Sephora's primer keeps my skin matte, without the oily or shiny finish my normal skin gives me. It lasts all day long and any foundation works with it.
I totally love it. I'm down to my third bottle yet. But maybe that's the only flaw. with 15 mL, you don't go a long way, I would enjoy a bigger format...

Dove's invigorating dry shampoo worked super well for me. First, the clean and fresh smell was nice, as well as the fact that my hair didn't become all white like when I tried other dry shampoos (think TresEmme). My hair did take a little gray shade but it lasted for about 5 minutes before completely disappearing.
It left my hair without the greasy feeling ALL-DAY-LONG.
I liked the fact about it that it is very light weighted, and doesn't let the hair dry and dull. It lets your hair shine but without looking oily or greasy. It is also very cheap compared to its competitors prices.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara

It's simple. Benefit's They're real mascara is THE BEST MASCARA I tried over the years. I'm a huge fan of mascara and I've probably tried 40 varieties, but this one my my favourite yet.
The texture is perfect, liquid but not too much. it goes on so very evenly and lets no clumps behind. It doesn't fade or fall off in small chunks, and most important of all, it makes my lashes soooo long!
love this mascara, it builds perfect doll eyes. Some may find it brings too much length for an everyday mascara and will prefer using it only for special occasions.

I find it very effective and liked how it left my breath fresh, however, the taste and texture felt a bit weird. I would have preferred a mintyer flavour than that.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided myself to buy one of Clinique's chubby sticks. I was a bit disappointed with my purchase, considering how much I had paid for it... I got mine at Sephora in Paris for about 23 EUROS, which comes to about 30$.
Yes, chubby sticks have great pigmentation, but with that quantity of pigmentation, you can't afford to put some aside of your lip line. chubby stick is so "chubby" that it gives no precision at all and makes it very difficult to control. And it only gets worse when you start wearing it out. The tip gets flat and becomes even MORE difficult to apply.
But that's not all. Of course chubby stick moisturizes your lips and let them fairly soft, but an hour or so after applying it, you will find it peeling away in little clumps. Totally disgusting and unwelcomed from a 30$ lipstick-chapstick.
They DO have great colours though. My chubby stick is Pudgy Peony and I got quite a few compliments for the great color.
I would say that the chubby sticks are ok, but so not worth the price.

Addicted to these. bought them in a ton of different shades such as the green minty one, the red cherry one, the peachy purple one, ...
first, the colors are so nice but not TOO covering. they leave a subtle hint of color to your lips while moisturizing them at the same time.
they have a great texture and they wont ''peel'' as other coloured lip balms would. They stay on for a very long time so you don't need to put some over and over again although you will want to, because they feel so good.
They all smell (and taste ;) ) heavenly good. I have a preference for the peachy purple one...
They will leave your lips perfectly soft and moisturized, giving you kissable beautiful baby lips :)

bought this mascara a while ago and already went through about 5 tubes! love it!
The brush separates all your lashes letting no clumps behind. It gives you great volume although not a lot of length so I have to pair it with an lengthening mascara...
Great texture, not to watery.
Perfect everyday mascara.

I got St. Ives' Apricot Scrub after a friend told me about it's high effectiveness and I wasn't disappointed at all. First, this product smelled like heaven and its texture was quite interesting. Although I found at first that the little grains were a bit big, when I applied it to my face and body, I was happy with the texture and it seemed ok.
I finished using it on my body rather than on my face, and I choose a milder one for my face's sensible skin.
After the shower, I was pleased to see that my skin looked and felt quite smoother. I also felt like my skin looked more moisturized than when I normally got out of the shower. My boyfriend even noticed the difference in my skin's ''smoothness''!
I also thought that the quality of the product was high compared to its cheap price.
I would totally recommend this product for anyone with dry or sensible skin, but I would definitely recommend to use a softer one for your face.

I was looking for a primer for a very long time and decided to try this L'Oreal perfecting base. I was more than pleased with this one! After washing my face, I applied the base to my whole entire face and was surprised with how my skin appeared after. Having a very oily skin, this primer matified it, letting it smooth to touch and not a tad shiny. My skin was soft and almost imperfection-free before even applying foundation... :O
I also found that my foundation (I use Maybelline's dream matte mousse) held perfectly to it and lasted all day long without fading.
Only flaw I can see to this product is probably that its price is quite high compared to the quantity of product. I paid about 23 Canadian dollars for only 15 mL of product (and I can ensure you they went away quite fast).
I will definitely re-purchase it though. LOVED it.
