First of all, I'd like to say thank you to BH for including this product in my mini Beautorium pack because it's slowly its way into my top 5 favourite mascaras. I generally don't like rubber and/or comb type mascara wands coz my lashes get along much better with traditional brushes. I find that the latter often provide volume and thickness which are the top two things I look for in a mascara. Then enter Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. It separates and coats every lash giving them a very defined and fluttery look. It doesn't volumise or thicken my lashes quite to my liking (I like a lot of drama on my lashes!), but it does lengthen and define them well. It also seems to hold a curl nicely although not as good as a waterproof mascara does (must find waterproof version). Interestingly enough, they make me look I'm wearing falsies (I might've whacked on a pile of coats) coz I got compliments from Vanessa when I attended the BIB Marketplace Event ;) I must also note that I have not had any issues with smudging, flaking or transferring with this mascara. I've napped in this twice and had no problems whatsoever. It also washes off easily at the end of the day which is a nice bonus. I will definitely be buying this mascara when this runs out. Maybe I'll try the waterproof version too!

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to MAC Fluidline or Bobbi Brown Gel Liner, look no further than your closest Priceline. This gel liner is very creamy, opaque and long-wearing. It gives you enough playtime to perfect your line and once it sets, you're good for the rest of day. . The brush it comes with isn't the greatest but it does work ok if you're in a pinch.

Whoever thought I'd find a good drugstore concealer? Not me. I've never had much luck with drugstore bases so I never thought of this until I tried it myself. It really is as good as everyone had said. It's creamy, pigmented and covers both dark circles and blemishes quite well. It doesn't emphasize dryness or cake up which is a good thing. It's not a perfect concealer by any means but it's still quite impressive.

I bought these the last time Priceline had a 40% sale. I was quite excited as I am a big fan of matte lipsticks. They're very nicely pigmented and are somewhat creamy however I did find that these emphasized dryness and dried out my lips as well. It wears quite well throughout the day but it flakes and crumbles as it does.

I'm not that big on using lip liners as I think it's a little time consuming but I do reach for them now and then when I'm in the mood. These lip liners are very creamy and pigments and glide on easily on the lips. They also seem to wear well (although I only have their nude colours) but can be a little drying as the day goes on so make sure to prep your lips well beforehand. They're definitely one of the best lip liners in the drugstore but their colour range needs a bit of an upgrade.

When I think of the Body Shop, the first thing that comes to mind is body butter, and for good reason. I think TBS makes some of the best body butters on the market. They're rich and creamy, really moisturizing and they all smell wonderful --- this one is my favourite scent!

This product brings memories of my childhood. I started using this back when I was in high school (that was way over 10years ago) as it was one of those products I could wear without looking like I had makeup on (we were not allowed to wear makeup in school). It gives your cheeks a very natural flush and your lips a "just bitten look". Granted this no longer gets as much love as it used to, I still reach for it on days I can't be bothered to put on a full face of makeup. Yes, there is a learning curve to using lip and cheek stains but the result is absolutely natural and beautiful. The only thing I don't like about it is that it stains my fingers too :/

There's no beating around the bush here --- this product is a gem. I don't remember why I decided to purchase it but boy am I glad I did. I have been using it since November and is my absolute favourite in removing my makeup. Why do I love this product so much? Let me count the ways :) 1. It's inexpensive. Need I say more? 2. It's effective. Waterproof eyeliner and mascara? No biggie. This product will take them ALL off. Poof! 3. It smells pleasant. It has a soft but lovely fragrance. 4. It's cost-effective. My very first bottle of it lasted me at least 6months. That means I'll only need to repurchase this product twice a year. Win! 5. It's practical. No need for cotton pads or wipes or whatnot. Use 1 or 2 pumps, massage into the skin and rinse. 6. It's nourishing. It leaves my skin feeling soft and supple after each use. 7. It's gentle. It doesn't sting or cloud my eyes. 8. It's packaged well. Pump? Check! Lock mechanism? Check! 9. It's easily accessible. 10. It's the Body Shop! So yes, I will never ever be without this product. Now if only TBS will come out with a travel sized version of this, I would be ecstatic!

I had high hopes for this product because everyone went on and on about it when it first launched. I like the idea of it but I'm not quite a fan of the texture as it is quite thick and "siliconey". I also dislike the jar packaging as it is very unhygienic. A squeeze tube would've been the better option in my opinion. This product does smooth out lines and pores however I don't ever use this all over my face --- just on my smile lines and occasionally on the sides of my nose --- so I can't comment on it aiding in the wear time of my foundation. Do I see a difference in how my foundation looks when I don't use this product? Not really, because while it does smooth out my smile lines, the effect doesn't last long enough to make me think it's worth the extra step. Do I think it's a good product? Eh... It's average at best.

If you have been blessed with great brows, this might be the only brow product you'll ever need. However, if your brows are thin and sparse and all over the place, this product isn't quite going to cut it. Unfortunately, my brows need quite a bit of shaping and filling in and this product is just an extra step to my routine. It's a great addition to anyone wanting absolutely perfect brows as it gives a bit of colour, texture and hold but use sparingly to avoid crunchy looking/feeling brows.
