The leader in eye makeup remover! This luxurious oil eye makeup remover is fairly gentle (I personally need something a bit more soothing) and provides superior removal of any drop of product you could otherwise not erase. Very soft consistency with only about the size of a quarter spilt into a cotton pad necessary to remove a very dark smokey eye! Actually smells quite nice as well. Leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth! Use this on its own or add it to your facial towelettes for a deep clean. I have never used a better eye makeup remover! -
Mac Cosmetics Pro Pigment Powder Eye Shadow
Holy Pigment!! Nothing else compares to these loose powders! Lasts forever (application requires the smallest amount of product), colour goes on true, super easy to blend, and at a very reasonable price for such a premium product. Be careful though!... +
Holy Pigment!! Nothing else compares to these loose powders! Lasts forever (application requires the smallest amount of product), colour goes on true, super easy to blend, and at a very reasonable price for such a premium product. Be careful though! Use a flat stiff brush for application in order to prevent some serious fallout. Absolutely recommend this for special nights out, bridal makeup and engagement shoots! Incredibly glamorous! -

A fairly good concealer but Make Up For Ever's Lift Concealer is much more effective at a similar price point! Although I like the light water-based consistency of this product (and the fact that it blends incredibly well!), I did find that I had to apply more pressed powder under my eyes to maintain a bright appearance. It does tend to fade a bit after a long day but for shorter periods of 4-6 hours, it holds up very well. As with any concealer though, I would personally recommend using this product after foundation. Pretty average performance for its price point although I am a bit fan of the tiny nose on the applicator. -

Great alternative for a salty potato chip craving! Rather than choosing a main stream brand, I always go for these ones as part of more health conscious thinking... and they're actually great! Most flavours contain minimal ingredients and all things I actually recognize! My favourites are the Unsalted, Jalapeño, and Pepperoncini :) Yum! GF, natural ingredients, and no preservatives!! These potato chips are everything I dream of in a salty snack. Super tasty, great variety of flavours, and reasonably priced. These are also available at practically every grocery store out there! Love Kettle Brand Chips! A staple in my junk food cabinet! -

This used to be my go to mascara! Great for a lengthening or volumizing product (or use the lengthening insert prior to volumizing use for a more dramatic look). I personally didn't find this mascara clumpy at all despite what other users have written. As a stickler for expiry dates though, I would advise everyone to ask their MAC consultant to go over expiry dates prior to purchase in store. Many sales reps fail to check for this as they are simply eager to make a sale (and about 3% commission!). Also, as there are two caps here, be sure to tightly seal both of these before you have finished up with this product. It makes a huge difference in how long your mascara will last! Mascaras should also not be used past 3 months after initial application! From my experience with this formula, I found the mascara creamy and easily painted onto eyelashes. However, I did find that at least two coats were necessary for a dramatic evening makeup look. For day time use though, using the lengthening applicator just once over the eyes creates the perfect real look. The applicator is a great size for those with small lashes as well. Recommended! -

Amazingly pigmented, smooth and super long lasting gloss! Although it smells a bit funky and as other reviewers have pointed out is incredibly sticky, as far as appearance and effectiveness goes, this is an excellent choice! While I'd recommend having your hair up or pulled back and the rest of your touch ups done prior to application, there are few other lip glosses available that come close to these. The colour does not fade and goes on exactly as you see it; you don't need to pump or apply more than one coat either, and a single bottle will last you at least 6 months even with daily usage (based on my experience of one touch up a day). The in bottle applicator is also great and dispenses just a bit more than you need (I normally run it along the inside rim to lessen the amount of product on it before application). Absolutely recommend this despite its sticky texture! -
Gardein Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers

Although I don't actually taste chipotle or lime in this chicken finger meat free alternative (the only reason I've given this product a 4.5 rather than a 5 for taste), this is an excellent dinner or lunch entree! Ready in about 20-25 minutes and fairly light for a breaded product. Great taste, easy to make, and a great value when on sale! I stock up my entire freezer when Save On Foods offers Gardein products at $2.99 or half price (so many great items to choose from)! Great product for both vegans and meat eaters who enjoy the occasional meatless Monday :) This is the perfect transition line! The texture is so much more believable than other meat free alternatives! Your meat loving friends will be beside themselves. Love these crispy fingers served with plum sauce, a cucumber mint yogurt dip, or a home made chipotle lime dip (as the name implies)! Super tasty and makes a great alternative to fast food! Also perfect for adding to wraps or other meals you'd like to enhance with a meat free alternative. -

The perfect treat for on the go moms, families, and university students!! This is such an easy entree to make and takes only 20-25 minutes from start to finish! Simply cook your chick'n meat-free patties for 15-20 minutes and then warm your buns alongside them for the final 5 minutes. Tastes amazing baked (I personally don't microwave a thing!!!). The buns are malleable enough to add other toppings like cucumber slices, tomato slices, carrots shredding, lettuce, and kale as well! A hit with both kids and adults :) meat lovers and vegans alike!! Constantly on sale at Save On Foods, so stock up next time your local store has them on sale... you will be glad you did! Tastes just like real chicken, is lightly breaded and full of flavour but can also be enhanced using Frank's Red Hot, Chipotle Veganaise Gourmet, or another favourite sauce. Highly recommended! -

Originally purchased these vegan chick'n wings for a wings night with my meat loving husband! I have never been more impressed with a vegan product! These taste just like the real thing and blend perfectly with whatever sauce you choose to flavour them with (not just the included sauce packet). I've used both teriyaki and Frank's Red Hot and absolutely loved the experience. Perfect meat like texture and can be baked in your oven in only 20-25 minutes (I prefer my sauces hot though and will thus cook them for an additional 5-10 minutes in sauce). Make a great substitute for a vegan on wings night :) and additionally, can also be used for other recipes like yakitori or cut into thin slips for subs or pizza! Use it just like meat! Super convincing for the meat lovers in your life, extremely easy and versatile to use, and much tastier than other meat free alternative company offerings like Yves and Tofurky! This is a must try for foodies everywhere! -

So convincing, even my husband loves it! This is the absolute best substitute for a beefless ground on the market AND gluten free, woohoo! Very savoury, full of flavour, and chews just like the real thing... no gummy chewy consistency! Made this in a pasta one time and my dad (a real meat lover!) had no clue his meal was entirely vegan. This is the perfect transition food for meat lovers looking to make a conscious switch or those who enjoy a meatless Monday now and then! Save On Foods consistently has Gardein products on sale about once a month as well, so you can stock up your freezer for about $2.99 a package (of this product as well as others from the Gardein line)!! Makes at home dining so much easier when you are on the go. An excellent choice for busy moms, college students, and the health and environmentally conscious! Very affordable, easy to make, and super versatile. Make anything from moussaka, layered nachos, and even a beefless pot pie! -
