any problems with flaking, caking or bleeding. It may be a bit on the pricey side, but if mascara is your thing and you like dramatic looking lashes, then this is the mascara for you. I love it.

Oh MY, how I do love DAVIDsTEA. If you like tea and exploring different types and flavours of tea, then will love this store. At David's tea they have tonnes of different teas divided by type: black, green, rooibos, matcha, mate, pu'reh, herbal, white and oolong. They have a flavour for everyone's taste. There's fruity teas, traditional ones, dessert teas, teas for iced tea... almost anything that you could imagine.
When you shop in-store for tea, they let you smell it first to see what you think about it. I find this really helps tell you what the tea will taste like. They sell tea by weight and you can get as much, or as little, tea as you want. I really like this because I can buy just enough tea to make a cup or two, see if I like it and if I do, go back and buy more!
The stores also caters to all you other tea needs by selling bags, spoons, pretty cups, tea pots, tumblers and boxed tea sets. It's the best tea store there is!

This Formula X The System To Go kit is actually a pretty good little set. I was quite irlriwed and pleased at how well the products work. The base coat and top coat together really make my polish last a long time without chipping! It also give my nails a nice glossy gel look without having to use a UV lamp. A nice travel set, even if you don't intend on travelling with it, it lets you try out the formula x system without commiting to purchasing the set in full size to start. -

Colourpop's No Filter Concealer is a decent product. I know there are a lot of people that rave about this product and call it a dupe for Tarte's Shape Tape Concealer. But I don't personally think that this concealer is as good as Tarte's. It's smooth and applies nicely, yes, and it comes in a lot of shades, so cudos to Colourpop for that. But when I bought my concealer and tried using it, I'm fairly certain it oxidized when I did. It would look good and then shortly (and I mean shorty) after setting it would darken and no longer would match my skin tone. I know it isn't my setting powder to blame because I've used the same powder for ages on different concealers and it never affected them. So while it's very nice that it's a very affordable alternative to Tarte's Shape Tape Concealer, it's not exactly worth it to me if it's going to change colour and look bad on my skin. -

Oh my gosh, I as so disappointed about this nail polish. I got the set during the Sephora sale, and I was super excited about it. I live bright colours and this tropical assortment of nail polishes is so beautiful. But sadly, the polishes themselves aren't nice at all. The bright blue one is okay, but the rest of them are thick, gloppy and streaky. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get them to layer flat or look good. Especially the pale mint shade. I'm going to be returning these. Such a shame. -
