This was a decent product. The consistency of it is a thick cream with rough exfoliating particles. There's also 2 different kinds of AHA's in it.. so with the AHA and the particles I really don't recommend using it more than once a week because any more would be too much for the skin. I feel this is almost equivalent to a microdermabrasion. -

Just the product on it's own I did enjoy. It doesn't leave a white cast and it's liquidy so easy to blend into the skin. No intense fragrance either. I looked up the sunscreen ingredients and there has been studies shown to have an impact on your hormones. So I will no longer be using this product. -

The only positive thing I can say about this cream is that it is decently hydrating for dry skin. The fragrance of this cream is pretty strong.. so much so that I could actually smell it as the wind was blowing when I went outside. The "glow" this cream claims is just micro-pearls which can make you look Edward Cullen-like or you put on some liquid highlighter. I don't recommend wearing it alone or purchasing it if you're sensitive to fragrances. It also felt a bit tacky throughout the entire day. -
The Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
One of the best shampoos I've used. I have really dry scalp so my hair still gets flaky after it's been washed and dried. This has really helped in preventing that. The only downside is that there's sulfates so it's not good for coloured hair.

The Body Shop Blending Sponge
Nice try but no. First of all, the contour of the sponge is way too awkward especially around the nose and under eye area. Even the bottom of the sponge feels weird for the rest of the face. This soaks up too much product and it's also difficult to... +
Nice try but no. First of all, the contour of the sponge is way too awkward especially around the nose and under eye area. Even the bottom of the sponge feels weird for the rest of the face. This soaks up too much product and it's also difficult to see if there are any foundation left over when washing it. -
COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara
This mascara was kind of a dud. Did nothing to hold up the curl and it dries out really easily. It takes a while to build up the product so unless you're into the natural look this is not worth it.

BEST MASCARA EVER! Holds up the curl like no other.. and thats definitely a struggle for me because my lashes tend to lose the curl half way through the day. I wear makeup for over 12 hours so to see it still curled nicely at the end of the day before I wash my makeup off is amazing!! -

For as long as I can remember, this might be the first silicone-free primer I've used a little bit longer than the typical one-time use than most samples. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin whenever I use this primer (especially from people who don't wear or don't know much about makeup) so I definitely consider this a win. I believe it's about $30-35 CDN at Shoppers and occasionally bonus points are given out. So definitely will be repurchasing once I'm done all of my primers!

Batiste Dry Shampoo PLUS Heavenly Volume
Got this for free thru CA. Does what it says. I have long hair so its hard for me to have volume. this gave some refreshing lift in my hair. It soaks up a majority of the grease from my hair.

This is my first liquid eyeliner so there isn't much that I can compare. I purchased it during a warehouse sale because it was nearly half the retail price and my friend loves this so I figured if it didn't work for me I could give it to her. All I ask for in an eyeliner is long-lasting and smudge-proof and this pretty much has it down. I wear makeup for ~12 hours and this stuff holds up. This never fails me and it's fairly easy to control how thick of a line you want. Like I mentioned before, this is my first liquid liner so I do struggle to make the line I want but this is more of a user issue rather than the product itself. I would definitely repurchase this. -
