Live Clean: Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo Review

Hi everyone! I thought I'd take a quick break from studying and give myself a lovely facial (currently looking like a mint green monster with my face mask) and write up a small review on the latest thing I've been loving :). I've been needing a clarifying shampoo for quite some time now and decided to give Live Clean's Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo a try. I wasn't too impressed with their Argan Oil but had heard good things...

Bioderma Sensibio AR (Anti-Redness Cream)

I've been really enjoying using the Bioderma H20 Cleanser (which I reviewed here) and so I eagerly went out to try another product by Bioderma. I was in need of a new moisturizer and this one caught my interest the most. There are very few reviews on it online so hopefully this one will help! This cream is perfect for anyone who suffers from Rosacea (a skin condition that is characterized by redness on the face). My main affected areas...

They're Real vs. The Falsies (review)

Every beautyjunkie on Youtube or through blogposts will have mentioned these mascaras multiple times throughout the year. They can easily be labeled as the most raved about mascaras in 2012. However, I've decided to review them side by side for those who cannot make up their mind on which to go out and purchase :). I'll start off with The Falsies by Maybelline: Pros:  Lengthening  Thickening Budget friendly (I got...

Clinique Review: Rinse-Off Eye Makeup & Clarifying Lotion

So I had recently received these two products in my January Topbox and was curious enough to give them a try. I've been put off by Clinique products ever since I had a reaction to their All About Eyes cream. I have never particularly considered myself as someone with sensitive skin, mainly because I never have reactions to skin-care products. However, Clinique is making me rethink that... Let's start off with the Clarifying Lotion....

Topbox January 2013

This month's Topbox is very different from the rest, mainly because it's not actually a normal Topbox. January is featuring their new line of "Prive" boxes. The difference is that with the Prive box you receive samples from only one well-known brand instead of several different ones. Everyone received the same prive box this month but for the upcoming months you will be able to decide whether you want a Prive box or just a normal Topbox. This...

2012 Favorites!

I know I'm really really late to post this, but I still felt the need to do so :). There are loads of products I have been loving during the past couple months, but I decided to only include the things I consistently used all year round. 1. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette: I saw this amongst many 2012 favorites and had to include it in my own. It's my go-to palette and is perfect in creating every day looks and even some...

Lush Bath Bomb - Cinders: AVOID

Whenever I come home from work and feel really sore, I always love to relax with a nice hot bath, preferably with a bath bomb. I love the scent and how moisturized my skin tends to feel after using one. A few weeks ago, I decided to finally use my Cinders bath bomb by Lush. I had been saving it to use around Christmas time since it's a very festive smelling bath bomb. However, what was suppose to be a relaxing evening turned into a stressful...

Sleek Haul!!!

This whole package of goodies arrived only one day before Christmas (2 weeks earlier than I thought it would!) and I've been waiting to share it all with you :). I had heard loads of good things about Sleek, especially their eyeshadows - they have been known to be compared to MAC eyeshadows. Essentially they're claimed to be amazing quality but for very little money! I ended up purchasing 3 eyeshadow palettes and 2 blushes. I'll start...

New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year! С Новым Годом! Frohes neues Jahr!  I was planning on posting another review for all of you today, but instead decided to make a more personal post :). It's officially 2013 and I want to make the best of it. I have come up with a list of resolutions that should help me. I do find resolutions hard to stick to, but I feel they are positive influences and help guide us in achieving our goals in life :). 1....

First Aid Beauty - Ultra Repair Concentrate

Happy New Years everyone! I am officially starting off 2013 with a glowing review on First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Concentrate. I've been wanting to review this product for ages now since it's been a life saver for me during this winter. I was having a problem with a really bad dry patch of skin, specifically my nose and cheeks. No matter how much moisturizer I used, my skin remained dry and just continued to flake. I tried...
