Gyaru Makeup ギャルメイク 2012

I found some J-mag scans of Happynuts April 2012 and Popteen March 2012 and picked some pictures of makeup to make a lovely little pic spam of the new  gyaru makeup trends of this year. I've been blogging about gyaru more lately, so happy (≧.≦)" 







Sorry to interrupt, but I gotta say I'm loving the look of the 2012 gyaru makeup, it's natural but stunning, like makeup should be. I think I just might try this out. I wasn't that into the loads of makeup trend that was going on before. Now it's much more cleaner and fresher looking and much more natural.


Wink, wink. Cat eye! Get this look! 







Got anything to say about the gyaru makeup trends of 2012? Just say so.

Magic Spice

I was reflecting to my past for a few moments today and I remembered something totally important and magical! I remembered when I was reading Xiaxue's most recent blog post about how she lost weight using a diet pill. 
I remembered that...

There is a natural appetite depressant pill out there that nobody (well some people) know about! It's a surprise really, but believe me it works! 
It is... 

Cinnamon! 

Yeah that's right! That spicy, sweet, wonderful spice that you put on the most fattening and unhealthy things-- okay let's not go there. But here's the catch. I won't suppress your appetite effectively if you just sprinkle it on your food and such. You need to take it by a capsule. Just two little pills full of pure, unprocessed cinnamon taken every day. 


How does it work? 
It 'levels out' your blood sugar so your body doesn't have those cravings for sugary and fatty foods and you don't have those annoying blood sugar spikes when you all of a sudden feel really, really hungry even though you just ate an hour ago. So, basically  it makes you feel satisfied with what you've eaten. Even if it was just carrot sticks!It also raises your metabolism since you don't have that eat sugar and crash experience anymore! So you turn into a fat burning machine!  

Why you should believe me? 
You should oh so very much believe me because I had a very personal experience with cinnamon pills. My mom bought them because she was trying to lose weight the natural way and heard on some talk show that cinnamon caused you to crave less and eat fewer calories. So, she went out and bought a bottle of cinnamon capsules. I thought they were cool sounding and I wanted to test out the effect. I didn't want to lose weight at that time because I was normal, but I wanted to see if it was a scam or fad or not. So I took two capsules every morning. 

Sooner or later I started losing weight and FAST! In like a month or two I was a size 1 in juniors when before I had been a size 3 or 5. I did exercise a lot, but I always had to stay in shape, but I didn't change my exercise routine at all and I had never lost weight before. What I noticed was that I only ate two meals a day and no snacks. I never really had an appetite! My collar bones started showing way more, I had really prominent cheek bones, a totally flat stomach, and my size 1 jeans even got a little baggy! 
It got kinda scary because I couldn't stop losing weight and at the time I didn't know why. People started to think I looked too skinny and bony and I didn't want that. If I didn't stop losing weight I'd be a size 0 soon. I tried weighing out the options why I might be losing so much weight. I realised that ever since I started taking the cinnamon pills I had lost weight. So I stopped taking the pills and right away I stopped losing weight. I didn't gain any weight. I mean I gained a pound or too so I could get rid of the 'too skinny' reputation, but I wanted to do that. So, obviously it had been the cinnamon pills that did this! 

They really work guys! But, from my experience, don't take them every day if you're not trying to lose weight or just want to lose a few pounds or it'll get scary! Be careful and still eat even if your appetite is suppressed. Personally I think cinnamon is better than those expensive diet pills that are really dangerous! Cinnamon is eaten a lot and has no dangerous side effects unless your allergic to cinnamon. 

So, go ahead and try it out! But stay safe and practical! Good luck girlies! 

❤XOXO❤

Update 4 Today!

Pictures on their way. I'm going to take some webcam photos of my circle lenses today since I don't feel like downloading those pictures and then the Christmas ones, it takes too long! So, this is kind of like a preview, if you will, of my circle lenses. So stay tuned for like this evening and there will be crappy webcam photos of them!!

