Misc Beauty Tools -Unlisted Brand - Swisspers

I remember I only used a cleanser to remove my face makeup and always knew it didn't complete get rid of it , I use to use facial wipes but had to many Ingriedents and fragrances that can irritate the skin, and was kinda expensive to buy them every 2 weeks , so I saw these Cotton Rounds at Walmart and bought them right away , they are not expensive and last me up to 4 weeks , these cotton rounds are gentle and remove the left over makeup on my face , now i know and feel that my skin is makeup free when i use this product , love these cotton rounds :D

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Bye-Bye Blemish - Drying Lotion
TaniitaTania 2/13/2013 2:10:00 AM
I was interested in buying this product because of the sulphur , my skin has great results with sulphur , I have previously used Benzyl peroxide on my whiteheads and it didn't help at all sometimes they got inflamed more when I used the BP but with the Sulphur it drys the whitehead and keeps it from getting inflamed and thats why I love this product ^.^ I wish I could use it under makeup but sadly this is a product that's only meant to be used when your at home all day or just meant to be used at night , just hate that the pink sediment is half way of the glass bottle its not filled up like I thought it would be , I personally think this sulphur spot treatment is only great for whiteheads , when I get hormonal breakouts on my jawline ( like cystic type of pimples) Benzyl peroxide is great for those type of pimples but sulphur doesn't do much for them , I wish they had this product at my local store but none of them carry it , I ordered it from Amazon for a great price and i will keep repurchasing it , this is the only spot treatment I know that is great to get rid of whiteheads , I recommend this product 100% ^.^

Concealers -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot Concealer
TaniitaTania 2/6/2013 1:06:00 AM
I actually really like this product , i was using maybelline's age rewind dark circle concealer and fell in love with that product , and when I heard this product coming out I was really excited to try it out , I have acne scars so it benefits me that this product contains Vitamin C , this product also covers acne scars very well and it does not break me out , I've read the ingredient list and it does not contain any pore clogging ingredients even tho it doesn't say its non-comedogenic which annoys me that it doesn't , love the texture of this product so silky and smooth , I use the color fair/light and it matches my skin great it doesn't have any pink or peachy undertones which is also great ,.,the only thing I don't like about this product is the Sponge , I hate it , i don't believe that its a anti micro sponge, especially that I'm acne prone I don't like to use unhygienic things so I removed it , I don't see how it benefits me , the sponge absorbs all the product any way , I just rather apply the product with a brush or my fingers , but either way its great product , I recommend it :)

Concealers -L'Oreal - True Match Super-Blendable Concealer
TaniitaTania 12/11/2012 8:48:00 PM
I really like this concealer , i have a few red marks on the sides of my cheek and it covers them , This concealer gives a Medium coverage but to me its build-able,. and i love the color range , it has warm tones!! i finally found a concealer that has warm tones , i was previously using Maybelline 24 hr superstay concealer it covers so well but the color ranged sucked , the lightest color ivory is to ghostly white the shade light has peachy undertones that does not match my skin ,and i only put concealer and powder so it was important to me to have a concealer that matched my skin tone perfectly , and i found it !! I'm Fair Light Warm of the true match concealer so glad i found this concealer , i have tried it under my eyes once (I use maybelline dream lumi under my eyes most of the time) and it does cover my dark circles well it kinda gives a brightening effect under the eyes i notice this concealer has a bit of shimmer which i don't hate or like but overall its a great product :)

Skincare - Body -Johnson & Johnson - Head to Toe baby wash
TaniitaTania 12/11/2012 3:27:00 PM
I really love this product is so versatile and cheap , i was using Purpose cleanser and it only lasted me 2 weeks , when i found out that the J&J head to toe wash was the same as the Purpose but cheaper and had more amount i had to try it , i was first a little hesitated because it doesn't claim to be a face wash even though it does have similar ingredients like the Purpose cleanser it has 4 more ingredients added that the Purpose doesn't have, I researched the 4 ingredients it had and i didn't like the sodium chloride or the sodium hydroxide but they were in lower list of the ingredients , I noticed the purpose cleanser cost more like 8 dollars in my local Walmart and for 6 fl oz , it used to cost 6 dollars ugh so that's how i switched to J&J baby wash i first tried the Equate version ,they work the same but the Equate has more fragrance and the J&J barely has fragrance ,i'm not really sensitive with fragrances but for some reason i like the J&J baby wash better then the equate, i find that this wash is way better then Purpose cleanser it gets rid of makeup very well and it last a long time ,it also doesn't strip the moisture on my skin it keeps it PH balance and it does not break me out which is great ,love this product and recommend it to everyone :)

Concealers -Maybelline - Dream Lumi Touch
TaniitaTania 12/4/2012 3:27:00 PM
Love this concealer !! I think its 2 in 1 it brightens the eye area and it also conceals ,it doesn't crease into my eyes and it covers my dark circles very well , i just wish they had more yellow under tones,most of the shades have pink under tones, the only one that has the yellow undertone is Ivory and i chose that shade ,its really light so i don't use it alone i use Garnier tinted roller eye concealer which has a light coverage and it matches my skin , love how both work so well for my undereyes ,i recommend it :)

