Lip Treatments -Smith's Rosebud Salve - Smith's Rosebud Salve
rated 4 of 5

i liked this product very much. my lips are really dry in the winter time. i live in canada so it can get reallllyy cold and really dry! soo i really think this product works well. personally i like the scent but it's really only a scented vasline since it's made of the same petrolum ingredient. so with that said, it's pleasant enough for me to repurchase, although i admit it's overpriced for the tin of vasline but i like the scent and the portable packaging i can put into my purse. but a lot of my friends have tried it and they love it to. i do like the clear glossy look it leaves after application too.

Cleansers -Biore - Warming Deep Pore Cream Cleanser
rated 3 of 5
abbykariya 1/22/2004 5:28:00 PM

this face wash is nothing as warming or as good as their warming mask...i was so dissapointed i couldn't even feel the warmiing sensation...it's more like a super gentle warmth for about a split second. i don't htink it's worth it, but all an all it's still a good cleanser, not drying removes makeup..just not warm like they marketed it to be. but girls with oily skin like me should try it out

i love this product. i used it on my hands when the sales person told me to try it. it was amazing. my hands haven't been this smooth in a long time. it's winter here in canada, and it gets really dry. so it was amazing to see my hands so soft in along while. this product is totally worth it as ahand scrub. i'mloving this product.

Treatments -Clinique - Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel
rated 5 of 5
abbykariya 9/13/2003 12:06:00 PM

i love this product...although the packaging does cause some difficulty when getting out the last bit of product, i really like the see through bottle. As well, this 2% salicidic (sp) gel really does work...i put it on a zit at night time, and by morning it's shrunk to less than half it's size...then i reapply it before i go to school, and after school, i notice that the bump of the zit is no longer there. i love this product. i gave it to my mom to try after she got a tiny little zit on her cheek, and after one night of using it, her zit was gone! great great product

Cleansers -Lancome - Gel Clarté Foaming Cleansing Gel
rated 4 of 5
abbykariya 3/10/2003 10:26:00 PM

i was using clarificance before i started using this. it's much better than clarificance...as i feel that it smells much better, and not as strong a scent! =) i love it. it doesn't really foam up much, and i don't mind since i don't really like foaming face washes. but it was a great cleanser. the one thing i don't like about it is that it's expensive, and also i hate the tube, as the gel leaks out onto the cap....and it wastes a lot of the product!!! =( i just stand the bottle upside down so it won't leak! oh well....it's still a great product

i just got this a few days ago. i love the color! it's a pinky-peachy color...i was originally looking for a red lip gloss...but this color looked best on my C3 colored skin (mac). it's very light...it's only a tint. but it looks great, and shiny

i got this with a GWP as the lady at the counter claims that this is a new and improved turnaround cream. it did the same thing to my skin as the original cream did....make me break out! i really did want to like it!!!

abbykariya 1/25/2003 4:20:00 PM

i was really excited to try this product, since i got a little sample from a GWP at the counter. and i was disappointed to notice that my skin was getting irritated, sensitive, red and worst of all, i was getting pimples from it!! it felt so nice and smooth on my oily skin, but it turned my skin into a total mess! it's a shame. my mom uses it and it works really well with her.

Masks -Clinique - Deep Cleansing Emergency Mask [DISCONTINUED]
rated 3 of 5
abbykariya 1/25/2003 4:18:00 PM

i bought this mask after hearing lots of good reviews. it's a decent product. doesn't really make my pimples disappear like they claim. but it does make my skin a little clearer. i asked the lady at the clinique counter, and she said that i can leave the mask on for 20mins for max. benefits. and i think it really does work better if it's left on longer. but this mask is definately my favorite clay mask from the ones i have tried

Cleansers -Lancome - Clarifiance [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5
abbykariya 1/25/2003 4:13:00 PM

i found this product at my grandmother's house and i asked to try it out. and it wasn't too bad. i don't really like the scent, but it works well to clean my oily skin. i don't mind that it doesn't foam up, but it works well to remove my makeup in one simple step. the price really is quite steep as it costs $28CND plus tax. i like the packaging as it's very sanitary. but it can have a tendancy to live my skin slightly tight after washing

i love this shampoo! it's the only shampoo i use! lol i've tried many other shampoos! but i always go back to this shampoo. with a very nice minty/tea tree scent...it's nice! doesn't dry my hair, and it's definately worth the extra price for shampoos (around $25CDN for a medium sized bottle)
