Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color

I have never really been a fan of Sally Hansen nail varnishes. Whenever I've worn them, they've only been able to last one or two days on my nails. 
For some time I have wanted a yellow nail varnish and this, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in no. 27 Mellow Yellow, was the only shade of yellow I could find that I liked. 


The other Sally Hansen nail varnishes may not be very long lasting, but this definately is. I have a tendency to scratch some of the nail varnish off after wearing it for some days, but I couldn't really scratch any of this off.
The brush is slim which makes it easy to control, so I don't get the varnish all over my fingers when I put it on.
The only downfall about this nail varnish is the consistency, it's very fluidy, so it's difficult to get an even color all over the nail. But I still like it very much and I will definately buy some more Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Colors.

   What do you think about the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Colors??

L'ORÉAL Triple Active Comfort Cleansing Milk and Toner Review


L'ORÉAL Dermo-Expertise Triple Active Comfort Cleansing Milk and Gentle Toner for Dry and Sensitive Skin

I decided to buy these products, because I had been getting some dry spots and a few breakouts, which I hoped they could help me get rid off. I was also advised them as a good cheap facial cleaner at the store I bought them in. And because of my dry spots I was advised the version for dry and sensitive skin.

I used these products for a little more than a week. I used them exactly as it says on the bottles to do, twice a day, the cleansing milk first on a cotton bud and then the toner.

After the first couple of uses I was pretty pleased with them, they made my skin feel much more smooth and soft. But after the third use I began to worry, since I started getting little red spots all over my face.
You can get breakouts from using new products, so I kept using them, hoping for the spots to go away.

I used them several more times which only resulted in many more spots, so I finally stopped using them.

I regret using these products so much. They made my skin look horrible, worse than it has ever looked, and it took me weeks to get rid of the spots.

I wouldn't recommend these products to anyone. It's some of the worst products I have ever used.

Review on Garnier BB Cream

 

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector - Combination To Oily Skin 

Garnier makes, of my knowledge, 3 different BB creams one for sensitive skin, one for normal to dry skin and the one I've got oily to combination skin.  
The one for combination to oily skin comes in two different shades, a light one, the one I have and a medium one.
   
I have used the product every day for a little more than a week now, and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
 It does have a few flaws though.  

If I do my daily routine, using my Clinique three step system, my moisturizing spray, use my moisture surge on my dry spots, and then use the BB cream, my skin gets a bit greasy. Putting some powder on top of it easily gets rid of it though.  
If you don't use anything but the BB cream as your moisturizer, I don't believe any powder will be necessary.  

It's not a super easy to work with product, I find that if you're not quick and carefull at putting it on it easily streaks, because the skin absorbes it very quickly. 

Otherwise I really like the product for its undertones, I find that many drugstore concealers, BB creams and foundations in the light shades have reddish undertones, but this product has yellow undertones which fits perfectly with my yellow/greenish undertones. I also like it for its amount of coverage, it doesn't give a full coverage, but it does cover well for a BB cream.   

I'am probably going to purchase this product again, but I will also try out others and see if I can find a better one. 

Do you know of any good BB creams I should try?? :)
