I received this item as part of my October Topbox and decided it would be the first item I try out. I have a few skincare items waiting in limbo to be taken for a test drive, but I like to use them one at a time so that I can tell if any effects, good or bad, are actually a result of using that particular product, and not something else entirely. I have adult-onset acne and my usual regimen for facial cleansing consists of washing my face in the morning with Neutrogena All-in-1 Acne Control Daily Scrub and using Balea 3-in-1 Facial Cleaning Towelettes in the evening. Together they seemed to minimize my breakouts, but I am always on the lookout for the next great thing. Enter Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution. I'm replacing both of the aforementioned products and cleansing my face in the morning and before bed exclusively with Bioderma. It's a liquid, so you treat it as you would a toner, pour some on a cotton pad and wipe it gently across your face. Week one saw a massive breakout of red, itchy pimples all over my cheeks for about three days. I was inconvenienced, annoyed, embarrassed, but not overly concerned. Starting any new facial cleanser often gives me breakouts and I know well enough to give it some time to acclimate to the Bioderma. The second reason I wasn't too concerned yet was because I've been seeing a lot of posts lately accusing companies who manufacture acne products of putting something in the soaps and creams that actually make you break out so that you will continue to buy their product. I've also heard that Proactiv works wonders - until you stop using it. That being said, I don't know any of these things for a fact and I'm willing to try a product not made to fight acne to see how it stacks up. Boy, was I itchy, though! Around day four, the itch was gone, and the redness and pimples had begun to subside. My face definitely felt softer. I have an issue with the skin on the sides of my face - it looks normal, but if you touch it, it feels like sandpaper. Not fun, and embarrassing if someone touches it. I feel a definite difference in the softness of the skin all over, but it's most noticeable here because that area is what I use as the ultimate test. My face was already feeling less dry and oily (combination skin, here) and more even, just like skin I imagine normal people have. I also noticed a reduction in blackheads on my nose, which are the bane of my existence. I can't seem to get rid of them ever with just regular washing, no matter how hard I scrubbed or how much exfoliation I used. Biore face strips were my weekly go-to. Since they specifically mention removing water-resistant makeup, I decided to put on some waterproof mascara and see how easily I could remove it at the end of the day. I did take some rubbing, and three cotton pads, but Bioderma did, in fact, remove all of my mascara from my lashes and the skin around my eyes. Before I give you my final verdict, here's what Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution can do for you according to their website: Overall, this product did what it claimed it would do, my skin felt softer, cleaner and did not dry out after use. It removed my waterproof mascara and on the whole, this product does exactly what it claims it will do. Its also reasonably priced at $21.95 for a 250ml bottle at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I opened my mailbox today to find a lovely surprise - October's Topbox! What is Topbox, I hear you ask? It's a Canadian beauty subscription box. The cost is $12.00 per month and they ship you a mystery box with four full-sized products for you to enjoy. I say mystery because you don't know what you'll get until you receive your package and open it! When the people at Topbox are getting ready to put your box together, they'll send you an email in which you can head on over to their site and create your wishlist. They'll give you options, and you decide which one you prefer. Some are just a mystery box, other times it will be only a product or two of a higher value. You also have the option of paying a higher price and getting one of their limited edition or anniversary boxes, like Lou Lou or Chatelaine. These boxes are no mystery, they let you know exactly what you're getting in them. They also have a new 'greener' option available - skip the box and receive your product in a reusable mesh bag. I (obviously) opted for the box. It is my very first month and I really wanted my Topbox to come in a box. When they're ready to ship your box, they send you another email letting you know that your products are on their way and they also give you a tracking number, which is nice, but I really didn't need it since I received my package by Expresspost the next day (today). Let's get to the good stuff... I've been showing you pictures of the packaging, but what did my box contain? Voila! My little box of goodies. They also send a little info sheet so that you know what you received, retail prices and how to use it, which I always appreciate. Here's a closer look at what I received: Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution, 100ml Actual value of product received: $7.50 According to Bioderma's website, this product is: This looks like a great product. Especially since I often wear waterproof mascara which seems to be soap-proof also. I am interested to test out whether this will actually remove my makeup without too much scrubbing. China Glaze Nail Lacquer in X-TA-SEA #1306, 14ml Actual value of product received: $7.50 According to China Glaze's website, this product: LOVE purple! I am always excited to see nailpolish in any of the boxes I get. The colour has to be really horrendous or a duplicate for me to be unhappy. This