I like to switch up my shampoos on a regular basis, especially in between seasons since my hair and skin become extremely dry in the winter. This shampoo has 3 different oils (avocado, almond and olive) and is meant for extra-dry and damaged hair. My hair probably isn't quite that bad off, but I do like to use an extra moisturizing shampoo to keep my hair in good condition.
It works just as well as plenty of other moisturizing shampoos I've used, and has a really pleasant fruity scent (but if you're sensitive to fragrance, you should probably avoid this one!) I can't say it works better than other shampoos, but it's reasonably priced so if you're looking to switch up your routine, this is a nice one to try.

This product claims to help with 5 things: dark circles, bags, puffiness, lines, and crepey lids. It comes in a glass bottle and has a pump dispenser.
I've tried a few other eye creams and usually haven't noticed a lot of improvement around the eye area. I've been using this contour cream for a few weeks and the skin around my eyes is definitely more hydrated. As for reducing lines, bags, circles, etc., I haven't seen much difference. Maybe I need to keep using it for longer, but honestly, I've been told that sleep is the only cure! I'll keep using this product, but might not shell out the dough to re-purchase again.

I keep my hair care routine pretty simple, and will use a restoring/repairing hair mask about once a week. I like this particular one from L'Oreal because it puts moisture back in my hair and leaves it soft, shiny, and manageable. It's free of parabens, sulfates, and is 100% vegan, which is fantastic because I try to avoid the first two in any products I use. -

My lashes are short and barely-there, so I'm always looking for a mascara that can work wonders because I need everything - volume, definition, separation, and thickness!
I've purchased (and re-purchased) this particular one from L'Oreal several times. Out of dozens of mascaras that I've tried, I really like the formulation of this one - it really makes my lashes look fuller and thicker. If it starts to get a little clumpy after a while, I use a clean brush and run it through my lashes to remove the clumps and define the lashes better.
This mascara is definitely a winner for me!

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara

I have short, skimpy, bare-there lashes so I'm pretty picky about my mascaras! I need them to add volume and length, and from the dozens of brands I've tried before, very few actually work for me.
I've only tried the Voluminous Million Lashes mascara a few times, but I'm not a big fan so far. It has a fat rubber bristle brush, which I find tends to not build as much volume, but is better for separation and definition. The formula is OK and doesn't smudge.
I will keep using it since I prefer the formulation when it isn't as "wet", and hope it starts to work a little better! For now, I apply this mascara first and then layer with another one that builds more volume.

I just bought this at a warehouse sale, and was so excited to try it because I've heard great things about NYX eye shadows. I love the colour selection in this smokey pallette, since I tend to use medium-dark shadows more than light ones. There are 6 shades: cream, light golden brown, rich navy, royal purple, black, and sparkly black. I'm not a big fan of sparkly shadow, but the other shades are really nice and are all you need to create a smokey look. The texture is soft and buttery, although there's a bit of fallout when I apply them. The pallette comes with a double-ended sponge-tip applicator, which is handy if you don't have brushes available. -

I love lemon-y desserts, and this flavour really hit the nail on the head! Not overly sweet, with just a big of tang. I think the product is really unique - they call it smooth cottage cheese, but it actually tastes like Greek yogurt. The texture is thick and creamy, and it has 10g of protein! I wish the sugar content was a bit lower (it's 12g), but I still think it's a better alternative to other low protein snacks. I've tried all 3 flavours and lemon is my favourite. -

Love Coffee-mate! I've tried Original and French Vanilla, and definitely preferred the Original because I like drinking flavoured coffee. I like to make coffee at work every morning, but it's hard to keep milk/creamer in the shared fridge (food gets thrown out all the time), so I rely on this stuff to take that edge off black coffee. I do wonder what kind of chemicals/strange ingredients are in the product though, so at some point I'll try adding just powdered milk to my coffee and see if it makes a difference. I'd also like the sugar content (7g per serving) to be reduced. -

I'm a big fan of the original flavour Nescafe coffee powder mix, and was excited to try this when I saw it in my grocery store. It's too sweet for my liking (although the original is sweet too), and the vanilla flavour is just OK. I really wish they would come out with a less sweet option, because at 13g of sugar per serving, it's too much for me to be drinking one or two of these a day! -

I have the lavender coloured one in the light/medium shade. If you're looking for a very light coverage colour-correcting cream, then this will fit the bill! If, however, you are looking for a foundation replacement and want fuller coverage, then this may not be enough. You can definitely see your skin underneath and some redness still shows through for me, but it gives a nice, natural look overall. It's a bit thicker than I would prefer and my skin feels a bit tacky afterwards. -
