Olay | Oil Minimizing Toner (Review)

Product Summary:
Olay oil minimizing clean toner removes dirt, excess oil and makeup from your skin. 
For everyday use, the formula was designed by Olay skin experts and tested by dermatologists.
Add this toner to your skin care routine to remove impurities without stripping skin of its essential moisture. Costs around $8.
How to use: Moisten a lean cotton ball with the toner and wipe face and neck.

***Not cruelty free 👎***

With the summer heat hitting us hard, the oil being produced on my face has increased exponentially. I produce a lot of oil in my t-zone and I need a product that will help control my oil production while not stripping my skin of essential moisture. Accompanying this heat is sweat which unfortunately, cause small, little sweat pimples. 

This toner does remove the oil on my face and decreases the oil production on my face. It also removes some makeup but beyond that it really isn't all that great. I can't use this toner near my eyes since its scent is extremely overpowering and it burns worse than cutting onions. I'm not able to use this toner to fully remove my makeup. I personally would not depend on this for makeup removal. I tried using this to remove my full makeup and it still left a lot of makeup behind. While it does help by removing blackheads it does not, however, remove those little sweat pimples I get nor does it help with the regular pimples. 

Rating:
I am going to give Olay's toner 1.5 stars on 5. While it was nice to use to refresh my face and control my oil production it just doesn't cut it for makeup removal or even to help with my sweat pimples. I like to use products that do all of those things. I had high hopes for this toner but it was a let down. Definitely, won't be repurchasing.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po...
