This concealer gives me really good coverage for blemishes. I have a ton of redness around my chin as well as my nose and temple. I got the Medium Beige shade off ebeauty.ca. It doesn't look too cakey or obvious that I'm wearing concealer. I'd def recommend if you use concealer on a daily basis. -

It really is hit and miss. Only go here if you're patient and willing to take some time to search for items you want.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream
It's not the BEST moisturizer I've ever tried, but it's definitely not the worst. It goes on pretty well onto the face but I found that the moisture didn't last too too long.

I usually go to the drugstore to buy blowdryers. I've bought a Revlon hairdryer but find it didn't work very well. I love this Andis hair dryer cause it's super cute (pink!!) and it blow dries well without being too loud. It's a pretty good price for a blow dryer. For the record I have limp, thin hair, so I blowdry my hair with a round bristle brush in the mornings before work to make my strands look fuller and thicker. -

I got this instead when I ran out of my Nars blush/bronzer duo. It was slightly cheaper and I wanted to try the "LOVE" colour cause it was super cute. It has a larger pink blush and a highlighting colour crescent beside it that's sort of a pale banana yellow. I use the blush on the apples of my cheeks, and the highlighters above my cheek bones. I've also tried highlighting the length of my nose to create the illusion of a longer face. I find that while the compact's pretty small for a blush/bronzer, it works fairly well and I can carry it around because it's not too bulky (unlike the Nars case). It applies on the cheeks well but isn't super heavy in terms of coverage. I think I'd recommend it. -
It Cosmetics Smile Brightening Blue Lip Gloss

I was really curious to see if this lip gloss would work. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any difference. My teeth didn't seem any whiter or more "vibrant". I get that the blue tint in the gloss could offset the yellowness of teeth, but I don't think it's worth purchasing a $32 gloss just for a very slight, if any, improvement. I don't think I would recommend this - though I would recommend regular brushing, flossing, and Listerine! :P -
Clairol Natural Instincts Vibrant

I got a lot of compliments for using this semi-permanent dye. I have black hair and dyed it a dark espresso-y brown (I forgot the exact shade name, sorry!). It made my hair look natural but it had this rich, beautiful tone to it. The best part is it's not permanent, so I can experiment with different hues after about a month or so! :) I think I'm going to try the jet-black or blue-black shades next and see if that complements my skin tone at all. -
Frederic Fekkai Classic Brush

This is going to sound insane but this brush is awesome. A $100 for a hairbrush sounds awful, but it's less than all the crappy hairbrushes I've bought at the drugstore over the past few years. It's definitely a quality brush, and I have fine hair that gets staticky especially in the winter, so I can't afford to have a hairbrush that adds to that static. It's made of natural boar bristles so when you brush your hair, it gives it a nice shine and it's not rough on your strands the way plastic bristles can be. I can tell it'll last me a long time :) Yay for Frederic Fekkai! -
NARS Blush
I bought the Laguna/Orgasm Blush-Bronzer Duo. It lasted me 4 years people. 4 years!! I know that probably isn't very hygenic, but the duo is on its last legs now and so I'm going to probably buy a Nars Blush-Bronzer Duo again (perhaps the... +
I bought the Laguna/Orgasm Blush-Bronzer Duo. It lasted me 4 years people. 4 years!! I know that probably isn't very hygenic, but the duo is on its last legs now and so I'm going to probably buy a Nars Blush-Bronzer Duo again (perhaps the Angelika/Laguna one being sold on Sephora right now with the Angelika lip gloss).
The Orgasm blush is mostly great for all skin types, unless you are super super pale. It blends in very well and you can add buildable coverage to bronze your cheeks. And make sure you apply your bronzer properly - I watche Carmindy on TLC do it and she says to do a "C" shape from the sides of your forehead to under the cheekbone. Anyhoo, I'd definitely recommend the Orgasm bronzer. And I would doubly recommend getting the blush/bronzer duo for the best bang for your buck :)

Caudalie Lip Conditioner
Great vanilla taste! I would highly recommend it. Bought it off eBeauty.ca, that Canadian makeup site. I usually use Burt's Bees lip balm daily, and I would say this is on par with Burt's Bees quality.
