Product Review: Thymes Red Cherie Cologne
2008-03-07 13:42:00
Reviewer: Cinnamon KittenBrand: ThymesName: Red Cherie Cologne Size: $1.75 fl. oz. / 50 mlApprox. Price: $28 USDI'm anticipating Spring. I've just HAD it with winter this year and can't wait to shed my big, heavy winter clothes for everything light and airy. So it was great to try a sample of this new perfume by Thymes. The packaging had me thinking Spring right away.Red Cherie combines pomengranate (so hot these days), with the scent of ripe red cherries, passion flower and jasmine and subtle hints of Asian lychee and fruity musk.To Purr About:- light, fruity scent that isn't overpowering- the scent is really pretty and feminine, without being too cloying and sweetClaws Out:- this is a scent that only works in the spring and summer, so I'm disappointed I can't wear it right now and will have to wait a couple of months to pull it outFinal Comments:I'm very happy with this scent and am definitely going to be wearing this all through the spring and summer. It's light, fruity an...

Product Review: St. Ives Firming Masque
2008-03-06 18:03:00
Reviewer: S.K.Y.Brand: St. IvesName: Mineral Clay Firming Masque Size: 170 mlApprox. Price: $6.49I used to use this product when I was a lot younger and thought I?d re-visit it to see how my skin reacts to it now.St. Ives says their product "contains a firming clay that lifts away dead skin cells leaving skin feeling firm without drying. Herbal extracts deep clean while stimulating collagen production so skin looks replenished and younger, not dry and dull".To Purr About:- leaves my skin feeling refreshed- leaves my skin feeling super tightClaws Out:- feels like it?s drying out my skin- it is very irritating on dry cracked skinFinal Comments:I used this mask daily for a couple of months and then scaled it back to once a week when my skin started becoming more and more dried out from the harsh winter weather. With my skin becoming more and more dry, I think I?ll stop usage of this product completely. It might be good for people with normal to oily skin, but I find it very abrasive on ...

Reviewer: Cinnamon KittenBrand: Head & Shoulders Name: Shampoo - Smooth and SilkyName: Conditioner - Smooth and SilkySize: 14.2 ozApprox. Price: $7 CADHead & Shoulders has been, for years, the shampoo of people reach for when they start to see dandruff in their hair. But it's not really the shampoo you reach for when you want gorgeous hair. With a new ad campaign (did you try the "Mystery Shampoo"?) Head & Shoulders makes an attempt to change its image.In the wintertime, I do notice a few flakes of dandruff because of the dry conditions so it was perfect timing for me to give this new shampoo and conditioner set a try.To Purr About:- nice, light floral scent- hair came out soft and silky- dandruff flakes were noticeably diminished after a week of useClaws Out:- I admit it, I'm lazy - I prefer my shampoo and conditioner in one bottle as opposed to having to shampoo, rinse, shampoo, rinse, condition and rinse.- after a month, my hair started to get a little dull from the ...

The colours looked really nice and were similar to the shades I was already wearing, so I figured that it couldn't be that bad.The packaging promises:- light reflecting shades- crease-resistant and long-wearing- easy blending colour- hypo-allergenicTo Purr About:- the colours really compliment each other and I could use very little for a daytime look, but easily blend the darker shades for a nightime look- long-lasting and crease-resistant- great colour combo - I use all 4 shades in this palette- easy double-ended applicator is very convenient- tiny mirror (under appplicator) is good for emergency touch-ups- as with most E.L.F. products - you can't beat the price!Claws Out:- the product turns to loose powder really easily and I find that they powders mixes in with all the other shades- so...

