Product Review: L'Oréal Perfect Clean

I recently ran out of face scrub. Horrified and worried that I wouldn't have one to use the night I ran out, I rushed to the store, and upon seeing the 'Perfect Clean' bottle (with the cute little CleanPod) I was intrigued, so I bought it.

Picture from www.lorealparis.com.au, as well as more information on the product.


The cute little brush it comes with is perfect for getting a deeper clean. I've been using it for a week, and I've noticed that my skin is less oily feeling, and the blackheads smaller. It's you-beaut because you can use it either in the shower, or just as a morning pick-me-up at your sink.

The hole in the bottle makes for easy storage, so you're not forever misplacing the CleanPod brush. It comes in 3 different variations of the product, with "Detoxifying" (the blue one, the one I use) "Exfoliating" (orange) and "Cleans and softens" (pink.)

Sorry for not blogging for a while, the hype of starting university has gotten to me, and I've blacked out of my internet life :) Hope you found this review helpful, and find the products as good as I did!

Stay beautiful, Kitty.

OPI Nail Strengthener Excitement

Hey girls!

I'm so excited to share this with you all.

So I have been a nail biter my whole life. I'd do it because I was bored, because I was nervous, there was no particular reason for it and it took years to train myself to stop it. I eventually got it to the point of only when I was nervous or worried.

 My nails have always made me self conscious. Even after I stopped biting them, I still couldn't get them to grow because they were so weak they'd snap or peal off. So regardless of whether I was biting them or not, they looked awful.

I was recently introduced to OPI nail polish. Here in Australia a coloured bottle will cost approximately $18 and a base, top, hardener, etc. polish can cost around $30. Now I'm not into paying that much for a nail polish that my 7 year old cousin is going to get into and spill all over the floor... BUT, I bought the mini version which was about $8 for 3.75mL.

The Nail Envy Range, found on www.OPI.com
The polish is called OPI Original Nail Envy Nail Strengthener and OH MY GOSH!!! I can see the whites of my nails! Honestly, I have never been able to get my nails this long so well. Normally one or two will snap off making the rest look stupid. And normally my nails will bend the second there's nothing behind it to support it. BUT,  my nails are stronger and more durable.
If any of you have issues with weak and frail nails, I seriously recommend trying out the OPI Nail Strengthener. It's amazing, I would actually be willing to go back and pay $30 for the bigger bottle if I needed to.

If anyone has any helpful hints on how to stop biting your nails or a cheaper alternative of a nail strengthener please leave a comment.


Stay Beautiful :)

4.Keep the two sections and twist hair around the band lightly and pin in place.

Red Lips

Hey guys sorry its been a while.

Have you ever wanted to where red lips but never had the guts to pull it off. I was like that but I bought a make up bag with a bunch of different kinds of make up in it and in it was a Rimmel red lip stick. I have worn it a couple of times and its great. It seems like a build able lipstick so the more  you put on the more red it will be. Its a great red lip stick for if your now sure about wearing it.

One of the bonuses with wearing red lipstick is that it makes your teeth look whiter and just adds so much to an outfit.

Here is me rocking the red lips.


Stay beautiful
Nikita
