Hey girls! So lately since the season transition is starting, my skin feels like it chafes a lot after I take a shower. Maybe it’s me using plain old body soap instead of anything awesome so I really need a good moisturizer to use after I shower. Today I will be reviewing the Bodycology Body Cream. It retails for $5.49 and you can buy it from many drugstores as well as online. Keep reading to see my review on this product!
Pro(s):
-It’s really moisturizing without being too greasy.
-It absorbs really fast and isn’t too thick feeling.
-Its smells good, make a wide range of scents, and won’t irritate sensitive noses.
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: I absolutely think that the Bodycology brand is an amazing dupe for Bath and Body Works except cheaper. This product is $5.49 and the Bath and Body Work one is $10 so which one would you choose. I absolutely love this and it works really nicely. The moisture lasts me all day and doesn’t soap up when on contact with water. I suggested this to a few of my best friends and all of them loved it. Thanks to Kristal for requesting this review and I hope all of you find it very helpful!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes; it’s amazing as an after shower moisturizer without being too greasy!

Review: Liz Earle Daily Eye Repair SPF10 Triple Eye Care
Hey girls! So, most women don’t know the real reason they have dark circles and a wrinkly under eye. They say that they get enough sleep (at least 8 hours) and they don’t stay up too late, but the main problem is lack of moisture in that area. Lately, I’ve been using the Liz Earle Daily Eye Repair SPF10 Triple Eye Care. It has natural vitamin E and other natural ingredients that make it a favorite of organic product lovers everywhere. It retails for $13 for 10mL on their site. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-It moisturizes well and has SPF 10 to protect your eyes from the sun!
-It doesn’t smell like anything and it brightens the area wherever you use it!
-It affordable at only $13 for a high end eye cream since you only need a little bit everyday!
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: I think this is probably the best eye cream I’ve ever tried. I like how it’s like a pigmented white color and as you blend it out, it leaves the white-ness and brightens that area. It’s meant to brighten and get rid of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and mouth (even forehead), but I haven’t noticed any change in that. I just like it for brightening purposes. Also, after I use my favorite concealer (it’s just a tad drying), I slap this on and it brightens and also moisturizes my eyes so the concealer doesn’t set into fine lines. I think its very budget friendly. It’s a high end company so getting this for $13 a pop is really affordable in my opinion. Thanks for reading and more reviews will be coming up in the future!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, if you’re a high-end chic on a budget then this is the way to go!

Review: Smith's Strawberry Lip Balm and Moisturizer
Hey girls! How many times have I done a lip balm review? 5 times? Well, whatever the number, you can probably tell I’m obsessed with lip balms, so when I got the chance to try out Smith’s Strawberry Lip balm and Moisturizer, I was ecstatic. So here’s the low down on this product. It retails for $7 from Sephora’s site and their stores. You can also find it in select Bath and Body Works stores. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product! 
Pro(s):
-It works great as its original use as a lip balm (moisturizes well) and works great as a body moisturizer (minus the face).
-It smells great; exactly like strawberries in my opinion.
-Its affordable and can be conveniently found in almost any mall you go to.
-Smooth to apply and isn’t too soft or thick in consistency.
Con(s):
-It’s packaged in a tin.
Overall review: I think that overall this is a great lip moisturizer. It does the job with no hassle. The only thing is that germophobes might be really picky about using this product because it is in a tin and you have to dig your fingers in it whenever you use it. I personally don’t mind that, but other girls might. I think it’s the cutest thing to carry around in your purse for quick boosts of moisture. Even though it has petrolatum, it didn’t dry my lips after the product sank in.
Thanks to all of my readers for reading and have a great day!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Great to use as an everyday lip balm!

