Hey everyone!
So I have realized that I haven't posted an ipsy review since August which I am extremely disappointed in myself about. I have been getting them each month so I have no excuse as to why I was posting them anymore. That however is changing now, and I will continue to post one each month since the ipsy seems to be a very popular post of mine.
For those that do not know what ipsy is, it is a monthly subscription where you can receive 5 make-up items. It is only about $15 including shipping and handling, well for me anyways. I live in Ontario so if you are in the U.S.A. I'm assuming it would be a bit of a lower price.
The First item out of the bag was A. H. A. 3% Facial Cleanser by Beauty Without Cruelty. This is a gel cleanser that begins to foam as you begin to massage it into your skin. I have used it and as I do have sensitive skin It wasn't exactly harsh it just seemed to dry my skin slightly so I personally would use this more than once a week. However it did seem to do exactly what it said it would, and I always love trying out new facial products.
The next item is NYX Cosmetics Butter lip Balm in Marshmallow, so their nude Butter Balm. I'm not going to lie, I was kind of disappointed that I received this shade I was hoping for Red Velvet or Lady Fingers. I do like this product but a nude colour doesn't really suit since I am pale, brighter colours are usually what I prefer.
The next product I pulled out I was super excited about! It is Pixi by Petra and it's their Fairy Dust in the shade Brightening Bare. I really like this and I tend to use more natural tones as eyeshadows so this was completely perfect. The way the product is designed though is slightly strange so to get the product out is kind of difficult.
I also received the Electroplated Eyelash Curler by Swissco. I was needing a new eyelash curler and it is an electric purple colour so this was perfect!
Finally, the best for last! A sample size of tarte's deluxe lights, camera, lashes 4-in-1 mascara! If you have had a tarte mascara before you know how wonderful and amazing they are. I was so happy to get this in this months bag and is such a great mascara and makes my small eyelashes quite a lot of volume.
This months bag was a fantastic early Christmas present (from myself) and ipsy never seems to disappoint. I hope you guys are ready for my video on Sunday I am filming it earlier tomorrow just so I know for sure that I have enough time to edit it and post it! As well on Friday I will be posting my weekly favourites video, as per usual ( or what was usual)!
Take care! xxx

LUSH Hair Saviours!
Hey everyone!
Now reading the title of this post you most likely think that I am exaggerating how well these products have worked for me. I am not. I have very difficult hair, it doesn't like to cooperate with me and has a mind of its own. I have a hair type, that is curly, thick, and frizzy, so it is a super difficult hair type to work with.
So, I went to LUSH looking to pick up a few face masks like I like when one of the lovely workers complimented me on my hair. I thanked her and jokingly said something along the lines of " Thank you, but it is difficult to manage," She asked me what I used for my hair and during this time I was experimenting with different products. She then asked if I had every used the R&B Hair Moisturizer. Well when I came up to the front with what I wanted to purchase she gave me a sample size of the R&B and I went of my merry way. Little did I know how great the product was going to be.
I ended up loving the R&B Hair Moisturizer sample that I got and once the sample size was gone I went back to LUSH to pick up a full pot size. While I got that I also got their Sea Spray which holds hair in place. I use both of these products daily, starting with putting the R&B moisturizer in my hair and once my hair is styled how I like it I use the Sea Spray to hold it all in place. I really like these products and if you have difficult hair like I do I highly recommend these products!
Take care! xxx

I have had little luck with hair products making my hair styled in a consistent way. I could be using the same product twice in a row and one day my hair will look really nice and the next day I would do my hair in the exact same way but it will look completely different, and in those cases I usually end up putting my hair up. However, I have recently found products that keep my hair from acting crazy.

Not the best picture of me but this is what my hair looks like with both the R&B and Sea Spray in. |

