<b>Rating: </b><span style="color: #666666;"> 8 out of 10 </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Color:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">PK105</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Me: </b><span style="color: #666666;">I love multi-tasking products! I really like the moisturizing aspect of this and the wash of color it gives. Its perfect to carry it around and just apply on because it's moisturizing, yet it still gives you a pretty wash of color! I personally love this because of the color, its a great pink and makes my lips look very plump!</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Repurchase: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Yes, in a different color! (I think the red would be very pretty!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Just put this on top of
your bare lips for a slight pink milky color! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">$8; not too bad, but more on the pricey side just for like a tinted lip balm. However, it does last quite a while, so that's good!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">This definitely has the concept of a colored lip butter. Its texture is like a lip balm, but it also does give a decent about of color! It's quite moisturizing actually, but it doesn't leave your lips super nourished and hydrated. The color is very nice because it's a slight tint, yet buildable, and it jazzes up your lip color just slightly. **The only downside to this particular color is that it shows the lines and how chapped your lips are! It's probably because it's a 'milky' color... :(</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell: </b><span style="color: #666666;">I quite like the smell! It has this kinda sweet-floral-fruity smell to it, and I really really like the smell! You can't smell it once you put it on though!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #666666;">This is quite moisturizing, it's almost like a lip balm, however its not super balmy or anything. Although it stays on your lips, and keeps them hydrated, once it wears off, your lips don't stay very moisturized like a lip balm would do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">The packaging is quite nice! Small, easy to carry around. The packaging is simple, yet very cute. Cute and practical.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">I couldn't find a link to where you could purchase this online, but I bought mine at the actual Face Shop store, so maybe check yours if you have one around you! :)</span></div>Light Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15612439658938933341noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410416917772355957.post-42273401963880010212012-07-04T08:41:00.001-07:002012-07-05T10:37:05.551-07:00Winner!<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you everyone who joined my giveaway! Woo, that was not as easy as I thought! Using random.org, I put all the entries in and it came up with the number 8. My computer had a glitch, and it deleted my original giveaway post, but thank goodness there was still a cache copy on google: <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:W8PapYUgDygJ:withoutwordsforyou.blogspot.com/2012/06/2-year-anniversary-giveaway.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us">http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:W8PapYUgDygJ:withoutwordsforyou.blogspot.com/2012/06/2-year-anniversary-giveaway.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello everyone! Woo, I'm on a roll with blogging now! Hopefully I can get a lot more done during the summer since there won't be school and such. Summer here is so hot, and all year round, it's pretty dry. I have combination skin, and it gets pretty dry in the winter, and this was definitely a life saver for me last winter. And for those around the other side of the globe, winter is approaching, so you might want to check this out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Face Shop has really opened up globally and I see it's stores all across America now, so that's a plus because you can easily get it around you now possibly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rating:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">8.5 out of 10</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Skin type:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Any; not extremely oily skin, great for dry skin and normal skin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Me:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">I have combination skin that gets dry in the winter, so I need something that will moisturize without making me oily. Even in the summer when my skin has one of those 'dry' days, this feels extremely nice after popping it in the fridge... sooo refreshing. And I love how this is a very natural product, so you know your skin is getting good stuff.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Repurchase: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Yes! I would definitely repurchase this when I run out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">After washing your face,
applying toner, and apply this on. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! ***I would recommend this as a night moisturizer, but if you have dry skin, daytime would be fine too!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">I don't remember the price, sorry! But I believed it was around $20-30 or so, maybe more on the pricey side of things I think... But if you think about it, you really only use a little bit, so this could last you for quite a while!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">It's a really great moisturizer cause immediately you can feel how plump and moisturized your skin is, and your skin feels fresh and not heavy at all. However, for oilier skin, you have to be careful, cause it can make you look oilier if you use too much.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> It smells very fresh. It reminds me of water... even though water doesn't have a smell, but it just reminds me of something very fresh and light. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #666666;">It feels like a VERY THICK cream (yet 'watery'), and you think it's gonna make you oily and clog your pores, but it really doesn't. Since being a thick cream, you only need the tiniest bit for your whole face, and once applied, it feels great. Your skin feels very plump, moisturized, and fresh. It definitely seals in all the moisture of your skin without it feeling heavy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">The packaging is a thick glass jar. Not the most sanitary, but I really love the design of the jar and the mint color. The cap actually 'snaps' when twisted, so you know it's completely sealed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Amount:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">60 ml. / 2.02 fl. oz.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
^Swatch of all the colors in order^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. This color is very tropical because it's a sheer coral with a fine hot pink shimmer. Since this is a sheer color, it's very easy to wear in the summer. I love the different 'colors' this polish gives off; it could be a coral orange or a coral hot pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: Toe color; 2-3 coats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. This color is VERY sheer/translucent. It could be worn alone as just a hint on pink or it could be put on a very opaque color to give it a pink tint. I like how it makes my nails look 'clean' because it's pretty much a natural color. There is a little bit of silver shimmer, but very few, so you can't really see them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: Nail color, 2-3 coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I recently bought this color, and I am in love already! It's such a pretty purple color! It reminds me orchids; favorite flower! It's very bright, yet still very wearable. This color is quite opaque, so the number of coats just build up on it's fullness in color. 1 coat is enough for a opaque finish that's a light orchid purple , 2 coats gives it a full purple that is very opaque, and 3 coats just makes it a darker purple.</div>
<div style="color: lime; text-align: center;">
***Fun idea: Try using this color doing a french tip! A peek of fun! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: Nail color, 1 or 2 coats / Toe color, 2 coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. This color is also VERY sheer/translucent. It could be worn alone as a natural shimmer nail color or it could be put on top another color for a shimmer effect (matching base colors). The color itself is a light peach base with fine pink/peach shimmers. The more coats just mean the more shimmer!</div>
<div style="color: lime; text-align: center;">
***Fun idea: Try putting this on top of a classical white french tip for a summer tint! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: Nail color, 1-3 coats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Just for the classic french tip OR designs (polka dots) for your nails. I love wearing french tips for the summer because it looks incredibly clean, and not as heavy as full-on polishes. I found this the other day, and it was super cheap, like $2 or something? And it's great for french tips because it's opaque, not too runny or thick, dries quickly, and last a long time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: Nails or Toes, 1-2 coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: blue; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember this pretty thing I got a while back from a giveaway? I've actually been using it enough to make a review on it! Even though it's already well known.... I really love this gloss because it's pigmented and the color is just so pretty! I've practically been wearing this gloss by its own almost everyday, LOVE!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rating: </b><span style="color: #666666;"> 9 out of 10 </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Color:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">No. 6 Candy Pink</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Me: </b><span style="color: #666666;">I don't really use any lip products other than balms, but when I do, I usually wear lip glosses. And this one is definitely one of my favorite because it actually has color and not just 'glossy'! I like how its like the perfect 'baby pink' color that I think will be flattering for all. I like how it's not sticky, and it's like the perfect color for springtime!</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Repurchase: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Maybe in a different color!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Just put this on top of your bare lips for a pretty milky pink color! **You might want to apply a balm or something before because it kinda brings out the lines in your lips/chapped skin if you're not careful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">$15-18; It's a little pricey for such a small product, but then again, this is based on US prices and this is a Japanese product.... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">This is the most pigmented lip gloss I've ever used. You can actually see the PINK when you apply it and it's just not clear. There are no sparkles or anything, so it looks pretty natural as well. It's defiantly not sticky; I feel like it's a cross between a stain and a gloss because it stays on for a quite a while too!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell: </b><span style="color: #666666;">No smell!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #666666;">This lip gloss is not sticky, even though it may feel like it when you just put it on/out of the tube. Slowly, it kinda becomes just a lip stain. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">This gloss is a lot smaller than most of your usual lipglosses. Very simple packaging, just a pink tube and a black top with 'Melliesh' printed on it and some gold accents on the cap. The applicator just looks like your typical applicator, however, the brush itself is a little bigger than most normal ones.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Amount:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">10 ml. / .34 fl. oz. </span></div>

