I've had my bad shares of self tanner/tanner sprays and this one really surprised me. The gel goes on lightly, i just rub it all over like it's a body cream. Leave it to dry for a couple of minutes and i'm done. Within 2-3 applications, i can really see a different in my skin tone. It's definitely more tanned. I don't like to tan because I have a Olive skin tone and i don't tan well, it turns ashy instead. So this is a great option. I also love this because it dries fast, doesn't rub/transfer to sheets/clothes, doesn't feel sticky on the face and most of all this really gives a nice color fast! -

I bought this because of all the hype. I don't have oily lids so i don't really need a primer that keeps my shadows in place....so i can't comment on it's ability to keep oilies at bay. I use it more to make sure eyeshadows, especially powder ones...stick to my lid. This does work to a certain extend. The shadow really stickers, it does make the color more vibrant but i feel that there are better alternatives. It does an okay job, not the greatest. I do reach for it every so often. I also use a lot of shadows so this doesn't work as well as my other bases (Paintpot, paint etc)....but i do recommend this for oiler lids - even if it's under the paintpot....or for individuals that like the more neutral look and uses less shadow...i don't know if i'll repurchase, but i do want to try the udpp sin..where it has color. -

I'm really on the fence about this but i definitely don't regret getting this. I've had LED treatments long ago but it was super expensive and for the amount of treatment i get due to price restraints it didn't really show any visible effects. I've had the tanda for about...maybe 2 months? and i've used it everyday without the actual tanda skincare. My thoughts? Well, i have both the blue and red light head and i find that it does slightly improve the skin. Pimples go away faster and i've tried concentrating on affected areas and sometimes the pimple may not show up at all. It does work to a certain extent but it's not miraculous. I think for individuals with acne, it'll definitely reduce acne to a certain extent and it'll also help with the inflammation. I don't really have wrinkles so i can't really comment on that. I think for individuals with acne or even with just small areas of pimple, it's a great alternative to abrasive/drying lotions/aha/peels/bha etc. It doesn't dry or irritate the skin, in fact, it helps bring down the inflammation. The main downside of the Tanda skincare system is that it's quite pricey and it also takes a really really really long time to do a treatment each night. I use the clarisonic as well and i used to think that took a long time.... this takes at least 24 minutes for a whole cycle. If acne medicine is irritating your skin or you have extra cash to blow on a device that will minimize a bit of your acne, i would get this. I'm also seeing a lot of similar device in the market, so who knows, maybe wait a little and see what's out or what's cheaper.

I cannot live without my ipod. Although i have an iphone, i use my ipod for my music and videos. It's simply amazing. The colored screen, movies, music etc. It also looks great. I've had mine for i think more than 4 years and it's still working great. Un like a lot of electronics where the battery depletes a lot faster after a few years of use, this doesn't! I also use mine a lot as a hard drive that i carry around. I think it's great! -

The Wii is a great for both gamers and non-gamers. There are endless options of games varying from sports, to cooking to puzzles etc. I don't use it that often but it's a great console none the less. I think the great thing about it is that there aren't gazillion bajillion buttons and functions. It's very user friendly and direct so all ages can enjoy it. I've seen a tv feature about a old folks home installing the Wii as one of their entertainment/activity and it was a hit. This goes to show how everyone can enjoy this. I also love how it can incorporate action/movement rather than just pressing a button. If you're looking for an activity for the family/date etc. the Wii won't disappoint. -

This is my everyday go to eyeliner. Whether it's a natural look or dramatic, i still use this eyeliner. I either use a slanted angel brush or a the mac 209 pointed brush. I use mainly use Blacktrack but all the other colors give great pigmentation as well. With a good brush, this liner applies perfectly. I've also used this as a base for a really dark dramatic eye. Just remember to blend really well. Also, with a even finer liner brush, you can use it on your waterline. I love love love this stuff. I think i probably repurchased it 20 times.

I really love this foundation as a concealer. I've never tried it as a foundation and i think it'll be way to thick as a foundation. But this really does the job as a concealer. The price is kind of steep for what i pay for a concealer, but since it's meant to be a foundation, it takes forever to finish. They have a wide range of shades so you'll find one that matches you. I use this on my discoloration, pimples and undereye even. It's a really creamy and smooth formula and glides on your skin. It takes a bit of practice to blend it in but once you get it, it covers almost everything, i think i've even covered my mole on my face before. So far, it doesn't really break me out and i'm sensitive. But sometimes, i do get a pimple or two from it because i use it over the same spot over and over and i start to clog my pores. Overall, if you have acne scars, pimples, this is a great concealer. It also has SPF 30! -

I don't use this often on my own face but this is the go to make up when i put make on on clients on photoshoots etc. I found that this really looks beautiful on camera. Although shine is a no no on camera. I just lightly dust the mufe hd powder and the shine is gone. I find it it has medium but buildable coverage. It really gives a nice dewy look to the skin. I love the range of colors they have. I actually only have 7 of the colors but i mix till i get the color i want. The packaging is nice to have in the kit. It's a must have for my kit! -

Hmm... this is my best friend when i travel. I move back and forth from uni and home...so when i take the bus...im on my ds. There are a lot of games, and with the touch screen interaction ... even me, who's a really horrible gaming...can play and have fun. There are endless games on this so you'll never get bored. I also love how you can play against other players....my favorite is tetris and mario cart. I compete against my friends and i love it. I definitely recommend it! I also keep it in my purse! -

This is truly a gorgeous old hollywood red. The color payoff is really intense and although the formula is matte, it goes on smoothly. Like misschickie said, you really need a lipliner to start with or else it can look sloppy. You also should make sure that your lips are moisturized so that the matte formula doesn't dry you out. I don't use this often, but i do like it when i go for bold red lip...If you're looking for a classic red, try this one! -
