Express Reviews: Pimple Treatments, ModelCo Lash + Brow Growth Stimulator, Kerastase Noctogenist Spray.

Alrighty, Long reviews aren't really my thing. So basically Ill give you my humble opinion on various products, followed by ratings out of 10 for the following:
  • Value for Money
  • Quality of Packaging
  • Quality of Product

ModelCo Lash + Brow Growth Stimulator

AUD$42

Claims: " LASH + BROW Growth Stimulator is your beauty secret weapon for voluptuous lashes and fuller thicker brows in just 14 days! This unique wonder product restores thin lashes and over plucked brows with a deep conditioning blend of vitamins and proteins that prevents damage from free radicals to the hair follicle while simultaneously working to maintain healthier hair growth. "

My Opinion: 14 days? Nah. I used it every night for almost 2months and it did not imrpove my lashes. Not the length, volume, or health. However, There are reviews saying good things about this product (thats why I purchased it in the first place) so I still encourage people to try it out if they wish, and see if it works for them!!!

Value for Money: 0/10 (cos it didnt work for me) 6/10 (if it had worked, its alot cheaper than the other $150 versions out there!!)

Quality of Packaging: 8/10 (Simply, modern)

Notes: Only use at night. If you wear it during the day, you cannot apply mascara on top!! It clumps lashes together!!

Caution: Avoid getting it in your eyes - Stings like a bitch!!!

Kerastase Noctogenist Spray

AUD $46.50

Claims: (from back of product) " Overnight revitalizing treatment, renewing effect - For fine, dull, tired looking hair. Throughout the night, the enriched formula nourishes and portects the hair fibre. In the morning hair is refreshed, light, radiant and feels renewed. Spray over lengths and ends of dry or towel dried hair. INstantly absorbed and does not weigh down hair.

My Opinion: It really does leave the hair soft and silky in the morning!!! However it didnt perform any miracles, its more of a smoother and detangler. It smells delicious, and the spray is light and absorbs quickly.

Value for Money: 6/10 (if it weren't so expensive Id buy it again!! However, Ill be trying out cheaper versions.)

Quality of Packaging: 5/10 (not that great, the supermarket brands look just as good. However the brand itself entices my to buy products like these!! Id much rather Kerastase on my dressing table rather than Tresemme - Ps I love Tresemme!)

Note: Its tempting to use too much product because it feels like their isnt enough product on the hair, I used way too much for the first 2weeks and it emptied out half the bottle!! I only use 3-5 "spritzes" now and it feels just as good as when I used 10+ !!

Pimple Problem?


L2R: Garnier SOS Pen, Nivea bye-bye Spot, Clearasil Blocker Pen.

Garnier SOS Pen

Pros:

Works well.

Cons:

Cant wear under makeup, causes flaking.

Dries out skin.

The weird smell gets to me.

Nivea Bye Bye Spot

Pros:

Works well!! Had a pimple and put some of this on it at 4pm and then later before bed, and noticed a dramatic difference the next day!!!

Nifty packaging. Kinda "Stylish" for a pimple treatment!!

Does not leave skin dry.

Cons:

You have to "press" the pen onto your skin, and if you have a sore pimple, it kinda hurts!! I mean you dont have to like push down hard or anything, but its still a tad rough!!

Clearasil Blocker Pen

Pros:

Cool concept. Like a twist biro full of pimple fighting stuff.

Cons:

Doesnt actually work. (For me)

Dries out skin.

Cant wear under makeup, causes flaking.

Which One Would I Re Purchase?

Nivea Bye Bye Spot Pen.

Looking for a natural solution? Try pure Tea Tree Oil. Works soooo well!!! Not as convenient as these 3, because you have to use a cotton bud and dip it in the oil. Maybe Im just lazy :)

Shortie Shorts

So today was the warmest day Adelaide has had for 3 months!!! So I decided to celebrate this (because I loveeeee warm weather!) by applying a spot of fake tan, thank you Nivea Summer Beauty, and cutting up a pair of Dotti jeans into short shorts!


There is one little problem with these semi-home made shorts.. I had to cut through the pockets so they'd be short enough! So this arvo I was walking from my neighbourhood visiting a friend and only had my lipgloss and Mobile. So I put on my lipgloss (I do this religiously.. my boyf gets annoyed cos my lips are always "sticky".. How suss.) and then shoved the lipgloss in my pocket and kept walking, then something hit my leg and I was like WTF!? and looked down to see my lipgloss. Anyways, so great story right! Haha :)
Oh and I have run out of the foundation I used for when Im "tanned" - MAC NC20.. Yupp! thats right, NC20 is tan on me! Im defnitely albi :)
Ps Once again sorry about the pictures! My camera goes fuzzy without a flash, So I always have to use flash! Ughhh and the flash makes my face like whiter than it usually is. Oh wells! :(
Pps Thats my bro's room.. Uggghh is anyone jealous of the mirror he has!? I wanted one :(

I havent had my HG mascara - Loreal Telesopic - For almost a month now! Due to my 'lack of funds' aka NO JOB! So I sneakily added it to the shopping trolley because I know my mum has a hard time saying No to me infront of other people (The check out chick.. Who giggled when my mum accidently swung her keys in my face lol :( ouch). Hopefully Im not the only one that uses my mothers weaknesses against her for my own benefit! :( Oh wells, This is the best best BESTEST mascara in the whole entire world! Ive used it since I had decided to rip of false eyelashes, and with the false eyelashes came some of my real ones! This mascara makes it seem like that incident never happened! Thanks Loreal :D
Here's some other things I got:


Clockwise from Top Left: Swisspers, Vanilla Cupcake with Lovehearts (was only 70cents!), Cadbury Cherry Ripes, Loreal Telescopic Mascara, Schwarzkopf Oil Nutritive Repair Butter Treatment, Woolworths Select Body Sponge and the Cosmo September issue!
I also got a new Belly Ring! :) Its a gun with blue diamantes!!! Pow Pow!

Ps Going to do a review on the Schwarkopf hair treatment tomorrow! Ive always tri the Schwarzkopf shine treatment in the same range and didn't particular like that one, so hopefully this one will be a tad better! Stay tuned :)