Woo! I'm super excited to do this post! My mom came back from NY, and she bought me all these masks including some other skincare items, but these were definitely the star of them all! <a href="http://withoutwordsforyou.blogspot.com/2011/04/haul-mybeautydiary-and-faceq-masks.html" target="_blank">The last haul consisted of mostly My Beauty Diary masks</a>, but this time, it's mostly My Scheming! Both brands are very well known for their masks, and I've only tried one My Scheming mask, and I really liked it! Some people prefer My Scheming over My Beauty Diary, but we'll just have to see!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I think these masks should be really nice for the wintertime when my skin is just super dry because of the cold and dry weather. I'm sure both of these masks will help in improving skin's suppleness and plumpness as well. </div>

First things first, whitening should not be associated with bleaching and trying to be 'super pale'... Whitening has so do with improving your skin's luminosity and clarity, and making it look 'translucent'. Like healthy and dewy skin; plus it can help with lightening any scars you have as well. I know the My Beauty Diary's Arbutin Whitening mask is really well known for its effectiveness, and I'm curious to see how this one will work out! I hope these masks will help to lighten up my acne scars! </div>

These masks were the ones that couldn't fix in, so my mom took the boxes away, haha! I'm so happy I got more of the <a href="http://withoutwordsforyou.blogspot.com/2011/04/review-mybeautydiary-apple-polyphenol.html" target="_blank">Apple Polyphenol</a> mask because it is my FAVORITE mask of all time! I will probably use these first since they're out of the boxes ^__^<br />

