    CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm

    It's ok, but I was expecting more..

    I'm been meaning to buy this lip balm for quite some time now. In pictures it looked like it gave out a nice hint of color while making lips look slightly glossy. I bought it on sale for $3.50 at Walgreens. I bought in Marble color because it looked dark, but not too dark. It was either this pretty pink/fruity color or a very pale rose petal color. And I wanted a "hint" of color and a bit of longer wear than just plain chapstick. Well, I don't see a single "hint" of color on my lips. They do feel moisturized and have that very subtle glow to them which is nice. But it lasts about as long as regular chapstick (an hour or so) and as I've mention, no color what's so ever. Kinda disappointed in that sense. It's ok, just not good enough for me. Definitely won't buy again.

  • Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets

    Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets

    A great idea for oily skins!

    I once saw these type of tissues on BubzBeauty and it caught my attention. When I was thinking of buying some, a client came over and she was buying exactly these same sheets. When I asked she said, I highly recommend it, don't buy the "generics" because they definitely don't do as good a job. And after actually getting some positive feedback, I bought them. Best investment I ever made! Now I never leave home without them. It's very compact, and the way you it kinda pulls out the sheet for you when you open the tab is a wonderful idea. It absorbs all that hideous excess oils from my skin in between the day. I don't even have to re-apply makeup afterwards because, as it says on the box, doesn't smudge your make up! Every time I'm through one of those tissues I'm surprised at how oily my skin in and amazed at how shine free it looks afterwards. I haven't tried other brands, but I definitely recommend this one! Best Clean & Clear product I've ever tried in my life!

  • Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar for Acne-Prone Skin

    My dermatologist recommended me using this bar for day time use only (AM) so i could just get rid of all the harsh medications I use at night and give my skin some time to breathe and not be so roughed up and in constant punishment. I was skeptical because it doesn't contain any active ingredients to help fight acne such as BPO or Salicylic Acid. But I believe it actually works really well. I just wash my face in the morning, it lathers very easily and you get used to the scent very quickly. My face feels free of all those medicated residues left on my skin from my night treatments. And afterwards I just apply some Moisturizing Lotion with SPF and it's great! This more gentle approach to my acne has worked well. I would definitely not recommend scrubs if you have cystic acne like I did, the rougher the cleanser, the more it irritates your skin and the more it will break out. Sometimes it's good to give your skin some fresh air and time to cool. Overall, I would recommend using it the same way my dermatologist did. Use all your acne products at night time and in the morning just use a gentle, medicine free regimen. Sometimes twice daily acne treatments can rough up your skin and make it red. Also, every other day I use oatmeal as an exfoliating scrub before washing my face with this bar (so that the bar gets rid of the residues left by the oatmeal on my skin). And even though I still have a little bit of acne left, my skin looks so much more healthy and glows more than it has in years. Buy it! And don't buy it thinking it'll clear your acne! It's not medicated!

  • Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips

    I had gotten a sample a couple of months ago when I bought some Clinique products. I was hesitant because I was/am using already Almay Eye Make Up Remover Pads and have worked wonderfully for me and also because how it looks like there are two separate liquids in the bottle (kinda like when you mix water and oil together). I decided to try it out cause I kinda blew my month's budget so I haven't been able to buy more of my Almay pads, and I was very suprised. It works insanely well at removing my eye makeup and mascara. I admit, like many others that I've read, it is a bit oily but than again it does say on the bottle that it's for removing make up from eyes and lips only, not for all over face removal. So for those of you who complained about not being good for facial makeup removal, just read the label next time. And unlike Almay, I never find residues of mascara the next morning. Truly amazing. I just use some toilet paper to dab just a tiny bit of this product on and just wipe away. I'm thinking of maybe buying some cotton pads to use better for that purpose, but until i finish this bottle to be 100% certain that it would irritate my sensitive eye lids in the long run, I'll stick to toilet paper and/or tissue. Definitely would recommend it! I only wish they made some that was a just a tad less oily... Just a tad!

  • Almay Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads
    9.0

    Almay Oil Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads

    One of my favorite Eye Make Up Removers!

    I was very hesitant at first about buying Almay products because their eye shadows don't provide the best coverage to me. But since i had developed dermatitis on my eye lids I needed to find hypoallergenic products to use in now those very sensitive areas. I have oily skin so I opted for oil free instead of hydrating pads. They work very wonderfully actually and it has a pleasant scent to it. It's a little more difficult to remover mascara, in the sense that, even when I think I've removed it all, when I shower, I still find residues. But other than that, it's very gentle to my eye lids and works pretty well. Best of all, it's not pricey and I just use a pad and drop it in the trash. I even bought some travel/sample sizes for when I travel. It's definitely a must for me!

  • Corioliss Ceramic Flat Iron - Classic

    I've been using this iron for about a year now. It was priced at around $90. I'd say it's better than the other two (cheap) flat irons I've own in my life. My hair does look shinier when i use it and it's very easy to manage and good for making waves too. I was really wanted one of their other fancier ones because it left my hair soooooo shiny, but I couldn't afford it. Still I like this iron, my hair looks great when i use it. Downsides, I don't know if it's cause I iron my hair with a fan blowing towards me (I don't have air conditioning and I live in a very warm climate, so i need to stay cool when i use these kinds of heating tools or else my own sweat will make the style go away very soon...) But it cools down a bit easily I think. Every time I look down on it the light that indicates it's hot flickers off and on (since I bought). And as is to be expected when you use heating tools, I've developed split ends which I dislike. Now I just use it once a week to make my hair really flat when i use my keratin mask and to tame my "baby" hair curls around my hair line and some unruly hairs on the back (very few). Overall, I'd recommend it (I know my brother takes it from me all the time D: ) Would like shinier results for the price.

  • Lancome Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow Smooth Hold

    Even though over time if I use this everyday on my bare skin i can become allergic to it. It is my absolute favorite eye shadow. Looks great for hours and adore the colors! I got it in samples from my aunt with four colors on it. And I've tried my hardest to stretch them out cause they cost $33. But I'm definitely not gonna change eye shadows. Perfect wear, perfect color. Phenomenal!

  • Aveeno Positively Nourishing Refreshing 24 Hour Body Moisturizer

    It's has such a subtle scent it's so great, and as it says.. Refreshing! Leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft I get compliments from my boyfriend ^.^. I'm definately gonna stay loyal to this line of Aveeno body lotions. I will just switch scents every time i run out. I've tried this one as well as the one that has vanilla in it! Mmmm... Love these lotions to death!

  • Aveeno Positively Nourishing Hydrating Body Wash

    I bought this bottle because I was getting too used to another Aveeno Body Wash's scent. And I loved the scent. It's great on my skin but long term... I don't like the scent. It's a bit too strong for me I guess. For an ocassional use it's okay, but not everyday for me. Definately switching back to the Anti-Stress Body Wash. But yes, it made my skin feel smoother, feel softer. And no allergic reactions to it so I'm definately happy!

  • Aveeno Stress Relief Body Wash

    My skin had been itchy for quite some time, and after it started to go away with another Aveeno body wash, I switched to this one for the scent. It really is soothing and still relieves my itchy skin! I only changed body washes (to another Aveeno) because i was getting too used to the scent. But I'm gonna switch back as soon as I finish this bottle!
