This product contains 0.5% salicylic acid that is supposed to target acne, but I feel that 0.5% is too little of a concentration to actually make a noticeable difference on any pimples. Usually, I use 2% and that works perfect, but because it is Shiseido and I'm a sucker for any new Ibuki products, I had to try it. I was actually very surprised to find out that the product itself is tiny! It's 30 mL. I purchased it thinking that it would be the size of a Cinique moisturizer jar, but nope! Just be careful ladies, to properly read the size before you buy it! In terms of treating acne or anything else on my skin, it doesn't really do anything for me, except provide a cooling sensation when applied (it is a gel formula) so it would be good for the summertime. -

Shu Uemura is the Western version of a Japanese skincare holy grail; their products are high quality and you really get the results that you pay for. With this treatment, it targets any acne scarring or discolouration that you may have and works to brighten them. It is also very moisturizing so it won't dry your face out like most brightening products tend to do. -

This product contains 2% salicylic acid which is perfect for clearing acne and preventing it as well. I find that this product is a bit strong so a little goes a long way. I use this after I cleanse my face and before I put on moisturizer and it does a great job at keeping my acne at bay. -

Mario Badescu products are amazing; I remember first trying them out back in middle school when you could sign up for them to mail you a whole customized sample kit (that came in jars, not foil packets!) for free just so you could properly try out the products to see if they worked with your skin. If that isn't great customer service, I don't know what is! I just recently got back into their products because I'm looking for a toner that will help brighten and moisturize my face, and this product does just that. It could do without the semi-strong smell, but it's bearable, unlike some other products with such a heavy strong scent! -

After it got out that Kim K. uses this product, everyone was suddenly on it. And for good reason. It is very finely milled and the yellow colour is perfect for those of us with warm undertones. It helps to set foundation and concealer and if you bake your face with it, it gives the desirable highlighted look that Kim K. has. -

Hands down my favorite mink lashes (even over Velour!). With Velour, the lash band is very thick, but with Esquido, the lash band is thin so it's easier to apply and goes well if you're trying to go for a natural eye. That being said though, they also have dramatic lashes so you get the best of both worlds. They're pricey right now because of the dollar drop, but I would recommend getting them if they have a pop up shop near you (they have some a couple times a year) or even at IMATS, where I got my first pair! Once you go mink, you'll never go back. -

I went to IMATS and picked up a couple pairs of Velour lashes after eyeing them online for the longest time; I couldn't justify spending so much on just one pair of falsies ($35). They were $10 off and tax-free at IMATS, so I decided to take advantage of the sale and picked up 3 pairs; "Whispie Me Away", "I Got it from my Momma" and "#WINGing". My favourite is definitely #WINGing, it gives such a nice dramatic lift to the eyes, and I find myself being drawn to more dramatic lashes after trying mink. They are so natural and beautiful looking that I can't go back to synthetic lashes! You can definitely tell a difference between mink and synthetic after wearing them both for a while. Also, beautiful box!
ChickAdvisor - you guys don't have a "falsies" category!

I've been meaning to get this since I spotted it at Christmas time, but I was on a strict budget because of gifts so I couldn't pick this up at the time. I'm glad I waited because VS recently had a $38 sale on all perfumes and I literally ran to the store to buy this. It literally smells heavenly; the strongest notes you get when you first spray it is vanilla and musk. It is a beautiful bottle that doesn't mind being shown off on your vanity either. -
