REVIEW // Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunblock Lotion

May 29, 2014

This facial sunblock has definitely been my go-to sunblock all year round! Ever since I started using it, I've gradually started to notice that my face would not turn be so quick to turn red as it used to. Even after hours of being under the sweltering sun and sweating like a mad pig, my face would only go so far as to show a slight tint of pink tones on the cheeks and at times it would even remain neutral looking which is the best part!

However, the type of skin you may have is definitely something to always consider when searching for the ideal facial sunblock. Reason being, my sister actually owned this sunsblock lotion prior to giving it to me to use because she felt it didn't quite meet her expectations, to which I then grew to be obsessed with. If your skin tends to secrete an excess amount of oil then I would probably not recommend this product for you because my sister felt that it only made her skin more oily. On the other hand, if you have dry skin like I do, then I would highly recommend this product because it acts as both an excellent source of moisture and protection for your skin.

Both me and my sister must agree though, that the application feels slightly heavier than some sunblocks (depends on whichever you normally use) but that's why they instruct that you apply it 30 minutes before being exposed to the sun. Afterwards, you wouldn't even feel like you're wearing anything on your face which is the beautiful part because you can still apply your usual BB Cream, etc. to your face without having to worry about your face feeling too thick. Moreover, you will definitely notice your skin appearing slightly paler upon immediate application but after the 30 minute duration it should settle properly into your skin and look natural. So even if you applied this during the winter season, you won't look like a complete vampire.

REVIEW // UniWigs' Synthetic Extensions (E72404)

May 21, 2014

Okay so I'm going to be honest with you guys, ever since I chopped off my hair over the autumn season, I've regretted it loads of time! Don't get me wrong though, while I did like my dark hair, deep down somewhere inside me, I missed my long ombre hair with it's luscious blond locks (ha), especially since I'm such a huge fan of braids! The number of different braided hairstyles that my sister would experiment on my long hair could seriously go on for days! Why, I could probably have had a different hairstyle for every single day, 365 days, 365 different hairstyles? What do you guys say? Think it's do-able for someone with long hair?
Likewise, I've been itching to invest in some wigs or extensions to satisfy my inner need for long hair again and that's when I landed upon these perfect ombre synthetic clip-on extensions (here) for my hair! And one the best parts about them is they come in 7 different pieces to make them more realistic unlike the usual single wide clip-on extensions AND you don't have to freak out about killing your hair with multiple bleaching processes to achieve blonde ends if you ever wanted to experiment with ombre hair!
