Love this mascara, for the price and how well it works. It doesn't really make my lashes look any thicker, but it does make them look longer and black with just a little bit of sparkle here and there (the shimmer's only noticeable wayyy up close tho).
It doesn't get clumpy and won't flake off after a few hours. Definitely a new favourite for me.

I'm not into using alot of 'face makeup' like foundation or concealer, etc. I do have things that I wanna cover up obviously :P but prefer a more natural look and feel which is why I chose this.
This stuff is more like tinted moisturizer, but it is great at disguising any imperfections on your face without using too much makeup. It gets rid of enlarged pores and all that, but my freckles still show; the coverage is really sheer and light. It doesn't feel heavy on your face at all, and is waterproof and doesn't smude or wipe off throughout the day.
It doesn't seem to clog my pores at all, which I was worried about since my skin is more oily/combination (even though this stuff is 'oil- free').
All in all I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't like too much stuff on their face but wants to even out and add a bit of coverage to their skin.

Had to look everywhere for this because it was sold out but I finally found it at Shopper's Drug Mart for $19.99 (SUCH A GOOD PRICE FOR SOMETHING THAT WORKS SO WELL)
I love this thing-since winter arrived my skin has been getting dry alot and my regular exfoliator isn't doing the trick for me anymore. The Wave Duo works sooo well, it got rid of all the gross flaky skin and made it softer than ever :)
The little pads it comes with are great, they're really gentle and it gives you that tingly feeling. I also bought the Shine Free Blemish Free ones, which are a bit rougher on the skin but also really good.
The ONLY things I would complain about are that I wish I could have gotten another colour than blue, and after using it your hand feels kind of weird from the vibrations :P

I was disappointed with this product :( My acne is not very bad luckily-just a few zits usually around that time of the month, and i do have an oily t-zone. But it seems like using this cleanser actually makes the oiliness worse, and I have been breaking out more so than usual!
I paid about $15 for this, but it was on sale (otherwise I would not have gotten this cleanser in the first place).
It could be just me, so I would recommend trying this out if nothing is working for you, but all in all I will not be buying this again!

Vera Wang Rock Princess Eau de Toilette
This is not my favourite perfume, but it is way up there! I'm not the best at describing scents, but this is dark, sexy and sweet. I got it as a sample from Sephora and cannot wait to get a full bottle.

it was great to get this for free, and i will definitely keep it in mind for future shoppng trips!
i use other dove body washes often, (the go fresh burst ones), but this does way more to moisturize your skin-it gives you a silkier feeling. i love using this as a shaving "cream"; you get absolutely no razor burn, nicks or irritation, just smooth silky soft skin.
the scent is nice-that soft dove smell, although i would probably prefer the unscented version though, if there is one. it also lathers up VERY well-you only need a dollop about the size of a quarter for your shower poof, and the suds will still be going everywhere!
you will still need to moisturize as usual after using this product, but it does moisturize your skin more so than other body washes...the only thing i would recommend is using an unscented version if your skin is sensitive or if you use alot of other scented products, because it could be irritating.

Clean Sweet Layer Eau de Parfum
My absolute favourite perfume! At least for the summer months. The name says it all-it has the cleanest scent, you have to smell it for yourself. So yummy :)

I have been using this for a few weeks now, since I threw out my Dove anti-perspirant. (The Dove was working well at first but then it started to irritate my skin.) Anyway this deodorant is great, it's gentle on your skin, does not leave white marks on your clothes and the scent is nice (I got Sheer Clean ). It lasts for hours, but I am skeptical about how well it would work if you really started to work up a sweat! Other than that I definitely recommend-especially for the price, I paid $3 for the largest bottle. -

My eyes get dark bags underneath them often, so I decided to check this out. When you put it on you might feel a slight coolness or tingling after a few seconds. It did seem to de-puff my eyes a little bit in the morning, but nothing extravagant. I found that it doesn't really conceal the darkness under my eyes that well, but when the light hits your skin there is a bit of a glow (like it deflects the light). Be careful not to put too much on though! But overall I do like this product. For people looking for a big change, you might not be satisfied with this, but if you're looking for a bit of a pick-me-up then you should check this out. -

This stuff is great. My skin is quite fair, and this colour works really well for me, and I'm sure it would for every other skin tone as well. It gives a pop of colour, and a hint of shimmer plus it has the faintest scent of perfume to it, like flowers. The powder is so smooth and light, and it comes in a cute little box with a brush. I don't think I would throw it in my purse to take with me, but I don't think I would ever need to anyways as it lasts all day. It is a bit pricey, but I think it is worth it; the product is of great quality and you don't need much more than a swipe or two each time if you have fair skin like me. -
