I have the Maybelline Super Stay 24 hr foundation in natural beige. It's slightly dark orange-ish for me, but in the summer months it's perfect. Okay, first off, I will say that it is not the most amazing coverage. I mean, it is quite good and looks smooth and natural, but it doesn't cover everything and you can still see spots and discolourations (but if I use concealer with it, I have no problems).
What I do love is that this stuff really stays on! I mean, I have worn it swimming, in the shower, etc. and it does a great job of staying put. I have oily skin and find that my face can get shiny throughout the day when I wear this, but at least the foundation stays put. Overall, I really like this because I don't have to worry about it fading throughout the day.

I was lucky enough to be sent this product to review from the ChickAdvisor review club. I was really excited about trying this mascara and I probably would have ended up buying it anyways. (I really love my mascaras).
I have to start off by saying this is my favourite mascara BY FAR and I have a lot of them - Loreal, Maybelline, CoverGirl, etc. I find that the Falsies wears well throughout the day so it doesn't really smudge or flake off very much. It does occasionally in rainy weather I have found, but overall it lasts all day.
I like the brush very much, the mascara wand makes it very easy to apply and the formula doesn't clump - it's actually quite liquidy I think - so I am able to really coat each lash. I think that it's also great because it helps my lashes stay curled and look much longer than my other mascaras.
Does it make me look like I'm wearing false lashes? Well, obviously not. :) I find that it's not the greatest thickening mascara by any means, but the length that it gives my lashes really makes up for it.
Overall, it's my fave one yet and I've tried a whole lot of 'em.

I was also invited to the Breyers Smooth & Dreamy event in Vancouver and I was able to sample almost every flavour. I thought the ice cream was delicious and I really could not tell it was half the fat. In fact, it tasted even creamier than normal ice cream, I would say. I really liked how rich it tasted and it was so smooth it melted in your mouth. My favourite flavour was the Strawberries and Cream - this one was a surprise for me! I am a major chocolate lover, so I usually prefer chocolate ice cream, but the strawberry really won me over. You know how some ice creams have that fake metallic taste? Well, this one tastes exactly like real strawberries and pure cream. Mmm...so good!
My next fave was the Mocha Fudge Brownie. The mocha makes it really rich and has a strong flavour, and the little brownie chunks are just divine. I hate those ice creams that advertise brownie chunks and yet have none in the whole box. With this one, I had at least 3 chunks in my scoop and they were soft and chewy just like real brownies. Yum yum!!
Overall, I really like it. I would agree with the others that the price is a little steep, but then again, it is good quality ice cream. I'm used to spending a little bit more for less ingredients and higher quality. And as a treat every once in a while, I think you just can't go wrong.

I love this conditioner! I actually have oily hair, so you would think it's not for me, but it really helps to get rid of itchiness from my dry, flaking scalp (yeah: oily hair and dry scalp, go figure!) After I use it my hair just feels so clean and I love the smell. It's very fresh. I find I only have to wash my hair 2-3 times a week and my hair is sooo healthy now (I use the shampo, too, by the way). I used to have really dry split ends, but now it is silky smooth. I LOVE IT!! :) I'd totally recommend it to anyone. -

I personally love bio oil. I think it is really helpful for healing all sorts of scars and I love that even though I have oily skin, it absorbs so quickly and my skin just feels silky smooth. I've used it on a few scars, and while it isn't a miracle worker by any means - definitely no overnight miracle - with continued use it helps my skin to heal faster than without and redues redness. I've used it on my face and body for anything from sunburns to acne scars to flaky skin. I just love it! -

I bought this last year and have used almost all of it on and off between experimenting with other foundations. I think the price is great, and I do like it, but the coverage is pretty sheer so it doesn't do much for me. I like that it goes on so smoothly and it feels so light, but after a few hours (and with my oily skin) it starts to run and look very streaky and greasy. Not pretty. I also found it took on a more orange tone throughout the day, but maybe that's just me. -

Well, this one was a real bummer, in my opinion. I bought this months ago and used it for about 1-2 months consistently. I can't really say that the product itself was that bad, although it was a little dark (or orange-y) for my skin tone. The actual powder is okay - but the package? Horrible! That stupid little brush does nothing and I do mean nothing...unless you want to blotch little patches of circles on your face. I have no idea how you are supposed to use it to evenly apply the product all over your face. Needless to say I used my own powder brush, but even then the packaging makes it really hard to use without spilling everywhere. When you unscrew the lid, there's just these little holes and the powder sifts through them, but there's no way of controlling how much comes out and when you dip the brush in, well, it just makes a mess.
The powder itself was kind of greasy I think, and it did nothing to help my oily skin. I thought the coverage was okay, but if you put too much on it can look very mask-like.

I was very excited about trying out this mascara and at the moment it is my favourite. I like the style of the bottle and the wand/brush is easy to use. I like that there are no clumps and the brush is just perfect for getting each individual lash. I find that this mascara adds a lot of lengh - I already have longish lashes, so they really make my bottom lashes especially stand out. I do wish this mascara added some volume to my lashes as well, but I suppose the length makes up for it. I find that if you layer too much on your lashes it will flake throughout the day, so watch out for that (I find I can only put 1 coat or it flakes). -
