Sinful Colors Professional Rise and Shine Swatch/Review

HI! Gloria is here with a review! :D

Sooo… I got a nail polish from Sinful Colors Professional from Walgreens because it was $2. I heard lots of great stuff about this product so I bought it but when I used it, I was honestly disappointed. I got the color Rise and Shine. The color really changes with the lighting my pictures underneath will show you what I mean. So for this nail polish you absolutely need a base coat. This nail polish stains your nails! I tried it on the first time without a base and I needed around FIVE coats because it was see through. And when I took it off my nails had this weird light green color left on it for around 2-3 days. :( When I applied the color I thought it was a bit too dull for my taste. That’s why you also need a top coat.

I also had a friend use it and she did a base coat, 2 coats of the Rise and Shine, and then a top coat but it chipped after a day. :(

I was really disappointed. Maybe it was just the color I picked? I’m not sure.

Color wise I would rate it a 5/10

Quality wise I give it a 3/10

Overall 4/10

So this product is a really big EH for me.... What do you think?

Nail Updates

Hime Gyaru style this time (:
This is actually one of the few sets that i've done for myself. I am pretty proud of myself due to the fact that I've completed this in one sitting. It took me about an approx. 2 hours. I don't have 1.5mm or 2mm clear Swarovski crystals which means i had to resort to my plastic acrylics ones. You can totally tell the difference in quality. I wore these to school yesterday and quite a number of people asked if it was heavy. 

I am thinking of selling some of my nail art works online, but what do you guys think about it?

Simple Gyaru's Makeup tutorial

Hello Lovelies (:

I've been working on this makeup tutorial for a while now, and now its finally done. Originally, I've wanted to make a video tutorial and upload to Youtube. I've actually tried recording it with my camera, but it was a total failure. I think for now, im just gonna make these as picture tutorials. Gloria edited those pictures into video. It's pretty much the same thing as the pictures but in a video format. It had took me quite a while to edit all those pictures. Please bare with me?

This is a really simple makeup for the Gals out there~~ It really only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to do which is perfect for those who are in a rush to get out of the house, school..etc.

Oh here's the link to the video:

Aussie ;; 3 Minute Miracle [deeeeeeep conditioner]


Felicia! ;)


I just got this super super awesome product a few days ago and i just HAD to get online and share this products with everyone (:

I really got to say though. This is one of the best deep conditioners out there. And believe me when i say that, considering i've been in search for a deep conditioner that really works. This product was a mere $3 in Wal-greens!!! I was trying to decide between 3 minute miracle or Neutrogena's Triple moisture deep conditioner, but im glad i've made the choice of Aussie's conditioner.

I have really damaging long hair due to the fact that i use heat products rather often. Hair extensions pretty much screwed my hair over as well. My hair is in a really pathetic state for a hair dyeing virgin. I was rather skeptical about this conditioner at first, but it really did made my hair super super soft and less tangled. It had immediate result. You can pretty much feel the difference in the first wash. Its the first time since in ages that my hair had felt the way it did after washing the first wash. I loved the packaging as well. All you really have to do is to squeeze the bottle and the conditioner just comes right out at the bottom. From what i can tell from the bottle, you can use the conditioner to the last bits.

The only thing that i can think of that might make a person hesitate on buying the product would probably the smell of it. The conditioner has a "pina colada" smell to it. Kinda coconut-ty but i loved it (:.

A word of warning though, its best to concentrate the conditioner on the tips instead of roots. You might just get oily hair the next day instead.

-------------------------------------------------------

Pros:
* super super super cheap. ($3)
* works very well, result can be seen after the first wash.
*Super clever packaging. You can get you money's worth

Cons:
* The "pina colada" smell might throw someone off.



Smell: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
-----------------------
Overall: 4.7/5

CLINIQUE 3 Step Skin Care

Gloria! :)
I use my products for a while before I have my say on them so if I recommend them I really mean it.

Cleanser:



I used the Liquid facial soap mild.
I liked it! It didn’t dry out my skin and my face felt clean and fresh after using it.



Toner:



I got the mild clarifying lotion
This was a pretty nice toner. The thing I like about it was that there was no alcohol in it so it didn’t sting my face when I used it. And since there was no alcohol or fragrances it didn’t dry out my skin either. Since there is no alcohol in this toner you have to shake it before you use it. It also has salicylic acid and glycol (it’s in the ingredients section check for it). The salicylic acid will help get rid of the acne while the glycol will help moisturize the skin.



Moisturizer:



I got the dramatically different moisturizing gel.
Even though it was a gel it felt extremely light on my face so it was nice and it also felt very natural. It’s oil free so you not have a shiny face. Sometimes I put it on twice because it doesn’t moisturize my face enough. The bad part about his product is that it does not have sunscreen so you need to put sunscreen on top of this when you go outside. For me this product was too light during the winter time so you might need a different product.

Astringent

Gloria:)

So I've been using this astringent for some time and I though it was pretty good so I'm going to write a review for it.

Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent:






I have sensitive skin so this stung and first but it works. This product has salicylic acid which is a very popular acne medicine. It dries out your skins a bit so make sure you use moisturizer after you use this product. I use this product on my problem areas on my face and it takes care of the job in a jiffy. The astringent doesn't really smell good and I suggest not to smell it because it will sting. When you apply this product near your nose breath through our mouth or hold your breath.

If I were to rate this product I would give it a 8 out of 10 because it dries and stings your skin.
