Nair Precision Face and Upper Lip Kit


Nair has never worked for me in the past and well, it doesn't work for me in the present. The smell is much improved. The applicator tip, lovely. I also love the rebalancing moisturizer for after. Yet it didn't do a thing for me. I'm guessing unless you're blond and peach fuzzy, this won't do the trick.

Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion

This SPF 20 lotion is intended to subdue the shine, but I tested it twice and saw zero glare reduction. I tried a humid day and a not-so-humid day, and different sides of my face (to see if my side-parted hair was a factor) but the results were the same. I also noticed that my pores looked a little worse for the expirement.

And so my quest for non-irritating, non-zit inducing, shine control continues...

Alcone Makeup Remover Cloths

These are great because they're individually wrapped. It's annoying when you buy makeup remover cloths in a big package and the remaining cloths dry out once you open the package. The cloth took off almost all of my makeup. It doesn't work on waterproof mascara but most removers don't anyway. Great for travelling and great for the lazy.

Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea Mask

This line of products is outstanding! This mask is a green brown and has the texture of a scrub. It doesn't dry tight and hard, which can be almost painful, especially when you giggle with it on. It has a nice invigorating aromatherapy scent as well. While applied the mask is soothing - not irritating at all. I left it on for about 10 minutes. My skin definitely feels softer. It's a keeper.

Pangea Organics Bar Soap Canadian Pine w/White Sage


Love the aromatherapy smell of this bar-like the other product I've tried from this company. Gritty, milky bar that leaves my skin quite soft. It's great for exfoliating, especially elbows if you ask me. Packaging is out of sight! Soaking the cardboard box right now. Will plant it as it suggests on the outer packaging and within 2 weeks, there will be germination of a spruce tree. They are so environmentally conscious. Stop it!

Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Beauty Balm in True Rosy Blush


I have literally thrown away my other blush stick. This one is amazing. It's smooth, creamy and dewy. It makes my cheeks feel hydrated too. A little goes a long way so I just dab a bit on my cheeks and I've got a healthy glow about me. I also put a bit on my lips for a hint of lip color