Circle lens review preview:
Anyways, about the lenses. They were really tricky to put in. Especially the left one! Oh my god, it kept folding and moving, but then finally, they stayed put and went on smoothly. So, few I thought that one didn't fit, but it did, thank god. I scared myself when I looked into the mirror after I put them on!! In low light, they are really intense and dark. I love them though, they feel like they're not even there and they aren't as noticeable with my family as I thought they would be.

Stay tuned Luvs!!!
❤XOXO❤

Review Time: HoneyColor.com Continued...

I wrote a post regarding the site HoneyColor. I will now review how their service was.

This is my first time ordering from them and it was really GOOD! My order arrived way earlier than they said it would arrive, which is really good. Also, they replied to all of my emails right away and sent me a tracking number and such, like I wrote about in the first review post. So, I guess the experience with HoneyColor wasn't that good for some people, but it a good site if you want a large selection of circle lenses. They also sell Dollywink and eye care products along with different cases and automatic lens cleaners. They also give you free animal cases with every purchase and free express shipping on order of 100+. Their site also has a very good layout and they people are polite. They give good information on how to care for lenses, as well. So, if I would recommend this site.
❤❤❤XOXO❤❤❤

Tag: Get Your Freak On

This is, yet again, another tag post I got from Mei's blog. It about things that are really strange about yourself. You guys probably know nothing strange about me, so now I shall tell you who I REALLY am! Mu-ha-ha-ha!!! (^V^)

1.What's a nickname only you family calls you?
I don't really have a nickname with my family. They call me Haylea, which is my name. My sister calls me London--sometimes. Other than that, my friends and teachers call me Hales or HayHay (HayHay was a nickname that stuck at my old school) My friends online call me Yumi, which I came up with this year (clever, eh?) So other than that, those are the only nicknames I've ever had.

2. What's a weird habit of yours?
Oh, haha, probably the weirdest habit of mine is counting calories. I don't know why I do it, but I know the amount of calories in every kind of food, and I don't know how I ever learned them all.  I do it in my head throughout the day without even thinking. It's not really weird, but everyone thinks it is. Another thing is I sleep in a cocoon. I wrap myself in my blanket-- head and everything and curl up in a tight ball and sleep and oh, if people wake me up and try to remove me from my cocoon it's hell to pay!

3. Do you have any weird phobias?
Of course I do! I have so many phobias, you don't even want to know! I think my weirdest one is that I'm terrified of peanut butter. I'm afraid that it will stick to the roof of my mouth and I won't be able to breath. That I'll die if I eat peanut butter. I don't know why this phobia started in the first place, but it's really strange. I also am afraid of the look of it, but I'll deal if I have to make a PB&J sandwich for my little sisters!


4. What's a song you LOVE to blast and belt out when you're alone? 
There is a lot! I'm always singing songs out loud, even though I might not even like that song! But, recently I can't stop singing "Oh Christmas Tree" at the top of my lungs in an opera lady voice. I even looked up the lyrics on the internet so I could sing the entire song while I was home alone.

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
Um, should I tell you all of them? The list is ENDLESS! I think my biggest pet peeve is when people assume things. Like when they misquote you, or say you said things you never said, or say you did something that you never did. It's like they know you, but most likely they don't know you at all! I wanna punch them in the face. I guess I'll share with you one more pet peeve of mine: people talking too loud. You know, when there is no need to talk loud, AT ALL and they are like talking over everyone? It IRKS me.

6. What's one of your nervous habits?
I don't know if this is a habit or not, but I get anxiety. Every time I'm scared or just plain nervous and stressed my heart beats irregularly and I hyperventilate. I thought I was having a heart attack one time, so I asked my doctor what the hell was going on and he said I was having an anxiety panic attack. So, they aren't dangerous, so now it's just a frequent part of my life.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
Um, I'm not currently sleeping with anyone right now, but I sleep on the outside part of my bed, not the side against the wall. I am scared something will grab me from inside the crack between the bed and the wall. So, I usually wake up with some body part hanging over the side of the bed. That's how I know I sleep on that side for most of the night. Sometimes I even wake up lying horizontally on my bed with my legs hanging over the side. This happens quite often, actually.

