Neutrogena Visibly Clear Formula Range Review

Hi guys, hope you all are doing great. I got sent some lovely skincare products and they are from giant skincare brand Neutrogena and this is their visibly clear range, they include a face wash, moisturiser and a spot stress control treatment. This review is very positive as i not only found them effective but have gotten myself a new facial regime.

First is the visibly clear oil-free facial wash, a thick gel texture with bronze orange colour which deeply cleanses the skin and remove any impurities, it literally removed my makeup in seconds with light scrub and left my face feeling fresh and relaxed. It wasn't too drying at all and i only needed 2-3 pumps to wash my entire face (it even removed my mascara and gel eye liner), it is suitable for all skin types which is a bonus and because it's oil free, it will help cleanse the skin from excess oil which produces pimples on the face, it also has a pleasant smell which i loev. The bottle looks good, very simply and has a pump to dispense product onto hand with a light press at the top, but i hate the fact that it's not travel friendly as it will leak at the tip once it's laid flat / packed in your wash bag. I highly recommend this product but please bear in mind it does not completely eliminate acnes, it only reduces them and prevent them from coming back/ recurring.

Next is the visibly clear oil-free moisturiser which in my opinion is perfect for me because i wear makeup practically everyday and this product is such a light moisturiser to help open up the pores and unclogs spots on my face, It's a creamy texture lotion that has menthol to it and i feel the fresh methol for about 5 mins after i apply it on my face. The smell is fresh and it melts into skin immediately, i really like this one and recommend it too, you can even use it under your makeup to keep it fresh all day.

Last but certainly not least is the visibly clear spot stress control moisturiser, i really like the name of this one because for all we know, we get spots on our faces due to stress and this ultra - light treatment cream with its Microclear technology is made to deeply penetrate into skin and help clear away spots, it feels so cool and smooth once absords on skin and i noticed how easy and smooth it glides onto skin and within seconds it dries up leaving skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated. It's not just a spot remover, it's also a stress reliever because you instantly feel calm along with a lovely fresh smell of green tea and cucumber extracts. All three products are great and are carefully developed with dermatologists which is why i highly recommend them to everyone and they are well priced and suit every skin type, one bottle/tube can last you a long time and you know you are getting value for money because the formulas are excellent and effective. Toodles and LoL,  bynki

Nars Turkish Delight Gloss Review

Hello my lovely readers, today am reviewing an old time favourite of mine, a lip gloss Nars 'Turkish Delight'. I have been using it for well over a year now but it only recently crossed my mind that i haven't reviewed it yet and that's because i'm actually not a lip gloss person at all thou i have a few. Let's start with the packaging - It comes in a typical lip gloss style long tube with a wand to apply the gloss, it's plain and simple and the tube is transparent allowing you to see the gloss itself, A very girly gorgeous shade with wearable pay-off.

Nars describes it as a pink sorbet colour but i say it's more like a soft baby pink with milky beige tone once applied onto lips, the formula is very creamy and pigmented that you can even wear it alone without lipstick. It looks thick but it's very lightweight when on the lips and i can tell you this gloss last a very long time, about 4-5 hours before it starts to fade. Another reason why i love this gloss is because of how moisturizing it is and the texture just can't be beaten! Nars lip glosses are by far the creamiest gloss i have ever used, that said they smell awful, the scent isn't pretty at all and like all lip gloss, it can look streaky with lines and patches if you don't prep your lip before hand. I mostly wear this gloss during summer as it creates that perfect pout for daytime or evening look, i think it's quite pricey for everyday wear as you can easily get a cheaper lip gloss that gives you a similar look But if you can afford it, get it as you wouldn't be dissappointed. This gloss remains one of my Favourite! Stay blessed everyone and Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Review

Hi guys, today am reviewing the Anastasia Beverly Hill DipBrow Pomade in Chocolate and this is a very positive review. Anastasia beverly hill is a well known brand and she is very famous amongst celebrities and known as the queen of brows. I was particularly drawn to this product because i have heard many good things about it being smudge proof and water proof. I decided to try this dipbrow pomade myself as i already have the brow wiz pencil in soft brown, i wanted to compare both.

We all know having a perfect brow is very essential to one's face and brow brings out the shape of the face. This dipbrow pomade is a miracle and i think i actaully prefer it to my brow wiz pencil in soft brown also from Anastasia ( i love my brow wiz still and my shade soft brown is everything)

It's a gel texture pomade with the same consistency of a cream eyeliner, very creamy and a little goes a long way, just one dip on my angled brow brush is enough to fill both my brows leaving me with a very natural look and it drys in like 5 seconds, it's so easy to apply and it blends effortlessly on the skin. What stands out the most is the lasting power of the product, it will last you from the minute you apply it till when you decide to take it off at night and you might even need a makeup remover to do so. It doesn't smell and it's not sticky either and it's perfect for any brow (full or scantly) and any weather.

