DDF Advanced Moisture Defense UV Cream

Hmm, well... I got this from Sephora as a free sample of the product. When I first got it I noticed it said Doctors Dermatologic Formula. It looks so serious O_O" 

It has SPF 15 and works against UVA and UVB rays. This is good because some sunscreens only protect against one. (Usually UVA)

It claims to Do the things listed to the side in the picture here:

So I also saw on the box that its recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

On the back it says:
Active Ingredients

Avobenzone 2%.............Sunscreen

Ensulizone 1%.............Sunscreen

Octisalate 4%..............Sunscreen

Octocrylene 1.25%..........Sunscreen

These confused me and I have never heard of them before, but... okay.?

When I squeezed some out I noticed it was a pale orange color. I instantly thought OMG, turmeric. I searched the box & I found it xD Turmeric has lots of antioxidants which are really good for your skin.(Michelle Phan taught me so it MUST be true!) I think it also helps lighten your skin too x3

I DONT LIKE THE SMELL OF THIS THOUGH.

Its not floral or anything.... Its plain and YUCK.... I'd rather it not have a scent at all.

D;

Its not sticky and gets soaked in pretty quickly. It also doesnt make your face look orange; dont worry :3

Purederm: Skin Recovery Raspberry Collagen Mask

 As you can see, this looks alot like the SkinLite brand. Thats because they ARE the same brand xD
So, this was my first sheet mask ever and I was pretty confused. I know these are good because they let the nutrients soak in, but I wasnt impressed.

What it looks like when you take it out of the package:

Folded out:

This mask gave a cooling effect. I also didnt like how it smelled (like grape medicine: BLEH) After I left it on for 20 minutes, my skin looked the same and I felt the same D: (I looked really scary with it on xD) but my skin felt slightly softer. Also, the stuff that it was soaked in... there was quite a bit left on my face after removing. I didn't wash it off xD i let it soak in. This morning, I got a new pimple -.-" thanks sheet mask.

Pure Derm: Botanical Choice Nose Pore Strips "Green Tea"

 Soo, I went to the Korean market today (Market World) and I picked up these two things. The Raspberry Mask is my first sheet mask and I will review that soon.

I got these pore strips because I was seriously in the need of some and the Biore ones are like $8 and I'm waiting for a coupon. Anyways...

You get 6 in the box and It says its paraben free.
I'm not very fond of the smell =_= but its supposed to be green tea. Theres other ones too... Like aloe...

Closer view of box:

The packaging:

 Heres the strip:

It comes on a piece of plastic and you peel it off of that. Then you wet your nose & stick it on.

 This is what it looks like: O_O my nose looks gigantic. I was trying not to get my eyes :3

After:

So, thats pretty gross huh? xD
It Works well, takes off the dirt. This is quite drying so I highly recommend you moisturize after.

Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse

 Herbal Essences has a lot of different mousses... I've tried the Set Me Up one and this one. I chose this one caus it was purple! It's the "tropical mystique" fragrance. On the back it says french lavender and jade extracts. It smells pretty good actuually.


It claims to "keep humidity out of your hair and give curls and waves a lush boost." It also says its a weightless formula. I agree that its pretty light ^_^ 
I actually really like this mousse... Uh... It keeps my curls in for a pretty long time. If you have naturally curly hair, put this in while your hair is wet and then blow dry. 

Its a puffy snowball xDD Its really airy ^_^ I like the texture of it because its light and puffy xD you only need a little bit because after you squeeze it out, it expands :D

Wellll, this year, 8th grade... :) I'll miss it.

Just move on (they're not worth it) and smile. That's what I did. ^_^ <3

Tips&Tricks: Soft Feet + Substitute Moisturizer

This time, no pictures are mine!


Do you want soft looking feet that aren't all cracked and dry for the summer? Yeah, who doesn't xD Especially if you wear flip-flops. Well, to achieve this, I use Noxema. Yep, the cleansing cream. I haven't done a review on this yet, but its very awesome ^^ and lasts a long time. Its not expensive either and you can use it on your face for acne too :) So while in the shower, I just put some Noxema on my feet. 

It doesnt have to be a thick layer, just cover your feets. The water will probabaly wash it off right away, but I've done this twice so far and I see a difference ^_^ :DD so, I'll continue this...  :3


If you've run out of moisturizer, use aloe gel. This stuff is used for sunburns. I use it for burns and if I just wanna switch up my moisturizer. Its lightweight, doesnt clog pores, dries quickly, not sticky, and since its a gel instead of a cream, its more lightweight. Aloe is natural and its good for your skin too ^_^ It has softening and soothing properties. Use this on dry patches of skin if you'd like. I use the brand called "Ocean Potion" My parents bought it because I got a sunburn in Hawaii xD It was all over my back. 

