Improved Acne!, Nature Garden Cleansing Bar - Firming Tomato, and St. Ives Green Tea Natrually Clear Cleanser

Last week... I went vegetarian! I wasnt even thinking about my acne at the time. But, I did it for just a week... (I like chicken :)) But my acne did clean up really well! I couldnt really eat much fast food because most of it has meat! Which is good. To keep away from the grease and all. I ended up eating lots of salmon and salad. Romaine and Spinach (Iceburg has no nutritional value) Salmon and the omega 3's yumm lol. I always liked salmon. Oooh. I tried this salmon called- okay... back to the subject. So, I did have some products to review! These are two that work really good! Thanks to Mika! and Lenna! Mika for the soap and Lenna for discovering trial sized st. Ives things!!

Nature Garden Cleansing Bar - Firming Tomato
FIRST THINGS FIRST! WHERN YOU GET THIS IN YOUR EYES, this soap stings like a... a... you know. It feels like your being blinded. Totally dries out your eyes. But im sure everyone else out there can use big girl soap fine. It makes your face feel squeakkkky clean! and it helps clear up acne. My friend gave me a third of a bar and it lasts pretty long. It smells like rice and flowers! But doesnt leave a smell.

Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Multisized Hot Rollers


Okay, so, I kind of like stole these from my moms bathroom since she doesnt use them much... :) They come with 20 rollers and 20 clips which are heated in the... idk what theyre called so ima call it a "heating bay" xDD so, yeah... the rollers get really hot and ive burned my fingers a few times. But, I usually use these after i towel dry my hair after i shower. I heard to put in hot rollers after u shower from this lady from fantastic sams. O.o (But i didnt like the way she cut my hair) Well, you put your hair into the little slot and roll upwards! I have trouble rolling it sometimes and getting the clip to stay.I dont advise using this on dry hair, at least moisten it a little. It makes your hair look really burnt if you put it on dry hair. Well, for me. The curlers are fuzzy :DD lolz My hair is thick and has layers so, I have to go layer by layer. I wish there were more curlers.





This has a pretty good heat up time, just as the box says. Theres like a few with dots on the top that turn white when it heats up or red... gr, i forgot. im pretty sure its white. The thing only holds threee clips at a time and thats a bother having to keep replacing them... So, After i have al of them in (try to do this quickly), wait 20 minutes and either shake them out and brush it out for a sexy messy look or let them out slowly for curly curly curls. and spray with hairspray or scrunch with gel. Well, thats what i reccommend.


GOSH ITS 2:15 am where i live. O.O and I went to the beach today and spent time with 6 year olds. But i pretty much just sat there hahaha. But the beach makes me tired anyway. WAT AM I STILL DOING AWAKE!??!?!

e.l.f. Regular, Waterproof and Clear Mascara





ohkayyy helllo!:D hehe. this post will suck... im in a hurry sorry
Well i got this just to try it...

Waterproof mascara yaay... So, first thing I noticed was that it was really thick (the waterproof one) realllllllly thick! and clumpy looking. When you put it on, its not as clumpy as it looks. But you will get clumps close to the lashline -_-... So, yeah its good... waterproof... but when it does get exposed to eye rubbing, it comes off. Not streaming down your face (yay) but in dry clumps. Like hmmmm like super tiny clay. okay well, the brush.. looks terrible.

Now about the regular one... I didnt dare wear this to go swimming so i put it on and splashed water on my face a couple of times. It comes off just the same as the water proof kind.  Its less clumpy and less thick.  lookkkk! IT LOOKS WAAY BETTER. this one works really well.


after these dry, i put a layer of clear on it.... uh yeah.... i like the clear one. alot! this is the eyelash one on your left. and the eyebrow one is on the right yepp.haha ok

Noevir Hand and Body Treatment

Noevir Hand and Body Treatment

My moms friend gave her this cream and well... I just had to try it. I had no idea how expensive it was or what it exactly did though. I put it on my elbows x) because i have dry elbows. So, the next day when I woke up, my elbows were like reaallly soft! I didnt think it was gonna work overnight or anything... Its got a really thick consistency and you dont have to use much. Its fragrance free. It kind of leaves a sticky feeling, but that goes away in time.

Price:: 2.47oz. for $24.00

its kind of expensive O.o

How to Use: smooth onto dry areas such as hands elbows and/or knees

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream

This is a new product from Garnier's Moisture Rescue Line. I thought it was a really cool color so... lol x] I applied this just a little while ago, after a shower... and the product claims to offer 24 hours of refreshing moisture, to lock in moisture, and its oil-free. Its a gel and I thought that was really cool.
So basically, you just put it on your skin to moisturize it.

