Quite proud of myself this month, as lots of things were finished. I also attended a bit of a Canadian Beauty Blogger swapity swap and picked up a number of things to congratulate myself for doing so well in the month of April.
Here's my rating scale:
(>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ // worthy of dance party (repurchase)
^u^ ^u^ // pretty great (maybe repurchase)
-_- // indifference (will not repurchase)
The Graydon Clinical Luxury By Nature Green Cream* ^u^ ^u^contains broccoli seed oil and a few recognizable but currently unnamable kitchen herbs that make it smell like a pakora (Indian fritter). The cream was lightweight, fairly hydrating and sank into the skin quickly. The Province Apothecary Moisturizer* ^u^ ^u^smelled very natural but was also quite light and made my skin feel nice and soft. I really liked the Graydon Clinical Luxury Body Oil* (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ , as well as the Fresh Seaberry Face Oil (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ . The Laura Mercier Foudation Primer -_-and the Kahina Giving Beauty Night Cream -_-smelled a bit off when I opened them so I wasn't paying attention to how they worked. The Philosophy perfume in Loveswept -_-was nice but a little to sweet for my liking. The Crest white strips* ^u^ ^u^only cover the front of my mouth, so my back teeth aren't quite as whitened.
The Besame Sweetheart Balm in Sweet Rose* (discontinued) was super duper thick and moisturizing. The Sweet Rose an off-white with a fine lavender iridescence. Sheer white gloss on the lips is not particularly flattering during any time of the day, so I put it on every night before bed. The Tata Harper Be Adored Lip Treatment* (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ was an absolute treat! So moisturizing, smooths over lip lines and leaves a sheer red tint. The Murale Skin Perfecting Lotion* ^u^ ^u^ was a nice lightweight daytime moisturizer. I really, really liked the scent of the Miracle 10 Light Serum*(>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ . I used it morning and night and it always left my skin feeling plump. Also, it's light enough that you can mix it with other heavier oils and serums. I'm finally saying goodbye to the Biotherm Aquasource BB Cream* (>'-')> <('-'<) ^(' - ')^ , which I wore for a majority of the last 4 months. The sheer base evens rather than covers, perfect for no-makeup days!
I burned The Body Shop Candle in Cranberry (discontinued) because I wanted to use the container for my mini makeup brushes. I've had it for a few years so the candle had lost its scent. I'm not a candle-crazed blogger... The Sapien Women Shower Gel* -_- was so-so. I found it didn't lather well but it smelled of tutti fruity!
Not going to babble on about mascaras but here's a little rundown (click the product text for some full reviews).
^u^ ^u^ - CoverGirl Full Lash Bloom*, Rimmel Wonder Lash*, Kat Von D Immortal Lash*, Hard Candy Lashaholic*, Revlon Bold Lacquer*
The Veet Hair Removal Cream -_- smells like pure, toxic chemicals. It also made my eyes and legs sting and may or may not be 3+ years old. I haven't used it in a while... The Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration* -_- and Wet n Wild Eyeliner in Purple -_- are so-so products but also 3+ years old. The Body Shop Blush in Desert Rose (discontinued) was one of those things I stole from my mom's vanity. It's AMAZING but I know it's more than 5 years old and probably housing some serious bacteria. The Artifact Mask in Bali Papaya Rice ^u^ ^u^went mouldy before I was able to review it (likely from storing it in my bathroom - I would suggest keeping it in the fridge) but it smelled beautiful and was a lovely mask for light chemical and physical exfoliation. I used the Hard Candy All Lid Up in Lady Like* -_- a couple times but dried up soon after and was thus, unusable.
