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!

Lush Haul!

Hey everyone!

While I was in Toronto I stopped by the Lush located in the Eaton Centre and got some goodies to take back with me.

 I didn’t just go into Lush once, I bought some stuff one day and went back the next day and picked up some more stuff. If you don’t know what Lush is, it is a fantastic store that has handmade bath bombs, facial masks, soaps, and so much more. If you have one near you and have never gone in I highly suggest you do because you will fall in love with it. 

Grease Lightning - $13.95

So in my first trip into Lush I picked up a bottle of Grease Lightning which is supposed to take care of spots and cleanse your skin. I have used this quite a lot recently and it seems like it is doing its job and is reducing the size of any spots that I may have. 

Mask of Magnaminty - $12.95

Also on my first trip I got the Mask of Magnaminty. This is used to deeply cleanse the skin and it with the minty scent it smells great while it does it's job. You only leave it on for a maximum of 10 minutes but in those 10 minutes you can feel it cleansing you skin which is something that I like in a cleansing face mask.

Herbalism - $13.95

On my second trip into Lush I picked up a few more products including Herbalism. This is another skin care product and when I have used this I use this just before the Mask of Magnaminty and end my pampering by using the Grease Lighting. This product you only have to use small amounts and it is only to be on you skin for between 1-2 minutes. This is a product that is geared towards oily and blemish-prone skin so if you have similar skin to mine you will love this product!

Sweetie Pie - $6.95

Now those that are recurring shoppers at Lush know that you can't leave the store without getting at least one thing for a bath, or shower.  This is their Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly and I have not used it yet but it smells fantastic so I will be using this on my next day off. 

Bubble Gum Lip Scrub - $9.95

This was also my first time getting one of their Lip Scrubs in the scent Bubble Gum. This is to use when you lips have gotten a bit dry and when you use this it will smooth out you skin, it is like using an exfoliator on you you face, but this is specifically to be used on you lips. It is made with castor sugar so you do not have to worry if any gets into you mouth, and it's pretty tasty! 

Fresh Farmacy - $15.12 (price depends on the weight of the bar)

Now this is something that I also have not used yet and I am waiting until my next day off to use this product as well. This is Lush's Fresh Farmacy bar and it is for people that have sensitive skin and also skin that is prone to breakouts. When I do use this I will definitely let you know how I like it. 

The Godmother - $6.80

I also got their Godmother Soap which I also have not gotten the chance to use yet but it smells fantastic. It has the scent of cotton candy so being able to smell like cotton candy is something that I am definitely looking forward to.

So yeah, that was my big Lush Haul. Any of the products on here that I haven't used yet I will be making an updated post later on and let you all know how I like the products after I get to use them. Let me know what your favourite product from Lush is or if you haven't gotten anything from Lush let me know if any of the products I got interested you! :)

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!

My Daily Skin Care Routine!

Hey everyone!

Today I thought I would talk about my daily skin care routine. I have a skin type that is generally oily so I tend to breakout more often than other skin types. Lately my skin has been pretty good but because my final exams are coming up, and yours might be as well, and that means that breakouts become more of a possibility due to stress.

So here is my routine:

Step 1:

When I wake up the first thing that I will do is go into the washroom and rinse my face with warm water to make my skin feel refreshed after sleeping.

Step 2:

I will than have a shower and wash my face with the Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser.

Step 3:

After my shower I will put on my Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer.

Step 4:

At the end of the day before I go to bed I will put on the Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment if there is any prominent spots.

Step 5:

Finally after putting on the spot treatment I will put on my acne control moisturizer just so my skin be treated overnight.

So yeah, that is my daily skin care routine. If you have any questions let me know and let me know what you do for you skin care routine because I love trying new products! 

Take care! xxx
