Clarins REVIEW!

Today I'm here to tell you about my favorite lipgloss! I found this product pretty interesting, mainly because I has heard so many things about it and multiple people said they didn't find anything special to it. So I picked it up and let me tell you this product is amazing! Its called the Clarins insta light natural lip perfector and mine is in 01 Rose.The taste first of all is great it is sweet but doesn't taste like anything. It is the creamiest lipgloss I have ever tried. 2 bonus features: it is non sticky but lasts so long! The color is subtle but in a way hides all imperfection and evens out the pigment in the lip. It is a great product for anyone I think that the amazing consistency makes it suitable to anybody! One of my favorite things about this product is the applicator which it comes in a squishy tube and a chrome lid, the tip to apply with is a fussy little pad where the product is dispensed from. Since these are a Clarins product, which is high end they do retail for a bit more money. The full size retails for almost 30$ which is a lot but for me it is well worth it! If you try it out let me know in the comments down below!

BOSS ORANGE REVIEW!

Hi there, so today i am reviewing a fragrance, Boss Orange.
It was sent to me to review, but as always all opinions are my own. I always love finding new scents, therefore i was excited to receive this particular one!

This is the description of the scent:
Top notes of sweet apple meld with the most feminine and intriguing floral heart which includes an abundance of white flowers and fragrant orange blossom. The passionate and warm base includes sandalwood, olive wood and creamy vanilla. 

To me all i can describe it as, is strong, and overwhelming. I didn't recognize any scents other then citrus. i really didn't appreciate the smell of it. If you do like the strong scents, this would be ideal for night time wear.
 I like when scents leave me smelling clean and sweet, therefore this obnoxious scent was really an inappropriate one for me. I am a fan of the packaging though, the bottle looks clean and fun. But once again, the smell is too much, it even gave me a head ache.

TIP TUESDAY!

Green tea, one of the most healthy drinks you will drink. im sure you all have heard of the benefits of green tea on a persons life but To sum it up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea can be helpful:
  • cancer
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • high cholesterol levels
  • cardiovascular disease
  • keeps your teeth healthy
  • various infections
  • gives you energy 
  • impaired immune function

    I drink over 4 cups of green tea everyday! i know the taste might not be for everybody, but try adding different ingredients to your tea, like lemon or orange juice, cranberry juice, or honey! You definitely get used to the taste after a while. One more tip is don't drink it at its highest heat point, wait a while to let it cool down before drinking it, this also helps with the taste.
    Green tea i have found to be one of the cheapest teas you can purchase! And is sold mostly anywhere!

Macadamia deep repair masque REVIEW!

As you all have been waiting for this, here it is, my review. I had heard so many gurus talk about this product and I decided that I also needed to invest in it. Due to my damaged hair I would be able to notice a big difference and I did. First of all I use this as a conditioner on the bottom half of my hair every time i wash my hair. The smell is amazing. The consistency is like a extremely thick lotion and it is a pearly beige color. I use about 2 table spoons of it and lather it in my hair. Leave it on for about 5 minutes in the shower and rinse it out. I've been using this for about 3 weeks and my hair is so soft and my dead ends have 90% disappeared. I am extremely satisfied with the results and would tell anybody to invest in it. I paid 19$ for mine but it usually retails for more than that. I am very impressed with the quality of the product, and like the whole macadamia line, the packaging is swell:)
Hope you are all having a great day!

Korres REVIEW!

Korres lip butter in plum. I also purchased this at the CCO type store for about 5 dollars it used to retail for around 15$ I have used this everyday since I purchased it. The color is amazing on my lips, it's a nice raspberry color. It has an amazing smell it smells like those cherry popsicle. I don't think that this product is long lasting but it does stain my lips and they stay that way for a while. It is not sticky or very moisturizing but I do enjoy the silky effect it leaves on my lips. I recommend this for a lip stain because the color pay off is amazing! Also the packaging is great and very cute:)

Smashbox REVIEW!

I'm reviewing the Smashbox creamy cheek color in the color Untamed. I purchased this at a CCO type store here near me. I got it for about 10 dollars and I believe it originally retailed for between 20-30$ I use this product as a bronzed and contour, because it has a brown and pink undertone. I don't usually go for cream products because of the blending problems some time. But this one is one that turns into a powdery form after. That being said I still am playing around with this product because I am not completely sold on it. For now I do not recommend this product because the color really doesn't work for me anyways. And the consistency is not my favorite for sure! I will let you know in a future review or on twitter if my thoughts change.

NARS REVIEW!

