I got the Caudalie Lip Conditioner from Sephora in December as part of a Caudalie Favorites sample kit. I have been using this for two weeks now in place of my Alba lip balm and so far I am pleased with the Caudalie lip conditioner. In the cooler months my lips get dry, red and peel. I have been using this twice a day after I brush my teeth in the morning and evening and it has made my lips soft, moist and helped my lip products to glide on smoother.
I like the vanilla flavor but unfortunately my husband doesn't so I don't use it when I want a smooch from him :-)
It is pricey but if you want soft lips during Canada's cold winters, it's worth it.

I got the Caudalie Beauty Elixir from Sephora in December as part of a Caudalie Favorites kit. I have been using this for a month now and love this product. I carry it in my purse and spritz my face when it feels dry and it provides a lovely, lightly scented mist that nourishes and brightens my face. We traveled to Las Vegas in December and my face always get dry when I'm on a plane. As soon as we landed and got our luggage I used this to perk myself up and it helped to freshen up my mineral makeup by providing moisture and a brightness to my skin. My husband also likes the scent and he's got a sensitive nose so I'm glad that he likes it.
I have also used it when I have liquid foundation on and it works great and I can also use it to set my makeup. It doesn't make your makeup run and it gives you a boost with just one spritz that you use as you feel you need it. I generally use it before lunch and before dinner to provide a boost for my mood and makeup. I have dry, sensitive skin and I haven't had any pimples or irritation with it. I like the scent as it provides a nice, fresh scent that isn't overpowering but read that some people find it too strong. I suggest going to Sephora and using the tester to see for yourself how great this elixir is. Enjoy as a treat to your skin for a moisture boost and to your mood for the refreshing scent.

I have straight, long hair just past my shoulders. I like to switch up my hairstyles so wearing it in a chignon is a nice change. When I saw the Goody Spin Pin in the hair accessories and read on the package that all you had to do was gather your hair at the nape of your neck, twist into a tight bun and spin the two pins into your hair, I thought it looked stylish and easy so I would try it. When I got home I followed the instructions and it was easy to do and I went about the house gathering laundry but within five minutes it fell out of my hair. So, I tried again and put some styling spray in but my hair kept coming loose in sections from the pin. When my friend came over, I had her try putting it in my hair to see if I was doing something wrong. She put in the two pins, one from the top and one at the base and it did not fall out but many strands of my hair came loose resulting in a very messy chignon that I didn't like.
I gave them to my friend who has shoulder length, curly thick hair and it worked for her. It gave her a chignon that lasted for hours so she was pleased with them.
So, in my opinion, it didn't work on my straight long hair, but worked on my friends, curly hair. I can't recommend it as it didn't work for me as it did not stay in my hair nor provide a style that I liked.

This is the only mascara I will ever wear. I have year round allergies so my eyes water a lot, and regular and waterproof mascaras would both smudge and flake under my eyes. With Blinc mascara this is never a problem as it lasts an entire day. Here's an example of how well it holds up. My husband and I attended a fall wedding in 2011 and it was a very rainy day with trips to and from the car, outdoor pictures, and lots of dancing on a packed, hot dance floor. My lashes looked amazing and required no touch ups whatsoever throughout the day. There were tears of joy from happiness and laughter, rainy weather, a dance workout, and throughout all of this my mascara held up from applying it at 11 a.m. until I took it off at 2 a.m. Over 12 hours and no smudging or flaking whatsoever.
This mascara is different from others as it 'tubes' your lashes instead of coating them. I use my eyelash curler and then I apply my mascara. I find that one coat works best for me as I get definition and length from it without any clumps. Removal is simple as I run warm water and gently apply pressure to the lashes and the tubes come off.
If you have sensitive eyes and have had problems in the past with mascara smudging or flaking on you, Blinc mascara is the answer to your dreams.

I saw the Always Infinity Heavy and decided to try them instead of my usual Always Long. I have now used the Infinity Heavy for the past two periods that I had and I highly recommend them. The lining is soft and does not cause any irritation. I was concerned about them being so thin but they are absorbent and I did not have any leakage. I have endometriosis so heavy bleeding is an issue for me but these were great and I highly recommend them for reliability and comfort during your period. -