Clinque Clarifying Lotion Review!
Hey everyone!
I don't know about you but in my school recently there has been some kind of cold going around and it hit me about last Saturday. I have been super sick all week and I still have yet to get rid of the cold. I sincerely hope that you have not gotten this because it is the WORST! Anyways... that is enough of my little rant on my very annoying and persistent cold.
So as some of you may know, if you have been following my blog for the past couple of months I have developed a love for Clinique products. So before I just bought the Cleansing Foam form their Acne Solutions line but because i loved that so much I recently got their second step in that line and that is their Clarifying Lotion.
I have to say that I am so in love with this line of acne products. I am noticing a significant difference in my skin, I am getting less acne and even my skin tone is evening out and I couldn't be happier! The Clarifying Lotion is very gentle on the skin, you may feel a slight hot sensation but that is pretty normal for cleansers . When using it you shake it up because the lotion in the bottle will sink to the bottom after every use so make sure you shake it well, and when I use it I put about 2-3 dabs on a cotton pad and wipe my face, my chest, and my neck. After purchasing this I noticed just after a few days of using this a great difference in my skin.
Today, I will actually be adding to my collection of Clinique Acne Solutions products because I am going to be getting their step 3 All-Over Clearing Treatment. So I will soon be letting you know what that product is like!
Anyways, I hope you all have a great week and that you all stay healthy and do not get this cold that I have!

More Foreign Treats!
Hey everyone!
So I have some more foreign goodies that I would like to let you know about! Again I found these in my local Walmart so if you are wanting to get your hands on these products I'm sure that you will be able to find them.
Asia:
This is meiji's Hello Panda and not only is it really yummy it is super cute! Each little cookie has it's own cute panda design which does make it hard to eat because it is too cute but so worth it. On the outside is a cookie shell and the inside is filled with this great chocolate filling. Overall I will definitely be buying this again because it was just a great little treat to have!
Now when I got this I didn't know if I would like this or not because I'm not usually a fan of Pistachio's. However Britannia's Pistachio and Almond Cookies have changed my mind about pistachios. When I bought these I didn't realize that they had pistachio's in them, I was too distracted by my love of almonds to notice that it contained pistachios as well. All in all these were pretty good! They aren't at the top of my repurchase list but I won't rule them out.
Germany:
Now this was something that I also was not completely sure I would like because I am not a big fan of wafer cookies. These are Gut and Gunstig's Mignon Waffeln and I ended up really liking them! These were smaller wafers that were coated in chocolate so of course I would like them, how could I not? These have a nice hazelnut taste to them and you can use these as your moderation chocolate because they are pretty rich tasting so I am only able to have a few at a time.
Anyways, that is it for today! I'm sorry that this is late but I am just getting back into a school and woking schedule so balancing things is going to be a bit rocky this month, but I promise to do my best!
Take care! xxx

ipsy August 2014 Glam Bag Review!
Hey everyone!
I know what you're thinking, two ipsy reviews in one week!? What? I know it's crazy, right? Well not really since my July ipsy review was very late... my bad. Anyways, my ipsy bag was kind of a surprise for me this month since it arrived even before I got the tracking information. Usually the tracking info comes around the 7th of each month, but mine came on the 11 a day before I got the email that it had shipped, so it was a nice surprise that it came a bit early!
This months theme is Beauty Schooled and the products came in this cute white pencil case like bag, and it is decorated with orange poke-a-dots. I am super excited about this months bag because all of the products that I received are products I have wanted to try, but have not got too.
I received Dr. Brandt's Pore No More Pore Refiner, and I am very excited to see how this works. I have heard great things about this online and have wanted to get for a long time, but never actually got around to it. I was very happy to see that it was in my bag and I am hoping that all of the hype around this product is true
.
I also got a product by Urban Decay, which will always be one of my favourite brands. I got their Perversion Mascara and I haven't even tried it yet, but I already love it! Why? Because the name is amazing, and as the packaging says it's "so intense, you might need a safe word." I mean, how can it not be amazing!? Plus, I love the size of it because it's so easy to fit in any bag or clutch that you are traveling with!
A product by J. Cat Beauty was also featured in this months Glam Bag. I received their Flying Solo Eye Shadow in the shade Half Naked. Not only is it a beautiful shade, it comes in fantastic packaging. Now when a product is featured in beautiful packaging I love it even more. It's encased in a nice and simple compact case and in this small case there is not only an applicator, but a mirror as well! This will definitely be a product that I travel with.
As you may or may not know, I am the type of girl that never leaves the house without a lip balm so when I pulled Jersey Shore Sun's Mongongo Lip Conditioner. It smells amazing, and has made my lips feel smooth and hydrated so it definitely does its job! The only thing about this product is that it's supposed to be a anti-aging Lip Conditioner, so I don't really know how it does that. If you do know the answer please let me know!
Finally the product that I am most excited about! I got Klorane's Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk and I literally almost screamed from excitement when I saw that it was in my bag! Now you may think I'm crazy when I say this, but I have never used a dry shampoo. I know right!? That's why I'm excited! I don't usually suffer from oily hair even if I go a day or two without showering so that's why I've never tried dry shampoo, but now that I have it I will definitely use it!
This has been my favourite bag from ipsy so far! I received all great products from amazing brands that I love or have wanted to try. I already can't wait until Septembers bag to see what I'm getting next!

