Putting Klear Action to the Test



Klear Action is an acne system which has the same ingredients as proactiv. The difference is the lower price. It is about $ 19 on Amazon and it claims to unclog pores and prevent acne. My package came today so I can't tell you about my experience with this system but I am introducing it to you because I will be testing it for the next couple of weeks to see if it makes a difference. My acne is horrible and partly responsible for my skins incompatibility with most foundations. I have big pores on my nose and I break out on my chin which gets worse during my period. I get cystic acne which I am not expecting this product to cure but, along with that I get pimples and other unattractive acne on my chin. My dermatologist prescribed me Differin and BenzaClin and it made a difference but it all came back too soon. It was as if my skin adapted to the products in a month. Now, I am being active at taking a gamble with an OCT acne treatment because it is easier, cheaper, and convenient. It is hard for me to make appointments with school taking up my time. So, it was cheap and I am looking forwad to taking a chance!

Welcome Back!




I went back to college today, so long break! Such a bummer I really enjoyed being lazy and sleeping in. Because of my makeup routine which is ridiculously long I take about an hour to get ready after I have showered unless I showered the night before. I have my hello kitty alarm set to 5:30am no wonder I don't stay awake in class. I have been looking at straighteners for my future bday prezzie. My Chi is complete crap it doesn't heat up anymore! And I am stuck between some difficult choices the Sedu or the Hai convertible as well as two cheapos Remington and conair infiniti. I am searching everywhere for reviews. Real true reviews from other bloggers please X post in comments any or what you use. I am in dire need because my hair is nothing but frizz! I don't mind buying lower price but honestly I want the one that works! I paid 100 for my Chi and it sucked it wasn't hot and powerful like I thought.

In the pictures I am wearing different products because I wear new arrangements of makeup everyday. I am one very unsatisfied makeup hauler I don't have a consistent routine and I still haven't found holy grail anything =...{. I don't know what to do to get my face really up to par I always have cakey makeup and I can't find a good foundation. Some girls barely look like they are wearing makeup I can't pull it off. Anyways, enough with my pity lol. I'll tell you what I am wearing today because I was somewhat content with it.

Face-
Rimmel Lasting finish foundation in ivory
Rimmel Primer
Milani Minerals loose makeup
Sephora sculpting Palette

Lips-
Rimmel Lipstick in Crush

Eyes-
44 shade kohl's palette
PF Mineral wear Mascara Ultra Black
Eyebrow Jane a brown shadow

Plano Stow 'N Go







Storage! I am unorganized I have stuff kicking around on ever shelf so yesterday I went to Lowe's to try to solve the problem. I wanted compartments and lots of room and the only item there that offered this was Plano's Stow 'N Go Pro-Rack Organizer. It is serious! It does not look like a lot of makeup but there is still a decent amount tucked in there. The coolest feature is the very top compartment because I can put bottles that stand up in it like foundations. What is also neat is the hole for a lock which I have! So if you have siblings or children around and you want to protect expensive makeup you can in the top compartment! I got it in brown but it also comes in an icky yellow. If you want to check it out you can. This isn't the end for me I will be getting more ideas and storage in the future when I have more items. I told my B/F that if I out grow this one he can have it for his tools =P but until then, mine! Here is a link to what I bought.
Cost- $29.98

I am seeking input on how you ladies store products! Please send links to posts if you reviewed or wrote about it. I will collect them and list them here. What do you do to stay organized? Thank you!

Vincent Longo




Today I got my order from Sephora for the Vincent Longo Almafi dream look.
It contains the following:
Eye souflle- Lily Mist
Trio Eyeshadow- Orbit Dusk
Velvet Riche Lipstick- Sexy Lady
Duo Lip pencil- Passion/ soft pink
Mascara- The curl
Perfect Shine Lipgloss- Almafi Dream

So, overall I love the lipstick and gloss the most. The color is awesome and the application was smooth it is such a pretty deep purplish pink! Amazing. I was disappointed most with the Trioeyeshadow because I like more pigments and I really had to apply these to get anything to show up. I have yet to try the mascara because I wanted to test my Physicians Formula Mascara. I finally notice a difference from my other mascara pictures. My lashes looks darker and fuller. I wish wish wish it was perfect but there is always a drawback. I had a hard time getting my lashes to stay curled and it took extra effort overall to comb out clumps and set into place. However, if I have the extra time I will definitely choose this PF mascara over covergirl!!

A Trip to CVS





I have a small haul of items from CVS; makeup to candy. Stores have valentines stuff out and I love candy hearts so I grabbed myself a pack. I will just list what I got and then review them tomorrow!

PF= Physicians Formula
PF Blemish Healing Concealer Light
PF Mineral Cream Concealer Light
PF Mineral Loose Blush Soft Glow
PF Mineral Loose Blush Natural Glow
PF Mineral Mascara
Milani Pressed Powder Nude
Monistat Chafing Powder for a Primer
Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste

On the label of the PF blemish healing concealer it had a picture of a lady before and after. It looks cool I hope it works. Also, the PF mascara it promises that fake eye lash look with three coats I am excited. It will be the third mascara I reviewed!!

Just because!




Because I am fanatic about facebook, I am going to share my obsession with three applications. I love my farm, hug me, and pass a drink; I use these applications everyday! My farm is slow but a work in progress, planting crops to earn cash takes time. I have about 20 grand but it is always a set back when you have to plow every crop after about -$20. Well I like the other two applications because they are cute, when are you ever going to throw a monkey at someone? And using pass a drink is like having a personal virtual bar. I know I am not the only person out there who looks forward to sending messages and hugs! Bye bye myspace! xoxox facebook!

Rimmerl vs. Covergirl Mascara


Okay here is where thinks get tricky. I cannot see a difference from Rimmel Magnifier eye opening mascara and Covergirl lashblast. It looks like I copied and used the picture from my other mascara post. I did no such thing! Honestly, the result was almost the exact same. Rimmel made my eyelashes look a hint more fuller and thicker. There is less space at the base of my lashes. Is this enough for me? No, I like lashblast better because of the applicator and the size of the handle it is easier to use. I will stick with Covergirl for now...!!
