JustFab Review

Hey Guys,

I had seen a lot of ads running on tv about justfab.ca, i was always curious about their company and always wanted to make a purchase. I had seen a lot of mixed reviews online and decided to try it out myself .

How it works
When you sign up with your email address you do an online style quiz. They show you pairs of shoes and outfits, you then choose which one appeals to you. They also ask you questions about what outfits you would choose on a weekend, night out etc. They have different style profiles and will choose one that best suits you. On the 1st of every month they give you shoes, outfits and accessories based on your style profile. The average price is $39.95 but some pieces run higher. If you dont want to purchase an item you simply'skip the month', which i have done a few times.

My review
I have only purchased boots from there, both for specific occasions. I must say they were comfortable and stylish. They did run small when i wore socks (necessary in the cold canadian weather) so i suggest ordering half a size/size up if socks are a must. I wore my one pair a few times since i was able to dress it up or down and they are still in amazing shape and condition. Because they are coming from the states i did have to pay the exchange rate which i didnt care for but my order has always come within 2 business days.

The only downside is that they dont restock their items. If you dont purchase your size in time, there is no chance you will receive it.
They do charge you a fee for returning an item, and then credit your account.
There are different levels of VIP depending on the amount of money you spend. 1 point for every dollar you spend before taxes. There are different point levels which gets you exclusive sales and offers from justfab. The more you purchase the more benefits you receive.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation

Hey Guys!

So my birthday is coming up at the end of September, and for the first time in awhile, I have the opportunity to spoil myself a little. I have heard a lot about Estee Lauder's double wear foundation, and have been curious to try it. I will admit, the price point made me think twice, to be honest I spent 45 minutes debating whether or not to put the order in. Part of why I wanted to purchase this foundation is because I wanted a foundation that was a better coverage then my clinique foundation for those special occasions.

My Review
I absolutely love this foundation, to the point where I have said good bye to my clinique foundation. I purchased the shade 'wheat' and it matches me perfectly. I purchased this product through the Sephora website, and I matched my shade through an online foundation finder. The second I put this on my skin, it blended flawlessly, and a little bit truly goes a long way. Every single time I put an amount on the back of my hand, I put about 50% back ( and I don't pour to much out). I have applied this with a primer, and I set it with a setting spray. It does stay on for 15 hours, but I do notice that my nose and forehead does get a little oily, (8 hours after application) so I would need to do a minor touchup in those areas during the day. For the most part, it did stay flawless on my face. The one thing I do love, it doesn't oxidize, it is true, the color you get on your face, is the color that will stay. I had a few people tell me, that my face looked amazing with this foundation, and I have gotten a consistent look with this product. It blends seamlessly with your skin, and you can't even feel it on your face. The price point is high, but after using it, I can see what it is so pricey, and didn't think twice about it. Also, this foundation is going to last me forever, which is a pro seeing how high the price is. This is has now become my day to day foundation and I have now said goodbye to clinique.

Gain Fireworks Review

 Hey guys!

The past few days I have been sick so excuse the late post. This is going to be about gain fireworks. A few companies have come out with their version of this. I never bothered with any of these, but the past few months we have been trying to stretch our dollar.

My boyfriend loves gain, he loves the scent it leaves on his clothes and has Gain everything, detergent, fabric softener and sheets. We switched to Gain detergent pods, but those got quite pricey. In efforts to cut back awhile ago, he compromised on trying Gain fireworks. If he loved it, we would keep it, if he didn't, it was back to Gain everything.

I'm not picky about detergent , ive never had an issue with stains being left behind, or feeling as though my clothes aren't clean, so I'm easy. We bought perisil detergent because it was on sale, and got Gain Fireworks.

At the beginning my boyfriend dumped a bunch in, looking back, it was to much. But I will admit it's amazing. If you love the scent of certain detergents, but for whatever reason are turning elsewhere these are a great option. They claim to leave your laundry smelling great for a month, I don't know about that, but I will admit after a week or two my clothes did smell great.

We get the amazing Gain scent without having to use to the detergent. My son has sensitive skin, so this has been a great alternative. You are suppose to throw the beads directly into the drum of your washer, and they gradually dissolve as the load gets washed. We have used it on everything, clothes, sheets, bedding and towels. The scent has been amazing on everything. My boyfriend was using cupfulls at a time which he said was to kick so we have been trying to see what amount works for us. There is no maximum or minimum to use which is great, it's to your own preference.

Vaseline Lip care (lip balm)

Hey Guys!

