I received this as a free trial for input.
I have been a very strong supporter of batiste dry shampoo for forever! All others I had tried fall flat on comparison. This however was a welcomed partner in maintaining my silver ash-blonde hair.
As you can imagine I do not wash my hair daily due to the nature of my hair situation. I rely on dry shampoos to refresh and add life back to my deflated unwashed hair.
Dove dry shampoo did all it said it would. Refreshed my roots, added volume! It was great!
I would definitely buy this product in the future, specially if I am maintaining my lighter hair (it also helps hide it diminish root regrowth)

Softlips Cube Fresh Mint
I received this product free for trial Via Chick Advisor.
Little lip background on moi:
I have relatively normal lips I like to think. They do go through fazes of dryness though. I do regularly moisturize them so… there’s’ that to consider too.
I actually liked all the flavours of lip moisturizers I received but picked the Fresh Mint one as I do love a tingly mint balm. This however did not tingle as I had wanted but all in all was still a very luxurious product.
All Softlip products live up to their namesake and leave a lightweight creamy moisturizing barrier on the lips. The Cube shape is rather unique and was unexpected how it opened but was nice and compact.
This isn’t the first time I have used Softlips. I recall using the thin small little tubes all through high school for that kissable soft pout! Needless to say I was already a fan.
Lets focus on the product.
What it says it does:
o Hydrates – formulated with Shea Butter to restore moisture
o Replenishes – with antioxidant Vitamins A, C, & E
o Smoothes – rich emollients leave lips silky and soft
o Protects – with SPF 15 sunscreen
o Adds Shine – for a perfect radiant finish
I have to say I have never had sunburnt lips to know if it actually helped with that but SPF is always a good thing in my books. Aside from that; I would say it all lived up to its expectations.
Is it worth the price?
Its $5….. so yes!! LOL

I actually liked all the flavours of lip moisturizers I received but picked the coconut milk one for obvious reasons….. I LOVE coconut! You put coconut in anything and I’m all about that coconut life! It deff felt like a tropical creamy dream on my lips!

I'm gonna start off with saying I have yet to mix it with juice as I don't normally keep juice in the house; I'm a coffee, tea and water kinda gal!
The taste is not very pleasant. But it's not aweful either.... As a woman who has to take all kinds of supliments in liquid form I know what aweful tastes like lol.
If you have had the naturs bounty sublingual b12 supliment that claims it "tastes great" you know it's a lie and this is quite comparable to it in flavour. I just down it in one giant gulp and call it a day.
Does it work?
I am prone to bouts of lethargia; more so if I don't keep on top of my supliments. As a person who underwent a gastric bypass in 2007 I am forever malnurished. I found that these help keep me focused with sustainable energy to takle my day.
Would I purchase this?
If it was more available than online it would be likely.

I received these free as a trial for reveiw by chick advisor
These were delicious! And a nice power packed chocolate punch to get you through the mid day slump.
I found them comparable to cliff bars; witch I love!
I am not sure where i would find these for future purchasing though or the price... Let me research this. HOLD PLEASE.
So looks like they are $9.99 CAD and you can purchase them through their website.
Would I purchase them?
I don't think I would spend enough on their site to make the shipping worth it. If I could find these elsewhere like bulk barn or healthfood stores sure!

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
So I started a Skin Revolution on my face March 8th 2016.
Today is Mach 17th 2016, and I can already see a difference. Let me break it down for you.
Skin concerns:
1. GIAGANTOR Pot Hole Pores. (That’s top of my list)
2. Skin Texture (I have some weird texture up by my eyes/tops of cheeks)
3. Oily Combination Skin
4. Fine Lines and wrinkle prevention.
Plan of Daily Attack!
1. Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash
2. Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner
3. Paula’s Choice Skin Perfect 2% BHA liquid Exfoliate
4. DAY: Paula’s Choice Clear Ultra-Light Daily Mattifying Fluid SPF Moisturizer
5. NIGHT: Body Shop Nurtiganics Night Cream
6. Clay Mask 1-2/week: Sephora Brand Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying
Now I am by no means admitting that you can actually shrink your pores… this is a giant misconception. We need them, they do good things. However; mine are so large that they get clogged up easily thus making them appear larger.
Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner
I always thought tonners were a gimmick up-sell. That they really didn’t do much for your skin, or that people prone to acne needed them and not me. I found that in the past when I used them, it would dry out my skin and break me out. Even if I used sensitive skin ones, as I thought for the longest time I had sensitive skin. Not true. A GOOD tonner should not be alcohol based. That will make anyone’s skin sensitive; thus breaking you out cause you are drying up any moisture in your face causing your skin to produce more oil thus creating a never ending cycle of breakouts and dry/oily skin.
I thought I would give this one a go. I feel that it is probably why I didn’t break out during reformatting my skin regime. Good tonners repair damage to the skin and help restore skins natural PH so it doesn’t go in hyperactive mode to produce what it’s lacking (AKA Oil). No matter how gentle a face wash is; when you wash away your skins natural moisture it needs to repair itself. Tonners help do the work for you, and you get to have clear nice skin as a side effect… sounds like a win win in my books!

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfect 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliate
The BHA in this helps to unclog my pores and help make them appear smaller and it has helped with skin texture. I can safely say my face is well on its way to being baby soft. There is still some slight texture where my problem areas are, but let’s be real here, there has been an improvement already in a week.
People say it is greasy, I didn’t really find it this way. Truthfully, I find it relating closer to a serum in how it applies (with a cotton pad) and is quickly absorbed. It is no different from most moisturizers really.
I originally started using it every other day, to introduce it to my skin slowly; but now I use it daily at night as part of my evening skincare regime.
I personally have had no adverse side effects, my skin hasn’t really broken out aside from one measly pimple (Pimplina I called her, she’s on her way out; I kicked that bitch to the curb SEE YA!!)
I am excited to see how the prolonged use of this aids my skin.

I have the most watery ass holiest eyes of them all!
That's a bold statement. And I meant it as such.
Here is yet another reason to love the brand NYX. Not only do they make affordable makeup, it's quality is beyond its price point.
Let me demonstrate with this white retractable liner.
Place this in your water line and tell me that you don't instantly fall in love!
First off it applies opaque right off the hop! Secondly it LASTS ALL DAMN DAY!! no lie! I can only put on liners in my water line for like an hour tops and then they just fade away into the abyss that is my teary eyes.
This stays put for I would say peaks at 6 hours.
I have yet to try the other colours in this line but am eager to based on the performance of this one.
Seriously pick up this white liner to make your eyes appear brighter and cause it works as it should!

I received the shade "Committed" in my Ipsy Glam bag one month and have been LIVING in it ever since!!!
Every time I hit up a Rexal I am searching for their liquid lippies to pick it up. I am not sure if they have crossed over to Canada yet.... but when they do....
No lie, I WILL own this!!
The shade (Committed) is perfect! its a nice pink/salmon nude it's literally the perfect shade of nude for my lips and face. It has a lovely formula that has a minty taste with a slight un-intrusive tingle.
IT LASTS long and doesn't flake off. Doesn't feel drying on the lips.
Honestly I love this formula and shade and taste and smell... I just love everything about this liquid lipstick and NEED it in my life ASAP as my little mini has run its course.
