I received a sample of this stuff in my Ipsy this month, and I was so impressed I went out and bought the full-sized product. It's WAY expensive for the amount of product you get, which is really the only downside.
It's considerably different than other primers I've tried, since it's not silicone based. I've found with silicone primers, the make up slides right off my face, but with this one it actually stayed on longer than I ever would have expected. It goes on like a moisturizer, and smells really good.
I don't know if I'd recommend buying the full sized product unless you really have the cash to throw around, it's a great primer but I'm still not sure if it's actually worth the price.

I must have seriously sensitive skin, because I absolutely cannot use this product. I remember trying it out when I was first getting into beauty ages ago, and it made my pre-pubescent acne so much worse, so I swore it off for life... until I found it at Walmart last week and decided "what the hey, I'll give it another go." Holy was I ever wrong; my face is absolutely rebelling against this stuff.
It cleans my skin well, and it smells really good, but the next day I ended up with a war on my face. I haven't had acne this bad in years! It's like my pores went into overdrive.
Needless to say I passed it along to my mom, and I will not make the same mistake again!

Let me start off by saying I am not a beauty guru. I am a novice at best, although I do genuinely enjoy make up. That said, this palette was my very first 'high end' beauty purchase, and I am absolutely in love.
When you first open the palette, it smells delicious. I have never in my life owned an eyeshadow palette that I actually considered eating, but this one smells so good the thought has crossed my mind. The colours are great, not as bright and vibrant as I'd expect Bunny to be, but I know her goal for this palette was for it to be versatile, and I really think she nailed it.
The palette itself contains a blush, a bronzer, and a highlighter, as well as 9 eyeshadow shades, all of which have adorable names like "Mancat" and "Does this thing really work?" My personal favourite is the highlighter, "Gator Wings." Everything is very pigmented, and a little goes a long way. The colours also blend beautifully together, which makes it really easy to pull of a variety of different looks.
I personally only have two very small issues with the palette, the biggest being the fallout. I splurged major on this palette because I wanted it so badly, and it sucks to lose so much product, even when using a light hand. I use the palette sparingly to begin with, and am upset that some of my favourite shades are starting to get noticeable dips. I also find the gold glitter in "Gator Wings" to be a bit much, and find myself only really using it as a brow highlight, otherwise I end up covered in glitter.

I recently found this toothbrush while shopping at Walmart. I've been looking to try a home teeth whitening product, but wasn't ready to splurge on the $50 kits that take real commitment. This seemed like a simple (and considerably cheaper) addition to my daily routine, just brush and then apply the gel, and away I go. No gross trays or ridiculous strips, no wait times, no fuss.
I've been using it daily for about a week now, and I will say that I do notice an actual difference in my teeth. I had some fairly serious stains, and while by no means did I expect this product to get rid of them overnight, I'd like to think this is really helping. My teeth appear considerably less yellow, and my teeth are starting to look more 'normal.' I even find it helps fight against plaque buildup.
I am absolutely going to continue to use this, and will probably purchase another one when my gel runs out. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking to gradually whiten your teeth; don't expect pearly whites but it will definitely remove some of the coffee stains!

Lipton Enlighten Smooth Green Tea K-Cup Packs

Very good! I don't normally buy tea in K-cups as I find it to be very wasteful, but this wasn't bad for those days when you just don't have the time to boil water. Tasted okay, a little on the strong side which was surprising, usually I find anything in K-cup form way too weak. I'd recommend them to someone who really loves their Keurig, however I think I'm gonna stick to my kettle. -

GREAT cleaning product! I use this on my bathtub & shower, and it's absolutely wonderful. It has a light lemon scent that's not overly offensive, like some cleaning products can be, and it leaves everything sparkling clean. It's also a great price, with coupons I've been able to grab a few bottles for free. -

My absolute go-to body wash! It smells so, so good and leaves your skin feeling super soft and moisturized. I also really like how gentle it is. I have very sensitive skin and this has never made me react, which is a big plus in my book. The only downside is the price, I do find it a bit on the pricey side for body wash, but Dove is great with coupons, and it's on sale quite a lot. -

This razor was definitely not for me. I have coarser hair, and the blade gets clogged up after one pass! It's nearly impossible to clean out due to the lather bar, so I found myself going through replacement blades like crazy, and they aren't exactly cheap! I've gone back to using disposable razors, they work much better and last considerably longer.
I'm sure this would be great if you shave every day, or have thin hair, but it's a no for me!
