Dr. Organic Vitamin E Scar & Stretch mark serum

I bought this Serum quite a while ago, because I figured I needed a serum for that extra hydration etc. Why not use extra cream against scarring with it since I get lotsa scars due to annoying pimples (but it has improved really well lately, but I don't know why.)

If you didn't know yet, Dr. Organic is Paraben free, SLS free and it doesn't contain artificial colours, fragrances or harsh preservatives. And Dr. Organic doesn't test on animals.

What does it promise? Well, this serum claims to be:

• Hydrating
• Restoring
• Regenerating
• Protecting

And it's naturally moisturising. Here's what it says on the back of the box:

In combination with a complex proprietary blend of bioactive, natural and organic ingredients including Demochlerra DP (tested for use on scars and stretch marks), this podent restoring and hydrating cream absorbs into the effected epidermal subcutaneous cell matrix to instantly nourish and regenerate, restoring the skins natural moisture levels to give scars and stretch marks a smoother more tonned and radiant appearance.


This serum contains the bioactive, natural and organic ingredients: Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Juice, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Lotus Flower Extract, Chlorella Extract, Beeswax, Lemon Peel Oil (lemon smell? :)) Amino Acid Complex, Lemon Grass Oil, Elemi Oil, Liquorice Extract and Green Tea (Onomnom)

I don't know all the effects of all these ingredients. I only know Vitamin E helps restoring skin tissue (or something in that direction) Aloe Vera is cooling (but it doesn't necessarily cool my skin) and Shea Butter can moisturise your skin (correct me if I'm wrong >_<)

Awesome picture taking skills =-=

My opinion:
The texture is not like any other serums, usually a serum is liquid (almost liquid) and this is more like a cream.

I think this serum works really well: it leaves my skin soft and hydrated. I also noticed my scars started fading after a while, so it does fade the scars =) I LOVE the smell, it smells like lemons, nice and fresh =)

I always use this serum in combination with my other Dr. Organic cream. I think this one smells nicer but I guess that's personal opinion (I like lemon smell ^^)

You really don't need a lot of cream. I usually use about a pea size, bit more. Your skin absorbs the cream quite fast, which is absolutely a pro.

The serum definitely lightens scars, I've been using it for quite a while and I paid extra attention to some scars on my face, and I noticed they're gone!

I'm very positive about this serum in a sense of it being a cream, but I don't know if other (more liquid and intense) serum will be better.

Something for you if:

• You are looking for an all organic serum
• You have sensitive skin and you can't use other serums (which I doubt)
• You like serums smelling of lemon
• Lighten your scars.

Skip it if:

• You think £8.19 is too expensive for a 50 ml tube of serum
• You want a FAST lightening cream. This lightening process is not very fast so...

Not many negative points... I must say I've never tried any other scar lightening creams/oils. And I don't know if Bio-Oil works better for scars so maybe you should do some more research on that. I'd say, if you want to have it more expensive just go for Bio-Oil and if not, go for something from Dr. Organic! Or just anything with Vitamin E oil. (or just pure vitamin E oil =))

 I hope this review was somewhere useful... I'm a sucker I know >_< Sorry! I forgot the price but I searched it on Google and found that it was £8.19 pounds on Holland and Barrett (also it has a buy one get one for half the price) so... This is your chance if you want to try. 

Yes I'm rambling about everything... sorry...  Now it's study time again... So proud of myself blogging 4 days straight xd yes it's very hard for me,,,

Dr Organic Royal Jelly Cream Review

I should really do more reviews, otherwise it'll feel like my blog is... nothing >.<

Moving on to the review. Dr. Organic Royal Jelly: Skin Whitening Cream. I think it's really good that Dr Organic is:

• Paraben free
• SLS free
• Has no artificial colours, fragrances or harsh preservatives

It sounds so skin friendly, so I just had to buy it. And the price was also very nice: €9,49 for 125ml I consider that as much, since I only use it for my face, it'll take a while before I finish it ^^

This  is what it looks like in the box

Front. ARGH it's a bit blurry

Back.

What does it promise?

It says it'll lighten, protect, and condition (moisturise?) your skin. 

