[REVIEW] The Kissest Plumping Tinted Lip Crayon by Banila Co.

~
So far, I am loving this lip product that I got a few months ago! I usually don't do lip product reviews but this is an exception!1!

I bought this from SASA.com for about $15? I think. Or maybe $10? Not too sure. But I got the 10-Acid peach. AND I AM LOVING IT. I alternate between this and my revlon matte balm (another beautiful product)

TEXTURE: Smoothly glides onto the lips!
LONGEVITY: Lasted for 3 hours had to reapply afterwards.
COLOR: 10 - Acid peach. The color became faint after an hour.
SCENT: Nothing special
REPURCHASE: Maybe going to try out other colors but as of now it's too $$$.
PRICE: $$



Since I had time I created a video for this product. I probably will do that for future reviews (maybe).

[ REVIEW ] MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer and Dermablend Quick Fix Concealer Stick


I got this concealer at THE BAY for about  CAD 27.00 (including tax)-- I know it's more expensive than buying it at a local MAC store -.-' but that store didnt have my shade so I just went to the bay.
I am an NC25.
P.S. This is my third bottle.

Ignore my nails ^^



It is in a glass bottle and I remember getting my very first bottle and I accidentally dropped it--SO IT BROKE. --IT IS VERY FRAGILE-- (I was so devastated because damn that was like $25)--

So this is ONE PUMP. I know it is a lot. The thing is, you cannot really control the amount of product once you pump it b/c that's how the packaging is--yes it is crap. (hate it)

And this is when I spread/dab it. 

the pump thingy--it's messed up b/c crappy packaging.


EFFECTS/CLAIMS:

As you may have already read, this is my THIRD bottle. Yep. That says something. I AM INLOVE WITH THIS BABY!!!--Holy Grail concealer-- I mean IT DOES NOT cover up everything but it covers up 95% of my acne --may it be active or not (hyperpigmentations) and dang, it does stay on for A WHILE (With a good primer and setting powder of course)--THE BEST IS THAT IT DOES NOT BREAK ME OUT LIKE HOLY SHIZ THAT'S SUPER RARE! 

I do not really use it for my under eyes because it DOES crease like crazy lol. --great for covering blemishes--I not recommend it for under eyes tho. 

RATING: 9/10 (b/c the pump thingy is C-R-A-P) 



DERMABLEND  Quick Fix Concealer Stick





 I got this on Nailpolishcanada
Got it for $27.00 LOL DANG-bye money. I got this in beige.
I wanted to try it out and see if the hype~and rave~ about this product is worth it....
Shipping was fast btw.




 
The main ingredient of this thing is titanium oxide for SPF. Also, Mineral oil, and talc.
I completely forgot that my skin freaking reacts HORRIBLY to talc and mineral oil....SO YEP. BAD IDEA.

As you can see, it's just a typical concealer stick. Nothing TOO exciting about it AT ALL.


After a dabbing it


 EFFECTS/CLAIMS

So I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO USE IT b/c of all the reviews I have seen...
So first time: it was really oily right when I applied it then after a few hours IT CREASED-IT made my face look so dry! and I know my skin is downright oily. I had everything right--primer-concealer-foundation-setting powder. YET, it just did not work out.

I am almost done the stick and then THERE I realized, yep, it is breaking me out. Haha, it gave me TONS of new cystic pimples. I was SO SO SO disappointed...

I guess it's just not right for my skin. Don't understand the hype for the dermablend line.

RATING: 2/10



 MAC Pro Longwear concealer ALL THE EFFING WAY.

Ciracle Anti-Blemish Teatree Wash Review

I have mentioned this cleanser in one of my previous posts and I did say that I will make a detailed review about it.

I have been consistently using this cleanser for about 5-6 months and I can say that it did work out for my skin. Since Ive started using this I noticed a drastic change in the dryness of my face--it became less dry. ( I have combination skin so I have several dry spots but my face is generally oily). I did notice that it makes my face oilier than usual BUT it really did moisturize my skin. It also minimized my cystic breakouts! (I was using this cleanser along with Retin A Micro 0.04)

Now I got this cleanser since september and the weather was not humid or hot, since it was fall. So im not sure how this will work out during the summer but I am really curious as to how

The smell is not bad at all I mean it kind of smells like the cetaphil facial cleanser.
DETAILED INFO AT WISHTREND
I did NOT buy nor get this from wishtrend I bought it from a local EBAY SELLER which was about CAN $25.59.
I do admit that it is not the cheapest product out there but yoh it goes well with my stubborn skin which is rare. But then again, its either a hit or miss since everyone's skin is different. AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE REPURCHASED THIS BABY TELLS A LOT.

I have also discontinued using Retin A Micro since it dries out my skin-but it has also worked out for me. Although I found a new holy grail that has been helping keep my acne at bay.

[UPDATE NOVEMBER 7, 2014:]
I have used up 2 full bottles of this product and I'm currently on my 3rd bottle. I stopped using this cleanser for 5 months bc I wanted to try out others. I went back to it though--HOWEVER, I don't use this everyday bc I noticed that it's now making my face oilier than usual--thus breaking out more. I use this as makeup remover cleanser kind of wash along with the sephora face cleansing brush thing.