colour is so vibrant, I'm excited to get it on my nails. Its a full sized bottle, which is also nice. I have never tried the China Glaze brand (shockingly), but I have read really great reviews about it. Lancome Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activating Concentrate, 5ml Actual value of product received: $19.10 According to Lancome's website, this product: This product looks really interesting, especially since I am just about out of my night cream. Super expensive, too. But it is Lancome, and I only expect the best from them. I was going to put this up on my for sale page, but after reading about it, I decided to keep it for myself! Benefit Cosmetics they're real! mascara, .01oz Actual value of product received: $9.67 According to Benefit Cosmetics' website, this product: Mascara. How do I love you, let me count the ways! Next to nailpolish, mascara is definitely my number 2 favorite beauty product. The colour is a rich black and the reviews online are excellent, so I'm ready to try this out! All in all, I think that Topbox is out to steal my heart! I am super happy with the October box, I am ready and willing to use all of the high-quality products I received, with some really big names represented. The actual value of my $12.00 CDN box is (drumroll, please): $43.77. That is a pretty decent haul! Like I said, all big names and great products. Can you read the super-huge smile on my face? Are you interested in getting in on your own Topbox? Email me your request and I'll send you an invite. Be warned - there is a waiting list. This subscription box is in high demand. I think for good reason!
Last month I purchased the Julep Jewel Heist Mystery Box - full of joy and anticipation of fabulously sparkly polishes arriving in my mailbox. I mean, just look at the beauty in the picture above (snapshot from the email they sent) - to look at that is like seeing the heavens open and feathery angels draped in white descend while trumpets play and each one is holding a harp made from a different precious gemstone in their arms... Boy was I disappointed. First off, it took forever to get here. Shipping is usually 5-10 business days, and their stuff usually does arrive right around the 8th day. This time around, it was well over the time and I had to email them to find out what was going on. Waiting for something so anticipated is pure torture! The coveted package finally arrived yesterday. I bounded home in the rain from the mailbox and set my package down, eager to tear it open to reveal the glittering surprises within. I suppressed this urge and gingerly cut the tape and flipped the lid. This is the sight that greeted me: My smile froze on my face as I pulled out the contents for closer inspection: Oh Julep - How have you disappointed me? Let me count the ways... I'm going to start with this. This picture above is actually a snip from this post, where I review the 100 Degrees of Mystery Box. Why? Because I already received this item in that box and now I have two of something I will never use. I have to guess this is a poor seller if it's showing up in all the mystery boxes. Moving on. The next item to disappoint is these Twistband hair ties. They're not even a Julep product. Don't get me wrong, all ladies need hair ties, if you have long hair, you can never have enough. However, no matter how fantastic they claim these are, they're not really for me. I like to wear my ponytail high and tight, and these do not hold my hair. Within minutes, it was sad and droopy. So I'll use them until they get lost and I have no use for the discount on the membership. Nor would I ever pay this amount of money for a hairtie - unless there were actual jewels in it. Value of product: $4.00 + $7.50 (for the membership discount) Next, we have this eyeshadow brush. A great compliment to the eyeshadow I received (see next item), but not really anything I need because I don't wear eyeshadow or blush. Next up is this palette of five neutral shades of eyeshadow which are great for fall, but not very reminiscent of jewels. I mentioned previously that I do not wear eyeshadow, so this is another disappointment for me. Finally, something I will actually use. I love lipgloss and this is a pretty colour for the fall season, but I still don't see anything yet that has to do with the whole Jewel Heist theme. The cool thing about this gloss is that it goes on like a neutral, then slowly changes into a pink. I will use this because I have it, but it goes on stickier than other glosses and feels thick and uncomfortable on my lips. I wouldn't ever pay $20 (or $16) for this, and if I did, I would have been pretty upset about it. Finally! Something I want to use in a promised jewel tone! I am really not crazy about orange, but quite frankly, I was just just happy to see polish in the box. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, my expectations were high for a box full of lovely, sparkly polishes and unfortunately had to settle for one in a shade I'm not crazy about. So, I paid $27.98 for this mystery box. What were the contents worth, all told? Retail $109.50 Maven $89.90 So if I was a Maven, I would not have received $100+ value in this box (as advertised) - or do Mavens get a better box? I'm still on the fence about signing up to be a Maven - and this box put me on the no side for a while. One thing is for sure, even though I was really, really disappointed this time, I will try again with the next box. Let's face it, I love surprises. Click to take the quiz and find out which is your style! You can also become a Maven by using this link (and get your first box free by using code FREEBOX at checkout) - and I get some referral points so I can get more pretty stuff for me from Julep.

