Masks -Clarins - Gentle Facial Peeling Mask
candicore 12/27/2005 2:09:00 PM
Um, I swear this is an EXFOLIATE not a mask!
I'm really suprised by the negative reviews as I think this stuff is great!I'm 19, and this is a great product for 'young skin’, as it tends to be more sensitive and needs gentle products to care for it! I love the overall concept and techniques used in applying this exfoliate. I follow it up with Clarins HYDRA-CARE MASK, and after my skin feels and looks really smooth and radiant!!!!!

Masks -Clarins - Thirst Quenching Hydra - Balance Mask
candicore 12/27/2005 1:55:00 PM
I apply this to help hydrate and re-balance my skin after exfoliating my face with clarins gentle facial peel. I do not find this mask discomforting in any way! I remove this with cotton wool soaked in their toning lotion for dry/normal skin, and my skin feels uber-soft,smooth and restored.

Moisturizers -Clarins - Gentle Day Lotion
candicore 12/27/2005 1:46:00 PM
I am using this in conjunction with Clarins gentle foaming wash (dry/sensitive) and normal/dry toning lotion. I have combination acne-prone sensitive skin, so the sales lady recommended I use this instead of the day cream, abecause of its lighter texture. This stuff hydrates my skin well, without making my t-zone too oily (I use clarins instant shine control gel as well). It has helped even my skin tone, and reduces blemishes effectively! In fact, ever since I started using clarins products my acne has subsided, and my skin texture and tone has improved greatly!
Unfortunately, I was told by a Clarins SA that this product will be discounted soon. But do not fear! I got samples of the Gentle Day Cream, and it works just as good... I didn't find it too heavy for my skin or anything!!!

Treatments -Clarins - Instant Shine Control Gel
candicore 12/19/2005 4:20:00 PM
Another great product from Clarins!
This product claims to instantly minimise skin shine, smooth and even the skin in just one application.
And I am writing this review to verify that it does just that!
This stuff is great, I don't need to bother with blotting papers anymore, and the matte appearance really does last a long time.
I seriously love Clarins products as they really do what they claim!!!!

Treatments -Clarins - Thirst Quenching Hydra-Balance Serum
candicore 12/19/2005 4:10:00 PM
I have combination/oily, acne-prone sensitive skin. I stole this from my mum, as my skin was rather dry and uncomfortable from using acne products. As soon as I put this on, I noticed my complexion brighten and my skin appear more smooth and hydrated! This definitely does what it’s supposed to. Didn't irritate my skin and wasn't too greasy or anything!

Mascara -Rimmel - Volume Flash
candicore 12/15/2005 3:39:00 PM
I rather like this product. I found it not too clumpy or thin. It gave great definition to my already long lashes nicely. However, it is rather hard to take off and leaves me with panda eyes! Overall a nice product that I wouldn't mind buying again!

Toners -L'Oreal - Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent

It burns... It burns I tell you! Oh btw, if any of you girls are experiencing a tingling or burning sensation when applying any of the purezone or infact any alcohol based product, it means it’s damaging your skin!!!

Skincare - Face -L'Oreal - Pure Zone Anti Regreasing Moisturiser
candicore 11/22/2005 11:59:00 AM
Beware; this stuff has some sort skin whitening/bleaching effect! When I applied it, I noticed ashy white patches on my face, and this was even when I did blend it into my skin! That's just dodgy in my opnion. My face looked lighter, but not in a nice way! I also don’t like the finish of this product!
2 lippies because it does moisturize pretty good for a product with alcohol!

Scrubs -L'Oreal - Pure Zone Deep Exfoliating Gel Wash
candicore 11/22/2005 11:40:00 AM
This product is way too harsh; seriously there is no need for them to make such a ruthless product, especially when considering young skin! There is no way this stuff is healthy for anyone’s skin, no matter how bad acne you have.
The packaging also sucks; I hate the way the product just literally spills out of the tube and goes everywhere! Ugh!
I gave it 1 lippies because it does remove oil and grime rather well (only because it's so bloody strong), but I will not be using this again!

Moisturizers -Nivea - Visage Young - Control It gel-cream
candicore 10/28/2005 7:33:00 AM
This reminds me of Evian's oxygenating gel-cream moisturiser, but minus the breakouts! I love the finish off this product. Compared to other oil-free moisturises I have tried, it leaves a lovely velvety matte finish which doesn’t make my skin appear dull and flat looking. It hydrates my skin well leaving it feeling really smooth and soft for the day, and it controls EXCESS oil on my face pretty good.
UPDATE: I have stopped using this along with the whole of the nivea young range. All their products made me break out really bad, and clogged my pores leaving me with oily skin and blackheads!!!

Toners -Nivea - Nivea Young Frehen Up toner
candicore 10/28/2005 7:20:00 AM
I have sensitive oily acne-prone skin. This is alcohol free so it doesn't have that awful scent and horrid tight feeling you experience from other toners with alcohol content. Leaves me skin feeling invigorated and smooth and most importantly hasn't caused any breakouts!
UPDATE: I have stopped using this along with the whole of the nivea young range. All their products made me break out really bad, and clogged my pores leaving me with oily skin and blackheads!!!

Cleansers -Nivea - Visage Young - Wash Off Cleansing Gel
candicore 10/28/2005 7:15:00 AM
I have sensitive oily acne-prone skin. I really like this product. I love the fact it doesn't foam too much but cleans effectively well! I don't wear make-up so I can’t say if it would work well for removing any... Its oil free and alcohol free, so it doesn't clog my pores or dry out my skin. The ocean blue colour and scent of this stuff is likeable too. I love this range from Nivea!

Scrubs -St. Ives - Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control
candicore 10/26/2005 3:58:00 PM
I first started using this stuff DAILY for a week and this product did deliver what it promised - Healthier glowing skin in just 7 days! Now I just use it twice a week. Before using this, my skin looked dull and rough in natural light and my cheeks felt rough and dry. This scrub makes my skin feel sooo soft and smooth; it faded scarring from past blemishes and has helped even my skin tone and texture dramatically! My skin just looks healthy and glows now!! UPDATE: I stopped using this completely now. I think its too rough to use on my sensitive skin. Also, I think I was begining to get blackheads from this stuff!

Liquid -L'Oreal - True Match Super-Blendable Makeup SPF 17
candicore 10/8/2005 10:45:00 AM
The color selection isnt at all bad for a drugstore foundation! I found a nice yellow shade in Amber(N7). The coverage is light-medium and thats about all you can get from it. This stuff does blend well (without caking) and leaves a gorgeous radiant glow to the face, however once it settles it starts to look greasy and orange!!! Also I noticed it made my skin feel rather dry and rough. Sorry but I wont be buying this again...

This stuff is just horrible! Dried out my poor gorgeous face and stings like a m****f@!@@!... def will not be buying again! I nearly choked on the pungent fumes it inherited from those over rated "Johnson & Johnson" unapparent skincare specialists! What a joke
