To preface this, I have very, VERY dry skin. I have a hard time finding a foundation that doesn't look cakey on me and flake off within hours.
I went into Sephora in search of a new foundation, and one of the sales associates recommended this product for my dry skin.
I purchased the shade 1.1. I tried applying this product three different ways: with my fingers, with a brush, and with a beauty blender. The beauty blender seemed to work the best.
I found this product wasn't as drying as a lot of foundations I've tried, but it isn't the best for dry skin either. The coverage was quite good, I'd say medium coverage. I used a setting spray, and it seemed to last fairly well.
This isn't my first choice in foundation for dry skin, but it isn't too bad either.

Like so many others, I discovered this product through NikkieTutorials on Youtube, where she showed how to use it as a makeup primer.
Always intrigued by using products for a completely different purpose than their intended purpose, I went out and purchased this to give it a whirl.
As a makeup primer, I have to say that I love it! It truly does make my makeup stay put all day long, and ranks up there with high-end primers that I paid a fortune for.
The only con for me is that it's a little bit hard to just get a small amount out of the bottle. But at $6.99, that's not a huge issue for me :)

On the recommendation of multiple YouTube beauty gurus, I made a Colourpop order of several products. In that order, I purchased the highlighter in the shade "Wisp".
So far, I am very satisfied with this highlighter. The consistency is beautiful - it's almost like butter. It looks powdery when it's brand new in the pan, but is actually super creamy.
The colour of this one I find to be similar to Becca's "Opal" highlighter. This is such a pretty shade that I think compliments many different skin tones.
Overall, I am very happy with this product and can't think of any cons to mention.

After seeing so many YouTube beauty gurus raving about Colourpop, I finally broke down and placed my order.
I only ordered one Lippie Pencil to start, just to see if I liked the formula before I ordered more. I got Tootsi and the matching Tootsi Lippe Stix.
However, I have to say that I can not recommend the Lippie Pencil. Either I got a completely defective pencil, or it is impossible to twist up more product. I tried for so long to get more product to advance, and even my husband, who can bench press 350 pounds, gave it a go. Nothing.
The little bit of product I did get to try was nice, but I've never had product that was so impossible to use. I will stick with the numerous other Colourpop products that I am loving so far :)

After seeing so many YouTube beauty gurus rave about Colourpop, I finally broke down and placed my order. I received two Lippie Stix in my order: Tootsi and Aquarius. I am in LOVE. Aquarius is my favourite, such a gorgeous nude shade. And while these are perfectly matte, they don't dry your lips out or look patchy. And they last SO LONG. I've never had a lip product before that lasts as long as these do. I will definitely be purchasing more! -

During the dry winters, my lips get so dry and chapped that they look awful and feel miserable. No amount of chap stick can stop it from happening.
Finally, I found this product that actually is able to combat the chapping, when double teamed with chap stick.
This scrub is gentle, and you need very, very little of it to do the job. It helps to remove the dead skin and moisturize, and makes your lips ready to receive lip balm and lip colour. It also smells really nice, and is made out of all food-grade materials, so you don't have to be worried about ingesting any of it :)
I highly recommend this product!

JOICO K-PAK Reconstructor Deep Penetrating Treatment
While this product is one the pricey side, I believe it is worth the cost. It works so well with my hair, leaving it so soft and healthy feeling without weighing it down or looking greasy afterward. Plus, it just smells SO amazing!!

I am an oatmeal lover. I eat it every day, sometimes for more than one meal. I normally make my own from scratch, but sometimes life is just too crazy, so that's when I turn to Quaker's Instant Oatmeal packets. They are super quick and easy to whip up, and taste great. Not as good as the old fashioned way, but still very nice :) -
Honey Nut Cheerios Hearty Oat Crunch
This is a really nice change from the classic Honey Nut Cheerios. The bits of granola make it super crunchy and add a nice flavor. I would recommend this!
