Favourites - 2012 Edition 10 Jan 2013 2:31 PM (12 years ago)

Lets just get into it!

Last year I found my self going for the same things over and over. I will admit, I am a little bias. Since I started working for Biotherm, I've been using nothing but their skin care. I've actually found a regime that works for me. Out of all the products I've tried over 2012, Bioderma has to be by far my favourite.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O - This gets rid of all the crap on my face like nothing else does. It even removes the Benefit They're Real mascara that does not budge.

What the Bioderma site had to say
At the cutting edge of innovation, BIODERMA has pioneered micellar solutions. Specially formulated for sensitive, normal to dry skins, the Sensibio H2O micelle solution gently cleanses face and eyes. It removes water-resistant make-up. The micelles contained in its formula effectively micro-emulsify impurities while maintaining the skin’s balance (soap-free, physiological pH).

Biotherm Aquasource 24hr skin perfecting moisturizer
My thoughts - this cream gives a great cooling effect. It's not quite a gel and not quite a cream. It leaves me with the perfect amount of moisture.

Here's what the biotherm site had to say
Biotherm creates its 1st 24hr moisturizer – perfecting care, enriched with Aqualiss complex. It concentrates the equivalent of 5,000 litres of thermal spring water* and micro-spheres filled with perfecting ingredients to replump the skin’s hydration mattress and smooth skin.

Biotherm Aquasource Nuit
A jelly that gives you intense hydration over night. I find I don't necessarily have to use a moisturizer with this unless I'm feeling overly dry.

Site
AQUASOURCE Nuit contains revolutionary skin care technology to specifically address the overnight hydration needs of women. Concentrated in Mannose, Thermal Plankton Cellular Water and P. Antarctica, a micro-organism that has the unique ability to retain water, Aquasource Nuit helps replenish skin’s water reserves. Upon wakening, the skin looks beautiful and more luminous, day after day.

Biotherm Source Therapie 7
My daytime serum, since I've started using it I've found I have a softer and more even skin tone.

Site
Over 7 years of legendary perfection, and now a new efficiency: 7 inonized minerals to catalyze cellular metabolism, 7 benefits concentrated in one serum.
7 Benefits: Velvety-soft touch, smooth skin, hydration, regeneration, tight pores, matte skin and an even tone.



Biotherm Aquasource Superserum
I hate winter, absolutely hate. Dry skin, flakiness, itchiness, cold. For the days I feel like winter is especially draining my will to live I use the Aquasource Superserum. It gives me that extra hydration I need to not tear my face off.

Site
In a breakthrough ultra-moisturizing formula, Biotherm biologists have succeeded in concentrating 5,000 litres of thermal spring water* and combining it with Himalayan Pink Salt. Also known as “the salt of life”, this Pink Salt is exceptionally pure and was formed over 300 million years ago, containing more than 70 minerals and trace elements essential to healthy cell structure. The ultra-fine texture of Aquasource Superserum insulates the skin from environmental harm while letting it breathe properly. This formula effectively protects the skin from dehydration and allows it to maintain an optimal level of moisture, even when tested under extreme conditions such as wind, cold, heat and air conditioning.

Nars Concealer
This concealer is by far my favourite for under eye circles. The shade Chantilly is just slightly lighter than my skin tone (didn't think it was possible!) and it has a creamy texture that blends amazingly and stays all day. I do not recommend this for blemishes.

Site
Brilliantly obscures imperfections and dark spots with a creamy, vitamin-rich formula that nourishes the skin for all-day wear. Crease-proof and easily blendable for a flawless finish.

Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzer
I've posted about this product before, this is not only a 2012 favourite, but an all time favourite as well! It isn't too dark or orangey for my face and doesn't have too much shimmer. I don't use this all over my face (more of a blush). Who wants to look like an Oompa Loompa?

Site
What It Is:
Our lovely little leopard bronzer combines gorgeous shades of golden bronzes, gilded pinks and neutral fawns to brighten skin and create a glorious all over glow that will have you looking sun-kissed any time of the year.
All Skin Tones: Fair to medium skin tones are enriched with warmth while deeper skins are infused with a healthy radiance.
Natural Finish: Beautifying combination looks natural when applied and creates a look that lasts for hours.

Benefit They're Real Mascara
This mascara is amazing! It lasts all day and my lashes look amazing. The only downfall I have with this product is it's a bitch to remove! Good complaint right?

