I love the gel consistency of the serum. There is a mild floral scent that fades away fairly quickly as you apply it As it absorbs into the skin it leaves it feeling smooth and super soft. Unlike some other serums I have tried it didn't leave me feeling sticky at all.
It absolutely carried through with it's promised benefits, leaving my skin with a more even tone as well as helping minimize my pores. It's paraben-free which is always awesome and is hypoallergenic which is always a concern for me. It also seems to be lasting forever, requiring very little product to do the job. I absolutely love it!
I 100% would recommend this Serum to friends and family and have in fact done so already. I received this product as well as the skin sleep for review purposes from Chick Advisor/ Vichy Laboratories and will be looking into purchasing them when I run out of them.
Overall I give the Vichy Idealia Life Serum a total rating of 4/5

J Cat Beauty - The Big lip pencil in BLP203 Red Rose
I got it through IPSY but you can also buy it on the J CAT website
Sells for $3.99 on their website
Packaging
I love the colour, such a nice rich red. The pencil is very cute, though the beige part at the top gets dirty super quick and is super hard to clean so it looks dirty really quick.
Performance
It took a little getting used to to apply but I don't use lip pecils very often for just that reason, I like a sharp edge to work with. It went on very smoothly and dried quickly to a matte finish which was a pleasant surprise given how glossy the actual pencil is. I did find is slightly drying but that could easily be fixed by applying a moisturizing balm under it. Definately doesn't hold up to a kiss test nor a drink test, so you'll definately want to set it or seal it.
Overall
I like the colour and the finish, the packaging is cute, but I didn't like the staying power or the application so I'm gonna give it a 7/10, It would have been an 8 if it weren't drying.
Buy again?
I probably won't purchase it when I run out, but it is a nice red to have in my collection.

I bought this product because it was recommended to me by an associate and it was the last of this that they had in the store. It’s a one-step facial cleanser.
Purchased at Sephora
I paid $12 for the bottle during the Black Friday sale
Packaging: I love the bottle this came in, I mean its just a standard bottle but I love the text on it, and the fact that its just a really clean solid design. Also this purity, smells AMAZING! I don’t even know how to describe the smell.
Performance: OMG I am in love with this cleanser. I started using it in the morning when I wake up and then again before I go to bed, and in the week or so I’ve been using it my skin has gotten softer and clearer. I’ve been sick off and on with the most stupid viral infection and it’s been making me break out and Purity took care of it right away.
It also removes makeup so easily, I only use 3 smallish drops on my fingertips for my whole face when I wash it, and this was enough to remove a full face of makeup no problem. Didn’t get rid of my mascara as easily but that’s in part because I am very hesitant to rub product in around my eyes.
Buy again?
Absolutely I will be buying another bottle once this one eventually runs out. Hopefully I can find it on sale because it’s normally around $40CAD for the size I got. ^.^
Overall: 10/10 love it.

It is a very soft pencil that swatched well on my hand but does not apply very well to my water line which is my primary use for pencils. I'll keep it and use it when I'm not looking for a dark waterline but I probably won't buy it when it's done. It just didn't hold up when compared to cheaper alternatives. It also ran pretty quickly when exposed to heat or excess water. It's definitely a backup liner for me. -

Cost: $12-29 at Sephora
So I got this in my birthday gift from Sephora and let me just say that when I run out of the sample size I will be purchasing a tube of it. The brush is perfect and the formula sits on my lashes beautifully. From my use of it, it seems really long lasting and it held up pretty well against the rain despite not saying anything about being waterproof. It legitimately makes me look like I am wearing fake lashes. 9/10 (down that one point because the end of the brush can get pretty goopy if you aren't careful.)
100% buying again (for the first time)

I won this in a wheel spinny thing, but it is normally around $8. The colour is really rich and it doesn't feel too drying and it passes both the kissing test and a hot and cold drink test which is awesome. Actually the only negative part about it was the next morning when I have to use a lip scrub to get the remainder of it off. The clear gloss end is super moisturizing and gives it some nice shine. The applicator for the colour is shaped really nicely and once you get used to it, it is really nice for application.
Overall I would say that it's a really solid product and when I run out I will definitely be buying again, especially in this colour.
9/10 will buy again (for the first time?)