Anyways! This is was in my <a href="http://withoutwordsforyou.blogspot.com/2011/10/fall-haul.html">Fall Haul</a> like wayyyy back, but I finally got around to reviewing it! This is like one of the first Pop items I've tried, and I have to say, it's pretty good! I love how different it is from almost every other lip glosses; it's just very unique! It's great for the upcoming spring/summer because it's such a pretty and light gloss!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rating:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">8 out of 10</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Color:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Melted Peach</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Me: </b><span style="color: #666666;">I usually hate wearing any lip products because I don't like the feeling of it, and it's just too troublesome! But when I do, this is probably one of my favorite lip glosses. I love how watery and non-sticky it is, and because of the mint, it cools your lips and adds a little plumping effect. This looks great on top of a lipstick too because it adds a little pretty shine :) </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Repurchase: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Yes; I would definitely love to try this in a different color!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Just put this on top of your bare lips or on top of a lipstick/stain for a pretty shine! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">$14; I think it is a tad pricey, but not over the top pricey because this is like a drugstore brand almost. Do I think it's worth it? ...not really actually; It's not something that's super glam; it's just a normal everyday lip gloss.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">It leaves your lips soooo moisturized, and it lasts a very long time! I wore this and then I accidentally fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was still on! The only thing I really don't like is the color pay-off; you can barely tell the difference on your lips! You can see very fine shimmers in the tube, but you can't really see them on your lips. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell: </b><span style="color: #666666;">It has a sweet minty smell that's not too strong! Very soothing scent that's not totally in-your-face. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #666666;">This gloss is very watery! It feels a little sticky when you apply it on, but once its on your lips, you can't feel that it's sticky at all! Feels like nothing! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">The packaging style is very unique because it's in a tube, but it has an applicator too! The applicator is super duper cool because it's like a spatula! Its very easy to use, and great for the gloss texture itself because you'll never get too much on your lips. And the tube is very sturdy and convenient to carry around! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Amount:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">10 ml. / .34 fl. oz. </span></div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-afbiCXHAZ54/TxY6VYk6vsI/AAAAAAAAAu4/7rY9vWbgdtc/s1600/SAM_0492.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-afbiCXHAZ54/TxY6VYk6vsI/AAAAAAAAAu4/7rY9vWbgdtc/s640/SAM_0492.JPG" width="500" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's March already!! Time flies! It's almost time for the summer time or spring break and traveling is something that a lot people will be doing during those breaks! So here's a review on a travel set of the EcoTool's brush set for eye makeup. Let's get started! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>Rating:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">7.5 out of 10</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b style="color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Me:</b><span style="color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> </span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Now who doesn't like convenience?! This was actually my first "brush set" and it really did me well because everything is just very basic and easy to carry around. I currently own a lot of EcoTools brushes and they're soooo soft; I love them! I always have this mini brush roll with me whenever I travel or go somewhere because it's small and it just contains very basic tools.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> On the back of the original packaging, it lists the brushes and their uses, but I wanted to share how I use these brushes too! </span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b> </b><span style="color: #38761d;">Blend: </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">This is one bigggg brush! It's like almost the same size as my thumb! If you try to blend with this brush, all your eye make-up literally goes away... Unless you're packing on a solid dark color, this brush is terrible for blending. HOWEVER! For travel I like to use this to apply BLUSH even though its small, it's easy to blend the blush around!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #38761d; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Highlight: <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">I personally would use this brush for BLENDING because it's just like your typical fluffy-blending-brush! It does a pretty good job at blending and giving a soft effect.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #38761d; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Crease: <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;">BEST BRUSH in this whole roll! It's so easy to use to do your crease because it's at an angle so it creates the perfect shape. I love love love this brush!<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #38761d; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Shade: <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">This is quite small for a shading brush because you can't really pack on a whole lot of color or anything. It's good for applying color on your lids or smudging. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"> Smudge: </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">This is a decent brush for smudging because it does the job, but it's just a little too fluffy to get a good control of 'smudging'. </span></span><b></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;">$7.99; that is a really good price for this set because it has your essentials and the brush quality is really soft! *Don't forget any coupons or promotions so you can get this at a cheaper price!<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The brushes are soooooo soft and the handles are really nice as well, I really like <br />that they have the different brush names imprinted on the side. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>Size: </b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">6 brushes </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The packaging of the brush set itself is really convenient because it folds out to a section with the brushes (each held by a stretchy band) and it has a small rectangular mirror (the mirror isn't very clear). The canvas material gets dirty really easily and looks really bad after a while, so you have to wash it... It's really easy to take around though because it's small and contains really basic things.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>EcoTools:</b> <a href="http://www.ecotools.com/bamboo-6-piece-eye-brush-set"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">http://www.ecotools.com/bamboo-6-piece-eye-brush-set</span></span></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #ff5868; font-family: cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<b>Overall: <span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">If you're a beginner or someone that just doesn't wear a lot of makeup, this MIGHT be a good little set to take with you just to have brushes to use at your convenience when you do wear make-up. But if you already have many brushes and stuff; you should SKIP this.</span></span></b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: cursive;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm super ready to review this moisturizer cause I really love this! It's like perfect for combination skin; perfect! I've had this since like mid-November and I'm almost halfway through! I remember first hearing about this in one of BubzBeauty's favorite videos, so I kept that in mind and finally went to go get it when I ran out of moisturizer! Well, follow up on the review!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rating:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">8.5 out of 10</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Skin type:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Any; great for combination!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Me:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">I use this only at night because I use my Benefit moisturizer with SPF in the morning, but you could and night if you'd like! The thing about this moisturizer, is that it's really good for combination! It moisturizes my dry areas (cheeks) and it slightly moisturizes my oily T-zone without making it super oily or sticky! I love how light weight is is, and the way it smells is heavenly! I'm really excited to try more Korres products :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Repurchase: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Yes! Unless I find something that's better for moisturizing at night, I'm definitely going to buy another one when I run out!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">After washing your face, applying toner, apply this on! Try to just dip your finger into it once to prevent less contamination. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">$32; not that expensive, but not cheap either. I would say it's pretty good for the price because it has lasted me for about 5 months or so?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">It's a really really great moisturizer for combination skin because it moisturizes dry skin and doesn't make oily parts oilier. ** If you're dry-combination, this might be not enough moisture in the winter time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> It smells super nice! I really love the scent. It's super fresh and light. It smells like sweet pomegranate? I just really like the smell... makes me happy ^_^</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Its not really a watery cream, but it's not super thick either... It's is more "water-like" though. You can't really tell about the "gel" aspect though, but it's very watery and it's like "cooling". It's super light because it sinks into your skin like immediately.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">The packaging is a thick glass jar. Not the most sanitary, but the color is really cool... haha!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Amount:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">1.25 oz </span></div>

