Beauty Product Reviews

Always Breaks!

The bottle always breaks so I can't even get my money's worth. I've tried buying it 3 times and I have up on it. The few times I did use it, it didn't seem to do much. It has a very chemically smell that isn't very refreshing.

Seche Vite Alternative

Its too much of a pain to order a topcoat off the internet. Canada sucks (a little) and you can't find lots of great stuff that you can find in other places. However, Essie Good to Go is awesome! I probably will never buy Seche Vite unless someone decides to sell it in a store here, so Essie it is for me. I can't compare the two obviously, but I imagine this is just as good, perhaps even better. It doesn't dry out and become all goopy like people say Seche Vite does. Your nails are totally dry in 5 minutes.

My Favourite

I have way too many of these. They dry perfect and they dry fast. I experience way less problems when I paint my nails with these polishes. They don't chip badly at all. They have no bubbles. There are lots of cool colours (although most of them are creme finish). The only problem I have experienced is that they separate and are hard to shake back up. Any nail polish will do this though, and its a very minor problem.

Sensitive Skin Saviour

This doesn't smell like anything special, but if you have really dry skin and eczema like me, it is soothing and nourishing. It is just what I need in the winter and I have used it since I was a child to help soothe my eczema in between medicated creams.

You Need the Inglot Duraline

This eyeliner is great. It lasts all day an night and is super black. However, it is super super fast-drying and thick so its very hard to work with. If you have the Duraline, mix a bit with your liner on the back of your hand and all the problems will disappear.

Great in the Summer.

This product really does make a difference. My skin is very dry, and living in Alberta the winters make it look like a desert is on my face. I got this lotion at the end of the summer last year, and immediately saw a difference. It is very moisturizing and smoothing. However, I had to switch to something more moisturizing since it wasn't quite enough for the harsh Canadian winter. It is great to use it to supplement your moisturizer in the winter if you have super dry skin like me.

I Wish They Were in Western Canada!

Damn Canada. We get nothing, and are over charged for the things we do get. If you order by email or phone from Montreal, you're charged about 20% more than people in the US. Luckily, my mom went to Chicago and picked me up some when she was down there. Instead of paying 89 bucks for a 10 palette, it cost her 75. However, they are AMAZING eyeshadows. Like everyone says, the matte shades are unlike any other. The shimmery shades that I got are great too. The packaging is ingenious. The freedom system is just the best. No complaints with the product itself.

Unlike Any Eyeshadow I've Used Before

These are truly unique eyeshadows. There may be other bright colours out there, but not usually quite like this. These are literally neon. They are not patchy at all and are super easy to work with.

Amazing!

It is magical. It got the waxy feeling out of my lip brush that hasn't come out since I first used it, no matter what I tried. It smells amazing too. It conditions your brushes noticeably. You hardly need any compared to other cleaners and it does a better job with less and it should last you a long time (unless you are an idiot like my sister and needlessly soak your face brushes in it).

Natural Eye Brightener

Its great for what it is, but it is not magic. It doesn't last all day on your eyes, especially on me (I have watery-eye syndrome). However, it's the best you could expect: it is smooth and creamy and applies amazingly, it is opaque, and it is a flattering colour for pretty much anyone who wants something not so stark as white.