ipsy July 2014 Glam Bag Review
Hey everyone!
So I know this is very late but, I wanted to post it anyways. I've been all over the place with my entries lately and as of today posts will be back on schedule! As you know I had problems with my internet, computer, and the last two weeks the buses in my city have not been running. You might think that was super random to bring up, but no it was why I didn't post much in the last couple weeks. My work is about a 30 minute bus ride away from my house, which makes it about an hours walk away. Yes, a few days I had to walk to work and home from work so I've been completely wiped by the time I've finished work. So for the past two weeks all I've really done is sleep, work, eat, and repeat. BUT I'M BACK!!! :D
So July's ipsy bag was themed Sensationally Sunkissed! The hot pink make-up bag is absolutely fabulous, it's a great size and super cute! As always there were five items in the bag, and this month it all had to do with summer!
From bareMINERALS I got there READY Eyeshadow in the shade The Inspiration. I absolutely love the shade they chose to send me, although I haven't really messed around with it from what I can tell from a quick application, it will become one of my favourites. When applied it goes on real smoothly and doesn't have the chalky look that some eyeshadows have. I really like this product and I'm excited to experiment with it more.
This was probably my favourite product to get and it is by Clear Clinic Laboratories. It is their Vanished Clear Spot Treatment which you apply onto any blemish and it'll diminish the look of any spot in just a couple of hours! I usually like to use it before I go to bed, after I've done my night time skin routine. It is amazing and once I run out I will be repurchasing it!
I also got to try out a brand that I've been wanting to try out for a very long time, and that is Pixi Beauty! I got their Mini Tinted Brilliance Balm in the shade Unique Pink. It isn't very prominent shade, it is just enough colour to slightly change my lip colour. I really like just because my usual lip balm isn't tinted so this is just a nice product to have on hand.
I also got a product by Pur~lisse and it is their pur~product essential daily moisturizer in spf 30. Now this is a product that I wasn't really excited for just because I do have a lot of products like this but it's always good to try and weed out the ones you like best. I like this product quite a lot just because it is a light moisturizer and it has spf in it, which is always good for us pale individuals!
The product that I least liked was by Models own and it was their nail polish in the shade Red Sea. I am not a bug fan of nail polish with glitter in it, especially if it's bigger pieces of glitter. However I did try it out to see whether or not I would like it. It didn't dry properly and was kind of a tacky texture which was not good! I am a big fan of nail polishes but this is definitely one I will not be wearing again.
Anyways that is it for today! let me know what kind of pots you want to see from me, or products you want me to review!

Clinique Redness Solution Review!
Hey everyone!
So if you don't already know, I am a pretty pale person who sometimes (most days) have problems with my skin. I get acne like most people but because I am so pale I have a lot of redness on my skin that is very prominent. I've never really tried to find something that would make it go away but because it's summer and very hot outside, my redness is showing a lot more. So I found a product that I am very happy with!
So Clinique is becoming one of my favourite brands right now, I have one of their moisturizers and one of there cleansing foams, all of which I have been extremely happy with! I know it's more of an expensive brand and not everyone can afford it, but there stuff is really worth it, so if you can spare the money it is definitely worth it. So I though I would check out what Clinique had for redness of skin and I found exactly what I was looking for!
I bought Clinique's redness solution daily protective base with SPF 15. This was such a perfect buy because not only does it minimize redness it also is has sun protection. Now this doesn't completely mask the redness on its own, if you want it completely gone I would suggest using a cover-up, but there are days when I don't want to have a face full of make-up and I like to just use it on it's own.It's great because it does exactly what I want it to and is great for summer because it does have SPF in it. You only have to use a little bit so the bottle should last you quite awhile!
Anyways, that's it for now! Just to let you know my Twitter and Instagram unsernames are now in my blog description so feel free to follow, I may (will) follow back (if you leave a comment saying "blog more":) This is not to gain followers you can just leave that comment and I promise I will check your stuff out, I honestly just want to be able to chat with the people that are reading this :)