Be rest assured this pomade would fade out during the day as it's very pigmented therefore perfect for every skin types from dry to very oily.  It comes in 5 gorgeous shades - Blonde, Ebony, Auburn, Chocolate, Dark Brown. The packaging is very pretty, sturdy and of high quality, it looks just like Mac paint pots. I really like this product as it can take you from natural look to a more dramatic look all depending on how much you apply. I highly recommend it if you'll looking for good quality brow product as you wouldn't be dissappointed, Enjoy the rest of you day and Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Origins Super Spot Remover Review

Hello my wonderful readers, today am reviewing this blemish treatment gel called Origins Super Spot Remover. I have quite a lot of blemishes right now and it's freaking me out they are refusing to go, so i got this gel to help clear my face. Firstly the product promises to correct visible blemishes and help skin eliminate excess oils and pore clogging, it has skin calming caffeine and red algan to help relieve redness, the buzz surrounding this product is very positive so i thought to give it a try because i couldn't resist hoping it will clear my face but sadly it didn't do much (had high expectations). I was sad and confused at the same time because the product contained Salicylic acid which is a key and powerful ingredient to help fight spot.

It comes in a pint sized plastic bottle and has a clear gel texture with very strong smell, i used it twice a day on clean skin (avoiding the eye area) and immediately i could feel it sting and that told me it was working. You only need apply a tiny amount because it's very drying and too much drying can flake the skin, i didn't have an issue with the drying because i have oily skin. I was surprised at how small the bottle is as the price is pretty high £14 but i can guarantee it will last a long time. It's definitely not a holy grail product for me but i can firmly say it did reduce the size of my larger breakouts and also the redness making my face feel calm but all the spot remained. That said i will NOT be buying this product again simple because it didn't do what i expected of it. Rightnow i'm just going to stick with my normal facial routine because i know these blemishes were as a result of testing and using different foundations/products on my face so i feel like if i let my face relax, it will all dissappear hopefully. I wish you all a happy weekend, Toodles. xoxo  bynki

A Little January Haul

Hello guys! I did a little haul from boots the other day and almost everything i got where either half price or buy one get one half price. I love to shop in boots when they have promotions and discount sales because one can stock up on basic essentials for less. Included in this haul is my new Anastasia beverly hills dipbrow pomade, it's the lastest product from the queen of brows and i decided to get one for myself because i love her products. i dropped it in this boots plastic when it arrived.

After my review on the Wilkinson Intuition sword i received for free, i told you guys i was going to repurchase the product because i really liked it, well i bought two. I picked up the revitalising and sensitive care sword at boots and i got them for half price £3.49 each (what a bargain). I also got Nivea pearl and beauty roll-on, it's my favourite one and i love how it keeps my under arm dry and smooth all day, it smell lovely too, very feminine. Next is the Maybelline baby lips, after i did a post during the launch of these balms, i got sent some for review but i mistakenly gave them out to a friend without even testing them out (how silly), i saw them on promo for buy one, get one half price and decided to buy two colours i believe i would use, they are Peach Kiss and Pink Punch. I also got the Origins super spot remover, remember i told you guys that my face is breaking out big time, well i bought this to help treat it. Then i got a new nail polish remover, this one really caught my eye, it's different from the regular liquid bottle remover that you use with cotton wool, this one is called Pretty Quik Manicure on the go, it claims it's an instant nail polish remover, i can't wait to try it and do a review on it. Last but certainly not least is Anastasia brow pomade, a cream brow filler, i have the pencil brow wiz and it's fab so am hoping this will top it. I shall be doing a review on each items individually once i use them particularly the Origins. Wishing you all a great week ahead, Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Glossybox January 2014 Back To Basics Review

Hi my lovely readers, i received my GB box on tuesday morning and with excitement opened the box only to find these annoying products inside, i say annoying only because i had high expectation for the first box of the year tagged back to basics. However i used some of the products yesterday and i'm going to talk about them eventhou i have mixed feelings about some of the products, So let's go....

