Clinique 3-Step Acne Solutions Review Week 4-6 -

Since there hasn't been "rapid" change in terms of my skin after week 3 I decided to combine the rest of the weeks. I've been using the 3-Step Acne Solutions kit for 6 weeks now (duh, S - it says so in the title :x) its been good to me for the most part though I do have a slight itchiness along my chin from time to time, but nothing a little moisturizer can't fix. As you all know from reading my week 1 review, I loved this product sooo much because I started seeing a noticeable difference right off the bat. But, by week 3 my skin was pretty much the same. Even though, the changes has slowed down a lot, I still see gradual effects. There definitely has been a decline in redness. It eliminated my break out spots on my forehead and around my inner eyebrow area. The Acne Solutions kit is not the same as previous products I've used and what I mean by that is. Previous products I've used I saw drastic improvement in the beginning for the first two weeks or so but then my skin adapts to the cleanser and its back to breaking out all over again, however this product isn't like that for me. I'll admit that during my fourth and fifth week of using it I was worried that it no longer had an effect on my skin just like previous products, but I was definitely wrong. I noticed that I stopped having a lot of pimples and break outs around my face and there was less redness on my cheeks. Now I could actually put on blush without fearing that it is highlighting acne scars making them look inflamed. :). I am planning on buying a new skin care set in the summer so I can switch out my products and I'll blog about it when I do :]

Revlon Sugar Plum

I am really loving Revlon's Sugar Plum nail polish from the Top Speed line. It is a frosty red violet color with beautiful red and gold microglitters. The only things I dislike about this polish the polish doesn't dry as fast as I thought it would. On the back of the bottle it says it takes 60 seconds to dry; I found that to be untrue. The other thing I disliked about it, isn't so much the polish's fault, just the brush. To my horror, I noticed the brush had bristles coming out before I even used it so it created little scratch marks/dents in my polish :/. The formula is good close to China Glaze, Essie, or OPI. However, I have used lighter colors than this and the formula was not good. The light pink Revlon Scented nail polish called Cotton Candy, was really sheer when I applied it... and the smell was very tiring. I've also used a frosty yellow I think its called Electric from the Top Speed line and it was very streaky. The only commonality that I see were both colors were light... So... I think I'll continue to purchase darker colors from Revlon rather than lighter ones...

Cute Panda Nails :)

After trying out my Lippmann glitter polishes I hit a nail polish funk. I wanted to wear a new polish but at the same time I wanted to put a cute design on my nails that didn't take any effort. Well, I didn't cover my whole nail with a nail polish color but I did decide to give Cutepolish's Panda design a whirl and I'm so glad I did. This nail design is simple, fast, and absolutely adorable.

To learn how to do this design click [here]. I am an absolute fan of cutepolish's nail designs. 

I do not have a top coat on my fingers in the picture. I added a top coat after I snapped the picture.

I used

Nailtek Foundation Formula II as my base

OPI's Alpine Snow for the white

Wet n Wild's Black

and applied OPI's RapiDry for my top coat

Lady Sings the Blues

Hello all! I feel like I haven't blogged in the longest time!

This is going to be a pretty short post on another Deborah Lippmann glitter polish, Lady Sings the Blues. This polish has a navy blue jelly base and blue and silver glitters. I like this polish more than Across the Universe but less than Bad Romance. At first I wasn't liking the silver glitters very much but it grew on me over the past few days. It reminds me of outer space. Very beautiful! The polish took two coats to achieve opacity and two top coats to get a smooth finish.

Clinique 3-Step Acne Solutions Review Week 3

Okay, it has been three weeks since I started using Clinique's 3-Step Acne Solutions, not much of a difference from week 2. There is definitely less "dirt" on my face and not as much oil. I am starting to see my pores are being purged of oil too in which a little bit more pimples have formed but once they've gone away they're gone for good. Con: my neck, under my chin, and jaw line area have been extremely itchy and dry lately so I have to keep applying ointment afterwards.

If week 4 and 5 are pretty much the same.. I think I might just skip writing a review about them or an update and wait until week 6. I'm also thinking of doing an "About Myself Blog Post" if anyone is interested in reading that. If you are interested in a post like that leave me comments about what you want to know about me and I'll answer the questions that I think are interesting or relevant to my blog. I won't answer private questions about myself such as where I live or where I go to school because thats too private.

Raving about Bad Romance

Ra Ra Ra Ah Ah Roma Roma Ma Ga Ga Ooh La La

Hey Everyone! The color currently on my nails is Bad Romance from Deborah Lippmann's line of nail polish. Its a jelly purple-y gray color with purple/violet glitters in it, BEAUTIFUL! I think this is my favorite nail polish. I am very shocked that I would like it this much; I thought for sure I would like Across the Universe better, but I actually like Bad Romance more! It definitely has a GaGa feel to it. Only two coats were needed for good opacity, three makes it more vibrant though. It took between 2-3 top coats (depending on how much glitter and how big the glitters were on your nail) for a smooth surface. Originally, I was going to take off this nail polish after one day to apply "Lady Sings the Blues" from Lippmann's "All that Jazz" Collection, but I'm loving the color wayyy to much to take it off haha! I love how layering on the nail polish makes it look almost black with glitter in it. The contrast in color is great, it adds depth to the nail polish. I love how this polish looks great alone, adding stamping designs or floral designs to it would take away from its beauty. However, I do think it would go wonderful with IHaveACupcake's graduation nail design (without needing to layer on a separate glitter polish). Don't know what nail design I'm talking about? Click [here] I also think this color is perfect for prom (well any school dance for that matter) and clubbing, etc. Its definitely adds some pizazz to your outfits and it matches completely casual outfits too. The versatility with this nail polish is endless. Pictures of the polish are below. Again, I don't think they captured the nail polish's true beauty. I wish I had an actual camera rather to use rather than my cell phone camera. I've been looking into buying a digital camera and I have one in mind but I'd like to think it over some more. If you have any suggestions for what is a good point and shoot camera or have any questions about this polish please leave me a comment below :)
