I was very excited to try out the Amope Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File. I usually go to the salon for pedicures but am getting married this summer, so have been doing them at home myself. This really stepped up my at-home pedicure and my feet feel soft and look great in sandals!
I also had my partner try this out. He works on the water and his feet could use some pampering. He absolutely LOVED having this done to him and it's made such a difference in how his feet look and feel.

I use sunscreen year round as I am very fair and get a sunburn very easily. I used this sunscreen on my face, neck, shoulders and chest area. I found that it was a bit too heavy for my face and I broke out on my chin and forehead, but it was great for the other sensitive skin areas. I liked that it wasn't too greasy and absorbed into my skin quickly.
I also had my partner try out the sunscreen and it was perfect for his face, ears and neck. He did not have any break outs and has been using it every day to keep his face from getting a sunburn.

I was really excited to have a project to do around the house, one that I could tackle without the use of power tools. Unfortunately my Schlage Camelot Door Lever does not fit on any of the inside doors in our house. I will have to get another door or have someone come to make the holes bigger.
It is a gorgeous lever thought!

I'm not a regular user of Dry Shampoo and was excited to try it out. I have pretty fine hair but there is a lot of it and it's platinum blonde, so I generally go a few days without shampooing. The Batiste Dry Shampoo worked ok for me. It was easy to use and had a great smell, but I found that it worked well when I had freshly dyed hair and when my roots started to grow in, it didn't work as well on the natural/new hair growth. -

I have been dying to try the Clarisonic Mia 2 and was very excited to test it out. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical that I could really use a brush to clean the sensitive skin on my face every day, but luckily I was proven wrong.
I have now been using the Clarisonic Mia 2 for almost a month and it is an amazing product. My skin feels clean but not tight and it is very soft. The gel cleanser was not too drying or irritating and my face did not break out upon using it. I've also used it with my regular cleanser from Pure Simple and it works just as well. The timer is also an added bonus because it lets you know when to move on to a different part of your face AND it only takes a minute from start to finish!
I love that it is small, cordless and compact. The magnetic charger is a great that means the Mia 2 is actually waterproof, so taking it in the shower is not a problem. It comes with a handy little cover to keep the bristles soft and clean and it comes with a travel case, so bringing it on vacation is easy.
The price point is a little out of my budget, but I do like to splurge on skincare so it is worth saving up for. I highly recommend you consider adding the Clarisonic Mia 2 to your routine.

I LOVE the GOSH Giant Blush in 002! This was my #2 favourite product that I was sent to review. The colour was super natural looking for my skin tone and I it goes on creamy and is super easy to blend. It works for contouring as well and I found the fat crayon shape really easy to use as well.
The blush did not make my skin break out which was another big plus. It is now part of my makeup bag and replaced my other blushes.

I received the GOSH Mineral Powder in 004 Natural to review. I've never tried a mineral powder before and to be honest, I don't wear much makeup on my face, because I have sensitive skin.
Pros: It made my skin look flawless and evened out the redness on my nose.
Cons: I used the mineral powder on day 1 of wearing the makeup and on day 2 I woke up with 3 pimples.
Overall it works well and looks great but was not the best product for my sensitive skin. I will save this for when I'm going all out and putting on my face, but it won't make it into my daily routine.

I was sent the GOSH Double Precision Mascara to review and it too has found it's way into my daily routine. I use the #1 brush (Precision for lower lashes) as my base coat on both the upper and lower lashes and then the #2 brush (Volume for upper lashes) as my second and sometimes third coat.
The #1 brush is small and on an angle which really gets the smaller lashes on the outside corner of your eyes. It also doesn't clump the mascara on and with only one coat it gives your lashes a natural look.
I like to have darker and thicker upper lashes so most days I use the #2 brush as a second coat. Depending on the look you're going for, you can use it on your lower lashes as well.

I was super excited to try out GOSH products and the Lip Lacquer in 006 Funky Lips has been my go-to for the past 2 weeks.
It's a glossy reddish pink and goes on slick but not sticky. It lasts fairly long and wears down to a matte stain after a few hours. I was also surprised at the amount of colour that stuck on my lips after having my morning tea.
The glass bottle is sturdy and it made it easier to find in my huge purse. The applicator is a standard foam wand and it works to line your lips as well as fill them in.

This is the first time that Harley & I have tried an Arm & Hammer kitty litter. I usually buy the cheap, No Name clumping litter from the supermarket.
In a small, 1 bd apartment with a dog, cat & husband there isn't much space for kitty litter and our main issue is the smell. I was very happy to find that the Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal actually kept our house from smelling like cat over the long weekend. It was easy to scoop and really did seal in the odour. It was not as smelly when I cleaned the litter box as well and it seemed to be less dusty then our regular brand.
The price is a little out of my budget - but I would definitely buy this again when we have an extended period of absence where the litter box doesn't get cleaned out every day.
