Love this lipstick from Nyx! The shade is gorgeous - it was formerly called 'The Big Cherry' when I bought it and has been renamed ' Firebrick'. The colour is a gorgeous shade of red- it is a cool based red with a slightly pink undertone & is very well pigmented. The texture is amazing and surprisingly stays on long without bleeding / feathering or drying; the texture is …Read more
Wow! Was surprisingly impressed by this dry shampoo! Usually, I am not a big fan of them but when I am in a pinch and don't have time to wash & condition my hair, I use dry shampoo as a last resort.
Here is the review: Ran out of dry shampoo and wanted to just pick up any at the d/s...however, the Aveeno caught my attention and so did the ingredients ( oats, peppermint & …Read more
Love this red lipstick from MAC! Bought it a while back in spring as it was a limited edition ( hope it comes back) and part of the Lunar Chinese New Year collection, hence the attractive case ; shiny and red with pretty designs.
The price was around $20 -$25( CAD) ; the packaging is sleek ; the colour itself is a straight up cool based red (read: candy red ; jellybean red ; lollipop …Read more
Love this oil spray ! IME/IMO, this smells so amazing- coconut/vanilla with a hint of banana ( or the other way around lol)... Moisturizes amazingly well and provides a beautiful , even, deep tan ; skin is not left looking dehydrated in the least. Price is good and quality is excellent. Another high quality , best value drugstore gem! 5 lippies, will r/p. **UPDATE**Loving this spray more and …Read more
Great overall moisturizing cream. There are different versions: this one is cream based and there is another one which is gel based and lighter; I chose the cream since my skin is combo/ dry.
The moisturizer comes in a jar and looks like very little product but actually lasts a good while since one only needs a little & comes with a tiny spatula. IME, this cream did not break me out …Read more
Great sunscreen for the face! Makes skin soft, moisturized and supple; doesn't cause irritation nor leave a chalky cast; spreads evenly and has pleasant scent; wears well under makeup, and does not cause breakouts or irritation. The SPF of 30 is an added bonus for protection.
In my experience, this works just as well as the Hydra Seal ( see my review); this is the new updated …Read more
Love this cream serum just as much as the one regular non- tinted non SPF one reviewed before. This is a CC cream which looks like foundation and blurs slight imperfections very well; moisturized without being heavy; does not cause irritation ; and protects from the sun. Love this brand and range of products -latest skincare technology plus great ingredients and locally made in Canada. 5 …Read more
This brush lives up to the hype and its claims- old school brand that stands the test of time...
Ordered the pure boar handy brush based on reviews ( was somewhat skeptical due to the $$$$ factor lol but took the risk anyway, which turned out to be a good one 😉).
For reference, my hair is fine-medium in texture and colour treated ( dry as a result of natural curls) so boar …Read more
Overall, this is a great product, just not for me...Giving it 4.5 lippies.
Starting with the positive aspects, Trilliant is a cross between a shine spray and a light hold hair spray minus buildup, flakes and tack; the scent is wonderful ( watermelon/cantaloupe - ish) and adds a great amount of shine when used on wet / damp or dry hair; adds slight volume & doesn't make hair …Read more
I was also pleasantly surprised by this drugstore gem! It was on sale @ SDM a while back and I decided to buy it - Wow! Did not expect the powder to work as well as it did! Leaves a great finish and doesn't cake , doesn't dry and doesn't cause irritation. Removed one lippie due to the packaging- the compact itself is great but the mirror is so tiny and awkward...Will repurchase …Read more
