NEUTROGENA SENSITIVE SKIN GIFT PACK

 
At my local Walmart there is gift packs o'plenty to suit all tastes and interests in health and beauty some for women, men and even children. I picked up this Neutrogena gift pack because it was on rollback for $9 from $14, which is a really good deal because it basically works out that you bought one item and got two free as each product normally runs $9. 
 
ULTRA GENTLE DAILY CLEANSER
  This is a foaming formula cleanser that is dermatologist tested for sensitive skin, it's hypoallergenic, paraben free, won't clog pores, soap and dye free. This cleanser will help to retain the natural balance of your skin while removing excess oil, makeup and dirt.
 
Good amount of lather and a nice clean fresh scent without being harsh
 
 
MOISTURE OIL-FREE SENSITIVE SKIN FACE LOTION
This product is a good moisturizer that seems to be working for me, till now I have not used any moisturizer, other then the occasional Vaseline. However this has no smell and just gives the skin a light weight drink to keep it from drying out. Its water based so there is no concern of it feeling oily and there is no alcohol that may dry out the skin further.
 

You can happily use this day or night, as well as under your makeup or just on its on. One pump does my entire face just fine.
 
 
ALL IN ONE MAKE UP REMOVING CLEANSING WIPES
These will easily remove face, eye and lip products, you get 25 wipes total. What I do like about these wipes is they are quite big covering your entire face pretty much.
The cloth it self is quite soft. The wipes do have moisturizing ingredients.
 

Now on the package it does say cleans skin thoroughly with no heavy residue, no need to rinse. I feel I do want to rinse after because its not that its heavy, but I do feel like something is on my skin that needs to come off.
 
Safe for eyes and sensitive skin, allergy tested, alcohol and oil free.
 
All in all  I am happy to have been able to pick up this kit at a good price so that I  was able to try out these products and not feel as bad if something doesn't work out for me because one item paid for itself.
 
HAVE YOU TRIED ANYTHING FROM THE NEUTORGENA SENSITIVE LINE AND DID YOU LIKE IT????
 
THANKS FOR READING ALL
 
XOXO

VICHY PURETE THERMALE 3IN1 CALMING CLEANSING SOLUTION AND AQUALIA THERMAL 24HR HYDRATE

Hi everyone,



Today we are taking a look at two Vichy products which are aimed for at sensitive skin

The first item is the PURETE THERMALE 3IN1 CALMING CLEANSING MICELLAR SOLUTION

This cleansing solution feels like plain water across your skin, but I do feel an every so slight tingle to my skin where it may be helping problem areas. This product has absolutely NO fragrance or smell, it seems very clinical.

 
This product works very well at getting trace amounts of impurities and left over makeup off the skin. There are times I have washed my face and even after I use a cotton pad and some of this and see more product coming off my skin that face washing missed.
This product is suitable for ALL skin types, but I highly recommend it for those with very sensitive skin, because it will not aggravate your skin an further.
 
This product is available in a 200ml and 400ml bottle, please check with a retailer near you for pricing which may run between $17-25
 
 
 
I also tried the AQUALIA THERMAL 24HR HYDRATE
 


 
This is a very rich emollient cream that claims to be fortifying and soothing for 24hr. It also is paraben free, allergy tested and hypoallergenic.
Here I am again though complaining about the fact that this particular product has fragrance in it. So even if everything else meets the standard for sensitive skin, that one thing can throw it all out the window. It does do a good job moisturizing the skin, but it seems a bit to rich for me personally.
 
So I think if you have skin that is not sensitive to fragrance additives and your skin tends to be more dry then this product might work for you.
I would NOT recommend this for ACNE prone skin.
 
You will get a 50ml glass jar for about $40
 
 
If you see a product here that you want to try you can find a large selection of VICHY products at your local SHOPPERS DRUG MART in Canada
or if your in the U.S check at your nearest
ULTA store.

Thanks to those who continue to read till next time....
 
STAY BEAUTIFUL XO

PHYSICIANS FORMULA HAUL AND REVIEW

ALL ITEMS WERE SENT TO ME BY PR FOR CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW, SO THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH TO PHYSICIANS FORMULA. OPINIONS ARE MY OWN BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

ORGANIC WEAR JUMBO LASH MASCARA
 (SRP. $12) 7.5g ULTRA BLACK
 I really like most everything about this mascara. The wand is nice and sturdy and the brush is super thick and the soft plastic bristles give you nicely separated voluminous lashes. You get just the right deposit of colour without it looking goopy and overloaded. The only downside is it does smudge if you sweat a lot (WHCH I DO) due in part to the fact it is not waterproof and probably because it's not loaded with harsh chemicals that make most mascara's stay on for a long time. To me it's not really a big deal, but you should know that if your planning on purchasing.


I love the tube itself it's such a great unique style and true to the natural ingredients that Physicians Formula offers. I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and I would definitely repurchase it because it does not irritate my eyes and gives a nice natural pretty look to the lashes.

This mascara is 100% NATURAL and the entire tube is 100% recyclable

Only two colours are offered Black & Ultra Black


SHIMMER STRIPS EYE ENHANCING EYELINER TRIO
(SRP. $14) WARM NUDES

I want to start by saying that I forgot how much I  love to use a mechanical eyeliner that is self sharpening. You can get in so close to the lash line and get such a great accurate line without mess or fuss.
The set comes with three pencils, which is so great as you can create ample looks and will be well stocked for eye liner for a while. The custom colours in this particular set are COPPER, BRONZE AND BLACK. The black has a bit of sparkle to amp up your eye look and really illuminate them. The bronze is really nice if you want a deeper tone for your liner, but not as dramatic as black. The copper looks really nice on the water line and makes the eyes stand out and sparkle.