Site
Why we love it
They're real! lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates. Our jet black, long-wearing formula won’t smudge or dry out. A specially designed brush reveals lashes you never knew you had!
94% saw dramatic length & volume*
90% saw base-to-tip curl*
94% saw visible lift*
100% saw long-wearing results*
*Results observed in a consumer panel survey

So that would be the end of my favourite products for the year! Let me know what your favourite products are! Is there something you recommend or would like me to try out? Let me know I. The comments! Also, I'm sorry about the formatting! I can't really do anything on this iPad!

Terrible Tuesday 2 Oct 2012 11:57 AM (12 years ago)

Hey guys!


Terrible Tuesday will be a little blurb on a product that I've tried and will NOT be repurchasing.  Today's will be Balea's 3 in 1 face cleansing cloths for all skin types (cleansing, toner and eye makeup remover).  I've been looking for a new makeup wipe since my face decided to hate me.  I picked these up at Shoppers for a very inexpensive $2.99.  The physical quality of the wipe are great. They're thick, very moist ( I hate that word), and they do a pretty good job at removing makeup. However, the scent is very overpowering. It also burns the eyes. This wouldn't be a product I would repurchase.

NOTD: Blue Gradient 8 May 2011 7:53 PM (13 years ago)

Hey hey hey!
Tonight I thought I would try gradient again (I have done it before, and I found it such a pain, and I also found it very difficult), and it came out really good!
Thanks goes out to Rebecca of rebecca likes nails. If you haven't check out her blog, do it now! The gradient tutorial will deffinatly help anyone who isn't comfortable with it yet.
K, so here are my nails!!
I failed at stamping my thumb :(

Yayyyyy! :)
Products used and LOTS more pictures after the jump. I took a lot of pictures, I'm sorry. Hahaha.

Here's a close up of one of my fingers... neat huh?




PRODUCTS USED:
I love the way this came out, and I'm happy I tried it again. It's still really time consuming, but the outcome is so worth it. I think I'll be doing it more often!

What do you think? Do you like doing gradients?

NOTD: Silver Flowers 6 May 2011 7:38 AM (13 years ago)

Hey Guys!

Here's another NOTD brought to you by my BM plates, haha.


PRODUCTS USED:
The colour "Hypnotic" actually has a greenish gold shimmer in it, but you can't see it at all in the picture. ALSO, this was my first time using this polish, and it completely dyed my nails. I used base coat and everything!! I should take a picture of them later, because they are a terrible greenish blue colour.
Not that my nails are ever plain anyways, but still.

Time to get ready for work I suppose!
Bye!

NOTD: Cupcake nails!! 5 May 2011 6:43 PM (13 years ago)

Hey Guys!
K, so, anyone who knows me, knows I love cupcakes. Everything about them. Loves. Cupcakes.
So, when I seen cupcake nails circulating on google, I had to do them...
I first did them on my friend Ashley (they were a part of her birthday nails seen here!!), and I loved them. A few nights ago I decided to give them a go again, and I did all of my fingers with cupcakes on them :)
The only thing I would have changed is my colour choices. I don't know how I feel about the yellow cups. Hahaha.
Oh, I also bought a crazy florescent light bulb too, so Im hoping that will make some of my pictures brighter.
Here they areee:

More pic's and products used after the jump!

Anna's giveaway! 4 May 2011 7:26 PM (13 years ago)

Hey guys!

I just want to say thank to Anna @ Embellishments Beauty for the awesome giveaway that she held. We were fortunate enough to win this, and we just wanted to show everyone what we recieved :)

We Wonnnnnnnnn:

Philosophy Red Velvet Cake shampoo/body wash/bubble bath!! - SO EXCITING. It actually smells like red velvet cake. I can't wait to try it out, I heard that it's awesome. It also has a recipe on the front for red velvet cake.. Has anyone ever tried that? I have never made red velvet cake, and I'm half tempted to try using that recipe this weekend for mothers day!

Huge Lips Skinny Hips Lip Gloss in "No Panty Lines" - Jenny stole this from me, for review purposes, so you'll be hearing from her soon!

Wet N' Wild Color Icon Trio in "Silent Treatment" - I have never tried wet n' wild eye shadows before, but now I think I will be buying them more often! They are actually so pigmented, and they have a nice texture. They're not to powdery, and they are silky smooth. Love themmmmm.


Bert's Bee's Lemon Cuticle Butter - This is an automatic win. I love Burt's Bee's cuticle butter.

All of this was in a cute pink gift bag (in the first photo), with bright orange tissue paper! So cute :)
Anna also stuck a note onto the gift bag as well, which was a very cute idea. I really love the stationary!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Anna!

