I only buy these on sale, because where I live they cost $12 - $15 depending on where you purchase them. Sadly, there are never any coupons available for them. But if you contact Ensure's Canadian website (Make sure it's the Canadian one and not the American one!!) they will send you a $2 manufacturer "cheque" which you can use to lower the cost of your purchase.
I will only buy the "original" kind in the Vanilla flavor. They have plenty of flavors, so you're bound to find one you like. There's Chocolate, Strawberry, Pecan, Orange and Vanilla (as of the time I'm writing this). But the vanilla one is the simplest one and I like it for that reason, there's no artificial flavoring added to it.
The consistency is like a milkshake, with sprinkles in it or something of that sort. They are not smooth, but don't have much of a "powdery" feeling to them either. It's really hard to describe. They are by no means offensive to the taste or anything.
I use them because I am vegetarian and need the extra boost, but the "extra protien" ones are very thick and taste gross. Sort of like slightly flavored cardboard.

I purchased this product at a beauty outlet store, but I do believe they can still be purchased in CVS's or Walgreens.
I purchased this product in 3 colours, Pink, Blue and Purple.
The brush is very small and thin, which is perfect for getting your bottom lashes or small upper lashes. The formula is quite wet, so this mascara can get very messy. It also isn't very volumizing or lengthening. It isn't a great mascara by any means and if you have small or light lashes this might not be a good product for you.
The colour is very subtle on the first coat but can be built up for intensity.
It isn't very practical, I mean... Who could wear pink mascara on a daily basis? But it is fun to use on your bottom lashes for a pop of colour to a nude look.

Burt's Bees Pomegranate Moisturizing Lip Balm

Burts Bee's is one of those brands that I find crazy expensive for no reason. They definitely follow the "organic" luxury prices. I bought this lip balm when it was 20% off so I paid about $3 for it.
This balm has a really nice pomegranate flavor and scent that sticks on the lips for a little bit but not too long. It's a very thin balm, but it isn't greasy or oily. It moisturizes nicely and gets rid of my chapped lips!
The balm itself is a lovely red berry colour, but none of that transfers onto the lips.

Bath & Body Works Mini Candles

I miss the days when these were 5/$5... In Canada now these cost almost $5. They went from being plastic containers to glass ones, then glass ones with metal lids. I don't mind repackaging, but B&BW;made it so that there was less product for more money. I refuse to buy these candles now. They were 1.6oz when they were first released and they are now 1.3 oz.
The scents are good, and these made perfect hostess gifts or sampler packs to help you decide if the scent was one you'd like. They also made really good tarts if you had a tart warmer.
Save your money and buy the mason jar candles or the larger ones. These are a total rip off

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash
I got this when it was on sale for $3.47 at Walmart (Hello, Rollback!) then used a $2 off coupon (available on Dove's website) as well as a $1.50 rebate from Checkout 51 and actually ended up making 3 cents on it! Not a bad deal if I say so... +
I got this when it was on sale for $3.47 at Walmart (Hello, Rollback!) then used a $2 off coupon (available on Dove's website) as well as a $1.50 rebate from Checkout 51 and actually ended up making 3 cents on it! Not a bad deal if I say so myself.
After doing the typical "Sniff test" I decided the Shea Butter & Vanilla scent was the least offensive. If you're familiar with the typical Dove scent, that's exactly what every single one of these body washes smell like. There are different options that are little additions to the typical Dove scent, but trust me. They all still smell like Dove. This was quite a put off to me, because coconut and "Dove" don't make a nice scent.
If you can get past the typical "Dove" scent, you'll love this product! It's creamy and soft on the skin. It lathers really well and makes you feel very clean. The scent doesn't stick around (thank goodness), but the moisture does. I don't feel like I have to put a lotion on after the shower and my skin doesn't feel tight.

I purchased a muti pack of these Mr.Clean Magic Erasers at my local Costco. I got 2 of the regular sized ones and 4 smaller ones.
I love these things!! I use them to clean the dirt and weather-wear on my iron fencing, as well as on my BBQ and other metal surfaces! I wouldn't trust using it on paint though because I've heard it can wear away the paint.
Honestly these are so easy to use, just dampen and scrub! It made cleaning so much easier and quicker for me! These are a must have if you have white metal fencing in your yard like I do.

I have both the fruity shine scents - Cherry & Strawberry
The cherry one tastes like cherry koolaid
The Strawberry one tastes like strawberry jolly ranchers
It provides a light tinted shine. These lip balms do have glitter in them, but it isn't chunky. So if you don't like glittery shiny lips, steer clear of these.
They provide good moisture, but are very thin. They only last about 20-30 minutes on the lips and then both the colour and the moisture is gone and you have to reapply it. I don't find this lip balm makes my lips dry when it goes away.

I received this product as a free sample from P&G;. I got a "bonus sized sample" which was 2oz of product.
The fragrance is quite strong, but smells wonderfully of Lavender with a slight hint of vanilla. I spray this on my pillows and blankets 20 minutes before bed so I'm surrounded by light fragrance as I fall asleep. This scent is also very good for when you're just trying to relax. Sometimes I even spray it on my clothes if i'm stressed out and need a quick fix of relaxation.
Based on my positive experience with this fragrance - I'm very excited to try the other 2 in the line. "Warm Milk & Honey" as well as "Jasmine".

Like all Wet N Wild Coloricon Shadow Trios, this set has wonderful pigmentation! The shadows are soft and blend-able and a dream to work with. The price of $2.99 at my local Walmart was also a great selling factor.
Sadly, the only reason this product gets a 3/5 stars for Effectiveness is that I found the colours in this set aren't really all that wearable and I don't get much use out of them. But it's fun to play around with just for fun. The black in this set makes a wonderful shadow liner when applied with an eyeliner brush.
