Just shut up and take my money! I LOVE this pallette! All the colours! All the shimmer! Eeeeek!! Really though, if you like bright bold colours and want to go outside of the normal neutral zone then buy this pallette. There is little to no fall out, they're sooooooo pigmented (so don't go too nuts with loading your brush), and they're easy to blend and build. These colours give your eyes that extra pop without looking obnoxious. -

Nope!! I think that the only reason this book series blew up as much as it did was because there wasn't much in the genre out there at the time and E. L James had a good publicist. This book was horribly written and did not represent that "alternate lifestyle" very well. It glamorized an mentally abusive relationship and the characters were way to codependent in my opinion. There are a bunch if authors who write in the same genre (ie: Sylvia Day) that, when you read them, you won't feel like your IQ has dropped. I bought the box set thinking that these books were going to be fantastic. I wasn't impressed by the first, I hoped that the second would be better and that James would have picked up a few writing tips after the first but I was wrong. The third, I only read because I already paid for it and felt that I had too but, I barely got through it and it took me about a month to read. I normally read a novel this size in two days. I would not recommend this series and would tell you that if you liked this genre then you should read the Crossfire series instead. -
KVD Vegan Beauty Lock It Blotting Powder
I know that having the perfect glow to top off your look is essential but, you don't actually want a shine. This blotting powder is perfect for pre-photos and takes away any big shine without removing the glow.

Am I the only person on earth who absolutely hates Starbucks coffee? I only drink it if there's no other coffee around and I need a pick me up and if I have a gift card. I've tried all sorts of the regular coffee blends and it all tastes the same but in stronger bitter levels or weaker ones. I find that their coffee has a more bitter than usual taste and tastes burnt. It also makes my stomach feel horrible.
Some of the fancier drinks are alright but I've had better at other drink places. They're packed with sugar and extremely overpriced. $12 for a Venti Soy frap on ice with whip, hold the ice but extra cold and soy on the side with 3 splenda and chocolate sprinkles hold the lactose and gluten!? C'mon now. No, I'm not really that pretentious and don't actually order that if I go to Starbucks. Lol. But, I'm not about to pay $8 for a Venti PSL or White chocolate mocha.
The treats, sandwiches and other baked goods are alright and the only reason my review got 3 stats but they're also overpriced and underwhelming.
That's just me... I'd rather go to Second Cup or Tim Horton's to be honest.

Let me try and review this without getting into TMI. Lol. I usually buy Tampax with the cardboard applicator but, when I went to Costco to pick up a box, this brand was about a dollar cheaper so I thought sure why not?
I have never tried this brand but was pleasantly surprised. The box itself was bright with lots of cute little images. The individual tampons were wrapped in a plastic wrapper which opened with a corrugated slit in the corner for easy access and easy disposal. I find that the paper packaging on other tampon brands difficult to keep uncrinkled for disposal. Anyway, the wrapper was cute with vibrant colours and indicated a size on a couple spots.
The applicator comes in a bullet shape with a larger groove for your thumb and forefinger which made application more comfortable and easier. Again the cardboard on some applicator tubes are more difficult and you have to make sure your hands are completely dry before insertion (because you're always supposed to wash your hands before using a tampon) and you may slip. The grooved, bullet form of this plastic applicator makes any slippage hard.
The actual cotton piece opens up into a floral shape with the open part facing the cervix which I assume helps catch more "stuff." I didn't find any leakage and the wear was comfortable. I didn't feel it at all and it didn't slip downwards through any activity.
The only drawback to this tampon is that both the applicator and wrapper was plastic which crates excess waste that isn't biodegradable. If they could find a way to fix this then these tampons would be perfect.

I really like this lip stain! It's a really glossy formula that applies really well and doesn't streak or feather so there's no need to use a Liner with it. You can build on it for a more opaque look but it's pigmented enough so that you really don't need too. This formula is also really hydrating so it can also double as a lip moisturiser. I'm not big on everyday Lipstick or liquid lip wearing but like a little bit of colour so this lip stain is perfect. It does have longevity and when it does wear out it does so in a non patchy more natural way. Like you've come in from a cold day outside and your lips have naturally warmed up. Another great feature of this product is that it can double as a Blush. Just dab a bit on the apples of your cheeks and blend for a natural looking rosy cheek look. -

At first when I bought this stuff for my husband I thought great! It's cheap, it's got a good amount of spray in it and it smells okay when sprayed in the air. After my husband put it on the smell changed. I don't know if it didn't mix well with his body chemistry but he smelled like a teenager who bathed in the stuff. I thought okay, maybe he used to much and didn't say anything. He used it again and I told him not to spray as much so he only used one squirt. Same results. The smell is overpowering to the point that it's offensive. It's a great value for the price but it smells awful. -

I'm talking about the Jeep that you drive. It's an amazing vehicle and perfect for the outdoor enthusiast. It will go almost anywhere and has a lot of cool accessories that you can add to it. Our family will always own a jeep

I wouldn't call this program a diet. It's more of a kick start to a lifestyle change. The weekly meal planning is a bit of a pain but there are so many existing ones out there that all you have to do is tweak a little to suit your tastes.
The containers are super helpful and easy to use. You have a specific container allowance per day and I often found that one simply cannot eat that much food. Just finish what you can and make sure you have something from each container. What I like about the container system is that it takes the guesswork out if how much food to actually eat.
The exercise Dvd's are short (only 30 minutes) but you're moving the entire time so they're effective. Who doesn't have 30 minutes a day to dedicate to exercise. The woman on the videos is super encouraging and really bubbly which can get annoying. There are modified moves for beginners and you do them at your own pace from the comfort of your living room.
Shakeology is gross. I got the vanilla sample pack which is only a weeks worth and I did not like it. I've heard that the coffee flavour is better though. I usually mixed mine with berries to take the nastiness away. They may take gross but they do actually work.
I like that you can eat anything you want but they teach you portion control and promote a healthy lifestyle. I only did one round (3 weeks) and lost 3 pant sizes. I'm more toned, feel better about myself and have changed how I eat.
I love this plan!