Rimmel London's Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm Review!
Hey everyone!
I have been trying to find new lip product to tryout and I found these! They are Rimmel London's Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm. I did hear good things about this product before I got them and I have to say, what I heard was right.
I got their product in the shades Give Me A Cuddle and The Redder, The Better. Both shades show up very well and they seem to last very well through the day. The only problem that I have is that the colour seems to kind of flake off but I think that might be caused by the fact that my lips are a bit dry. If I don't see a change in the next week or so the product will loose some points but over all I think it is still a really nice drugstore lip product.
They are twist pencils so there is a good amount of product in each tube so for about $4.99 each it's a fantastic amount and worth the buy. They have a great selection of colours in the line and i think I might pick up 1 or two more just so I can have some of my favourite shades.
Anyways, as always feel free to ask any questions and let me know what you think of this product!
Take care! xxx

Back to My Favourite Brand!
Hey everyone!
So a couple of months ago I changed my usual brand of mascara
which was Maybelline to CoverGirl. I tried the Flamed Out Water Resistant
Mascara by CoverGirl and as soon as I used it the first time I knew that I was
not going to like it clumped, didn’t cover all of my lashes correctly, and I
did not like the design of the brush. However, because I bought it I wasn’t
going to just throw it out so I stuck through it until about last week when I
decided to back to my go to mascara brand.
I got the Maybelline Volum’ Express, The Rocket, Washable
Mascara. This is absolutely amazing! I didn’t realize when I bought it that it
was the washable one so when I run out of this I will get it in the waterproof one
instead. I have smaller lashes and blond lashes so I usually go for black, of
brown with black, and one that should extend lashes. This makes my lashes look
so much longer and fuller and I have not and any issues with clumping. I absolutely
love this mascara and I will be using this for the foreseeable future.
If you are looking for a new mascara I highly recommend this
one! Let me know what mascaras you like and dislike so I can avoid or pick it
up in the future when I want to try a new one.
Take care! xxx

I Love My Kobo Mini
Hey everyone!
So for my entry today I wanted to talk about one of my
favourite electronic devices that I use both when I am at home, and while I
travel. I bought this near the end of last summer and it was an impulse buy but
it was one that I definitely did not regret. I bought the Kobo Mini in White and
it has 2GB of memory and 1GB of internal storage so it can easily hold up to
about 1,000 eBooks if the user wanted that many books on the device. It’s super
light, the battery can last up to a month ( I know that I’ve had a charge that
has lasted me over a month), can easily fit inside a purse or even a coat
pocket, and has a non-reflective screen so it can be easily used if you are
outdoors or traveling in some sort of vehicle.
Now I know some of you might say you don’t like or don’t believe
that books should be in electronic form and I was on the same boat as you just
last year, but I definitely see the appeal of an eReader. I still buy books in
their physical form but eBooks are cheaper and some are even free so being a
lover of books and being on a budget this is a practical way for me to be able
to read the books that I want to be reading. There is also the fact that it
weighs less than a pound and is small enough to fit inside a small purse is
great because you won’t have to struggle to fit your heavy and bulky book
inside of your bag.
What is also fantastic about the Kobo Mini is that you can
change the font of your books as well as the size of the text, so for those of
us who wear glasses and those of us who only like certain fonts it’s the
perfect product. It is also a very easy product to use so children can easily
work this as well as older generations who may have trouble seeing small text
and working electronic devices this is a great substitute for physical books.
All in all I absolutely love my Kobo Mini and would recommend it to anyone who
has contemplated on buying one.

This is my Kobo Mini - You can get them for about $50 in most large retail centers. |

P.s. Sorry for the bad quality photo I'm still moving everything around in my new house and I was unable to find my good cameras battery charger. :(

