Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Clear
While it's fairly pricey, a little bit goes a long way with this primer! It gives you an incredible smooth finish and helps your makeup last all day. I pair this with my UD setting spray and my makeup doesn't budge!!

I'm an avid sunscreen users - particularly of SPF 50+ so this was a great find! I absolutely love how it's not greasy and absorbs so quickly and easily. I have darker skin, and it didn't leave any sort of white cast like other products sometimes do.
Highly recommend. If they some how were able to get this formula into a spray I'd be VERY happy :) That's my preferred method because of how easy it is - but I don't like how greasy they can be. Only downside is the scent... it still makes you smell like sunscreen.

This moisturizer is quite light and definitely very gel like. I prefer things that are a bit more thick and creamy and leave my skin feeling super hydrated - this product just didn't hit that mark for me. However, it still felt nice and I think at the price point is a great product! If I was looking for something a little more sheer and light I'd go for this. Other bonuses were that it has no smell and soaks in quickly so it's easy to apply make up on top of after! I rated quality bit lower because looking at the ingredient list I wasn't very impressed, again however, at that price point I wouldn't expect much more. -
Neutrogena All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes

Solid staple in my bathroom for makeup removing. So easy and actually does a great job. Also PERFECT for traveling!
I don't like how it leaves my skin feeling if I use them alone - but if I use them and then use my face cleanser it's a great pair for nights when I have a lot of make up to take off. I rated the quality lower because it does it's job, but feels a bit harsh.
It's great for removing most make up - sometimes a little trickier for that stubborn waterproof mascara, setting powders etc. which is why I said it didn't remove 99% of my make up - more like 90%.

CND CREATIVE PLAY Nail Lacquer

The colour was cute and true to the bottle. Nice and bright when applied and went on smoothly. I did like the brush, it was easy to apply and wasn't streaky. Overall though it's still pretty average - comparable to all the rest of the Essie's and OPIs I have in my collection. Nothing about it really stood out to me in terms of having an advantage over any of the others. -

I was actually quite impressed with this base coat! I've used quite a few others and sometimes I found them a bit too sticky and gloopy, but this one was perfect! It did a great job of smoothing and holding that polish on. The real test was when I used it under some of my cheaper polishes that usually go on a bit streaky. This base coat helped immensely, I was pretty surprised! -
CND CREATIVE PLAY Top Coat
So far has worked as well as most top coats I've used. Applies nicely and dries pretty quickly. Nice high shine finish too! I tried it with both their polish and some of my own and it worked well for both. Haven't put it through anything too tough... +
So far has worked as well as most top coats I've used. Applies nicely and dries pretty quickly. Nice high shine finish too! I tried it with both their polish and some of my own and it worked well for both. Haven't put it through anything too tough yet, but it's comparable to most of the others on the market I'd say. -

I've had a hard time finding a preworkout that really works well for me because some have creatine which I don't want right now, and others make me feel a little too jacked up! This product has been the perfect happy medium for me. I love how they have different suggested amounts too, so I can easily tailor it to how I'm feeling that day. I've tried both the Cherry Limeade and Blue Raz and they're both fantastic!! I got a really good buy one get one deal, but I'd probably still buy them at full price. -

I included this in my vanilla protein review so I'll put it here too: Let me start this off with saying that I have tried MANY protein shakes and powders, and have a shake once a day. I had the vanilla first and was very impressed with the flavour and texture. I found the chocolate to have the same easy to drink texture, but the flavour wasn't quite there for me. It was drinkable and still decent, but kind of like watered down chocolate milk. Pretty much comparable to when I mix my chocolate whey protein powder with water, which was a little disappointing because I was expecting a bit more from this one being prepackaged and more expensive.
The macros are good and it's nice that it's portable because then if I'm in a hurry I don't have to worry about washing my shaker bottle out - I can just toss this container away. However, most of the time after my workouts I come home afterwards, so considering these are around 3x more expensive per serving as my regular protein powder, I don't think I'd make the switch. But I would definitely keep some of the vanilla on hand for days when I really need that quick on-the-go shake, but I think I'd probably pass on the chocolate for personal taste. However, I was thinking if I dropped some instant coffee into the container and gave it a shake, that might be delicious!