Today i am reviewing the NARS orgasm blush and laguna bronzer duo! I really enjoy both the products, the blush looks amazing on my skin, and is very popular all over the internet! I never usually go for shimmery Blush or bronzers but since these were raved about i decided to try them out! The shimmer is so minimal that it really doesn't make your skin shiny looking, just dewy! I am sure you all have heard of it, laguna bronzer is super popular! I am less of a fan of the bronzer because it does look slightly yellow on my skin, because i am so fair, but i do like the amount of pigmentation i get from it!  and i do really enjoy the long lasting power it has!One negative thing about this product is for sure the price! The lowest i have found it to be is 41 dollars! which is pretty crazy for blush and bronzer, therefore i present to you a very cheap alternative, the ELF contouring Blush& Bronzing Powder, i also own this and i can tell you honestly to me the results on my face are identical, if i run out, i will definitely be purchasing the ELF one! it retails for about 5 dollars, which is awesome!

NYX jumbo eye pencil REVIEW!



A great alternative to eye shadows is the jumbo eye pencils, i know multiple companies have these, or a form of these on the market, but the NYX ones are my favorite. They retail for about 4 dollars which is great, they are super creamy and very bendable. My favorite is the one in cottage cheese which is a iridescent pearly white! i use it on a daily basis as a inner corner and brow bone highlight! I find that this product lasts on my eyes all day, and i haven't found any dramatic creasing! Though some people do have oily eyelids,  i recommend using a eyelid primer before applying this product!

The Natural Source REVIEW!

This is my most recent favorite shampoo and conditioner, I am terribly sad to say as of this morning I have run out and do not know where these products are sold and if they still exist. Therefore I am making this review both to rave about this product and inform myself through you guys where I can buy this again. This product was truly amazing. It is moisturizing and left my hair super upper shiny and soft! If you have dry or damaged hair I recommend this product to you it honestly saved my hair and brought it back to a really healthy stage! My hair is blonde and I usually use a blonde shampoo or conditioner and mix it in with this one just to keep my blonde fresh. This product retailed for about 15$ per bottle which isn't bad for high end shampoo! If any of you know where I can purchase this in stores please let me know via twitter! Have a nice day!

Estée Lauder REVIEW!

Seeing that i have recently made a review on one great primer, i thought i would let you know of my second favorite face primer which i have just recently started using. it is the Estée Lauder Illuminating Perfecting Primer. It retails for 32$ for 1.0 fluid ounces. I does have a perfume like sent but doesn't seem to affect my skin. it has bits of shimmer, miniscule shimmer, which leaves your face looking dewy! it claims that it minimize the look of pores and flaws to create an even, supple canvas.Which i totally agree it does. it contains special hydrators and skin-soothing Vitamin E, Rice Bran Extract and Shea Butter nourish and perfect. I would recommend the Smashbox over this one, only because this one isn't clear, and has a particular scent, but i do recommend anyone on the market for a new primer to pick up a sample and trying it out before purchasing. And might i add, i enjoy the packaging... as always!

Straberry Sorbet REVIEW!


GUYS, I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!
I have been looking for this little guy for a really long time now, and i have found it! this one tastes much more sugary than the other ones i find! which is great, it is as moisturizing and long lasting then the other ones! I feel so happy to have found this because this is by far my very favorite lip balms EVER! Every one should have at least one, Pick up your favorite flavor today! Now i have to get my hand on the Passion fruit and the Tangerine one! I AM OBSESSED!

SmashBox REVIEW!

Today im going to be reviewing one of my favorite face primers, the Smashbox photo finish oil free foundation primer!

The great things about this product are:
1. Oil Free
2. Smell-less
3. Doesn't break out my uber sensitive skin
4. Makes my face pore-less
5. It is very light
6.You can find it at most places
7. Somehow very moisturizing
8. Makes my skin look dewy, NOT shiny
9. Amazing base for my foundation, makes me use less.
10. Stays on ALL day!

One thing that might make you not buy it is that it retails for around 50 dollars at most places. Which is insane! BUT... you can purchase the travel size for about 16 dollars and that is what i do because i haven't run out and i cant bring myself to buy a 50 dollar primer! I recommend this product to every body, i find that it is suitable for any skin type and color since it is clear!

TIP TUESDAY!

 
 This weeks tip is going to be on a healthier alternative to sugary drinks and pop!
Tip of the week, Try flavored teas! One of my current favorites is the Flavur Tea in blacktea lime and mint! it tastes great and is also great for you! it gives you energy without the sugar overdose! These sell for about 4 dollars each and they taste absolutely great! They only contain about 6 ingredients( which dont have those crazy names)

L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow REVIEW!

I own a couple of these, i purchased a small amount in case i didn't like them, Turns out I LOVE THEM!
Today im going to be reviewing my favorite one i purchase which is 02 HourGlass Beige. The picture is coming up darker than it truly is, but you get the idea. it is a very shimmery champagne color, the smoothness of these eye shadows is incredible. the packaging is really clean and fancy which i love, as you all know! i am a packaging freak, i love how it opens and how they give you the pressing tool. I have pigments because they are so messy but this one is amazing, and mess free! i recommend this because of the color pigment, they show up on all skin, they last all day, and the glitter doesn't end up all over your face! The only thing is the price. for drugstore, i think i paid 13 dollars each which is kind of insane, but i truly believe that the quality is as good as NARS or M.A.C. which then makes the price amazing!