8. What was your first stuffed animal & it's name? 
OH GOD! I've had so many stuffed animals when I younger, how can I possibly remember?! Can I tell you what my favourite one was and still is? I think that'll be okay. My stuffed cow named Floof. No one shall touch her, she is my Floof! I named her that because I had a hot pink feather pin that I pinned onto the top of her head. So it looked like a floof of hot pink hair on her head, hence I named her Floof.

9. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks?
I really love chai lattes from Starbucks, but I don't always order them. I always order and expresso with caramel in it instead of sugar. I also add vanilla in it. That is what I usually do and I LOVE it!!! Without my coffee, I wouldn't be blogging right now. I'd be sleeping.

10. What's the beauty rule you preach... but never ACTUALLY practise? 
Wash your face with cold water, then hot water, then cold. I always tell people to do this when they complain their skin is dull or chapped. Since I don't really have that problem with my skin, I don't do it. I only do it in the Summer when my face is kind of burnt and dull. Overall, I preach this a ton, but never actually do it.

11. Which way do you face in the shower?
I face both ways throughout my shower, but for most of the time I am facing with my back to the water. I face the water to wash my face and rinse soap off the front of my body. And the funny thing is, I never really thought about any of these things being asked until today when the questions were asked!!!

12. Do you have any weird body skills? 
Yes. I don't like to admit it because for some reason every time I bring it up, people say "that sounds wrong!" or "that'll impress guys!". I am REALLY flexible... I mean sometimes people say I'm like a contortionist  (which is someone that ties themselves up in knots). I can bend backwards onto my hands from standing up, lay on my stomach and touch my head with my feet, do splits, and even put my feet behind my head when I'm sitting. It's scary really. I also have flexible feet. I can almost turn my entire foot backwards while standing. I scare myself when I do that.

13. What's your favourite comfort food/ food that's bad but you eat it anyways? 
I don't really have a comfort food and I don't really eat junk food so... Oh, I know, I really love sweet potato fries. I guess fries are pretty unhealthy, right? Well, I really like them, but barely anyone buys them in my family so I can never have them. How sad...

14. What's a phrase or exclamation that you always say? 
I'm always saying "AMAZING!" with much enthusiasm. I do that, not only in my blog, but in real life. Another thing I'm always saying is "Oh" I say it when I get hurt, when something surprises me, when I find out I'm wrong, etc... Another thing I say is "You know" or how I say it, "Y'know?" I say it at the beginning of sentences and the end of sentences.

15. Time to sleep - what are you ACTUALLY wearing? 
I sleep in a T-shirt or cami with yoga pants. My love for my yoga pants is insane. I live in them on the weekends when I'm at home doing nothing and when I get home from school, I usually strip off my jeans and jump into my yoga pants. And, haha, oh, sometimes I'm wrapped up in a blanket around my house before bed. My house is pretty old, so like when the heat is on, it doesn't make much of a difference so it's like really cold in our house during the winter. I don't like sweatshirts or too much clothing on my skin, so a blanket works just fine to keep me warm.

Christmas update

I want to tell you that I'll be taking pictures of all my Christmas presents and showing them to you! I don't really like flaunting my stuff, but people seem to like that. Well, once it's Christmas and I get all of my presents I'll post it. Maybe not all of the presents, but the ones I like the most! So, check my blog around Christmas and if I haven't posted the post yet, it's probably because I'm busy with Christmas or I haven't gotten all of my presents yet. So, I promise I will do it even if after Christmas. I will also take pictures of me on Christmas and review my circle lenses after Christmas. So, there will be some semi-intersting posts soon, don't worry. I know my blog has been a drone lately!!!
P.S. wow! I said Christmas eight times in this one short post!!!
XOXO

Review Time: HoneyColor.com

So, if you have read my last post, you probably know that I ordered circle lenses from Honey Color (I'll review them when I get them). For now, I'll review the site and customer service of HoneyColor.com

