Beauty Review: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry -combination - sensitive type of skin.

CLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING BALM

Yes I did a review on this product last year. This is the link to my old review on this product:

http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2008/10/beauty-review-clinique-take-day-off.html

Last Year, when I decided I want to buy this, I had a hard time finding it. The husband actually went to several MACYS just to get this one for me. The reason why is because they told him that they are discontinuing this product because not much people buy it. I was skeptical on trying it when I heard about that because why on earth would they discontinue a product if it works? But I tried it anyway, and guess what? I LOVE IT!!!

Description from Sephora.com

• Lightweight Cleansing Balm quickly dissolves tenacious eye and face make ups, including those with sunscreen. Transforms from a solid balm to a silky, fluid oil upon application. Cleans thoroughly, Rinses-off completely. Non-greasy. Non-drying. For all Skin Types.

Application:

1. Begin with a face full of make up. Here I am using UDPP as my primer, MAC eyeshadows, UD Waterproof Eyeliner and Mascara. Also I am using Sunscreen, Primer, and L'egere BB Cream - yup tons of make up!

2. Apply the Clinique Cleansing Balm in all areas of your face. Apply more to the areas where you think its necessary.

3. Gently massage your face especially to the areas where you have "heavy make up" on like your eyes. You will notice that your make up is slowly "melting" Continue to rub until you don't feel the mascara on your lashes no more.

4. Take a clean cotton pad and wet it with warm water then gently rub it on your eyes, removing all the eye make up.

5. You'll see how dirty your cotton pad be. :p

6. Rinse your face with lukewarm water then proceed with your regular cleanser after. Make sure to use a clean towel to dry your face. And please when you dry your face, don't rub, just pat.

PROS: I started using this October of 2008 and let me tell you that this is the reason why I don't get that much acne. I don't break out often. You may ask, why do I think that? Because when I ran out of this Balm, I switched to another Make Up Remover, and I started breaking out - mostly on my chin area and forehead. But I repurchased this last month and my skin cleared up right away. I think its because this removes all of my make up and dirt that causes acne. I use sunscreen and not all of the make up removers I tried removes sunscreen. The Make up remover I purchased before does not even remove my eyeliner entirely. But this Cleansing Balm does! It is very gently to the eye area, it does not sting, and removes even my waterproof mascara!

It received 5 stars from Sephora.com and almost all of them like this Balm. I am telling you guys, I think this is the reason why I don't get monthly break out anymore - only the times I get lazy to wash my face and what you know, the next morning, hello zits! lol.

CONS: They might discontinue it! [I am hoping they won't please...]. When you put it on, it will become very greasy and oily and it blurs your eyes for a second which might annoy you. [it does not annoy me any longer. I got used to it because when you rinse it off, your eyesight will go back to normal] I don't like the smell - well, it does not smell anything! Haha. I am just used to things that smells something. :P

Oh, it is not very hygienic since its in a tub so you have to make sure every time you dip your fingers on that tub, they better be clean!

OVERALL: What do you think? Of course I will repurchase! I will get back ups if I need to!

My Face Routine and Smokey Eyes

So I did a little tutorial on Youtube. Its been ages since I did a tutorial there.. Haha. I don't do much videos. Only when I feel like it. Lol. I have like 2000+ subscribers and i love them all. I do answer almost all of the comments I get. I think Blogger world is more friendly than the YT world. I love Blogger world more.. heehee!

So I did my FACE ROUTINE which is very simple. The products I use regularly are the following:

• Make Up Forever HD Primer in Blue [i will review this more later on]
• L'egere Multi White BB Cream [click to see my review about it]
• Make Up Forever Lift Concealer [click to see my review about it]
• Dame Edna Powder

My face looked white after I put all the products. This is because  I have sallow skin tone [yellowish skin tone]. But if you look more closely, my face and neck matched better after I put the BB Cream. It does oxidize and later on, it will look darker than my neck. lol.