This is what they put on the website:
Instantly: skin looks and feels supple, smooth. Stays hydrated for 24 hours.
In 1 hour: skin's moisture barrier is strengthened to prevent dryness.
With Regular Use: continuously moisturized, skin is strengthened and looks healthier.

At first when you apply it it does feel very refreshing! You dont have to use much because if you use too much, itll get sticky. But dont worry it dries Your skin will feel really soft and smooth after and super soft! haha... The refreshing feeling goes away though :( Its lightweight and I dont see or feel any residue or film. This is worth it for the money because its not as expensive as Clinique's and other brands.  It smells like aloe gel, like after  sunburn but it may become too overpowering if you put too much (duh x))

Price:: 1.7 oz for $7.99 or under

I also found a coupon in allure magazine. So look for that and try the sample. :D Thanx for reading!

e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler, Zit Zapper, and Albolene

e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler, Zit Zapper, and Albolene

Hi people who read this! And thanks so much for doing that!
So, school has started for me, and Ive been very busy. Today I went to ittle Tokyo for Nisei Week! :) SO im going to talk about three products today! Gosh, its almost midnight...  But nevvermind that!

I LOVE this eyelash curler. It works really well! I didnt really expect it to work that nicely... This curler uses spongy pads to curl your lashes. You can definitely see a difference after. My favorite part about this is the rest for your ring finger x) i really dont know why... 
It comes with one mechanical curler and two spongy pads. I guess to switch out when one of them gets old.

Rating:: 5 out of 5
Price:: $1.00 :D



okay, this is the e.l.f. Zit Zapper. This also impressed me. I didnt think itd work at all. The packaging is small so its portable. This reminds me of the Clearasil one... I really dont remember what its called, but your supposed to put it when you feel a zit coming. So the tip is a rolly ball and you just roll it on the spot where you need to roll it. It reduces redness, swelling, and does make acne less visible after a few days of using it on clean skin. On the back of the packkage it says it has a unique blend of Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree, Witch Hazel, abd Camphor. I dont know what Camphor is... Never heard of it.
This also dries quickly so you can use it whenever, I prefer before I go to bed though. Well, its pretty worth it for a dollar. Why not try it? Its working pretty good for me. Ive been using it for about two weeks now.

Rating:: 4.5 out of 5
Price:: 0.2 fl oz./ 6ml for $1.00

How to Use:: (Directions from Package) Apply directly on blemishes nightly.


I found this in my moms bathroom because I had run out of makeup remover... So i saw this and decided to try it. So, I had waterproof eyeliner, waterproof mascara, eyeshadow, and blush on today. This product has a jelly-like consistency... Like petroleum jelly. This is incredibly easy to use and works pretty well. The product claims it moisturizes your skin, while removing makeup even lipstick. You dont have to use any water. It is fragrance free and dermatoligist recommended. It does in fact leave your skin very smooth, but I still feel a residue because its jelly. It shouldnt bother most people. . . I just have issues like that Its ok, i just wiped it off. This removed my makeup very well. None was left. :D It says it provides superior moisturizing for scaling and itching skin and dry skin conditions like eczema. My sister has eczema... I'll have to see if it works. :)

Rating:: 4out of 5(cause of the residue)

Check out their site... Its kinda interesting

How to Use: Smooth over where you have makeup and use a tissue to remove.

e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip

e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip



Okay, I got this as a ''free gift" from e.l.f. for refferring 3 friends... So, I have this in citrus. I wish I got to choose the color. -_- When i opened this a big glob came out. Your only supposed to squeeze a pearl amount. x] So, this is reallllly glittery, so use a little bit. This is also NOT easy to wash off. Even with soap. So, I dont know whether thats a good thing or a bad thing for you. Its really creamy and adds sparkle to your skin. The product claims that it is packed with vitamins B, C, and E. It does brighten your skin. And it has no greasy afterfeel which is also great. Even when you accidentally squeeze a big glob out. ;D The Shimmery Facial Whip smells citrusy so its not a harsh smell or anything.

