I was lucky enough to find the trilogy available for $20. I had only seen the first movie before reading the books. Even then, I had not heard much about the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I ended up reading the entire series in just a couple months. Very enjoyable and easy to read. My favourite book of the 3 is the 2nd. -

Qtips brand is definitely one of the you get what you pay for. I've purchased the dollarstore versions and they are TERRIBLE. The 'dupes' of these aside from johnson and johnson are garbage. The swab is terrible, the plastic stick is wobbly. I will never buy a cheaper alternative. They just aren't the same compared to Qtips. The wand is sturdy and the cotton swab is a lot bigger and more dense. I use this to apply creams to my hands if I don't want to contaminate the bottle I'm swiping from. -
Johnson's Baby Oil
I love using this in the winter. I have really dry skin on my hips, legs, etc. After the shower, I lotion up and then rub the oil on. It keeps my body well moisturized for a lot longer than the lotion. The oil is absorbed into the skin quite quickly... +
I love using this in the winter. I have really dry skin on my hips, legs, etc. After the shower, I lotion up and then rub the oil on. It keeps my body well moisturized for a lot longer than the lotion. The oil is absorbed into the skin quite quickly so you don't feel oily and greasy for long. The scent isn't too overpowering either and goes away within a few minutes. The bottle lasts an incredibly long time as well. The bottle is large so I dispense it into a smaller 100ml bottle. I started using it in January and after daily use I'm just now hitting the bottom. Well worth the money. I've stopped purchasing body butters entirely. -
Clorox Disinfecting Bleach Foamer
I loooove this spray. I mean, it really stinks and you definitely have to keep your vent on when you use this, but it works so well! I spray it on tough stains, mildew and let it sit for 5-10 min. I don't even need to scrub, it comes off so easily!... +

I don't even need to scrub, it comes off so easily! I can purchase this from the dollarstore for about $2-3/bottle. -
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
This eraser is pretty great. It is able to wipe away even the toughest of stains or marks. I always have one in my kitchen and bathroom. Great product and I will continue to repurchase.

I received these complimentary a couple years ago.
They are good for use a couple times. But not as long lasting as they advertise. They have a number of different sizes to choose from so you'll always be able to find a nail your size.
Now the biggest complaint I have about these is that if your nail shape is a little irregular maybe finger nail more curved, then the plastic nail will not fit over it well. When you wash your hands, the water will get in between your real nail and the fake and the adhesive will be ruined. So this will not work with everyone. I found that once you removed it the first time as well the adhesive also wasn't as sticky. It also removed your enamel too. It's good to use for one night, but it is expensive for just one time use. I would not purchase this again.

I wanted this perfume so badly because so many people raved about it. I purchased the roller ball set from Sephora a couple years ago. And honestly, I dislike it. My fault for not smelling it before hand, but it really smells like baby powder to me. The staying power is nice, lasts a while, but the scent just isn't my cup of tea. Of the 3 different chloe scents the set came in, this is my favourite. But that's not saying much because I don't really love any of the scents.
It's supposed to smell like blossoms and jasmine, but I don't smell any of those notes.

This used to be my go to gloss, until I stopped using glosses altogether. There wasn't really a scent I could detect nor was their any flavour. More importantly, the gloss wasn't overly sticky either, so it was nice to have on the lips. The colour payoff was pretty good always. It didn't really dry out my lips, but it didn't last too long, which was alright, as it was a gloss. -
Revlon Nail Enamel

For the price-especially on sale, these polishes are great. Granted if you take care of your nails and use a top and base coat, you can extend the wear of these polishes and they won't chip as quickly.
But really, when these polishes go on sale, you can get them for $2.99 each which is great! There is such a large selection to choose from and Revlon always comes out with different colours. Will definitely continue to purchase from this brand.
