I feel like this blush would look great on almost anyone -- and that, as well as the high quality of the product, are what's lead up to the cult following it seems to have. But it really is gorgeous! it's great for day-to-day, as well as for evening makeup looks. I don't tend to buy a lot of blushes but I really feel as though this one was worth my money, and when it finally runs out (I've been using it nearly everyday for over a year and still have lots at the moment!) I will definitely be repurchasing. The pinky-peach colour and the shimmer are super gorgeous, and this has become a staple product in my makeup routine. Try it -- you'll love it!! -

I think my favourite aspect of this shampoo is that it seriously smells like a coconut cream pie! I love breathing in its smell while I'm lathering in the shower, and find that although it's subtle, the scent does stay in my hair, which I love! The scent is so invigorating that I've noticed my Mom has started borrowing it from me as well! We both adore the scent, which is sweet and coconutty without smelling overly fake or overpowering. I originally purchased this shampoo because of the fact that it's from their Orgnx line, and I love the fact that it's also sulfate and paraben free! Because it's sulfate free, it doesn't lather the same way as other drugstore shampoos do, but I am totally okay with that because I've been trying to make the switch to using shampoos with healthier ingredients. I like to put the product in my hands first, mix it around a bit, and then apply it to my hair. I also find that it does a great job cleaning my hair -- my hair always looks so healthy and voluminous after using this product, and I've noticed that on day two my roots don't look as greasy as they have when I've used other shampoos. The price is on the higher end for a drugstore brand, but I definitely feel that it's worth it! I haven't used the conditioner alongside this yet, but I would definitely recommend following up with a conditioner after using this product -- because of the more natural ingredients, I do find that using conditioner as a follow-up helps to soften my tresses after using this. This shampoo is also safe for colour-treated hair, which I really appreciate, as a few months ago I dyed my hair ombre, and this shampoo has not stripped the colour out of my hair. In addition to all of these pros, when you buy a product from the LaCoupe Orgnx line, they actually plant a Moringa tree in your honour!! Who doesn't love helping the environment while indulging in beauty products?! Two thumbs up :) -

This is the best exfoliating scrub I have ever tried, and as a result, I have recommended it to many of my friends and family members! It is pricey for the tiny container that it comes in, however you really only need an amount that's just a bit bigger than pea-sized in order for it to do the trick! Although it really gets in there and exfoliates when you rub it onto your face, I find that it's still suitable for my sensitive skin! I love how it makes my skin feel -- I can't believe how soft it feels after I use it! You can really feel the difference the minute after you step out of the shower / cleanse your face. Ole Henriksen prides themselves on using natural ingredients in their products, so the scrub is actually made up of crushed walnut pieces! This is also amazing because I recently read an article about how the plastic microbeads from other exfoliating scrubs are ending up in the oceans and becoming a huge pollution issue -- so you know that you're not contributing to this issue when you use this natural product. Also -- did I mention how incredible this smells?! It smells like a blackberry and walnut pie or something -- you'll love it! Amazing, amazing scrub! -

I adore this shave cream! I used to use a variety of shave creams from aerosol cans, but I much prefer that this one comes in a pump form. The vanilla smell is absolutely amazing -- I love using it in the shower because the scent fills up the room and seriously smells delicious. It also makes my legs super soft, and really locks in the moisture. The price is extremely decent as well, and I will absolutely be repurchasing this. I look forward to trying the other scents in the line as well -- I hope they're just as nice as this one! I'm super impressed with the quality of this product. -
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara

This is by far the best mascara I have ever tried, and I consider myself to be a bit of a mascara guru. I already have long lashes, so it's my favourite feature to play up when I'm doing my makeup. This mascara really does what it claims to -- it thickens and lengthens lashes soooo well, to the point where strangers have stopped to compliment me on my lashes and ask if I'm wearing fakes! The wand is great for separating lashes, and I find that clumping is at a minimum when I wear this. I do flnd that once in awhile it flakes a tiny bit (especially if I'm rubbing my eyes while wearing it) but it's easily fixed. The price is pretty expensive, but I do find that I'm getting what I pay for when I purchase this mascara! It is definitely on the more difficult and messy side when it's time to remove it, but I find that wetting my face and then using coconut oil around the eye area always does the trick. Since I try to keep my cosmetic purchases as cruelty free and natural as possible, I also really wish that Benefit would stop testing on animals (I recently found out that they do) but until I find a more natural formula that compares to this, I will likely repurchase this because I absolutely love how it makes my eyelashes look. -

This has been my go-to, day-to-day perfume for a couple of years now. I wanted a fresh new scent after wearing Vera Wang's Princess for so long as a teen, so when a friend recommended this to me I decided to give it a try! It's a sweet scent that's a bit musky, but I find that it lasts throughout the day and is very subtle as the hours go by. My boyfriend absolutely loves the scent, too -- he went out of his way to purchase a bottle for me one year! Many people compliment me on this perfume -- I think because the smell is so unique. I haven't found a perfume that smells similarly to this yet -- to me it smells like a mix of soft vanilla and root beer, which I love, because it's a strange smell but extremely flattering and intoxicating for some reason. It's become my signature scent, and I find that all of my scarves now smell like it! The price is expensive, but pretty average for higher end perfumes, in my opinion, so I feel that it's absolutely worth the splurge. -

I received a deluxe sample of this perfume after redeeming some of my points at Sephora and I have to say, I'm in love with this scent! Wearing it makes me feel beautiful and sexy; the spicy floral scent smells amazing, and I find myself constantly smelling my wrists when I'm wearing it. I do find it to be a bit strong when I first apply it, so I try to just spritz on a small amount. If I do end up applying a bit more than I had intended to, I find that after a few hours the smell tends to become a bit more subtle, which is perfect for me! Unlike other reviewers, I do find that the scent lasts for a long time -- often I'll put it on in the morning and be able to smell it on my wrists the following day! I find I've been getting so many compliments on it since I started wearing it, and it's just such a gorgeous scent. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but I love that Sephora currently offers it in a rollerball size! I can't wait to add this to my perfume collection. -

After finding out how harmful the inclusion of aluminum is in antiperspirants, I began searching for a natural deodorant to use instead. I tried a few other brands first and then I discovered Lavanila -- and now it's been my go-to deodorant for the past couple of years! One thing to remember is that it's a deodorant and NOT an antiperspirant -- so you will still sweat while wearing this, which is actually better for you anyway, because it's one of your body's ways of flushing out toxins. Also, it does feel a bit wet when you first apply it, but that has never bothered me -- I quickly got used to it after a couple applications. I love the variety of scents that the company offers; I've tried quite a few of them but my current favourite is their Vanilla Grapefruit scent. I find that it keeps me smelling fresh, and doesn't enhance body odour like some other natural deodorants I've tried in the past have!! I even use it when I go to my hot yoga classes and it keeps me smelling great! I really love that it's an all natural product and that the company does not test on animals -- it makes me feel great about purchasing from this company! I also love that it does not contain any petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oils, silicone, synthetic dyes, sulfates, or parabens! I really love that instead of putting harmful chemicals into my body after shaving and opening my pores I know that I'm using a carefully crafted, all natural product. The only major downsides are the fact that it's not available in drugstores (I buy it from Sephora) and the price -- it is quite a jump from drugstore deodorant prices! I really wish it wasn't so expensive, but for me the pros definitely outweigh the cons. :) -
