I'm in love with this purfume. it's a great summer purfume and faboulous for the springtime.
I recieved a sample spray from the lancome ladies, and gave me the card containing what the smell is.
it says:
feelings: I feel feminine, and spontaneous
Personality: fruity floral
KEY NOTES:
nectarine, pear bergamot (light sparkling and crisp)
Turkish rose, jasmine ( a dewy fresh floral bouquet)
Cedar wood, musk (pulsating and vibrant, warm and sensuous)
lancome.
and i agree with everything!! :D it feels fresh, floral, and just mhm!!
it stays on for quite a while, i love putting it behind my neck and few spritz on my hair, and on my wrists, my boy looves this smell becuz its not too overwhelming (like my gucci gucci purfume i use for winter..gotta switch it back to gucci envy me instead eh?) but yes great quality, cute packaging. and well worth the price.
for a bottle of 75ml = 94$ tax
check out their website, www.lancome.ca for the 54ml annd smaller sizes and the sets. its under fragrances and tresor in love. :) apparently i heard its a special edition too.. so get it quick, sorry if im wrong!

Nuhu huh....
i used this for a while because my friend had it and it looked good on her olive skin tone, i have tan. not olive. after using it a bit, the product got dense and hard to even transfer onto the brush. waaay too many gold speckles everywhere... which just enlarged my pores and made it look like a clown not even natural.
its hard too control it, its either doesnt show up , or waay too bronzy. but on those lucky days, i do get just enough and it looks okay, but not natural. it does give the skin a nice sheer luminousity to it. but not overall that great. i suggest investing in a matte bronzer with pearle, or smaller gold shimmers, but ladies in the summer wearing bronzer, you want it to look natural.. go for a matte or with a small hint of sheer..
but overall, i say , save your 4 bucks.. and save maybe another 5 dollars or so, and grab a better one.

Alright, so i went to my local mac counter just last weekend, and i saw one of the girls there wearing a very nice bronzer. She had the skin finishes on, but just a darker shade and the blush peaches lightly over top. The thing is, the skin finsih is meant for like all over the face finsh, not blush. but she just chose a darker shade that looks EXACTLY like Mac's golden bronzer. which i needed to get.. the thing is with golden, it has gold speckles and thats okay.. but i dont need sparkles or glitter to emphasize my poress. so ive been tryiong to find a matte bronzer for the longest time that i can get my hands on to. theyre both 35oz.. but the skin finsih is 31$ and the bronzer is 27$. hands down the bronzer is cheaper. but i rather no sparkles. mac came out with another bronzer from the back to the beach line, called redefined goldenbut it has a pearle finsih. which will highlight in the sun, but the thing is i want it all matte so thats what i bought, the skin finish in dark. :) it works fine and looks greeat! the thing also, it is baked and it has many minerals in it which is good compared to the bronzer which doesnt have any. i love it, and thats all i wear out in the summer, just some concealer, or if i want, tinted moisturizer and bronzer and just mascara and lip balm. so if youre trying to look for a good MATTE bronzer, purchase that.
glides on smoothly with a fluffy brush. oh yeah, and make sure you use a fluffy brush, (no kubuki or you'll look like a tortilla), and dispose a little amount. or even stippling brush.

mhmm! i love this stuff! the smell is amazing. kinda smells like elizabeth arden purfume. but this claims to regenerate your skin and soften it and help reduce fine lines. i dont have fine lines but i do use it to soften my skin and it kinda freshens up your skin quite well.. it is about normally 25$ originally, but i got a coupon for 5$ off. so this is a steal. as i do buy 'regenerist' kinda cremes from lancome clinique and shisedo, this was a steal and is exactly a replica of some of the higher end quality cremes. so youll be saving lots of $$!! it is an EXCELLENT price. it may seem expensive for drugstores, but if you compare to the boutique higher end product prices, this is a total deal. oily of olay has always been my favourite cosmetic line for a long time, and was also my mums when she was younger! i really recommend it. my mum also uses this and she does have wrinkles, will it make your wrinkles completely disapear? no. but it does help prevent some, extra softening, and help fine lines reduce dramatically. it has a high complexity of retinol and vitamins and i do agree to what it claims to do! xo love it, -