The other two videos are just a tutorial of a Simple Smokey Eyes Look. The lighting totally suck, or maybe the settings on my MACbook. lol. You can't even see the color. Haha! Here's the things I used:

• UDPP as a primer
• MAC Nylon e/s all over the lid
• MAC Fertile e/s on the crease
• MAC Amber Lights e/s as a highlight
• Blacktrack Fluidline
• Loreal Mascara
• Darkness Lashes - Duo Lash Adhesive
• Vanilla Pressed Pigment to add shimmer
• Sunbasque Blush
• Money Honey Dazzleglass

Anyway, I ordered some jewelries from Steph -

Beauty Review: Smooth Legs

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry -combination - sensitive type of skin.

WARNING: Gross stuff in this entry!!! Please read everything! Its important!

This product is called SMOOTH LEGS which is like a pad with superfine crystals that removes unwanted hair. I'm sure you guys have seen this at the mall or at CVS. Well, this is my own opinion and just wants to share you guys my experience with this product.

This is their website. Go click it for more information of their  product.

http://smoothnsexyskin.com/

Their website claims that SMOOTH LEGS removes unwanted hair and exfoliates your skin at the same time for the softest skin ever. The secret is the superfine crystals that quickly and gently removes hair from legs, underarms, and facial areas.

PROS: NONE!! EVER!!!! I would never ever buy this again and would never recommend this product to anyone!

CONS: A LOT OF CONS!!! 1st is the price. I bought 2 because my mom wants 1 too. It was 2 for $43. Yes it was $20/each at the mall. I know, I should have just gotten it at CVS for a cheaper price but it was too late when I found out that CVS carries this product as well.

In their website, they said that it exfoliates the skin? Its texture is fine but it feels like a sand paper! I followed the instructions and stated there that you need to remove all the creams and lotions before you use it, and I did. But guess what! It left my skin really harsh and bumpy! It was red! It was gross!!!

I tried it on my armpit as well but it just left it bumpy and red as well. It was so hard to remove the hairs. When I tried it at the mall, it was OK but later on, my skin became harsh and red.

This is my legs hours after I use their product. Sorry my legs are so dry. lol.

So what I did is I tried to contact them and emailed them all of my concerns because the mall where I bought said they can't refund it. I was hoping the company would at least refund my purchase, but I waited for days and there was no respond. When I tried to email them again, it stated on the Email Notification that the recipient rejected my email. WOW! I am beyond disappointed with them. I hope they will be able to read this! I am not the ONLY ONE who feels disappointed on this product! Some blogger girls told me that they felt the same too.

Such a waste of money! 

June Haul

I was off last Tuesday (06/02) and Adrian was too so we decided to go to Orange County and just have fun.. :) I got a massage - I know I said before my 1st time was so horrible but this time it was actually great! They put hot stones on my back and it felt relaxing.. The oil and cream was also warm and it felt so good, it was soothing :) Hope to go back there again soon! :D

We also went to South Coast but I didn't really buy anything. I went to Sephora to return the Korres Yogurt Mask because it did not do anything on  my skin. That Yogurt Mask was actually for people who has oily skin and I have dry skin! It dried my skin more! So I got the Korres Thyme Honey Mask for Dry Skin! I tried it last night and it was looovveee! I will review it more later.

Then I went to MAC to do a B2M. I don't know what to get.. so I decided to just get the MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparks. It is so pretty. Kinda like a baby doll pink.

So far, I now have 5 Dazzleglasses. They're so pretty! I love how glittery they are but I'm not crazy about their stickiness.

Money Honey, Kitty Kouture, Dazzle-Puss, Spanking Rich, Baby Sparks

Then I stopped by at Wet Seal and Sanrio to get some Hello Kitty things. I love my new sleep wear. I love Hello Kitty Stickers too. and the Decal for my car. :)

I also went to Ontario CCO but I only got one thing. I got this Mineralized Blush in Gleeful. Such a pretty summery blush. I love the natural flush it gives.

I also "tried" to lighten my hair but it wasn't successful. I darkened my hair 2 months ago so when I tried to lighten it back, it did not work. It stayed the same but somehow the top of my head is lighter than the ends of my hair.

See what I mean? Lighter on the roots, darker on the ends. Totally like I had some low lights. lol. Its crazy! I'm scared to re-do it as it might damage my hair. :(

That is it for today. I will do "blog-hopping" tomorrow. Gotta rest now. I will try to respond to all of the comments tomorrow. Love you all! :)

Btw, I still don't have anything to wear for POW WOW. Will look next week on my days off.
