Smashbox X-Rated Mascara
I really liked this. It's the right shade of black. It's a wet formula, but keeps a curl and won't weigh lashes down. It separates, defines, volumes and lengthens. You won't get spidery lashes, clumps, and any crunchyness. It builds nicely but looks... +
I really liked this. It's the right shade of black. It's a wet formula, but keeps a curl and won't weigh lashes down. It separates, defines, volumes and lengthens. You won't get spidery lashes, clumps, and any crunchyness. It builds nicely but looks best with a few coats. It won't flake, but does smudge under my eyes just a bit when it's really hot out. -

I loved this. It made my super dull skin glow. I also have sensitive skin and this felt amazing on it. I have pretty intense discolouration and this completely evened out my skin tone. I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing in the mirror. I never leave the house with a full face of makeup, but feel confident to go out without foundation. It is a bit sticky, so I recommend using it before bed and not washing your face after removing the mask for full benefits. -

I love this product. It's so affordable and leaves my skin feeling super soft and clean. It also really evens out my skin tone, which is an added bonus I didn't expect, and something I usually use a lot of foundation to hide. I use this whether or not I'm having a breakout. It does help clear up breakouts faster. -

Of all the softlips products a received I preferred the luxe tubes. Although I thought I'd like the coconut more, this one was my favourite. The coconut one had almost no scent at all, but this one has a really pretty & sweet shea scent. I love the formula, which is light, not waxy, and absorbs and moisturizes very quickly. This is a great summer/spring/fall product. It pairs well under lipstick. The packaging is a little bulky for a Chapstick, but much better than the cube. While I do really like this product I do feel like the packaging is a little misleading. It does hydrate, replenish & smooth. But it absorbs too quickly to really protect, and it doesn't have any spf. While it does add shine, it's somewhat short lived. But does give you healthier looking lips, which I guess would naturally have more shine than chapped lips. -

I'm really loving these new soft lips chap sticks, but berry bliss is my least favourite. The scent reminds me of the berry flavoured tums. They are moisturizing, but absorb very quickly. Which is what I prefer in the summer/spring/fall. They are really light & pair well with lipstick. Because they are a thinner formula I can see going through one stick rather quickly. I am not the biggest fan of the packaging. They are cute at first, but it's easy to ruin them when recaping, and they're just super bulky to take around. -
Softlips® CUBE Lip Moisturizer - Fresh Mint
Love how these are moisturizing yet still light & quick absorbing. The mint leaves you with a fresh tiglingly sensations. If you like the eos balms, you'll be a fan of these. I personally am not crazy about the cube shape, I find it a little too... +
Love how these are moisturizing yet still light & quick absorbing. The mint leaves you with a fresh tiglingly sensations. If you like the eos balms, you'll be a fan of these. I personally am not crazy about the cube shape, I find it a little too bulky to carry around, but like how it sits on a counter. -

When I first read about this nail polish I thought it sounded a little gimmicky but was definitely proven wrong. If chick advisor didn't send me this product to test out, I probably never would have purchased it on my own. While it did not make it to seven days, I'm pretty happy with how long it did hold up for. Most nail polishes tend to start chiping for me before they even hit the 24 hour mark. Both drug store and higher salon quality polishes. I would say I got a solid 4 days wear from this. I did find it a little streaky though, and not as pigmented as I would like, but apparently that isn't as much an issue with the bolder colours. It also dried fairly quickly (without any drying drops), which is another big selling point for me. I will definitely be buying this line in the future. -

I have super combination skin, half my skin is painfully dry (especially in the winter & early spring) and the other half is very oily. Which means it's very hard finding a moisturizer that works for me. After testing this out for a couple of days I can confidently says this is very gentle (not to worry if you have sensitive skin) and actually performs very well as a moiturizing (goodbye flaky, tightly patches). The only thing is I have noticed it has a tendency to sort of sit on top of my skin & not fully absorb. Which just means this has become my designated night cream. It doesn't make the oily areas worst (but definitely doesn't slow down the oil production, which I surprisingly have actually seen in other recent moiturizers meant for dry skin), but I think it doesn't create the best canvas to place makeup on top off.
Overall I still would recommend this, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.

Im sort of on the fence about these wipes. On the one had they are incredibly gentle while still being really refreshing and moisturizing. They don't sting, burn, irritate, or leave any blotchy red spots, even around the eye area. They also are strong enough not to fall apart when used a little roughly (which we shouldn't be doing, but it's nice to know you can). However, they aren't great at taking off a face full of makeup. Even when followed by the cleansing water. You'll still need to actually wash your face with soap & water. And they definitely can't handle eye makeup. For a quick freshening up at home or on the go for makeup free days, absolutely. For a touch of makeup, sure, but anything more than that I'd look to a stronger wipe. They do however work great as a pre wash to get a good amount of makeup off, before a deep cleanse.