NOTD: Apple Mani 3 May 2011 7:57 AM (13 years ago)

Hey Guys!
Just posting a NOTD before I head to work. For some reason I came up with apples last night when I wanted to do my nails.. I really don't know where it came from, and I actually don't even like eating red apples, but I thought this idea would be really cute!
Yayyyy Apples!
PRODUCTS USED:

I think it came out cute, the only thing you can't see in this picture is the sparkle that "Fuchsia  Wife" gave the apples.
I think I might try some other fruit mani's, I think it could go over well!
They might be cute for summer :)
What do you think, yes? No? Maybe?


Time for me to go to work!!
Byeeee!!

NOTD: Skittles 29 Apr 2011 7:59 AM (13 years ago)

Hey guys!

I did this 'skittles' mani, and I think it turned out great. For those of you who are unfarmilliar with the term (when I first heard of it, all I could think of was candy, haha), you have to have five different designs on one hand.
Honestly, you could do each finger differently, if you wanted, but I decided to keep both hands the same, but switch the fingers up a bit.

I loved doing this! I was sososososooooooooooooooooo happy with the polkadots! I did them with my dotting tool, and I think I did them pretty well.
What do you think? Have you ever done skittles?

PRODUCTS USED:

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

NOTD: Pokemon Nails - Pokeballs! 28 Apr 2011 7:40 PM (13 years ago)

Hi guys!

So, I ordered some BM plates off of ebay a while ago, and they finally arrived! I'm so excited to try them out!! 
I got the set of 21 plates, plus the seller threw in 4 extra plates, all for the price of only $11.99!
The only thing I don't really like about the BM plates is that the full coverage stamps seem to be a bit more narrow than regular konad. Oh well, I can't complain for the price.


Okay, on to the NOTD! I seen these plastered all over the internet, and I thought they were so cute! I did these a few days ago, and honestly, they were so amazingly easy to do.
Pokeballs! Yayyyyyy!


I remember going to Burger King as a kid and buying the Pokeballs they used to sell.
I wish I still had them, it would have been awesome to hold while showing off these beauties!





 PRODUCTS USED:





On a sad note, I have chopped off all my nails. They are now back to short nubs :(
They are also soooo dry and brittle. I'm starting to think it's not only the weather, but also the chemicals I use at work. Hmmm...

ALSO OUR GIVEAWAY ENDS VERY SOON.
ENTER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye! :)

NOTD: Silverella Glitters! 26 Apr 2011 4:25 PM (13 years ago)

Hey Guys,
I hope all of you had a great easter!! I know that I did.
My easter was filled with lots of sour keys, mini eggs, and episodes of fresh prince (best gift everrr).

Today I just wanted something quick and simple, so I just decided to pack some glitter onto my already painted nails. The glitter is 'Party of 5 Glitters' (we included one of these in the giveaway), and I loveeeeeee it. There is so much colourful glitter.

NOTD: Easter Nails Pt 3! Chicks with a twist :) 21 Apr 2011 7:18 PM (13 years ago)

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy guys!

This is a quick easter NOTD that I did last week.
I wanted to do chicks with bunny ears, hahaha. I don't really like how they came out, but that's okay. They were a little rushed, and it just didn't beat the bunny nails that I did a while ago.
My cuticles are actually terrible in this picture, but I had no time to moisturize because I was actually on a boat at the time (random, I know).
HERE IT IS!..

       PRODUCTS USED:

And on a very very sad note, I completely demolished one of my nails. It made a very clean break... Want to have a look? It might be painful to look at...  SO DEPRESSING!!!!
I know, I'm dramatic, but now I don't have pretty nails!!
Oh, a bit of this break was caused by moving around lots of merchandise at my work today, but the finale was when i was tapping my hands/fingers on my steering wheel while listening to music... that's when the real damage happened.
I really need to file it down, which means the other will probably be going too.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings, haha. I'm probably going to do another NOTD tonight... I'll keep you guys posted!

-Kaylie

Oh yeah, don't forget to enter our giveaway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVER 100 FOLLOWERS!!! 20 Apr 2011 7:02 PM (13 years ago)

Hey guys! 

THANK YOU!!

I just wanted to post on behalf of Jenny and I, to say thank you to all of our followers out there.
You guys are so awesome, and we appreciate each and every one of you.
Honestly, I never ever expected to make it to 100, so this is very exciting.

I haven't been posting a lot lately because I have been swamped with work, and my sleeping pattern has also been messy in the last while. I promise, lot's of posts soon!

I actually broke a nail today, and i'm pretty sad, hahaha.

Anyways, I'm sorry for rambling, but once again THANKS!!