It contains these bioactive, natural and organic ingredients: Fresh Royal Jelly, Algowhite, Liquorice extract, Bearberry extract, Red Clover, Mulberry extract, Aloe Vera Juice, Heather, Propolis, Cedarwood, Lemon Peel Oil, Geranium Oil, Patchouli Oil, Petitgrain Oil and Sandalwood Oil.


My experience with it?
I use this as a night cream. It doesn't specifically say day or night cream, but I was afraid it was a bit too much as a day cream. The cream is just plain white, it smells like bees wax and the substance is a bit thicker than a normal cream, but not as thick as bees wax or so. Since I only use it on my face, I think it'll take some time before it's finished.

Does it moisturise my skin?
At first I was a bit afraid that it was a bit too oily for my face (extremely oily face >.<) but the next morning I woke up with a nice and smooth skin. Me loves! It doesn't break me out or anything. So yeah, it definitely moisturises my skin. Leaving it feeling soft.

Does it lighten my skin?
I think it gradually lightens my skin. Of course you won't see fast results. But I keep getting new scars (bad me) so it's kinda hard to see where the scars appear and disappear.

And although it says Royal Jelly, it isn't very high on the ingredient list...

Something for you if:

• You are all into natural stuff, for a good price
• You love the smell of bees wax
• You want to lighten your scars

Skip it if:

• You can't stand the smell of bees wax
• You consider €9,49 as expensive (which I think is ridiculous, it's ALL natural ^^)
• You're really aiming for something with a lot of Royal Jelly

Overall I'm very happy that I bought this product ^^ It makes my skin soft and it's a natural product.

Also I have a question for all the girls from Singapore! My father is going to Singapore for business and I need to know some names of good stores. I don't really know if I should trust his fashion sense but... If those shops also have websites it'd also be nice to know, so I can already pick out some stuff and make a wishlist.

The Body Shop Pure Detox mask Review

I know, I'm bad at reviews >.< but still I want to help you guys. So this time a review on The Body Shop Pure Detox Clarifying Clay Mask.

picture isn't from me ;)

It contains: Wasabi, algae and Dead-Sea mud. They promise to give your skin feeling fresh and looking radiant...

This mask isn't specifically for you face, you can also use it for you body. When you apply it your face feels warm, probably because of the wasabi :3. It doesn't smell bad but I won't say that I love the smell,,, it's just normal smell, not annoying or so.

Directions: Apply to wet skin. Smooth over body, mask warms on application, then rinse after 15 minutes. Maximise results by wrapping treated area in plastic body wrap. With moisturising Community Trade marula oil. If product gets in eyes rins with clean water. 

Apologies for my "stoned" face... must've been tired

Here I've cleansed my face and it's ready for mask appliance ;) See the damn pimples...? Yeah,, they suck

Applied it all over my face, as you can see I'm so super photogenic... *cough* *cough* also more apologies because I didn't feel like editing the pictures,, looks a bit too bright here >.<

And a clean face again...

Results...? My pimples aren't gone and I must say I still have lots of them left... maybe they're just too annoying. What I did feel was that my skin was pretty soft and fluffy. The first time I removed the mask my face was burning like hell! I didn't like it that much... but after a few times I kinda got used to it, now I see it as a kinda burning feeling, but it's not bad or so xd.

I always thought clay masks would dry up "hard" (you know, as if you can't move your face anymore) But this one doesn't! (good if you don't like that feeling) unfortunately for me, when it doesn't dry up that hard I feel like it doesn't purify and cleanse (pull out those ugly black heads) as good.

I did once use it for a spot treatment, and the next day my pimple had pus coming out... (ok this sounds gross!) I think it was kinda good, but I haven't tried it for a 2nd time so I'm not sure if the mask did that.

Be careful if you have sensitive skin! I did have a slightly red skin after removing the mask (maybe it was due to the "heat") I also saw in the ingredients that it contains Silicon (mask contains Dimethicone) so if you want to avoid silicons I advise you to avoid this. For me, it doesn't matter, because in this case it didn't break me out or anything so...

