Products I'm Loving Right Now!

So this was going to be a video, but I can't seem to find batteries right now. So here's just a couple beauty products I'm loving right now!!

1. Schick Intuition Razor

This razor comes with a water soluble solid shaving cream (? I guess?). It wears down really fast, but it makes it super easy shave!! This has made it way easier to shave my legs, I hate doing it, and I cut myself A LOT. This razor has guards on the blades so if it slips, I don't cut myself.


2. Quo by ORLY - Strong Bond Base Coat

I've been looking for a base coat that works as well as ORLY Bonder, but easier to find. This is the best I've found so far. It's a sticky base coat, so it doesn't really dry. It holds the polish colour on really well, and helps prevent chipping. I had a manicure on for about 5 days before it chipped.

3. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream

I have oily/combo skin and have a hard time finding a good moisturizer. This by far is the very best I've tried yet. It's a gel cream (hence the name), and it absorbs very quickly, without leaving any sort of oily residue. I can apply my foundation on right after, no problems.

Quo Facial Polish

I got this when I was looking for a new exfoliator. My Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant has finally ran out. This cost me about $10 at Shoppers Drug Mart.



 The directions instruct to use after cleansing your face, and massage gently avoiding the eye area. Rinsing after. It also says to use it 1-3 times a week. You really don't want to over exfoliate.

The texture is a thick cream with micro beads that do not dissolve.

At first I really liked this product, it was gentle but I felt like it was doing something, because of the beads. Then I went to wash it away and I felt like it leaves an oily film on my face. My face is combo, leaning towards oily, and I don't really want my face left with a residue after I wash it.

Now I use it but I'll cleanse again after to remove the film. I feel like it does a good job of exfoliating. I don't get red or irritated from it, which is common for me. My skin is very sensitive.

I would recommend this product if you have a drier complexion, and are looking for a little something extra to moisturize. If you're combo/oily like me, take a pass on this one.

Quo Make-up Remover Wipes Review

I'm always on the look out for a good make-up wipe. I just can't be bothered with liquid make-up removers I have to shake and put on a cotton pad, blah blah blah. I want to pull out a tissue, wipe my face and get on with my night.

So I headed out to my favorite drugstore, Shoppers Drug Mart, and picked up these bad boys.
