I decided to purchase the Sephora I Heart Cushion bronzer to make it for free shipping on the Sephora website. It was on sale for $9 so if I paid for shipping it would have almost been the same.
I bought the bronzer in light/medium and it works for my skin tone. It's in a little circle tube and inside comes with a sponge to apply the bronzer, then a plastic lid to seal the cushion bronzer so it doesn't dry up. I don't care for the sponge, I use a contour brush to apply the bronzer and works great.
The bronzer itself is not too bad but not great. It does it's job and is buildable. Lasting power is average. I would say a couple of hours at most. It's a decent product but better than I expected it to be. It does not make my face looks muddy nor orange which is what I really like about it. It was a good purchase to save on the shipping. Just an added product to my makeup collection.

I bought this on a whim when browsing Shoppers Drug Mart! I saw a huge clearance bin and found this foundation. It was the only one left and matches my skin tone perfectly so I thought, why not? It retails for $27 which I find pricey for a drugstore brand but on clearance for $6, so it's a steal!
I can't believe how impress I am with this foundation. I didn't think much of it and don't have much Quo products other than sponges. I think after trying this foundation, I'm going to try out more Quo products. Okay the truth is it was the packaging that attracted me to the product. It is the coolest foundation packaging I've seen. It's in a clear glass bottle but the lid just twist and pops up with the dispenser. It's so compact and neat.
The foundation itself really blown me away. It blends so well, light weight and I would say it's medium coverage but I love the finish look. It's more on the natural looking side and does not look like I'm wearing a million layers of makeup. It does not crease nor cakey.
The only downfall I would say is this foundation only comes in 6 shades. I heard that they will be re-packing this product and perhaps bring out more shades. This is definitely in the higher end quality foundation rather than a drug store. It does not irritate my skin nor breaks me out so it's great. I only assume it's drugstore because Quo is exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart, but prices is more on the higher end.
I would recommend this foundation if you are looking for a medium coverage with matte finish. It is not drying so great for anyone with dry skin like me.

I really wanted to love Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss but after purchasing over 10 of them and not liking it, it's a sign that this product is not for me. By the way, I'm a lip product freak. I have tried and purchase many many lip products.
I'm just giving my honest opinion, I keep purchasing these because they are always on sale at VS in the States. They are way too tacky and dries out my lips. I can't stand a lip product that does not give my lips any moisture. Not only that, it dries out my lips to the point where there are tons of skin peeling and starts to bleed.
I also do not like how it feels, it's too sticky. At first, I thought I just bought a bad one. Then I bought other ones in different shades and etc... all the same on me. My lips can handle a lot but it can't stand these lip gloss. Sorry ladies, I'm just being honest.

I have always used the M.A.C. gel liner and love it. My tube dried out and my favorite beauty geru keeps raving about this Maybelline Studieo Gel Eyeliner (she always use high end) so for her to suggest this eyeliner from drugstore it must be special.
I decided to purchase it, sine I need a new Gel Liner and for the price I can't loose. I got it in the blackest black and it is is indeed black! It also comes with a liner brush but I don't care for the brush. I use my other brush with this liner. This liner is amazing. It goes on so smooth and it is so black! It is fool proof, hard to make a mistake with it, it is so easy to apply. It does not smudge with long lasting power.
For the price, you really can't go wrong. This is my holy grail gel liner now. Half the price of my other ones. So happy with this purchase.

