Heel Genius

Amazing Foot Cream!!!

The description on the website is below of what this foot cream claims to do 

Better than a pedicure? Our HEEL GENIUS™ Amazing Foot Cream renovates rough feet in a single overnight session and will give even the roughest of cuticles a run for its money. Featuring allantoin, glycerin, macadamia oil, menthol, bilberry, orange and lemon fruit acid smoothers.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Massage a generous layer onto clean feet every night (or at least as often as you remember). Slip cotton socks overtop and let it soak in while you sleep.

This is hands-down the best foot cream out there. It's super moisturizing, and when you wake up in the morning you have baby feet!! Literally...

I bought this product in hope of fixing my dry, chapped heel. I wear heels to work and I noticed them becoming really bad. I got this, went home used it like the instructions and woke up the next morning shocked by the results. using the socks is a must!! 

And the price is extremely reasonable too! 

SKINFOOD Good Afternoon Honey Black Tea BB Cream

The description on the samples is in Korean, unfortunately, but you can read all the descriptions for the Good Afternoon BB creams on Skinfood’s official web page.

The description from this BB cream says:

[Honey Black Tea BB - Moisturizing & Glowing]
A moisturizing and illuminating BB cream with sweet honey and flavorful red tea that keeps skin soft and supple. 

[Good Afternoon BB Cream Story]
Try our Good Afternoon BB Cream Line. Infused with skin-revitalizing afternoon teas, it helps you keep a bright, vibrant skin tone all day!

To Use 
Apply an even layer to skin in gentle patting motions.

 I love this BB Cream more than any of the ones I tried. It is very lightweight, it does have a scent of honey but it goes away after you apply it on, it covers lightly but I love using this when I don't feel like putting on foundation, and it doesn't give as much of a glow as I hoped but its also not bad! for $8 this was worth it. It is not long wear though, I think you can wear it for 3 to 5 hours until you get that tired look.

LEADERS Insolution Mask: Skin Renewal Mask

Good Morning Everyone

Skin Clinic Masks are for those who are looking for strong and intensive skincare that focuses on Whitening, Wrinkles, Skin Trouble & Hydration.

About Leaders Clinic:
If you haven’t heard, Leaders Clinic has been established in South Korea since 2001 by a group of dermatologists who developed a professional skincare line based on treatments used in their clinic for skin troubles most common to women. In fact, these masks are loved by many Korean celebrities (they have such beautiful skin, it’s not even funny) and have won 5 patents, and a national innovation and scientific honor by South Korea. 500,000 of these masks sell monthly in Korea and now Cossy is the sole distributor of the Insolution line in Singapore! Sweet!

Mela-Tox Skin Clinic Mask:

This mask help with improving the complexion of your skin making it more radiant, fairer and youthful. It brightens dull complexions, which would help me the most during stressful weeks and does this by suppressing melanin production which helps with pigmentation problems. It’s also moisturizing and helps eradicate facial blemishes. I personally love this one out of all the ones I have tried before.

Howto use? 

1. Wash face with warm water 

2. Cleanse and make sure no makeup residue is left behind 

3. If you still see some residue use a tonner to get ride of whats left 

4. apply the mask on your face 

5. Leave it on for 15 -20 minutes 

Mask on (Yikes)

It’s also suggested that you use it for a month, 2 or 3 times a week! I have used this mask only once. I love the results because its the only korean mask I use with results lol. Let me know what you think of this awesome mask? 

PHYSICIANS FORMULA - Glow Pearls

PHYSICIANS FORMULA

Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls

I picked this up at shoppers, I needed something that gives out a glow for my checks and I thought of trying this. It was a little expensive for a drugstore product but I felt like it would be worth it. 

At first, it was way too glittery for me, I was so disappointed because I wanted a shimmer. I kept using it just to make sure that its not just sparkles on my cheeks and I noticed that the glitter was only on the very top layer of the product. So, I just wiped away the very thin top layer with a makeup brush and the product below was Awesome! It gives me the right amount of glow. I do wish it lasted a little longer though. I like the Packaging a lot, specially the pearl on the top lol its so cute! && I'm So glad it's cruelty and paraben free!!!

I used a little amount here 

I swiped my finger 3 times to get this color

Verdict: I love the product after few tries, but not worth the price. I wish it did what I was hoping for but I can say that its great for a little glow on the cheeks also I go over on my nose to have highlight and its not bad. I believe it was $18.99 CAD + tax 

What do you think? would you give this product a chance? 

Let me know in the comments below 

Revlon - PhotoReady Concealer

Well today I will review the Revlon Concealer, I took a while to review this because I didn't like it at first and thought of trying it out a bit more to make an official review. 

When I first used this I was trying to hide my blemishes, I didn't like the consistence of it. I thought it was too buttery or creamy like, which was really horrible on my forehead. 