Mini-Reviews: Supergoop Products
Have any of you ever heard of affordable sunscreen wipes? Maybe non-greasy face sunscreen? How about lip balm with a high sunscreen that doesn’t stink? Well, I’ve found a brand which sells products with a high SPF and they doesn’t smell, have a greasy feel, or a drying feeling. It’s called Supergoop. I know what you’re thinking “Wait GOOP?”. Yeah, well don’t worry; you won’t be applying goop on your lips. Supergoop sells lip balm, sunscreen for the face and body, and sunscreen wipes as well as bug spray. Their products are practical but have high SPF. Today I’ll be reviewing their face and body moisturizer, lip balm, and sunscreen wipes. They can conveniently be found on their site, at Sephora stores and Sephora’s site. You’ll be amazed at how unique these products are!
My review (by product):
-Supergoop SPF 30 Wintermint Pocket stick: It’s sold in packs of four for $19. It glides on like butter, provided a sufficient amount of moisture to my lips without being greasy or too slippery. It’s easy to carry around and won’t be inconvenient to carry around. It stays on my lips for about 3 hours and leaves a good amount of moisture in my lips. It leaves them smooth and then it’s easier to apply any lip product. I use it to prime my lips in the morning.
-Supergoop SPF 30+ Sunscreen Wipes with Zinc for Sensitive Skin: This is the only kind of sunscreen wipes they have and the one for sensitive is for all skin types. You can get a pack of 40 wipes for $34 which comes out to 85 cents a wipe. They have enough moisture in them that they can be used on four people’s arms and legs. It doesn’t leave a wacky residue that isn’t too uncomfortable so you won’t feel much discomfort.
-Supergoop SPF 30+ Everyday face and Body Moisturizer: This moisturizer comes in a slim tube which contains 1.6 fl oz. of product for $12. This is one of the practical products in this line. It’s ultra moisturizing and worked on all of my clients with different types of skin. It has UVA and UVB protection and can be used every day. I think this product is the most affordable product that’s so amazing. You only need a little bit and it absorbs in almost instantaneously. It works great on oily skin too because it’s water resistant. It smells good and isn’t greasy feeling like normal sunscreens. This has t be my favorite product from this line.
Rating (by product):
-10/10 :)
-9.5/10
-10/10 :)
Would I recommend any of these? : If you just had to try one product, try the face and body moisturizer. I’m addicted to it!

Review: Smith's Rosebud Salve
Does anyone remember MAC’s Naked Honey collection? Didn’t everyone just go Gaga over the salve? Well, what if you could find a better slave for half the price. I had the chance to try out the Smith’s Rosebud Salve recently and I’ve got to say, I think I’ve fallen in love. It can be found on Sephora’s website as well as Bath and Body Works Stores ($5.99) and Sephora stores/counters ($6 for .8 oz.). It’s been a favorite of people since 1892, so I knew I had to try it. Let’s see how it worked out for me!
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing, non-sticky, and soft to apply.
-Cute tin which stores tons of product.
-Affordable at just $6 a pop.
-Smells great (like roses) and is multi-purpose to use all over the body (minus the face).
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: I actually really like this product. After seeing mixed reviews on this product, I decided to give it a chance. The tin will definitely not leak unless it’s like 100 degree weather and its melting. It’s relatively soft compared to their strawberry lip balm (review coming soon). I personally love carrying this in my purse, but it’s small enough to fit in your pocket. I use it on my lips, ankles, and elbows. Those are the driest spots on my body. I think everyone should have one of these. Even my boyfriend secretly uses this (he doesn’t want to be caught using a girly product LOL). Well, I hope everyone enjoyed this review and thanks to Jessica for requesting this review!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, I wouldn’t recommend it if I didn’t like it!

