Review: Bodycology Body Cream


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!

Review: DuWop Iced Teas Lip Treatment


Hey girls! So today I will be reviewing yet another unique product. It’s the DuWop Iced Tea lip treatment. Basically they’re these lip treatments that come in a variety of tints and they all taste and smell like iced tea mixed with mint. I have the white peach iced tea and it retails for $19. You can buy it off of DuWop’s site as well as in Sephora stores and their website. I think it’s definitely worth praise and you probably will too after reading my review!


Pro(s):
-Very sanitary in stick form and tastes good.
-Very moisturizing and good to use as a base for any lip product.
-It smoothes out the lines on my lips and the scent isn’t too heavy or disturbing.


Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!

Overall review: I absolutely love this product. I don’t understand why DuWop doesn’t get enough recognition for their products. Well, I can safely say that this product is worth buying. It’s a lip treatment that tastes good, smells good, and moisturizes well. I think that anyone looking for a good lip primer will like this. Even though it’s not officially a lip primer, it’s just as good. When used on its own you get a nice glossy finish. I hope all of you enjoy my review and thanks for reading!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, if you’re willing to shell out $19 for a good lip treatment.

Review: Softlips Pure 100% Natral Hydrating Lip Butter


Hey girls! Sorry for the obnoxiously long break (5-6 days), but I just had tons and tons going on. Well, that timeframe gave me the chance to test out more products. Well, since we’re transitioning from summer to fall very soon, the weather will definitely dry out your lips. I know that every time I go to California, my lips get super dry. So, the one product that I’ve been swearing by lately is the new Softlips Vanilla Berry Lip butter. This is a new product from their recent 100% natural line. It can be found at almost all drugstores for an affordable price of $5. Keep reading for my thoughts on this product!


Pro(s):
-It’s really moisturizing, clear, and gives of sheen.
-It comes in a squeeze tube and it has SPF 15.
-It’s pretty affordable compared to Korres and other lip butters.


Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted.


Overall review: I think the fact that it comes in a squeeze is really attracting about this product. It’s also conveniently found at all drugstores and is thus easily accessible. I just love that it’s like a paste instead of a solid butter in a jar (like Korres lip butter). It’s really good for germophobes who hate to dig their dirty fingers in pots or jars of product. It’s great to use under your lipstick/gloss as it keeps more moisture in. A crazy thought after seeing my swatch photo was that this product looks a bit like sperm to me. I guess it’s just me because I have perverted thoughts lol! I hope all of you enjoyed and thanks to Juanita for requesting this review!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you don’t want to shell out $10 for Korres lip butter, this will do the job for less!

Review: Bodycology Rich & Creamy Body Wash


Hey girls! As we all know by now, I absolutely love bath products. I always use a body wash or body gel when I shower. Soap can never do it for me. So today, I’ll be reviewing a really affordable body wash. It’s the Bodycology Rich & Creamy Body Wash in the Deep Cleansing. They have many versions available; one of which I have which is in Deep Cleansing and smells like grapefruit and oranges. They can be found at many drugstores including Walgreens, CVS, and Target at a retail price of $4.99 for 18 fl oz. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-It moisturizes my skin and deep cleanses.
-It doesn’t leave dry spots and it’s very affordable.
-It refreshes me in the morning and

Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!

Overall review: I think this is a great back to school buy. It’s affordable, works great, and refreshes you in the morning. I will definitely need this when I start my residency. I’ll spend my day looking at little kids and I’ll need to be refreshed and energized so I won’t incorrectly diagnose little babies. I’m not too fond of the scent because I don’t like grapefruits, but I do love oranges so it’s not much of a problem. They do have several other scents available for every nose. You don’t even need much for your entire body because it lathers really well. I hope all of you enjoyed and thanks for reading!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes; for a deep clean and awake feel, its steal for only $3.99.

Review: Boots No 7 Stay Perfect Lipstick


Hey girls! I don’t know about you but I’ve been looking into a lot of international brands lately. Out of one of them in Boots No 7 which is thankfully available at Target in the US because of my new found love with their products. I was recently introduced to the Boots No 7 Stay Perfect Lipstick. It retails for $9.99 and I have it in the shade 04 Mischief. The shade is a cool medium pink with fine shimmer. It comes packaged in a black tube with the No 7 logo in gold printed on it. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!


Pro(s):
-It’s very moisturizing and opaque in 1-2 swipes.
-It glides on smoothly and stays on for 5 hours before it’s completely faded away.
-It’s great for cool skin toned people.


Con(s):
-It makes the fine lines of my lips exaggerated.


Overall review: Overall, I would have to say that’s this lipstick is a great buy. It’s really moisturizing and opaque, but select shades might not be for warm/cool skin toned people. The thing I hate about it is that if my lips aren’t exfoliated, it makes my lips looks flaky and it exaggerates the fine lines and cracks on my lips. You get plenty of product in the tube so you don’t need to apply worry if your favorite shade if used up. Well, I hope all of you enjoyed and thanks to Nisha for requesting this review!


Rating: 9.5/10

Is it VICKY approved? : If you don’t mind exfoliating before using this product then go ahead and buy it!