First off, here's what this mascara can do for you according to the Covergirl website: Bottom line, I would not ever buy this mascara. I have used Covergirl in the past (their Exacteyes line is good), but this one is so far off the mark that I think I would have been pissed-off if I paid full price for it. I tried out this mascara and I was not really impressed. The colour was good (very black), but even with two coats my lashes did not look great. It was kinda clumpy and flakey and not very attractive. It was also really liquidy (I know, I love made-up words that end in 'y') and got all over my upper lid while I was applying it. Yes - I do know how to put on mascara, and although I do occasionally tap the side of my nose, I can't say I've ever had this issue before. I used more q-tips on my eyes than my ears that morning. It was also really, really difficult to wash off, which I absolutely hate, if I have that issue, it's guaranteed that I'll never buy it again. My lashes are precious to me, and I will not sacrifice them trying to scrub off mascara with three different products. The other really weird issue I had with this mascara was the smell. I didn't notice it when I was putting it on, but while I was driving to work, all I could smell was the mascara. A yucky chemical, petroleum kind of smell. It gave me a stomachache - great way to start the day, all told.

I finally decided to touch up my hair colour day before yesterday. Who am I kidding? It's been exactly a year since I've touched my hair. Last year I used Splat Lusty Lavender and did just the underneath hair at the back of my head. (I hope that made sense!) What I mean is that the top two thirds is still brown and the bottom third, underneath it all was dyed. Since my hair grows at a pretty decent pace, there's a good 4-5 inches of brown back there and the colour faded to a light pink, so I figured it might be time to do something about it. Unfortunately, the last few times I was in Shoppers Drug Mart (where I buy my hair colour) they didn't have Splat. All they had was the wash out stuff in the really vibrant colours I was looking for, and I really wanted permanent or even semi-permanent. I'm not sure if a year ago they were just doing a special with that brand (it was in the aisle, not on the shelf) and just decided not to carry it, or what. I did recently find out that I can get it at Walmart and Target - so I guess that'll have to do for next time!
So anyway, I figured I'd try out the Feria Absolute Platinum (since all the other bleaches looked waaay to complicated), bleach my hair and then pick a really rich red and dip dye the rest of my hair for an interesting look. And so began the single worst experience I have ever had with hair colour, and that brings us to this review:
First of all, let's begin with the warnings. There are always warnings with any hair colour, especially so if it involves bleach of any kind. If you're not careful, you can ruin your clothes, towels, counters and even burn your skin, so that is understandable. However, what I could not understand was why the conditioner had to have a warning!
Anyhow, The process is extremely frustrating. I followed the instructions, put on my gloves (which fit extremely well, and that doesn't usually happen with the gloves you get in these kits), twisted the top off the bottle and product squirted out. I have never, in 25+ years of colouring my own hair had that happen. And no, I didn't shake it first.
