Toners -L'Oreal - Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent
rinax 7/13/2006 1:57:00 AM
Okay, so I bought the whole set of this new reformulated pure zone with IsoBacter Technology by L'oreal (Deep Exfoliating Gel Wash, Pore Tightening & Clarifying Toner, Anti Imperfection Moisturiser) mostly because my face is crying for help due to my poor diet & skin regimes. I have combo skin (oil/normal but leaning towards oily). The brochure stated that 79% of people get smoother skin after using this products for only 15 days so i'm putting it to the test. But first here's my review for each item:
Deep Exfoliating Gel Wash
Wow, this stuff is really harsh! the first time i use it my face was all red, blotchy & breaking out. It makes my lips really drying after i wash my face. I only use it once a day due to its harshness. Instead of drying & shedding off the scars on my face(like my ex-cleanser) it kinda build a new layer on top of it making the scar somewhat apart of your skin. I don't know whether it will be temporary or permanent. You have to use moisturiser if u planning on using this or your skin will be taut, dry, red & blotchy. But I won't give up on this stuff so i continue to use it for 15 days. Overall for the gel wash i give a total of 2 lippies because it effectiveness removing oild, dirt & grime, and the fact that it keeps oil at bay. oh and if u ever get this stuff into your eyes, it hurt like hell & the irritation continues towards the end of the day!
Pore Tightening & Clarifying Toner
So i bought this and i was kinda shocked that you need to wash it off. yup, u read it right. u have to wash this toner off. It stated at the back, ' Apply daily on a wet face & gently massage. Avoid the delicate contour eye area . Rinse with clean water'. To all of you girls who review it who said the toner is too strong, give it a chance & try to rinse it off the next time you use it. :) When i use it after the cleanser the smell of the alcohol is kinda low since my face is wet & it maybe kinda dilute it. i gently massage it like the direction said and rinse it. i makes my skin really soft and smooth! i give this one 4 lippies because it makes my skin smooth to touch and it tighten my pores.
Anti-Imperfection Moisturiser
i really like it but it tend to be a bit oily on my face by the end of the day (but then, i do live in a hot/humid weather) .the downside probably is the fact that it zing when contact even to the eye area. this one is 3 lippies out of 5.
Surprising enough, after a mix review about this product, overall it's quite good. Miraculosly, after 15 days of using my skin did become smoother and radiant. it also reduce my menstrual acne at my chin. and this is the kind of skincare regime that won't allow you to pop that zit because of thick skin on top layer which in my case is very good. hope this helps someone! :) :)

first of all, i have a sensitive skin, teribble back acne, and lotsa cellulite. i've been using exfotonic for the longest time (this is my 3rd tub) and the result are great! it fades the acne scars at my shoulder, back and arm. it even out the skintone and 'cover' my cellulite making my skin look smooth and cellulite-free! luv luv luv. i use it twice a week. my skin never felt better! i usually bought it for USD$13 but there's this store that sell it for USD$3.50 each so i practically stock up and took all the tub avalaible. :P yup, selfish me. but wow, it doesn't irritate my skin at all. :) totally rec this to anyone! my HG!

Lips -Stila - Stila Holiday 2005 A Polished Affair Lip Polish Set
rinax 2/1/2006 7:11:00 AM
Stila A Polished Affair set contain 6 lip polish in tube with doefoot applicator. really great since there won't be any clicking pen involve. colors including sheen, glimmer, varnish, sparkle, brilliance and gloss. (sorry ladies, i'm pretty bad describing colors) i bought this after the SA said the l/glaze said it's OOS. i'm not going to deny but i think all the color look really blah and boring when i first bought it except for the LE color gloss that's peach with shimmer. just the most beautiful peach i've ever seen. turn out the all the colors are really great! they make your lips look like that's your real lip color eventhough they are ranging from different colors. really great for an au netural look, summer look with kissable lips, or even on top of a glamorous lip color for that extra ommph! the texture is barely sticky, unlike MAC. just luv luv luv it! i would definately rec this to everyone; the beginner and even to the pros. there are so many things can be achieve with this set. i just hope stila would come out with a more brighter, playful color.

Palettes -Stila - 2005 Must-Haves Set
rinax 7/29/2005 6:53:00 AM
wow, just receive this all the way from US and le me tell u, the package are gorgeous! this set contain a basic stuff which is superb for a makeup starter or people who love a hint of everything (like me).
the eyeshadow is basically deliver beautiful shimmers with hint of colors. the lighest shade do showed up on me but i'm a bit dissapoint with the peach one (which is my fav color when i first laid my eyes on the palette).it barely showed up on me. :( as for the other two, i haven't tried them on yet.
i think it's great for everyday wear IMHO and you can also deepening it to for evening wears. this is my first stila eye shadow and lipshine for me and from the reviews down there, i will probably try the normal stila e/s before i completely abandon them. as for the lipshine, nothing showed up if u wear it alone (or maybe it's because of my pigmented lip) but it leave you with this amazing glossy lips. (great to wear with matte l/s > sexy lips!) didn't try the mascara yet. sorry.
great starter kit for all people out there. people who is a makeup junkie probably won't bother with this item. great price because u get a lot of stuff too.
if u need to know anything else, do lmk and i will help u if i can. :)

awesome! FAB i tell ya! the best one i've ever tried beside anna sui's ooh la love. the smell r soo seXy and glamourous(suits the name eh?) i must disagree with some of the reviews down there. this fragrance is nothing at ALL like celine dion perfume. i have both and celine's is more on coey,musky like but ralph's is more intriguing and seducing. if u have the $$$, i really rec getting this one. it's pure heaven. can't stop smelling my wrist. ;) p/s: my friends and i go to this garage sale and this lady sell a BN RL body lotion(the 75ml one) for USD 25 cent!!! we went balistic and i quicky grab em. what a luck! get them if u can girls!! very worth $$$ p/s/s: love the bottle!! the diamond makes me feel so womenly and seducing at the same time! whoa!

Foundations -Maybelline - Clear Smooth Gel Foundation
rinax 2/21/2004 1:12:00 AM
OMG!!! this is the best foundation i've ever tried! have everything i need! oil-free, doesn't cake up, medium coverage and give a matte finish! it feels like u don't wear anything because it's lightweight. easy to blend. i wonder why they hate it. if u have a super duper oily skin wear a primer first(i use a drugstore primer called simple essential no shine gel) & the result is the awesome! 5 perfect lippie from me! and for $5 it's a steal and it come w a squueze tube so if u hate it just sanitize it and put it up for swap! =)

i got this OC-31(ochre) and it was simply amazing! tay matte all day long and great for no-m/u day! the puff is so 'puffy' and the blending is so easy peasy! totally recommended! the only drawback is the price.
