I thought I’d wear a red with the new hair colour, and this seemed to match well. I wore it both on its own, and with a lipgloss on top. The formula is amazing, it feels so comfortable and smells faintly of candy.
The Pigmentation is great, and I had it last a good 5 hours without having to touch up. It can be a bit hard to get off pale skin, once it is time to clean up.
I ended up loving it so much, I went out and bought 3 more colours.
One of the best stand alone lipsticks I have bought in recent years. I am really surprised with this product.

This is a lipstick from the inhouse brand of Shoppers Drug Mart. I had a giftset given to me with some lipglosses years ago, and decided I’d like to try a few of the lipsticks. I picked up 3 different colours, but seem to wear this one the most currently. It feels really great on the lips, very moisturizing, and has a nice satin finish. They feel really nice when on your lips.
I’m not a fan of the scent, it is flowery and fruity, but it isn’t overpowering, and you can’t really smell it once on. The lipstick has really nice lasting power. Mine lasted a good 6 hours, barely rubbed off while eating. I do wear it with a lip balm underneath.
I love the package the most, and so does my daughter, hence why the tip is all busted. She wouldn’t stop playing with it, and squished it. It is a click to dispense type package.

I’ve worn this a few times now, and really like this shade specifically. It goes on easily, has great colour, and has a very light scent. It mixes well with lip toppers. The lasting power is great too, I think I went 4 hours with no issues, until I smeared it. I do wear a lip balm underneath, so maybe that is why I had better luck than the previous ladies.
I personally purchased mine at Dollar Tree, and have seen it at 3 separate locations. If you must order it, you can get it online at the official website. Just keep in mind, they don’t have a canadian site, so you will pay duty. It is currently only $0.40USD on the site, so it must be the left over price from the spring sale(as others in the line are still a loonie).

This is a lipgloss that has a really thick formula. I feel it works best as a topper on top of a budge-proof base. Either a lip paint, stain or liner.
It works really great if you want to apply cosmetic grade glitter on top of your lips, as something for it to adhere to, without the need of using a glitter glue.
If you want to play around, the price point is perfect.
As a stand alone daily gloss, I probably wouldn't pick this myself, I have others that perform better. It needs to be reapplied a lot.

This lipgloss has a lot of really fine glitter, as well as a slightly bigger sized glitter, in its formula. If you accidentally smudge it, it can get a bit tricky to clean up the fine glitter from your face. I accidentally did this myself. It didn’t dissuade me from using the product, I just became more aware, to try to prevent that.
It isn’t super tacky on the lips, and wears nicely on its own. It has a very light scent, that is almost like coffee, maybe latte.
The tube also seals tightly and fits nicely in jean pockets.

I have this in black and teddy. Been using the black for 6 months now, and it does exactly what I need it to do.
I use it in my outer eye corner to help make my eyes not seem so huge.
Glides on really easy and isn't a super stiff liner like some can be.
Last me a solid 4 hours before I have to touch up, if using directly on waterline.
I wouldn't use this at work during the day, if I wanted something super long lasting in one application, but is perfect for when I go out at night for a few hours.
The formula doesn't make my eyes more watery than usual(I am photosensitive, so my eyes always water). Get no running either.

This mascara gives my short, very blonde lashes just the right length, without getting all gross and clumpy.
The Waterproof version works perfectly, I have never had it run on me.
I am almost out of my last tube, and the product has been discontinued. Wish they had of kept a lengthening specific mascara in their lineup.
I would totally buy another few tubes, if they still had the product.

My sister gifted me one of these bottles when I had just hit my 20's. I tried it out back then, and fell in love. It is very gentle on the eyes, and you get no stinging when trying to get your product off.
It does have trouble every once in a while, at getting off really stubborn waterproof makeups, but it works well for most drugstore brand waterproof makeups.
You don't really need to use a lot, so a bottle will last a good while.
This makes the price worth it, since it works really well, and you don't bust right through the bottle.

Wet 'n Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain
I was super surprised at how pigmented this ended up. Had good lasting time when I tried it out. The colour was fun too! Bleeds a bit more than other balm stain sticks I have recently tried, but not too noticable.

The package takes forever to open, it is rather odd. I like the look of it though.
Once applied, I am not sure if you are meant to keep it looking like almost a lipgloss. I just blot it after 5 minutes so that my lips were stained. The stain power was great, lasted me a long time.
The Formula feels really weird going on, it gets really cold, and my lips tingled a bit. Wasn't expecting it, and can't say I enjoy it. This is simply because I don't know if it is the product, or a reaction, the tingly part. I didn't get a reaction of any sort while wearing it though, so I think the product just has some ingredients that caused the feeling, on purpose maybe. Just not personally use to that sort of thing.
