It's called a "body dessert" for a reason.
I would eat this stuff if I could. In fact, since it's made with all natural ingredients like Organic Raw Cacao Butter, Organic Virgin Coconut Cream, Organic Sunflower Oil and Organic Avocado Oil, I probably COULD eat it!
It smells amazing. I have forgone my perfumes and now just wear this when I go out. I smell like a decadent chocolate dessert. Not to mention this cream is increadibly moisturing. LOVE!

The first thing you notice about this is the packaging. Very very nice packaging. And I am a total sucker for a pretty package. It just makes the chocolate seem so much fancier, and totally adds to the experience.
You feel fancy eating it :)
The taste - it`s really good. Chocolate shell on the outside and bubbly, creamy mousse on the inside. It reminded me slightly of an Aero bar, but much more decadent.
Also, this is the first time I enjoed milk choclate over dark chocolate. The dark chocolate tasted a bit too harsh. Dark chocolate usually has a more refined flavour but this dark one tasted cheap. But the milk chocolate was yummy!
I would definitely reccommend people who like areo bars, or creamy chocolate fillings to purchase this chocolate! A fabulous little after dinner dessert. Yum!

I was given a bunch of samples while browsing the perfumes at Holt Renfrew. I tried all of them, several times, and Bright Crystal was the one that stood out to me the most.
It's a scent that I find both delicate and confident. It is fresh and feminine, a lovely scent that is just a bit flowery.
The bottle is great as well, I find it very elegant. Also, it doesn't hurt that it's pink!
The price was mid - high. But I used up my sample so quickly that I knew it was worth it for me to buy a bottle. Love it!

We went here for my friend's birthday and everyone had a great time.
Obviously, as the name says, they are known for their Martinis. There is a HUGE menu of martinis to choose from with fun names like the "Ricky Martini". The best thing is, they're only $5!!! And the ones I ordered were really good. Also, we didn't order food, but I hear it's not bad.
In terms of size and decor, the whole place is really small, including the "back room" which we reserved for our group (just a semi-closed off space at the back on the place) but I really liked the casual and cute atmosphere.
I would totally go back for drinks with girlfriends or even on a date. Weeknights are not very crowded (we went on a Wednesday), but come the weekend, it probably is a bit busy because of it's small space.

My mom is OBSESSED with Chanel. And I like to borrow her stuff :) So I borrowed this eyeliner from her one night, and loved it. It was waterproof, it went on nicely, it didn't need sharpening, i thought it was great.
So, I went to Holt's and bought my own, in two shades. Dark blue and black. It was pretty expensive as it was Chanel, so I thought it would be worth it. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and it works well. However there are a couple things I don't like about it
1) It's hard to get off because it's waterproof and I usually end up with it smudged under my eyes if I've worn it out at night.
2) It doesn't remain sharp very long, and the "sharpener" it has hidden inside the the back, doesn't really work.
3) It is not cheap. (it IS Chanel... but still)
So, if you like the idea of waterproof eyeliner in pretty shades, that doesn't need to be sharpened (but isn't really sharp) and are willing to pay for it, then go for it. Otherwise, I'm sure there are other waterproof eyeliners, or even regular eyeliners that work just as well for a much cheaper price.

My lips tend to be on the dry side, especially in winter. So an awesome lip balm/ lip-chap is essential!
So, needless to say, the name of this lip balm fits perfectly. Nivea Lip care "ESSENTIAL" is definitely one of my must-haves. I have two tubes on the go right now, one for my purse, and one for at home.
It is super moisturizing and unlike a lot of lip balms that just sort-of glide over your chapped lips, without getting rid of the dry skin, this stuff totally un-chaps my lips! And I really like the scent of it too, super light
And if you lick your lips you don't get any weird taste like some lip-balms.
I've tried other Nivea lip balms as well, and I like them, but ESSENTIAL is definitely my favourite!

The one thing I HATE the most about eye makeup removers is the oily residue they leave behind. Not only does it feel gross, I wear contact lenses, and it gets in my eyes and makes them blurry.
Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent is the one eye make-up remover that I've tried that isn't oily at all! I find that it works really well, even with waterproof mascara, and it doesn't bug my contact lenses at all.
It's lasts a while too, a little goes a long way!

I have been using this stuff for probably 6 years now. I have sensitive skin that is usually not very problem prone... but I have a feeling it might be if I didn't use this!
I've tried a lot of other moisturizers, but after a week or two, without fail, I ALWAYS go back to this one. It just works the best for me out of anything else. It's light, oil free and basic and I love it :)
