I have ultra sensitive pale skin. Saw an infomercial on this product years ago wanted to try it but it was only in the U.S. Finally got it & for sure it lives up to it's hype! It leaves my skin flawless on top of the foundation. If you need proof view my profile picture. It is also sweat-proof. Only thing I would definitely recommend is purchasing the actual Bare Escentuals brushes. I bought a way less expensive kabuki brush & it goes on a bit too cakey. Definitely it is worth trying out if you have sensitive skin. For a more affordable option, try buying the "starter kit" first. You get waaay smaller samples of the foundation& veil but get all the brushes. The only reason I didn't is because unfortunately the foundation in it doesn't come in my shade which is FAIR. Only comes in light. I have porcelain almost see-through skin.
For sure this is worth it if you want a natural organic makeup that looks like you don't have any on.

bareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF15

I have extremely sensitive pale/fair skin. Basically I break out from every makeup imaginable except organic/natural/chemical free makeup. I am amazed by this makeup because it actually lives up to all the hype. I have been using it for a month now & haven't broken out at all. It provides a totally natural look with no clumping or fake cakey-ness. It blends in perfectly with my skin tone. Definitely gives flawless coverage(if you need picture proof view my current profile picture). It also remains on my skin even through sweating. I walk alot & have the makeup on my skin when I do & sweating after a one hour walk I still have the coverage! I highly recommend using the brushes they sell, however since I cannot afford it, I just purchased a cheaper kabuki brush. I "had" wanted to buy the more affordable kit but it doesn't come in my complexion which is "FAIR" (porcelain skin). Just note that it might be a teensy bit messy when putting the powder onto the brush. Honestly, this is the BEST foundation I have EVER used! -

This organic lotion is absolutely amazing! The smell is just incredible, hard to describe kind of liked fresh baked cookies...totally to die for & it lasts on the skin too. It is totally moisturizing & best yet, doesn't cause any allergic reaction. The ingredients are all natural & use essential oils. For the price, you are most definitely getting quality. -
Almay One Coat Nourishing and Lengthening Mascara
Got this because I have ultra-sensitive eyes. Not only did it make mine itch but the mascara wand made clumping inevitable.

Bow Bulgogi House

Oh my gosh!! Granted I have not eaten every single type of meat on this planet, I do count myself as one of those "foodies". I like to try many new dining experiences & cultures. So far...this hands down...is the BEST meat I have ever had the luxury of tasting! The bbq pork is out of this world! Correctly called from the menu:
Do-Gi-Bulgogi. It is one of those indulgences that your taste buds won't forget! You just crave it more & more when you don't partake in it. It comes sizzling on a hot plate & then with many side dishes & that's when the fun begins. Make sure to ask the waitress if you don't recognize some of the sides(for instance pickled radishes). It also comes with huge lettuce leaves to wrap it all in plus rice & more. It was just enough for my boyfriend & I. The cost is a bit pricey. ** Make sure that you phone first for reservations as there is not many tables at all. As it is was quite cramped in there. ** Overall, if this is your first foray into Korean BBQ(as was mine) you will be totally blown away by the tenderness/flavors in your meal.

I purchased these shoes because our climate is such that even in the Spring we can get snow(tell me bout it totally sucks). I need a shoe with traction in light snow/ice & also rain. I have previously bought New Balance walking shoes because I need the width(I am an E width) & I have problems with pronation(my feet roll) & I also have PFS(Patella Femoral Syndrome - aka knee problems. So suffice to say I need a shoe that gives me lots of support. All my past New Balance shoes were awesome. I have worn these for about 2 weeks now, every day & they are great in all weather. The only downside is that they only come as wide as a D so my pinky toes get a bit squished.
I do need to address the cost though....ANY New Balance shoes are going to be over $100/pair which is ALOT. I only got these half price because they had a BOGO sale at the store. So I got this pair half off. To me though, for what they do for my feet/posture...I would say they are worth every penny!

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Body Wash in Jasmine Vanilla
The scent is just horrible & totally fake. It just smelled "off" to me. Typically when these scents are together as aromatherapy it is a perfect blend...not this! I couldn't believe they even have it as part of their "Aromatherapy" line. Sadly... +
The scent is just horrible & totally fake. It just smelled "off" to me. Typically when these scents are together as aromatherapy it is a perfect blend...not this! I couldn't believe they even have it as part of their "Aromatherapy" line. Sadly, this was my first experience with a product from Bath & Body Works :( What is even worse is that I purchased the lotion too. Trust me, I did smell the scent in the store...unfortunately it was the perfume oil spray I went on...instead of smelling the actual products I was buying. Buyer beware in my case. On top of it I have sensitive skin & within one application of this product I broke out in a rash all over. Thank goodness it was not all that pricey....it's no wonder. -

This shower gel (pardon the pun) does make me feel like I am a queen in the shower! The scent Jasmine in this is so very close to the real aromatherapy oil...simply heavenly! I have super sensitive skin & was actually fine with this & didn't react at all. It is long lasting as well, meaning I can use it before bed & it is still on my skin(scent-wise) in the morning. You hardly need to use alot, which means it lasts longer. Over all I feel it is an excellent price for something so fantastic. -

I absolutely love this mall & it's worth the gas to drive to & from Calgary(about 20-25 min away)! This is coming from a gal who doesn't really like malls all that much. It's sooo spacious to walk through, that even on it's busiest days(wknds) it hardly feels cramped at all. There are very unique stores as well, ones that we don't even have in our large city. The architecture/design that went into everything(inside & out) is well worth just walking through to see also. On top of it, every store I went into had excellent customer service, you could tell they were actually there to service/help me. Can't wait until the brand new movie theatres open as well!
Overall, if you want a unique & stress-free shopping experience, catering to all ages...check it out!
