I received a FPC for a medium sized Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver.
I love how this kept my veggies fresh for longer, no wilting or browning even after a week!
While I love it, the medium size was really too small to hold any substantial amount of veggies.
I would definitely purchase this again on my own and would definitely get a larger size.

I guess you can call the Caudalie Grape Water a toner, but it's more like a moisturizer toner.
I use it after I wash my face and before I put on my serum.
It is a spray can. With the name Grape Water, you guessed it, it smells like grapes. I love fruity smells so I love this too. I spray this on generously after my wash and instantly feel refreshed right after. So much so, that I want to spray again because putting my serum on.
My sister who is really into organic face products told me that this is pretty much organic so there you have it. Smells great, works great and it's organic!
At $19 for 200mL, I drive down to the States to get it because I cannot find it in Canadian stores anymore. Yes, it's that wonderful. You bet I would buy it again! I'd drive 2 hours to stock up on it too!

I love Dior Shadows and have a couple of the 5 - Colour Eye Shadow Quads. When I saw ads for the new fall colours of 2014 I knew I had to get a couple. This review is for the 876 - Trafalgar.
I don't have any shades like this quad. The whole set is basically metallic, shimmery. There's a gold, a deep red, a shimmery pink, ivory-pearly colour for the highlight and a deep brown colour.
The shadow itself goes on very smooth and I find Dior shadows are very pigmented and last for me, for the entire day. What attracted me to the set was the red and the gold. These two shades are absolutely gorgeous! I wasn't sure how to apply them at first and had to consult the makeup goddesses (aka friends) in my life. We tested it out a few different ways, it was beautiful any way we used it. I think the colours are just so rich, they totally made my eyes pop. This really is a perfect palette for fall.
At $63 CDN for the Quad, I'd definitely buy it again and have already recommended it to some of my friends.

I actually received the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner as a free product for review when it first came out, so it was nice to try out.
I love eyeliners, eye shadow, mascara etc. The eyemake is one of my staples.
I've been using a variety of different liners - liquid, brush with wet shadow etc, so I was really excited to try this one. The ads made it out to appear like it goes on extremely smooth. It didn't work that way for me. Now, I've tried this liner a few times to see if it was the technique or what, but it doesn't go on smooth for me at all. I normally apply eyeliner wings fairly easily with all my other liners but this one just went on bad. It wasn't smooth at all and looked very clumpy I'd say. I'm still giving it 3 because I think maybe, just maybe, with a whole lot of practice, this could look nice. But, it's so much easier with all the other liners that I just don't want to try it a dozen times to finally get it right when I'm busy rushing out the door. Added to that, this liner is more of a charcoal and I'm weary of charcoal liners because the oil on my skin makes it smudge by mid day normally.
I would most likely not get this again.

Wow. Just starting from the container I was impressed. A friend of mine recommended this serum and I had a chance to get it as part of a Holt Renfrew Beauty Bag, which I paid $35 for. This was one of the items.
You notice when you look at the jar that the jar is humongous for the amount of serum that's supposed to be in it. I got a 15mL bottle, but seriously, looking at it, you'd think it was over 100mL.
On to the serum. It comes out clear, crystal clear. The first thing that comes to mind is how divine it smells. The smell is sort of like a flowery fruity blend,. It smells so good, I almost want to eat it.
I used this after washing my face with Suki Skin Care Purifying Foaming Cleanser and spraying Caudalie Eau de Raisin. Immediately after putting the serum on I felt refreshed (could be from the toner spray).
Quite often with serums I find that there is a little bit of a sticky film on my skin after I put it on. This serum did not feel sticky AT ALL. It was actually quite wonderful and got absorbed into my skin like that!
The results:
Next morning - I saw that my skin was noticeably more plump and youthful looking.
I really love this product. Especially since I have extremely sensitive skin and had no reaction to this whatsoever.
I'd purchase this in an instant if there wasn't such a hefty price tag attached. If you go on the Enzo Laszlo site, you can see that it costs USD $140 for 1.7Oz, which is a bit too hefty for me right now, but I'd definitely want to buy it again in the not so distant future.

Lancôme Paris Hypnose Star 24H Waterproof Mascara

I needed a new mascara as my regular one is from Japan (which I love), but I wasn't going to be visiting any time soon. I needed a waterproof one because non waterproof always runs, oily skin I guess, or maybe just oily eye lids is what I usually say.
The Lancome Hypnose goes on very smooth and definitely adds volume to my lashes. It doesn't add a lot in the area of length but it's still acceptable. The thing I like about it is how smooth it is when it goes on and there are no clumps!! A huge plus!
I'm confirming that it is indeed waterproof, yay!
Overall, even though not too much length is added, this mascara makes up for it by adding a lot volume wise and for the smooth texture of it. I'd buy it again, even for the price.
