End of last year, I bought couple of samples from The Body Shop. One of the things I bought was the Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. Since not many people review The Body Shop, I decided to review this one... hehe~

Product Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner


Where can you purchase this: The Body Shop or online at thebodyshop-usa.com

Price: $12 for7 fl oz (I bought the 2 fl oz sample one)

Made in UK

Direction on the back: Removes traces of makeup-up and cleanser, prepares the skin to absorb moisturizer.

My thoughts: To be honest, I didn't know what to expect.  I had no expectation.  Okay that was a lie... lol~ :X I love their body butter (click here for my review on body butters) so I expected a lot from this brand, but on the other side, I didn't expect much because I didn't like their sample moisturizer I bought... hehe~ I actually liked this product for several reasons; it's for all skin, alcohol-free, not tested on animals, and it didn't dry out my skin... wheee~ I felt that it cleaned my face since I could see blackness on the cotton pad, but on the other hand, I think my face will absorb anything applied to it since I have dry skin... hehe~ Thankfully, my face isn't that dry compared to the winter weather... wheee~ I started using this sample size since January and I did notice dryness in the beginning when my skin was extremely dry from the winter weather. Now that it's not that dry, it seems okay.

Pros:
* For all skin type.

* Alcohol-free.

* Not tested on animals.

* Comes from a brand, The Body Shop, that is organic.

* Vitamin E.

* The smell is decent.

Cons:
* Definitely not for someone with extremely dry skin.

Would I buy this again? I just finished one sample bottle and have another to go. I will decided after I finish the second bottle... hehe~

Hints of toning your face:
* I usually soak toner on a cotton pad and wipe it around my face, behind the ears, and neck.
* When you wipe your face, don't apply roughly especially the sensitive areas like around your eyes. I've been doing this for years and started being more gentle on my skin.  My skin has improved. PLEASE don't make the mistake I did!... lol~ :X


I'm sure you guys know all this, but I don't want people to make the mistakes I did... hehe~ That's why I needed an older sister or a mother who was into cosmetics instead of learning all this myself *sigh*.

I wanted to review Max Factor PenSilks eyeliners, but I don't see a purpose when they don't sell Max Factor in the US anymore... hehe~  For that reason, I will quickly talk about it and move on... wheee~

I bought this eyeliner long time ago actually it's my second one. When I bought the first one, I only used it for a week until my cousin's wife took it back with her to Korea. She wanted it so I gave it to her. She used it for couple of weeks and told me how much she loved it. For that reason, I bought another one but never used it until recently.

This is how the eyeliner looked on my hand. The color in my opinion isn't bad... hehe~

After couple of rubbing, this is how the eyeliner looks. Oh mi gosh! :/

What I hated about this eyeliner is that after I apply it and curl my eyelashes, you will see in the next picture... hehe~ :P

The color rubs off and I see it on the eyelash curler. See how it's not as dark as the picture above? :/ So what I do now is curl my eyelashes and apply the eyeliner after. I would so throw this pencil away, but it's such a waste. I'm still using it but hot dang it's taking forever to finish... lol~ :X It also can be tough on the eyes especially if your lids are dry. You kind of have to tug on the lids to glide the pencil. When your lids aren't dry, then you don't need to tug.  I also noticed smudging and fading throughout the day. Basically, I don't think highly of this eye pencil... lol~ :X The weird thing is it got such a good rating on Makeup Alley (click here to read the review). :/

If you're wondering about my eye makeup, I used Visee (click here for my post).
