I think I have found my new go-to face primer! This is one of the most effective primers I have used to date (skin type: combination-oily). A little goes such a long way and it applies evenly without wasting any product.
Once applied, makeup application is a breeze. I realized I didn't need as much foundation because of how easily it blended over the primer.
I have extremely large pores around my nose and too little/too much product can make them appear very prominent. As long as I apply the primer all over, the area becomes more even without soaking into my pores.
One piece of advice: use very little. Too much can actually cause buildup underneath your foundation.
Overall, amazing product :)

I have oily combination oily skin and this product did not work out for me at all.
When looking at the ingredient list, you see alcohol as the second ingredient (that too, alcohol denat.) which is a simple alcohol found in anti-septic products (hand sanitizers). The product is meant to dissolve fast, but can feel very stiff and drying.
I was looking for a product that helped with the oil control, but not completely wipe away everything.

NIVEA Harmony Time Shower Cream
This is one of my favorite body washes. It lathers beautifully, has a scent that you can't get enough of (the smell lingers in my bathtub all day after use- love it) and doesn't wick away all the moisture on your skin. Highly recommend.

I was intrigued by the packaging when I saw this in the shampoo isle. I have oily hair and when I wet my hair thoroughly, I usually don't need a lot of shampoo to get the suds going. I had to pour out a lot more shampoo than I normally would and it didn't even lather properly. It just doesn't make sense for me to use this product if i'm going to be going through a bottle every few weeks.
I like the scent, although I found that it didn't last too long. What i did love was the lightness of my hair after I blow-dried my hair, if I do purchase this product again, it will only be for this reason.
I would still recommend it :)

Maxwell House Instant Coffee is a great instant coffee for all those who need something a little stronger in the morning. I love the bold, smooth taste. It took several attempts before I mastered the water-coffee ratio! You do have to be careful because this isn't like Nescafe instant coffee which is a lot more mild. I personally like a bolder, bitter taste so this works out really well. Great value as well :) -

Amazing lotion! You can feel the lotion penetrating into your skin as soon as you apply it. Leaves your skin feeling amazingly soft and moisturized even hours after application. NIVEA never fails with their product line. This line of lotion is one of my favourites. And the scent is light and airy which I like because it doesn't get in the way of my perfume scent. Would recommend to anyone with all skin types! -

I was really excited about trying these- mainly because of the cute packaging. I was very disappointed about the quality of the lip balm. It does an okay job at keeping your lips moisturized, that too only after a fresh application. I would not recommend if you are looking for a good, long-lasting moisturizer for your lips. By far one of the most expensive and least effective products I have seen. -

My favorite falsies! My makeup artist recommended these for my wedding and although they looked quite dramatic, they really brought out my eyes once applied.
They have a huge selection of lashes for all tastes and occasions. They are SUPER SOFT and the hairs are situated perfectly. Although they are a little on the pricey side, you can get up to 25 uses! I have kept mine in great condition and put them on for any special occasion. After a while, you don't even realize they're on!

Glysomed truly is the best when it comes to finding a solution for dry and chapped hands!
The thick consistency helps to absorb deep into the skin which is great when you need instant relief that lasts! A little goes a long way and I would recommend applying and letting it sit before you start working with your hands- the lotions are greasy for a a few minutes after applying. It has a mild scent which is great if you want to sleep at night without the smell of hand cream keeping you up! Last but not least, they staying power is quite impressive. I apply and hours later when I go to wash my hands, I can feel the lotion!
I love it because I'm constantly dealing with files and paperwork and am quite clumsy which leads to endless paper cuts. Glysomed is my saviour.
I definitely recommend to anyone who's constantly having to sanitize or dunking their hands in water all day or just looking for a deep moisturizing cream.

St. Ives® Cleanse & Hydrate Aloe Wipes

I loved these cleansing wipes for so many reasons!
1. They have a very, very mild scent. You won't have to hold your breath while wiping your face with these! I used this to remove my lipstick and it didn't leave any kind of residue or smell behind.
2. They're soft yet work hard to remove your makeup. Mascara did require some more effort to take off but considering how gentle it is on the skin, it's not too bad.
3. They don't dry out your skin! I usually have to lunge for my moisturizer after I'm done using my wipes, but with these wipes, I didn't need anything after and my skin looked perfectly hydrated.
All in all, great product and would recommend to anyone looking for cleansing wipes that are gentle and get the job done! And knowing that care went into the ingredients gives me the assurance I need to know my skin isn't going to react after using the wipes. I will definitely be adding this to my nightly routine!