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Vitex
TaniitaTania 10/17/2012 4:11:00 PM
Well i wanted to use vitex mainly because of pimples i get when i'm on my period ,.,i get little whiteheads on my cheeks most of the time but don't really get painful pimple just when i'm on my period i get like two or three pimple that get inflamed , i been lately having PMS i get those painful cramps and i just feel fatigue and i don't want to get up from bed so that was another reason i wanted to use vitex,.,.well i was reading reviews in another website about how Vitex makes you break out even more when you start to use it ,that depending on your hormonal levels vitex can make you acne better or worst! And even though i read the warnings i wanted to try it for my painful cramps,.,well i was using it for 12 days and i kept feeling cramps but i wasn't on my period , then i started to breakout on my jawline and the sides of my cheeks ,i got a cyst on the side on one cheek and 2 cyst on the other side of my cheek and also on my jaw ,.,UGH! i got so Mad because i really wanted this to completely get rid of my little whiteheads and when i breakout when i'm on my period , but it just made it worst ,i really don't have bad looking skin just that Vitex really broke me out bad i don't get cystic pimples at all on my cheeks or forehead so i completely stop using it ,.,i then started to drink this vitamin called Zinc Picolinate in the morning because it controls the hormone that is responsible for acne and oily skin and also if you have copper toxity you get PMS and Zinc lowers Copper so you don't get PMS i also drink this vitamin called Magnesium glycinate that's also good for the skin and for PMS ,,.good thing i researched this hopefully it helps ,.,but Overall don't use vitex if you don't know your hormonal levels, because messing with your horomones is not a good thing at all ,., now i have to deal with scarring on the side of my cheeks ugh that sucks -.-

TaniitaTania 10/10/2012 6:21:00 PM
Well i started using this last yr. and i bought the yellow concealer for red marks on my cheeks it worked so well but then i found out it gives me those little whiteheads ,it didn't look bad but i checked the ingredients and it has waxes ,maybe that was giving me little whiteheads and people kept telling me it looked cakey so i decided to just buy a good liquid concealer for the red marks,., I still purchase this product for my dark circles , it covers them so well and then i put the garnier roll cream concealer so it can blend with my skin . This product last a long time and i'ma keep repurchasing it :)

Concealers -Garnier - Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller
TaniitaTania 10/10/2012 6:12:00 PM
I actually like this concealer,., it makes me look really natural , so i don't use it alone because it is light coverage , so i use Neutrogena yellow stick concealer under my eyes but i don't put too much because it can look cakey then i apply the garniers concealer and it blends so well with my skin tone ,it gives this bright effect under your eyes so you look more awake ,.,this concealer can also work alone but i like having a little more coverage on my dark circles that's why i use it with the yellow concealer ,and it does last a long time ,overall i recommend this concealer :)

Toners -Unlisted Brand - Green Tea tea-bag toner
TaniitaTania 10/9/2012 10:23:00 PM
I love green tea , i remember since i started to drink green tea i didn't break out that much ,i stopped drinking it for like 5 months because i have braces and green tea actually stained my bottom teeth ,i mean when you have braces its a little harder to cleanse properly when you don't have braces and i had dental cleaning on my teeth so i was hesitated to drink the green tea ,but oh my gosh i think since when i stopped drinking it i have been breaking out more frequently soo i actually decided yesterday to start drinking it again , I also use it topical ,.,i use it as a toner with Apple cider vinegar and i have seen improvement in my complexion ,.,Overall i feel like green tea is great for the skin for the antioxidants and how it cleanses the body and how it reduces breakouts,.,i don't know how it does it, but it works! I recommend it :)

I use braggs apple cider vinegar on my aztec indian healing clay for a clay mask and i do notice it helps my skin tremendously,., i have oily acne prone skin but i'm glad my skin is getting better each yr.,. two yrs ago i had moderate acne ,last yr i had mild acne,., and this yr i have light acne,., i get those little whiteheads and gosh they are so stubborn to get rid off , i first heard of Apple Cider Vinegar in youtube and i also read positive reviews and i wanted to try it out ,.,i was a little hesitated to use ACV at first because i thought it was going to burn my skin but i got brave and used it on my clay mask , the clay mask work even better with the ACV , then i tried this home remedy natural skin toner where you buy this little spray bottle (you can buy any drugstore) and you put half Green tea and half ACV , spray it on your skin ,.,and it actually makes my skin really soft but i barley used it a couple of weeks ago but i have seen improvement on my red marks, also noticed my skin less oily which is awesome because the less oil the less breakouts .,even though the smell stinks you do get use to it . I Only Use it at Night ,.., Don't use it in the Morning because the ACV is acidic just like Lemon ,Lime ,or Orange and if you step out in the sun it will actually aggravate your acne even Worse! so please just use it at night , I feel like its helping me and i will keep updating to see if it helps me even more as the days go by , Overall i recommend this product :)

Masks -Clinique - Acne Solutions Oil Control Cleansing Mask
TaniitaTania 10/9/2012 7:10:00 PM
I bought this mask 2 yrs ago when i had moderate acne because i thought it will at least help me clear off some blemishes , to be honest i didn't see any difference on my skin , i was so annoyed that every time i bought something from Clinique i have my high hopes but i always get disappointed on there products, i used it for three weeks and no i didn't see a difference ,it was also an expensive clay mask ,.,.then my auntie recommend it Queen Helen mint julep mask and it helped my skin sooo much and it was really cheap , Now i just used 100% pure bentonite clay mask and it works way better then this clinique mask ,now i have light acne ,.who says buying expensive products is necessarily better ? Overall I don't recommend this product.

