Boots Expect Sensitive Hydrating Moisturiser

My first impression: Uh, they spelled "moisturizer" wrong....
Anyway, review for Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Moisturiser! It is a moisturizer put out by the company Boots in the Expert line (another line is the No. 7).

 

Boots is one of those lesser known drugstore brands. Its sold mainly at Target and...Rite Aid? The lines are all pretty much standard drugstore prices- this product retails at about $5, so it isnt too much of a splurge or anything. Here we go!

Pros:

• It Works: As far as hydration goes, it does it pretty well, in a short amount of time (one night). It moisturizes deep and it good for those little flaky spots.
• Not Greasy: A lot of lotions have thay greasy feeling that's left behind on your skin- this one doesn't have it at all.
• Thick: I don't know why that's a pro, but it strikes me as something good :)
• Cheap. 

Cons:

• Smells: Like glue.
• Feels: Like glue. Despite the previous pros, this lotion just has such a strong glue feeling to it. It is literally like rubbing Elmer's Glue on your face except without the stick and the strings. I also doesn't form a fun little mask you can pull off later :(

Overall:
Don't go for it. Despite the pros outweighing the cons. The whole "glue" thing is so prominent that it's a complete deal breaker, which is sad because it actually works well. But fear not! I will be reviewing another moisturizer of theirs from a different line. Until then!

LASplash Primer/Base/Sealer Review

My first product review!









This is a review of a "drug store" product! LASplash "Eyeshadow Sealer/Base", a.k.a. a primer. I was first attracted to this because I've been looking for a primer, smashbox in particular, but wasn't keen on the price. This product, if I'm correct (bought it a could weeks ago and don't remember, sorry ><) is between 5 to 10 dollars, more towards ten. The stand was pretty and I thought, why not? I got this particular one in ULTA, but they also apparently it's also carried at Target. So lets get down to business:

Pros:

• Goes on clear: it comes in a variety of cream/white colors, but it generally goes on colorless.
• Holds well: I've layered different kinds of shadow and it works with pretty much all of them.
• Blends well
• Doesn't settle: You don't get any wrinkle lines.
• Sensitive: I have ridiculously bizarre skin that gets weird and red when it feels like it, and is generally sensitive, especially my eyelids. This hasn't aggravated my skin at all.
• Cheap
  

Cons:

• Sticky: It's actually quite annoying when you're putting it on, but it goes away quickly and doesn't cause any problems with eyeshadow.
  
• Applicator: It's one of those brush sponge things that you get in lip-glosses, and it's a little annoying to use, I'd much rather it be a pump.
• Cheap/Unknown: There's always the con of it being a lesser known product, and possibly less reliable, but I haven't had any problems with it.

Overall: I say go for it. It's a cheap and useful product that gets the job done with only slight cons. :)

Begin the Blog!

I really don't know why this is here, but I've felt like putting my thoughts down-
more specifically, reviews.
Like every other girl out there, I'm going to start reviewing things. But not just makeup and the norm, pretty much everything and anything I buy, read, or try. Which means good stories on the internet that I hope I can turn people onto! (I'm not going to trace everything I've read, but check the favorites list on My Fictionpress Page or This C2 (awesome and active) for some good stories).
Anyway- the point of this blog is reviewing things that really anyone might be interested in- a good mix of things that any girl would be interested in!
Happy Hunting! (me, considering I'm the only one reading this :)