Overall, I think the mask is nice and especially in winter because it feels nice and warm. Afterwards your skin feels soft, but unfortunately it doesn't really help against those blemishes =( which is a bummer. But I won't buy this a second time because it's not as deep cleansing as I thought/hoped it would be.

xx

So I updated it a bit, since I'm getting more views now and the previous sucked very bad. Hope it has improved a bit >_<"

Sephora Lip Gloss Review

Yay~ another review again! This time a review on Sephora's ultra-shine lipgloss in 28.

The colour of the lip gloss is red, it kinda reminds me of raspberries. It comes with a sponge applicator. Let's go to the swatches~

Without lip gloss

With lip gloss~ 

As you can see it gives a nice red colour. If you build up more layers it will become darker, of course. But for this swatch I only applied 1 quick layer (I was in a hurry >.< sloppy application)

The smell is a bit sweet, it doesn't smell awful (I've smelled some really awful gloss in the past >.< yuck) so yay for that.

The gloss is sticky, but not ultra-sticky. It will survive a drink, if you do it carefully. But unfortunately it doesn't survive my trip to school (cycling, is there even a gloss that'll last 30 min. cycling?)

Yays~:

• Sweet, red colour
• Nice smell
• Quite sticky, will be able to survive a drink
• Sponge applicator (if you like sponge applicators)
• Shiny finish

Oh no~!:

• Doesn't survive a cycling trip

If you want a nice red lip gloss. Buy it~! Unfortunately I forgot the price >.< so I can't really judge by that. Overall I do like this lip gloss. Though sometimes I get the feeling red doesn't really look good on me, but yeah...

Enjoy your day~~~

Max Factor Lash Extension Review

I've been using this mascara for a few months now and I figured since I started blogging I could write a review about it :3. It's a waterproof mascara and the colour is just black.

Apparently it should make your lashes longer. Since I don't have pictures and can't take clear pictures I will just tell you in words how it worked/didn't work for me. 

I'd say, it isn't a super product for me, my lashes look almost the same (only a bit longer than before I applied mascara). This could be just me and I don't necessarily want to be really negative about this one (because it does do something :)). I just think there are better mascaras out there that will make my lashes longer. But maybe it's just because I have small lashes >.< (I don't know :/) or is it like you have to apply many many layers before you see more? I am quite afraid to get big clumpy lashes and me doesn't like those. 

Other remarks, though not from me, but from my sister. She said that everytime she took off the mascara (is this the correct way to say it =-= I don't know :')) she lost a lot of lashes (like they fell out or so :') is that correct English?). I told her that it doesn't necessarily have to do with this mascara but it could also be because it's waterproof. But maybe it is the mascara :') Lol if you want to be ultra sure to not lose lashes, don't buy this.

I almost forgot to mention that during the day, I sometimes notice, there are small black dots (ultra-mini-clumps?) below my eyes, from the mascara, so it kind of "chips" during the day and I find those small black dots. Me doesn't like that either >.< and I'm 100% sure it's from the mascara (hehe,,, I know at least that much)

Quick summary:

Lash extension as they promise: Tiny bit, not like: "whoa,, are these my lashes! They're so long!" no, just a bit longer

Black: Well, my lashes are already black >.<

You have to apply quite a lot of layers if you want something to be really visible, like thicker lashes or so (watch out that they don't become thick clumpy ones >.<) and during the day, after a while "pieces" of mascara chip off.

I don't think I would buy this a second time, because I think you can get better mascaras for maybe the same price or less for something that does the same job as this one. 

Hope this review was useful in any way... >.< Hopefully with the next mascara review, I know how to take good pictures of my lashes! ;)

Max Factor Kohl Pencil

I bought this pencil quite a while ago, but since I have a blog now I might as well write a review about it. My first one ^^.

It's not a super hard pencil, but it's not super creamy either (I have a creamier one). I apply this on my water line, so my eyes will look bigger ^^ and more awake. 

(please don't mind my eyebrows >.<)

As you can see, you don't see a lot and the line disappears really fast. I'm not satisfied with this pencil :/ This is my first white eye pencil but I think it's not a good one. Anyone any other suggestions on eye pencils?

My conclusion, don't buy Max Factor Kohl Pencil's. They suck, or is it just this one?

Hehe, my first review ;) Hope it is any useful. Since I don't have a lot experience yet >.< sorry!

xoxo