Physicians Formula Supper BB Cream Review
Hey Everyone!
I hope all of you had a fantastic Easter weekend (for those
who celebrate it), and that you got some wonderful goodies from the Easter Bunny.
I had a wonderful weekend with my family, my little sister got to do an egg
hunt and we took her to the park and enjoyed the nice warm weather that finally
decided to come to Canada. All in all it was a fantastic weekend of food and
family.
Anyways today I will be talking about the Super BB Cream
from Physicians Formula. So this is an all in one Beauty Balm (BB for those who
may not know what that stands for) Cream that I have heard is supposed to be absolutely
fantastic. I got this a couple weeks ago and it was a good price, about $20, which
is pretty good for this type of product.This is both a moisturizer and foundation but I do still put my Clean & Clear Morning Burst moisturizer on before I put the BB Cream on. I got this in the Light shade because
I have a very fair skin tone, and this product is actually slightly darker than
my skin tone but I don’t think it’s so dark that it looks ridiculous, I think
it makes my skin look a bit healthier.
The coverage of this product is fantastic so concealer is
not necessary which is nice, especially if you only have a few minutes to get
ready. It also makes a difference in the visibility of pores, by reducing them
quite a lot. I also found that I wasn't breaking out after using this product
which is a very big plus for me because I have sensitive skin so I tend to
breakout when applying make-up. All in all I really like this product and the
tube that it comes in is 1.2 Oz so it should last quite a while which is great!
If you have used this product let me know what you thought
of it! And if you have any suggestions of any other products I should use let
me know!

ipsy April 2014 Glam Bag Reviw
Hey everyone!
So I am very excited for my post today because this is the
start of my monthly review of each month’s ipsy glam bag. I am very excited to
be getting the ipsy glam bag each month because I have heard and seen such
great reviews of it, and when I saw that I was taken off the waiting list I was
very excited!
So this month’s theme is beauty rocks and I received Benefit’s
lollitint in the shade Candy-Orchid which is a lip and cheek stain. I do really
like the colour of this product but I did try it as the cheek stain and it didn’t
spread very easily so I doubt I will use it as the cheek stain but I will definitely
be using it as the lip stain.
There was another lip product in this month’s bag and it is
the Tinted Lip Balm by Cailyn in the shade 14-Acid Pink. Now I don’t usually
like bright colours because of my very pale skin tone but this is actually a
very nice colour and I can definitely see myself picking up this product when
my current one is gone.
In this bag there was also a travel sized eyeliner by Urban
Decay and it is the Black Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil from their 24/7 Velvet collection.
I really liked this product as it went on nicely and stayed all day without
seeming to rub off.
One of my favourite products of this bag is City Color’s
White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse. I love the colour of this product and
the fact that it is a Mousse. It’s very easy to apply and spread over the skin
so you can easily apply it in small amounts to get a slight shine or add more
to sparkle a bit more.
I also received Kiss lashes in their line Looks So Natural
Lashes and got their Sultry Lashes. Now I am not usually one to wear fake
eyelashes but I will give this product a chance and let everyone know how I
feel about them in a later post.
Swatches of each product:
![]() |
Black Velvet Eyeliner, Acid Pink Tinted Lip Balm, White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse and the Candy-Orchid lip and cheek stain. |
Out of my fist ipsy bag I would definitely rebuy 3 out of
the five products including the Tinted Lip Balm by Cailyn, Black Velvet
eyeliner by Urban Decay, and the White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse by
City Color. I really liked this glam bag and I can’t wait until next months!

Chella Eyeliner Pen Review
Hey everyone!
I know I didn’t post anything last week and I am very sorry
for that. I had all of my final exams last week so I spent my entire week
studying and did not have time to make entries to my blog like I wanted to.
Since I am now finished my first year of university I should have more free
time so I might be able to make more than 3 posts in a week.
Anyways, today I am reviewing Chella’s Eyeliner Pen in
Indigo Blue. This is almost like a liquid liner but the liner itself is
slightly different than usual liquid eyeliner. With regards to this product I really
like the simple packaging and that the text on the packaging is the colour of
the liner which is a nice feature. I also really like the colour of this product
because it just adds a nice pop of colour to any look that you are to make. Applying
this though is not as easy as most would think. I found this to be a slightly
difficult product to use because it did not apply very smoothly and when it did
eventually apply it didn’t evenly distribute the liner so I had to go over a
spot multiple times for it to be even. So that was disappointing.
When I was finally finished apply this liner I did like the
look of it but to get to the finished look it took more time than I thought it
should have. I wouldn’t suggest buying this product because it is about $25.00
but if you get this as a gift or something than I wouldn’t just write it off. I
will be playing around with this product a bit more to see if I can get a
better result than I did with my first time applying it, so I will keep you
updated.
The cute packaging! |

If you have any suggestions on which products I should
review next let me know! Or if you have any questions feel free to ask me
anything.

