Neutrogena Sunscreen Review

** I rarely do reviews and hauls, if you want a great blog for those, check out: sizbelle

In the summer, it is SO important to protect yourself from the sun. Even though it's nice to have the sun out and all, the sun can cause skin cancer and premature aging. Make sure you use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 everyday to prevent this! Many people (like myself) hate using sunscreen because of the thick consistency, oilyness, and white marks that it leaves. BUT! I found this sunscreen from Neutrogena that is lightweight and non-greasy which is AWESOME!

Product: 9/10
Packaging: 10/10
Quality: 9/10
Overall: 9.5/10
Where to buy: Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharmaplus, Walmart, Zellers, Loblaws, etc (pretty much anywhere that sells skincare products)
Price: $12.99
Would I buy again: Definately!


The product
description on the back:
Protects: SPF 45 sunscreen provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection against sun's harmful rays. Moisturizes: Lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and keeps skin hydrated all day. Non-comedogenic: Won't clog pores, which can cause breakouts.

What I like about it:
  • SPF 45 !!!!! and BOTH UVA and UVB protection
  • Like it states, its VERY lightweight and non-greasy
  • Absorbs into skin very quickly and keeps my skin moisturized
  • The packaging is very nice and the squeeze-tube makes it easy to dispense
  • Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
  • I only need to use very little product to cover up whole face
  • Does not leave behind white streaks or a white cast over face (like most sunscreens)
What I don't like about it:
  • My only dislike: the scent smells like usual sunscreen
  • I would have rather tried the tinted version but they did not have it in stock @ Shoppers
***EXTRA BONUS: I love using this suncreen as a primer for my Skinfood Aloe BB cream because it gives my face a very moisturized and silky finish which helps my BB cream spread on better :D

Glamorous August Edition

NEW FOUND LOVE - EGOIST

Yesterday night, I was reading Val Chante's blog and OMGOSH, she posted a pictures of clothes from a Japanese online clothing store and it was like love at first sight! I absolutely adore the clothes from that brand - it's very fashionable, timeless, and feminine :D The name of the online store is Egoist and you can check it out here! I picked out some of my favourites from the site to share with you guys:

Just click the photo to get to the url of where you can purchase it!It's too bad they don't sell it here in Canada or....anywhere else besides Japan. It's a pain to pay $2038029382083274 in shipping from the website :(~ but ANYWHO I'm super exicted to see their fall collection coming up! It's always soo exicting when you find a new unique store! I really rather purchasing from small boutiques and unique designers than getting something that everyone already has - but too bad it's always so MUCH more expensive!

P.S. Thank you guys so much for supporting me in my last post :) I really appreciate it <3~

Negative comments + Glamorous July 2009

How to deal with negative comments: As you guys know, I just created my blogspot + facebook for my jewelry business. I know a lot of people are supporting me and I truly appreciate it. But once there are people that like your stuff, there are always the other side: the haters. I got my first negative comment today, saying that they doubt my shop will work, and that I have very few members on my fb group. At first, I had a mixture of feelings: very mad with a f-u attitude and dissapointment as well. But then, I realize, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, there will ALWAYS be someone that will critize your work. Especially in business, you have to have "thick" face and just put a smile on at the end of the day. Instead of getting all agitated and angry about it, why not use these critisms to even BETTER yourself right? I know that my business WILL work. I don't care what anyone has to say about it, it WILL happen. I will get more members and my business will work. I'll prove you wrong. But more importantly, I want to prove to myself that I can do it. Please support me, you can join here. My goal is 100+ members on my facebook group by the end of July. I know I can do it :)


I really had to get that out of my system. I am learning everyday about how to deal with these kinds of situations. Anyways, my next topic is about the Glamorous magazine.
I think either Glamorous or Pretty Style has my FAVOURITE styles for fashion. It's feminine, stylish, and put-together.
