This keeps my skin hydrated and plump when I wake up in the morning after applying this at night before bed. I mix it with my liquid foundations sometimes to give an extra boost of hydration and it makes my foundation look smoother and overall better. Definitely will repurchase. -

This is a solid oil that will immediately melt upon contact with skin because of body heat. I usually start with applying it on my face and do my eye makeup last because I don't want to drag the eye makeup around the rest of my face. I find that this gets my eye makeup more effectively with very minimal residue so that's always a plus. At $16 (or less with promo) this is definitely a repurchase. -
The Body Shop British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask
This is a decent mask but nothing really special. My skin does feel nice and moisturised after I use it each time but that is usually what happens with any mask.. so this wasn't really anything special.

My dad has extremely dry and peeling feet so I gave this to him since I needed to fulfill the minimum purchase for an online order. He made it a point to tell me how good it was and that he doesn't need to use much because it's so moisturising. So I will definitely repurchase this for him. -

First off, I got this for free thru CA so thank you for that. I've tried a few foundation sticks before but I was actually surprised to find that this was actually creamier than I expected. It went onto my skin easier and did not emphasise any dry spots. The shade I got looked really yellow on me when I first applied it but seemed to match my skin tone. I don't find that my forehead is as oily by the end of the day (~12 hrs) compared to other foundations I've used (stick, liquid, cream etc.) I would say this is a medium coverage foundation but it did fade throughout the day. On Sephora this retails for about $50 CDN. Unfortunately at that price tag I most likely will not be repurchasing it. However, it is a decent foundation ...just not at that price. -

First off, I was given this for free in exchange for an honest review so honest review I shall give.
I enjoy using this because it gives a slight cooling sensation when I apply it. I do feel that this provides adequate moisture but don't think it would be enough for those who have really dry skin. I usually use this at night since it doesn't have any sun protection before bed. However, the price is a little steep considering this is a drugstore product and for the quantity as well so that would be the main reason I wouldn't repurchase it. My favourite part of it is that the packaging is sanitary and isn't see-through thus ingredients aren't exposed to unnecessary light.

Unfortunately this stuff isn't good enough to imitate the gooey chocolate in lava cakes.. which one restaurant I went to tried.

I dye my hair every few months with this stuff because I've heard negative reviews about the cheaper hair dyes out there. This was also the first box dye I got my hands on during a warehouse sale so I figured if my hair was messed up at least I didn't pay $100+ for it. I'm happy with the results. I wash my hair everyday so I do expect color to fade faster.Surprisingly this stuff doesn't fade even when I use drugstore brand (i.e. Tresemme, Dove) colored safe shampoos. -

I had been wanting to try this so seeing this on sale gave me the boost I needed to actually purchase it. It is definitely one of the most effective cleansing oil I've used thus far.I even use it to wash my makeup tools because I can still see some makeup residue on my makeup tools with my regular cleanser and I was not about to put that on my face. -