I have taken advantage of the Tarte boxing day sale and went Tarte happy. I decided to get the Tarteist Pro Glow to Go Palette.
I do not regret purchasing this at all. I was about to buy the full version (glad I didn't) I saw some review video on the full palette and apparently the highlighter shades are different.
With that all being said the Pro Glow To Go palette comes with 2 shades highlighter; Gleam & Burst and OMG they are beautiful! The highlight is so so pigmented and goes on like a dream. This little palette has blown me away with the highlighter. I thought the Becca Champagne Pop was so great until I tried Gleam & Burst by Tarte. They did released the Pro and the to go palette late 2016 as in late November so not many people have bought it yet. Actually correction; the Pro to Go palette have been sold out at Sephora from the week it was on sale. :( Tarte does have them available.
It's all I could ask for in a highlighter. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be that good! I bought it on a whim because of the sale. It smells so good as well. The smell of vanilla stays on my face for a while and I love it. Best part is there are no glitter in them. No glitter on my face at all! Please be light handed when using any one of these highlighters, a little goes a long ways. Unless you want to blind everyone and glow beyond a disco ball, please be very gentle.
This palette also comes with a bronzer in ; Chisel. It works well with my skin tone. I'm light medium with yellow undertone. It is not as WOW as the highlighters but I'm pretty content with it. It is very buildable but takes a little bit of work. All in all, not a bad bronzer but not as great as the 2 highlighers.
I highly recommend this palette if you love a nice glowing highlighter that is workable both ways; if you want a subtle highlight and is buildable to a more extreme highlight. Great for beginners as well.

I love Marc Jacobs (especially his makeup line) but this mascara is just blah for me. Then again a mascara is just a mascara for me. This one doesn't do anything special that a drug store mascara couldn't do. In my honest opinion I would save the money and get one of the drug store ones.
That being said, it is good quality and works good but just not great. It just doesn't stand out for the price of it. I actually received it in a Marc Jacobs beauty bundle samples I bought. I bought it because I thought I'd try out some of his product in travel size first before purchasing the full size. I wouldn't have bought this mascara otherwise. It's too pricey for a mascara. Mascara tends to dry out so quick and I actually have never used up a full sized mascara before it's dried up before.

I wanted to test out the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer for ages. I have taken advantage of Tarte boxing day sale and ordered myself on. Thank goodness they re-stocked. This is the most popular concealer all over Youtube.
I mistakenly bought a shade too light for my skin but I'm still able to work with it. Be careful of the description of skin tone and shade on the Tarte website. They tend to be lighter than description.
That being said, this concealer is very thick, it actually turned me off when I first used it. Once I started blending, I fell in love! It blends like a dream. It does however is a little bit on the dry side. I use moisturizer before using so it works perfectly! It is a full coverage concealer but feels super light weight. Did I mention it blends like a dream. I'm not sure what this stuff is made of but it has blown away all the concealers I've ever tried. (I've tried a lot)
It is on a higher end side but the price is actually not too bad. I believe Tarte has just up the price a week ago but there are a lot of product in tube. The wand is super huge (made me laugh) on how big it is so easy to apply.
Just remember to to be light handed and start with very little product and build as needed. I made the mistake the first time I used it to put too much on. (what I normally apply with my Nars Concealer) Huge mistake, I ended up taking off my makeup and trying again. It's way too much product. A little really goes a long ways with this concealer. I think this tube is going to last me a long time. I was kind of hoping it will run out fast so I could get my correct shade but I'm stuck with it for a while. There are a lot of product. I might wait for another sale and get another one. I highly recommend this product!

I love to use Tide Pods and with the added bonus of Febreze, it makes my laundry smells more fresh. That being said, I still use Unstoppable along with a Tide Pod. I love the long lasting smell of laundry. Sometimes I use 2 pods with other brands but with Tide Pods Plus Febreze I only need 1. It is also very convenient, I can not go back to powder or liquid detergent after using Pods. -
A Walk to Remember dvd

This is one of the most beautiful movie I've ever seen! No joke, I've seen it probably 10 times and cried each and every single time. I generally don't cry in movies but there is just something so pure about the love that these two teenagers shared. It's so sad that that they can't be together no matter how hard they tried. I don't want to give away the entire movie just in case some of you ladies have not seen it.
I highly recommend if you are in the mood for a touching well acted love story. Get ready for at least some teary eyes. They movie is the second movie that has ever made me tear up. No other movies had that affect on me.

Coca-Cola Classic

Coca-Cola was probably the hardest thing I had to cut back on when I had a lifestyle change to be more healthy. I will still have a little bit once in a blue a moon, if I'm eating something greasy. I don't think I could cut this drink completely out of my life.
As bad as it sounds, I had no problems cutting back on junk food and etc but Coca-cola is so hard. I love the taste and just the right amount of carbonation. It's so refreshing when it's super cold!