Next I had to empty the powder from a large, flat packet into the bottle. I think the people at L'Oreal should consider spending an extra couple of cents per package and including a funnel. Even while being extremely careful, trying to get powder from a packet to flow into a small hole while wearing gloves is near impossible to do without spillage. There's a lot of powder, too. Seemed like a never ending stream...
So next I screw on the cap, as per direction and shake well to mix the powder in. This also seemed like an exercise in futility. I shook my little heart out, and three times I unscrewed the cap to find a powder plug in the top of the bottle and inside the lid. Three times I pushed it down, resealed and shook ever more vigorously. The fourth time I said 'screw it', figured it was good enough and added the final tube of cream, which was, thankfully, easy to add. I shook it again, replaced the lid with the nozzle and set about bleaching my hair.
I do have to rave about the actual cream. Although the smell was strong (it is bleach), it was not unbearable. Actually much better than others. I have previously almost passed out from how strong some hair colour smells. This was very easy to deal with. The cream itself is very thick and has a really creamy texture that clings to your glove and hair, making the process of getting the stuff onto your hair really effortless.
I left it on for an hour and then went to go rinse it out. I did not put the gloves back on as per warnings and direction because I figured if it was really that bad, my hands were going to be the least of my problems. I was rinsing it out in the shower, and this stuff was going to be running all down my back and bum, and although I checked the box, there was no rubber suit included. Thankfully, there was no burning sensation at all, which makes me wonder what was up with all the fear-mongering about the conditioner. Maybe it mutated my DNA? But it's touching my scalp, so any way I look at it, the warnings to wear gloves while rinsing are kinda dumb.
After I rinsed the bleach and conditioner out, I lost a whole clump of hair. Considering I only bleached about a third (maybe less) of my actual hair, I'm surprised there's any left. I was seriously considering taking a picture of my drain, but who wants to see a huge clump of gross hair? So you'll just have to take my word for it.
After my hair came out of the towel, I inspected the colour. True to it's packaging, it did come out a beautiful shade of blonde. However, I am used to my hair feeling really soft after using hair colouring conditioners (I have no idea what they use, but it's awesome), and that was not the case this time. It was coarse and tangled. And in case you're wondering, I have bleached my hair before, and it was soft after conditioning. Thankfully I have that fantastic Pantene Ultimate 10 BB Creme. A little dab set thing right.
Overall, this product did what it claimed it would do, I got the exact shade I was looking for. Was the whole process and the hair loss and the coarse feel worth it? No. The market is saturated with so many other products that can give you the same results with less than half the hassle.

I have a terrible time finding products that work with my hair. My hair is the worst combination of all the things you could possibly find wrong with hair. It's dry and full of static at the ends, oily at the roots, falls out when I wash, condition, or brush it, and tangles if you just look at it. Let's just say I've tried my fair share of hair products over the years. Some have been okay, some pretty good and others just made one problem or another worse. Thanks to BzzAgent and the fine folks at Pantene, I received a free, full-sized set of Pantene's new Pro-V line, Ultimate 10 to try out in exchange for my opinion. On Tuesday I received a 375ml bottle of shampoo, a 375ml bottle of conditioner and a 151ml bottle of BB creme and was so excited to try it out that I put two pumps of the BB creme into my dry hair right away. First off - this stuff smells amazing! I mention every time I post a review that scent is incredibly important to me. I have a sensitivity to it, and if it's really strong I get headaches and if it's really bad, my lungs burn. As soon as the BB creme came out of the tube, there was a very pleasant aroma, light, flowery and not overpowering. My hair is pretty long, so I used two pumps, one on each side and worked it into my hair. The creme is not greasy and worked into my hair well, and I didn't feel the need to go wash my hands after. There was really no effect right away, but when I ran my hand through my hair about five minutes later it already felt softer, smoother and there were no tangles. What I said earlier about my hair tangling was no exaggeration - my hair really does tangle constantly. That I could still run my fingers through my hair was a good sign. The fragrance also lingers - I got to smell it every time I moved my head. By the time I went to bed I was really, really surprised... no tangles! You have no idea how happy that made me. I cannot remember