Treatments -Mario Badescu - Drying Lotion
sweetcandies 3/9/2012 11:07:00 PM
I really wanted this to work because I've seen so many good reviews on blogs and sites. I bought mine on amazon, and I don't know if I got a "bad" one or something, because it seriously hasn't done anything for my acne. I do exactly what the instructions say and use a cotton swab and dip it to the bottom and put it on my acne and then leave it on overnight. But when I wake up...nothing happens, my pimple dosen't get smaller or anything...

Moisturizers -Weleda - Skin Food
sweetcandies 3/9/2012 11:04:00 PM
I just bought this because I wanted to see what all the hype was about, but I tried it and I don't like it at all. First off, I hate the smell, I'm not sure what smell it is, I think lavander or jasmine or something...whatever it is, I can't stand it...and second, the product doesn't spread well at all. You need at least 3 pea sized squeezes to spread on a normal sized area, like my stomach,(where I'm using it), and it does moisturize okay, but I've seen better moisturizers out there that can do the same job, without the smell and for a cheaper price.

Moisturizers -Cetaphil - Moisturizing Cream
sweetcandies 3/9/2012 10:57:00 PM
Love this product! I was recommended this by my dermatologist after I tried this terrible acne cream that left my skin burned and peeling..I literally could not even leave the house cause it was that bad. I was skeptical at first because I had already tried a bunch of moisturizers to try and soothe and moisturize my skin, but none seemed to help and all the moisturizers I tried had burned my skin since my skin was peeling. I then finally decided to give this a try and bought it. It wasn't that cheap, I think around $11 or so dollars? but it's a pretty big jar. Once I bought it, I immediately slapped some on my face to see if it could moisturize my dry skin, at first it didn't seem much different than the other moisturizers, but I just kept putting more and more on throughout the day whenever my skin felt dry again, and after just one night my skin was almost back to normal, plump and moisturized! I was soooo freaking happy, and now I love Cetaphil! But now since my face is healed, I don't use this on my face every night because it's a little too oily for my "already oily face" but I use it on my stomach where I have little dry patches and it really helps A LOT, better than any other creams I've tried. Anyways, I love this cream, and if you ever have any burns or experience something bad with your skin and you need to soothe or moisturize it, WITHOUT it burning, Definitely try this! It doesn't contain any extra ingredients that other moisturizers have that will Burn your skin, this is just a moisturizer that Moisturizes your skin and i lovee it! PS. the packaging is pretty bad, I lasts a long time, but I hate how you have to keep sticking your fingers and alkjfasdfgjl all the germs get in each time.. but i still love this cream.

Liquid -Make Up For Ever - Mat Velvet PLUS Matifying Foundation
sweetcandies 8/5/2011 6:35:00 PM
I really love this foundation! It's a little drying, and I have preeettty Oily skin. But it's okay because I've never had a foundation actually keep my face matte before! The color numbering runs sort of weird for me though. I use number 40, and I'm a 120 in HD and NC20-25 in MAC. I thought 40 would be too dark because I've seen a lot of youtubers use 40 and their skin is a lot darker than mine, but 40 seems to be just right on me. Wierd~ anyways, lovelove this foundation for my oily skin!(:

Blush -Milani - Smooth Finish Blush - Luminous
sweetcandies 7/8/2011 4:07:00 PM
This is my first blush I ever purchased, so I don't really know what to expect. But I was looking for something natural and simple so I tried this one because of the high rated comments! Overall I guess I was impressed, it gives a real natural pinkish finish.

Pressed Powders -Maybelline - Dream Matte Pressed Powder
sweetcandies 7/8/2011 4:01:00 PM
Probably my favorite drugstore brand powder! It's perfect for my oily skin and really adds a matte finish. The packaging is great and simple, but the little press sponge thing it comes with is absolutely useless. Will definitely be repurchasing!^^

Bronzers -Physicians Formula - Shimmer Strips - Custom Bronzer Blush and Eye Shadow
sweetcandies 7/8/2011 3:56:00 PM
Love the packaging sooo cool looking :D I also lovee this bronzer, I have it in the Waikiki color and it's perfect for my skin tone. It makes my face look more alive with just a brush on each side! Perfect for the summer and I love the shimmer! the only downside was the price, it was pretty expensive for a drugstore bronzer~definitely repurchase if I ever finish this one!

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Exact
sweetcandies 7/8/2011 3:51:00 PM
Love this mascara! It holds my eyelash curls for sooo long and I have super straight asian lashes. it's perfect for when you wear falsies and you just want to hold your eyelash curls, It doesn't give your eyelashes to much volume though, I usually use another mascara over this when applying to my bottom lashes. This is a good mascara base, makes them long and separated, but no volume

Misc Beauty Tools -Clean & Clear - Oil Absorbing Sheets
sweetcandies 7/8/2011 3:46:00 PM
I wanted to try this out because of all the good reviews I heard, so I went to CVS to buy it and I was sooo excited cause I have super oily skin and its summer! BUT I was extremely disappointing with this product, I tried using it one time when my face was getting oily and it totally took off all my foundation! AND it didn't even help with the oil that much, my face was oily again in less than 10 minutes. ALSO, the packaging could not be worse, I pulled one out and 5 came out along with it, and I couldn't even stuff them back in the packagingi cause the sheets just became crumpled and oily -____- I am never repurchasing this again, your better off with just applying a powder foundation to keep off the oil.

I've only been using this prodcut for 1 week & I've already seen results!!!:D I'm asian so my lashes are naturally short & straight. And since I am already using Careprost, I decided to try Mavala because then my lashes will become stronger! And can I say that my lashes have grown A LOT thickerk & stronger in just a week!! I'm just sooo excited that my eyelashes aren't soo short & fragile anymore. I mean before I would rub my eyes & half of my eyelashes would just fall right off! but now they stay!! I'm sooo happy!!! :D I'll update later!!:P

sweetcandies 8/4/2010 12:52:00 PM
Alright. So I just recieved my Careprost in the mail yesterday! & I am SOOO excited to try it out!! I'm kind of scared of the side effects though..BUT sooo excitedd! I'm asian so I have really short & straight lashes & I've just been dying for some real long & curly lashes!! I usually wear faslies almost everyday because I just hate my short lashes, & I really hope this product works for meee & then I would just be the happiest person on earthhh!!! :D Anyways, I'm using one/two drop in the bottle cap at night & sometimes one in the morning(hopefully I'll get faster results~) & nothing serious really happened yet. their is a slight dryness to my eye when I wake up but not really any reddening & I do notice a little bit of pinkness around my eye but I'm not sure if that was their before or not -.- Also how come A LOT of peope said that the brush was bad??o.o I think the eyeliner brush is GREAT!! It's like perfect, it makes the application so much easier!!I love it:D Oh! & I'm also using Mavala & I started using that around 1 week ago & I think it's really helping on making my lashes thicker & healthier so I really suggest you all to use this while you are using Careprost because Careprost might make your lashes longer but it doesn't mean they won't fall out!! So buy Mavala its pretty cheap too!! You have nothing to loose :D I'll update results later!! :P

Eyeliner -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Liner - Black
sweetcandies 7/27/2010 5:38:00 PM
This product is great for anyone that wants a dark liquid eyeliner to stay on their eyes for the whole day. It's also great for tightlining. I've been using this for a few years now & I just can't seem to try any other eyeliner. I've tried MAC fluidline & I still prefer this over MAC because this stays on my eyes & is very easy to apply. mac is just too complicated with the brush & everything & did I mention costs 5 times as much as this!!? Definitely my all time favorite liquid eyeliner!!