NOTD: Blue Marble Nails, Crackle! 15 Apr 2011 7:27 PM (13 years ago)

HI!
I got my license FINALLY on Wednesday. I totally should have had it years ago, but I just neglected to.. Oh! And I got it on my first try too! It's so awesome that I have it now! I finally have that little bit of freedom. Woohoo :D
I still need to work on my parking skills, but other than that, it's all good.


So! About the NOTD... I tried the water marbling for the second time, and I was happy with the outcome. I wish I did brighter colours, but oh well.
The picture was taken at night so the colour is crap, but it's the best I could do.
I tend to wear a lot of black, and I found all the blue kind of clashed with it. Instead of taking this off, I decided to switch it up a little and add OPI's Black Shatter to this mani.
I like the way it came out! 



 This picture of the black shatter was taken in the day (you can really tell the difference, haha). I like the result, but it might have been better if the colours underneath were brighter.

PRODUCTS USED:
 I think I'm going to try some more easter nails tomorrow.
I'm currently looking for my Seche Vite and I can't find it :S
I even have like...three bottles floating around but I can't seem to find one.
I really need a better way of storing my polish.

HOW DO YOU STORE YOUR POLISH?
I have around 200, and I pretty much have the good ones in a storage container with three compartments, and the other ones are in a wicker shelving unit. Sad days.

Have a good weekend!

NOTD: Simple Nail Art - Lacey Lilac, Life Saver! 15 Apr 2011 7:11 AM (13 years ago)

Hi Guys!

This is going to be very short and straight to the point! I have to be at work very soon, but I really wanted to post a NOTD for you guys, because there haven't been many posts lately.
This is a pretty simple design, it only requires three colours, and any combo would work. I chose some softer colours so they could be kinda Easter like.



 PRODUCTS USED:



I have another NOTD to post tonight, it's my second attempt at marble. Look's alright too!

NOTD: Easter Marble Nails! 11 Apr 2011 7:05 PM (13 years ago)

Hiiiiiiiiii Guyssssssssssssss,
I tried marbling on myself for the first time today. I have tried it on a friend once before and it half worked, so tonight I gave it another try.
I picked some bright colours that I thought might be suitable for easter, and this is how it turned out:

It turned out okay. The clean up is such a pain though, which is a turn off. I might try this again, I might not.

Foundation Trick! 10 Apr 2011 4:17 PM (13 years ago)

Since it's starting to warm up in most places, I'm here to share a little tip/trick for your foundation. Turn your medium to full coverage foundation into a lightweight version of its self! After applying your skincare routine, spritz Mac's Fix+ over your your face. Then lightly spritz a duo fibre foundation brush (I use Sigma's F50). Dab your foundation over your face and blend. This will give a thicker foundation a lighter coverage. It's also great for a foundation that's hard to blend. It also gives you an almost airbrushed look.

Try it out, let me know what you think!


Don't forget to enter our giveaway, it can found HERE!

Kaylie's Haul! 10 Apr 2011 7:31 AM (13 years ago)

Hey Guys!
I really wanted to do some new easter nails for you yesterday but I just couldn't find the time! I actually spent almost 5 hours decorating a cake for my boyfriend's grandmother's 80th birthday. It turned out to be a success, which is great, but it took so freakin' long. Sad days.
This week I have been all about the sales when it comes to buying nail polish, so I decided to make a haul post because I haven't in sooooooooo long. I'm trying to save money because I'm actually getting my drivers license (wayyyyy over due) next week, and I was also informed that I will be going on a trip to Calgary, Alberta in August.
So, here is my awesome money saving haul, ahaha.



I bought China Glaze's Bad Kitty, and yes, this one was actually regular price, BUT, I really like sparkles, and pink, so I needed it :).
Plus I honestly don't have anything like it, so i'm happy with it.

I bought these two Orly polishes at Sally's (Monroe's Red, and Razzle), and they were on clearance for only $2.99! I had to get them. They are my first Orly's so I am very excited to use them.


Only $17.00 for 4 Polishes!

Next, I heard from a local site I go on that some OPI's were on sale at Regis Salon, so I went there a few nights ago hoping they had some left, and they did. I got all of these for 60% Off! Honestly, how can you pass it up?
I'm not going to lie, they are nice colours but I doubt I would have picked them up at regular price. Maybe with the exception of 'Chop-Sticking To My Story', because I love this burnt orange colour.

I promise I will have a new Easter NOTD up by tonight! Hope your all haveing a great weekend!

If you didn't enter the giveaway we are having, do it now! Click here to enter!!

Have you had any great nail polish finds this week??
