I have long lashes, but they are blonde so you can’t see them. If I was playing desert island and someone asked me what my one makeup item would be, I would say mascara. It is what I wear every single day and what makes me feel confident.
Normally, I am not a huge fan of large brushes on mascara wands because there is more risk of getting it on my face, but this one is super efficient. One end narrowed in so it is easier to get the inner corners and bottom lashes. It coats very quickly and quite evenly, it is very black so results are instantaneous.
Side note: you better have a good makeup remover because this stuff is true to it being ‘sauna proof’. Once you got it on, it is not budging. This mascara would definitely be great for long wear, as it says up to 48 hours or getting wet because water does not easily take it off.
I noticed one of the first ingredients is beeswax. Since beeswax is hydrophobic, explains how this mascara is so good at repelling water. But it also explains the price too!
I did notice a little fallout later in the day as the lashes were dry and little flecks can fall off, but this goes for any mascara in my opinion. Just a quick look and brush it away.
I should also mention that I used a YSL mascara long ago and I was obsessed with it, so I knew this mascara was going to be good too!

Or should I say ‘brew over ice CREAM’?? I kid, I kid… just really though, this tasted so good!
I am one of those people who loves to have flavours in their coffee. Creamy and sweet with my caffeine please! Although I did not follow the instructions to a T, I would have added cream regardless.
I think this coffee is very delicious with the hazelnut flavouring especially. I could definitely see myself buying this again.

I have never tried anything from this brand before but I am always excited to try new products from Sephora. I really appreciate the values that this company stands on; cruelty free, vegan, sustainable, eco conscious, the list goes on. I love perfume scents of flowers.
Peonies are one of my favourite flowers, therefore one of my favourite perfume scents. Although this wouldn’t be my first choice of a perfume, this would be a great backup to keep in my purse and throw on when I need a little pick me up!

We love our Keurig and as avid coffee drinkers we love any opportunity to try out a new coffee flavour when we can.
You can't go wrong with French Vanilla flavoured coffee, it is one of our favourite flavours. This coffee tastes just like the McCafe regular roast but with a hint of sweetness from the French Vanilla.
It's not too strong or weak, I would definitely say it is worth trying if given the chance. Pair it with cream and sugar or flavoured creamer and enjoy!

At first glance, this game reminded me of another very popular adult card game that I love to play, so I knew I would also love to play this game!
After reading the instructions, it is very simple to play. The hard part is actually guessing the correct answer! Some are definitely easier than others, all the more reason for it to be so fun to play! I suggest playing with a larger group if possible [the game suggests 3-8 players].
While the judge holds the card, there are hints on the back to help the players if need be. There are also little ‘fun facts’ for after they get the answer if you want to read that out afterward.
The game supplies NSFW cards in a separate bundle so if you and your group want to get a little raunchy.

My partner and I do all of our own home projects. Comparing this caulk to others we have used in the past, the consistency seems to be a lot more runny than what we were used to.
Besides that, it was easy to use, clean up easily and sealed what we needed it to. The baseboard by our back door was lifting away from the wall, so we used this product on it. Although the wall was very cold because it’s snowy outside now, it did the job!

There is nothing worse that having those awful white heads that not only look nasty, but hurt. Especially if you pop them. With these amazing pimple patches to the rescue, not only do they disguise the zit but they pull all the yuckiness out pain free!
It is so satisfying to see all of gunk on the patch after you pull it off!
Application is super easy. Place a patch right on the pimple, let it sit for 6-8 hours (you can do this overnight) and pull it off. I prefer pimple patches over any other method!

Conveniently enough after receiving these patches I had two super nasty zits on my chin that needed to go. I have used pimple patches in the past, but never this brand. I do really like how thin these patches are compared to leading brands when on the skin, you can hardly tell they are there! I think they are so well disguised you could even go out with them on and I doubt anyone would notice them on! [You can hardly see them on my chin in the photo]
The next morning when I went to peel them off, the pimples were significantly less red and the patches had absorbed some nasties from my face, I think they did a pretty good job! I would definitely reach for these again in the future when I need that extra help getting rid of a zit!
