No7 Dual Action Tinted Moisturiser

I am starting to realize that I shop at Target A LOT, haha! Not surprisingly, I bought this product at Target too! I also went to Chipotle and had an amazing burrito, despite the weird couple next to me getting in a fight because he never listens (he forgot to get extra guacamole). I'm getting off topic! ok! So, this tinted moisturiser has been very good for me, because I do tend to keep my makeup more natural and soft looking. It won't be perfect for everyone, but for the look I'm going for it is! It is very sheer, but has pretty good coverage. I also don't need a lot of it for it to look nice, so it'll last me ages. It does have SPF 15, which I don't really care one way or the other about, but I thought I'd mention it in case you guys care about that in your makeup. Since my skin is a bit sensitive, I have to be careful about what I use on it. This tinted moisturiser hasn't left my skin feeling irritated or made it break out,  which makes sense since it is Hypo-allergenic. The only thing I would say is, is that if you do have skin that is quite blemished or you need something that will even out your skin tone, maybe go with something more heavy duty as it is very sheer.

I rate this product: Love It!

Eyeliner Precision (403)




Since I have quite squinty eyes, for most of my life I have shied away from putting eyeliner on my top lid because no matter what I did it would just end up smearing. This was very frustrating to me, especially since winged eyeliner has become so popular. I decided to get my makeup done professionally when I had a little extra money, and the ladies didn’t speak very much English. I tried to tell them not to bother with eyeliner but they just tsked and shooed away my words. They carefully applied liquid eyeliner and then instructed me to keep my eyes closed for 5 minutes. I just about fell asleep! Which would have been very awkward considering I not only walk and talk in my sleep, but I was in the middle of a very crowded mall.  Five minutes later I opened my eyes, blinked a few times, and lo and behold NO SMEARING!! It was a miracle (maybe a superficial and materialistic one but still) and I was thrilled. The eyeliner they used was Eyeliner Precision (403) by Kleancolor which costs about $2.99. I bought it at a store called Daiso, but you can also get it at http://www.kleancolor.com/index.html. Not only did I immediately buy one, but I have used it every time I wear makeup. I absolutely love it! It has taken a little bit to train my clumsy hands to apply it properly, but other than that it’s great. It comes off easily, and a bit oddly. You can of course use makeup remover but it also can be peeled off which was very surprising to me.

Soothing Aloe Vera Deodorant Stick



 Once again this post is all about sensitive skin, and body odor. That’s right people! We are talking about arm pits. God bless those poor people who think they don’t need it. Or maybe God bless those people’s friends for sticking around so long? Anyway, I am not one of those people and I am VERY aware that I need it. Since my mom is extremely into health and organic products, I occasionally try to take a page from her book and try it out. So this month I am trying Soothing Aloe Vera Deodorant Stick. This particular one can be found on http://www.jason-personalcare.com/ but you can also find it in your local store. It costs about $6.39, which is a little more than I’d like to spend on deodorant but I guess it’s worth it for the health benefits. They also have many other safe, natural products that I'm sure are amazing but that I have not tried. This particular deodorant has been pretty good. Since I do have sensitive skin, it’s especially important for me to be careful what I put on my skin in places where I shave. True to its name, it has been soothing! Normally from deodorants I get raw irritated skin, but this has been amazing. However, I will say that it doesn’t seem to last as long as other deodorants I’ve tried and so I do not like that. I think when I run out of this I will try another scent of the same brand so stay tuned!

Expert Anti-Blemish 2 in 1 Scrub and Mask


Hello everybody! For my first post, I'll write about something I love! I have such a hard time finding good skin care products because I have had sensitive skin from the time I was born. Everything I’ve tried has either been too harsh, too oily, or just plain useless. A few weeks ago I went to Target in search of the perfect face wash and finally found it!! Since I’m no expert in face washes and not really in the position to just buy tons of different ones and try them all, I had to take the word of the nicest make up salesman I have ever met! If you’re ever at the Target in federal way, ask for Robert. He’ll help you find the perfect product. He suggested this product to me and I couldn’t be happier! It’s called Expert Anti-Blemish 2 in 1 Scrub and Mask. When I bought it, it was $5.99 and worth every penny! I use it every time I shower, since I’m way too messy to try and was my face over the sink. My skin feels amazing and has cleared up almost completely!