Haven't done a haul in a while :) Taking advantage of Ulta's 20% coupon and this is what I bought. I realized that like everything was a hue of pink, how funny! So far, I'm really happy with these purchases because they're so pretty! Let's get to the haul! </div>

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">NYX Glitter Cream Palette - Bronze Goddess ($5.99)</span></b><br />~ I'm super surprised on how easy it is to use this! It gives such a festive touch to any look! The glitters may look big; but you cannot feel them on your eye at all! I really love the middle color; it's so pretty!<br /><b style="color: #38761d;">Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter - Peach Parfait ($7.49)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ There were so many mixed reviews out there; but I eventually decided to get one because this color just really appealed to me. I really like this line because there are so many color selections! It may seem really moisturizing when you put it on; but on the long run, it does not moisturize your lips! The color on the other hand; is very pretty. This color is like the natural color of your lips with pretty shimmers. I really love the color and the packaging! </div>

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">- 011 Sheer Rose</span></b><br />~ I LOVE this color! It's so pretty! Its like the perfect nude color for me because it's not all that 'brown' It's like perfect for the colder season! I love this color a lot!</div>

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">- 007 Sheer Blossom</span></b><br />~ LOVE! It's such a pretty color as well! I actually have it on my nails right now :) It's like the perfect baby pink. I actually like how sheer it is because it looks very natural and cute. This polish does have some fine sparkles in it; it's so pretty.</div>

<b style="color: #38761d;">Sally Hansen Diamond Strength - 230 Sweetie Pie ($3.99)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ First things first, I love the packaging. It's like the prettiest packaging ever! The bottle itself has like cuts at the bottom so it looks like a gem. The color I thought i would really love; but there's something about it that didn't give me that 'wow' factor. It's still a really pretty creamy coral though!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="color: #38761d;">OPI Nail Lacquer - Peach a Boo ($8.99)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ I am in love with this color! This does have to go on top of another color, but it's so pretty! It's a very translucent color with peachy shimmers. The shimmers are also very iridescent; ranging from a peach to a pink color. I love wearing it under a light pink. </div>
<div style="color: #38761d; text-align: center;">
<b>ULTA Nail Lacquer - Glitter Top Coat ($7.50)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ This glitter polish isn't one that's jammed packed with glitter, and surprisingly I really like it! It adds just a little sparkle to bling up any polish! The formula itself is not thick; which is good. The sparkles in this is also not too chunky! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="color: #38761d;">Rimmel - Base Coat Top Coat Pro ($3.99)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ Two in one! It's really easy to use because the applicator is very unique; it's like two applicators in one. Which makes sense because you want to do it fast! Sadly, it doesn't make the color of the polish super shinny like my other top coat; but that's okay because it does prevent chipping for a while! <br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a good day!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yay! Finally got the time to sit down and start posting reviews again! I actually got this not too too long ago, around November?I bought a whole bunch of different moisturizers because I was completely out! I'll try to review all of them if I can... I remember when Benefit just came out with their skin care line "B. Right!" and I was totally drooling over everything because the packaging was just so pretty and I've always been a big fan of Benefit products ^_^ Finally got around to trying this out; and I actually really like it!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rating:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">9 out of 10</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Skin type:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">Any; great for combination!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Me:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">I love multitasking products; and this one is it! This is probably one of my favorite moisturizers with SPF because it's so light yet moisturizing! This oil-free moisturizer is also great for my combination skin because it's moisturizing enough, but it doesn't make me shiny (except for a little bit in the summer). I've always been a big fan of Benefit, and honestly, when they came out with their skincare line, I was super happy! I was going to initially purchase their full-on moisturizer; but that thing is thick! That might be good for very cold and dry climate though, but not where I live! I use this in the mornings and it's super easy to get everything I need in the morning ^_^</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Repurchase: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Yes! It's a great moisturizer, and I haven't tried anything like it yet! It's light, moisturizing, and it has SPF. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How-to:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">After washing your face in the morning, use toner/serum, and apply this on your face and neck for your morning moisturizer and sunscreen! You can use more sunscreen if you need, but SPF 15 seems adequate for indoors and little sun exposure. *** I use about 2-3 pumps each time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">$28; It's not the cheapest, but reasonably affordable. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">It's super lightweight, oil-free, and contains SPF! It's a great moisturizer!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> It has a really light and fresh scent; cucumber-like. All the items in the Benefit skincare line all have a similar smell and it's quite soothing. Nothing too heavy; very light and pleasant. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #666666;">Emulsions are usually very light and watery, but this comes out more like a lotion/cream. Not thick, but enough to hold the consistency. It feels great in the morning because when my face is still moist, it coolingly sinks in :) One word: Light-cream. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #666666;">I love the packaging for the whole line! Super cute and it fits nicely! It has a cork-like cap (it's plastic) and the pump is very easy to control. The bottle design is very unique, however it is a tad inconvenient because of the wide bottom; a little unbalanced. However, I love how unique it is :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So a few weeks ago, Sasa was hosting a 'look-out' for users to test this serum out! They chose 20 people and sent out these little 'trial' bottles. Sasa was so nice about everything and it was really fast too; when I received information that I would be getting one, I got one in the next week! I've been using this serum for a little over a week now, and I have seen a change to my skin! It's weird because I did see change to my skin, but even my friends commented on how soft and smooth my skin looked! And that's what blew me away :) Let's get on to the review!<br />
**Being a sponsored/trial user has nothing to do with how I'm going to review this product!<br />

