Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation #BetterSkinChallenge

Hey guys!!! I received the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. I had been wanting to try this foundation so I go really excited that I got picked for this box. One thing I was hoping for was they send me the best color they could to match me. Once I received it I was disappointed with the shade and I was going to look like a total ghost while wearing this, but I decided to still try it and go out in public like that. I just made sure that I bronzed really well. I would have tested out the flash to see if there was a flashback, but because it is too light and it has pink undertone it would come out ghostly regardless. I was surprised with how nice it looked on my skin. The finish was beautiful and it actually looked like skin. Just like any other foundation after 5 hours or so my oils start to seep through and I blot it away and it comes back again a few more hours later.  It was a medium to full coverag

Birchbox August 2015 Unboxing

Hey guys!!! Like I told you all last night today I will be showing you what I got in my Birchbox this month. Unfortunately I won't be using a few of these things because it isn't for me, but I will be giving it away to either friends or you guys. I had to redo the personal test on the website so hopefully I will get more products that suit me more. IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer-  This is a primer that is rich in fruit extracts, has SPF 15 and will give your skin a luminous finish. I am already oily soooo I don't need anymore luminosity on my skin. I am sure some of you guys know how I feel. Balance Me Congested Skin Serum-  Calming spot treatment that fights blemishes, refines pores, and balances skin without drying. I am using a new serum at the moment and so far I am liking it so I don't want to mess my skin care up even though it sounds so amazing to try.  Air Repair Complexion Boosting Moisturizer-  It is packed with antioxidants and humectants.

Glossybox August 2015

Hey guys!!! I know I recently did the July box, but I wanted to show you guys what I got this month now so we can move on to more makeup reviews. I am going to do my Birchbox tomorrow just heads up. Sparitual Nail Lacquer-  I was excited to try this polish out because it is vegan and I had never tried one before. I already tried it out and I was surprised how fast it dried. Also it lasted me 5 days without chipping. That impressed me! GlamGlow Youthcleanse Daily Clearing Cleanser-  This is a great sample to try out this cleanser, but I don't want to change my skin care routine just yet. I love to try masks out tho. I might give this away to someone or even to you guys. I am thinking about it. Lollipops Makeup Lip Balm-  This is a paraben free lip product and protects against UV rays and pollution. This also a Mexican plant called tepescohuite extract. I'm Mexican and I don't even know what that is haha. I am interested to try this. Manna Kadar Cosm

MakeupGeek Foiled Eyeshadows

Hey guys!!! I have had these eyeshadows for a while now and I had been playing with them for a while. I am loving every single one of them. These eyeshadows are from the first 10 she released and I want more because they are that amazing! (Left to Right: Center Stage, Caitlin Rose, Houdini, Jester, and Flamethrower) (Left to Right: Center Stage, Caitlin Rose, Houdini, Jester, and Flamethrower) (Left to Right: Center Stage, Caitlin Rose, Houdini, Jester, and Flamethrower) A few things I will warn you about these is that if it shatters and falls on your carpet you will get the biggest stain ever! These shadows are oil based if I remember correctly and that made it harder to clean. Lastly, because they are oil based they will crease if you don't prime your eyes. I like to apply an eye primer, base, and set everything with powder or a skin tone shadow before applying these shadows on. Well for me its everyday, but for those who don't do that everyday ju

NYX High Voltage Lipsticks

Hey guys!!!! I had been meaning to talk about these products a long time ago, but it was during the time I had no motivation to write. I got 4 NYX High Voltage Lipsticks at New York IMATS in April and I have playing with them ever since. (Left to Right: Twisted, Dahlia, Privileged, and Dirty Talk) (Left to Right: Twisted, Dahlia, Privileged, and Dirty Talk) (Left to Right: Twisted, Dahlia, Privileged, and Dirty Talk) Anytime my lips are having a dry phase I always go to these. These lipsticks are so pigmented as you can see in the swatches. That is just one swipe with each swatch. These are so moisturizing and last about 3-4 without eating or drinking before they start fading. I honestly do not mind reapplying my lipstick if I really love it.  Twisted- I love love this color. I never thought I would be wearing purple lipstick and now that I am can't stop. I have used this one the most out of all of them. This one leaves a stain behind after 3 hours of w

Pixi Natural Brow Duo

Hey guys!!! I have found another holy grail product and I am excited about this one. I saw itsjudytime talk about this product and I liked the way her brows looked and it intrigued me to try the Pixi Natural Brow Duo soooo I did. I got the color Deep Brunette. Honestly I had tried the Anastasia Brow Wiz and I do love it, but I felt like it was kinda expensive for the amount of product it comes with. Although the Pixi product is still kind pricey, $16, you get more product with this one than the Anastasia.  One thing I love about the product is that you get both the brow pencil and the brow gel. You can get a natural brow and a bold brow with this product. I also love that the brow gel is not only waterproof but also tinted so if I am ever in a rush and want to just give my brows a little tint I can. I do advise that you use a decent amount of brow gel because if you use too much your brows will feel hard. I was in search of a brow gel that will keep my br

Glossybox July 2015

Hey guys!! I have decided now that I cancelled Ipsy to try out another subscription box. My future mother in law kept raving about Glossybox so I decided to give it a shot. It is $21 a month. This is honestly my second box just because I didn't get the chance to show you my first one. Laneige Water Sleeping Mask-  As with anything skin care I am hesitant to try this because I am scared that it will break me out. This product is supposed to give you a healthy glowing skin after having it on overnight. It is a Korean brand and it has orange flower, rose, sandalwood, chestnut, and apricot extract. I will one day try this out.  Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm-  I gave this product away just because my lips hate any scented lip balms. I love the fact that this is a more natural lip balm, but sadly it dries up my lips. I did try it out twice and didn't work for me. Kueshi Anticellulite Booster-  This is a great product to have so I can prevent future cellulite. I

Birchbox July 2015 Unboxing

Hey guys!! I almost didn't do this post because I am too late with it and I am starting to get excited for next month's box, but I decided to do it anyways because this was a good month.  amika un.Done Texture Spray-  This spray is a styling spray that gives hair effortless, tousled volume, loads of shine, and a nice scent. I am in love with their dry shampoo so I am excited to try this product out! dr. brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant-  This is an at home treatment for a glowing complexion. This exfoliator is very rough on my skin and I am not a big fan. I have received this before in my Ipsy and I will be giving it to someone else.  Juice Beauty STEM CELLULAR CC Cream-  This product moisturizes, primes, protects, conceals, and gives sheer coverage. I am not sure what to think about this product to be honest. If I use it I probably use it as a primer since I love medium to full coverage. COOLA Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer For Face-  As you kno

Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadow

Hey guys!!! I know it has been a LONG while since I had posted anything, but I was having lack of motivation and a writers block at the same time. I was going to do the Birchbox Unboxing, buuuutttt I tried out a new product yesterday that I fell in love with so much that I had to share with you. Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Iggy Iggy is a beautiful pearlescent green and I didn't just get this eyeshadow because of the color, but because of an anime. Can you guys figure out which one?? The swatch is only ONE swipe! This eyeshadow is so pigmented as you can see you don't need a base. I used one anyways just because I have oily eyelids. What impressed me the most was that when I applied this to my eyes was there was NO FALLOUT!  This color was so beautiful to me that I decided to not add another color on my crease and just blend it out. It blended out like a DREAM! I fell in love with the shadow so much that I even applied it in my lower lash line.
