Review on Watsons Cleansing Facial Wipes (Floral scented)

          
       I brought this product because I needed facial wipes pronto and this was cheap so I wanted to try it. The packaging is alright. The scent is a bit strong for me and  I guess it works fine.
Pros:
*Very cheap
*Works alright
*Does not occupy too much space

Cons:
*The scent for me is overpowering
*The size of the wipes are too small
     

Review on Etude House BB Cream (Bright Fit)

       I bought my Bright Fit BB Cream in shade no. 2 nine months ago for play use. In our school we have our annual plays so it is required for all actors and actresses to wear make-up. While looking for the perfect foundation I found this and I loved it. It's lighter than foundation and it easily blends with my skin. It has four shades all in all and a tube of the product can last you a very long time.

                              

         

Pros:
*Lasts you for a very long time
*Has SPF 30 PA++
*Has whitening and anti-wrinkle properties
*Does not have a very strong smell
*Great coverage
*Has a hygienic pump

Cons:
*If you apply too much it turns a bit cakey
*Might seem a bit sticky for some people

Review on Etude House Apricot Stick



         I bought the darkest shade of Etude House's Apricot Stick in sour cherry. The lipstick was affordable and you can pat it on for a lighter shade or apply it a lot of times to have cherry colored lips. They have assorted colors where you can choose from and all of them have different flavors. What I love about this line is that each lipstick has a different smell so you won't get bored with it. The pics below will show you what I mean... 


      





Pros:
*The lipstick has a rich color
*The smell of the lipstick is very pleasant
*The color of the lipstick is vivid
*The packaging is very cute (look like crayola twists)
*Very cheap

Cons:
*Does not stay on for a long time (max is 3 hours)
*No SPF
*Is not moisturizing (you need to put on lip balm before using this)
*The twist easily damages

Review on Etude House CC Cream (Silky)

             The CC Cream that I tried came from Etude house (bought it with my money). Their CC Cream stands for Correct and Care. The saleslady said that it is more of a skin care item than a make-up item because of its benefits. It comes in two types: Silky (has a matte finish and suitable for people with oily skin) and Glow (suitable for individuals with dry skin because of its dewy finish). When you pump the solution, what comes out is a white formula but don't worry because the CC Cream can adapt to most skin colors. It has special beads in it that pops once you put it on your skin so that the formula can easily adapt to the color of your skin.

Pros:
*After I used this product my face seemed smoother
*It didn't cause any breakouts on my face
*The scent is mild 
*My skin looked matte (I used the Silky one)
*It is gentle on my skin
*The container has a hygienic pump so that the germs won't go in the formula
*Has SPF 30 PA++

Cons:
*Whenever I apply too much the formula does not blend with my skin so there are times that my skin looks white
*Their CC Cream contains only 35g of formula
*Some people may have breakouts with this product

Off Topic Assignment: Journalism

Review on the Movie The Gods Must Be Crazy

             The move contains a lot of stories. The ones that I remember was about the Bushmen who found a bottle of coke that cam from and airplane which they thought cam from the gods. Another story was about the romance of Steyn and Thompson that was very awkward. The last story was the guerrillas who failed to kill the president of "Barani" and massacre his whole cabinet.

               The first story revolves around the Bushmen of the Kalahari who were innocent to the fact of hatred, envy, jealousy, etc. They never had a system of ownership because they shared everything. When the bottle fell from the airplane they found a lot of uses for it so they all wanted. That was the time where they discovered hate, envy and all negative traits that they never knew before. Xi, one of the males in the tribe decided to throw the bottle the end of the world.

               The second story was about a shy scientist who fell in love with a teacher/reporter. Steyn, who was very awkward when he was with a woman fell in love with Thompson. They tried to hide the feeling that they felt for each other but their love blossomed. The last story was about the guerrillas who were against their country's politicians. They tried to wreak havoc everywhere to make life for everyone miserable.

              The whole movie is very entertaining but there are parts of the movie where the stories didn't seem to connect so it was a bit hard to understand but i had a lot of fun watching the movie. The movie has a lot of hidden meanings to it so when you watch this movie you need to analyze the scenes that are happening and the things that are happening to the characters.

Review on Purederm Age Defying Cleansing Tissues

                  
Picture from ph.makeupandbeauty.com
            I use this product only for removing my make-up every time we have plays at school (my school holds annual plays so make-up is a must if you're acting on stage). The first time I used this product it removed most of my make-up so i knew that it worked well (I use waterproof make-up when I perform so these wipes are a must). I use other make-up removal wiped but this is one of my most loved make-up removal wipes.

Pros:
*Didn't cause any breakouts for me
*Has natural ingredients in it
*Has age defying properties
*It gives you a soft and clean feel after you use it
*Removes make-up very well

Cons:
*Not suitable for very young users like 13 and below
*Some people might allergic reactions because of the natural ingredients that are used
*Some people might have breakouts after using it



Review on Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

         I have been a fan of Cetaphil since Grade 6. I have been using it for four years now and it has its pros and cons. It has a watery texture and it has no odor.  It's suitable for all skin types.

Pros:
*No odor (sucks for those who love to use scented cleansers
*Suitable for all skin types
*Great for first timers especially for preteens
*Cleans and moisturizes your face so it doesn't feel dry after using
*Great for everyday use
Cons:
*It does not really have a significant improvement to your face(e.g. reducing pore size, drying up pimples, etc.)
*Does not foam or lather easily
*You won't get that really clean feel after washing
*It's not made from natural ingredients

       But even though Cetaphil is a bit on the gentler side so it won't give you a super clean feeling it is good for on the go use because they have travel size containers.