It's very light, yet the benefits are amazing! I've been using this for a little over a week now, and I only use it at night. This serum is actually perfect to add to my wintertime skincare routine
since my skin does get a little drier in the wintertime; it's been the time of finals and tests so this majorly helped my skin. My skin does feel a little firmer, smoother, and brighter! My friends even commented on how smooth my skin looked ^_^ I've actually been eying Suisse Programme products ever since Aimee Chan endorsed it; ironic ! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Purchase:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">Yes if I could! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>How to:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">After washing your face and using toner, pump 1 pump into your palm and massage/pat it on your face/neck. Day and night. Then apply moisturizer or just continue with the rest of your skincare routine!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Price:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">$155; that is really really expensive! However, '</span><a href="http://www.suisseprogramme.com/SP/eng/main/index.jsp" style="color: #444444;">Suisse Programme</a><span style="color: #444444;">' is a prestigious skincare line... I would get this if I could, but the trial size has changed my skin, so hopefully it will say that way :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Quality:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">I really do like this serum, cause it does everything it's suppose to. However, I feel like for the full price, I should see something more out of it, or at least a more dramatic change to my skin. Overall though, it does what it's suppose to and has improved my skin ^_^</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Smell:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">I don't know how to describe the smell, but it reminds me to vitamin E and honey? It's not a sweet smell, but it's not a heavy/distinctive smell either. The smell immediately goes away after it sinks into your skin and you can't smell it at all later on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Texture: </b><span style="color: #444444;">It comes out like a watery gel, and it immediately sinks into your skin after massaging/patting it into your skin. It does feel sticky at first, but after it is dry/absorbed, you don't feel a thing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Packaging:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">It comes in pump bottle and you just pump out the product; easy to control and sanitary!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Amount:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">Full size = 30 ml.</span></div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ez69flF1_DI/Top9NpUcqhI/AAAAAAAAAnA/64Xlde3qreY/s1600/SAM_1141.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ez69flF1_DI/Top9NpUcqhI/AAAAAAAAAnA/64Xlde3qreY/s640/SAM_1141.JPG" width="325" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I've used this product since forever!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Rating:</span> <span style="color: #666666;">8 out of 10</span></div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Skin Type:</span> <span style="color: #666666;">Oily skin; blemishes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Me: </span> <span style="color: #666666;">I personally have combination skin and I often break-out or get a blemish here and there. I have about 2 acne treatments that are my HG items and this is one of them. I love this item! I feel like it really works for me and it's just pure tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is known as a natural ingredient that works against oily skin and blemishes. I put this on just any type of blemishes; but its especially good for those that are really stubborn or just irritating. I think I've gone through like 2 bottles already? And I still have back-ups.</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff6666;">Repurchase:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> </span><span style="color: #666666;">Yes! I have two back-ups of this, and I will continue buying this until I find something even better.</span><br />
<b style="color: #ff6666;">How to: </b><span style="color: #666666;">After washing your face and applying moisturizer, use this treatment last. Using a Q-tip, carefully drop some oil on it and apply it on any blemishes or any areas that are problematic. Or, if you have a larger area, carefully drop some oil on a clean finger and dab it in that area. ** I would recommend using this particular treatment to heal acne (that you've popped) or on a big zit to dry it up. This also reduces redness of big zits!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Price: </span><span style="color: #666666;">$9 really inexpensive for this since you only need a little and this will last you forever! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Quality:</span><span style="color: #ff6666;"> </span><span style="color: #666666;">I really like this oil because it's pure and it works! It's not the most effective or fastest way, but it heals and reduces the redness of the zit and takes the acne away. Tea tree is a well-known natural ingredient that fights against acne. </span></div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Smell: </span><span style="color: #666666;">It smells very minty; the typical tea tree smell. Not a peppermint smell, but more like a earthy mint. The smell does not bother me at all, and it feels tingly on the skin.</span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Texture: </span><span style="color: #666666;">It does come out as a liquid, but not 'oily'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Packaging: </span><span style="color: #666666;">The packaging has changed a little bit ever since it just came out. I think the very first one is just an open mouth with no stopper, so you had to dip a Q-tip in carefully. Now. it comes with this small stopper with a 'spout' opening. Course, the product is in a little glass container with a secure screw-top cap. It is pure oil; so the packaging is not really convenient; I think it would be better if it had a dropper.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Amount: </span><span style="color: #666666;">0.33 fl. oz. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been really really debating on this question for such a long time now! I really want one, but I feel like I don't need it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
^^ A little FOTD ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make-up: MAC Eyeshadow (Pollen), Physicians Formula "Lash Boosting Liner" (Deep Brown), Revlon "Grow Luscious Mascara" (Black Shimmer), and MAC "Dazzleglass" (Sugar Rimmed). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This will just be a random little blog post of my IKEA exploration on the infamous "Black Friday" I bought a few pieces for my room, but most of all; I was testing out my new camera I got on Black Friday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Introducing.... The <a href="http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&partNumber=DSCH70/L">Sony Cyber-shot H70</a>! <3 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far, I am really liking this camera because the quality is very nice! I highly recommend this point-and-shoot camera! So from now on; the pictures on this blog will be now shot with this camera, and hopefully I'll figure out how to take a picture of my eye to show you some mascara, eyeliner, or circle lens shot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Any tips on shooting pictures of your eye?</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are some of my favorite pictures from IKEA:</div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oEYQLtpVflU/TrIlewYsBXI/AAAAAAAAAok/lkj28iTEogU/s1600/SAM_1757.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oEYQLtpVflU/TrIlewYsBXI/AAAAAAAAAok/lkj28iTEogU/s640/SAM_1757.JPG" width="245" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally. I have time to do this post! See? I'm almost done with the toner! I feel so accomplished! This is my very first Laneige product, and I am in love! I really want to try more of their products; but first I need to finish what I have (or so I hope). Toner is something I always use and is part of my daily skincare routine so finding a good toner is very important to me. This is definitely one of my favorites and I hope I can repurchase this soon! Anyways, let's get onto the review in detail:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Rating:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">9.5 out of 10</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Skin Type:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">All skin types; normal to oily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Me:</span> Toners are definitely essential in my skincare routine and it really helps to refine my pores and make sure that everything is off my face. This is my very first Laneige product, and I really really love it! From using this product, I feel like my skin has been better overall. This has kept my acne in check and it really cleans my skin with an extra step. There has been a pretty good improvement in my skin ever since I've used this product.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #ff6666;">How to: </span></b>Apply this to a cotton pad and wipe this all over your face after your normal skincare routine day and night. OR Apply this to thin sheets of cotton pad and use this as a moisture refining mask. <span style="color: #ff6666;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Price: </span>$25-40 It's a really big range, but it depends on where you get it and all the specials going on. I personally don't remember how much I bought it for, but I think it was in the $25 range? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Quality: </span>I really love this product; worth the money and it helps your skin. I think it does help to improve my skin texture and help refine my pores a little. <span style="color: #444444;"> </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Smell:</span> I don't know how to describe the smell, but I love it! It's fresh, but it doesn't smell strong at all! It smells 'natural', like a product that you know doesn't have chemicals that are harmful to your skin. I really love the smell, so light and refreshing. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Texture</span><span style="color: #ff6666;">:</span> It has a water consistency that soaks into your skin and refreshes it immediately! </div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Packaging: </span>It comes in a tall glass bottle with a screw cap top and has a rubber stopper. It may seem inconvenient and bulky, but the bottle is very slim and not that heavy! The screw cap top is amazingly easy to screw off, just a light twist will take the cap off and it does not leak at all. I love the rubber stopper inside because it controls the amount of product you want. The packaging makes this product look so pretty to have ^_^<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Amount:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">160 ml. / 5.4 fl. oz.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">

