L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara
L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara delivers by adding a good amount of length and volume. However, it does smudge a bit which is a serious pet peeve of mine. I recommend buying a primer or just buying a mascara that doesn't smudge.

The Maybelline Mineral Power Finish Veil was so cute. I thought it was kind of fun applying this product. For this Finish Veil the shade I selected was Light.
First off, I really like how I could wear the Finish Veil with the liquid/powder foundation for a flawless finish or just wear it alone by itself for a nice light coverage. The finish veil blends naturally into my skin and I like the coverage it gives.
Also, I love how the finish veil is packaged. The press power and the mirror are separated into different compartments. Powder on top of the mirror and sponge. To use, the mirror and sponge rotates outward easily underneath the powder. The produce has a helpful picture underneath. I thought the design was just so cute.

I really like Maybelline Mineral Power foundation. My shade was Creamy Natural. The foundation blends perfectly well with my skin tone. I was quite surprised how natural the foundation blends, yet it still covers my imperfections. I have combination skin with both dry and oily areas. The liquid foundation works best for my skin type. It moisturizes my dry areas and gives a matte finish for my oily areas. In addition, the liquid foundation is really quite light and I find myself forgetting that I'm even wearing make-up. It provides great smooth coverage. Another plus is that it's quite affordable. I paid more then double for my previous foundation. And I find myself preferring the Maybelline Liquid foundation over the much expensive brand. One thing, I do recommend setting this foundation with the loose powder foundation or the Finish veil to prevent any shine at the end of the day. -

I adore the Maybelline Mineral Power Blush. The shade I selected was Gentle Pink. The blush is in loose powder form. The shade Gentle Pink works perfectly for me. My skin tone overall is creamy light with a yellow undertone. It changes a bit with the seasons.
I 'm really impress how natural the blush appeared on my skin. The blush gives my cheek the most lovely healthy glow. I just love the colour, it so cheery. In addition the colour last the entire day. I consulted my friends for a second opinion and they say it didn't appear unnatural and they couldn't tell I was wearing any make-up. Since the blush is a loose powder it doesn't require alot. Just a little blush will do the trick. I won't leave the house without applying a bit of blush on. I highly recommend it for a pop of lovely colour.

I have mixed feeling when it come to the Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer. My concealer shade was Cream. I applied it to my under eyes, the redness at the corner of my nose, and on acne marks. Also, I tested the concealer results under 2 kinds of light ; natural sun light and an indoor light bulb.
Under the two different kind of light it reveal different result on coverage. Overall, the conceal appeared to give far better coverage in the indoor lighting. Under sunlight the concealer appeared only to slightly mute the imperfection. The result under the sunlight were quite poor and won't be worth applying it. The concealer didn't seem to perform well covering up darkness under the eyes and acne marks/scars. The imperfect were still quite visible.
One thing I did like was that the mineral concealer did a great job in concealing the redness at the corner of my nose. In addition, I did like how light the concealer was and how well it blended in with you natural skin tone.
From my experience, Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer is not not my favourite concealer. If you just want to buy a concealer the cover up a little bit of redness then this product will do the job. However, for other thing like under eye darkness and acne mark it won't help in providing adequate coverage.

This stuff is amazing!! When I bought my Vaseline, Shopper Drug Mart had a sale on it ..so I bought it for next to nothing. I think a $1 something. It's usually very cheap anyways. I use it for my lips, under my eyes and any dry spots on my skin. It doesn't clog my pore. On the back of the Vaseline, it says it helps dry skin, removes eye make-up, soothing protection for minor burns, protects skin from wind burn and chapping and helps prevent diaper rash. This product cover almost everything!!~~ -

This place is packed with people. My friend and I went at about 6:00 ( which for me is early for dinner) and there were tons for people. Make sure you don't arrive too late for dinner here. So far I have to say it was the best food that I've had so far in Ottawa. The food was enjoyable. The Blue cactus is a great place for a good long conversation, there isn't any rush. -

Oregano is located in The Market area in Ottawa. The food was very over prices for little quality or quantity. Unfortunately, a friend who had the shrimp and paste found herself sick by the end of it. Usually, I love Italian and was disappointed that this restaurant did a such poor job. But a point in it's favor, the exterior and interior design for the restaurant is very interesting. However the service was good and the waitress was pleasant and attentive. Although, she did do something I found very odd. When we were paying our bill the waitress pulled out her wallet ( with bus ticket and ID in it ) at the table and put the money we pay in her wallet and gave us change from her wallet. I've never experience this before and I'm not sure if that is normal in Ottawa.
If you don't want to be disappointed by the food I would recommend you NOT go to Oregano.
I was disappointed that I didn't read the chick advisor warning about this restaurant before wasting money there.

Usually I'm more accustomed to using an eyeliner pencil so it took me a bit of practice to get use to the fluid liner. However the practice was well worth it. The fluid liner gives an extremely professional refined line. The sales representative at Mac gave me a good alternative tip to clean your mac brush by using shampoo and laying it flat on a tissue paper to dry. -