Avojuice is made by OPI. even though this lotion isnt that hydrating as other lotions might be, it is a good lightweight lotion for on the go, or the beach. the consistency of this lotion is wateryish, hence, lightweight. it hydrates nicely, but probably will have reapply. the effectiveness of the lotion itself is maybe a bit too lightweight. but the smell is amazing. if youre just on the go and want a hint of fragrance for a special ocassion or just to smell nice on the beach; avojuice is right for you. the bigger bottles is about 11$ CAD. and the small ones (30ml) is about 3$ CAD, the smaller ones are actually quite hefty priced, so i suggest you buy the bigger bottles and buy a separate travelling bottle and just deposit your lotion in that. my favourite smell is the jasmine juicie. it has a sweet flavourful fragrance that i absolutely loooove! i also have the strawberry one i think. well the pink one. i probably would buy it the thrid time, but after that, probably not. just in my honesty, :) -

I have always loved my luluemon clothing essentials. I have headbands, the pants, shirts, wind jackets, etcetc. When i went and decided to get a water bottle from it, ( i have the pink, purple, and white one of the teal one) not worth 15$. some were 20-25$ depending on the style. it's just like any other ordinary water bottle. I thought since it was lululemon and plus their stuff is very good quality.. and i heard some people told me their water bottles are made out of special metal.. so it doesnt dent easily like other metal water bottles. um. completely.. wrong. Its same as any other water bottle. and actually, dents a lot more. i have this huge gash that almost is creating a hole in it. :( And i just dropped it once. My cousin had one too , and droped it once actually, and had a little dent, but the next time it broke dented the whole thing. It's actually just a regular waterbottle. the price tag and the brand name is not worth it. i rather save 10$ and buy myself nice jewerlly from garage or american eagle or something. The only reason i bought the bottle was because someone told me it would never dent cuz it was made 'sepcially'. lol nope. It's just a brand. It doesnt matter lol. I buy lululemon because their clothing is high quality and pree good price for it. but bottles just .. don't matter. :) save your money guys. not worth the money. -
Maybelline Colour Sensational in Pink Please

Omigosh. Ive never bought a lipstick that i loved quite like this one. I have always loved nude, or pale pinks. And could never find them, the ones that moisturize too anyways. This line is amazing! Soooo manyn colours. The best one i find is, 025, Pink Please. (The swatch on the right) My second favourite is coral beach.. i forgot what its called but it is a nude. Pink please is a pale barbie pink, but its subtle. I would recommend this lipstick to anyone! it really recreates the whole face. Although you would have to reapply after 2-3 hours and after meals or drinking. But its completely worth it. It's average priced for drugstore. not the greatest deal in the bucket, but not the worst. It is 8$ CAD where I bought it, WALMART. =), I would definately go back and buy more.. and im running low too.. haha. But definately one of my fabourites. Nice texture, very moisturizing. Nice packaging. Kinda like diors, but without the dior stub at the botoom poking out. Has a line of nudes, reds, pinks, purples, and browns. great selections that they offer! :) -

I have always loved DOVE products. Its lines are good for sensitive, and it's moisturizing. Prices are well below average and very good for what they make. I actually only paid $3.50 CAD, but I just rounded it up to $4. This is a flexible hairspray with natural movement. So it's not supossed to crucially hold in your locks with that hard, crusty, texture. It's great for those loose curls! I curl my hair the night before, and my hair curler is an expensive one.. so its high high heat. So my curls are quite tight and my hair looks like a mane! So i sleep on my curls and the next morning my hair loses some of its volume, which i want because errr... loose curls duh! And i love using this hairspray because it gives my waves natural movement. and its very lightwieght. It also has moisturizers in it. It has a nice scent for it.. i cant even explain. :P But it smells very good! Its great for on the go hair. Great for striaghtening hair. So you don't look like a greaseball with all the hairspray on. I would rate this hairspray a 4/5. or even 4.5. I like the flexibility of this hairspray and Ive been using it since probably over two years ago. And continued to do so. I really recommend it if you're looking for the lightwieght movable hairspray for a summer day or a day out in the city. -

Omigosh! I love this product. A little goes a long way.. You barely need any! I have REALLY oily face, and all you need is a little dab. too much product will streak, and wont absorb in. Trust me. great for oily eyelids. When you start using the product, and your tube has some room for the product to move around, start mixing it. Just squeeze the tube a bit, so your product instead of coming out kinda chunky, it will come out like a smooth mixture. Kept my face matte all day. Only 27$ at sephora. I've been using it for 2 years now and I love it. I also find that when I use it alone with no makeup, it kinda acts like a MAC plus fix. It kinda tones out my face. But that's just me. Great product. I highly recommend it. -
