Pretty Addictions Review and Swatches!
Tuesday, February 14, 2012I had the opportunity to get the Reviewer pack from Pretty Addictions and was very impressed with the brand. This is another independent bra...

- Blends well and goes on smoothly!
- Also no shifter.
- Price: $1.25-$3.75

Yes to....!
Sunday, February 12, 2012I have used Yes to' facial towelettes since last year, the beginning of fall. I highly recommend them and have purchased them multiple t...
- It smells great!
- It feels nice on my skin.
- Cleans off my makeup really nicely.
- The pack lasts for over a month, which I feel is a decent amount of time.
- Packaging is super great and easy to use!
- Has great ingredients!
- Leaves my skin soft.
- Great smell; smells like sweet blueberries and some other scent.
- They feel so silky on my skin.
- Takes off my makeup easily.
- Like the description, I really feel after many uses it does give my skin a great glow. Even the first use you can see a difference.
- Lasts over a month!
- It has great ingredients in it!
- Packaging is the same as the cucumber one, easy to use!
- Leaves my skin very soft!
- The Yes to Blueberry is much gentler on my skin, which is odd because the cucumber one is suppose to be for sensitive skin. I find that after using more than one Cucumber towelettes at a time, my skin has a slight burning feeling. It does go away, but it was uncomfortable.
- The blueberry one is soothing and no matter how many I use, my skins feels great.
- The Blueberry towelettes themselves feel softer than the cucumber ones.
- Plus, Yes to Blueberries smells nicer. :)
Crushed Botanicals Skincare Review + Foundation
Sunday, February 12, 2012A month ago or so I ordered from Crushed Botanicals because they were having an awesome sale! I am always interested in independent brands....
- It smells nice; a clean smell.
- It feels soft and smooth when applying it on your face.
- It makes your skin very soft and clean afterwards. I use it to take off makeup.
- It has many great things in it that helps improve your skin!
- It has cleared up my acne quite a bit and I have a hard time finding good products for my oily acne prone skin!
- I am going to either buy this particular product again, or something similar because I really feel that what is in this really cleared my skin!
- It has lasted a long while so far and it doesn't even look luke I used much.(I have had this for over a month!)
- It is in a sturdy plastic bottle with a click top which is easy to use and not waste product.
- Has the ingredients on the back so you can know what is in it.
- A little pricy being $20 for 4 oz. But that is the price you pay for natural, non toxic products. :)
Crushed Botanicals Aromatherapy Jojoba Moisturizer "Fresh Start":
- It feels silky on the skin.
- You only need a little to go a long way so it lasts a long time!
- It smells like lemon and sweet at the same time.
- The pump is great so you do not over use.
- It is in a glass bottle which is great to keep out toxins!
- It lasts a while!
- It feels a little oily at first, but soaks into the skin quite nicely and does not feel oily after.
- Like I mentioned, it is in a glass bottle which is great!
- It has a easy to use pump that does not give you too much product.
- The information in the front is easy to read and very cute design.
- The information on the back tells you what is in it, which is very helpful.
- I honestly do not know because I cannot find it on the site. I paid about half on a sale, and I do not remember what I paid. I know it is pricier.
- It is natural and has many great ingredients that benefit your skin!
- It even up my skin tone, covering some redness!
- I have not broke out with this foundation. I have acne prone skin.
- This particular one has a pump, which I like, but is not glass like the website.
- She informed me she was ordering more glass bottles with the screw top. I honestly wish it was glass with a pump. :)
- It feels silky on the skin.
- It gives you a very nice natural glow! Not too noticeable, but just enough.
- It is easy to blend and soaks into the skin nicely.
- It is quite watery, so sometimes when I use it, I splash it on my jeans(I sit at a desk when doing my makeup, pumping it on the back of my hand). I can prevent it sometimes, but when in a hurry I forget!
- But it does not stain.
- Because it is watery, it is messy. As you see above, the cap is all messy. I could clean I suppose!
- It is a bit sheer for my taste, because I want to cover up acne scarring.
- Lastly, it does not last that long. I am a little more than half done and I've had it for almost two months.
- This particular batch is in a plastic bottle like I mentioned, and it does not have a logo or ingredients on the back, which bummed me out.
- I cannot really review the packaging because it isn't the original packaging.
- $15
- It think this is a decent price, but with how long it lasts, I am not too sure if I will repurchase. I want to try other brands to so it depends. :)
- Would I repurchase the skincare? YES!
- Would I repurchase the foundation? Probably not, just because I need a better coverage foundation and lasts a bit longer.
