Review on Maybelline dream bouncy blush

I've been meaning to do this but somehow I keep on holding it off. I took the pictures a while back but haven't post about it yet.

This is how the product looks like. I think I got the one in rose petal.

Before use:

   Before using it, my thought about the maybelline dream bouncy blush:


            *pigmented - would give me a nice pinkish color which would be buildable
             * feels soft and dreamy
             * creamy bouncy blush

After using it a few times:

*very sheer...not what I was expecting
*the product just love to move around
*apply it with finger

The one on the left is only one swatch while the one on the right I had to swatch 5-7 times just to get to my desire color which wasn't even close. Anyways, as you can see, it's very very sheer. What I love about it is that I use it on my nose ridge, which makes my nose looked more narrow.

So this is how it look like on my cheek. It's more like my natural blush although I wished it would had given a better pop of color. (* excuse my picture above as I have nothing underneath, still a beginner to makeup and I breakout using foundation)


Overall, I don't know whether I should recommend it or not. I start breaking out after a couple of use and have heard from others that they also break out too. Aside from that, I had to apply it on my cheeks several times just to get that natural blush look.

BeautyArmy Box- April 2012

This is the April BeautyArmy box which is the March selection. I got my box within a week after I selected the 7 sample. The extra one was because of the late shipping since my last box got lost somewhere in the warehouse.

The sample size aren’t that bad but I would love to see more cosmetic which I know this coming up selection might have some.  So on to the sample that I choose, which are:

1     1)      Weleda iris hydrating facial lotion –all natural face cream that is light, fast-absorbing that regulates your natural moisture balance and provides long-lasting protection against drying out.

2     2)      Weleda iris hydrating day cream- all natural face cream is a nutrient-intensive treatment that balances your skin’s natural moisture and provides a healthy base for facing forward and starting a beautiful day

3     3)      Babor sun care system spf 30- a moisturizing sun lotion for the face and body.

4     4)      Kellett skincare clarifying acne treatment- helps clear up existing acne pimples and prevent breakouts by penetrating pores and killing acne causing bacteria

5     5)      Cover FX skin prep fx- a oil and fragrance free primer that’s for all skin types including sensitive skin.

6     6)      Aquolina pink sugar eau de toilette natural spray- It have a vanilla, woody, floral, candy scent.

7     7)      Control corrective botanical soothing cream spf 30

So far I tried the pink sugar eau de toilette and it’s not that strong but I’m not into much of the floral woody smell. It smell good but later on it start to bothered me since the smell lasted for a while that I couldn’t take it anymore. I can say it’s for those that aren’t as sensitive to the floral woody smell.

If I ever tried out more of the sample above, I’ll update about it. Usually if it’s a product that I tried and liked or loved, I would post it up.

Review on Boo Boo Cover-up

For my March beautyarmy box (should be Feb selection but March for me since received my box in march), Boo Boo Cover-up was one of the sample that I choose. When I first open it, I thought I got rip off on my sample size. It was sooooo small. You can say that it's less than a teaspoon.

Boy was I wrong about the small sample size. A little goes a long way. So far I've been using it every day and I'm not even close to half way done! Just a little light dab and you already got more than enough for that particular spot that you wanna cover up.

What I usually do is lightly dab it and cover up my acne scar or pimple that form during that day. It can also cover up any redness, under eyes dark circle, or just about anything that you want to cover up. The sample size shade is in medium but it looks more like a fair skin/light shade. It's the perfect shade for me but I would recommend to use one shade higher as I'm a light/fair skin asian type and the medium shade is pretty light.

So, after using the Boo Boo cover-up, I would use my skin79 BB cream over it. That's just basically my routine whenever I feel like putting on make up. Another thing is that formula is pretty thick so you don't need a lot.

Children's Claritin BzzCampaign Review

Right when I receive my Children's Claritin BzzKit, I immediately gave my 2 year old son a chewable. He had been having a runny nose for about a week now and I couldn't do anything to help other than fighting (not literally fighting but you know what I mean...it's hard when you have such a strong and tough toddler) with him just to wipe his nose! As an infant, my husband and I always have a hard time giving him medication compare to his sisters. I'm quite surprise that he actually ate the chewable and wasn't aware that it was actually medicine! It's not icky, it's good, and he ask for more but nope, only one allow.

Results? He wasn't drowsy afterward but had so much energy searching as high as he can just to look for more "candy". After a while he gave up. Anyways, about half an hour later I noticed that his nose isn't runny anymore. No more boogy wipes! Yippeeeeeeee...... It's been 2 days now and still, no runny nose. I still can't believe this....it seem so unreal... why haven't I gotten this before?

I definitely recommend this for allergy relief although I have not tried the syrup yet. If I ever do, I'll update more. I usually don't talk much about children's medicine but this is something that I would buy in the future and just had to share it with everyone!


*** This is my honest opinion about the Children's claritin chewable. I would never give false review just so the item/product that I received look good.

Truvia® Natural Sweetener

Whenever I drink coffee, I usually use use regular sugar. Truvia is a alternative sugar if you want a healthier lifestyle.

It's not a sugary taste but have a bit of sweetness in it. Kind of remind me of the nerd's candy.

What I got was a small box that contain 7 individual packets. So far, I use it in coffee and kool aid. I still don't know whether I should buy some or not. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Children's Claritin BzzCampaign

Look what I got in the mail today!!!!!

My BzzAgent Children's Claritin kit! I'm not really big on allergy medication for my kids so this will be the first time that I would give them this. The first thing I did was gave my 2 year old son a chewable. He's usually really hard to give medication to..even as a baby, my husband and I had a hard time giving him medication. I'm quite surprise that he actually likes it. He's been having a really bad running nose for a few days now so since I received my kit today, I'll just give it a shot.
I'll update how it goes in a few days or whenever I'm free to blog up.

What the Bzzkit include:
- A box of Children's Claritin Grape Chewables
- 2 oz bottle of Children's claritin Grape syrup
-Coupons to share with the people I talk with

I received these from Bzzagent.com It's free to join! All you have to do is sign up and take some surveys. Whenever there are campaigns open and if you're choosen, you'll be sent a bzzkit. All you have to do is give your honest opinion and word of mouth (talk to others).

Venus and Olay razor

After going through different shaving gel/cream, I couldn't find the old discontinue shaving gel that I've used a few years back. That left my skin feeling soft and smooth after shaving.

Well, I finally found my favorite razor! Not only does I get a close shave but a soft silky smooth leg. On top of that, it cut my time by 3/4. Shaving has never been better for me. All I did was hop into the shower and do what I normally do. After that, shaved without the need to put cream/gel on. It's much much faster. If you have kids, I definitely recommend this as it'll be faster.

The only thing is that I wished they include a case because the thought of hanging it just terrified me. What if my razor happen to fall off? You know how kids are curious and will touch things without knowing whether they will get hurt or not. As for now, I'm just keeping it in the plastic container that it came in. Otherwise, I definitely recommend it. You won't regret it!
