Lip Treatments -Victoria's Secret - PINK tinted lip balm - peace
xbeachparadise 12/28/2011 8:14:00 PM
I love these so much, peace is a great color its a nudey tan thats perfectly natural looking for everyday makeup however I really do not like the smell its hard to describe but its a bit like cheap flower/candy mixed with the smell of lipstick not sweet like candy but a bit waxy like a candle store either way the packaging is way too cute! its what made me fall in love with these when I first saw them, Im a sucker for cute packaging and cute shaped makeup *sigh*

Lips -Victoria's Secret - Pink tinted lip balm in Love
xbeachparadise 12/25/2011 6:58:00 PM
These are soo cute and if you're too young or too afraid to try lipstick which is usually highly pigmented, then these are great for you! They're not sheer they do show up on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of how much color shows up I would say its about a 6/7 but depends on how many swipes you put on, its definitely build-able. The packaging is so adorable with the little heart shaped center and the colored balm around it ( I couldn't find any other lip balm that looks as cute as this I searched EVERYWHERE), there is no taste it just tastes like a lipstick would taste, which isn't great but isnt terrible either. The smell isn't that great, I really wish it didnt have the scent it did, it just sort of smells like a cheap flower in my opinion but that didn't stop me from picking up all three! I have Peace, Love and Happy...Love is the brightest and it's a Barbie pink Color, Happy is a Peach color and Peace is a nude tan color which on some people just shows up as a very natural sparkly nude tint I think that these are discontinued in stores but there are still some floating around on ebay for around the original price if you really like them and want to snatch up a few before they're gone for good

Fragrances -Roxy - Love
xbeachparadise 11/13/2011 8:59:00 PM
So cute, smells fresh, not sugary or flowery at all, it definitely does smell like lime, I like it, for casual days when you just want to throw on any ol' perfume this is great and soo cute! I swear roxy was made for me lol I love all of their products, especially the jeans. But anyway if youre looking for something sweet like vanilla or flowery this isnt for you, this scent definitely isnt "warm" like someone else also said on here, its "cool" and very lime-y

Lotions/ Creams -Aveeno - Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion
xbeachparadise 4/26/2011 8:02:00 AM
Really nice skin lotion, good for extra dry skin during the winter and it's non greasy and dries and soaks in almost right away The smell has a hint of something medicine-like I wasn't too fond of it The bottle could be bigger but aveeno lotions are always medium height and stout I would recommend this to people with dry and itchy skin it works very well

I used to use this a lot a few years ago the scent was overly strong but the product worked well and didn't weigh down my hair, too pricey for the quality though, clairol colorseal gloss conditioner works muchhhh better

Polishes -Avon - Nailwear Nail Enamel
xbeachparadise 4/22/2011 6:28:00 PM
Pleasantly surprised I have this in grace which is a taupe tan color like iced coffee and I mixed it with a bit of french tip white to get a lighter color and its a nice neutral nail polish that is new new favorite however the tips of my nails did chip sooner than with other nail polishes and this polish is a bit runny and watery but after I mixed it with another nail polish it turned into a lovely colour

Liquid -Maybelline - Dream Liquid Mousse
xbeachparadise 4/22/2011 4:24:00 AM
GREAT foundation! I used this in shades 2.5 and 3, this used to be my HG before I moved on to more expensive foundation but this stuff is great I used it for 2+ yrs and I always got compliments on how amazing my skin looks because no one could tell I was wearing makeup, even when they were sitting right next to me, I would just put this over moisturizer and that's all, it has sheer to medium coverage, the coverage isn't "buildable" I wouldn't recommend this for people who are trying to cover up acne scars because I dont think this would work for that Dewey wet finish, unless you put powder over it which I never did so Im not sure about the interaction of this foundation with powder at the end of the day this foundation does get a little oily but not too bad and it just looked more natural anyway, this stuff is great for sensitive skin I experienced no break outs from this whatsoever and no irritation even though there have been a few times when I came home exhausted from school and fell asleep with this still on my face so I give this 4/5

Primer/ Corrector -Skindinavia - Makeup Finishing Spray
xbeachparadise 4/22/2011 4:16:00 AM
this stuff didn't work for me at all, it didn't do what it claimed and it made my skin feel extra dry and "pulled" I didn't see less creasing in my powder foundation and when I took off my makeup in the shower and put on lotion afterwards my face stung which usually doesn't happen I ended up throwing this out I was upset because it was such a waste of money

Treatments -Biore - Pore Cleansing Strips - Nose
xbeachparadise 4/21/2011 3:58:00 AM
love these!! been using them since they came out and you really have to get the hang of how to properly wet your face and the strip when you apply these otherwise when you rip the strip off the sticky side of the strip will stay almost glued on your face while the rest of the strip comes off so that no dirt or grime or anything gets removed so you just have to get the right technique for these they sell these strips in other brands and some of them have black strips which makes it easier to see the stuff that gets ripped out of your pores regardless these strips really work ! and theyre great for preventing pimples in your t zone because all of the dirt and grime doesn't clog your pores

Cleansers -Biore - Facial Cleansing Cloths
xbeachparadise 4/21/2011 3:54:00 AM
2 in one makeup remover and facial cleanser I really enjoy these, however I think they might be too harsh, as one of my friends pointed out that after using these and washing your face when you put on lotion or toner your face will sting a lot, but considering the fact that these can even remove eye makeup and mascaras the chemicals in this are obviously very strong but these are really great and simple and great for travel because they are so convenient although I couldn't find the ones with a case so I bought a box filled with two refill packs which had 30 sheets each

xbeachparadise 4/21/2011 12:30:00 AM
Floral scent, quite nice but not for me, its hard to do a review on a fragrance because there is only so many words you can use to describe afragrance but this is not for you if you prefer sweet sugar smells and this isnt citrusy its a floral scent that some people might like but not for me

LOVE the scent its quite sweet just like vanilla or marshmallows or sugar cookies this has been my favorite for over 1-2 years and every person I know who has tried it has fallen in love with it also The packaging is an elegant and simple clear glass bottle that comes in a nice wool pouch and gray and creme box I recommend this highly to everyone who loves sweet scents

Beautiful packaging! I love rainbow gradients and the bottle is so pretty the scent is floral and musky like definitely less on the sweet side and more on the flowery alcohol side I prefer marshmallow-y scents so this wasn't a hit for me but I really like the bottle even though I tried to unscrew the top to see if I could reuse the bottle when its empty but it seems its not reusable
