Well I'll start off by saying that I got mine at the dollar store! Not the full size of course, but it works just the same, and I only spent a dollar!
This lotion is really nice because it's pretty thin, so is perfect for not only your body, but your hands as well!
Another great trait is that is smells gorgeeeouuuss! It's such a fresh, girly scent!
Come on, who doesn't like Bamboo Milk? :P

L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara

This was one of the worst mascaras I have ever used.
The commercials made it look amazing (don't they all? :P) and when I tried it, it made my eyelashes the total opposite of what I wanted.
I like my lashes, big, black, long, hard and dramatic!
All this mascara did was put an insanely thin layer on (no matter how many layers I did) and made them really flexible and flimsy, and it just clumped! It didn't seperate my eyelashes at all.
I really don't see how L'Oreal Paris thought this would work, because it's terrible :(
I think you'd be wasting your money unless you want short, thin eyelashes.

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Shine Control Facial Cleanser

I, personally, am not a fan of this cleanser.
It dries out my skin wayy too much, it was not cheap, the smell is not as great as they make it seem, and the little bursting beads are already burst by the time you finish rubbing it in your hands :(
It did nothing for my mild acne, if anything, it made it worse from over-cleaning. I guess it's just too harsh for my skin. Maybe it would work better for someone with oily skin.
The one thing I do love about it though is the tingling feeling it gives :) It makes you feel pretty refreshed, especially first thing in the morning.

This is, hands down, the best exfoliator I have ever used.
I use it in the shower on my face and all over my body.
It exfoliates like CRAZY! You probably didn't even realize you had so much dead skin! It makes your skin extremely soft, and takes away all the flakes and dryness.
It's not something you can use everyday though because it's very harsh on your skin (Unless you get the sensitive skin kind) to use so often.
It's also great to use on your legs and armpits before shaving so your razor doesn't get as clogged up with deoderant, lotion, and dead skin.
Like all exfoliants though, make sure to use a moisturizer immediately after use to make sure your skin doesn't dry out.
P.S. It's EXTREMELY cheap! I usually get mine at Walmart for $3 :D

The idea of this is really great, especially that it's enviromentally-friendly and definitely saves money!
I, personally, though didn't find it a great experience...
1. It's very very messy! Taking it out can result in it splashing, spilling, or getting on your hands/everywhere!
2. The stem. I cut mine to almost nothing, but I can still feel it stabbing the inside of me.
3. It's too big. I wish it would come in a smaller size because it ends up making you feeling very stretched out once you take it out.
4. A lot of the time it doesn't fully open when inserted, but at a random time throughout the day (after leaking) it can pop open which is really painful!
I don't know if it's just the shape/angle of my body that it doesn't work as well with, but I know people that the Diva cup has worked for great! And I do love the idea of it, I really wish I could use it more often! I definitely think it's worth a try! (Sorry for the mixed opinions, but it's exactly how i feel!)

The first time I tried Advil Liqui-Gels was at a friend's house, I had the WORST cramps I've ever had and she gave me 2 Advil Liqui-Gels. In literally 15 minutes my cramps were gone!
I have been buying these ever since.
They work amazing on cramps, headaches, and bodily pains (I've even used it on sore throats before :) )
I definitely recommend these to everyone, they're the best pain-relievers out there!

O.B. Tampons

These tampons are so small that you can stick them in your pocket, bra, bag, wallet, etc.
The newer ones also have "Silk Touch" which means they're not as cottony as they used to be because there's a smooth layer around the whole tampon/tip so it's a much easier insertion.
The great thing about o.b.s is that they're very environmentally friendly. The package is extremely small, even with the 40-packs, and there's no applicator/plastic packaging, only a tiny strip of thin plastic to keep the tampon safe.
They also come with tips inside the box on how to protect the environment.
The only thing is that they're a bit pricey, but Shoppers has them on sale very often!

They're very small and handy and come in lots of colours!

I have been using these tampons for years now.
The best part about them is the applicator. It's exceptionally smooth with a rounded tip, you will probably never feel another tampon applicator so easy and comfortable to insert!
Great for medium-low flow.
The top of the string is braided to stop leaks.
The plastic is very pretty and soft, not crinkly and bulky.
They smell like jelly beans and flowers! :D
The only down side to these tampons is that they're fairly expensive, running around $6-$8 (Canadian) for a pack of 18.

These elastics are literally the number 1 kind I would recommend.
I bought a pack of them a year ago and am STILL using them!
There is no metal piece in the middle, so there is nothing to pull your hairs out will when removing the elastic.
They come in pretty neutral colours which is nice if you want a more classy look.
They stretch a lot so you don't have to wrap it around too many or too little times.
The only thing about them is they're a tab pricey for elastics, but still the best kind in my opinion!

I apply this creme to my hair once or twice a day.
It makes your hair very silky, smooth, and shiny! It is also very good at flattening fly-aways or little frizzies of hair.
You don't need to use very much, just a dime-size or smaller for your whole hair (I guess it depends on the length; mine is long).
I don't recommend using it on the roots, because like many smoothing creams and sprays, it could make your hair greasy, especially if you have oily skin.
It is also a good, small size to stick in your purse.
The only thing about it is that apparently it is supposed to bring out the brown tones in your hair, but I honestly don't see a difference in colour.
