Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Cherry Lipbalm Product Review

Swathy · December 23, 2015 · 2 Comments

Very recently, I developed a fetish for red lips. I so badly wanted to carry the boldest red available in the market and I did swipe the Mac Ruby Woo. Probably there is just too much blue which made me look more like a harlot than a girl who could carry the red. And, unfortunately, it did not survive my lunch which made me get over the fetish as soon as I jumped on it.

And, then, suddenly, I got this gem of a lip balm which fulfilled my urge for painted lips. That was Electro Pop from the Baby Lips range which gives a lovely pink shade. And, a few days later, Maybelline came up with the Candy Wow range. These lip balms come in a crayon format and their tubes are bright candy colored tubes which look pretty attractive.

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser Product Review

I know you are getting bombarded with a load of product reviews since last week.Please bear with me since my shelf is fulllllll of soooo many of them and most of them I have totally loved!! So, today, I have this extremely expensive cleanser which gets finished in just half a month, especially if you use it like I do. But, I found it amazing for my skin. Why? Read further and you will have the answers. In the meantime, do recommend any of your favourite cleansers as well!!

I did mention that I have started using sunscreen again and as much as I love using oil to remove my sunscreen, I do like to use cleansers sometimes. The latest in cleansers is the balms which seem quite interesting and I am quite interested in trying out the one from Clinique. May be in a few months! While searching for suitable cleansers, I came across this one from Neutrogena. I have managed to empty the bottle in just 15 days which is why I said it is expensive. So, let me elaborate on why I like the product.

Clean & Clear Essentials oil-control toner Product Review

So, this was one of the finds in Malaysia. And, somehow, even though my skin is dry, it has always loved alcohol toners. I know it sounds weird and I can not really explain why either. Apparently, alcohol is supposed to strip the skin off its lipids and everything else and make your skin extremely dry and prone to bacteria.

But, for me, I think it just restores my skin’s pH (I am not claiming it, this is just what I think) and makes my skin better by removing the dead skin cells and excess oils and then I immediately apply my serums and replenish the lost moisture. So yes, I do not feel dry or dehydrated or stretchy at any point of time.

The result was the same once when I had a chance to use the Clinique toner once upon a time. My skin loved it. Also, I have to mention that I use this toner only when I double cleanse my face after removing the sunscreen. I try not to use the alcohol toner regularly. Instead, I use hydrosols or floral waters to dampen my skin before following up with my night skin care routine.

Oh yes, I use toners only at night. In the morning, I try to keep my skin care routine simple as sunscreen application itself takes me quite a long time, though I am getting better at it now!! And, I am almost done with this product so no more alcohol toner available for me to use either. I would not buy one just to be on the safer side!!