Review: Senna Daily Defense Antioxidant Moisturizer SPF 15
Hey girls! So in the summer, to keep your skin from aging, you always should use SPF, but I know all of us hate the oiliness of sun block. That’s why you should use a moisturizer with built in SPF. Today, I will be reviewing the Senna Daily Defense Antioxidant Moisturizer SPF 15. Now, generally Senna is known for their amazing line of cosmetic product, but I didn’t hesitate to use their skincare products because Senna is a high quality brand. Its retails for $22 and you get 2 oz. of product. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Great SPF protection.
-Not oily or greasy.
-Lightweight and contains vitamin c, green tea, and aloe.
-Thick in consistency, but absorbs quickly and sheers out as you apply.
-Has a pump which is very controllable and doesn’t leave a white tint like other sun blocks do.
Con(s):
-A bit pricey for $22 since the bottle is tinier than expected.
Overall review: As all of you can see, this has tons of pros, because I just think it’s absolutely amazing. It definitely softened my face because it has aloe and jojoba. It doesn’t have a scent which is good and it doesn’t leave a greasy feel. It made my face feel like a baby’s bum. I do think that you get little product for $22, but it’s really worth it if you want soft skin with sun protection. I personally think it’s amazing, but for people who are on a budget, you should save up for this. Also, it’s best for normal to oily skin so I don’t think girls with dry skin should venture out to this. Thanks to Nicky for requesting this review and I hope everyone else enjoyed!
Rating: 9/10
Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you’re on a budget, I don’t recommend it.

Review: Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser Dry/Sensitive
Hey girls! Today I will be fulfilling a reader’s request. She actually has been asking for this review forever. Well, here it is Julianne. I’m reviewing the Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturizer for dry/sensitive skin. It contains tons of natural and essential oils. They have two types a packaging available. You can get 1.6 fl oz of product for $31 in a jar or tube. You can also buy multi packs off of their website. Keep reading to see why I’ve been worshipping it ever since I got it!
Pro(s):
-Moisturizes well and contains natural oils such as avocado oil.
-Doesn’t test on animals nor does it contain animal extracts.
-Protects skin and absorbs quickly with no greasy feeling.
-A little bit will take you a long way.
Con(s):
-The scent bothers me because it’s so botanical, but others might like it so it’s a matter of personal preference.
Overall review: I really like this moisturizer since it’s great for dry/sensitive skin. I actually mix my foundation with it for the days that I don’t feel like using a heavy foundation and those days, people say my skin in glowing. I think it’s because of all the naturally active ingredients in it like avocado oil and natural vitamin E. Those ingredients are really good for the skin and if your moisturizer has them, you’re a lucky lady. Te thing I like most is that they have a tube available and a jar so whoever likes digging their fingers in their moisturizer, there something for you too. For all of you other germophobes, there is a tube with the exact amount the jar has and for the same price. I think the price might bother some people, but if you can pay so much for MAC Strobe Cream, then you should definitely get this. Thanks to Julianne for requesting this review and thanks for reading!
Rating: 9/10
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, for really damaged dry skin, this is the way to go!

Review: Olivella All Natural Virgin Olive Oil Moisturizer
Hey girls! Today feels like it’s taking forever. First I went to the Post Office and then I went grocery shopping. Well, I don’t want to bore you with my boring day so let’s get on with today’s first review. I will be reviewing the Olivella All Natural Virgin Oil Moisturizer. It comes in a glass pump bottle with 1.69 fl oz. of product for $21. It’s multi-purpose oil that’s supposed to acts as moisturizing oil for the entire body. Keep reading to find out whether it’s worth buying or not!
Pro(s):
-It moisturizes my elbows and didn’t make me break out when I used this on my face.
-It’s great to apply in your hair before you wash it for extra conditioning in a dry scalp.
-Its great to use as a night time moisturizer since all the oil will sink in and the anti-aging properties of it will go to work.
-One bottle will last you a long time and this doesn’t smell odd!
-It's paraben free (paraben was found in cancer patients).
Con(s):
-I think you can live with using normal olive oil.
Overall review: I think that this is a product for people who can afford it. If you think that you really need it then get it, but if you can just buy extra virgin olive oil in your grocery store, then this isn’t worth buying. If you cannot afford to shell out $21 for an ounce or two of oil, then don’t get this. I think that people who mainly buy high end products might find it in their price range. For me thought, I don’t think I would repurchase it since I have more than enough olive oil in my house. Well, thanks to Shelly for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!
Rating: 9.5/10
Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you’re a girl on a budget, opt out for normal olive oil instead!

