Using this mask overnight really helps me get rid of shrink my breakouts and get rid of redness. The sulphur smell is noticeable so I wouldn't use it as a spot treatment under my makeup even though the packaging recommended it. Usually I just leave it on at night and wash off in the morning. The mask is easily spreadable over the skin, so application is quite easy. Also, it doesn't leave my face feeling tight once it dries!
The only downside for me is that the pump that dispenses the product gets blocked when the mask dries in the opening- so when I press a little harder to try to dislodge it... mask sometimes explodes out.

I use this palette almost everyday because it has a range of both daytime and nighttime shades. I find that by the end of a long day, the shadows do look a little bit tired and faded on my lids- but since I just use it to make myself look decent for school, I'm not complaining! I also like the way the eyeshadows blend, it's quite easy to control.
The brush that it comes with has a more fluffy side and a flatter side. The flatter side is really good when used to apply the sparkly colours. I like the sleek look and feel to this palette. It feels nice and sturdy to the touch!
Overall this palette is versatile and enough to create classic day and night looks.

I absolutely love the smell and texture of this hair treatment- it makes my hair shine so healthily and naturally! After just a couple uses my boyfriend actually commented on how nice and shiny my hair looked. I'm chinese, so I have thick hair, making it hard for my to find hair products that keep my heavy hair feeling light and non-greasy. Morrocan oil definitely does the trick.
In Canada, this product costs $40 so it is pricey in my opinion. However, I think it makes a wonderful staple to my hair care routine, therefore I will probably repurchase when I run out.

Before I go into details, you should know that I don't think this product is super amazing. It's normal. I decided to purchase some drugstore makeup after reading some review, and browsing around. I heard that The Colossal mascara was similar to Lash Blast, which has great ratings. This product isn't expensive at all in my opinion, it cost me $8.99 at my London Drugs. The tube is bold and bright yellow. I don't care too much for packaging as long as it's not an epic failure. I bought this in the normal brown color, even though I have black lashes. As I opened the tube, I saw that the brush was large, similar to the size of my Benefit BadGal Plum mascara. I'm used to this size, but if you are bad with big brushes, you may need to be more careful during application. This mascara -does- have a rose scent, which doesn't bother me too much because it's not very strong. On the packaging it claims to be able to make lashes x9 thicker, but that's not the case. It's just like any other ordinary mascara, about twice as thick, maybe a little more depending on how many coats you apply. This color that I chose (brown) really brings out my dark eyes which are also brown. It holds a nice curl, despite it's ordinary thickening talents. **It does not smudge at all, nor does it flake.** It's a decent mascara. You should give it a shot because it may work wonders for you. I would try other types of mascara instead of repurchasing because there isn't anything too significant about this one. -

Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick is amazing. I've been looking for a cure to my forehead acne for ages. I was at my local drug store when I saw the last one of the shelf. I didn't know if it worked so I didn't buy it. I went home to search up some reviews and they were mostly positive. I went back to the store to pick it up, and someone had already bought it. A little while after, I went to the States to do some shopping, I stopped by target and saw some Burt's Bees products for sale. They had this stuff so I quickly bought one. I used it 3 times a day and it does sting a bit if you pop your pimples and stuff because your skin is raw.
Anyways, it works WONDERS. It smells a bit funny and herbal, but you'll get used to it. Use it as often as you want. The more frequently, the better. I'm sooo glad I discovered this product because it's saved my life!

This is the best mascara that I have ever used. It has a fantastic formula and a fantastic brush!
Although the tube isn't very fancy, you won't care because this mascara is amazing. It gets every lash with the curvy brush (even the tiny ones in the corner of your eyes!), and the dense bristles make clumping impossible. It holds a curl very well, and gives me length and volume. It does not smudge-- which is great! I don't have to go to the washroom to check on my mascara. It isn't very difficult to remove, which is definitely a plus.
I purchased this for around $25 CAN at Sephora, and I'm glad I did! It's a must-have for every girl!

This 5-bladed razor is amazing. When I first held the package and looked at the razor from outside, the blue moisturizing strip surrounding the razor head seemed like just an appealing decoration, and the grip looked rock hard, but when I actually opened the prouduct I realized that I was wrong...I see that the razor simply sat on the shower pod. Easy to lift the razor up from it's seat, and simple to place back.
The grip was NOT rock hard, in fact, it was pretty fun to hold and squish the flexible grips on the handle. The colors were very summery and it just makes you feel good. The razor head can be removed easily by pushing a small button-- it just pops out!
When I actually used Embrace, despite reviews mentioning the razor head being so large it became awkward to use, it isn't true. The size is perfect and when used with any amount of shaving foam, glides incredibly smoothly thanks to the thick moisturizing strips, while removing every single hair. What can I say? Venus Embrace is THE PERFECT RAZOR.

Let's start with the packaging. The bottle with it's contents is 140g total, and the can itself has a brushed metal texture to it. It isn't very large or heavy, it is about the size of the case for your glasses.
Now to the part where I actually used the prouduct. The translucent cap comes off easily with a small pull. I sprayed the sunscreen easily on my arm and when it hit the skin, it -did- feel cool and the feeling lasted for a few seconds, enough to cool a person off on a warm day. When I tried to rub the sunscreen into my skin, I realized that it had already melted into my arm. I was impressed.
One thing that I did not like so much about this sunscreen spray was it's strong smell. The scent is almost like a deodorant smell. Very strong, and can be unpleasant for some. BUT- the good news here is that the smell fades in a couple of minutes.
From the back of the bottle it says that this prouduct is: Refreshing, Non Greasy, Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection, Waterproof, and Sweatproof.
This is a great afforable prouduct and I enjoy using it.