Treatments -Clinique - Anti Blemish Solution
TaniitaTania 10/9/2012 6:47:00 PM
This is the WORST product ever !! I started to get pimples when i was 16 yrs old,.,. i actually made my skin worst buy over cleansing my skin with acne products, see i never had acne to begin with , i created acne buy cleaning my skin to much ,in my mind i thought cleaning my skin more frequent will get rid of the pimples i have on my skin but actually it made me breakout more and my skin was dry and irritated,., that's when i found out over washing your skin is bad for acne ,i was desperate and sad so i checked on Cliniques website about the acne solutions and i really wanted to buy it , i thought this product was the one that will cure my problem ,I was WRONG!! i have oily skin and this thing dried my skin so bad especially the foam cleanser and when i put on the toner it made my skin really irritated , then i put the benzoyl peroxide lotion on my face and it felt like my skin was burning and it felt like i had a greasy residue , it made my skin 10 times worst and i got depress and i was crying because i felt like i wasn't myself anymore ,i didn't want to go to school and i actually missed days of school just because of my skin problem , i was sick and tired of these "acne products" that tell you that it will cure your skin and all it did was make your skin worse ,and i quit using all of it ,Just because it costs more doesn't mean it will work better ,., i started to wash my face with Chamomile Tea because my skin was really irritated, my skin cleared up quick when i started to use the chamomile tea and my friends also noticed , i weared less makeup too, then i started to research here on the internet about Acne and fill my mind with wisdom :) , If i can go back i would changed everything i did on my skin , i was horrible to my skin. I can stress this enough,., if you have acne on your skin DON'T use Harsh products it will only make it worse!! Don't believe that saying "that it will get worse before it gets better" its a complete Lie ,. the nicer you treat you skin the nicer your skin will look.,I learned my lesson ,., Now i treat my skin gentle , i try using natural products to clean my skin like greek yogurt, green tea , oatmeal and chamomile tea , and to get rid of my makeup i use a Gentle cleanser called Purpose cleanser , but i don't rub on my skin i touch it as gentle as possible, and for spot treatment i use Acne.org Benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, i also moisturizer my skin ,.,,eating healthy is also a big role for you skin eat fruits and veggies,. i also drink green tea ,chamomile tea and i drink fish oil pills and I drink a zinc supplement that is good for acne ,.,. and i had moderate acne when i was 16 , i had mild acne when i was 17 ,Now i have light acne and i'm 18 ,hopefully next yr i get clear skin :)

Moisturizers -Garnier - Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream
TaniitaTania 10/9/2012 3:58:00 PM
I remember i purchase this product 2 yrs ago and in that time i used this clinque 3 step system for acne (worst product ever) it dried my skin soo bad and made me breakout even more and i actually have oily skin and made my skin super dry , i desperately needed a moisturizer because i felt like my skin was yelling help and i purchase this product, so i heard gel moisturizers don't break you out like cream moisturizers , this product did hydrate my skin and i quit using the clinque 3 step system and my skin healed and looked more healthy, well i loved this moisturizer so much that i purchase it like 3 more times ,well later on i found out it made my skin more oily , and checked the ingredients and it had alcohol ,for oily skin types it makes your skin produce more oil and for dry skin types it really just drys out more your skin, One thing i hate about Garnier skin products is the heavy fragrances it contains , i mean the fragrances smell good but i just think skin products shouldn't have fragrances for lots of reasons ,they should just stick with those fragrances on their shampoos and conditioners Not skin products ! ,now i use Neutrogena combination skin moisturizer and it contains No fragrances and i fell like it hydrates my skin but doesn't look greasy Overall i quit using this product about a yr. ago.

Lip Treatments -eos - Lip Balm Sphere - Summer Fruit
TaniitaTania 10/8/2012 3:16:00 PM
Love this lip balm its organic , it moisturizes my dry chapped lips and it smells soo good :D it Cost a little more then chap sticks but of course organic will always cost more but i feel like its worth it i mean its your lips and the less chemicals you put on your lips ,the less chemicals you consume in your body , overall it won't cure dry and chap lips , i have always have dry lips but its because i usually don't moisturize them everyday which is important and i have this dumb habit of licking my lips so my lips could look less dry but it only makes my lips drier , and also when i brush my teeth toothpaste comes on my lips and toothepaste drys my lips so bad for some reason, now i use the eos lip balm after i brush my teeth and i don't have a problem with having dry lips any more like i use too , i think its a great product i will keep purchasing it :)
