Garnier Clean Sensitive gentle cleansing milk review


    Ok so as far as I can tell, this product isn’t for sale anymore, however I think the new Garnier cleansing milks have a similar formula, and this could serve as a rough guide to whether you’ll like cleansing milks overall (that’s what I did anyway). I really should have dumped this bottle like 2 years ago but since I barely used it in the beginning, I had an almost full bottle and I just couldn’t dump it. (hello, it says hoarder in the blog title).


    First off, my understanding of the cleansing milk concept is that they’re sorta like a pre-mixed dual-layer makeup remover, containing both watery and oily ingredients emulsified together. You apply it to your face or a cotton pad and wipe the makeup off, no need to rinse after. This cleansing milk isn’t the consistency of milk but more like a cream moisturiser. It’s not runny and I feel the need to rub it into my face when I’m using it, to help break down the makeup. The bottle is sturdy but squeezeable, and the lid is great for keeping the product air-tight and making sure thers minimal mess. The only annoying thing is that since the lid is curved, I can’t stand the bottle upside down to get at the product at the bottom.

Revlon quick dry top coat review


(I know it's nearly christmas but I have no christmas ideas whatsoever so maybe next year I'll be able to do something fun, but this christmas you'll just get reviews :I )


    I've never tried using quick drops so I can't compare this topcoat to those mythical magical liquids but compared to other topcoats I’ve used, this dries pretty fast. I haven't timed it so I can’t say exactly how long it takes but it takes less time than the average Revlon nail polish. Another good thing is it doesn't have that problem, where it looks and feels dry but as soon as you touch fabric or something, bam the textures transferred. When it feels dry, then it is dry, and hard.

Ulta3 nailpolish in orchid and waterlily review ( . . . and a little bit on the brand overall)



I own two ulta3 nail polishes and the only reason I don't own more is because I’m picky when it comes to nail polish colours. (Read: I have a duochrome addiction.)

 . . . Also because the bottles are often damaged. What can I say, it’s cheap and people seem to think that means they can do whatever the hell they like.