Product Review: Benefit Dandelion

Reviewer: Cinnamon KittenBrand: Benefit Name: DandelionSize: 0.35 ozApprox. Price: $35 USDA soft pink, "perk-me-up" powder for instant radiance and a youthful appearance."It's the perfect shade of pink that brightens everyone's complexion without looking powdery or chalky." (from the Benefit web site)When my MAC blush (Blushbaby) finished, I was going to go to MAC to pick up a replacement, but I had received some Sephora Gift Cards for my birthday so I decided to try a new blush. I was deciding between Nars Orgasm and Benefit's Dandelion and the Sephora salesperson said that Dandelion would look better on my skin tone, so off I went!To Purr About:- pink powder is light and complimentary- the cute brush puts on the perfect amount of powder- I can use it a little heavier on my cheeks as blush and then a light dusting all over for a very nice "glow" on my faceClaws Out:- again, as with some other Benefit products I've tried, although the box packaging is really cute, it's very diff...

*sigh* Do I really need to respond to the NYT article?
2008-02-02 06:27:00
If you're a regular reader of beauty blogs, then you've probably already read about this. There's been some media coverage on beauty blogs in the last few days, especially thanks to an article in the New York Times.In a nutshell, the article says that beauty bloggers are freebie whores who "beg" for samples and get tons of free "swag".Ok, so my take on this - I hope that all my readers know how much I love beauty products and that I started this blog as a way to learn more about products and discover new things and share my thoughts about products that I've tried. Being new to the world of blogging, I never thought that I would ever become good enough at it to become noticed by beauty companies.But I do get contacted by PR companies once in a while and yes, I do receive free products and samples to review. Just so you know, these usually aren't huge bags filled with goodies, just a bottle of the latest product and press material. I try everything that I'm sent and I review eve...

Brand: TheraBreathName: French Kiss GumPrice: $9 USD for 3 packs of 12Ok, so gum isn't really a "beauty product", but I'm sure everyone can agree that fresh, clean breath is definitely something everyone wants.Just in time for Valentine's Day - check out French Kiss Gum created by Therabreath.French Kiss Gum contains the strong TheraBreath PLUS Formula that helps get rid of bad breath and lasts a long time.Product Notes:- gum doesn't contain aspartame or saccharin- breath-freshening power of gum lasts long after the taste runs out - this is because the taste is not what is responsible for the breath control- ideal for combating occasional or situational bad breathI gave the gum a try and it's actually really good. The flavour lasts longer than many other "fresh breath" gum and my breath was fresher. The best part is that it doesn't have any aspartame and saccharin, which I try to avoid.The gum (and other breath-freshening aids) are available for purchase atwww.therabreath.com.

One of the products she suggested I use was Cetaphil. I?ve seen it at Shoppers Drug Mart many times, but decided to try it finally. I was pleased to learn that Cetaphil is made by a Canadian company.Their website (www.cetaphil.ca) claims that ?Cetaphil is a non-greasy formula that provides fast, long-lasting relief for dry, sensitive skin.?To Purr About:- definitely not greasy- scent-freeClaws Out:- a bit on the pricey side for body lotion- doesn't leave my skin feeling that moisturized- after a few months of use I was still battling itchy feeling skinFinal Comments:I wasn?t impressed with this body lotion.

Reviewer: Cinnamon KittenBrand: Aquafina Name: Hydrating Lip OilSize: 5 gApprox. Price: $1 CADI've been having a particularly harsh winter this year so have been on a tear trying out as many lip balms and skin creams I can get my hands on in an attempt to find the best product during these "wind-chill" times.I didn't have super high hopes on this product, but it was only $1, so I grabbed it anyway. On one hand, Aquafina does not make cosmetics, so how could they possibly make a great lip balm (or oil, as the case may be). On the other hand, they do make water, so I guess they do know something about hydration.The package states:- "Moisture replenishing system for maximum hydration and shine"- "Botanically enriched with jojoba oil, almond oil and vitamin E."To Purr About:- there was immediate hydration and moisture to my lips and they felt instant better- the oil leaves a very high-shine and slick look to the lipsClaws Out:- I personally didn't like the minty flavour (which wasn't...
