Polishes -Sally Hansen - insta-dri in slick slate
rated 5 of 5

I am in love with this nail polish! I got it for under $5 at Target, and I love the formula, colour, shine, and durability! The application took me a little while to get used to because the brush is very wide (which I love) but it holds a lot of product! The colour is completely work appropriate, and sophisticated as well. The drying time also really did impress me :)

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser

This product is very controversial, however for me it was really, really good! It lathers well, cleans well, and keeps my skin very clear. It is somewhat drying but it did not irritate my skin at all, and didnt even irritate my eyes!

Lip Gloss -The Body Shop - born lippy - strawberry
rated 4 of 5

Heavenly, delicious scent, adds a rosy tint of red to my lips but is more like a tinted jelly or gloss as it doesn't help flakes or chapped lips. Works nicely over pre-moisturized lips though (:

My favourite scrub line! Beats any high end brand. ALL of the scents in the line smell wonderful and refreshing. I bought the brightening one. -Lathers well -exfoliates and deep cleans -gets rid of small bumps and dead skin -really does reveal smoother, brighter, luminous skin underneath! Looove it :) <3

Liquid -Maybelline - SuperStay Makeup - New Version
rated 4 of 5

This is definitely a full coverage foundation, and applied the wrong way could result in cakey looking results. the best way to apply this is use a very small amount and use thin coats with a foundation brush as it needs to blend seamlessly. applied correctly, it gave a very nice finish, almost didn't need to set it with powder. very good coverage, good staying power. the only thing is i wish it had a pump!

Lip Gloss -C.O. Bigelow - Mentha Lip Tint No. 1641 Magenta Mint
rated 5 of 5

I love this! My first mentha lip shine from this company was the violet mint and i love the fresh quality of it. But this one is extra good because the colour adds a believable rosy tint to my lips that doesn't look like actual lip colour! Very natural, very healing, and very nice flavour!

Mascara -Estee Lauder - More Than Mascara
rated 5 of 5

Overall I love Estee Lauder mascaras. This one in paticular is so good for pulling off naturally soft, full, long fltterly lashes. Its not dramatic but it really does do the job. My short asian lashes transfrm into beautiful long, full, thick, defined lashes. It holds curl very well, and I love to brush shape!

This is my gave brow pencil! Usually I stay away from pencils because the tip is too thick but I love this one its so precise and thin. I also love to spooly brush on the other end, it works realy well for softening the pencil lines. The shade medium brown is perfect for my black hair.

Toners -Marcelle - AC-Solution Anti-Imperfections Clarifying Lotion
rated 4 of 5
jenniviva 11/1/2011 1:39:00 AM

I only bought this about 3 days ago on sale at London Drugs (canada). I like that it contains salicyllic acid and glycolic acid in the ingredients, so I am hoping it will help clear up my skin and exfoliate off those dead skin cells. Will update in 1-2 weeks. I do like the packaging, very sleek and easy to open/close.

Cleansers -Biore - Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser
rated 4 of 5

An update on this product after about a week! At first, I loved it! It seemed gentle enough for everyday use. But after the second or third day my skin got blotchy, red, itchy, dry, i was so disappointed. So i decided to use it only EVERY OTHER day, and it works like a charm! No more irritation, and I still get to use it. So if this irritated your skin, I recommed switching to every other day use before throwing it out. :)

This is simply an amazing foundation! It made my skin look so dewy, so fresh, and flawless I didn't even need concealer! My skin looked and felt velvety and smooth! I used it for my cousin's wedding and it looked flawless ALL DAY! :)

This is the best Clean & Clear product I have tried. I have used Persa Gel (benzoyl peroxide 5%) and a different sallycilic acid treatment of theirs. ~first off, this product actually smells good ~didn't dry my skin out ~less irritating than the persa gel one ~helped reduce redness, pain and swelling withing 2-3 hours!!!!! ~overnight it works very well, i'm impressed!!!

Powder -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Medium [DISCONTINUED]
rated 2 of 5
jenniviva 8/2/2011 4:50:00 PM

I'm not a fan of this product. The powder didn't really mattify my skin, and made it very, very cakey. It also clogged my pores, which is a big no-no.
