I am always a bit skeptical when trying new cream eyeshadows as so many formulas end up creasing, but I had nothing to worry about when it came to these shadows. I LOVE these! These shadows are nicely pigmented with light shimmer and come in really wearable natural tones. These apply easily- with a flat brush, or even just your finger, and are easy to blend out. Once they set they stay put until you take them off without fading or smudging. Great on their own or as a base for powder shadows. I can't say enough about these! If you love MAC Paint Pots- honestly, who doesn't? Than these are totally worth trying. -

I didn't love this when I first started using it, but after a few tries, I was totally into it. I love how this gives me excellent length and additional fullness without getting clumpy. The formula is easy to build on lashes and wears well through the day- no flaking or smudging. The brush is fairly large, but not so much so that it's difficult to use, and gets right in there to all my lashes with little effort. Overall, this is a great mascara, even better when you can find it on sale! -
DiorSkin Forever Compact
I usually wouldn't spend quite so much on a powder, but I splurged and picked this up as a little Birthday gift to myself. Greatest. Gift. Ever! This is the smoothest, silkiest, creamiest powder I've ever used. It's just so smooth. It disappears on... +
I usually wouldn't spend quite so much on a powder, but I splurged and picked this up as a little Birthday gift to myself. Greatest. Gift. Ever! This is the smoothest, silkiest, creamiest powder I've ever used. It's just so smooth. It disappears on skin and sets makeup beautifully. Pricey, but a really nice powder if you're feeling indulgent. -

I really love this mascara!
I had finally decided on a higher end mascara that I loved (and seemed worth the $35 price tag) then I tried this (it was on sale, who can pass up sale mascara?) I wasn't expecting amazing results, but I was totally surprised by how much I love it.
It makes my lashes look bolder, thicker, darker and longer without looking clumpy or overly made up. The fibres really do give a bit of extra length without having to layer on a lot of mascara. I curl my lashes before applying this and get great results every time. I've already bought a few extra tubes!

After hearing how great the "orange" CoverGirl mascara was I decided to give it a try. I always like to have at lease one waterproof option in my mascara stash, so I opted for the waterproof formula.
Mistake? I didn't find that this was all that great of a mascara. It did get a bit better after the first use and it had a little bit of time to 'mature' but it just didn't deliver amazing results. It didn't really thicken, it didn't lengthen as well I had hoped. Overall, it was decent, but not worth a repurchase.

I don't have a baby, nor do I look after babies, but I do use this shampoo to wash my makeup brushes.
This is gentle enough that it is kind to my big soft brushes, but still strong enough to cut through the oils and buildup in my foundation brushes. It's cheaper and more accessible than a brush specific cleanser and it gets the job done well. A !

So, I don't have a baby, nor do I look after any babies, but I love these!
I bought a tub after a friend said she used them for a ton of different (non baby) things. I thought it was an interesting idea. I'm totally hooked now. I use these to take the bulk of my makeup off before my skin care routine, I place one on my vanity when I do my makeup so I can spot clean my brushes as I apply and to clean my hands and place excess product, I use them to wipe off acetone from my hands after removing nail polish.. the list goes on. They're great! They have no scent, are a nice size, and are wet enough to remove pretty much all of my makeup. I still cleanse afterwards, but I have not had any reaction from them.
I first bought the tub, then the replacement bag of 216 for like $12. Compared to facial wipes that is a HUGE discount. I wondered if they would stay moist enough over the long haul, and after a few months of use, they're still going strong. I highly recommend these, even if you are baby-less!

When this first came out I really wanted to try it, but I was a bit shocked at the price; it's way more than you'd expect from a drugstore foundation (avg $17 CAD). I bought it anyway, and am SUPER happy that I did.
This is one of my all time favourites and I've tried quite a few (from $8 - $50 ) The colour match is perfect for me (I'm a tad lighter than a NW20) in the shade 310 Flax. I can apply this quickly, without having to worry about blending enough as it melds in with my skin effortlessly. The texture is light on the skin, but you still get a decent amount of coverage. Unlike other Cover Girl foundation formulas this does not have that overly synthetic floral scent, it's fresh and almost odorless.
I really love this and recommend completely!

Note: Nailpolishcanada.com also carries Butter London (I buy 80% of my polish from them!) or you can purchase direct from Butterlondon.ca
Butter London is a newer brand to my ever growing polish collection (300 ) but it is one I really love. The bottles are unique squared rectangles, but the tops pop off to reveal a round cap/brush. The branding all has a distinctly British flair; as do the polish names themselves. So far I've had almost zero issues with the brand.The only shade that I had issues with was No More Waity, Katie (the Kate Middleton shade) and I got amazing customer service from Butter London. These are a bit pricier than your average polish, but they are defiantly worth the splurge every now and then.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15

I had heard great things about these, but I already had soo many balms that I couldn't justify the twenty some odd dollars for one.
That was before I tried them. OMG! These are seriously lovely lip balms. They moisturize really well, smell divine (like lemon sugar!) and feel so soothing on dry damaged lips. There are also tinted versions, I have the rose (pink tint) and plum (berry purple tint) and am a total Fresh addict.
