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.

The Body Shop - Golden Pink


The Body Shop Cheek Color In Golden Pink. I love this color, its a deep pink with subtle golden shimmer. It goes on sheer but you can definitely build up the color.
I love wearing this on top of creme brushes, it doesn't change the color but adds a subtle shimmer to it. But I do like wearing it by itself. Its $15.50 CAD, and I will definitely repurchase this when I run out. I love how sheer it is, i love how subtle the gold is. Its
one of those colors that can look good on any skin tone!

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.

LUSH: Fresh Farmacy



Theres alot of rave on Lush's products, on how their organic, or vegan, all natural, not chemicals, good for your skin. So when there was a "_" day, where they give you a free goodie bag and if you spend x amount of money you get a free item, i went shopping. I got a whole bunch of goodies which i will review later but i got Fresh Farmacy, the lush person said that this is a really gentle cleanser and is good for sensitive skin annnnnnnddddd is suppose to calm redness is skin which was the main reason I bought it. The piece I bought was around $ 7 CAD and it was pretty huge, i cut off a small chunk for my first time used and barely dented it.

My review on this is that it is not worth it. It is a gentle cleanser and a little goes along way but it dries the hell out of my face. No moisturizer, aveeno to clinique, could get rid of the dry patches on my face. It wasn't dry 5 minutes before i washed my face but right after BAM. It has a nice smell, nice texture and got rid of all my make up but it just was too drying. The dryness led to its downfall. Repurchase? No way, i even returned this product. The girl said that maybe Aqua Marina would be better for me but i have my doubts.

Clinique Deep Comfort Moisturizer


Clinique is known for its hypoallergenic items, or at least for me. I have eczema, not too bad since i'm growing out of it but it's still not good. So I have naturally pretty dry skin, easily irradiated and rashy :(
I gotta admit the name got to me, Deep Comfort, oh how i wish i had that.
But the name and product are lies, all lies! :(
Cost : $ 26 CAD
I find that pretty splurgy for a moisturizer! To me it felt like any other moisturizer you can buy in the drugstore for less than half that price but i thought it'd do a great job and I was mistaken.
And the smell was pretty gross at first, it smelt like industrial glue and took a while to get use to.
Not much else to it, not worth the price, not worth the scent, not much moisturizing going on with this product. Repurchase : Never.
I heard the body butter is way better ... but people said this was too.

Too Faced Lash Injection.



Too Faced Lash Injection is suppose to give you a boost of volume and length.

Cost: Around $20 CAD

I like this mascara, correction liked this mascara. It did what it said gave me length and nice volume.

Pros: It has a huge tree brush the size of my eye which makes it pretty fast for application.
Does what its suppose to do. nice packing.

Cons: DRIES UP FAST; after a few uses the formula was dry and then after i applied it, it becomes flakey. Takes way to long to dry, the formula is really wet.

Overall its not worth 20 bucks, 10 maybe. It dried up pretty fast which is a waste of that 20 dollars, maybe i didn't close the lid tightly but i've heard this happen to others as well...

L'oreal Double Extension Mascara

Hey Gangstas',

New review up: L'oreal Double Extension. The mascara that doesn't smudge, lengthens and is pretty much water proof. Its a beauty tube which may be a new trend for mascaras? I like this mascara a lot because i can rely it on it during the day to not smudge and I won't have those eyeliner/mascara smudge of black under my eye. Its keeps my curl all day, i dont think it lengthens alot of but enough to be still called a lengthening mascara

Pros: Beauty tube = easy removal. All you need is warm water and a few wipes/scrubs all the masara comes right off... in tubes. At first i was kinda like ohmygod are those my lashes? But i realized it wasn't so it's all good. Holds my curl. Decent Length.

Cons: The primer, i'm not sure if thats what keeps it from smudging or what it actually does. But i think i tried it without it once and my mascara didn't smudge and still came off right. It doesn't make much of a difference if I use it or not but I do anyways just in case I don't notice if it does anything. Damn, i just thought i could take a photo with primer and without but oh well maybe next time ;l This mascara if you don't close it tightly can dry up really fast and easily. And sometimes when i ever close it tightley the formula itself dries up a bit so you kinda have to remove some clumps before applying the mascara.
Not really part of the mascara but I hate the ads for this mascara the girl (blonde bob) looks scary, her lashes are obviously photoshopped and it's just unnatural.

This mascara is around i think $10-12 CAD its avaiable at walmart, superstore anywhere pretty much. I would purchase it again for its easy removal and how i can count on it to not smudge and give a decent finish.

xxx ;)

**Sorry no bare lashes this time :(

Mascara on my eyes. ^^
