I have almost all of the shades available in this range! They are fabulous! They are definitely a great little drugstore gem.
These are well worth the price, you can find these for $8.99 in stores (or cheaper if there is a sale).
These can be a little hard to find which is unfortunate but it is getting easier to get them (especially in the GTA)
These apply very creamy and smell great (the scent is kind of like a cake batter...yum!). I find the formula is somewhere between a satin or matte look. They tend to apply more like a satin but dry down more to a matte. Once dry they boast great staying power and when they do fade its not a patchy mess! Personally I do not find them drying but I've heard some people do.
They have a great shade range and offer very flattering shades. I find I can wear shades in this range that I wouldn't normally where (like the shade Sydney)
I hope they keep coming out with more shades (like some awesome purples) because these a great! A must have!

MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum

This lipstick has been one of my most used lipsticks, I love it. Wearers beware this shade is BOLD. This is a neon pink lipstick and they were not lying when they called it neon. It is bright, in your face and beautiful!
This lipstick is a matte so it may be dry for some people but it applies pretty creamy. I find that if you pair this with the matching lip liner (also called Candy Yum Yum from MAC) you get the best results. When you pair both of those together (and believe me you can wear it beautifully without the liner) you get full coverage, very pigmented colour.
Anyone who is looking for a fun bright pink should check it out!

I absolutely love this gel liner and own it in several shades. I find that it's pretty easy to get the hang of. When I use liquid liner I don't always do a good winged liner but I find that with this my wings look much nicer even if I don't do the most precise and good job.
Most eyeliners tend to move around on my eyelids (everything wants to crease and transfer there)but with the fluidlines, the transferring is minimal to none. This stuff is built to last! It applies very well, pigmented and super creamy.
My only tip is that you close the jars tightly and make sure its not in the open air too much because these babies WILL dry out. If by chance they do happen to dry out I've heard you can spritz some fix + on them to make them nice and creamy again!
I can't recommend gel liners enough, especially the Fluidlines!

I was very excited to receive this for trial and review but unfortunately it did not work for me. This night moisturizer just sat on top of my skin making it look shiny and making it feel and look oily. I need something that absorbs FAST and this just didn't do it for me. I also didn't notice any positive difference in my skin. It didn't make me break out, it just made me oily...and that's the only thing it did for me.
It may work for someone whose skin absorbs cream quickly or those who don't have oily skin though.
A small thing, but still important to me but this had a typical drugstore/department store moisturizer scent and I prefer a more natural scent (like the scent of LUSH products!)

I was definitely excited to try this since I love trying new products and I've never tried serums before but sadly it did not work out for me.
Not only did I not notice a positive change in my skin but this made me feel super oily.
Generally my skin isn't too oily but because I have short hair that sometimes sits on my forehead I sometimes find my tzone gets oily and this product just amplified that, making it even more oily. It didnt matter if I used this with my Vichy Skin Sleep or in the morning with my regular day moisturizer I just always felt oily.
Someone with dryer skin may like this product though!

I love LUSH Shampoo Bars and this one is my favourite! I must admit that I purchased this based on the scent and it definitely has more to offer than a fabulous delicious scent
I love that LUSH shampoo bars help to eliminate all those bottles that we go through and toss away and I appreciate that I can help combat that. I also like that because it's a solid I just pick it up, rub it on my hair a few times and I'm all set to lather up.
Yes, this shampoo smells great, it's made with lemon oil, lemon juice and olives and bursts with a delicious citrus scent and citrus scents just happen to be my personal favourite. Some days I skip the conditioner but when doing so sometimes I find my hair is left a little dry, not with this bad boy! I can skip the conditioner all I want and my hair will still feel soft, smooth and not at all dry!
I've been using this regularly for about a month or so and one day my coworker told me my hair looked VERY shiny and looked really good. Those compliments definitely made me happy and I'm sure my fabulously shiny (but short) locks have this shampoo bar to thank for that, it is after all a shampoo designed to make those strands shine their brightest!
I would, without a doubt, purchase this bar again. Raise the bar! Try a LUSH Shampoo Bar. When life gives you lemons...turn it into a shampoo bar and make those locks shine!

I always wanted to try this product but I was skeptical because it seemed like a lot to pay for such a small item, plus I thought I could get the same results with a wet tooth brush. I recently received it as a gift and was thrilled to finally try it and I actually really like it!
Yes it comes in a small jar but you don't need much to get the job done! A little goes a long way! I only dab a bit on my finger and rub it into slightly wet lips and lick it off once most of it is gone. I do this pretty much every morning and night. Once I finish scrubbing it in my lips feel very smooth and soft and they also look great! Not to mention this stuff, tastes and smells good and looks cute to boot!
Definitely surprised me and I'm sure I'll be picking up another pot once I am finished the one I am currently using.

Tarte's clay blush is a fabulous long wearing blush. From the time you apply it to the time you remove it you will be able to see it on your skin. These blushes also come in a great selection of shades and finishes to suit everyone's preferences! The pigmentation is great and you can either use a light hand for a light wash of colour or build it up/use a heavier hand for a more statement look and brighter pop of colour! I find that these do not look powdery at all on my cheeks which is also great because no one wants a chalky unnatural look! Another little detail about these that I don't use but find great is that on the bottom of the compact they have a little hole so that you can poke the blush pan out in order to put it in a palette which I'm sure is ideal for makeup artists.
I have a bunch of these blushes and absolutely love them! Absolutely would recommend them!

When I first picked these up I didn't know what to expect, I also picked one up for my mom and we were pleasantly surprised. The price is great, especially if you purchase them on sale or at Walmart and they are well worth it.
The colour selection is decent, they have about 10 shades (I now own 5!) All the colours are wearable and nothing too extreme. They give you a NATURAL look that's just beautiful. It is a powder but they don't look powdery on the skin, instead they look soft and natural. I also found that these had fantastic wear time and didn't fade on me!
I also like the packaging, its simple, nice and even reminds me of the MAC blush packaging.
These quickly became some of my favourite blushes and I would definitely repurchase them. Easily one of my favourite Annabelle Cosmetics products

I recently received this toothbrush to try and then review and I love it! I have already raved about it to friends because its such a powerful toothbrush and it works! I have one complaint about it- its loud. Aside from being one loud toothbrush I find it absolutely fantastic and would definitely buy it again, hey some people might even get one in their Christmas stocking this year!
I haven't noticed if my teeth are much whiter but I've definitely noticed a reduction in plaque, not just a small reduction, I haven't noticed ANY plaque after brushing and through most of the day. With the elimination of plaque I find that I also don't get the dreaded "fuzzy" teeth feeling.I also feel like because this cleans so well my breath stays fresher longer throughout the day. I have used electric toothbrushes in the past but I was using a manual one previous to this spin brush and they all pale in comparison.
I really noticed how well this works when I used it on the back of my bottom teeth. I have a permanent retainer there and after using this brush on it I could feel every ridge and surface of the glue and wires, this is a feeling I usually only get after a proper dental cleaning. I was very pleasantly surprised.
I was sent this but the price is great for an electric toothbrush, you don't need to spends 100s of dollars on a quality toothbrush.
I absolutely love it and have full confidence that it's keeping my teeth looking good. Definitely a great buy!
