This mascara seems to inspire really mixed reviews, but I have to say that I really like it.
This gives my eyelashes good length and great volume. I think that it gets better as it dries out a little bit because I definitely like mine more now than I did when I first bought it.
It comes off easily (unlike a lot of expensive mascaras) and it doesn't smudge at all - I wear the regular, non-waterproof, version.

I've been looking for a new foundation recently and I got this one from Shoppers a few days ago. I've worn it for about a week and I really don't like it.
There is a rosy type smell that I thought I could get past but as it does cover your entire face I'm finding that the smell lingers and is present throughout the day. The foundation comes on sticky and tacky and it stays that way for a good portion of the day.
There is also something about this foundation that turns slightly pink on my skin and as a person with a more olive or neutral toned skintone - I really don't like this.
Finally, it is definitely one of those foundations that makes it look like you're wearing foundation.. and that wasn't the look I was going for. Someone who likes a heavier coverage foundation might like this if they find the right shade.

I received a travel size of this Dry Shampoo to test for Chick Advisor and I've been keeping it in my gym bag ever since. The size is perfect for that.
This is a great dry shampoo. It does spray on really white and dusty - however if you leave it on for 20 mins or so.. while you do your makeup or finish your hair, and then brush it out and massage it into your roots, the white cast will disappear and the dry shampoo will absorb the oil out of your hair and will leave it looking clean and bouncy.
It is the best dry shampoo at the drug store for sure. The scent is also very neutral and pleasant which is something a lot of the other dry shampoos tend to struggle with.

This e.l.f. studio contour palate is talked about for being a dupe for the NARS contour kit. It comes in a few shades and is made up of a bronzy/brown contour powder and a matching blush.
The contour powder is ok. I have olive skin and it seems to work alright, although I am not the most experienced contour-ista. The blush isn't nearly as pigmented. The colour I have is nice but it doesn't show up well on my face. It is too shimmery and is just not great quality.
For $4 (at Target) I have no regrets and will probably continue using the contour side.

I got this eyeshadow stick a month ago and I've been using it constantly.
The colour is more brown than it is bronze and it is gorgeous. I usually put it over my eyelid and then smudge it out with a brush. The colour lasts pretty much all day and it doesn't crease on me, without a primer even.
It's great value and a great colour.

The colour of this lip lacquer is beautiful and the texture is nice.
It is like a stain with the creaminess of a balm. I liked that and I found it easy to apply.
It isn't too drying and the colour holds up well. This is my first foray into lip laquers and I am pleased with how it worked out.

Initially I was very excited about this creamy stick eye-shadow because I thought the colour was beautiful upon first swatch. After wearing it a few times I changed my tune and I am now very disappointed with it. It is easily the weakest product out of all of the Gosh testers I received.
The eye-shadow is creamy and it is full of glitter. A lot of glitter. After applying it - it looks smokey and pretty but the colour fades quickly and then it leaves a mess of glitter on your eyelids.
The glitter travels down to your under eye.. and basically ends up all over your face (and hands).
I wore this to an event and really regretted it because it smudged like crazy and I thought the glitter was way too much.

I've been testing this powder every day since I got it and I have grown to like it. There are definitely some pros and cons, although it is a good product.
Con -
The biggest con is the packaging. The packaging does not do a good job of containing the fine powder. I realize most loose powders are messy - as is their nature, however this one is messier. The stopper doesn't do much to keep the powder down and each time I use it I get a fine white powder all over my bathroom.
Pro -
I really like this powder for setting my under eye concealer. It doesn't crease because its so fine and it does make my concealer last all day.
I've also been using this on my T-Zone to control any oil.
I also use this as a primer around my nose and cheeks and it does make the areas look smoother.

I really like this mascara and I've been using it everyday since receiving it with the GOSH testing bag. It is my favourite Gosh item that I've been testing.
This mascara is called "Crazy Volume" and while I can't say how 'crazy' the volume is - I will say that it is one of the most volumizing mascara's I've used. It has a nice dark black colour, the consistency is on the liquidy side although it hasn't smudged.
I've worn this mascara all day at work and after work. I even wore it to a sweaty rock festival and it didn't budge at all.
It comes off with regular cleanser, or oil based makeup remover. I love the way this makes my eyelashes look and I would definitely buy it again.

This is a really good medium-light hold hairspray. It is a waterless based hairspray with UV protectors, and it is sulfate, paraben, and DEA free.
I like this because it gives the perfect amount of hold without being too stiff. But, to be perfectly honest, the best part of this hairspray is the smell. If I could buy perfumes and scented candles that smell like this, I would. I want my whole life to smell like this hairspray!
