I've heard great things about essence make up - it's affordable and supposedly high quality. One time when I was travelling, I misplaced my mascara and decided to pick this up as a quick replacement. Unfortunately, the brush does not work with my short Asian lashes - I end up getting more mascara on my lids than on my lashes ...
Pros:
- cheap / affordable
Cons:
- brush is not good for short lashes (the bristles are short, so in order to get the product on your lashes, you need to bring it real close to your eye)
- brush does not "comb" out lashes, making it clumpy (again a fault with the brush, because it is not staggered, it is difficult to comb out short lashes without touching your lids)
I have yet to find a drugstore brand of mascara that works well for me ... so I am still looking. For now, I love using Benefit They're Real and MUFE Extravagant Lashes. Other mascaras that I would also recommend (aka runner ups) are Lancome Hypnose Drama, YSL Babydoll, Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir.

I've been using ecotools for as long as I can remember, it's (more than) affordable and they're great quality ! I used to own MAC and Sephora brushes but I find that ecotools actually lasts longer when it comes to the quality of the bristles over time.
Pros:
- extremely affordable, I would actually say a steal
- available at Walmart/Winners
- picks up pigment very well
- soft on the face
- easy to clean
- sustainable
- cruelty free
Cons:
- none
I love ecotools because each brush have multi-usage. I typically use this brush to blend out my contouring or for bronzing.

I always always carry lip balm in my purse because it's a staple for dry lips - but what about all the other parts of my body? This is the perfect solution for soothing dry skin, scars, etc. I find it particularly useful for my hands after working out, and i'm seeing my skin starting to peel. This is perfect !! I would definitely recommend it. I think it would be perfect for travel too -

I have this in the Shea Butter, Mint, and Lemon flavours.
Pros:
- has SPF
Cons:
- lots of excess packaging for the amount of product it contains
- does not really moisturize my lips (just sits on top)
- very thick, not natural looking when I apply it
- pretty expensive for the little tube
I'm a big fan of the Blistex (specifically the berry kind) and I still haven't found anything that is a better value or better for moisturizing my lip.

I was previously using the older version of the Garnier Whole Blends collection - the honey scent. When I finish my bottle, I'll probably get this one next !

Got a free sample of this through Chorus (and it came with a bunch of other samples).
I never got the chance to use this for a while since I don't really have joint problems. When I sprained my ankle, I tried to use it - but I felt like it made it feel worst !! I also tried it on my wrist and back after a long day at work, but couldn't really tell if it was doing anything. Overall definitely don't recommend

I got a coupon in the mail from So Delicious to redeem any cashew frozen dessert for free. In return, here is my honest review of this product.
My mom is lactose intolerant and have always hated the fact that she can't ever have more than one small bite of dessert. This was perfect for her and it tastes great for people like me who don't need to eat dairy free ! We tried the coconut almond bars and it's absolutely delicious. We've repurchased this a few times already and used all the extra coupons (save $1) that were sent in the mail !