Palmer's Conditioning Spray Oil Review
Hey everyone!
So today I want to talk about a product that I bought
recently. It is Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula and it is the Conditioning Spray Oil. Now
I am someone that has coarse thick hair and it tends to get very tangled and
dry no matter what I do so I thought I would try this product out. If you are
someone that has thinner hair or if your hair tends to look oily at times I
wouldn’t suggest getting this product, but for those of us who don’t really get
oily hair or hair that is oily but doesn’t look like it, I think this is a
great product. It makes your hair feel very soft, make it shiny, made my hair
less frizzy (which makes it magical!), and it smells really nice!
You can use this right after you’ve washed your hair or if
you gone a day or two without washing it because it works just as great.
Depending on how thick your hair is I would only put in a bit unless you have
very thick hair like I do than you are free to use pretty much any amount
because it just disappears in to the mass of your hair. On the package it says
it is nice for putting over an already made braid because it will make it look
nice and shiny, I have not tried that yet but what I have done is put in my
hair when it up in a bun and it made my bun look very nice and shiny so I guess
it’s like the same thing (maybe?).
If you want me to show what my hair looks like with the Palmer’s
Conditioning Spray Oil let me know and I will do that! And if any of you have
used this product before let me know what you thought if it!

New Flavors
Hey everyone!
So I went home this weekend which was really nice since it’ll
be the last time I make it home before my finals are over. I got to spend time
with my mom, my siblings, and my kitties which I always miss when I’m away at
school. Anyway, while I was at home I was told by my mom that there was these
two new chocolate bars from Cadbury that were out that sounded absolutely delicious!
Cadbury has come out with a Caramel Popcorn and a Cookie Dough chocolate bar
which I think is absolutely genius of them. So we didn't know if they were
going to be sold in Canada because usually we don’t get the fun flavors or food
as much as the United States does, which sucks.
Anyhow we went out shopping on Saturday and when to Target
to pick up something’s and decided to check if they had the chocolate bars.
THEY DID! At first we only found the Caramel Popcorn bar in one of the side
stands but we went to their candy aisle and found the Cookie Dough one too!
We went home broke up the bars to share and delved into
Cadbury’s wonderful creations. Now both my mom and I thought that we would have
liked the Cookie Dough one better than the Caramel Popcorn, but we were definitely
mistaken. The Caramel Popcorn bar had fair sized bits of popcorn that went
really well with the Cadbury chocolate, it was amazing! The Cookie Dough bar
was also good but the chunks of cookie dough weren't big enough or their just
wasn't as much so It was mostly just the chocolate that you could taste, it was
very hard to tell that there was cookie dough in the bar. Over all I would have
to say they were both pretty good, but I would only buy the Caramel Popcorn bar
again.
This is what they look like if anyone wants to know what to look for. :)
If you've tried them let me know what you thought of them or
if you are thinking about trying them! I’m very excited to see what other kind
of crazy combinations Cadbury or other candy bar companies can come up with
next!

My Saviour!
Hey everyone!
I recently got a new product for my daily skin care routine
and I have to say it is absolutely amazing! It is a daily moisturizer and since
purchasing the product about two weeks ago it has worked wonders. Since I live
in Canada it is still winter here and over the past few months my skin has been
getting worse and worse. I was using a moisturizer but it contained acne
medication which was drying out my skin rather than moisturizing, which I was
in dire need of. So I set out to my local drug store and found what I was in
desperate need of.
The product is from Clean & Clear and it is their
morning burst hydrating gel moisturizer. It is an inexpensive product that has
really helped my skin over the past couple of weeks. It is an oil-free product
which is great for those of us who suffer from oily skin. It contains mango and
cucumber extracts which is great for your skin it is also very light on the
skin which I really like because the feeling of heavy products irritates me
quite a lot, and it also smells pretty good so that’s an added benefit. Now I
don’t only use it in the morning I also use it at night as well just because it
is such a good moisturizer and I've been very happy with the result.
The packaging of the morning burst moisturizer is typical
for any of the other Clean & Clear products. It overall fairly attractive packaging but
nothing too special, it is a turquoise tube which I like for skin care products
because it makes it easier to minimize any possible waste of the product. It is
about $6.99 so a very good price for a good moisturizing product and it is 85 mL
so it should last quite a while. This product can be found at your local drug
store, Target, grocery store, and Walmart if any of you are interested in purchasing
the moisturizer.
I hope this little review can help some of you out there if
you are debating on getting this moisturizer, it’s helped me so I’m sure it
would help someone else. If anyone has used this product before I would love to know what you thought about it!
This is the product if anyone was wanting to see what it looked like.
Take care! xxx
