Review: Philosophy The Supernatural Lit From Within Cream Blush

Hi Guys,

Let me start off by saying: I adorrrrrre this blush. Oh my goodness. It was given to me as a gift by a family friend, and when I first saw it I honestly thought it was going to make me look like a clown. The shade is "look on the bright side", a bubblegum pink. When applied, however, it comes out sheer and natural.





soo sheer and pretty - just enough color in my opinion : )
The packaging is deceiving: you really do get a lot of product in here, as well as a pretty big mirror for on-the-go touch ups, which is always nice! It's creamy without being gooey or oily. It gives me just enough of a "pinched-cheeks" flush to look natural but not in a  "I-just-ran-five-miles" like I've found with other very pigmented cream blushes. It's gorgeous and natural, and blends well both with foundation or just bare skin, with a little face primer on there. I find it lasts a few hours, probably around four, before I start thinking about a little touch up. However, when I apply a pink powder blush on top, it lasts even longer than that, which is more than enough for my needs: being a student, I can reapply between classes and such.

Review: Pantene Restore Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm

Hi Guys,

I've been using this smoothing balm for about two months now. I've been growing my hair out for the past year and a half, which is new for me, and I'm desperate to fix the mess I've made of my hair with my obsession with heat styling.

The smell is fantastic. To me, it smells clean, fresh, and shampoo-y in a not-overly-shampoo-y kind of way, if that makes any sense. The company claims it helps prevent breakage so that hair can grow longer. To this, all I can say is, ehh. My hair definitely feels smoother on days that I put it in, but all in all, it hasn't really repaired any of the damage done. Considering it has the word 'restore' in the title, I was hoping for a little bit more.



What do you think? Has anyone out there tried this and loved it or absolutely hated it? Let me know :)
