This is one of my favourite toners. I purchased it to replace my Ren Skincare AHA Toner and I think it's a good swap. Leaves skin smooth and fresh. I have noticed a reduction of blackheads while using this day and night. It is not offensively scented. Price point is excellent for a quality product. This is my second bottle and I will continue to purchase. -

To be honest, the concept of watermelon scented skincare, whether it be high or low end, does not appeal to me at all. It seems somewhat childish. However, I was given this cleanser to try and I begrudgingly tried it that night. I find myself reaching for it every time I wash my face now. It's a lightly foaming cleanser that leaves my skin clean but not tight or dried out. I use this as a second cleanse after my makeup removing oil cleanse step so I cannot speak to its makeup removing ability but as a second cleanse, it is pretty darn good. The delish scent is also a nice pick me up. Price is excellent. -

This is a wonderful foundation for oily skin. The shade range is huge which means everyone can find a match, including me with my ghastly white skin! Oil control throughout the day is exceptional. I still have to powder about halfway through the day but I always have to powder at least once so that's not a big deal. Coverage is definetly full and best applied with a beauty blender. Love that it has a pump. I took a few points off because it is quite expensive for a mid range brand but is a good quality overall. Will be repurchasing. -

This is my holy grail of sunscreens for the face. I have oily skin that is terribly acne prone and so I find most sunscreens I have tried for the face have made me break out. Obviously sun protection is a must so I either had to choose between going without protection or using protection that my skin hated. Enter Clinique City Block. This is a physical sunscreen which I usually find gives me a white cast but this one is ever so slightly tinted so I find that counteracts the whiteness quite well. High SPF which is a plus for me. Wears comfortably under makeup and does not cause excessive oiliness. It is affordable and the tube is quite large so I see this going a long way. A definite repurchase for me! -
COVERGIRL Clean Matte BB cream

I was not expecting to like this at all. I was looking for a lighter option to wear in place of my normal ELDW. I saw that this had good reviews online and decided to give it a go. For $7 from Wal-mart, why not? It has exceeded my expectations entirely! I apply it with a damp beauty blender and it gives a beautiful finish that is definitely matte but not corpse matte. My skin still feels as though it has some life in it. The colour selection is inadequate though. The lightest shade is still a hair too dark for me but it is definitely workable. This product keeps my skin looking flawless but still lets my skin show through at the same time. Wear time on my extremely oily skin is really very good. I blot at lunch time as always but I don't look like a greasy mess. All in all, a great product at a great price point. Will keep this in my stash going forward. -

These Go Tabs are a great alternative to gum/mints. Pop one in your mouth, chew, swish and swallow (or spit out if you prefer). I keep a pack of these at my desk at work. Great for banishing coffee breath and the "I had too much garlic and onions with lunch" stink. I find these to be more powerful than gum and mints and therefore more effective for me. They are more expensive but because of their effectiveness, I have no problem paying extra for them. A definite repurchase! -

I have never used a peel off mask before and I have to say, I think its a really cool idea. It is a little difficult to apply as it has a very sticky, glue-like texture. It does dry down rather quickly which would make this a convenient mask to do in the morning before applying makeup or when you are running short on time. I did find that my face felt soft and clean after use. My only issue with this is I found it hard to peel off. It seemed to peel off in little clumps so I ended up just rinsing it off which worked fine. I think in order to have it peel off better, a thicker layer may be needed. I will try that next time I use the mask. Otherwise, this is a unique face mask and I will add it to my mask rotation. -

As the title stated, this is my holy grail spot concealer. I love that there are two different colours that can be blended together to create the perfect match. The concealer itself is such a unique consistency to me. I find most creamy concealers to not work well on my oily skin. They slip right off. Not so with this one. It is almost a drier consistency which means it stays a lot better on my skin. My only qualm with this one is it is NOT a good under eye concealer. I tried to use this on my under eye discolorations and it was a mess. Accentuated every fine line. Awful. But for covering blemishes and redness on other parts of my face, its a godsend! It is expensive so definitely a splurge item but it lasts forever so I guess you get what you pay for in that regard. I will always have a compact of this in my makeup bag. A must try for oily skinned individuals! -

I did enjoy using the product as it was easy to use and I did notice my hands looked and felt better after I took the mask off. My cuticles also looked well moisturized which is something I struggle with so that was nice to see. My only qualm about this product is the wastefulness aspect. I am trying to cut down on my use of plastics so this unfortunately will not fit in to my life style. I did however enjoy the product itself and will absolutely try other Aveeno products for deep moisturization in the future. -

I have never used a foot mask before and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I applied the mask booties after giving my feet a good scrub and left on for the recommended 10 minutes. My feet came out super soft and moisturized. The cuticles on my toe nails seemed to be smoothed out as well. The product itself was easy to use, not overly greasy, and pretty quick. Although I found this fun and enjoyable to use, the reason I marked it as a "will not rebuy" is that I am looking to reduce my use of plastic materials and this is pretty wasteful to me. But I would repurchase the cream formula on its own to use with just a regular pair of my own socks as the formula is quite good. -
