Product Review

Sally Hansen Microwaveable Eyebrow, Face & Lip Wax does the job well! I have been using this stuff for years now and even after I try to switch up my wax and get the latest “more promising” product, I always come back to this one.

It’s inexpensive and VERY simple to use, you don’t even need strips! All you do is heat the small jar in the microwave for a minute or until the wax starts to melt (just be careful not to over heat it and burn your skin, ouch!) and with the spatula, just apply the wax. Once the wax dries you pull off the wax, well the complete instructions do come in the box so just read them before you use this product.

Anyways, I pluck my eyebrows. I don’t trust myself to wax them correctly so I only use this wax to remove those ugly little hairs above my lips. Seriously, I’m embarrassed to admit that I do have some facial hair. But as a  light skin woman with dark hair I guess some facial hair is expected. Grrrrr.

Okay, so back to the review. I love this wax and it does a really good job at removing most of my facial hair in one try and the few hairs that it doesn’t get, I simply use the miniature tweezers that are included.

Maybelline Great Lash Curved Brush Washable Mascara ($4.99) This mascara conditions as it thickens.

  • Lash-Doubling Formula glides on smooth to build great-looking, smudge-proof lashes.
  • Custom curved brush lifts and curls each lash
  • Washable; also available in waterproof formula and washable without curved brush.

For best results:

Apply mascara from your outer lash to inner lash, sweeping brush slowly from root to tip. Do not let dry between coats. Removes easily with Maybelline Expert Eyes 100% Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover.

In a nutshell:
It doesn’t clump.  It doesn’t dry out my lashes and it doesn’t make lashes look spidery.  The curved brush does give lashes a little lift but nothing too noticeable.  It’s more of a natural effect. Also, after a few hours of wearing this mascara, I had black smudges under my eyes.

Overall, this is an okay mascara but it is definitely NOT the best. This product being Americas #1 mascara, I guess I was expecting something amazing and extra dramatic and not something so natural and subtle.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser, For Normal to Oily Skin, cleans so deeply and thoroughly that it improves the look and feel of skin. Skin is left clean – with no pore-clogging residue. Your complexion looks fresh and healthy; feels smooth and soft from deeper, more thorough cleansing.
This effective face wash contains a hydroxy acid which penetrates deep into pores, dissolving dirt, oil and make-up. It also removes dead surface skin cells that can dry, roughen and dull your complexion. Softer, fresher skin will emerge.

How To Use Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser:

Simple. :) Wet face, pump into hands and work into lather. Massage face gently, avoiding contact with the delicate eye area. Rinse thoroughly. If you experience dryness or irritation, use less frequently.
As part of any good skincare regimen, Neutrogena recommends daily use of SPF 15 sunscreen to protect your skin during the day.

PROS: Face is clean, smooth and radiant after washing it with this cleanser. It’s Oil-free,  Alcohol-free and has a pleasant smell.

CONS: Skin feels dry and tight.  NOT for all skin types.

You might like this if: You have EXTREMELY oily skin.

Overall: I bought this facial cleanser to use as a daily face wash but after having had used it a few times now, I will only use it to clean my face every other day. I have normal skin and this stuff was definitely too harsh for me.  Every time that I used it, I had to apply tons of moisturizer to my face to relieve it from the dryness and tightening effect left behind by this cleanser.  I will keep using a cold cream or a different facial cleanser for daily use.

However, Neutrogena Deep Clean does leave your face  soft and extra clean.  It also made the appearance of my skin look more vibrant.  It has a fresh clean scent.  I also liked the convenience of the pump.

I can’t give a negative review on this product based on it making my skin feel dry, because it’s not like Neutrogena doesn’t warn you that this face wash might be too harsh for some skin types.

Anyways, I don’t recommend this face wash for everyday use, it’s too drying.  Instead, use it every other day if you want or need to deep clean your skin or if you have oily skin, this face wash is worth trying.


So, have you used this face wash before?  What did you think about it?

Ugh! The name I wanted for my online business is taken! I did come up with a few backup names but now, I have no idea which of the three names to choose. **Sigh.
I have three sisters and I asked each one of them what name they liked best and guess what?  They each liked a different name!  Lol.  I guess my mini poll was pointless.

Anyways, I went to CVS last night and I picked up a couple of goodies.  Hahaha!  My hubby was like, “do you really need more makeup?”  I was like, “YES!”

My CVS mini haul consists of a Milani Mineral Blush in mai tai and a Milani nail polish in creme brulee.

Oh, mommy like!

The color of this blush is a peachy pink.



I LOVE this shade of nail polish (creme brulee)!  Makes me feel like I just got a manicure.

The Website says: A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C eye shadows and liners.


Okay my lovelies, now on to the review:

This paint pot DOES hold up to all of its claims.  It really is a creamy and long lasting product!   And it comes in nine different shades for you to choose from.   The colors range from your typical beige hues to lovely browns and black-gray.

MAC’s paint pots are cream eye shadows but can be used as a base for your eye shadows.

I currently use MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.  I really like this shade, it’s a yellow beige that almost disappears against my skin and I just LOVE useing it as an eyeshadow base.

(For the picture below, I used MAC’s eyeshadow in Pink Venus.)

Eye shadows apply easily and beautifully over MAC’s Paint Pots.  It makes all of your eye shadows last all day.  Trust me, at the end of the day, your eye makeup will look exactly like it did when you first applied it!  Plus it works great with any brand of eyeshadow.

Overall, I DO reccomend MAC’s Paint Pots.  They’re absolutely AMAZING!