the last time I was able to run my fingers through my hair without encountering a rat's nest. This BB creme is truly amazing! This morning I washed and conditioned before using the BB creme. The shampoo lathered well and I did not have to use a whole lot - less than the size of a quarter. The scent is very light, as was the conditioner, which is good, because when every product you use smells strong, it's just too much. The shampoo rinsed out easily and my hair felt pretty good prior to conditioning. I used a dollop a little bigger than a quarter of the conditioner and worked it into my hair, leaving it in while I showered. Being able to use just a little is really important - I have long hair and some types of product need way too much to be effective at all. I don't want to go broke making my hair manageable. When I rinsed, I am sad to say that I did have considerable hair loss. Unfortunately this happens with 99% of all conditioners I use. It rinsed out very well with minimal effort and felt really soft, even at this stage. I towel-dried my hair, applied 2 pumps of the BB creme and brushed out my hair. Usually I do not brush my hair when wet - first off, it's nearly impossible thanks to the tangles and secondly, I lose so much hair that I don't want to start my day off in tears. This morning my hair was easily brushed. The hair loss was less than usual, but still there. All day my hair felt so soft, silky and clean. I absolutely loved it. On my drive home I did the ultimate tangle test - I drove with my windows down. Just to put this in perspective for you, when I do this, I usually have to tear my hair into sections and brush it out that way - it's pretty much knitted itself into a really, really ugly hat. That did not happen today. I came home and ran my fingers through my hair. A few tangles, but OMG, if nothing else, this feeling is worth the price. All told - my verdict is that this system is pretty amazing. For people who don't have the hair fall issue, this is definitely for you. I'm going to try using just the shampoo and creme and maybe if I skip the conditioner I can still use this product. The BB creme, however, is the best product I've ever used. This is something I would definitely recommend to everyone and it's going to be a regular in my hair care routine from now on. You can't really see much difference in the top before/after pictures, but in the bottom close-up, I think you can tell how dull my hair looks before, shiny and smoother after. Remember, these afters were taken after a full day of work and a drive home with the windows down - without brushing. Just so you know - Pantene Pro-V Ultimate 10 is a new line of hair care products formulated to give you these ten benefits in one bottle: Repair for Rough Hair, Strength Against Damage, Silky Softness, Brilliant Shine, Smoothing, Moisture, Frizz Control, Heat Protection, Manageability, Tamed Flyaways Get your $2.00 off Pantene products coupon by clicking here.

This "Double-duty cuticle and nail care" mask was part of the Julep Mystery Box I purchased and reviewed earlier this month. I finally had a chance to try it out. I opened the package to find ten little pockets filled with cream. They're attached and tearing them apart is pretty easy, but slipping them on ( and getting them to stay put) is another story. I started with the fingers on my left and that was perfectly fine - however, once I had them on, using that hand to get them onto the fingers of my right hand required a little bit more effort. If you have someone around to help you out with this, I definitely recommend recruiting them. The pockets (for lack of a better word) are one size fits all, so they're not very snug. In fact, I spent the entire half hour pushing them back down. Maybe that was part of the plan, because I also spent that time massaging the cream into my nails, nail beds and fingertips as I tried to keep them in place. While they were on my fingers I felt a very mild tingle going on. It was unexpected, and I'm not sure if that's what it was supposed to do, but it felt kinda nice, like a little massage. There was no scent whatsoever from the pockets themselves. I sniffed the package and all I got was a very faint citrus scent. That's great in my book, because I find that too many beauty products use too much fragrance for no good reason. I also have an issue with heavy perfumes, so this is a product that didn't give me headaches. After about 25 minutes, I peeled them off and massaged the rest of the cream into my fingers and nails. In fact, there was so much cream left on and under my nails that I had enough to massage into my entire hands. The cream was easily absorbed and did not leave a greasy feel afterward. So, did I see any difference? My nails definitely felt softer and look less dry. I change my nail colour often and all the polish removal use can really dry out my nails, so this mini spa felt like the right thing. Overall this product does exactly what you expect. I will definitely purchase and use it again and would recommend it to anyone who cares about their nails.