SUPER BB CREAM
(SRP. $20) 35ml LIGHT/MEDIUM

I would say this bb cream is the closest in terms of meeting the standard with Asian bb creams and I am a real fan of it. I like the way it goes on, blends out and works well on my oily skin.
So here is the 10 benefits that Physicians Formula promises from their bb cream
  • Smoothing
  • Moisturizing
  • Protecting
  • Firming
  • Priming & filling
  • Perfecting
  • Concealing
  • Brightening
  • Line softening
  • Long-wearing



Once blended out this bb cream evens out the skin tone and leaves it dewy and natural looking. This is a great bb cream for summer weather, it feels lightweight and adds moisture without the oiliness. Also your face will be protected from the harsh affects of the sun with its built in SPF30. I like that I can apply this quickly and just get on with the day.

This bb cream also comes in Medium/Dark 



MINERAL WEAR TALC-FREE AIRBRUSHING PRESSED POWDER
(SRP. $16) 7.5G BEIGE

This ultra fine pressed powder has now been my go to powder. I really like the finish it imparts on my skin. As the last step after applying the bb cream it leaves the skin looking silky and flawless. It has very good coverage for a powder and will last up to 16 hours, mind you I never wear it that long. I only wear makeup when I go out, other wise I remove it has soon as I am home again to allow my face to breath naturally.





If you are sensitive to a lot of products and tend to break out I recommend this for you as it is non-comedogenic, fragrance free, hypoallergenic, paraben free and dermatologist approved. Again this product gives you sun protection as well with SPF 30.
The other shade options are
translucent, creamy natural and natural beige.
 
The compacts from Physicians Formula all come equipped with a mirror and brush


SEXY BOOSTER, SEXY GLOW BLUSH
(SRP. $14) ROSE


Have you ever heard of a pheromone boosting blush, that sends out a seductive scent??? Yeah! nither did I till now. However that is what Physicians Formula is offering with this product.
The blushes I have tried by PF are really beautiful. I normally am not a huge fan of blush, but these ones are quickly changing all that.
This rose toned blush offers luminous sexy from within look with just the right touch of shimmer. Sexy glow blush builds easily and blends to a lovely finish.






The packaging for this blush is excellent, completely reads sexy with the embossed print of a stiletto high heel in the powder it self. The compact opens with the look of a leather bound book and is draped in material which looks like sexy fish net stockings over sensual red satin. There is also a small black bow with a silver high heel charm. The back opens as well which has a mirror and holds a small brush.

So what makes this blush so sexy
Androstadienone - It's odd that Androstadienone is in this as normally its predominant in men's cologne, but is noted for creating sexual attraction.
Muricine Aglycone - This ingredient is a non-pheromone organic molecule found in sea coral and has been proven to increase excitement and arousal in men and woman.
Cocoa extract- which has PEA in it in slang known as the "Love Chemical" also induces feelings of attraction and euphoria.
Horny Goatweed - This has been around a long time and was part of ancient Chinese medicine. It is said to restore sexual fire and is very much an aphrodisiac.
To top it off this powder has to off the most sensual scents in the world which is Vanilla and Musk.

Again it is free from all the things I mentioned for the pressed powder above but also is Gluten free.

Who knew that you would be attracting men or women now with something as simple as rosy cheeks

If you love blush or are looking to try something new don't miss this SEXY BOOSTER


The next item is also a blush, but I purchased this on my own and its the

HAPPY BOOSTER GLOW & MOOD BOOSTING BLUSH
(SRP $14) NATURAL

This is by far one of the cutest blushes I have seen embossed with various sized hearts all of which have different shades that blend seamlessly together to create the most beautiful glowing blush without being crazy in colour. I have used this most days since I purchased it and it's the perfect blush for me as I don't want crazy bold rouge across my cheeks. I want something that highlights just right with a gentle colour. This to has plant extracts that help promote feelings of happiness. That area is a little grey for me as I can't say I notice a difference, but I am happy to put on this blush each day, so it's all good.

Just beware this does have a very subtle scent of violets so if you don't like floral scented items this might not be for you. Mind you it is very light I don't even notice it when it's on only if you smell the compact.

And last but not least is the

PH MATCHMAKER PH POWERED LIP GLOSS
(SRP. $10) LIGHT PINK

This gloss is the first of it's kind to work with your bodies natural ph level and reacts to the light. Within 60 seconds you will have the perfect shade of gloss with a long lasting finish of up to 10 hours. PH MatchMaker lip gloss is fairly smooth, has very fine sparkle with just a touch of tackiness.


The sleek hot pink tube is sure to be a hit with most of us girls out there, but it gets better. Find yourself in the dark of the car, out at a club with dim lights, trying to get makeup on in the bedroom where a loved one is sleeping? No problem these lip glosses come fully loaded with a mirror and two bright led lights in the cap. With just a click of a button your in action.


So anytime your lips need fresh gloss be sure to keep this handy one in your bag wherever you go. Now you really can go "Glamping" just on a smaller scale.
 Use this not only to apply makeup, but a an emergency flash light.

Including this shade there are three colour choices and the other two are Natural & Pink

I highly encourage all of you to try something from Physicians Formula as I truly love these products and find them well worth the money. They do not irritate my skin at all and in fact other then testing products when I have to for reviews I have not been using anything else on my face. My top picks are the BB cream, pressed powder and happy booster blush.
