St. Ives : Oatmeal and Shea Butter body lotion

Hey there!
Bought this a few weeks ago the St. Ives : Oatmeal and Shea Butter body lotion! Was on sale for around $4 at shoppers. You'll be able to find this around for a decent affordable value.
I love st Ives products, esp their infamous apricot face scrub, which I always have on hand! Thought I might as well try their body lotion that says it is naturally soothing and relieveing!
Sadly, I didn't fall in love with this product as much as I fell for the apricot face scrub.
It's not greasy but it is not moisturizing. It sinks into the skin easily, but disappears easily. Has the pleasent oatmeal scent, not irritating at all.
But the biggest problem a body lotion that isn't moisturizing in the tiny bit.
Lot of product for the bang, but I will not repurchase and will stick to the face scrubs!

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 :)

Laneige - Water Sleeping Pack_Ex

Ello, Ello!
I bought this 'Water Sleeping Pack_ex' by Laneige when I was in Korea a year ago. Finally finished it up :)
I bought this for around $20 CAD when I was in Seoul, South Korea.
I've read rave reviews on this product before. Personally I did not see a difference in my skin while using this product. I had high hopes this would be a great serum but it didnt really moisturize my skin.
It sinks into the skin easily, not greasy and has a pretty not irritating scent. I have pretty sensitive skin but this worked out fine.
I find that most Laneige products have a great mild scent to them.
Personally I would not purchase this product again since It Didnt really Make a difference to my skin.

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!

Body Shop - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion

Been using this for a few weeks now as a daily moisturizer($13 CAD for 1.69 fl. oz)... Very light and moisturizing!
Has a slight hint of Tea Tree oil which I do like! It hasn't helped my redness at all,  in the ingredients the percentage of actual tea tree oil is pretty low which is why I don't think this helped my blemishes.

Love the tingly refreshing feeling you get when you put it on! It dries matte, it doesn't go on greasy and is very lightweight! 

Its a great moisturizer but it doesn't do what its "suppose" to which is clear my blemishes...
Wouldn't repurchase just because of the high price and lack of performance.
If you're looking for something to clear your blemishes - i'd skip this product.
** I do love the face mask - will do a review soon!

Clinique Lash Building Primer

This is a review for Clinique's Lash Building Primer! I got this a few months ago and finally figured I used it enough to give an honest opinion. First off I LOVE the packaging. Its so sleek and different, not like all the other mascara primers out there. The packing is thinner so there is less product... 4.8 g vs Mac Prep and Prime - 10 g. It has the regular mascara wand, white product...

Without mascara!Scary right?

My left eye, with NO primer! And I'm using L'oreal's Extra Volume Collagen Mascara!
There is no big difference to the eye with or without primer. But by the end of the day, the non primed eye had mascara smudges @ the bottom of my eye while the primed eye stayed exactly the same was in the morning!
Sooooo the primer helps keep the mascara on, prevents smudging and holds the curl! I like the product and I like the packaging but not so much the amount of product given. It does its job!