I thought the site was pretty and professionally designed. That is a big thing to me because I won't buy from a site that is unattractive and unprofessional design. So, my Dad place the order for me on Thursday. I received an email saying they are processing my order on the same night, which is pretty good I think. They sent me an email this morning informing me that my order had been shipped and that I will receive my package on December 29th. WHAT!? I mean it's great that they shipped my order at the time they are supposed to, but after Christmas??? When I first ordered it, the confirmation email had said it would arrive right before Christmas! It is my Christmas present and I really wanted it ON Christmas. So, there's a thumbs down for me: they lie about delivery times!!! Anyways, now I have to wait four days after Christmas to get my package. Great!! (not) Well, I did want express shipping, but my Dad ordered without me with my Uncle and he said I didn't need express shipping, that my package will come before Christmas even with standard shipping. No, Mr. KnowItAll, it's coming all the way from Malaysia! Don't you understand that if it's coming all the way from there, it will take a long time? No, because you're a KnowItAll. So, thanks to him, now my lenses are coming four days after Christmas!!! I'm not the happiest person right now...

So, I've been hearing some pretty bad reviews on HoneyColor. Complaints such as: they don't reply to email, they don't send tracking numbers, they never ship their packages, they don't refund, they send refunds quicker than it takes to ship packages, they don't give reasons why they didn't send their packages, it takes forever for packages to come,and many more. But, they replied to my emails and they already shipped my package. Hopefully, nothing bad happens from here. I thought the customer service was the same as Zappos, which has very good service reviews. They sent my package out at the same time and it took the same amount of time to reply to my emails. They both sent me tracking information that didn't work right away, but that's how tracking numbers work. They don't give information right away. Overall, I thought HoneyColor's customer service was decent and acceptable.

When I get my lenses, if I don't have problems like other people, I'll tell you how my service has went from this point and review the lenses.

Wanna buy lenses from them?

I also have their site banner on my sidebar. Yes! That is what I wanted! Woo-Hoo!!!

My Book: Chapter 1

Hai!! I'm writing a book! Well, I have been for a while. Like a long while. I'm going to show you the first chapter of it! It's quite sad, so for those of you that don't like sad, dramatic stories, I wouldn't read this. So, read it and tell me what you think!! It's not about gyaru or anything like that, so people that aren't into gyaru reading my blog can read this!! It's pretty long and I didn't want it to take over my blog so click read more to, of course, read more!!

here you go:



