Favourite eyeshadow of all time. I love these little things. They come in so many awesome colours, are very pigmented, and stay on a long time. The packaging is cute, and it's easy to tell what the colours are. The powder has a very nice texture, and they blend like a dream. My favourite colour is Filigree (a shimmery gold), and I always get compliments on it. I have about 10 other individual colour pods right now, and tons of the little quad packs you get in the Gift With Purchase. They're very high quality and last a long time (a little goes a long way). Highly recommend! -

Great makeup remover. I've been using this remover faithfully for years, mainly because I'm a big Lancome fan and always end up with a few Gift With Purchase's a year, and Lancome is great because you can choose what you want in the bag. I usually ask for a few bottles of this (and they're a decent size, great for travelling as well) and they last be throughout the year. I've never actually had to purchase a full bottle, but I believe they're around $20. This formula is a little oily, but if you have a dry eye area like me, your skin will thank you for it. It takes off waterproof and difficult makeup in no time, and doesn't irritate the skin. Any residue is absorbed nicely (on my skin anyway) and there's no redness. -
Lancôme Paris Juicy Tubes

These are really high-shine lip glosses. I have several colours, my favourite being Simmer (peachy gold). They have a thicker gel texture, but aren't sticky. They are very long-lasting in terms of colour and shine, and they don't dry my lips out. They're a tad expensive, so if you're the type of person to lose glosses or get bored easily this is probably a poor investment. But if you are looking for one really good lip gloss, this one is worth trying. -

I'm very disappointed in this hair colour. After carefully going over every colour in the aisle, I chose #66 Very Rich Auburn in hopes of going from my natural light brown to a red that was deep enough to be natural, yet still be obviously red. The product itself is easy to assemble and apply, and is the same messiness as any other liquid hair dye. I dye my hair often myself so I can do it fairly quickly with little mess. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't stain my sink, but that should have been a warning sign of the quality of the dye. I have pretty light brown hair, and afterwards only the roots seemed red, and an orangey-red at that. The ends of my hair are a slightly darker brown now, with a tiny of red. After two washes the colour is almost all gone! The bottle of dye is fairly large, I bought two boxes thinking I'd need both for my chest-length hair but only ended up needing one, which was nice. I have since returned the second box though, because for $12 it definitely wasn't worth it. The only good thing about this is that I got a three part sample of L'Oreal shampoo, conditioner and hair mask in the box, and the deep conditioning treatment is really nice. The hair dye also didn't dry out my hair at all, which is a bonus. Maybe I just picked an unfortunate shade, but for me the colour just didn't deliver for the price. Won't be purchasing this dye again. -

This is an awesome lip balm! It's super cute and really high quality. I have it in Chunky Cherry, which is nice and vibrant without being too over the top. It's very pigmented and gives a nice even colour that doesn't run. I also love how moisturizing it is. It's the best of a lipstick and a balm combined, and it's easy to apply on the go. -

I'll admit, I only bought this perfume for the bottle. I am a total cat lady, and how could I not have that adorable purple kitty sitting in my perfume collection? However, after buying just for looks, I am really impressed by the scent itself. It's a little sweeter and on the girly side, but as someone who likes a lot of sweeter perfumes (think Juicy) this works perfect for me. It's not overwhelming, and starts off with a sweet fruity scent of peaches and apples, then turns into subtle green bamboo and jasmine, and lingers coconut and vanilla throughout the day. A little goes a long way when you spray it on, I am really impressed how long the scent lasts. At the end of the day I can still smell it on my wrists. I got the large bottle so I probably won't be purchasing this again anytime soon, but that bottle will stay on my shelf for a very long time! -

These are awesome lip stains! They last a really long time, go on very easily and don't run or smudge, and they nourish lips and don't dry them out. I have 3 so far (Lovesick, Honey, Darling) and I adore them all. The colours are vibrant and unique. I really love the sensation these have on my lips...kind of cooling and tingling, and very soft. The crayon packaging is adorable, and they're the perfect size. Would definitely recommend these to anyone! -

Awful lip balm. I was SO disappointed with this one! I've tried several Burt's Bees lip balms before, and this one is by far the worst. It claims to be extra conditioning, but I honestly think it's actively drying. It's lovely for the first few minutes after application, then it's like it starts to leach all the moisture out of your lips! The smell isn't that great to warrant keeping this product, I threw mine away after a day. Don't waste your money. -
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
Classic lip balm that everyone should try at least once. This is a really good quality product - it makes lips really soft, and has a nice cooling sensation. It smells great and lasts a long time. I also love the yellow!

One of my favourite lip balms ever! These things are great. My favourite flavour is the Classic 'Quenched" one, it smells so nice, is clear, and makes my lips super shiny. You don't need to reapply often, and it heals while making your lips look nice and feel soft. I like the packaging, it's kind of zany but cute colours, and the stick is easy to carry around. I also have this in Peppermint, Peach, and Pink Punch. The pink punch is a little too neon for my liking so I don't use it often, but the other colours are amazing and the flavours are all delicious! -
