The Small Fine Tip is designed for facial use. I often so use it on my hands too, as the skin on my hands is a bit more sensitive than the rest of my body.
Microderm360 diamond tips are made with real crushed diamonds and medical grade stainless steel.
I enjoy how it exfoliates facial skin without being too harsh or scratchy

This gel cleanser really removes all of my makeup, except eye makeup (for which I need to use an eye makeup remover). It also removes all the dirt and impurities from skin and seriously, my skin looks so much fresh and cleaner instantly- its hard not to use it. For my super dry sin, this cleanser is a bit drying, so I always follow with Soothe360, on regular days, which instantly hydrates my skin. On days when I use Microderm360 (which I use twice a week), I always use the Cleanse360 first to remove excess dirt and then exfoliate using Microderm360. That way, I get done with cleansing and exfoliating my skin in the best possible way.
It has a thick, gel like consistency that works well on skin. This facial cleanser is clear with blue beads. The blue bead slowly dissolve as I massage this all over my face and neck.

After exfoliating my face with Kelley West Microderm360, I spritz Soothe360 all over my face. It instantly hydrates and calms skin down. I have to be careful not to spritz this in my eyes so I cover them with one hand and quickly spray this on my face. It can be liberally sprayed all over the body after a Microderm360 treatment.
I also use it as a toning mist whenever I feel my skin need a shot of hydration.
Its very refreshing!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash
Although, have dry skin and saclicylic acid can make it more dry, but I love this face wash. It truly removes all impurities and makeup. Its probably the only face wash, I keep getting back too. Love the Tea Tree line from The Body Shop.

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
I have dry skin and this scrub makes it even worse. Its quite abrasive on my skin. I like to use it more as a foot or body scrub than face, because this is just too harsh and scratchy. Dislike the hard beads in it.

I was matched with shade 10, which is described as a Golden Beige. Its really not as yellow as you would expect from anything with a golden undertone, but it works so nicely to cover imperfections and conceals dark circles to the extent that they are not noticeable at all! What I like more about this is that its not a highlighting concealer - that I feel, accentuate my dark circles more than hiding them.
So.. this has a natural finish and it works well, over and under foundation. I generally wear my concealer over the foundation and set it with pressed powder. The formula is thick, so I need the tiniest amount for my entire face and the texture is creamy enough to blend nicely with a brush or fingers. It feels almost as thick as the Amazing Concealer, but the latter being less creamy than this guy!
For a regular every day look, I just dot this on my under eyes, acne marks here and there, and cover it up with a sheer powder to hold everything together, and voila! I am done with the base!
It looks so natural, its unbelievable! And it lasts all day!! I did not notice any fading or creasing in my under eye area, even at the day end.
This Full Cover Concealer by MUFE may seem too pricey at CA$37 gst but its worth it. You can find this in Sephora and try on a few shades, or get yourself matched. I am certain,this is never gonna disappoint ye!

These were launched in celebration of MUFE's 30th Anniversary. The world famous MUFE eyeshadows were revolutionized and 210 shades of Artist Shadows were created for infinite looks and endless possibilities.
They come in five finishes, Diamond, Satin, Iridescent, Metal and Matte. The ones I have ,are in satin and metal finishes...and they are gorgeous!! You gotta see the swatches!
ME-700 Amber (Metal)
This is such a gorgeous shade. I would describe it as a golden-peachy shade, leaning towards orange than yellow, with a smooth metallic finish.
It feels very smooth and buttery as I work with it. The formula is definitely buildable and long lasting, without a primer. It lasted almost 7-8 hours and then it started to fade. I did not notice any fall out.
Its a very pretty shade and perfect for the upcoming holiday season :)
S616 - Chocolate (Satin)
The satin finish was something I was looking forward to and I am very happy with the smooth and satiny finish of this shade.
Chocolate is a rich brown shade with a neutral undertone. It is the perfect shade for the outer corners and even the crease. This is one of those staple shades that easily pair up with any colour on the lid. Perfect for contouring and has an amazingly smooth texture. No fall outs with this one too!
Quite impressive!
I think these are the best eyeshadow textures, I have seen in recent launches and MUFE has really set the bar high with this formula. Apparently, the formula of Artist Shadows is based on Pigment Atomization and Water-Blend Technology that delivers 88% concentrated pigment and utmost blendability and even texture. Neat!
Artist Shadows can be purchased from Sephora and Make Up For Ever Boutiques for $25(single), $39 (Duo) and $50(Trio)

This foundation is really a breakthrough among drug store foundations, as Rimmel has added moisturizing Aqua Primer to this Mineral Complex enriched foundation. Ever since I started using this, I have hooked on to it. It literally stays all day! I haven't worn this for 25 hours but for good 8-9 hours and I was totally shocked to see no oxidation and no signs of cracking up or anything!
It is also transfer resistant, in the sense that it wont come off on the neck line of my shirt, nor on the screen of my cellphone. The weird thing that impressed me the most is that it did not dry out my skin through out the day! I mean every foundation I have used would require me to touch up after 4-5 hours and to look for dryness on face, but the Aqua Primer in there is really at work!
The shade that matched me perfectly is True Ivory. Its a medium shade with light yellow/warm undertones. I do not even need a setting powder on this because the shade looks perfect and it has a natural looking matte finish. This is a full coverage foundation on my normal/dry skin. No primer is needed for this one but I still like to use The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin boost as a primer.
This foundation comes in 9 shades and the good news is that if you are in the medium skin tone range, ie., fair-medium, medium or medium dark, with pink or yellow undertones, you will be able to find a perfect match. Unfortunately, if you are really fair or really dark, it may be a tough luck.
The packaging can be a turn off for some. Its in a regular tube with 30ml of product and I have to be careful not to squeeze out too much

This is a wonderful variation of the original White Musk scent, where I can smell the earthy, musky smells mixed with a truly rose fragrance. The rosy smell is so fresh, it reminds me of my wedding and all the roses around me. I really liked the rosy notes of Versace Bright Cystal and somehow I feel I am a rose kinda gal. I think this one is very feminine and very me. Every time, I use a perfume with rose in it, I get hooked to it and I did not find this kind of a connection with the White Musk Libertine, which is another beautiful fragrance.
White Musk Smoky Rose is a fresh and seductive scent. The mysterious side of this perfume, for me, is the richness of it. It has some undertones of pomegranate too but I can't say much about tobacco flower as I don't know how it smells. In some ways, this scent has a bit of a retro feel, that takes me back in my childhood and maybe my mom wore something similar. So the fragrance itself is not that unique but its definitely something to have, especially at the price point The Body Shop offers.
Since I love this fragrance, I will go with Eau de Parfum the next time, since Eau de Toilette is not so long lasting and I never use it directly on skin, so eau de parfum should help. The Body Shop has a full line of products featuring the White Musk Smoky Rose fragrance.
White Musk Smoky Rose Eau de Toilette retails for CA$ 25 for 60ml and CA$17 for 30ml bottles.