Yay! I finally have the time to post something on here. I wish I could blog more; I really do enjoy doing it, but hopefully I'll have more time later in the year. Now, it's finally getting colder! I'm so glad, cause I love cold weather. So most of the things I got from this haul is from Ulta; but there are some things here and there of course. Everything in this haul is completely new to me and I hope they work out for me. If you have tried any of these things; let me know what you think of it! ^_^</div>

<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3800009#sku2238018">L'Oreal; Delice Blush - Limited Edition Project Runway: 425 Charming Cockatoo</a><br />
My first L'Oreal product! I've heard lots of raves about their "LE Project Runway collection" and at Ulta, almost everything was gone! Suddenly, I came across this blush, and I had to get it! I've swatched it on my hand, and the color is so pretty! You get a lot of product, it's quite cheap ($10), and the pigmentation pays of really well! I would say that this is a kinda shimmery pinkish-coral blush; it's so nice! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2233274&productId=xlsImpprod3560013&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80042">Pop Beauty; Blitz Kit Basic </a><br />
One word. STEAL. You get 3 eyeliners for the price of one; $15! This is part of Pop's holiday gift set, this is their glitter liner set that includes: purple, black, and brown. I've swatched them, and they are very nice, I love the glitter effect! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2570115">Pop Beauty; No Show No Shine Powder: Two Level Out</a><br />
Personally, I have combination skin and when I got color matched for this, it really controlled my shine. As for me when I wear make-up, I usually do concealer, and would brush this over my face to set it. It provides quite heavy coverage from what I've seen! $22.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2222029&productId=xlsImpprod2570111&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80060#sku2222031">Pop Beauty; Aqua Lacquer: Melted Peach</a><br />
Super cool product! It comes in a tube with a rubber spatula applicator. This product is super unique! It's water, so it is not sticky at all, but it doesn't feel greasy and it stays on for a long time and quite moisturizing too! It seems very liquidy, but the color is quite nice; and you get plump, watery lips ~ And you only need a little but it covers a lot; $14.<br />
<a href="http://www.maybelline.com/products/104/face/concealer/mineral-power-natural-perfecting-concealer/cream/30?shadeId=566&view=shades&position=228">Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer: Cream 30</a><br />
This was actually on clearance for $3.99 because my Ulta wasn't carrying this anymore. so I decided to get it. I've heard a lot of raves about this, and I can see why! It covers a lot, and is easily blendable. It doesn't really come a great deal of colors, but this shade is just a touch light for me. But I like it nonetheless! </div>

