Disappointing Products


Since I'm not feeling so great at the moment, this will be the time to make this post! lol

These are products that haven't worked for me, but they may work for you.
BUT I will explain why they didn't work for me, etc.

Starting from the top left (clockwise):

Etude House Makeup Sponge
This sponge is not as soft as I had imagined... it's actually quite stiff and reminds me of
those wedge sponges you get at the Dollar store. I tried to spray it with water to dampen
it, as well as soaking and wringing out the water with the whole sponge. Neither way
worked with how I wanted for applying my foundation. It was kind of stiff and didn't have
enough of that 'bounce' you want from a makeup sponge. I found that the wedge sponges
from Quo worked so much better than this.

The Face Shop Cherry Blossom Hair Mist
Okay, this is my fault. I don't even know why I bought this because I'm not into fragrances
and why would I need a hair mist... I don't know >< It's one of those products where you
just kind of pick up even though you don't need it at all. I like the scent from the opening of
the spray but it's kind of strong once you spray it. It's supposed to help with the sebum at
the roots of your hair, but I didn't find that it did anything at all.

Vichy Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Concealing stick
I have light skin, so this didn't work for me because the concealer is a bit orange. It might
work with people who have medium skin, or if you have a bit of a tan. It's creamy enough
to blend with your fingers though, so can come in handy, but since this is the only shade they
had for this particular product, I think it's a fail >>

Quo Heated Eyelash Curler
So, I've always wanted to try the Panasonic heated eyelash curlers, so when I saw this at
Shoppers Drug Mart, I was like oh cool. This doesn't work at all. It feels nice against your
lashes because it warms up, but it literally did nothing but warm up my eyelashes.

indecisiveness


I decided to order a toner on iherb.com on March 13 and just got my
package this morning... I have been waiting forever! or at least it seemed
like it >< I've been trying to look for more natural, basic, inexpensive
alternatives when buying skincare. I used to look for products that would
contain a ton of ingredients, but now I realized that simple is better.

For new customers, you get $5 off your first purchase.
I have a personal code... feel free to use it :p IJI628

For a toner, I was looking for something that contained witch hazel, rose water,
and some form of a moisturizing ingredient = Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel
with Aloe Vera toner! :) what a lovely match :)

I believe this was around $6-7 and because it was my first time shopping
on there, I received an $8 discount for the month of March (usually $5).
Shipping was $6, so I basically paid $6 for this toner + shipping :D but
now I realized that I should have ordered more... because of the shipping
time >< I wanted to try the Acure dry shampoo but they were out of
stock... then the next day after I ordered, they were in stock -.-

After class, I decided to go to Shoppers to pick up a few items, since some of
the things I eventually need/wanted were on sale :D plus I had a coupon to get
20x the points :p so I couldn't let that opportunity get away :p

I picked up the Livingetc magazine, which is now currently my favourite
living/interior design magazine :) I also picked up my go-to acne treatment,
the Vichy Normaderm Active Anti-Imperfection Concentrate. I have always
wanted to try their acne concealer stick, so I picked that up as well. I thought
it would be a good item to have in my purse, to the beach, to travel, etc :)

I have been hunting for a new eyelash curler and the Quo eyelash curler (in gold),
has clearly and ultimately FAILED me >> it's too wide and flat for my eye shape ><
I think I'm going to sell it, as I already opened the package :( I was choosing between
the Quo and the Revlon, I should have gone with my instincts and went with Revlon -.-
The Quo eyelash curler does curl well though, just needs a bit of adjusting to :(

Last item... my Schick Quattro :) self explanatory :p

no nail post this week sorry :( I'm supposed to go get an MRI scan this Friday
on my hand/arm, so my mom told me to not wear any nail polish? although I'm
still not sure how that relates... does it? =\
