Let's start with the good in this review, the design is cute, the smell is also pleasant and the price is fair.
I've been having terrible breakouts near my lips, chin and jawline for months without knowing what was breaking me out. I stripped down my whole routine to using only lotion and sunscreen in the morning then double cleansing and a cream at night. The five products I used have been products I've used for years without problems. At first I thought it was because one of the products may have changed their ingredients but after researching nothing has changed. I've also stopped using any sort of makeup products on my face since my breakouts. Eventually I lost my eos lip balm so I've had no choice but to stop using it. My breakouts stopped within days! I thought it was a coincidence so after my breakouts have cleared I bought a new eos and used it again. Lo and behold, my breakouts came back the next day of using it. I've Googled and found a lot of other users who have had the same issues as me. It's definitely not an isolated incident and I would advise anyone to do their own research.
I would never recommend this product to anyone I know and would not support this brand.

I got a sample of this in a subscription box and have since purchased two full size bottles in different colors. A little bit of this product goes a long way. I usually only apply a needle point drop on each cheekbone and its more than enough. This blends so effortlessly and melts into your skin easily. My favorite color has to be Moonlight. It gives it a bit of color without being too harsh. I love this product is Canadian and will support Canadian brand as much as possible. -

I was skeptical with this palette due to the overwhelming negative reviews. I love the colors and decided to buy it anyways and I wish I bought it earlier.
There are two variations of this palette and the reformulation is much easier to use. The ingredient list is almost 3 times longer than the original formula.
I have the reformulated palette and the color payoff is out of this world. I only need to lightly dip into the pan for a lot of color. It isn't the easiest to blend so it takes practice and patience.
Since I only need a tiny bit of product for the full look this palette would last me for years to come. I would recommend this palette to anyone that adores high color payoff palettes.

I bought a cream from Lancome and recieved this as a gift. I have always been curious with this serum and was delighted to try it out. It's a small bottle but it lasted me about 2-3 weeks of daily use so a little does goes a long way. As for effectiveness it really did nothing else but made my skin smoother. I believe this serum is meant to be used for a very long period of time to see any sort of change. Unfortunately I would not purchase the full size to see if there will be any lasting effects. -

I bought this product hoping it would be a comparable dupe for my beloved Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. Unfortunately it did close to nothing for my skin. For $50+ I was hoping this serum was somewhat close to ELANR but it just sat on my skin without much help. I would not recommend this product as a dupe for the Estee Lauder as it isn't comparable. -

I received a sample of this a few week back and have since purchased a full size because I loved it so much! Amazing floral scent without being over the top or too pungent. Three sprays would last me about 5 or 6 hours. The design is also nice on a vanity. I would definitely purchase this again. -

I got at a Clearance sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $1.50. I wasn't expecting much because I have been disappointed so many times with lip glosses being sticky or patchy. To my surprise this formula is rather moisturizing and the color isn't patchy. The color is very pretty and shiny. The applicator is a sponge that has 8 tiny holes where the product is dispensed. It has a shea butter scent which gives it the hydrating property. The full price is $7.00 which is a steal. I would definitely repurchase this when I am finished with this. -

I got this mascara at a clearance sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $3.00 or so. At this price point I have no complaints, however I probably wouldn't pay $10 for this mascara. I got the "Length Lash - Lengthening Mascara". It has a sleek black plastic package and it is easy to apply the mascara on my lashes. I did see a bit of lengthening as with all mascara on the market. It did clump after the second layer. It has a fairly strong scent to it. Overall this mascara is decent but I probably wouldn't repurchase this. -

I think with all major brands they have an iconic product. With Mac, it's their lipstick, namely their Ruby Woo Lipstick. This shade looks great on any skin color and makeup looks. The color payoff is amazing and a little goes a long way. Mac lipsticks have a hydrating formula and wouldn't dry out your lips like a lot of other lipsticks.
The pricing is very reasonable given the color payoff. They also have a program that gives you a free lipstick for every 7 regular design empties. You save money along with saving the planet.

I bought this serum hoping it would replace my other much-too-expensive vitamin C serum and I am in love! This serum is under $6 per ounce and it is quite possibly the cheapest vitamin C serum in the market. This serum is STRONG and I wouldn't recommend to those that haven't built a tolerance for it. I also strongly recommend a sunscreen daily even though you would indoors daily. I use this after cleansing my face and hydrating toner. Then I would apply sunscreen on top.
My face hasn't been this clear since high school! This serum has a slightly gritty texture and it could be harsh for daily use for beginners. It doesn't have any particular smell to it with a simple squeeze plastic bottle.
I would recommend anyone who is interested in using vitamin C in their routine to try this. For beginners it would be best to use it only two or three times a week till tolerance is built.
