Nyx liquid suede matte liquid lipstick
This stuff is pretty amazing. It dries matte, stays on for hours. Nyx liquid suedes are my go to lip products. There's a huge range of colours ranging from nudes to very vibrant shades. Coloura for everyone! I highly recommend them.

First off, let me just start this review by saying, I love this mascara! I was in Shopper's Drug Mart one day and I came across Essence products. There was just a small display of products and I didn't think much of it. I was on the hunt for a new mascara but wasn't really in the mood to spend a lot of money. I had heard/read good things about the little felt tip liquid liner so I decided to grab both. I chose the volume boost mascara because I had tried others with the promise of volume boosting and was let down.. The tube itself is about the size of a highlighter/thick sharpie. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from such a cheaply priced product but I was pleasantly surprised. Many 'volume boosting' mascaras just ended up clumping up my lashes, especially on my right eye. Thankfully this didn't. The brush is nice and fluffy and thick but does well to get into the roots of the lashes. It tapers a bit near the end of the brush so you can catch the little lashes at the outer corners of the eyes. I don't use it so much on my bottom lashes because of how thick the brush is, it can leave streaks under your eyes if you have shorter bottom lashes. I don't find the mascara to be too thick but sometimes it can get a bit goopy on the brush. I read somewhere once that if you put a little bit of contact lens solution in the mascara it can help thin it out a bit, so I decided to try it; I put a few drops onto the brush then mixed it around (no, I did not 'pump' the brush in the tube) and it made it so that the mascara went onto my lashes smoother and I didn't get any little bits hanging off the end of my lashes. I have a lot of eyelashes but they aren't really long (aside from a few crazy ones) and this mascara made them look long and full, kind of like wearing natural false lashes. I will definitely be getting more essence products in the future. -

I've been looking for nude matte shades for a while, without having to travel far or order online. The stores in y town have limited selections of makeup so it's a task to find something that will do the job. I've been using Hard Candy Cosmetics for a while now and was very happy to come across this in my local Walmart Superstore. It was only about $5 and some change and I love it. The colours in it are very soft and velvety. I'm somewhat fair skinned so it can be difficult to find browns that don't come out too orangey on my skin, and these work pretty well. For my contouring, I will usually use a mix of he light brown and the darker mushroom grey colour (in picture, from top I use the second colour mixed with the 6th colour). I like to experiment with the different brown/grey tones for contouring and smokey eyes. The colours come out fairly true to shade when put on the skin which is good because I've had colours that looked wonderful in the case but the colour pay off was less than expected... Though there is still some fall out because of how soft the shadows are, I would still recommend this palette for anyone looking for good, inexpensive matte nude shades. -

I know this isn't a 'new product'.... and honestly, I don't really go for the brand spanking new products. I'm sure many people already have this but I love it so I wanted to review it...
It took some getting used to at first; I had to remind myself that it is a gel liner and not liquid. I love gel liners and the fact that this is in pen form... perfect!
After taking the protective piece off of the top and turning the bottom I started getting nervous because the recommended one or two clicks wasn't cutting it; it took around 20 or so. I thought I had a dud but alas, product found it's way to the opening. Now to play...
I have hooded lids, one a bit more than the other so I always had difficulties with liquid liners but the They're Real Push Up Liner definitely makes it easier.
Even though I love the pin-up winged liner, I'm not the best at it but my gosh, I did it.
The pen top is amazing. It's very smooth across the lid and gets right into the lash line. (it makes tight lining so easy!). It works like an angle brush but better because there are no bristles that can get pushed out of place and mess up your work, only a flexible silicone chisel tip.
Other black gel liners I've used had a green, grey or sometimes navy tint to them but this liner is actually black... matte black, which we all know is a staple in everyone's makeup kit.
It stayed on all day even when I was at work for hours with my head in steam.. It was crazy to come home and find my liner still in place. It lasted even through a shower! I broke the cardinal rule of beauty and didn't take my makeup off before bed and about 90% of it was still on the next morning. Taking it off was a bit of a task but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The They're Real Makeup remover (which I have not yet tried), will be a fantastic companion I'm sure.

Hello everyone!
Over the years I have tried many different kinds of hairspray. I have hair that usually does what it wants even if I spend hours styling it and taming it down. I've tried high end hairsprays and cheaper brands with no luck. That's when I found got2B! I had used the mousses and gels from the line but they didn't do quite what I was hoping. The Guardian Angel spray actually held my curls like no other could. I live in Ontario so our summers are known to be pretty humid. Most days this hairspray would keep the crazy frizzies in tact, obviously not all because the humidity would eventually cause the product to melt. Generally I quite like this hairspray but there are a couple things I`m not such a fan of. First being the smell. In the beginning it`s like a punch in the face. Its a very strong somewhat fruity smell. After the product haze dies down a little bit its tolerable. Second being the nozzle. I`ve been told differently from some people I know who have also used this, but I find it to have a rather wide fan of spray so it has a tendency to get on your face and neck and sometimes things you`re standing near. I would prefer a more aimed spray for times when I don't want my whole head sprayed. The nozzle can also lea to an overspray and deposit too much product on the hair, leaving it a bit crispy. All in all, I would recommend this product, especially for you ladies (and gentlemen) with unruly hair.
Happy hairstyling.
