Review: Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser!

Hey guys!
 Sorry I've been MIA for a week or two, my camera is being stupid :( Anyway, I thought I'd do a review on the one skin care product I cannot live without!

Packaging:
8/10
The packaging is great, in my opinion. I love how it has a pump and how it's cute and simple. It's not too to big, but it's not really small. It's just right, but you may have a different opinion on that ;) 


Product:
10/10!!
I LOVE this cleanser!!! I have oily/acne prone skin and this does wonders for me. Within one usage my skin was obviously more clearer. I use to have acne a lot on my forehead and that's completely gone. I still have a few spots here and there on my cheeks, but there is hardly anything anymore.


Length Of Time Using: 4 months


Overall/Additional Details: 
18/20
This cleanser is my life...literally! I simply cannot wait until I wake up or go to sleep, knowing my skin is getting a great treatment. At first, I only had to use one pump but now, to satisfy my skin more I use 3-4 pumps. But don't worry, I never waste product like this. This specific product is one my my holy grail products. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has oily or acne prone skin. Also, it smells like apples! :)

Thanks guys!

My Current Hair Obsessions & My Hair Care Routine! :)

Hi beauties!
These are my current hair obsessions!
Tresemme's Clean & Natural Shampoo ~ $6.50 - Zellers (Target)
Exact's White Peony Conditioner ~ $ Unknown - Grocery stores
Infusium23's Heat Activated Leave In Conditioner ~ $3.00 - Zellers (Target), Drugstores
Conair Shower Comb (Done a review on it, price unknown)
Goody Paddle Brush & Bobby pins (Prices unknown, store unknown)


Care Routine!
So, in the shower/bath I use my Tresemme shampoo (above) and massage it into my scalp, making my way down to my ends. I rinse immediately--it's not good for your hair to leave shampoo in for a long time. Then I use my Exact conditioner on the bottom half of my hair, focusing more on my ends. When I get out of the shower, I wrap my hair in a towel and get into my clothes or pyjamas. I take the towel out, spraying Infusium23's Leave-In Conditioner  onto my ends, combing it through. I comb the rest of my hair and let it air dry.


I use heat 2-4 times a month, hardly any heat is used though.

Maybelline Great Big Lash Mascara Review:


This is the mascara I've been raving about to EVERYONE. Today, I'm doing a review for you girls so you know how much I really love this product. So, recently I've just gotten into all that make-up stuff a lot. I was a bit before, using pressed powder for coverage and eye shadow. I'm expanding my collection, and this sits amongst it all.


Packaging:
8.5/10
 I'm a BIG fan for pretty packaging and this hot pink and green packaging has caught my attention. I'm also a sucker for media, that's what got me to buy this...( :3 ) The packaging is great, it's travel-friendly, takes up little room and is very lightweight. 


Formula/Colour-age:
 7/10
I got this mascara in blackest-black. Really, it does nothing but apply volume to my lashes. I don't think anyone can see it, unless I'm not apply enough of this? But I do really love the volume you get from this, it seems natural and almost as if you're wearing false lashes.


Overall:
15.5/20
This mascara has grown on me, I've been using it since January 16 and let's just say, I'm LOVING it!! It wasn't too expensive for a drugstore product and it's a very lightweight mascara. The only thing I don't really like about it is that when I rub my eyes, it comes off onto my skin.