Review: Marie Louise Moisturizing Toner
Hey girls! So, I bet rarely you bump into a toner which is super moisturizing and still removes excess sebum? Well, the product I’m reviewing today is everything I just described the perfect toner and more. It’s called the Marie Louise Moisturizing. It mixes hydrolyzed yeast and desalted deep sea water to remove excess sebum and makeup while moisturizing your face to keep your skin glowing in a natural way. You can purchase it on their site (link will be in the sidebar) for $81 which might seem a lot, but keep reading to see why it’s worth it!
Pro(s):
-It removes excess makeup while not drying out your skin.
-It conditions and won’t leave a film like other toners.
-Fragrant perfume-y smell that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
Con(s):
-A bit pricey, but worth it (pro?)!
Overall review: I didn’t have to rinse my face after using the tones because it doesn’t leave a sticky film. $81 might seem like a lot, but it’s actually worth it. I’ve been using this since April and it really transformed my skin. It part of my daily face routine now sine it’s really conditioning. It doesn’t dry out my skin like Clinique’s toner. Since its professional skincare, I don’t think you would need to get a facial because ever since I’ve used this, my esthecian has seen an improvement in my skin. I don’t break out that often either. It’s only once in a while testing out products. Oh yeah, and one bottle will last you forever! Thanks to Lola for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, totally worth the $81!

Review: new Bodycology Hand and Body Lotion
Pro(s):
-Very affordable since it will only set you back $4.99.
-Very moisturizing and the scent will last a god 3-4 hours.
-Its feels lightweight and non-greasy.
Con(s):
-I wish it had some SPF!
Overall review: This moisturizer is great for the summer since its lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy or oily. That’s one of my pet peeves when a lotion is oily and feels slick. I just hate that, but thankfully this isn’t like that. The scent I have is in Vanilla Cupcake and it smells exactly like it. I love sweet scents as I might have said in a previous review so I love this. I think that if this company came out with more products then it will be better than Bath & Body Works. Thanks to Jamie for requesting this review and I hope all of my viewers enjoyed this!

Review: Lush Space Girl Bath Bomb
Hey girls! Did you know Lush came out with Space Girl bath bomb that makes your skin shimmer after one use? Well, today I will be reviewing it. It retails for $4.95 on their site and in-store. It smells a lot like black currants. You can buy it by clicking the link in the side bar to go to their site. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Its vegan and it makes you skin really soft!
-The scent is fruity and relaxing!
-It pretty affordable compared to other Lush bath bombs!
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: It makes you skin glow because of the shimmer, but the point of bath bombs is to condition the skin. Basically you fill your tub with warm water and just drop one of these bad boys in to fizz up. Then soak yourself in the water. It will change color based on the bath bomb, but in short, the bath bomb has moisturizing oils which condition your skin. Its best for soaking after a long week of hard work (believe me I know how it feels to stand around checking patients all day long). Thanks to Anya for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed.

Review: Marie Louise Facial Moisturizer
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Louise Facial Moisturizer. You can buy it for $75 currently since they have a 31% discount at the beginning of the month but its original price is $109. You can purchase it at their website (the link is in the right bar). You get 1.06 ounces of product. Keep reading to know more!
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing.
-Plumps and firms my skin.
-It doesn’t make me greasy.
Con(s):
-Made me break out and I have dry skin in the winter.
Overall review: I really like this product for the winter months when your skin is dehydrated and dry. It absorbs in very fast and it feels very soft on your skin. I fell that it’s best for older people because it might be too thick for younger skin. It can cause little bumps on your skin. Other than that, it made be break out, but it wasn’t that bad. I just really like it, but not for summer. Thanks to Gina for requesting this review and I hope all of my readers enjoy my review!

