NYC Concealer

Purchase: $3.99 w/ 20% off at London Drugs
Colour Choices: 6 out of 10

When it comes to NYC concealer you get what you pay for. I found that this product was way too dry and didn't blend very well in to my skin. It was also really thick so it looked way too cakey. It also only comes in 3 flesh tones and 2 colour correcting colours so there is really not a very good selection. However, you can buy one in each colour to add to your makeup collection if you are in a bind. It's also a good size to carry around with you for any emergency touchups that need to be done throughout the day especially for around the nose area which tends to get very red this time of year (cough sneeze cough). I would definitely not suggest using this under the eyes but it can be used on blemishes, and the nose area.

Don't forget your neck!

How many of you wash your neck? How many of your moisturize or apply firming creme? That's what I thought. Recently, I discovered how important it is to clean your neck. I often forget about this important part of my body and don't wash it when I wash the rest of my face. Try to get in the habbit of treating the skin on your neck like the skin on your face. Often, people can tell how old a person is by how wrinkly and saggy their neck is. Therefore, make sure to tone your neck as you do the rest of your face, wash it with a wash cloth and apply moisturizer in the evening and morning. This is especially important in the winter time because of all the cold air that is blowing at your neck and/or the dirt and oil from your scarves. So don't forget about your neck!

Smashbox Bionic Mascara

Purchase: Aprox $22 @ Sephora
Packaging: 5 out of 10
Volumizing: 7 out of 10
Lengthening: 6 out of 10

In my opinion, this product is horrible. It was only rate 3.2 out of 5 on Sephora as well. I found that the product was very thick and clumpy from first use. Also, it was so thick that when I put the brush back in some of the product would ooze out over the sides so that after the 4th use I could not close the packaging properly. Some who reviewed it on Sephora also said it dried out their lashes and made them break off so be careful with this stuff! And in general, try not to curl your lashes after you apply mascara for risk of breakage. So save your money and don't purchase this product!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar K Review

Purchase: $30 @ London Drugs
Acne Fighting Power: 9 out of 10
Consistency: 10 out of 10

I love this stuff! It is fantastic! The liquid goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly in to the skin. I usually use a Retinoid treatment at night called Defferin but I tried this for almost two months to see if it had the same effects and it did! I stopped using it and went back to Defferin and I had my first blemish in 2 months! What a shame. I definitely recommend this as a nigh time treatment, especially if you use it about a week before that special time of the month when your acne might pop up again. Give it a try and ask your local LD cosmetician for a sample!
