Toners -Biore - Deep Pore toner

The Biore Triple Action Toner claims that it "cleanses, tightens and clears - unclog and tightens pores to reduce surface shine". Its also dermologically tested, oil free, is hypo-allergenic and has salicylic acid and witch hazel. I bought this product because I saw that it had won a few beauty awards and I previously used the Simple range toner and it sucked. So I didnt wanted to waste my money again buying a dud. I've been using this product non-stop for the past 2 months or so and I am exceptionally satisfied with this product! I use to have really large pores, particularly around my nose area and since I've started using this product I've noticed my pores have tightened significantly. Also, the oilyness around my T-Zone area has also been reduced. When I first used this product I definately noticed a strong tingly feeling on my skin. Wasn't pain or annoying, but I guess it was just the feeling of it tightening my skin and removing the oil. The scent of the Biore toner is also really refreshing, it smells like cucumber + menthol?? Somthing like that...haha! But its a really nice smell on your skin, but if you not a fan of the smell it doesnt go away after its dried and moisturiser is applied. The 250mL bottle costs under $10 which is great value for money because I've been using this product for 2months or so now and I've only used 1/5 of the entire bottle amount! Pros * Value for money - under $10 * Easily accessible - supermarkets/priceline * Refreshing scent * Visible results - tightened pores and reduced oil Cons * Large 250mL bottle will make travelling difficult * Slightly larger opening at the lid makes it hard to control the amount you pour out If you loke my review please read more at - http://ibd14u2dn.blogspot.com/

Polishes -Rimmel - 60 Seconds Nail Polish
Livalicious 4/21/2011 6:46:00 PM
The Rimmel London 60 seconds nail polish claims on the bottle that it it is a one-coat nail polish, featuring its 1 stroke Xpress Brush for 1 second easy application that dries in less then 60seconds. Personally I dont see how a 1 second application is even possible, but nonetheless the wider 'Xpress Brush' design definately does make application easier, however depending on the width of your finger you might need between 1-3strokes to get a professional-look. I like how the brush design and formula gives it a non-streaky finish, compared to other nail polish's I've tried such as Face of Australia Colour Pro Triple Action polish that has an extremely streaky finish and dulls down the look of your nails. Not good. In the Rimmel London 60 seconds polish I own; #510 Euphoria: a soft shimmery nude colour, #415 Instyle Coral - a matte coral pink and also #220 Star Kissed - pastel pink with strong shimmers. The colours are all really nice to wear and are definately long lasting. I use Sally Hansens Nail Growth Formula (Gold) as a base coat, colour ontop and then top coat with Cutex Clear polish. Overall, out of all the 2 boxes of polishes I own, Rimmel Londons 60 seconds nail polish is my favourite for its non-streaky, professional fininsh and its long lasting quality. I will definately continue to buy from this range! Love it! =] If you like my review you can read more at - http://ibd14u2dn.blogspot.com/
