I've never sweat so much in my life and for the first week or so I couldn't complete a lot of the drills.. I feel amazing and beat all at the same time when I'm done the workout, but the key is to just stick with it. Shaun T (the instructor) is really motivating and helps you 'dig deep' and get it done.
You do a fit test every 2 weeks with it and it shows you how much you improve over time. It's a great program and I love it! I think one of the hardest things to do is to keep going at it the next day when you're sore and tired. I'm not completely through it yet, but I can see more definition in my arms and legs.
There's another one called 'Insanity: The Asylum' and I think that one is more intense... It's more for agility, strength and power. I'll probably do that one after this.

Marcelle Twist Push Up Mascara
I do like this mascara... It's cool that you can use it straight for length and twist the cap (which twists the brush) to add extra volume. It's not the most volumizing mascara I've ever used, but it still is good. It also doesn't clump and doesn't... +

It's not the most volumizing mascara I've ever used, but it still is good. It also doesn't clump and doesn't flake which is great! I would buy this one again. -
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara
I wasn't a huge fan of this mascara... I didn't like the flexible brush, and it flaked a lot... A couple times the flakes went right into my eyes which was not fun, but my lashes were really soft. I wouldn't buy it again.

I used this in hopes I would get a beautiful 'non-orange' colour like it promises... Well, it definitely was not orange. It also claims it doesn't have an odor, it doesn't streak, easy to apply etc... All of those statements are false.
First of all, there's the 'odor-free' aspect. It may not have much of an odor as you're applying it, butt It smelled SO bad once it dried... There's 'self-tanner' smell, then there's the 'burnt-flesh' smell that Pretend Tan emanates. I maybe could deal with 2 days of nasty smelling skin if the results were as amazing as they said it would be.
Secondly, it's 'easy to apply and streak-free!' Now I have applied many self tanners in my day, so before anyone thinks that I wasn't doing it right (because that's what I thought when I read the negative reviews) I applied it correctly. I exfoliated really well beforehand, I applied it at arms-length in a nice even flow, and I noticed all these black speckles coming out of the can and landing all over my legs and arms. I had to rub in those spots afterward because it started to look like I rolled around in crushed Oreo's. I also did not spray my hands or feet just because I know that overspray will land there and if you put too much, you start to look dirty. My hands ended up extremely uneven and I had these splotchy brown marks everywhere that I was stopped and asked if I had Vitiligo. (It's a condition where you lose pigmentation in the skin)
It starts to get darker after 3-4 hours of application and boy did it ever. In theory, it would be a nice colour if it applied nicely, but it really doesn't. The few areas that weren't splotchy did have a beautiful colour.
Overall, this product is terrible, smells disgusting and I would never ever try it again. I'm returning it... For the $50 I would rather get a Mystic Tan.

I got a sample of the Garnier Intensive Lotion in the Shea Butter and it feels really nice on. It smells ah-maz-ing! It works on just shaved skin (with no irritation) and keeps skin hydrated. I purchased a full size bottle of the Cocoa Butter at Shoppers (...AND it was on a one day sale for $2.99...AND I had a $2.00 off coupon!!) I will definitely keep using this lotion and I like the Cocoa Butter smell better than the Shea Butter. I want to try the Mango one next. Overall, I'm very happy with this lotion!! -

I love putting red in my hair, but it fades so quickly. A friend told me about this product so I bought it and tried it... It made my hair such a beautiful colour and really brought out the red tones in my hair. I had sections that were highlighted, so those are super bright, which I love! It's a really nourishing conditioning mask as well, so I'm really happy about how shiny and soft my hair is. This mask is kinda like Manic Panic but definitely NOT as messy. I will definitely but this again when I'm out.
I'm just happy I can keep my hair vibrant red all the time now!! The only thing that I would like to see from them is more variety of reds. That would be awesome!!

I LOVE these shadows!! I have about 15 colours and I want more! They're pretty good for the price (FYI Some Shoppers Drug Marts are blowing the discontinued colours out for as low as $2 each!!!)
They stay on all day (with a good eye primer!) and the colour pigment is unbelievable. They only downside to these is they're a bit messy as the container is kinda crappy. But overall I need more of these. My fav colurs are Meringue and White Diamond. As a freelance makeup artist, I use these all the time on my brides and they love them too! =)

Revlon ColorStay Makeup with Softflex
I did not like this foundation at all. It was really runny, didn't cover well, didn't last long and smelled bad. Not happy with it and totally not worth the $17-$20.