Chapter 1
     
Now, Lilia Silversmith has been given the opportunity that every young ballerina dreams for, to have a chance at being big; to have their graceful steps and twirls mean something. This is a dream, so it seems, but little do these girls, including Lilia, know the harsh reality of the ballet world. Of course you’re probably thinking, “Working in a ballet company must be an amazing experience; your own vanity stall, new, shiny pointe shoes, beautifully elaborate costumes, day after day of dancing and nothing more. What more could a girl want.” You see, that’s the illusion. Of course for some people this experience can be life changing in a positive way but for others it might be life changing in a, let’s say, slightly negative way. Well for example, there’s Lilia; a sweet, innocent, smart, little ball of radiant light thinking she’s going to become a famous prima ballerina, to travel the world and perform in all the greatest ballets and meet all of the world’s most famous dancers. This is Lilia’s story in this journey many young dancers decide to make. This is her story of growing up and facing cold, raw reality.
      Lilia felt so alive every time she first walked into the Ballet Le Mystique Ballet Company building. The smell of powdered resin and oak wood filled her nose delightfully. She passed dance studio after dance studio, everyone in them working for the same thing she was working for the leading role in one or more of the big ballets that are put on by Ballet Le Mystique, like Giselle in Giselle and Odette in Swan Lake. She was new while so many girls at this company have been here for several years and have such a better chance at succeeding. This isn’t what Lilia really believed. That was what her mother, friends, and old dance instructors believe. Lilia believes she is a wonderful, outstanding dancer that is fresh-faced and willing to put her biggest effort into getting the part she desires and devoting her personal life to dancing. Well, she really is. Lilia does know that she is shy, quiet, and innocent, but she isn’t about to let the personality flaws that made school a living nightmare for her ruin her hopes and dreams at becoming a prima ballerina. She was independent and relied on herself. She never had many friends and she never really thought she needed them. To her dance was a friend; dance was her life. When she woke up in the morning, the first thing she thought of was dance. During the day, dance steps and routines filled her brain. At night she’s lie awake thinking about tomorrows dance class. In her sleep she dreams of dancing on stage in front of four thousand people. Dance seems to control her body like a drug addiction. She admits she is a little bit obsessive over dance, but dance is all she has ever had. I mean her family doesn’t understand what she wants to do with her life. Her only friend, Jesse, acts like Lilia is invisible and hangs out with a group of girls wearing Abercrombie, with straight hair and glossy lips. Lilia could never be one of those girls. She wasn’t ugly. She was very pretty. She could look the part if she tried, but she didn’t act like them. She didn’t giggle constantly or talk all the time and she never could. She was serene. She liked to wear soft ballet warm up clothes and natural makeup to school and she had wavy, light brown hair that she left down except when she was dancing. She was also quiet. So quiet that often, she would go whole school days without talking. Even though she was pretty no one seemed to notice her. They would talk about anything with their friends around her. She saw and heard everything but they never saw or heard her.
      Jesse had been the only person that she could turn to when she needed someone. Jesse liked to help and comfort people. Lilia would come and cry and moan about how she injured herself at dance or how the teacher is too hard on her even thought she works the hardest out of everyone in her ballet class. Lilia stuck to Jesse for the longest time, but when they got into high school they slowly began to drift apart. In their sophomore year is when Jesse started talking to Casey, a tall, tan, blond with everything Abercrombie and the straightest, shiniest hair. Jesse began to ignore Lilia more and more to the point where Lilia would call and Jesse would pick up the phone and hang up so she didn’t have to hear the phone ring over and over, let alone talk to Lilia. At school, Lilia would try to be with Jesse but Jesse would glance over her shoulder, pout her lips a little more and walk fast to catch up to Casey and the rest of her friends. Lilia didn’t take it that hard, however. She had other things to focus on; like schoolwork and dance. She would sit alone in classes and eat alone in the crowded cafeteria. She didn’t mind and nobody seemed to care.

      In Lilia’s junior year of high school, she decided that she had other priorities besides sitting alone and working on maths papers. She had to focus on the thing taking over her body. It seems silly to say that dance told her to quit school and audition for ballet companies in the city, but without dance she wouldn’t have even thought about quitting school. When she told her mother about her plans, her mother was devastated. She reprimanded her about throwing her future away and ruining any opportunity of becoming a successful lawyer like her. Lilia didn’t want to be a lawyer she wanted to dance. She only wanted to dance. Didn’t her mother understand that? Lilia told her that she was going to the city to audition for ballet companies. Her mom just snorted and said, “You’re going to choose a one out of a million dream instead of choosing over a successful, good paying job as a lawyer?” Lilia didn’t care what her mother said. She was used to people saying that a future in dance is virtually impossible. She would tell them of all the famous dancers and their success stories. They would only explain to her that she is not them she is only a little girl and that her plan isn’t practical. But she wasn’t about to let someone crush her dreams like that. She believed that if you want something bad enough and you really work for it, you will get it in due time.

Honey Color Circle Lenses

Today I was reading Xiaxue's blog and I came across one of her sponsors, Honey Color. So I went on their site and started browsing their selection of circle lenses. I found the same exact ones I was going to buy from Pinky Paradise. Yeah, I decided not to buy any of the circle lenses in my circle lenses post. I decided I really like the EOS Candy Magic King Size Blue contact lenses. They are so blue and big and pwetty and AMAZING!! Turns out they are almost $10 cheaper on Honey Color than Pinky Paradise and even express shipping is cheaper than Pinky Paradise!! That means I have more of a chance that my daddy will buy them for me (◕◡◕) hehehe!! and they come with an adorable animal contact case!! Oh how wonderful this site is!! My total order came out to $47.50 including shipping!! That is very cheap for my Christmas Wish List!! I can't wait until I convince my daddy to order these for meee!! Hopefully he will, since I don't got enough money to buy them. Plus, what else is he going to buy me for Christmas??? 


