Origins Super Spot Remover

Hey guys!

I thought I would share with you my favorite product to get rid of pimples. It's my Origins Super Spot Remover.

I have to say for time I saw it I was a little disappointed... it's so small and not cheap!
It's now retailed in Sephora for 17$ (on the canadian website). At that price you expect a product of 10ml (0.3fl.oz) to be amazing and in that case it's the truth.

The active ingredient in it is salicylic acid.
For how effective it is, you would think it has a high percentage but it only has 1.5%.
It's probably due to the fact that it has a gel consistency. The gel won't go anywhere else!

It is the best product I have ever used to get rid of acne! After a few hours there is already a huge difference and overnight my pimples were almost gone.
I have very dry and sensitive skin and I didn't have any bad reaction to it.

As you can see this product has been well loved... I'm almost out of it :S
But it has lasted me over a year so I guess it's not bad!

I love the packaging.. you can easily control how much you use and you won't spill it.

A little tip (useful not only with this product) is to not "over used it" (let's be honest we all tend to do that!). By that I mean that if you apply a lot of it pretty often and you don't moisturize your skin, you might dry patches around the pimple.


I love the packaging because you can easily control how much you use and you won't spill it.


+++ Very effective
+ The gel consistency helps treating only the area that you want
+ Packaging

- Not cheap (17$) but well worth it
- Little bottle (it still lasted me over a year!)


Will I repurchase?

YES without a doubt!

I hope you enjoyed :)

NYX mega shine lip glosses part 2: reviews and swatches

Hey guys!

Here's part 2 of the swatches:

From the bottom: Perfect red, salsa, la-la, smokey look, tea rose, beautiful and nude pink

From the bottom: Perfect red, salsa, la-la, smokey look, tea rose, beautiful and nude pink

From the left: Perfect red, salsa, la-la, smokey look, tea rose, beautiful and nude pink

Bare lips

Perfect red

Perfect red: Creamy classic red. It's not too blue toned or too orange. It is extremely opaque, one swipe and you get this intense color. I would recommend wearing a lipliner with it!

salsa

 Salsa: This lipgloss has a mauve color with some really fine blue and silver shimmers. You don't really see them on your lips.

La-la

 La-la: Sheer coral color. You can either wear it with a coral lipstick to make it more vibrant or over a nude one to make it more fun for the summer! In the tube (like sugar pie) it seems like there would be some tiny shimmers in it but you don't notice them on your lips.

Smokey look

Smokey look: In the tube and even when you swatch it, this color can be a little intimidating for people with light skin. But it's a sheer gloss so it won't look as orange on your lips as you can see. It turns out to be a warm nude color. Like the name says, it's beautiful with a smokey eyes!

Tea rose

Tea rose: When you see this lip gloss in the tube, it looks like a mid toned mauve color. Turns out it's a sheer version of it. It's more wearable and looks more like a mid toned mauvy pink without shimmers.

Beautiful

 Beautiful: The base color of this one looks similar to the beige lip gloss (mid toned pink). Only it has some noticeable gold shimmers in it. The shimmers stay on your lips even when you don't have any more gloss on!

Nude pink

Nude pink: Opaque creamy peachy pink color. Keep in mind that the cream colors look better when you let them sit on your lips for a little while! It's another version of a nude lipgloss that won't make you look dead.

Hope you enjoyed :)