YU-BE Moisturising Skin Cream - I have never heard of this product before and i don't intend using it either so for me it's a complete waste. i got 2x 3g samples and the full size price is £13.50 for 33g

BALANCE ME Super Toning Body Wash - I might probably use this one day to relax when i run out of body wash so i'll keep it close by incase. It says it's a morning toning boost wash and i received a 50ml sample, the full size is £10.50 for 250ml

THE VINTAGE COMESTICS COMPANY  Floral Slated Tweezers - I have got so many tweezers both in my kit and personal use (i love my Anastasia beverly hill one ) but this looks pretty and very girly so i will definitely be using it. I received the full size item which cost £8.00

ANATOMICALS Puffy the Eye Bag Slayer Wake-up Under Eye Patches - This is an eye patch to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles under the eye skin, do i really need these now? No!. I received 2x 6g Sachets which i feel is very generous. the full size is 3x 6g for £6.00

VASELINE Essential Moisture Lotion - Vaseline is a very good moisture lotion especially in the cold weather, i used this yesterday on myself and my kids and i was impressed with it, it's non greasy and absorbed immediately into our skin. I like it and would for sure be buying the full size. I got the 50ml sample and the full size is £4.99 for 400ml.

This month's box in my opinion is worth around £18-£19 which is fair but because the products inside have not much use to me, i would say am disappointed. But i would be very happy to pass the ones i wouldn't be using to someone who will, if you would like to have them, pls email me and i'll gladly send them to you. Wishing you all a great day, Toodles, xoxo bynki

Pro Hygiene Brush Cleaner & Wet N Wild Lipstick Review

Hi guys, hope you all are doing well. Reviews on this blog has been quite slow and that's due to a few reasons, i'll be honest i've been suffering from a really rough breakout because of different products i test out everyday and i guess my face could'nt take it anymore and finally reacted. It's a shame because i must personally test out products myself before i write a review on them or recommend it to you guys whether or not it's worth buying. And because i get sent different products from different company, there's so much to try on one face (just my face), and that's why i haven't been posting makeup reviews lately, allowing my face time to heal before i put anything makeup on, because my face looks like crap right now. I got some handmade products and some Origins products to use and so far, it's working. In the meantime i will be reviewing other makeup related products and today am talking about this amazing brush cleaner and lovely lipstick.

This is the Pro Hygiene Collection makeup brush cleaner, it's a duo combined product and i must say how happy i am to have it. It's a spray cleaner with antibacterial to reduce any infection you might get from using your makeup brushes on different faces and to clean your brushes at the same time, honestly i love this product as it saves me time and can remove anything from product residue to oil whilst still sanitizing my brushes. It says it kills 99.99% of bateria within 60 seconds with just one spray and guess what?? it does Exactly that! I use it on both my natural and synthetic brush and other tools in my kit. The packaging is very simple and easy to use, i particularly like the spray nozzle as it is sturdy and dispenses just the right amount i need to wipe my brushes. I use kitchen towels as a base to do the cleaning as it's more effective and fast. As a MUA, ensuring my makeup tools and kit are clean is super important because you are applying and using same tool on different people, you have to keep yourself and your clients safe by washing, cleaning and disinfecting all your work tools. I strongly recommend this and also check out their other products.

This lipstick is by Wet & Wild in Cherry Bomb, it's a lovely deep dark red colour that gives a very vampy look and i'm so impressed with it, i have had it for a while now and thought to do a review on it. I requested for this shade because i couldn't get the riri hearts mac talk that talk lipstick and this was the closest dupe to it and i can tell you, it's even better because TTT is very dry and patchy.

Wet & Wild lipsticks are not available here in the UK therefore it's quite a struggle to find a seller, i got mine from a friend who visited the US a while back. This cherry bomb shade makes me feel very sexy when i have it on, it's perfect for fall and winter season or date night. I particularly like the satin finish it gives and it's so pigmented too, i'm tempted to get more of their lipstick because they have stunning shades and the price is unbelievable, they cost just $1.99, say whattt???. This lipstick doesn't require lip liner because it's very rich in colour but i suggest you blot when you apply to avoid thin lines on the lip and bleeding. I'm definitely keen for more Wet & Wild products like their eyeshadow palettes and eye liners, have you guys tried any of their products before?. Have a lovely day and Toodles. xoxo  bynki

Rihanna New Spokeswoman For Mac Viva Glam

Mac Comestics has chosen Rihanna to collaborate with again, this time for their Viva Glam Campaign, she will be their new spokesperson for 2014. The beauty shades will feature riri chic frost red lipstick and lipglass. RiRi is a force to reckon with as her love for bold lipstick is something every girl would want and personally speaking, i find her a great match for this campaign especially after her last year success with them (Mac) where products sold out in minutes. (RiRi Hearts Mac).

Mac Viva Glam  (for those who don't know) actually helps contribute to HIV/AIDS cause, for every product you buy, Mac donates every cent to the fund towards helping women, men and children living with this disease. Rihanna says makeup is her major accessory, it can make her outfit, change her outfit and that's why she loves to play with colours. Viva Glam has seen other celebrities support its cause from Nicki Minaj to Lady Gaga, each having products named after them. I can't wait for the release this month ending and am looking forward to it, hope you are too! Have a Fab day everyone and God bless. Toodles, xoxo  bynki
