This mascara is my ride or die! It’s by Tarte, and I have been using it for about four years. I have received so many compliments on my lashes over the years, and I owe it all to this mascara. I love the brush, and the formula is easy to apply and build up the volume. Where most mascaras go clumpy and make your lashes stick together this one doesn’t. It can be built up to give you a dramatic look, or you can tone it down with fewer coats. I have also put it to the test as I wear it during basketball practices and games where I sweat a lot, and it has never run or smudged. 

My mom bought me this for valentines day and I’m already obsessed. Over Christmas I really wanted to get the Dior lip gloss that everyone loves, but it was sold out everywhere I looked. This dupe is not only half the price, but it is also the same as the Dior one in all the ways that matter. The applicator and lip gloss formula are quite literally the same. The NYX lip gloss also smells just like a watermelon candy, which I think is amazing.

If you haven’t bought it yet, you better run to your nearest Sephora and purchase the Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk lip liner and lipstick. I’m telling you this is the most beautiful colour for the lips. It also goes on nicely, and the lipliner stays on very well. 

For valentines day I was given the Lush valentines gift box, Box of Love. I’ve only ever tried a handful of products from Lush before, one being the famous Mask of Magnaminty and their Super Milk leave-in hair conditioner. I’ve really liked the Lush products I have used, so I’m excited to try out all the new products. 

Sex Bomb

For someone who doesn’t usually take baths this bath bomb has me seriously reevaluating my selfcare routine. I loved the soft pink colour that filled the tub, and the petals that appeared after the bath bomb dissolved in the water was a nice little touch that added to the relaxing experience and the love theme of the box. 

True Romance

I’ve never tried this type of product before, but I was quite impressed with it and how well it worked. Using the bar to message your body felt amazing, and afterwards my skin and muscles were thanking me. The bar left my skin deeply moisturized, and smelling so good. I highly recommend getting yourself a message bar, so you can rub away all the stresses of the day.
