While I liked this lotion, it is probably my least favourite of all 3 (cleanser, toner, lotion) I received.
I'm not a huge fan when it comes to the pump. A little stiff to use.
Product wise, it's not irritating and does a pretty good job. Even though it seems thick, it doesn't actually do a great job in keeping the skin moisturized. I find mid-day my skin is feeling dry and pulled. So I now apply a moisturizer over this in the morning.
The scent is the same, slight smell of male cologne, which I'm not a huge fan of. I could do without this product again.
This was sent to me complimentary for review purposes.

Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion

I quite like this toner. It is my 2nd step after the acne cleanser.
Again, the scent isn't amazing, but it's not drying or irritating. There is alcohol in it and I can smell it, but it's not overly strong. Not enough for it to be bothersome for me.
I found using all 3 products (cleanser, toner, lotion) really helped my acne heal faster.
I currently am still using this as my main morning cleanser.

This was my favourite product of the 3 Vichy Acne products received. It's good for sensitive skin and it isn't irritating at all. My face feels clean and the best part, is that after rinsing my face, it doesn't feel dried and pulled.
I do have to say, I don't like the scent. It reminds me of mens cologne, but not the good kind. Basically all 3 products sort of smell like that.
I did end up getting a zit the same time I had just gotten these products. I felt using all 3 together really did help my acne disappear more quickly. I have it as my main cleanser in the morning.
I received this product complimentary for my review.

Victoria's Secret Stores
Price wise they can be very expensive. The bras are worth the price but a lot of other products are not worth the mark up they charge. Their sales they have good items if you go in time. Associates are helpful and come up to you to ask questions... +

Their sales they have good items if you go in time. Associates are helpful and come up to you to ask questions. I would shop at VS again.

Forever 21
I enjoy shopping at Forever21. They always have new styles for a great price. If whatever I buy go out of style, at least I didn't spend a lot on it. Quality wise, they're alright. We get what we pay for. Stores are a little messy, some are messier... +

Stores are a little messy, some are messier than others.
Website, they provide fairly good information to get a good idea of what the sizing is.
Personally, I'm not able to buy a lot from the store because their sizes vary a lot. I don't usually fit into small as I'm an extra small. Not all their clothes have XS.

I really enjoy shopping at Winners. They have a lot of variety of things that makes it worth stopping by at least once to twice a week. Price wise they can sometimes be worth it. I don't much care for their membership card. The 'rewards' aren't even anything that amazing.
Also they can be up and down with the products they offer. One week they could receive a shipment of amazing products and then not get anything good for a month.
Overall, still a great store that I will continue to shop at.

While I like Sephora, I do not like their store. Majority of the time the Toronto store has way too many people. The worst thing is, if I'm trying to look for someone, they ignore me. Unless I'm carrying a nice bag. They've gotten slightly better, but for the most part I prefer shopping on the website. -

I always take these vitamins when I feel like I may be coming down with a cold or to prevent. Haven't caught a cold yet this year! *knock on wood*. Even the non-chewable tablets are good. They have a coating that makes it easier to swallow and can't taste the vitamins as easily. Will definitely repurchase. -

This would probably be more effective if I had dry skin..
I found there was no longevity for this foundation and definitely not sweat proof. On a hot day, when I wore sunglasses, the foundation basically melted and stuck to my nose bridge and sunglass nose pad. It was terrible.
It's slightly better with setting powder, but it does nothing for my oily skin.
There are some good qualities about this though. The foundation blended into my skin so beautifully. Works better with a beauty blender. Basically couldn't tell I was wearing makeup. Sheer foundation, which I like.
It would not be good if you live in a hot climate or if you sweat easily.
