Hello Darlings,
When it comes to skin care and beauty products, it feels like I’ve tried them all. I am constantly trying something new out of personal interest, and since my skin has “whack attacks”. Today I am going to give my 2 cents with a mascara product review and also skin care.
I am allergic to many skin care products. My skin is sensitive, and classified as normal/combination. My skin breaks out from slightly oily product, but also flakes if they are not oily enough. My skin also reacts differently to the same products after consistent use. Dilemma? YES.
L’Oreal Double Extend Tubes Mascara
I am nervous trying new mascaras because of allergies, but had no troubles with this one. It is soft and moisturizing, with no clumping or smudging. It made my lashes appear long (when used with an ultra nourishing base coat). It delivers such a dramatic result there is no need for ” fake lashes”. $15 dollars well spent, and I would recommend it to those who want extra length.
Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Mascara
My first choice since it delivers a natural look, which is a ideal for every day (opposite of L’Oreal). I like the brush since it bombs the lashes. This mascara is ideal if you prefer, like I do, a bare look with just a hint of color. You can layer the coats for a slightly more defined look, but not as dramatic and drastic as the L’Oreal Double Extend. For me, I use L’Oreal Double Extend for a night out since it gives me the ” come hither” look.
Ultra Facial Moisturizer delivers the perfect amount of moisture. I am still deciding about Kiehl’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser, since my skin became overly dry. Cucumber Alchohol-Free Toner is very refreshing. Kiehl’s Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover is NOT good. The next morning I had dry flaky eyes and felt swollen. Use instead Marcelle Eye Make Up Remover Lotion (oil free), it is gentle and soothing.
Rusk Sensories Pure Shampoo and Conditioner
I’ve been using this shampoo and conditioner, and it’s not the best. It smells yummy, which is why I bought it. For me it is not nourishing enough, but it could be okay if you have oily hair.
OPI Nail Lacquer in You Don’t Know Jacques!
I adore this color, it is so unique and fresh. It is the perfect alternative to darks. I would describe this color and mousey gray. TRY IT.
ON MY TO BUY LIST…
Kerastase Masque Creme Richesse - Treatment for Dry to Very Dry Sun-Exposed Hair
Kiehl’s Light Nourishing Eye Cream
With Love…

great post as always. I love miss dior - I keep eyeing it - it smells divine. Perhaps an after christmas treat for myself!
Dior Cherie is also on my list
and that Keratase masque is exactly what I need….its actually on my “to buy” list…the way I color/fry out my hair..I need a good treatment and at the salon they are such a rip off…I rather do it at home watching TV sipping my coffee
Kill that exam girl!

hihihi.
cetaphil is the holy grail.
pure perfection.
i would give it a go for a few weeks.
it is uber cheap so see how your skin takes.
and i do not use toner or make-up remover.
just face wash - eye cream (only at night) & moisturizer (only in morning).
i find doing too much to the skin dries it out.
let me know how it goes!

&& WARNING: you will not be able to set down the Twilight books once you start!

and i have to add, i have too over sensitive skin. i can use just some really rare products.its tough. some products are way too perfumed so u have to be sure and always check no perfume etc..and still some even for sensitive skin products may still irritate me. nowadays i use in skincare clinigue and lumene and some which i bought from pharmacy. they are for now okay.
Hello,
I am new to your blog and i just love it.
I have sensitive skin as well and am always having to change product as the chemicals are too strong. I am currently using L'Occitane Ultra Comforting Cream for my daily moisturiser and Olive Express Eye Treatment on my eyes at night - i definitely recommend it next time your in need of a change.
& I bought the L'oreal mascara the other day based on your advice and i love it. Utterly divine. So thank you!
