The battle of Toners (Dior, Lancome, Benefit)

Toners, toners, toners....do they actually make a difference to our skin?...There are so many kinds of toners out in the market, for most people, it's hard to find their holy grail toner that actually work.

Dior Lotion Purifying Tonic - Sephora/The Bay 

This is such an IMPULSE buy, but i'm so glad that I tried it out.
The texture of the toner is very liquidity/watery. The smell is clean, but you can definitely smell the alcohol in it.

It mattifies the skin and does a fantastic job at cleaning up any left over makeup that I might have missed after washing the face.

This is a nice product for those with combination to oily skin. It still keeps the skin some what moisturized, without giving a squeaky clean feeling.

I wouldn't say this toner is a must have, or you'll need to go out and buy it right way. I probably won't repurchase it any time soon due to the steep price point. But overall, this is a really nice toner. Better than Laneige's toner for pore, or the toners that I'll be reviewing next.

Benefit's Moisture Prep Base Hydratante Toner & Lancome Tonique Comfort - Available at Sephora/Shoppers Drug Mart
These two toners share many similarities in terms of texture, function and consistencies. 


Both toners offer rich moisturization to the skin, without making it feel oily. The texture is very thick, comes out like a liquidity lotion. I personally am not a fan of these 2 toners because I don't feel like it's offering anything outstanding to the face. It doesn't clean up the face well like the Dior, and I feel like it doesn't do anything to improve the texture of my skin.

The scents on these toners are nice, but I don't think this only factor will make me want to repurchase it again.

Review: Marc Jacob's Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation

Deng Deng Deng! I placed an order through Sephora.ca about a month ago, as I was very interested in trying Marc Jacob's new makeup line. I pretty much made the order when the line was first launched, so I had no idea which will be hits or misses.  The one product I wanted to try out was the powder foundation - Let's talk about the packaging... Like every other reviewers, Marc Jacob definitely did a great job in designing his products.  He differentiated his products by rounding the 4 edges on the side, while keeping the traditional black sleek case trend.  He also got a little silver push button at the side, which adds a little bit of classiness to the look.  Once the compact is opened, you can see a huge mirror on the lid, and because of this, the weight of the foundation is relatively heavier compared to other compact foundations. Now on to the product - The color I got is 300 Beige (I am normally a shade 30 in Dior/Chanel foundations)...

RevlonColorBurst Lip Butters - Peach From Top to bottom: 1. Lilac Pastel 2. Strawberry Fraise 3. Hot Pink Rose Vibrant Overall, I think the color payoff for these lipsticks + lip glosses are very pigmented. But I find that the lip butters are quite drying after 30min or so. I can see my lips start to dry up alot more if I wear these lip butters on a daily basis.  The lip glosses are very opaque and the colors are really pretty, however, it doesn't last long...
