I've been loyal to my Nyx micro brow pencil for the past year, but I thought I'd give this one a try because it was on sale at Shoppers a couple weeks ago. It seemed like a good deal, considering it comes with a pencil, powder, and brow mascara all in one. Unfortunately, none of those elements is very good. The pencil part is my favourite; it's like the micro brow, but thicker, so you can't get the precise strokes that the other product gives you. The powder...I just don't understand. You open it and chalky powder flies up everywhere, and you try putting it on your brows but dust just falls on your face. Totally useless. The mascara is terrible, too. It's a darker shade than the pencil and powder, so it doesn't give you a natural look, and the wand is small so you can't get the right angle. I also don't like the shape of the bristles; it holds onto too much liquid so you end up applying too much of it on your brows. Just skip this one. -

Thankfully, I got this for free last year at Sephora for my birthday gift. Although it's a mini, my birthday is in July and I still have lots of product left. I adore the colour. It pairs perfectly with the matching liner (glace) and looks lovely on any skin tone. The scent is amazing, too! I really appreciate that Bite uses all food-grade ingredients in their products, so you know that what you're putting on your lips is completely safe. I just can't justify ever spending $30 on one lipstick, so I would be purchasing it for myself when I run out of my mini. -

I received a mini of this product as a free birthday gift from Sephora last year. It's a really universally flattering colour that can pair with pretty much any lipstick and skin tone. I love how smoothly it glides on my lips and how comfortable it feels (glossy, yet not sticky at all). The lemon scent is also very appealing. I don't think I would splurge and buy one of these with my onw money, because I'm fine with purchasing cheaper lip liners from Wet n Wild, but if this ever pops up as a 100 point perk, I'll definitely snatch it up. -

These pads are perfect for your light to medium flow days. They are thin, so they're super comfortable, but they will not be suitable if you are bleeding a lot. I like that they have wings so that they stay in place and blood can't leak out the sides of the pad. -

I've been buying Always products ever since I was 12 and started getting my period. This product from them is the BEST for overnight use. They are extra long, so you are less likely to leak through the front or back of your underwear while you sleep. It's pretty thin, too, so it's not uncomfortable to wear all night. If you have problems leaking during the night, give these a try; they're the only ones I trust to keep my sheets blood-free!! -

This is my go-to eyebrow product. I've been purchasing it for over a year now! I have medium-brown hair and I buy the shade "taupe," which matches my brows perfectly. I think it's fairly priced, ranging from $11-13. I really like that it includes a little spoolie on the other end, so that you can blend out your strokes and it looks more natural. The small size of the pencil is perfect for making hair-like strokes. If you usually buy the ABH brow wiz, give this one a try instead; you'll save quite a bit of money and get the exact same results!! -
KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Liner

$25 for a subpar eyeliner is thievery! I bought this when a found a mini of it at Winners, after hearing that it is a holy grail product for many people. I really didn't like using it. It has a nice, pointed tip, so you can get a pretty sharp wing. However, the liquid is so watery and you can't get a clean line! I found myself going over it multiple times in order for it to become opaque. Skip this one and get the Nyx epic ink liner instead. -
Halo Top Birthday Cake

I am vegan, so I buy the version that uses cocount milk rather than cow's milk. I'm really into fitness and healthy eating, but I still get cravings for junk food every so often. Although I haven't had real ice cream in about three years, I find that this is close enough for me. It doesn't taste like real ice cream, but it has a nice flavour and consistency nonetheless. And you can't beat those nutrition facts; you can devour a whole pint without feeling guilty about it! -
Buxom Full-On Lip Polish
I bought the shade "Dolly" in a mini at TJ Maxx. It's super gorgeous and shiny! I love the subtle pink tint and the micro-glitters. It really does plump your lips!! It has a refreshing minty scent, but you can't smell it once it's on your lips... +
I bought the shade "Dolly" in a mini at TJ Maxx. It's super gorgeous and shiny! I love the subtle pink tint and the micro-glitters. It really does plump your lips!! It has a refreshing minty scent, but you can't smell it once it's on your lips. Although I love the look of it, it's not comfortable to wear. It's pretty sticky and the plumping effect is not super comfortable. That being said, it's pretty enough that I don't mind going through the pain! :) -
Physician's formula the healthy lip liquid lipstick
I bought Fight Free Red-icals in clearance at a Walmart in the US for around $3 (score!), but it's normally around $14 in Canada. I would not pay that much for it; that's reaching high-end pricing. It's a nice lipstick, though. The packaging is... +
I bought Fight Free Red-icals in clearance at a Walmart in the US for around $3 (score!), but it's normally around $14 in Canada. I would not pay that much for it; that's reaching high-end pricing. It's a nice lipstick, though. The packaging is pretty and the wand is shaped in such a way that it is easy to get a clean line on your cupid's bow. The colour I chose is a stunning, blue-toned red that is perfect for the holidays. I also like the soft matte finish. Just be aware that it does not completely dry down, so there will be transfer if you drink or eat while wearing it. -
