I picked this up since the beauty blender craze pulled me in. I'd watched so many videos with mua using them, but thought it was not going to work that well for me. But, I see a huge difference in the application with this compared to my brushes and fingers. I wish I started using it earlier! -

I love this face gel. It is not heavy or sticky like some creams, it smells heavenly and feels super refreshing. This has very quickly become my favourite- it goes everywhere with me now. I am definitely hooked.
This will sound silly, but just smelling it melts a bit of my stress away!

I figured out something today! Here is a product review and a mystery solved:
TL;DR- Don't use Radiant Colgate Optic White Beauty toothpaste. It causes sensitivity, burns, cuts and other unpleasant side effects, well documented by lots of other consumers. Hydrogen peroxide in toothpaste = OUCH!
I have been using the Colgate Optic White Beauty toothpaste on and off for a few months. It seemed to work quite well at whitening my teeth, but I didn't like how sensitive my mouth felt so would only use it 2/3 times a week. I didn't think much of it at the time.
During this time, I also started having issues with the swelling of my tongue, sore skin in my mouth, cuts on my lips, cuts in the corner of my lips and pain. I thought it was something to do with my diet, and tried making some changes. I couldn't figure out what was going on. I've been using chapstick regularly, and still this kept happening.
Today I was looking for causes of this and remedies online, and stumbled across other compaints from people who had issues with the Colgate Optic White toothpaste. They sound very similar to mine. I realized that the soreness and cuts always matched when I was using the toothpaste. I just used it before I started googling the issue, and feel silly for not realizing this was causing it earlier. My tongue is definitely swollen, my mouth is sore, the cuts keep opening up- and all of it seems much more painful right after brushing my teeth with this toothpaste tonight.
I am very concerned that this product is still on shelves when there are so many people who have had bad reactions to it. I have trusted the Colgate brand for most of my life, and I am very disappointed to have had this experience with this product. It's gotten to the point where every time I open my mouth to eat something or yawn, the cuts in the corner of my mouth open up again.
I'd highly recommend avoiding this toothpaste, or seeing if you have the same issues before using it everyday. I'm writing to Colgate to complain about this product, and hope this review helps some of you not go through the same pain as I did!

CND CREATIVE PLAY Nail Lacquer
The base coat is nice, even by itself. It's fast drying, smooth and very easy to apply. The crimson like it's hot colour is a deep, mesmerizing colour that is reminiscent of Christmas. It's definitely going to be my holiday go to this year... +

Dove® Regenerative Nourishment Serum-In-Oil
This product smoothes frizzed, calms split ends and increased hair shine. Though the fragrance is strong, it is quite nice. This seems to be a nice quick styling product. I can definitely see myself adding it to my routine.

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Féline Mascara
#findyourfeline! This new mascara packs quite a punch. It lengthens and darkens lashes to the max. I like the different bristles, they did their work within two swipes. I have never had a mascara work this well for me before. Meow!

This product provides a nice priming effect for skin. I loved how smooth it made my face. It didn't help me with shine, pore burring or evening my skin tone. I have some discoloured spots, so it couldn't do enough. I enjoy the feeling of it though, it can be used as a protective layer to keep skin happy in the winter.
I received this product to test for free from ChickAdvisor.

A great, refreshing exfoliating wipe, it got all my foundation, concealer and makeup off properly. It left a cooling feeling on my face, and definitely made me feel like I had washed it clean. I liked the texture of the wipes, and that it was formulated for sensitive skin. I am especially happy about lack of parabens and perfumes. #simpleskincare keeps your skin fresh even on the go. -
