This mascara has a drier formula which I love. It allows you to build volume quickly and easily, while also adding length. The shade blackest black is also very black and pigmented. The only downside to this mascara seems to be that it dries out quicker than others I have used, mainly because the formula does start out on the drier side. I started noticing it not performing quite as well at the 3 month mark.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely and I already have. Even though this mascara dries out more quickly, the benefits far outweigh that negative. It’s also drugstore pricing so I’m not mad about having to buy it more often.

Dove Powder Anti-Perspirant Stick
I absolutely love this deodorant. It always leaves my underarms with a soft finish and it keeps me dry the longest out of all deodorants I have tried. Additionally, the scent is not too overpowering. You do need to be careful with white marks though!

I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Chick Advisor.
The packaging of this lip balm is very adorable. I love the mint green colour, which has a slight sparkle to it, and the spherical casing. It has a smooth matte texture. There is a small depression on the side of the sphere to make it easier to open, which I appreciate. Once you unscrew the product, you immediately smell the most delicious mint scent. The mint scent doesn't smell exactly like mint, but a sweeter version of the real herb. I really enjoy it!
The balm itself is shaped in a sphere, and is white/cream in appearance. However, when you apply the product it goes on translucent or clear. This lip balm adds a slight shine to your lips, but it is not too much, if that is not something that you like. You will notice upon the application of this specific flavour that there will be a slight tingling on your lips. This is from the mint flavour, and I quite like it. The tingling is not too intense. If you happen to lick your lips while you are wearing this lip balm, you will notice that it tastes just as good as it smells! Gotta say that I love mint flavours! The only thing that slightly bothers me about the shape of the lip balm is that it is a bit awkward to apply. Because it is in a large sphere shape, it is hard to apply to the inner corners of your lips accurately, and you have to open your mouth quite wide. This may look a little strange to any onlookers. However, if it's a great lip balm, who cares?
When you apply the product, it applies very smoothly and in a uniform layer. There is no tugging on application. The consistency is a bit stiffer, likely because it has wax in it, but this is a good thing. When you coat your lips with it, a thin but durable layer of lip balm applies. Because this lip balm is less slippy, it will last longer on your lips and you won't have to reapply as much after drinking and eating.
This lip balm does a pretty good job of providing lasting hydration. I have chronically dry lips, so finding a hydrating lip balm is very important to me. This lip balm definitely suits all of my needs, although I think there is room for improvement with how hydrating it is. My lips never feel like they are dried out when I wear this lip balm, however by the end of the day I do feel like they could be a bit more hydrated. This may only be because I do have such naturally dry lips.
Something that I really appreciate is that eos has made the effort to make sure that this lip balm, and all others in this line are made with 100% natural ingredients and are certified organic. This is extremely important, given that you wear lip balm around your mouth, and you inevitably eat a bit of it during drinking and eating. The products that you wear on your lips should be as safe as possible!
This lip balm is so incredibly affordable for how great of a job it does. Price varies by retailer, however, eos Lip Balms are usually under $5 CAD. You also get 0.25 oz of product, which is a very good amount for that price.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this lip balm and I will be repurchasing in the future. I am definitely eager to also explore the other flavours offered in this line.

Before actually knowing what the claims of this lipstick were, I gave it a wear test. Upon first application, I was delightfully surprised. It was extremely emollient, and felt like a gel-type of lipstick. The texture is exactly as if you are wearing lip balm, it is so smooth and glides on very evenly with no tugging or effort at all. It also applies thinly, so you don’t have to be afraid of it wearing out of your lipline. I did not wear a lip liner with this lipstick. Although it applies in a thin layer, it is extremely pigmented with one swipe. You do not need to layer it and it is not patchy. When I was first applying it, it definitely reminded me of the Smashbox Legendary lipstick, however the Smashbox lipstick is a tiny bit stiffer, and less emollient.
The finish of this lipstick is quite glossy and looks very luscious. It just makes your lips look downright juicy. Again, it is lip balm-like. Throughout the day, although it was not transfer proof (and it does not claim to be), the pigment still remained through eating and drinking, requiring barely any touch ups. This lipstick lasted well on me for 5 hours and was hydrating. A 5 hour wear time is amazing for a lipstick that is not matte. Moreover, in terms of hydration, I naturally have very dry and sensitive lips, and even some lip balms can dry out my lips. That being said, by the end of the day of wearing this lipstick, my lips had not gained any texture or areas where they felt like they might peel. Additionally, when this lipstick does wear down, the glossiness goes down without the loss of pigmentation. And most of all, the pigmentation wears down evenly! So you do not need to be worrying about constantly looking in the mirror as the day goes on, wondering if you need to touch up.In conclusion, I believe that this lipstick is great. It’s moisturizing, long-wearing for a hydrating lipstick, and it is very pigmented. While I am not typically one to spend $40 on one lipstick, I might consider it in the future if I do run through my sample, or if I want to try out some of the different colours in the line (there are 24!). However, one thing to keep in mind is that this is only a review of one colour in the line. Depending on the type of pigment, lipsticks can wear and perform differently within the same line of products. However, this is not always the case, sometimes one colour can be representative of the rest.

I have been using this on my under eye in an attempt to diminsh fine lines caused by dehydration. I have not noticed any change since the start of using this product two weeks ago. When you first apply it, it does smooth out texture, but it doesn't seem to have any lasting effects for the skin. -

China glaze is my favourite nail polish brand to use. I truly believe that it has hardeners that work incorporated into the formula, and the colours usually dry very fast (it does depend on the colour). They are affordable, and have an amazing range of colours. I have ~170 nail polishes, and probably ~100 of them are china glaze. If that isn't a testimonial to how good they are, then I don't know what is. -

I have been buying OPI nail polishes for probably 13 years.. They never stop coming out with new and beautiful colours. They wear without chipping for a reasonable amount of time and they apply really nicely. I like that the formula is usually thinner, because it means that it dries quicker and it makes layering easier. However, OPI is not the first nail polish brand that I turn to because it is a bit more on the expensive side. -
