Neutrogena Visibly even/ Healthy skin review

Hello everyone!

I waited quite a while to make this review for these 2 cleansers. I wanted to know 100% that they don't affect my skin in any way through a longer period of time. I've tested them for about 2 months, before I even decided to write a review for them.

I have part oily/part dry skin. It's a very problematic type of skin. My cheek bones and my nose, even my chin are very oily. My forehead and around my eyes I get dry skin that peels and flakes very easy. I get acnee from hell without anything significant happening to my face. I believe is stress related, but not many products help me. I've tried everything to make it go away and stay away.

My experience with Neutrogena cleansers started last year when I received a travel size sample of Visibly Bright cleanser. I loved it so much that I wanted to purchase a full size when I ran out, but couldn't find it at my local store anymore, so I decided to get the Visibly Even instead.

I read reviews on the product website page before even attempting to get it. The full size of 150ml is about 8 dollars, so I gave it a try.

I have red splotches all over my face and scars from acnee. This cleanser is actually a scrub. I had no idea at first. I'm seriously not friends with scrubs. I have the bad habit to get it in my eyes all the time. I started using it everyday, once a day, when I was showering. The results kinda amazed me. My red patches of skin started fading after few days. In about 10 days they were pretty much gone.

It came with a side effect as well. The dry skin on my face turned even drier. I was looking for something else to use with this cleanser. I didnt want an alternative since this one was making my spots go away. So I went back to the store and looked through their products and found Healthy Skin.

I have fine lines around my eyes, those stress related as well, and the smoking also doesn't help. The bottle says "anti wrinkle/ anti blemish" so I got it without even reading reviews.

I started using it togheter with Visibly Even. The consistency of this one is a white cream, almost jelly. It's a little hard to form a foam in your palms with it. I squeeze a drop of it on a  facial brush and gently massage it on the skin and around my eyes. I tend to insist with this cleanser in the areas where fine lines are more visible.

Using these 2 togheter made my acnee go away completely in about 2 weeks of everyday use once a day. I still got some scars on my forehead but they faded a lot already.

Overall Im super happy with the combination Im using right now. I probably wouldnt be able to constantly use Visibly Even by itself because of my very picky skin type, but it does what it says it will. Healthy Skin moisturisez my skin after I use Visibly Even, I think thats why this combination works so good for me.

No matter how good these work for me, as soon as I stop using them, my acnee returns with a vengeance. I tested not using them for about a week, and my acnee returned. As soon as I started using them again, my acnee started to fade.

It might not work for you or it might. After all we're all very different. But if you had other types of experience with any of these 2 cleansers or one of them, feel free to share it with me.

Thank you for stopping by!

Accent nail also has a sticker with white roses with a 2mm clear rhinestone in the middle.

All the other nails have a rhinestone accent at the base.

Rasta and rainbows

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be sharing a design I've done, this time not on my nails.

I've been doing nails recently and I kinda love it. My model for today is Abby.

She has really short nails, a little hard to paint on, but her design is fully painted with acrylic paints.

After applying a base coat I used the smallest brush I had to create a mix of ranbow lines and rasta colors, with black accents in the corners.

One hand has main ranbow with rasta accent on the ring finger nail, and reversed on the other hand.

Pretty cool ha? Only took about 3 hours to complete LOL.

Everything was sealed with 1 coat of top coat to protect the paint from bleeding in water.

The paints and brushes were both bought from born pretty store. Links below:

Have fun and thank you for stopping by!

Purples and bows

Hey everyone!!

Here's a quick mani I done few days ago. I was in a rush and I remembered I ordered these super adorable stamping plates a while back, that were still sealed and I digged through them and found this cute bow design that I HAD!! to use.

Did 2 coats of Kleancolor pastel purple and 1 coat of LA colors Color Craze.

Polish is called jewel tone and you can find it here if your drugstore doesn't have it.

Did one layer of top coat and for stamping I used Wet n wild megalast White topping and Broadway nails black out.

First I stamped a background with black from this plate. This is from bornprettystore and its number 12025. You can find it here for 2.99 or 199 right now on discount.

The second plate is the adorable one with bows, item nr 12173  Find it here  for 1.54 right now (2.99 normal price)

For every bow I used a 2mm clear rhinestone to add some bling. Rhinestones also from born pretty store and you can find them here 

Use code DILIC10 for 10% discount and free shipping

Sealed everything in 1 layer of top coat and voila. Easy and effective.

Have fun and thank you for stopping by!

New stamping plates from born pretty store

Hi everyone!


If you love stamping as much as I do, you'd love to know that born pretty store has brought in a bunch of new stamping plates!

Not only the classic metal ones, but also the silicone ones that I didn't use yet, maybe you can share some techniques with me because I'm planning to try them out soon anyway.

The code for 10% discount is BPSL91 and you can find all the new arrivals here http://www.bornprettystore.com/stamping-nail-c-268_94.html?ver=2657.
Also I'f you're as messy as I am you'd love to know that they brought in some new cases for storing the plates. They look like CD/DVD cases but smaller, and they're a must have for those plate collectors.