I receive a referral reward for purchases made through any link within this entry. Thank you for supporting my nail polish addiction. Ever since I heard about the Julep Maven subscription boxes, I have been dying to get one. I am not a Maven yet, but I did finally spring for a Julep Mystery Box. A Julep Mystery Box gives you a great deal on product that is almost out of stock, out of season, you know, odds and ends they have left over while cleaning out their warehouse. If you're okay with that (and I totally am), these are a great deal. This one just seemed way too good to pass up, $100 value for $25 (USD). So I placed my order and waited. And waited. And waited. I don't think I've ever checked my mailbox every day for an entire week in anticipation of a package before, but I did this time! I won't make you wait any longer, here is the unveiling of my box: What did you get, I hear you ask excitedly? Well, I made out pretty well, I think. I received four polishes, an eye primer, a spa mask (!) for my nails and a lipgloss in one of the most gorgeous shades I've ever seen. Julep Lipgloss in the colour 'Posh' - Regular price on julep.com = $20, Maven price = $16 *This colour is no longer available for purchase* Julep Nail Mask (single pack) - Regular price of a pack of 10 on julep.com = $30, on sale right now for $10/pk *this item is still available for purchase* Julep Blank Canvas Mattifying Eye Primer - Regular price on julep.com = $22, Maven price = $18 *this item is still available for purchase* Julep nailpolish in the colour 'Max' (black & white confetti) - Regular price on julep.com = $14, Maven price = $12 *This colour is no longer available for purchase* I used the colour 'Paris' for pricing, it was closest to 'Max'. Julep nailpolish in the colour 'Zoe' - Regular price on julep.com = $14, Maven price = $12 *This colour is still available for purchase* Julep nailpolish in the colour 'Lynn' (nude) - Regular price on julep.com = $14, Maven price = $12 *This colour is no longer available for purchase* I used an average price, I was not able to find the style. Julep nailpolish in the colour 'Gloria' - Regular price on julep.com = $14, Maven price = $12 *This colour is no longer available for purchase* I used the colour 'Brielle' for pricing, it was closest to 'Gloria'.
So? What did I think overall? I am thrilled and think I got a pretty good deal for my 30 Canadian dollars. Regular total cost is about $100, and Maven cost is about $84 (both in USD, I paid $30 CAD after shipping and exchange). I'm super psyched to try out the other three colours, even though I already have two other shades in the nude family, this one is a little darker, so it's okay. The lipgloss is such a beautiful colour that I have to try it out ASAP! I'm interested to see what the eye primer can do for me and I'll definitely give you a product review when I get those nail masks on! My verdict? I need to talk to my manager about a raise so I can become a Maven as soon as possible so I can start getting some more of this awesome polish from Julep.

Recently I was sent a full size package of OXY Emergency Treatment Wipes from a product testing website I belong to (http://www.hometesterclub.com) to test out and review. As my testing period is over and I have already filled out my survey with the website, I decided to give you my own review of this product. Although we did test this product every day for the requested two weeks, the product itself is intended for emergency spot treatment. In this respect, it does what it claims. There was a visible reduction in redness of the acne spots in within a short period of time (under 24 hours). Because this product comes in wipes in a packet which can be sealed repeatedly rather than as a wash or cream it is easier to use and that alone will enable your teen to use it on a regular basis. The wipes do tend to dry out quickly, however, since you're only using them on specific pimples, it's not really an issue, as you're usually done before they're completely dry. The OXY wipes did dry my son's skin slightly, however, this is commonplace with acne treatments which contain acids and peroxides (this one contains 2.5% benzoyl peroxide) and are easily remedied with some moisturizer. There is no stinging or tightness associated with our usage, so that was also a nice plus, as some acne products do sting when applied. These wipes are portable, easy to use and deliver on their promises. I would recommend this product and will purchase it in the future.