<a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P283507&categoryId=B70">Benefit Triple Performing Face Emulsion SPF 15 PA++</a><br />
I've been dying to get something from Benefit's new line of skincare! I was contemplating on whether to get this or their actual moisturizer. I eventually gave into this because it was incredibly light, yet moisturizing, and it has an SPF 15. I love the packaging; super cute and so far I really like this product! $28; but you get a lot of product, and I only use 2 pumps every day for my face. I use this everyday in the morning regardless. <br />
<a href="http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P96600&categoryId=B70">Korres Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer</a><br />
I remember hearing this product somewhere before, and it was a really good raving review about this product; I've been meaning to get it for quite a while too. I have combination skin, and so far; I LOVE THIS. I have dry skin and oily skin, and this provides enough moisturizing effects for both skin types and does not make me oily. Especially since wintertime is rolling around the corner, this does not make my face feel dry. I really enjoy the product! $32.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2157405&productId=prod380018&navAction=push&navCount=1&subdoc=3ddfacne&categoryId=cat80182">DDF Sulfur Therapeutic Mask</a><br />
My skin has been really bad lately. Like I have these blemishes that just will not go away! They have been there for a month, but they go away, and come back. I just want to get rid of them for good! I actually don't have a deep-cleansing mask any more since I used up my charcoal one from Origins. I decided to give this a try since DDF is also quite known for their acne products. $40 is a whopping price to pay for a mask, but you get SO MUCH product! It's a really big jar; I hope it works! <br />
<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2225721&productId=xlsImpprod3110333&navAction=push&navCount=1&subdoc=5315offacnewk2311&categoryId=cat80184%20cat80182">Formula 10.0.6 Down to the Pore Blackhead Banishing Pore Strips </a><br />
Also, just looking around Ulta when I was buying things; these big bold letters caught my eyes. I'm so tired of my black heads and I just want to get rid of them. This is a pretty new brand I believe, cause I have never ever heard of them, but the description sounds pretty promising! $5.99; pretty average price, and you get 6 stripes. I hope this works for me! <br />

Hello again! I'm sorry for the hiatus again... but school has been really busy lately, and will be, but I'll still try to squeeze in a post! I've been meaning to review this product for so long, and finally here I am! This line, I would say, is one of the lesser known lines of Etude House, and I got this back in my <a href="http://withoutwordsforyou.blogspot.com/2010/09/haul-thefaceshop-and-etude-house.html">Mini Haul.</a> I've had this product for such a long time, but in all honesty I don't like it. I've tried going back and forth with it, mixing it with other products etc, but I just don't like it! There are very few products that I don't like, but this just happens to be one of them. Now, let's get into details about this! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Aqua Sherbet contains mineral rich glacial water from Alaska and vitamin rich grapefruit water to supply skin cooling complexion care. Lotion replenishes and restores moisture balance to complexion." </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Rating:</span> 4 out of 10</div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Skin Type:</span> Oily skin.<br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Me: </span>Originally, I intended to buy this as a moisturizer and I thought it would be extremely good for the summer because it's like "cooling". Lies and deception. During the summer, I usually have oily to combination skin, and I knew that this would be a light moisturizer to do that. I was really intrigued by like "cooling glacial water" and "grapefruit", but this is such a big disappointment. However, it is just too drying for my skin; I have tried mixing it with a heavier cream to balance it out, but my skin in general does not 'like' this product. After using it for about 2 weeks, my mom commented on how dull my skin looked! I mean, it did literally nothing for my skin, its like the worst thing I've ever came upon! I like how watery it feels, but it provides little moisturizing effects to my skin. <br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff6666;">Now:</span></b> Currently; I am not using this moisturizer at all for my face. I am using it as a make-up fixer. <br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff6666;">Repurchase:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> </span>No, definitely not, I've tried better moisturizers and I bet there are better ones that I have not tried.<br />
<b style="color: #ff6666;">How to: </b>Following serum application, use hand to apply lotion to all areas of face and neck. <br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Price: </span>I don't even remember the price, but I remember it being one of the priciest things I got in that haul. I think maybe around $20? Not sure, but definitely not worth it!! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Quality:</span><span style="color: #ff6666;"> </span>I would label this as light lotion. It is too light! It's really not worth it, and it doesn't really do anything to my skin. If anything, it makes my skin even duller!</div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Smell: </span>I thought it was gonna smell fruity, but it smells nothing like grapefruit! I do not like the smell at all, it doesn't smell 'safe' for my face... It kinda smells like hand sanitizer with a slight hint of bitter-sweet grapefruit. I think the smell may irritate those with sensitive skin. <span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Texture: </span>Extremely watery and light. It comes out almost like a blue watery gel. It may feel like your skin is soaking it in all the way, but your skin does not feel hydrated at all. It may feel like it does at the beginning, but after, it's just back to like nothing. <br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Packaging: </span>The concept is cute, but its very unrealistic. It's a heavy glass bottle; which is annoying because you use a moisturizer almost two times a day, and it's such a hassle for this packaging! Inside, the opening is a really big hole so it's so easy to spill out too much! The cap is very pretty though!<br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Amount:</span> 150 ml. / 5.07 fl. oz. <br />

