The Freeman face masks are probably the best value for quality face masks out there. I deal with oily, acne prone skin, with redness due to post acne marks. This face mask worked from the first time I used it. First of all, the mint and lemon is very mild, but leaves your face feeling so refreshed after use. I recommend using a small amount because this is a mask that tightens and dries, and using anything more than a minimal amount will take longer than the 10 minutes to harden. Secondly, the day after I used this product, I noticed right away my face was less oily. I usually have to blot all over my face twice a day to keep my oil under control, and I didn't have to do it once with this product. I also noticed that my post acne marks have become less noticeable as well. As long as I have acne prone skin, this is going to be the ONLY face mask I use. I can't believe how effective this product is, I can't recommend it enough! -

As my headline says, this is my new holy grail mascara. I've never found a mascara that adds so much volume and length to my lashes. I think I have very average length lashes, and this formula really separates and elongates my lashes, while adding volume. I've tried more expensive mascaras, and they don't compare to this product. I would recommend the waterproof version, because the regular did flake off occasionally, but only at the end of a very long day. The formula is fantastic in that you can really layer it to build volume, without your lashes looking like a clumpy mess. If you want a nice dramatic, but not over the top mascara, I would absolutely recommend this product -- especially for women looking for high quality product at an affordable price. -

I swooped up a couple of these as a free sample right as they became available in stores. I was a little hesitant because I'm not a fan of instant coffee, but these are a game changer. I thought the 'regular/original' flavour was alright, but the french vanilla is delicious! I found it a little too sweet with the amount of water recommended, so I just added more and it still tasted fine. It doesn't have a strong coffee flavour, and I would argue it's closer to a tinned cappuccino mix than a true cup of coffee with flavouring. After sampling, I purchased the mocha flavour, which I thought was good (not super chocolatey), but no comparison to the french vanilla. The little packets are very convenient and easy to take with you wherever you go. These would be very easy to bring to work and on holidays. There are 18 packets per box, which equals out to 28 cents a drink -- I think that's a bargain! -
NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer Normal Skin

I purchased this primer because I have yet to find a primer product that works really well with my skin. I have acne prone skin (don't know if it's hormonal or bacterial) and was hesitant on which of the two available types to get. I'm so happy that I chose this over the other! This product is very gentle on my skin, doesn't break me out,, and doesn't feel like I'm wearing a primer. I love that it's a 2 in 1 product, so I don't have to double up with separate lotion and primer. Also, for the price that I paid, this size of container is almost double that of a regular primer, and at roughly the same or cheaper price. As for the product itself, a little goes a long way. It hydrates my skin very well and my skin feels very soft as a result. This primer keeps my makeup intact much better than my previous primer. I have oily skin, so sometimes it causes my makeup to look cakey after about 6+ hours of wear, but somehow I think this product controls my shine. Maybe its hydrating my face so well that my skin doesn't need to overcompensate with oils? I have no idea, but all I know is that my foundation and concealer looks better when using this product as a base. For the cost, I think it's definitely worth a try for anyone looking for a simpler product to add into their beauty routine. I think this product really takes care of your skin and gives it the proper nourishment it needs throughout the day. -

I received this product free in the mail to test out and review, and was unable to choose which scent I received. First of all, this lemon scent is like a lemon cleaner. If you don't fancy that, or like people I know where it can cause migraines, I'd go for another scent if you can (like the lavender). Overall, I would say that this product is very average. It is a strong scent which masks MOST of the smell, but it doesn't completely get rid of it. I found that this product mixed in with the smell just like a typical aerosol spray. I would say that this product works as well as an aerosol spray, but likely better for you. I didn't have high expectations for this product, but I was hoping that it would work as advertised and better than it did. It is convenient and small enough to travel with, but I don't think its effectiveness is up to my expectations. Unlikely to purchase again. -

I received a sample of this product with one of my Sephora online purchases. At first I was nervous to wear this scent because I had heard so many negative reviews about it. Once I spritzed this on, I realised right away that it had a very strong smell. It can be overpowering at times, but a little definitely goes a long way. I want to remark how well this perfume lasts on your skin -- if you've ever had an issue with perfume dissipating after a few hours, you won't experience that with this product. It lasts on your skin until the next day, and will likely last until you shower next. I've never had a perfume perform THAT well before! As for the scent itself, it's hard for me to put my finger on what exactly it is, but it's sweet smelling. To my nose, it doesn't smell floral -- it is warm and deep, definitely a fall/winter perfume. It isn't my favourite perfume scent, and I likely won't purchase it again for myself. But, I think for the quality and how long lasting the product is, it's definitely worth the price because it will last you forever! -

I received a sample packet of this product in the mail. I was really looking forward to trying this product out because makeup wipes tend to be too harsh and drying on my face, and I wanted something that would cleanse and moisturize to prevent that from happening. The first issue with is this product is that it doesn't remove makeup -- it removes just as much as if you were running water over your face and rubbing with your hands. It claims to remove waterproof mascara, but it couldn't even remove my regular (not waterproof) mascara or eyeliner. To me that just defeats the purpose of this product because it doesn't fulfill its claim. I can't even tell what the qualities of this product are after using, because after applying I have to wash my face with another cleanser to actually remove all my makeup. I'm so disappointed because I was really hoping to love this product! -

I purchased this palette at Marshall's for a much smaller price than Sephora or Too Faced's webpage, which is why I put the stars in the middle of the road. What I paid is much better than its regular price. Regardless, I'm so happy I purchased this palette. I have hazel eyes and all the shadow combinations work excellently with my eye colour. I love that there are many neutrals in the palette and it can easily go from day to night. A majority of this palette is shimmer, which is not something I typically go for, but it's so high quality and does not look tacky. That being said, these shadows are very pigmented. A little goes a long way, so even if you did purchase this palette at full price, it's definitely worth it for how long it'll last. I think this palette will work best for those with brown, hazel, or green eyes. The shadow colours as so beautiful and there are so many combination opportunities. I definitely recommend this product!
**This palette also comes with a waterproof black eyeliner, which I adore. It's so creamy, goes on easy, and it doesn't smudge or dissipate after hours of wear

I found this product at my local Shoppers Drug Mart and figured I'd pick it up to at least try. First of all, the price is absolutely amazing. I didn't have high expectations for this product because it's so cheap, but I absolutely love it! I typically use gel liners for my winged eyeliner, and had never tried an eyeliner pen before. The application is so easy, and I find that this product lasts longer on my eyes than the gel products (with and without an eye primer). I will absolutely be purchasing this item again and again! -

I purchased this product because I wanted to see if an acne-fighting moisturizer would be effective in controlling breakouts. I originally used this product all over my face, but my skin was still dry in certain areas where I never had breakouts. Overall, I'd consider this a mild moisturizer. I began 'spot treating' with this product. My breakouts are in the jaw/chin areas, so I only use this product in those spots and it has really worked. My whiteheads are at a minimum for the first time in a long while. Sometimes, I do have to go over the area with another regular moisturizer, but I'm okay with that as long as this product keeps working. -