Review: Creamery Creek Goat Milk Soap
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Creamery Creek Goat Milk Soap. This retails for $5 a bar from Creamerycreek.com. These soaps are handmade with goat milk. They have their own dairy and they make these awesome soaps from them. The bar that I have is in Lime Sugar and it smells citrusy with sweet scents added to it. I think that this fragrance is very unique. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Doesn’t leave dry spots and one bar lasts forever!
-Very moisturizing and affordable!
-Leaves a very squeaky clean feel!
-They have a wide range of scents!
Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!
Overall review: I just love this product! Since I used to have eczema, this product is perfect for getting rid of those dry spots. My skin literally squeaked when I used this soap. One bar last me forever since I cut it into a couple of chunks. I’m still not done with it! This product is great for diabetics and people with skin problems like eczema. I really suggest this product to anyone. A couple of my cousins made a huge order on their products. I hope all of you enjoyed my review on this product!

Review: Motives Cosmetics Lipstick
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Motives Cosmetics Lipstick in Lolita Pink. This shade is like a bight frosted hot pink, but it doesn’t look that bright on your lips. You can purchase it from their website and it retails for $14. It’s a cosmetics line created by Loren Ridinger. It’s their Rich Formula Lipstick and keep reading to know why!
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing and pigmented!
-Stays on for a fairly long time (4 hours +).
-Very opaque color in just one swipe.
Con(s):
-None found during the testing of this product!
Overall review: I really like this lipstick. It’s really moisturizing. It feels like wearing a lip balm, but its uber pigmented. The cool thing it that it cost just as much as a MAC lipstick does and is better quality that nay of the MAC formulas of lipsticks. Thanks to Alyssa for requesting the review and I hope everyone enjoyed this review!

Review: LeVin Skincare Face Cream
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Le Vin Face Cream with Antioxidant Wine Therapy. This ingredient keeps your skin from environmental stressors. It also doesn’t make your skin appear like its aging. As we all know, for decades people have been drinking red wine and water to keep their skin healthy, but now you don’t have to do that because using this cream will create that appearance on your face. The ingredient that I saw in it and got excited was Hyaluronic Acid which de-puffs and doesn’t make your skin dull. I used to use an eye cream with Hyaluronic Acid and it de-puffed my eyes and made them look alive. Keep reading to see what my opinion on this product is.
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing and doesn’t grease up my face throughout the day.
-It doesn’t smell bad. I actually like it because it’s light and not too strong.
-Cute packaging.
-A little bit goes a long way and it’s organic.
Con(s):
-None found while testing this product!
Overall review: I just love this face cream. It’s not too thick or too runny. It’s right in the middle. It’s made of a lot of organic ingredients like Chamomile and Lavender as well as Sunflower seed Oil and Flax Seed oil. The thing I like most about this product is that it doesn’t create those small bumps on my face that happen when I use thick face creams. The reason behind that is that your skin can’t absorb all of that thick moisturizer so thus your skin becomes mildly irritated to it and you get bumps. Note: I am in no way a professional for skincare and what works for me may not work for you. I hope Julie enjoyed my review since she was the one who requested it. All of you other viewers too I hope you enjoy!

Review: MOR Cosmetics Body Butter
Hey girls! Today for the millionth time, I will be reviewing the MOR Cosmetics body butter in lychee flower. This body butter retails for $26 from Morcosmetics.com and other retailers. It smells exactly like lychee juice if you’ve ever tried it. It just is a bit less sugary smelling. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing.
-The moisture definitely lasts long (think and entire working day).
-It’s the best gift to give anyone.
-You get a lot of product for its price.
Con(s):
-A bit too pricey.
Overall review: Its one of the best body butters I’ve tried. Its consistency is a bit thick so you don’t have to use a lot. It’s not exactly like butter because it doesn’t melt into your skin; it’s just a name. It doesn’t smell bad at all and the scent range is pretty big since it has over 15 different scents for different noses. I personally adore the tub size of it but others might think it’s too bulky and not travel friendly. The thing that people normally want in a product like this is an SPF factor, but this doesn’t have any. Actually think that since it’s so thick, its perfect for the winter and you wouldn’t need much SPF so it’s okay. I hope this review helped all of you and the person who requested it: Janelle. Enjoy!

