Khiel's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate Review

I got this for my birthday in March and had been using it on and off hoping that by doing so it would still work and last longer than using it twice a day as suggested on the bottle. There was no real difference to be seen by this method.

However recently my skin had become very dry and dull so I decided to use this product as intended and it has made such a dramatic difference in the appearance and feel on my skin.

The first thing I noticed was that my skin felt smoother, softer and more plump - it hadn't felt like that in ages. I was so intrigued by the smoothness that I got out of bed and looked at my skin in the mirror and lo-and-behold my skin looked clearer and more radiant. Awesome!

I can't say I have noticed a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles but it's only been 4 weeks since I started using this product properly. I get sub-orbitals wrinkles and creases on my cheeks next to my nose from sleeping on my face and I massage them out with my my ritual facial massages because, even though they are barely noticable, I'm scared they're becoming permanent. I must learn to sleep on my back or repurchase the silk eye mask I raved about last year. I miss that mask, to make a long story short I left it on an Emirates aeroplane :(

Anyway...

I'm sure that by the skin feeling more plump the wrinkles are 'pushed out' or the writing on the bottle means that the decrease in the appearance of wrinkles refers to the appearance of wrinkles that would appear over ones lifetime.

This product contains 10.5% Vitamin C which, a powerful antioxidant and claims to noticeably decrease the appearance of marionette lines, crows feet and sub-orbitals wrinkles while improving skin texture and radiance.

You can buy this product from Strawberrynet.com, which is where this was purchased :)

Ulta3 Nail Colour Mojito Review

If you like green and all things bright then this is the colour for you. This colour is just as vibrant on the nails as it is in the bottle.  It is especially trendy right now with all the brights available this season. Think of this nail colour as a cheap thrill for this season :)

The photos's taken inside don't do this colour any justice. Put it this way it's a tree frog green but the photo's make it look like an aquamarine. Take a look at the last pic for a wow moment!

Collections: Maybelline Lipsticks

I have only purchased one lipstick out of this whole bunch - Are you Red-dy. The rest, I'm pretty sure, were discontinued so I was lucky enough to be able to keep what I wanted before the Maybelline rep took them.

I'm not really a lipstick fan in that I don't use lipstick in the way that it's intended. Instead, I use them more as lip stains by blotting (not swiping) them on my lips for a little colour.

Ulta3 Nail Colour in Antique Copper Review

I have gone Ulta3 Nail Colour crazy in the past few months. There are so many colours to choose from so whenever I go past a product bin of theirs I like to dig through it to see what I can find.

This is one of the nail colours I picked up the last time shuffled through their product bin. It's a shimmery golden champagne colour.

I really like this brand. It dries really fast and doesn't streak. With this brand you definately don't get what you pay for...you get more! I believe this brand of nail colour is just as good, if not better, than more expensive brands on the market.

At $2 to $2.25 per bottle, you can find this brand in pharmacies or enquire here.

Clarins One-Step Facial Cleanser Review

The first time I tried this cleanser it was a gift with purchase but I have bought it since. And though it's not one of my favourite cleansers I do love its simplicity of use. I use this cleanser on the nights I am too tired to cleanse my skin properly. All you need to do to remove make-up is to apply it to your face using a make-up remover pad, with no need to rinse.

The downside to this product for me, I have to admit, is that it can leave the skin feeling like it has an oily residue and it doesn't always remove all traces of make-up. So in this case I recommend following with a toner just to be sure.

Conclusion:
Can leave skin feeling like it has an oily residue and doesn't always remove all make-up however it is simple to use with no need to rinse.
