I've yet to see these in store in Canada, although they are supposed to be carried at Wal-Mart. I received the Citrus Collection from their PR firm and initially wondered about what sort of quality you could expect from a $1.99 nail polish but the shades I tried (Show Stopper, Can't Stop and Excuse Me) were all great. The formula differed from shade to shade but overall these preformed just as well as polishes that cost much more. Although it's always best to apply a top coat over polish, these had a really shiny finish and wear well for 4-5 days. Definitely worth the $1.99! -

I've used wipes once in the past and was never really a fan- I find the whole experience just feels odd... but I was willing to try these. I personally, don't love the feeling of them in action and the wet bum part, but as a product these work well. They don't have too much scent, they're not too thick (they don't clog) yet they're thick enough to work well. These likely won't be something I'd buy all the time, but they are a great product otherwise.

I received this as part of the Product Review Club (thank you!)
I feel a bit odd reviewing toilet paper, but it is an essential so I guess it does make sense. I liked this toilet paper as it's soft and thick (but not too thick that it clogs) and feel like a good toilet paper. We've all cheaped out at one time or another an bought the bargain brand only to find it was terrible. As mentioned, this toilet paper feels really nice, is soft without being linty and durable. All in all it's a great product.

Nyx Concealer in a Jar

This is a great little concealer!
I mostly only use it for under my eyes as it doesn't really have the best formula for blemishes. It's thin, yet creamy and it applies nicely with a brush. The coverage is light-medium and looks really natural- it doesn't get cakey and it melds onto skin (ie. it doesn't just sit on skin and look like you've concealed something.) As much as I like this concealer, I find that because it's creamy it does settle into fine lines under eyes, so it needs to be set well with powder. Once set it wears pretty well throughout the day.

This was the first MAC concealer I've tried, and at first thought there was no way that it was worth the price- the tube is SO tiny! Luckily, after using it I realized how little you actually need. Seriously, the smallest dot gets the job done. This concealer has medium-full coverage, which can look quite stark if not blended in well, but will truly cover anything you need covered which can really come in handy. I find that it's one of the longest lasting concealers, as it doesn't shift on skin and even wears well under eyes- I find everything creases on me, but this stays put well. Overall a great concealer to have on hand! -

I was a bit skeptical when it came to this concealer, but after trying it I have to say I love it!
I picked up the 'Brightener' shade of this, which does exactly that, it brightens the under eye area. I usually use it over a bit of normal concealer to cancel out the bulk of my under eye discolouration, I then top it off with the brightener and it just gives my eyes a boost. It makes you look less tired and gives you that fresh wide eyed, but not caked down with concealer look. The formula is thin, but it sets nicely and wears well through the day. I find most products crease under my eyes so I do set this with powder for extra last-ability.

This was one of the first concealers I ever bought and finished, so it does have a bit of a nostalgic factor.
I love the idea of a stick concealer, as they are so fast to dot on and blend in and be done with. This one in particular, has a somewhat firm texture, but if you warm it on your finger first, it applies really easily. It's best use is for on spots/blemishes as I prefer something a bit more moisturizing under my eyes, but when used over a well prepped face (ie. moisturized and primed) it does work well under eyes as well. I know I've even used just this (on super rushed days) as my base- I just dabbed it over areas that were less than perfect, blended it out and set it with powder. All in all, this is a great item to have in a makeup bag.

While I think this product may have been discontinued, it is totally worth picking up if you still can. I bought it on a whim when I saw it on sale, and it ended up being a great little concealer. The formula is lightweight, and on the thin side, but it provides pretty decent coverage. I find pretty much every concealer creases on me, but this was one concealer that did stay put well throughout the day. -

Chocolate Cherry ice cream is an all time favourite of mine, so when I saw it as a frozen yogurt ( you know, it's yogurt, so it's a bit better for you...) I had to try it.
This is so good! It's chock full of cherries and little bits of chocolate that are filled with cherry in vanilla yogurt. I was a Chapman's fan to begin with, but as long as they keep making this I'll never stop buying it. It's just that good!

I feel kind of odd proclaiming my love of a fibre supplement, but I totally do!
This is the easiest way to add a boost to your daily fibre intake as you can sprinkle in pretty much anything and not taste it. It doesn't go clumpy or gross and is easy to drink if you add it to water/juice. They also make this in packets (think Crystal Light singles) that are strawberry lemonade and they're just as great. It is a bit expensive, but totally worth the price.
