    persa gelULTRA SHEER™ Face Sun­screen
    rate4
    My Mumma doesn’t let me out of the house dur­ing the sum­mer unless I have sun­screen on. I’ve grown tired of oily Cop­per­tone prod­cuts, so I went and got the Neu­tro­gena ultra­sheer, as it had awe­some reviews. I’ve only used it twice so far but so far so good! I’m still a lit­tle bit iffy on the oily part.. IS still slightly oily, but much bet­ter as com­pared to other brands. Fur­ther­more this one is made only for the face
    Prod­uct Descrip­tion:

    persa gelSpec­tro Kids EczemaCare®
    rate4
    After return­ing toVan­cou­ver, my skin has been dry­ing up like Las Vegas. I finally went to the doc­tor to see what was up, and he explained to me it may be because of the water from the moun­tains — min­er­als and chlo­rine being too harsh on my skin. So in the end he gave me a bot­tle of Spec­tro Eczema Care for Kids. I was a lit­tle odded out by the Eczema part, but he assured me that eczema only means dry skin. I’ve been using it for the past week.. and VOILA.. no more dry skin! How­ever, after this wash I have been using Clinique’s Mois­ture Surge.

    The Van­cou­ver water part made a lot of sense for me because I had decided I wouldn’t use any prod­ucts besides water for my face.. I’m really skep­ti­cal about all the skin radi­at­ing, whiten­ing, tan­ning,  and chem­i­cally heavy products.

    persa gelClean & Clear Persa Gel
    rate4
    For the past few months, my skin has been dri­ving me crazy — pim­ples pop­ping up ran­domly. Usu­ally the norm for my skin is clear. After I began using the Clin­ique foam­ing cleanser.. I noticed that was when pim­ples started form­ing. SO.. I decided to try the Clean and Clear Persa-Gel, which was sit­ting on my bath­room counter because my brother uses it. At first.. I was highly doubt­ful it would work, but after a few appli­ca­tions I noticed that my pim­ples started to dis­ap­pear. Appar­ently this prod­uct speeds up the pim­ple process, so it dis­ap­pears faster. The down­side to this is that it’s quite high in con­cen­tra­tion ben­zoyl per­ox­ide, so it does dry up the skin around the area you’ve applied to — MOISTURIZE! If your skin is super sen­si­tive, I would sug­gest try first with a light appli­ca­tion. Another plus to this is that it has no stinky scent! harhar.. I’m not pos­i­tive if this prod­uct will be good for longterm, but for now it works :D. Price — ~$7.00

    School has been alright for me lately.. I have no home­work for the whole week HUZZAH!! but I guess I shouldn’t curse myself.. because accord­ing to my cal­cu­la­tions.. sketch­book assign­ments should be due within the next week.. and I have com­pleted none :3 hehee.

    I have a space offi­cially reserved for me at Otis now! I don’t have to worry about sleep­ing on the streets of Los Ange­les. I just hope that my room­mates will be good peo­ple. I have to start pur­chas­ing items for my dorm room.. like bed sheets.. pots.. pans.. that junk –_– puh.

    I felt like doing a review on this lip gloss because .. well.. usu­ally because I love it.. and I love this lip­gloss. I went to sears last Fri­day because they were hav­ing the Clin­ique gift with pur­chase promo, and I ended up spend­ing over $80 at the counter.. so I actu­ally got both the gift bags they had: eyes / lips. Any­way.. I decided to try it in the morn­ing because my lips felt dry.. so I swiped it on, and I was impressed by the colour + the ‘look’. Plus, it’s not all that sticky. How­ever, I can’t say that it lasts very long.. after eat­ing there’s still a lit­tle bit of stick­i­ness, but after drink­ing water, etc, it’s gone. As for the price, I’d say not all that shin­ing. $17.50CAD for a baby tube (not the size shown in the pic­ture — mine is a sam­ple size).

    ck-one-bottle-speaker-edition-hi-res-on-white CK One by Calvin Klein — Review
    rate4.5
    So I offi­cially love this scent. It smells super fresh and not too over­pow­er­ing. It kinda reminds me of fresh laun­dry, but not so much that you’re sniff­ing Downy. Fur­ther­more, unlike other fra­grances, it lasts the whole day :) .. and longer haha. If you pur­chase the lim­ited edi­tion (as shown on the left), you get the speaker (bot­tom sec­tion). It’s pretty inter­est­ing, but I must admit I have not much use for it, as it runs on bat­ter­ies.
    Price for lim­ited edi­tion: ~$60 /100mL
    Price for reg­u­lar: ~$30

    Prod­uct Description:

    “Ck one is a nat­u­rally clean, pure, and con­tem­po­rary fra­grance with a refresh­ingly new point of view. This light, relaxed scent is meant to be used lav­ishly. ck one Eau de Toi­lette can lit­er­ally be splashed all over the body. It is an inti­mate fra­grance, one that you need to be near to smell.” Amazon.com
