The hemp range is an absolute god send for two of my family member who suffers from terrible eczema. I personally dont have eczema but seeing this range around at home when we lived together i was always using it to treat my dry skin. Its moisturising, nourishing and a reasonable price. It may not be the prettiest, coolest, hippest product to have on your vanity or in your toiletries bag, but it sure does work! -

I have no real brand loyalty when it coms to make up. I try different things, different brands and i have no "go-to" brand.
I remember trying this years ago when there was big hype about it being amazing. I wasnt impressed then. I thought it was thin, it didnt volumise, it didnt lengthen, in fact it didnt do anything apart from darken my lashes slightly.
Fast forward a few years and i try it again when i see it on clearance at my local drugstore. Even at clearance price, i wish i hadnt bothered. Same problems in that it did nothing for me.
The one thing i like about this mascara..the packaging! I love the bright green top and bright pink tube..makes it so easy to find in my make up bag or drawer.. Sadly the packaging is the only noticeable thing about this mascara for me.

Oh Bark Thins you have me torn. I love you but we are no good for each other.
First tried these at a friends house, they had a big bag that they brought out to snack on over a few craft beers. My partner and i instantly loved!
I looked high and low for them in stores but couldnt find them anywhere. I could find them on the internet for a ridonkulous price! It was good but not that good! Our friends' sister had given him them so he didnt know where she'd got them.
Fast forward 6 months or so and what do i see popping up everywhere in stores..you guessed it! Bt at $6 for a small bag they aren cheap. I bought a bag as a treat for my partner and i to have with a nice bottle (or two) of red for Valentines Day. If you havent tried red wine with a dark chocolate you are missing out!
The chocolate is good quality, the packaging is nice, the taste is amazing and i could eat the whole bag within 30 mins. That is the problem.
Will i buy them again..yes probably, but sadly only as special treat. If they were more reasonably priced i can see myself having a few bags in the store cupboard at all times.

Nicest rose gold eye product i own. Saw a fave You Tuber of mine using this and then hunted it down at Shoppers Drug Mart where i swatched it again and tried it on my lids. I have slightly hooded eyes so i was skeptical how this would work our for me. I needn't have been!
I loved it but being a little budget conscious at the moment i couldnt/wouldnt justify the $11.99 price tag. I was considering buying it with points i had accumulated but even that was a big decision!
Then. One glorious day. I was in a drugstore that i go into if im in a particular area as i dont have one near to me and i checked out the Annabelle display as i wanted to see some of the other chrome colour range and what do i see... The Rose Gold Chrome for $3.99! No idea why it was reduced but i grabbed that baby and skipped of to the paypoint.
It isnt an everyday eye colour as is very glittery/shimmery but i have worn it on two nights out so far and been asked numerous times what im wearing on my lids! I love love love it! I would suggest applying it and then letting it "dry" for 5 or so minutes before doing anything else on your eyes. And if you can set it or apply with a setting spray spritzed brush.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Go Canadian make up brands!

I am one of those people that likes going to bed because in the morning..i get coffee. But. If my coffee is going to be without the International Southern Butter Pecan creamer i am not going to be happy.
In our household we used to jump between creamer flavours..then one day i spotted this and bought it to maybe add in the rotation. The rotation is no more. This is the only creamer we buy. I love it!
I know i know creamer isn't the healthiest thing to have with your coffee but the taste of this in a nice bold coffee is just delightful. Its creamy, its nutty, its thick, its sweet. If we happen to run out of this i honestly try to pop to the store in the morning while the coffee is brewing to buy one.
Best flavour out of all the International range in my opinion.

Essence is one of those brands at the drugstore that you miiiiiight just walk past as the display can look a little cheap and its kind of stuck on the end of an aisle without really having a proper section. Well...stop walking!
I have tried quite a products in the Essence range and it all started last summer when i had to put a budget into play and the brand really started to up their game.
So this review..the gel polish. Buy it. I bought one colour (Play with my mint) after seeing a fave You Tuber of mine wearing it and wearing it (and wearing it again!) I will tell you right now..i dont have the best of luck with nail polish. I paint my nails and then i sneeze an hour later and i feel as if the stuff chips! Not the essence one. The brush is super nice; fat without being chubby and awkward for my small nail beds and the formula is creamy without being all thick and gloopy.
After my initial purchase i bought two more..Jeans On and Island Hopping. Again both excellent formulas, an amazing price and a great result. Essence is now my go to polish brand, if they have the colour i want. Their colour selection isn't huge (in stores at least - havent checked online) but i am hoping they expand it and i do see them adding new colours every season.
So check out that Essence display you may have just walked past before and grab one of their polishes. For the minimal price, its not the end of the world if it doesn't work out for you. But..i would be surprised if you didn't love it!
