Skin Food Omija Whitening Spot Cream Review

Skin Food Omija Whitening Spot Cream 5

I recently used up my Skin Food Omija Whitening Spot Cream, actually, I used up almost all of my Skin Food Omija Skincare so I thought it would be a good time to start reviewing it.

Skin Food Omija Whitening Skincare contains a patent-awarded oriental herbal complex with Omija and skin-lightening ingredients.

Omija is a special Korean herbal tea made from Schisandra chinensi. The entire line was supposedly created to include Omija as it has brightening skin benefits.

Here are my thoughts on the Skin Food Omija Whitening Spot Cream.

New in Beauty: Nip + Fab Viper Venom Wrinkle Fix

Nip + Fab Viper Venom Wrinkle Fix

Nip + Fab has a new CC Cream that launched recently along with other goodies such as their Viper Venom Wrinkle Fix!

Oooo viper, venom, makes me thing of Dominic Monaghan making all kinds of fool out of himself in his new show Wild Things. Can I tell you he has a death wish? Sincerely. Boy, JUMPS at venomous snakes and insects without a worry in the world. Swinging them around by their tails. I dunno his experience with these things but I get SO nervous for him I nearly wee through the hour long show. Someone hold me, I just know Dom’s end is near.

Anyway, ’bout that Nip + Fab Viper Venom Wrinkle Fix…

NYX Dewy Finish Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

Looks like my run in with NYX’s Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray was a fluke! NYX Dewy Finish Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray ended up working out a whole lot better for me considering I had a few hiccups with the spritzer on the bottle of Matte Finish I recently reviewed.

NYX Makeup Setting Sprays are lightweight mists that where recently introduced and come in a matte or dewy finish that prolong your makeup wear.

Masque Bar by Look Beauty Brightening Sheet Mask Review

Masque Bar by Look Beauty Brightening Sheet Mask

Target has a new Masque Bar by Look Beauty in stores this Spring that are sure to please sheet mask lovers. I tried out the Look Beauty Brightening Sheet Mask recently.

If you’re used to hauling 10 or more sheet masks in a box for around $8-$12 from Asia, Masque Bar might prove a tad expensive at a three set for $9.99 but they are far more easier to get your hands on. The budget world is sadly lacking in sheet masks here in the US. What’s common in the Asian market is sadly lacking in our own. I personally purchase sheet masks from a variety of sources but most of that shopping is done online with airmail fees involved.

It’s rather novel to be able to walk into my local Target and shop for a facial sheet mask. And most recently Walmart started selling My Beauty Diary online. I hope more beauty budget brands catch up.

So how are the Masque Bar by Look Beauty Sheet Masks?

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray Review

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray is one of two new setting sprays the brand introduced for Spring 2013. These are 2 oz bottles for $8 each.

I’m a little iffy on Setting Sprays as I’m always sorta wary of spritzing a just made up face with what is essentially water combined with some other ingredients. It’s kinda like, wait, hold on a second, I just did my makeup now you want me to mist myself madly with water? Ummm no…!

But actually some do have benefits. Particularly if you’re a mineral girl or you use powder to set. A small amount of setting mist actually will give your makeup a more refined finish and in some cases they really do prolong the wear of makeup.

Does NYX’s version work?

Thayers Witch Hazel Pads Review

Thayers Witch Hazel Pads

You might remember I recommended Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner a month or so ago. Thayers Witch Hazel Pads are another fav of mine that I’d love to introduce you too!

I wish Thayers would consider putting some of their other blends into pad form as they travel easily if you’re heading on an extended holiday or vacation plus I find the pads terribly convenient compared to the larger bottles.

Sadly, they do have one quirk!
