I love how the EOS balms make my lips feel, and the fact that they're made from natural, organic ingredients is a huge perk! I really like the innovative and fun packaging, as well as the bright colours they come in, too. I have a bunch of them, and all of them smell fantastic, and I find them pretty affordable for how long they last. My one dislike is that I find that they're not overly long-lasting -- I find that I have to keep reapplying it in order to keep my lips feeling moistened. Overall, I would recommend this product and buy it again, though! I also really like that EOS currently has a new special Breast Cancer Awareness pack out, and part of the proceeds of each purchase will go to Breast Cancer research! I really love when my favourite brands/products partner with great causes! -
Bath & Body Works 3 Wick Candle in Pumpkin Cupcake

This candle is seriously like autumn in a jar! The scent is rich -- not too spicy, but not too sweet. I like that it's more of a baking pumpkin type of smell (hence the name) than a mainly cinnamon-scented candle like some of the other B&BW;ones; it has just the right amount of cinnamon blended in, but it's not totally overpowering that you can't smell the pumpkin. This candle is a wonderful addition to a Thanksgiving or Halloween celebration, and brings warmth and comfort into the home on cooler fall days. The 3-wick one is quite pricey, however, the store does carry smaller sizes; although they evidently do not last as long as the bigger size, I find that they are just as potent! I adore this product -- it's an absolute must-have for the fall season! -

This polenta cleanser smells like caramel popcorn! It smells so delicious that I could eat it - but I won't, haha. It makes my face feel super clean and it has a very gentle exfoliating property. This was my first time purchasing it and I bought the larger pot, and it's seriously lasting me forever -- you only need to add water to a pea sized amount of it and it's enough to cleanse your whole face! It can also be used as a body cleanser, which is another great pro. It is on the pricier side, but I am willing to pay more when the product is all natural, hand made, and cruelty free. Like I said, it also lasts for ages - you just have to be a little bit wary because all Lush products have expiration dates. Overall, this is a good cleanser and I would repurchase it. -

This has been one of my classic, go to perfumes for years. The smell is really gorgeous and just the right kind of pungent. It's a girly floral scent that to me screams romance and youthfulness. The scent tends to stay for most of the day, but sometimes I spray an extra spritz before going out with friends or on a date in the evening. The price is expensive, but pretty standard for higher end perfumes. This is a great one to buy when you have a ton of Shoppers Optimum points to redeem :) It's such a great scent. Try it and you'll love it! -

My skin always feels sooo clean and sooo soft after using this mask. I typically use it once a week for a deep cleanse. The adzuki beans really work well to remove dead skin and the strong peppermint smell is lovely. The mask has a tingly, cooling effect when it's applied to the skin, and really only needs to be left on for only a couple of minutes to do its job well. It is an expensive product but pretty average for a Lush product. I love that it's made from natural ingredients and that the brand does not condone animal testing. The large pot of this lasts for ages and can also be used on the rest of the body (not just the face!) which is a big pro too! I really feel like this product does a great job with removing impurities from my face. -

I went out to buy my own bottle of this lotion after testing out my roomate's. This smells amazing and is super moisturizing -- I love putting it on after I take a shower or at night before bedtime so that when I wake up my legs are nice and smooth. I also think it's a great value for how much you get -- it's a large bottle with a pump, and I've been using it off and on for about two years, and there's still lots left, so I think it's safe to say that it'll last me awhile. It was extremely affordable (I think only about $4), and I love that the bottle states that it's made with "100% natural moisturizers" -- huge plus for me! It also absorbs into your skin very quickly, so it's not one of those gross greasy lotion formulas. Highly recommend! -

This is the first shade of this nail polish that I've used, and I have to say, I'm impressed. 625 Crush on Amethyst is light purpley-grey in colour and is comprised of tons of micro shimmer pieces. Although the bottle looks small upon first glance, the nail polish is high quality and 1.5 coats is all you need for an opaque look! It doesn't go on as a clear top coat with some sparkles strewn in there like other sparkly polishes -- the shade you see peeking through the bottle is exactly the way it shows up on your nails! For a drug store polish this is an extremely great bargain -- I only paid $3.98 for this polish plus tax at my local Walmart, and I'm super impressed. After about 5 days of wear it did begin to chip a bit, but for the price (and since I usually change up my polish about once a week anyway) I was happy with it. Hard Candy has a ton of beautiful shades and I will definitely be purchasing a new bottle of a different polish the next time I find myself at the mall. I also really love how they don't test on animals! I would totally recommend this polish. -

I absolutely love this lotion. I bust it out usually before bedtime when I need to relax and relieve tension and negative thoughts from my mind. I love the scent -- it's extremely soothing and I find that it really helps me to relax. It's a very natural smelling scent -- not at all sweet -- but it does the trick for me. The packing it comes in is also really pretty -- I like that it's a dark glass bottle, and the pump works well. It recently became a staple product for me when I was completing my Master's degree because I loved how the scent helped me to unwind and feel calm enough to get some rest. I even let my brother borrow it the night before a stressful exam he had recently and he claimed it was the reason why he stopped tossing and turning and managed to get a few hours of rest! I would definitely recommend this to people who tend to have a lot of stress or who have trouble getting to sleep at night. It's a great product and the price is super decent for what you get! -

I love this primer! It has wonderful staying power and works with all of my eyeshadows -- not just the other Urban Decay ones -- in order to really bring out the pigment in them. It's super easy to apply but you only need a little bit and to apply the shadow to it while it's still relatively wet. If I get distracted while doing my makeup and apply eyeshadow on top of it after it's dried I find it doesn't work as well for me, and if I apply too much product and it dries, it can be difficult to remove. However, it absolutely does what it's supposed to do, and even the sample size that I got with my Naked palette (I have the full size, too!) lasts ages. This is a must have for eye shadow lovers -- it really makes your products look that much nicer and stay that much longer! -

This concealer was recommended to me by a beauty consultant at my local Shoppers Drug Mart because I tend to have dark circles under my eyes. I primarily used it underneath my eyes but I also tried it when an occasionally large/red pimple cropped up. I know that this product has a pretty big cult following but for the amount I paid for this, I was disappointed. Despite being easy to blend and providing some good coverage, I found that the concealer tends to wear off throughout the day and I have to keep reapplying it if I want the desired effect. The associate told me that it would be moisturizing but instead I found that the product was more greasy than anything. I also found that the product tended to crease under my eyes a lot and that it often looked cakey -- which I hated. Needless to say, I'm still on a search for a wonderful, reliable concealer to incorporate into my regular beauty routine. -