How to use: Squeeze a pearl size amount onto finger and blend into cheeks, eyes, and/or lips.

e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner

e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner

I have e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner in Ash. Its a grayish color... but it turns out to be very close to black. The bottle is very tiny but the wand is very long so its easy to use.
The tip is thin but you have to apply it very slowly and carefully or it gets blobs on your eyelashes or lids. I do find this eyeliner to be very messy: it gets all over my hands and eyelids/lashes anyway... While using this, I accidentally poked my self in the eye and it got a big smudge of gray in my eye. -_- I tried using water to wash it out but it just smudged all over. SO DO NOT use this if you think you may cry or get wet that day ;) It came out fine all by itself though! This eyeliner removes well if you dab it which takes more time... but if you wipe it, it smudges all over which creates more of a mess. Theres no clumping which is awesome!!! This works good if you want winged eyeliner. Its not the best, but its worth it for the price.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash and Neutrogena Wave Duo

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash and Neutrogena Wave Duo

uhhh this ones kinda long :)
I tend to break out alot and I saw that my mom had this wash so I borrowed it from her. Neutrogena has very good products most of the time. This product is oil free, residue free, and  Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores.) So, I was using it twice a day for about two days and noticed that I broke out even more! I would not recommend this product t people who have oily or acne prone skin. I have heard many great reviews on this product, but I dont like it very much.

Rating:: 0 out of 5
Price:: 6oz for $5.49


Now, about the Neutrogena Wave Duo...
This product thingy looked really cool. So... I put it on my wishlist for Christmas : D lol. So, the product says it cleans 10x deeper than normal cleansers... Sure the soap part works great, but you would have to keep buying the cleansing pads... Anyway, the product has two speeds. Gentle Daily Cleansing or Deep Pore Cleansing. I used this for about a week. Your skin does feel really cool and soft after. But all this Wave Duo is doing is vibrating your skin. With a pad of soap. So, I recommend you just get a good cleanser instead of spending money on this... I think its quite expensive.

Elf Haul:: Coming Soon!

Elf Haul: C0ming s00n!

This morning, I ordered some stuff from elf (eyeslipsface.com). I bout about 15 dollars of stuff. I like their products because most of the stuff is only $1. The only thing that I didnt like was that the shipping was $6.95. I found a coupon code that took off 50% on your purchase so, it kind of covered the shipping. The coupon code only takes off up to $7.50, so you can spend $15 max and get the code's full value. The code is winnerelf. I dont know when this expires... But it works today!

I cant wait til my box of gooodies arrives! ;D ♥

Biore Pore Minimizing Refining Exfoliator

Biore Pore Minimizing Refining Exfoliator

This exfolitator is supposed to polish and smooth your skin. It is dermatologist tested, Non-Comedogenic, Hypoallergenic, and oil free. After the first usee, my skin felt very soft and smooth. This product has three cons. First, is that it made my nose a bit more bumpy and not smooth like the rest of my face. Second, on the tube, it says that the product may make your skin more sensitive to the sun. So, apply sunscreen to your face after use just in case. Third, is that the smell is very strong. So dont apply it on your upper lip xP The price is okay for the product.

Rating:: 3.5 out of 5
Price:: 3oz. for $6.98

How to Use:
After Cleansing face with a cleanser, wet face andapply a quarter size amount onto your face. Massage the product on your face for 1-2 minutes. Adjust your fingertip pressure, softer in more sensitive areas. Close eyes and rinse with cold water. Pat dry.

For best results, use in the shower three times a week. Do NOT use more than 3 times a week.

Thank you for reading!!!!!! ♥

This scrub is absolutely amazing. Its made with all natural exfoliants and extracts: Apricots, Corn Kernel Meal, and Walnuts. It smells of delicious apricots. This scrub leaves your skin soft, smooth, refreshed, and smelling sweet. Your skin will glow after the first use. The scrub gently exfoliates pores and cleanses without oil. I would recommend this product to anybody for, it is one of my favorites. It is really refreshing. I wish I could use this everyday, but that isn't recommended. I'm impressed.

Remington Wet 2 Straight 2" Flat Iron

This flat iron works okay. The plates are big and straighten very quickly.
I love the heat control option and the choice between wet or dry hair. It takes about a minute or less for this flat iron to heat up.  The only cons are, one that when straightening wet hair, it sometimes sprays droplets of very hot water out instead of steam. Second, sometimes this straightener can make hair frizzy when hair is too dry. But I think that might be the case with straightening wet hair. 
(Three Years Later)
I don't advise to do that now. It is extremely damaging. For the most part, I have stopped straightening my hair completely. Over time, I found these plates to be too large. Mind you, I was twelve, and didn't care about the health of my hair. So, I wouldn't recommend this.
