MAC Blush has become a staple in my makeup bag! It's pigmented so a little goes a long way. It's smooth when applied and spreads evenly. It has a very natural color which I like and it blends in beautifully with every bronzer I have ever used. I have had mine for about a year and I'm still no where close to being finished. Definitely worth the price! -

This flat iron is one of the BEST flat irons on the market.
Working in a hair salon for many years, I have seen this be used on just about EVERY SINGLE hair type. Thick, coarse, dry, you name it. Perfect results, every time.
The technology varies from most standard flat irons. Nano titanium plates with ceramic heaters generate a ton of negative ions to seal in moisture, add silky shine, and prolong the hairstyle. I have yet to see another flat iron obtain results like this flat iron.
The plates also have their own heating elements which means that it heats up FAST and is distributed evenly throughout the entire plate.
What I personally love is that you don't need to run the iron through your hair over and over. I have had mine for years and it's still going strong. Best investment I have ever made for my hair.

Essie Nail Polish

Essie is the only nail polish I can put away for two winters and still get use out of it! It glides on perfectly and is very opaque. No need for triple and quadruple coats. 100+ different shades. I will pay the price if it means I can open a bottle six months after no use. I have lost so much money on nail polish that are now stuck because of months of no use. -

I purchase this item a few months ago when I decided to opt for a drugstore primer as opposed to one from a specialty store.
The consistency is VERY THICK. I found that it just sat on my skin and trying to spread it didn't help to accomplish much either.
It was even worse after applying my foundation. I could see the built up of product poke right through. This didn't meet my expectation at all. And for that price ($20 at Shoppers Drug Mart), I was really disappointed. I believe there are some amazing hidden drugstore products out there. This just isn't one of them.

The Face Shop: Mild Papaya Peeling

How to use: Wash face with cleanser, dry your face slightly so that it's still damp, squeeze a penny size amount onto fingers and work the product into your skin using a circular motion. It works great on the t-zone area and areas where cleansers don't always remove impurities (ex. neck and jawline).
What is so great about this is that you can actually SEE the dead skin slowly coming off as you're working the peel in. Don't be alarmed, this is nothing close to a mechanical peel you get done at a medical spa, it's gentle on even the most sensitive skin types (my sister swears by it as she has very sensitive skin and this is the only exfoliator/peel that doesn't make her break out).
FYI: My skin is really oily and can feel rough at times. I typically use this the night before I'm going out. It leaves your skin feeling like a baby's bottom the morning after. It will help your makeup look flawless, trust me.
It's a MIRACLE product and if you haven't tried it, YOU MUST!!

By far one of the GREATEST shows I have ever watched. It's action-packed, hilarious (in a dark humorous kind of way), violent and surprisingly romantic at times. These group of men are the epitome of real, no-nonsense fellas.
This show definitely wouldn't have been included in my top shows to watch, but after giving it a chance, I grew to love it.
The acting is on point, the characters traits develop so well throughout the seasons and just when you think all is well, the tables are turned (pun intended).
Viewer discretion is advised. Not recommended for children.

Clean and Clear has always been a safe choice for a facial cleanser. I have used 100% organic homemade face washes all the way up to the high-end department store brands. There will always be products that work better than others, however, when I stumbled upon Clean and Clear's Night Relaxing cleanser, I was curious to try it (don't know of any brand that carries a cleanser for night time).
I absolutely love it! It really gets in deep to clean away EVERYTHING on your face. You can feel your makeup and built up gunk coming right off. It's not over-drying, harsh or irritating.
If there is anything I have learned, if a product's first ingredient is WATER, that is a good sign.
It's a simple, yet effective cleanser that gets the job done without all the fancy terminology and spa-like packaging.

If you're looking for a Greek yogurt that is healthy to eat and tastes good, look no further!
It has 0% fat which you can enjoy freely and has 8% protein. I have one of these almost every other day as a mid-day snack. They keep you full and taste so good! Especially when you mix the fruits on the bottom with the rest of the yogurt. A lot of other brands offer the same concept, except with a ton more sugar and fat.
They also come in other flavors too: Honey, Pineapple, Raspberry-Pomegranate, Blueberry and Key lime!

Palmolive really understands the frustration of washing greasy dishes with bare hands. This product is packed with cleaning power and yet, is so gentle on the hands. I wash all my pots and pans by hand and this is the only product I know will have them squeaky clean (unlike it's counterpart brands). No filmy, greasy residue.
Bonus: It will have your sink smelling great!
One thing I have noticed.. why don't these ever come in a pump bottle? Mine always slips out of my hand when I need more dish soap. Packaging costs, maybe?

Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars

The sound of cranberries and dark chocolate didn't sound appetizing to me a first. I received a bunch of samples at an outdoor event and thought I'd give them a try anyway. They're chewy, crunch and sweet! The dark chocolate has a subtle kick to it which is great! It really helps to mellow down the tartness of the berries. The infusion of all the different textures makes for a great snack bar :) -