Ever since I was a teenager, if I didn't apply a lip product before I went to bed, I would wake up the next morning with chapped, cracked, bleeding lips. Ever since I have been on the hunt for an amazing lip product. About 4 years ago I started using Burts Bee's, and I will admit I fell in love. It was so moisturizing, I didn't think I would ever change my lip product..until 6 months ago.
I got a sample from samplesource for Vaseline Lip care, I admit at first I was hesitant. I didn't think it would meet my needs, or even moisturize the way a lip product should. The lip care has the benefits of vaseline and a lip balm in one. It was moisturizing and really went deep into your lips. Hours after the product is gone, you still feel moisturized. It lasts a long time so there is no need to reapply for hours. Even when the product is gone, it has gone so deep in your lips, you feel moisturized and protected. I got this in the winter time, and  during the cold months this was a life saver. My lips are extra dry, and when I say a little bit goes a long way, I am not kidding. It took me awhile to find the prefect amount to apply on my lips and I haven't even made a dent in it. I would apply this before going outside, and when I got home, it was still there. It looks natural on the lips, there is no gloss to it.
I got the original, so my was scent free, I didn't have any reaction to it. I would recommend this product to anyone who has chapped lips, or has problems during the summer/winter months and need that extra protection. Growing up I would use Vaseline on my lips, and as an adult, I love this modern revamped version. It has the benefits of a balm (moisturizing, heals lips, protects etc) with the old school feel of Vaseline.

Simple Face Wipes

Hey Guys!

About a month ago my mom gave me a sample pack of simple face wipes. I had heard about this brand awhile ago, and always wanted to try it. I had tried some face wipes in the past and never fell in love with them. They always irritated my skin, I didn't like the smell and I just didn't feel the need to purchase them long term. In all honesty, I had always heard that baby wipes do the trick. After I had my son, I admit, I would steal his unused baby wipes and take off my makeup with that. I will admit, the simple face cleanser wipes, changed my life!

The wipes are thin, which threw me off in the beginning, because I didn't think they would hold up. Boy, was I wrong! They did amazing, it took off my makeup in minutes, and it got everything off the first time. I usually have to focus around my eyes once I get into the shower, to ensure I get all my eye makeup off, but this did the trick. My skin didn't feel dry afterwards, and I didn't find that it had a scent. It added moisture to my skin which is an added bonus. I do tend to wear a lot of eye makeup, and  this got everything off. I don't wear makeup daily, now that I am a mom, so on the odd time that I do, I always remove my makeup then jump into the shower. I found with these wipes, I could've wiped it off, and just relaxed and showered later. I don't feel the need to use a eye makeup remover and then go in with this product, which is something I love. I don't care for the greasy feeling I get when using an eye remover, which is one less product/step to do.

A pack of 25 goes for $8.27 which is about average.

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Hair Mask

Hey Guys,

with summer just around the corner I need to revisit my hair care routine. I discovered this hair mask  about 3 years ago when I was pregnant with Kayden. I have thick hair to begin with, but add in a pregnancy and my hair was out of control. My hair gets frizzy and damages a lot easier during the summer months. I had heard great things about this product and decided to try it out for myself:




It's Claims
 works in 2 ways to build stronger and healthier hair
Protects from future damage
90% hair strenght reconstructed from root to tip
2x damage resistence

My Review
I love this product. Let's start off with the fact that this product is so reasonably priced. You can get it for around $6, depending where you go, and it lasts a long time. It took me way into the fall months. I used this once a week, and I could have used it more often if I needed to. My hair felt so soft and silky, and it smelled amazing! You noticed results after one use, and it was something I looked forward to using every week. I would apply this towards the end of my shower, and leave it in for a few minutes. I would tie my hair up in a messy bun after apply it, and finish up my shower. As I was rinsing it out, I could tell it worked. Whenever I used this product I didn't feel the need for a serum as it took the frizz way down. I don't normally blow dry my hair, so even after air drying my hair looked amazing. My boyfriend noticed how much smoother my hair looked, and as usual that confirmed my beliefs that this hair mask was AMAZING!

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser

Hey Guys,

I recently got a sample for Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser from sample source, and fell in love with it, so I decided to write all about it.

Sample source is a company where every season you get to request samples, they send you some trial size and full size along with some coupons. All they require is that you write a review the products with your honest opinion and thoughts. One of the items was the cleanser.

In the Spring/Summer months my skin turns oily. Anything I can use to keep the oil down, and make my skin feel fresh I am all about it. I got a sample size for 30 ml.

This cleanser claims to:
Remove 2x the dirt and impurities then a regular cleanser
results after one use
Oil Free
Gentle enough to use everyday
Great for oily skin

Results 
 My skin isn't extremely oily, so for me it did the job. It comes out black and foams up. One you apply it to your skin there's a cool refreshing minty feeling. You can feel the product working, and you honestly feel refreshed and feel as thought your skin was deep cleaned. My boyfriend noticed results as well, and said it is worth the buy because he noticed a difference. If I take a shower, I don't feel clean unless I wash my face, and this sealed the deal. My skin felt less oily, and my makeup applied a lot better as well. I didn't break out and was gentle on my skin. I don't have large pores, but I do notice that during my time of the month I didn't break out. Once I did run out of the cleanser however I did notice a breakout. That just shows how great this product works and deep it cleans. I have noticed a little bit of drying near my mouth int he morning lately, but other then that I am so happy with this product.

They have a whole line of products, including a face mask and pore strips.
I bought the product at the store the other day and it was $7.47 at Walmart. I would definitely recommend this product to all of you!!