It's been a while since I've done a haul, and this time I'm going MAC! I already own quite a lot of MAC shadows, but for a wedding that I went to, I had an appointment to get my make-up done, and I also got some of the things they used on my face! I absolutely love the look! I've tried recreating the look a couple times, but it's still not as amazing as when I got it professionally done. However, I do not regret my purchases so far because they're pretty practical and versatile! I hope you like this haul! </div>

This, I actually got a little before the actual haul, but I thought I'd just might as well include it in here! These two shades are absolutely gorgeous! To me, both of them are very versatile because they could be used alone, or added to a look for a more dramatic of special feel. I love using tan alone for a light sweep of color to give my eyes a pop or adding it to a smokey brown look to accentuate the brown color. Kitschmas is a gorgeous shimmery and sparkly color, I love it so much! I love using it alone to add some sparkle, or adding it on top of other shadows for a shimmering finish. Honestly, I think this is a pretty translucent color with just a tiny hint of pink, so you can top this off any look! **A little goes a long way!</div>

I seems very simple, but you can easily layer this and add depth. In
real life, it isn't as dark as it looks on the website. It's a great
simple color to use alone, add depth, layer, or accentuate the outer-V. I
really love this simple brown, it's like the basic must-have! </div>

I knew immediately I had to get this because its so shimmery! The color is so nice as well! It gives a really cute pink glow on your cheeks; dewy finish! This is a LE color that came out with MAC's "Semi Precious" collection; however, some MAC counters may still have some! I love this product; so cute and lovely! </div>

This is such a gorgeous lipgloss! Super sparkly and beautiful! I love the color because you can wear it alone, or on top of a lip color. The only thing that I do not like about this is the formula; it's too sticky for me, but I think that's how it's suppose to be so it stays on. In general though, I really love this gloss because its very pretty; my lips do look 'sugarrimmed' and it has a hint of a sweet vanilla!</div>

I absolutely love this product! It's so easy to use and so pretty! Since this is a light gold, it can be layered on anything or just worn alone! Its shimmers are very fine and the cream is very smooth; like lotion! It's so pretty and I just love using it alone to bring some light into my eyes or to enhance another shadow! I would definitely go grab myself some other shades!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love shadesticks because they are so easy to use and convenient! This color is actually quite sheer with a very light wash of a shimmery pink. However, it does hold other eyeshadows quite well. It's great to wear alone or layer under a smokey eye since its a darkish shade of a silvery pink. It's not as creamy as I would have hoped.... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is definitely a 2-in-1 product because this is easily blendable and you can line your eyes! This is a dark brown/bronze shade it looks super natural and great for smokey eyes. I like to smudge this on and blend it out; super soft! In general, I love this and I would definitely get some other shades!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've finally gotten some time to review some MBD masks! I'll try to post them up as quickly as I can, but school is really bogging my down lately! Sorry in advance for the many short hiatus to come! I still haven't tried everything from my massive haul yet! I don't remember to do a mask every week even though my skin begs for them.... Come to think of it, I might as well do one tonight since I have time and treat my skin for it's hard work. <u style="color: #6aa84f;">Lately, I've been breaking out on my cheeks a little, any remedies and recommendations? Just leave a comment below, thank you!</u></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Rating:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">9.5 out of 10</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Skin Type:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">All skin types; especially combination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Me:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">For me, this was one of those masks that I've heard so many raves about and just had to try it out myself! One fact about me: I LOVE STRAWBERRIES!! (If you haven't already caught on.) Honestly, I really love this mask because partially because it smells so good and it really works on my skin! I love using this when my skin needs some hydration, brightening, or when my skin just needs a little boost. This mask is good for combination skin because it controls the oil and sebum of your skin; it leaves my skin really smooth, bright, fresh, and I do feel like the next few days, my T-zone is less oily!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #ff6666;">How to:</span></b><span style="color: #ff6666;"> <span style="color: #444444;">After washing you face, apply this mask and leave it on for about 20-30 minutes (or longer if you wish). After that, take off the mask, rub the essence into your skin and continue with your usual skincare routine! *You don't need to wash off!*</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Price: </span><span style="color: #ff6666;"><span style="color: #444444;">$10-17 per box; per sheet < $2 As always, MBD masks are really affordable and effective! I say this mask is a must; might as well buy the whole box!</span></span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Quality: </span><span style="color: #ff6666;"><span style="color: #444444;">I think this mask lives up to its expectations! This mask is made for combination skin and I think it does help with that! Controls oil and sebum, but I don't know about pore tightening so much because it does a little, but not much. It does make my skin smooth and you can instantly see a 'brighter' skintone after taking this off. </span></span><span style="color: #444444;"> </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Smell:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">It smells so amazing! It smells like a sweet strawberry yogurt, so yummy! It doesn't smell 'artificial' either, it smells so fresh and light.I love the smell so much... </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Texture</span><span style="color: #ff6666;">:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">Like most of the MBD masks, they sheets are very thin, and the package has so much essence!I love rubbing the remaining essence on my neck and arms ~</span></div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Packaging:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">Cute box!! and the mask inside is put in this cute, compact aluminum bag. I love how each of the MBD masks are so unique in design; these have little strawberries on them; so cute! Unlike most masks, these masks are put in smaller pouches! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Amount:</span> <span style="color: #444444;">1 sheet/ 10 per box </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Repurchase: </span><span style="color: #ff6666;"><span style="color: #444444;">Yes!</span></span><span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;"><br />
