Dry Flaky Lips No More



Winter brings dry skin and dry lips for most of us, but with this LUSH little jar of sweetness, no more dry flaky lips at least :)

It is the LUSH lip scrub, I bought it in the bubble gum flavour, also available in other flavours like sweet lips, mint Julip etc. Use the following link to see it on the LUSH.CA site.

http://www.lush.ca/shop/catzoom/index.html?cat=Lip%20Balms%20and%20Scrubs&sort_field=&sexpand=&itemcount=500

I love this little thing, to use this you just rubs it on your lips for a few seconds and the best part is - YOU CAN LICK IT OFF afterwards, it is completely edible. You can use this scrub anytime anywhere! It leaves you with lovely bubble gum scented soft lips, ready for lipstick, lip balm or just soft bare lips.

Precision Pore Cleansing Pad



So I went to the Sephora for the 20% OFF Sale and stocked up on some products I always use. I also picked up some new products to try while I was there. This little pink thing is a great little tool. I tried it a few times and love it. Thought I share it with you.

It is the Precision Pore Cleansing Pad

What it is:

A flexible silicone pad that gently massages the face and helps deliver deeply clean, radiant results.

What it does:

This tool uses tiny bristles to invigorate the skin and effectively clean pores, helping to exfoliate and soften the skin.

This was $7 at Sephora.

Loreal Studio Secrets MAGIC PERFECTING BASE review

Tried this product for a bit now. Over all it is a pretty good primer and does what it claims.

It is different from the famous Smashbox photofinish primer, it is more of a cream texture, and needs longer blending time. The Smashbox photofinish primer is more of a silicon gel base. The formula of this primer is rather similar to Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch.

It is a great product to use around the eyes to fill in fine lines prior to makeup application, this products fills in fine lines better than most of the other primers I've tried in the past. I think this would be great product for mature skin and would give the skin a very velvety finish.

Here's picture of my skin before:




Here's a picture of my skin after in the same lighting:



As you can see from the before and after pics, the product evened out the skin in a very subtle way. On my good skin days, I just use this product and apply concealer where I need to and its good enough.

Review: L'Oreal HIP Color Chrome Eyeliner

Quick review for you. These L'oreal HIP colour chrome Eyeliners are wonderful. They are cheaper drugstore versions of the Urban Decay 24/7 Glideon liners, but they are just as good.

They are long lasting, easy to apply, and smudge proof once set with shadow. You should always set your cream/wax based products with a dry powder products for long lasting effect.

The HIP liner is a little more creamier in texture than the Urban Decay liner. Unlike the Urban Decay, it's only available in 4 colours at Shoppers Drug Mart, while Urban Decay Liners comes 23 shades. However, most of us wants and only use the basic black or brown liner anyways.

Great product to save you a few bucks.
