What I bought:

Who it's for Ideal for those with dark circles, and aging skin around the eyes.
What it's for To reduce puffiness and dark circles in the eye area.
My Review:
I have severe dark circles due to lack of sleep. I blame that on hereditary and school days. I slept late and that's what I got. This product has helped reducing puffiness and dark circles. Thumbs-up! I definitely recommend this product. It's not that expensive and it smells good. P.S - I have tried those expensive eye creams but nothing worked. So thank you Apothica for carrying this product!
About the product
Gently cleanse your entire body. La Roche-Posay Lipikar Surgras Cleansing Bar is a safe cleansing solution for severely dry skin. It will not alter the pH of the skin and it maintains the skin's natural lipid balance to fight dryness. It is a cleansing bar that cleans better than soap, without drying the skin.5.30 fl oz
Who it's for Ideal for moderate to severely dry, itchy, flaky skin.
What it's for Cleansing and hydrating the skin of the face and body without irritation.
My Review:
This soap is very moisturizing, and I love its clean scent! I use it as a body soap, and I know I am quite sensitive to anything that has fragrance, or weird ingredients. Well, so far this soap hasn't caused any rash or redness on my body, and no break out even.Will definitely repurchase! :)

Has any one ever tried Smashbox Halo Foundation? Coz I just did!
Hello Ladies,
Happy Thursday! I can't wait for tomorrow to come because I will head to Sephora Hollywood & Highland to get some new foundations right after work! :) Yes, more foundations! In my previous post, I had mentioned that I bought several items from Sephora last week, unfortunately some of them did not work well with my skin type.
One of them is Smashbox Halo Foundation, and let me tell you why......
What it is: A face-perfecting anti-aging powder and brush duo.
What it does: Smashbox HALO Hydrating Perfecting Powder HALO is the first anti-aging powder with the science of skin care built in. It's advanced formulation of pure gold, 48 minerals, 11 amino acids and a powerful peptide deliver powerful anti-aging benefits while the patented hydration system continuously revitalizes skin and provides a hydrated look that won't accentuate lines and wrinkles. The built-in shaver allows for the convenience of a pressed powder combined with the radiant finish of a loose one, and the super-sized brush deposits the perfect amount of powder every time.
My Verdict:
As you can see from the picture, the design of the case is quite remarkable. I can't deny that. The built-in shaver only shaves a little amount of powder, which means you won't have a messy and dirty looking case. ;). It has a mirror too, which is a plus! The only thing I don't like is that the case is quite bulky and heavy. It's not the type that I would like carry around in my purse. =/
Now, let me talk about the foundation. The texture is so light and "airy", and it does not get "cakey" on my skin. Most powder foundations I have tried in the past were not helping the appearance of my skin at all. They ascentuate the lines (that I don't have) and pores! If you don't have pores, and suddenly you see them all, you become self-conscious, you know? This Halo powder is great, awesome, and amazing; however, I have to keep on reapplying it every single hour, and I was annoyed by it. I don't like reapplying my makeup at all. Once or twice is fine, but constantly? Hmmmm nope. Another thing that bothers me too is that the coverage is not as great as Bare Minerals. Don't expect this powder to cover imperfections because the coverage is very light, but somewhat buildable. If you are looking for a medium to full coverage, this powder is not for you. But, if you are looking to minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores, and have a glowy healthy looking skin at the same time, this HALO powder is definitely it.:) Give it a try! :)
Anyway, I have to return this back to Sephora because I don't like a bulky powder that doesn't fit in my makeup bag, and the constant "buffing" and reapplying. Sorry Halo. It's not you, it's just me! =/

Why do people wear make-up? Cover blemishes.. Impress themselves.. Impress others.. Look younger.. look older.
Everyone has their own reasons for wearing make-up. Some are 1000% more over the top then others, i.e, Orange faces, Spider length eyelashes, Unmissable pink cheeks.
It's unfair for me to say this is because they have not yet discovered the correct rules to putting on make-up because believe it or not that is not always the case.
Make-up is a way of how people express themselves or even ways of making their outfits look that much better.
Its funny how the ones with the craziest and the weirdest faces get the most of our attention though isn't it.
