Kleenex Expressions by Isaac Mizrahi
I can understand why people would want fancy kleenex boxes but it's not my thing. I think the Isaac Mizrahi designs are cute but not so much more than done of the standard Kleenec boxes. If the box hastens to match your living room, go banana... +

Soooo Soap & Glory is dedicated to keeping you living in soft, happy skin from head to toe and Heel Genius may focus on the lower end but it has big shoes to fill. Especially as summer rolls around, feet exposed to sun, dirt and city streets need a boost. This is a great breathable product that keeps your feets happy, this making you happy. It has this sweet, minty floral scent and while it LOOKS blue it is clear after you apply it. -

Skinny Cow Dreamy Clusters Milk Chocolate
I like that Skinny Cow chocolates give me a nice chocolate hit without all the calories but without sucralose or other sugars. This one tastes like a rice krispie turtle so my chocoaddict self is appeased!

GOSH Bronzing Shimmer Powder

I'm a big fan of Gosh because I find that their palettes offer great pigmentation but aren't too aggressive. This bronzer adds a nice healthy sweep of colour to perk up any skintone in the summer to add some beachy realness to any look! It looks glittery but the glitter isn't as visible once brushed on the skin. -

This is a nice light non-oily concealer that is great for any on-the-go spot corrections or light coverup. I tried Pizazz which is good for medium light complexions but might be too light for darker skin tones. It's not a hardcore concealer but good for lighter makeup days -

It's funny, I'm reviewing a food product here by its "taste" but really and truly I use my apple cider vinegar at least 10 different ways and only one of them is for ingesting!
I use diluted apple cider vinegar as a toner, a spot corrector for acne, as part of a cleaning regime in my house, it can help freshen the air, and, it can definitely be used as a tea with honey, lemon and cinnamon when you're feeling sick.
It's a wonder product, but I usually use it for my beauty regime more often than not. I find that most other toners are too harsh for my skin, but a little diluted ACV goes a long way to keeping my skin healthy.

I, like any other woman who dares to wear a full Zooey Deschanel-esque face of bangs, often have the problem of a greasy forehead. It comes part and parcel with keeping your hair so close to your face! I used to just have to powder my forehead like mad, but a friend dropped one of these babies in my lap and all that changed. I don't have particularly oily skin otherwise, but these sheets help me dry down my forehead to keep my from breaking out, and don't mess or fuss with my makeup if I do run it along the rest of my face too.
I know some people don't like the price, but I usually buy them for 2.99 or 3.49 and with 50 sheets they last me few months. Not a bad trade off and it's better than using tissue paper or paper towel on your face because it's more sensitive and won't leave fibre particles.

I was really excited to try a sample of this Korres beauty product because I've heard so many good things about the brand, but me and this moisturizer just don't mix.
I'm not sure if it's the 'brightening' aspect of the product or the ridiculously intensity of the parfum, but I reacted to this product like mad. I couldn't quite tell the first day, but by day two of using it, I had completely broken out all over my face and it was tight and inflamed. It took two days of using another gentler product to calm my face down.
If by "brightening" they meant "making your face red and pink" they succeeded. Also, the scent is way too strong and while the product touts it's 'natural' ingredients, it's clear that the product is heavily produced and despite containing some catchy, trendy ingredients, is hardly any more natural than most other brands at that price point.