So Honey Color is the way to go when buying circle lenses!!!  


Here's a look at what I am buying: 


EOS Candy Magic King Size Blue circle lenses
Original $25.90 $20..70
comes with free animal case!!

Rohto C3Moist Contact Lens Eye Drops 13 mL
$11.90
I'm afraid of getting dry eyes and my lenses shrivelling up and moving around my eyes so I wanna order these eyedrops. Unfortunately, the drops I originally wanted are out of stock.
Here's a picture of my order: 
You see, only 47.50 for all of it plus EXPRESS shipping!! To me, that's absolutely AMAZINGLY AMAZING!!

Yves Rocher

I thought I should talk about my all time favourite brand of makeup and beauty products. Yves Rocher is an awesome brand!! They have high quality makeup minus the price of high-quality makeup (yeah I know that didn't make much sense, haha, but it's trure). The trend of buying from Yves Rocher was passed down from my Nana to my mom and onto me. It's a family girl tradioton (^_^) So, I am going to share a few of my favourite products that I have owned, own, or have tried and loved!! and, no, they're not my sponsor, they are simply a favourite brand of mine. 




So heres you go: 
***each picture of makeup is depicting the actual colour I mention
Velvety Loose Powder 
$13.00
This is an AMAZING translucent powder by Y.R. I own it right now and love it sooo much! I forgot about it for a while and just recently found it again, and I was like why was I using Covergirl powder instead of this? It gives your face a sheer, yet matte finish. It is smooth and lasts all day. It goes on smooth and doesn't look cakey. It contains bamboo silica which brightens your skin and creates a more flawless finish. It also smells like sandalwood and something sweet, but I don't really know what it is. It comes in two shades: pinky and beige. I have pinky because I'm not tan; when buying face makeup from Y.R. you need to buy pinky if your pale or beige if you have a deep or medium skin tone.I would strongly recommend this to anyone!! It's awesome!! 


Flawless Finish Fluid Foundation
$22.00
This is a great foundation, out of all of the foundations in the collection. It's funny because both products I have reviewed are from their Couleurs Nature collection. Well, this foundation is very light and smooth and  gives you a matte, yet dewy and bright complexion. If you apply two coats of it, your skin looks flawless!! It feels kind of thick at first but when you blend it and it starts to dry a bit, it feels almost like it's not there. I love the way it smells, too. It smells like raspberries and champagne, which is absolutely delicious smelling for foundation, however it doesn't make me break out or make me itchy like a lot of scented foundations do to me. I ran out recently, how sad. It's a really good foundation anyways. 


Flawless Finish Corrector 
$18.00
This corrector is good, but not the best. I bought it and I don't really use it anymore since I wear foundation more often instead. I had originally bought it because it had a heavier coverage since I had a problem with sensitive skin inflammations. It was good for covering up redness and it kind of soothed soreness and inflamed areas. That is why I liked it, but now I don't  need that since I don't get inflammations as much, so I just use foundation for even skin tone. So, it's a good concealer for people that want a heavy coverage, and flawless look. I bought it in Very Light Complexion, there is three other shades. 

Plumping Sheer Gloss
$10.00
This lip gloss is simply AMAZING!! I've bought it in two different shades: Coco and Framboise. The one I like better was Coco and that is the colour above. It's clear and sparkly; perfect for putting over lipstick or lipstain. It makes you lips twice their size and ultra, super glossy for that perfect pout. I also find that it is pretty long lasting. It doesn't mention that however. 

