The Best Firming Cream: Nivea Firming Body Milk

I know its quite a statement to make, but I have been using this cream since I discovered it a year ago and do not plan on stopping any time soon. The Nivea firming body milk has no scent (in my opinion) which some people like, some don't, however it completely transforms dry and sagging skin.

When I'm in Canada my skin has a tendency to become very dry and lizard like, which is not the most attractive, but it also has a tendency to 'sag'. Granted I am 19, so when I say sag, what I really mean is my skin around my thighs and bum can become slightly flabby.

Within a month of massaging this cream into my targeted areas every other day, I noticed a HUGE improvement. My skin was much more hydrated, my dry patches were gone, but to my surprise my skin was SO firm. My thighs and bum appeared to be much tighter and I noticed a huge decrease in cellulite.

I think it's an amazing price, especially for the amount you receive and the results you see.

Review on Clinique Cleansing Balm

At first I was hesitant to try a 'cleansing balm', I was skeptical that it would leave my skin with a greasy or oily residue but I was pleasantly surprised.

Living in Canada the wind chill takes a serious toll on my skin, I was experiencing extreme dry skin and needed a cleanser that would offer more protection.

The balm  removes all of my makeup. Its so easy to use. Before my shower I use a very small amount and rub it gently all over my face, including my eye area, and then in the shower I gently rinse it off and when I get out my face is completely clear. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and fresh.

I definitely recommend this product!

Review On MAC Mineralize

Let me start off by saying, it is impossible to find the right shade for my skin tone. I have a very olive complexion and live in the Caribbean for half of the year, and the other half of the year I live in the very cold, but lovely Canada. Recently, I have gotten a lot paler and was in the need for a new foundation. I had heard some lovely things about the Dior Nude and the Chanel Vitalumiere.

Firstly, the Dior Nude gave a good bit of coverage and was very matte, however I thought it was a little on the yellow side for me.
The Chanel Vitalumiere had a lovely dewy finish, but again the shade was a little too yellow.

Feeling a bit defeated I wandered into MAC, and I am very happy I did. I was persuaded to try on the MAC mineralize foundation (shade NC20). As soon as I looked in the mirror I knew it was the right one. It gives a generous amount of coverage, but what I especially love is the glow it gives off. It really is like a 'J-LO' glow...and who wouldn't want to look like her? The girl helping me added a small amount of bronzer to the top of my cheeks and it really helped to warm my skin.

When I went home I used my Rimmel Stay Matte powder (shade 004 Sandstorm) and it still looked really beautiful with a matte finish. What really did it for me was when my boyfriend said "Your skin looks perfect" - and trust me, for him to notice, it must be really amazing.

I really recommend this foundation, especially for anyone with normal/dry skin.
