Great long lasting mascara that doesn't smudge!
I did like how this mascara really made my lashes look very full and black. It held the curl in my lashes very well and didn't smudge on my lower lashline (I have a real problem with this with any mascara). The brush was interesting, I found that if you aren't careful the short "bristles" can make your lashes a bit clumpy but it is easily remedied my applying a bit more gingerly or using a lash comb.
I probably would buy this mascara again but there are so many others to try!

This has been my deodorant for years!
I find there aren't many options for aluminium free antiperspirants/deodorants. I found this on sale at shoppers and fell in love ever since.
The smell is pretty light and I find it keeps me dry enough on hot days. Then again I don't excessively sweat or have much BO (my mom never use deodorant and she never smelled *shrug*) I used to not wear antiperspirant unless it was a gym day back when I was in school and no one commented that I was smelly (maybe they were too polite?).
So with that I never felt the need but always felt slightly self conscious during the summer. With this deodorant it keeps me pretty dry and smelling pretty fresh all day.
Overall I'm pretty impressed for the few options there are for aluminum free products this is pretty good in my book.

I have this as a sample.
To me is smelled very floral, gardenia and jasmine.
On me the florals linger for quite awhile and he dry down is to a sweet creamy amber. The lasting power was pretty good. I'm not a big fan of this perfume mainly because I like softer florals that lean to the cleaner side then a big bouquet.
However, I think a lot of women would like this, even though it's quite floral it isn't "grandma" at all. There is a hint of fruitiness to it that makes it a more appealing to younger women and the smell is quite lush so I think it's a lovely perfume in that people of varying ages could wear it and love it.

Smells very unisex, very clean, green, and fresh.
I've heard this smells very much like Marc Jacob Man which is also fig prominent.
I love this stuff and the lasting power is quite good for a light eau de toilette. The opening scent is very green and lush and the dry down is to a woodsy creamy fig. I personally think women would love this scent since it's quite unique compared to other green fruity smells like Marc Jacob's Daisy of D&G;Light Blue but I would say they are in the similar family of the light green, citric, floral, clean types of scents.
The bottle is huge so it may seem a tad pricey up front you get a lot and the lasting power is good so you really get the bang for your buck. This is my all day everyday perfume and I've barely made a dent in it. You have to be careful handling this huge glass bottle, it is a bit tricky to spray and hold since it's quite heavy and large.
I know the new edition of Splashes are smaller but you can always pick up these last seasons on many websites.

This is a very unique scent for me personally. It's my night scent and when I put it on it's like putting on your favorite slinky black dress, sexy and powerful.
It smells like wet violets, muskiness, and slight vanilla but quite unisex smelling, not your sweet fruity typical feminine scent. I'm not very good at describing scents but I do know I love this scent.
The lasting power is decent it dries down to a musky slight vanilla scent.

I have this in Berry Darling and Merlot at Midnight.
These are very pigmented and quite finely milled so it's quite easy to apply too much and it can be difficult to blend out. Brand new these blushes looked beautiful with the gold overspray. The gold shimmer is still there after the overspray is gone with the 5 golden dots in the powder. Since these are discontinued you can find these blushes at very good prices at warehouse sales.

Love ecotool brushes!
The blush brush is nice and soft I do find the bristles can be a tad coarse for more powdery blushes and can make for a messy application. With normal blush consistencies that aren't very powdery this brush does the job wonderfully. A great inexpensive tool. They're really easy to clean, don't shed, and hold up very well.

I love this brush!
The white fibers are fine and soft so they pick up the powder easily. The shape of the brush makes it easy to just dip the tip of the brush to get a small amount of product and the roundness and fluffiness allow for easy blending.
I find this blush is good for all things powder from setting powder to bronzer and contour just because the shape is so versatile. It's a bit tricky for contouring but with a light hand and just using the tip of the brush it is doable.
I want all her other brushes now!

I have this in Coral Beach from the Safari Collection. I purchased this from the Shopping Channel website.
I love how this gives a nice bronze flushed look perfect for the summer time. During the summer I don't put on anything else but this and some lip gloss. It has a nice sheen which is also nice for the summer months to give you a nice glowy look.
This is also a nice travel blush since some of the stripes can be used as eyeshadows.

I have this in the color Douceur a matte rose brown color.
This is the perfect color for a subtle cheek, it adds definition and a hint of rose for color. The pigmentation is light for a NARS product but it suits it's purpose for a subtle cheek. I've swatched other colors that have crazy pigmentation. The texture of the powder is soft but not powdery, it blend beautifully on the skin and can be built up without being powdery.
I hope to be purchasing more NARS blushes in the future, I have my eye on Sin for my next purchase!