Duo Eyeshadow
$9.60
This eyeshadow is so pwetty. It goes on ultra smooth and it is very silky and pearly. I love how it gives you two shades for that extra oomph when your trying to bring out the natural colour in your eyes. I have green eyes so I bought the eyeshadow in Pistache Et Prun, which is French for pistachio and prune, which is light green and purple. (>.<) haha. I can't really tell if eyeshadow brings out the colour of my eyes, but I got a lot of compliments on my eyeshadow while wearing it. 

Eyeshadow Peche Mignon
$4.95
This is a beautiful eyeshadow. It comes in a big variety of colours; all bright and shimmery. My Nana used to use this one and she gave me her old one and I loved it, so I bought some more!! The shade I have used is Menthe A L'eau, or in other words a light, frosty blue. I usually don't like brightly coloured eyeshadows, but for some reason I absolutely love Yves Rocher coloured eyeshadows. It goes on very silky and it almost feels creamy when you put it on. Unfortunately, I can't find my lovely baby blue eyeshadow. 

Metaglow Cream Eyeshadow
$17.00
This creme eyeshadow is so beautiful. My mum bought it for me for my birthday. It's shimmery and smooth, and just, just... AMAZING!! I bought it in Chrome, which is silvery and metallic. It takes a while to dry, which is sometimes a pain because it gets on your eyelashes and it smudges easily, but if you've got the time and patience you could totally make a master piece out of your eyes with this. I haven't seen my Metaglow around, so perhaps I lost it? I don't know, I have way too much makeup to keep count. 

Derma-Calm Day Creme for Sensitive Skin
$14.50
This creme is specially made for sensitive skin. It calms and cools, which feels absolutely great after cleansing in the morning and before you go to bed. It's thick and hydrating enough that you can use it as a night creme. I love it!! You can get it scented and unscented. I got scented, but I didn't mean to. It smells good, though. It even evens out you skin tone and equalises your complexion!!

Dema-Calm Toner
$8.50
Toning is very important to me, since I have a very uneven complexion. I needed something that would calm my skin and not irritate it like acid based toners do. This toner is more creamy than liquid. I thought that was weird at first, but it feels really good. It eliminated all redness. 

Shimmering Sunless Tanning Gel Face & Body
$12.00
I'm very pale, so during the winter about twice a week I like to use sunless tanning lotion so I have a somewhat healthy glow instead of a pale, alabaster tone, ugh. This sunless tanner in particular is shimmery!! It doesn't make you that dark either, so you have a natural glowing tan instead of an orange, fake tan. 

Coconut Fizzy Bath Cube
$2.00
Ohhhhh, my love for bath fizzies (^_^) how they are so fizzy with their fizziness and their bubbles and... okay, anyways this bath fizzy is made of sugar!! Yeah, but it's not edible, thought. But, it smells so good!!! Like coconuts just better, like sweetened syrupy coconut milk with vanilla. They come in three scents, but coconut is a must try!! It smells so good you'll wanna eat it!! But you can't, how sad. It makes your skin soft and silky after is dissolves into you bath. 

Traditional Gardenia Oil Monoi
$15.00
This oil is like a magical elixir.. well to me at least. You can use it for so many different things, like: as an after sun moisturiser, in sun tanner, hair oil treatment, lotion, and bath oil. It's so AMAZING!! And it smells like, not only gardenia flowers, but with something better like coconuts and shea butter or maybe cocoa or something delicious like such. 
Phythum Replenishing Shampoo & Conditioner
$4.95 each
This shampoo repair damage and nourishes you hair. It made my hair softer, silkier and shinier. It  can make your hair a little greasy at times since it's very moisturising. I left my hair smelling great and the scent lasted all day almost like a perfume. Weird, huh?
Vanille Noire Eau De Parfum
$32
This is my absolute favourite fragrance from Y.R. It smells like a million vanilla beans surrounding me while warm vanilla cupcakes and coffee cake bake near by. Haha, I know I'm weird, but that is exactly how it smells. to me. It's like a warm, rich, deep vanilla scent with a little hint of light and sweet. It's a perfect autumn and winter fragrance since it smells warm and welcoming.


So, I just wanted to share some of my favourites from Yves Rocher with you!!