Review: Lipstick Queen Pop Art Lip Gloss
Hi girls, today I’m reviewing the Lipstick Queen 15 minutes of Fame Pop Art Lip-gloss in 6 minutes and 10 minutes. This retails for $16.50 from Lipstickqueen.com, boutiques, as well as QVC and QVC.com. 6 minutes is a peachy apricot color. 10 minutes is a berry color in the tube and that’s how it comes out on the lips except with a more pinkish tint. I’m actually wearing it now. Keep reading for more information!
Pros:
-Stays on long; approximately 6 hours.
-It has the pigmentation of a lipstick.
-It’s very shiny,
-It goes on smooth.
-Its non sticky.
-It smells good; I can’t describe it.
-Nice brush tip applicator.
-Compact so it’s good for on the go.
Con(s):
-No cons!
Overall review: I think these are a staple in every makeup artists’ kit. They are much pigmented and double up as a lipstick and gloss into one. They aren’t really that pricey compared to Stila’s lip glazes. A little goes a long way with these. They are a lot like OCC’s lip tars. I really like the packaging on them, very normal and simply glamorous in my opinion. I think all girls need to have at least one of these. I hope you enjoyed!
Would I purchase it again? : Yes.
Rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10 nice brush tip applicator and very slim and compact.
Is it VICKY approved? : Yes of course.

Review: Lush Celestial Facial Moisturizer
Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Over the Christmas break, many companies sent me different things, so I will be reviewing them over the weekend which is today and tomorrow. I’m reviewing the Lush Celestial Facial Moisturizer now. It is one of Lush’s best selling products for the winter. Keep reading for more information.
Pros: It is perfect for dry skin and it moisturizes very well. My skin doesn’t feel greasy or anything and it provides a great base for makeup. It makes my pores appear smaller, but it might not provide the same results for you. It moisturizes very well and I even out it on my lips for overnight protection.
Cons: It might make you look oily if you have normal to oily skin. When my mom used it, her skin looked oily and I told her to put some powder over it so that it looks less oily. Also it has no SPF which doesn’t really matter because in the winter there are not really many sun’s rays.
Overall review: I plan on purchasing another jar of this stuff. It’s very natural and doesn’t clog pores. It has an expiration date because it’s made with natural products such as vanilla extract and almond oil. It helps your skin in the winter because it sufficiently hydrates. Once you apply it, you don’t have to apply it for the rest of the day and this doesn’t wear off. That’s the reason I love it so very much.

Review: Skin MD Natural Shileding Moisturizer
Hi girls, I apologize for not being able to put up any posts. I just had so many clients coming to me. Over the Christmas break, many companies sent me different things, so I will be reviewing them over the weekend which is today and tomorrow. Today I’m reviewing the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. Keep reading for more information.
Pros: Its paraben free which is good for our skin. Its non-hypoallergenic so sensitive skin has no problem using this. It can be used on the face, hands, and body. It’s also non-comedogenic which means it doesn’t clog pores. They also have a version available with SPF 15. They also don’t test on animals because I love animals. Well, now let’s get to the point. It is a watery and thin consistency. It absorbs into the skin very quickly leaving the skin very smooth and basically baby soft. It actually protects against windburns since my skin get windburn very fast and I was using this when I went to a baseball game. The wind was blowing right in my face, but I didn’t get red like other times.
Cons: No cons!
Overall review: This lotion is best for all weather since it doesn’t have a greasy feeling which can get on your verves in the summer. This doesn’t make my skin oily. It provides a sufficient amount of moisture. My skin is dry and when I put this on, my skin feel very natural just like when I was a baby. I had perfect normal skin. I swear I can live off of this stuff.
Would I purchase it again: Yes, definitely. If I didn’t have this sent to me and I bought it on my own, would have bought this again.