Ive also gotten an aloe leaf and took the jelly part out. its really soothing for the skin. and fun to play with ^_^


I just got home from the 8th grade end of the year dance and it was pretty fun ^_^ I danced with all my friends xD Mika, Melany, Damairis, Erick, Sam, Anju, Aj, Alexis, Kayla, and Lauren. Theres more but I cant remember right now! Its late! Bye until next time!

Pantene Pro-V Hair Solutions Medium-Thick Shampoo

I got this ginormus bottle from Costco, It was on sale. I needed something to balance out my overload of conditioner. This shampoo smells like a pantene shampoo. I'm not crazy about the smell, but its okay. It smells clean. And the scent will stay in your hair for a bit, so your hair will smell nice and clean xD For all those hair-sniffers out there. ._. uhh, anyway... I like this shampoo. It lathers up pretty well ^_^ It also makes my hair feel very clean, but not dried. And soft & manageable. It also adds a bit of shine. But, they must use something that my scalp doesn't like or something I'm not used to, because sometimes I'll get bumps on my scalp for using thisDx theyre not big bumps and they go away, But yeah... ;(


On the bottle it says frizzy to smooth. I don't really have a frizzy problem but it makes my hair smoother. Iv'e also gotten sample sizes of the one for fine hair (Flat to Volume) and even though I don't have fine hair, I like that one too. It also gives bumps though o;

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave in Conditioner

O_O I LOOOOOVE THIS STUFF>_< It smells delicious(they say its raspberry & satin) and makes your hair really soft :3 Its just a leave in conditioner. I think Herbal Essences remodeled alotta their stuff Dx But, I'll try it... Maybe? If you put this in while your hair is wet, & you let it air dry, It makes your hair soooo soft & smell YUMMMY. But if its dry, you can't put alot, or itll feel really thick & sticky. Itll dry though... I don't recommend doing that though. It makes your hair feel all dirty. It lasts a long time too, Ive had mine for about a year now.


p.s. I havent been wearing makeup for the past few weeks or so. Just moisturizer. . . Thats irrelevant

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Fortifying Cream Conditioner

I got this conditioner at Costco awhile ago. I got two for like 4 or 5 dollars. and I got two travel size ones too. This is a pretty good size. Its preeeeetty big. I have like, wayyy too much. 
The Website says:

Get the strength to fight frizz with Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine. It's specially created to smooth dry, unmanageable hair and contains Nutritive Fruit Micro-Oils - an innovative combination of apricot and avocado oils, and vitamins B3 and B6.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Cream Conditioner moisturizes and nourishes to tame even the most unruly hair.

So, this is the Sleek & Shine line. Theres a deep conditioner I would like to try. But most likely never will. :) This conditioner does make your hair soft and smooth, but it doesnt like, repair your hair. This conditioner smells yummy ^_^ I'll leave it in for like 3 minutes while I like, shave and such O_O I wish I could leave it in longer though. It would probably leave my hair smoother. Yeahh, thats about it.

Jolen Creme Bleach and Some Blabbering

Lets Get rid of the blabbering first! Ima start doing like QOTD question of the day/ like statement of the day SOTD. So here it is!: Isnt it gross when people chew with their mouths open? xD Im also thinking about getting something. Its a secret for right now :3 So here we go with the review

This is a creme bleach. It bleaches unwanted hair. So, you put Some cream and some of the powder. The cream is the actual bleach and the powder like, activates it. I've been using this for like 4 months now. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and it kind of stings at first. (You can feel it working!:D) but its okay, DISTRACT yourself and everythings alright. Its okayyye :D uhh, Sometimes it irritates my skin and leaves like a red patch and sometimes bumps, but they go away. I recommend using this at night, right before you sleep. If you can still see it after 10/15 min, go for 20.

e.l.f. Studio Concealer

This is the Concealer. I got this somewhere in March.? It comes in a nice little tube. FIRST thing, The cap falls off ALOT>_> so do NOT depend on this cap here. Its not stable =_=" Otherwise, this product is sorta... Nice. Its very creamy and easy to apply, but kinda hard to blend. It'll blend, but you should warm it up on your hand first if your applying with fingers or you can just put it on and blend with a sponge.Its nice and creamy and gives pretty good coverage. I think this is because its so dense ._. You apply it, like you would a lipstick. But on your face.