It does leave a cakey look but you have to be smart about the blending of it for it to look natural. 

"It won't blow your mind away but if you need to cover blemishes and spots and can't afford a trip to Sephora this is a decent compromise between quality and price." amiablealligator

On the other hand, I tried this as a contour highlight under my eyes and forehead and I like it. So then I used it on my mom and I found that it doesnt fill in the lines as much as I hoped. it does make it obvious that I applied concealer on. 

My thought on this, hm... it is really hard to say because I like it and I hate it at times, I'm going to rate it as a 7 out of 10 (10 means the best) I feel like rating might be easier for someone to understand.

Revlon - PhotoReady Concealer SPF 20

Smile Foot Mask

I've always been a fan of cute packaging, especially in cosmetics. My favourite brand right now is the The Face Shop skin care products and Cosmetics, with their insanely cute designs, & decent quality products. Anyway, I picked up this foot mask which I found so interesting, & thought I'd share them with you all!

This was the first product I actually picked up from the face shop since it opened recently in the mall. I seriously got so excited and just picked everything hahaha not really. So, the packaging was all in korean and since I dont read korean I just went with my guess. 

I have dry feet sinc eI wear heels to work and thought this would make my feet soft and relaxed so I got it. 

So when you open the package you find these korean socks (they wear them in historical korean dramas lol) and you wear them. I left mine on for about an hour. 

When I took them off my feet were all wrinkle like I've been swimming for hours. I got a little scared, but I didn't notice them being soft. I slept after I took them off. The next morning my feet were softer then a baby's feet!!! I loved them so much... They were actually so soft that I refused to wear heels thats day because I didn't want the feeling to stop of having soft feet lol 

Verdict: I will always buy these to have a relaxed and soft feet!! If you are looking for that then definitely try it out. I bought them for $4 I believe and they were so worth it. I think I will do this once a week. Every feet deserve a relaxed treatment since we torture them during out days. 

My Topbox (August)

Hello all, so I signed up for Topbox. and I wasn't disappointed. This is the August package I got this for $12. I signed up here http://topbox.ca/
I like how this works, but I wish I could receive them in the beginning of the month instead of the 15th day. But overall this was very interesting and I liked all the products I received. I will list the products below...

SEXY Lashes (3D Fiber Lashes)

Ever wanted to have amazing lashes without having them falling off?
Well girls/guys I have awesome news, I recently got to know this product by Younique and I eventually bought it ($35 CAD). Holy my lashes never looked as amazing as this mascara makes them look. What makes me more excited to tell you is the fact that its all NATURAL!!! and is animal testing free!!!
If you guys remember my post about the Lo'real voluminous mascara, I said I will use this until I find an amazing mascara that does the same work or better and is animal cruelty free. Well I finally found it, it might be a little more expensive then the Lo'real but I am a sucker for anything natural.
The best part is the fact that when I do bridal makeup I don't require the need for the falsies because this one is ten times better and easier to apply. 
Yes I signed up to sell these lovely products because I believe in natural beauty and in free animal cruelty products, if you guys are interested and Love my results Click the Link to order yours, https://www.youniqueproducts.com/sallystatic/party/420239/view 

I'll explain to you girls/guys the ingredient that is in the mascara and the Fibers for you to understand it better, and also I will post pictures of my results when using it.

That's what's in the Gel and the Fibers 

Transplanting Gel Ingredients: Water, Beeswax (Natural Propolis), Carnauba (Brazilian palm glue), Iron Oxide Cl 77499 (Black), Collagen, Acrylates Copolymer, Nylon, Stearic Acid, Propylene Glycol. .23 FL OZ / 7 ml

Natural Fibers Ingredients: 100% Natural Fibers taken from Green Tea. Net WT .02 OZ/ .5g.

What do they do?

Collagen is a type of protein that works with elastin to give skin its texture, structure, and appearance. It contains antioxidants, and may help add volume and shine to the appearance of eyelashes.

Water (Aqua) is the liquid of life! Hydrates and cleanses the skin, and works as a natural spreading component, helping to distribute other ingredients evenly over the skin.

Beeswax (Natural Propolis) is a brownish, resinous material collected by bees and believed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Carnauba (Brazilian Palm Glue) is extracted and refined through a pressing and crushing process that turns the palm glue into an oil, creating the sticky nature of the transplanting gel. It is also believed to act as a natural preservative.

Iron Oxide Cl 77499 (Black) is a technical name for Black Iron Oxide. This naturally-occurring mineral acts a colorant, giving the gel its striking black color.

Acrylates Copolymer is an adhesive and binder, as well as a suspending agent.

Nylon is a powder substance that is used as an absorbent and thickening agent.

Stearic Acid (also known as Palmitic Acid) is an organic nutrient derived from palm trees that is often used to soothe and soften the skin.

Propylene Glycol is a humidifying and delivery ingredient.
