Clinique - Blended Face Powder




Hello! Hello!
Back at it with a review on the Clinique Blended Face Powder, described on the site as a

" signature blended powder. Loose, lightweight texture is right for every type of skin. Sets and perfects makeup, makes pores seem to disappear. Airy, skin-hugging formula delivers a reliably flawless finish. "
I bought #04 in Transparency, its a tan translucent powder. It does come in another colors. I was looking for a loose finishing powder.
Its light weight and provided a great matte finish. My make up did lock in longer with a great powder finish.
It can get a bit messy as well, which is expected with any loose powder and the brush that came with it is deemed useless like any other brush included product!

But sadly, I broke out to this product... not sure what ingredient made my break out :( but it did! Overall its a decent (MUFE HD is still the HG) matte finishing powder with a pretty good lasting power... a lot of product is included as well for the $27 CAD price tag. Too bad it broke me out!

The Body Shop - Aloe Calming Toner



Hi there blog buddies!

Back this time with my opinion on The Body Shop - Aloe Calming Toner! Sigh, I had high hopes for this toner but sadly it did break me out :(
I'd request a sample of this before purchasing!

Its around $12 CAD, but the body shop always has sales going on so you'll most likely pick it up for cheaper! It has a nice refreshing feel to it when applied and does get rid of any leftover makeup I may have not gotten off from my cleanser.

I would not repurchase this since it did make me break out.

Till next time :)

Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer



Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer by Aveeno.
Love this product, its thick and moisturizing with a pleasant scent yet not greasy!
Its pretty pricey though going at around  $22 CAD.
It also does what it says, my redness/blemish over time was lessened.
Didn't clog my pores at all nor break me out!
I love this product, def. will repurchase... if its on sale or at a decent price. The price tag on this is the only thing that makes me hesitant on buying it! Other than that I recommend this to anyone with dry skin!

Lush Mask : Oatifix

Hello Hello! This review is for Lush's Oatfix Mask!

"Use Oatifix to clean and soften dry and sensitive skin. Oats are calming, ground almonds give you an exfoliating scrub, bananas are softning and illipe butter reduces redness. "

- Lush



I have sensitive, and dry skin so I thought 'Hey, could this be my new HG mask?'
No. It wasn't. This mask has a thick consistency a faint oatmeal smell, it wasn't too overpowering. I didn't notice any almond bits inside. Honestly this didn't do anything!


It didn't help my complexion, my skin didn't feel moisturized or refreshed the mask actually left kind of a slimy residue behind that I had to scrub off. And the mask itself did not exfoliate my face at all..

The expiry date does not help this product either, it expires 1 week from the day I purchased and it was the longest one I could find in store. This cost me around $6-7 CAD.
I will not repurchase this, this was kind of ... useless.

Eyeko Fat Balm!


I've discovered Eyeko, (use ambassador code : E12638 for a free gift) a brand from London with cute packaging! AND FREE EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING if over 55. And let me tell you its not that difficult to get a cart full of that much! :)
I'll post a picture of my haul later, right now I want to show you the FAT BALM. I thought the name was weird but when i saw that it was a multiuse item I instantly wanted it.
I'm a sucker for items you can use in many ways, this one can be a lip product or a cheek blush. They have many different colors, I got mine in mint. Ive read reviews saying that it tasted like mint and the color was very universal! I dont really have a light pink blush or lip product so I decided to get it!

I've used it on my lips, I was excepting a minty taste since its called mint. But it tasted like spf-- which I hate! Its kind of hard to put on your lips since its pretty big. It has a really smooth consistency which is good but can be bad when you get a big goop of spf tasting stuff on your lip.
It applies very sheer on your cheeks but you can always build it up. I usually top it off with a powder blush. You can see it on my hand its at the top of it. The shimmery sheer part, its very hard to see. Sorry!
Overall hate the taste, not very pigmented, not long lasting. I don't think I'd buy any of the Fat Balms again.

Rimmel Sexy Curve

Rimmel Sexy Curve. One of their I would say more popular mascaras, due to the different brush shape. Its three small bumps which is somehow suppose to help curl your lashes.
I actually like this mascara, i don't find this it curls my lashes but then again I never really got the concept of a mascara curling a lash... but that's just me :P

Pros: I find it lengthens rather well, makes your lashes look long and purrrty naturally. The bristle on the mascaras are plastic which i am a fan of. It combs through your lashes so theres never any clumping atleast for me. And i find that you can actually feel it comb through you lashes. When you take out the brush from the base theres like a little suction cup thing and you can feel it taking out any excess mascara from the bristles. Oh and it does give me nice volume not as nice as my favorite mascara L'oreal Voluminous but it still a (Y) for me.

Cons: I find that the brush is rather small and because of the weird shape it takes longer to apply then a normal mascara. And thats all i can really think of ;P

I can see myself repurchasing this product, because it does hold the curl from my curler and it does give me a bit of volume and i find a bit of length. And the packaging is, you gotta admit a bit sexy ;)




Top Pictures are without mascara, bottom is with. And for my right eye my lashes are naturally screwed up like that :(

Well I'm off to finish watching We Are Marshall, its a tear jerking movie and so far its amazing. I love movies like that.
But anyhoo hope my first review helped. Peace out :)
