St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
I love this scrub, I use it pretty much every night (I only use a little and mix with it water like a face wash) as my skin prefers mechanical exfoliation over chemical. It makes my face radiant and super smooth and I haven't broken out from it.

Just after one use, I will say - this didn't make it crunchy - but I did notice that it does dry out your ends VERY MUCH. After blowdrying - my ends hung like straw. I was able to curl my hair like normal, and had more volume (vs. using the spray version) which was what I was going for - but by the end of the day (and one use), I'm just not sure how much of a fit this is for my hair. It almost makes it feel dirty? Which for styling (curls) is great, but the overall feel made my hair feel like it was destroyed or dried out. I never had a "crunchy" feel, but I am going to try this again to see if it will work, since it did not feel "heavy" or "flat". Just dirty and dry. Almost like a sea salt spray on my ends. -
NIVEA Gentle Toner

Not sure how fast you're supposed to see results with this.. but I've stick with it for about a week and a half and nothing much except 2-3 spots on forehead, chin and nose and it's SO unusual for me to have spots at these places.. But the good point is that my face doesn't feel as tight after washing it like it usually do and i can skip the cream if i feel lazy. But I heard that when you start a new product/ routine (first time for me using a toner) it may cause spots but only because it's deep cleansing the skin and it's all coming out. Hopefully it's gonna work better for me soon! -

It feels and looks like water and doesn't have any noticeable smell to me. After cleansing my face feels a little sticky but after a few minutes that feeling disappears completely. Occasionally this micellar water stings my eye area while I'm cleansing.
I tried using this as a makeup remover and it's okay. It takes several cotton pads to remove my makeup so I don't think it's cost-effective to remove makeup with this micellar water. I like it best when I use it as the first step in my makeup removal routine followed by a foaming cleanser.
But as a facial cleanser? This stuff makes for a really lovely cleanser for my combination skin. Its great in the mornings. My face doesn't feel stripped at all but it feels very cleansed and refreshed. It removes the oil from my oily t-zone but keeps my cheeks hydrated and comfortable. Would definitely repurchase.

NIVEA Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
I'm not a great fan of this. I wouldn't say it stings if I get some in contact with my eye (easily done considering its an EYE make up remover!) but it does cause a bit of irritation, and it always make the area around my eyes feel tight. Also I... +
I'm not a great fan of this. I wouldn't say it stings if I get some in contact with my eye (easily done considering its an EYE make up remover!) but it does cause a bit of irritation, and it always make the area around my eyes feel tight. Also I always find I have to really rub the lashes to get the make up off which can't be good for my eyes and lashes. This isn't the absolute worst eye make up remover I've ever used but I doubt I'll be buying it again. -

I absolutely LOVE this product. I've always had very bad dry spots in my t-zone, especially in the winter, so I picked this up on a whim when I was out one day. The texture is nice, it's easy to spread over your face, not too thick but not watery either. Use sparingly, because if you use too much, you might wake up looking a bit oily. -

An essential for dry and cold winters. This cream, although thick and hard to spread, soothes wind chapped skin and winter skin irritations. A thick layer massaged into skin keeps the area moisturized throughout the day during polar vortex days. Feels greasy initially but absorbs after 15 or so minutes.
The key is to apply after a shower but to dry off completely. IMO this cream is much harder to apply to wet skin

Certainly not the best nail polish out there but for the price it's fantastic. It seems as if this was introduced as a replacement for Essence's Colour And Go nail polish which I wasn't a fan of because of how quickly it chipped. My favourite shade is 'Juicy Love', a bright red. I found it only needed one coat to look good and dried pretty quickly, but you could certainly make it look perfect with two coats. It did start to chip and the tips the next day but I touched it up pretty easily. I'd definitely buy again! -

The chocolate taste is excellent all around and I love it. So we see that it is possible to make good tasting chocolate without it being sickeningly sweet as Hersheys is.The rest of this product, the candy nib in the middle, is so sweet that I cannot eat them and even if you like them you shouldn't eat them either. The label shows sugar in the chocolate - you gotta have that or it isn't chocolate. The rest of the ingredients -- OMG ! More sugar, corn syrup, various fruit juice Concentrates, maltodextrin and apple juice concentrate. Fruit juices without the rest of the fruit in them are nothing but sugar water. -
