YSL VoxBox

Hey guys!!! I have received yet another box complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes and I am excited for this one because it is another YSL product, but this time it is a makeup product. It is one of the new correctors that recently came out. I received the Green corrector. The product is called the YSL TOUCHE ECLAT Neutralizer . This couldn't come at a more perfect time because I am dealing with lots of acne scarring and redness right now. I will hopefully not have any by the time summer, but that's not what this post is about.....on to the review.... This is very pigmented and blends out very easily on the skin. I love to blend it out with either a brush or a beauty blender. With the beauty blender it sheers the product out and with a brush you get more coverage.  It conceals my redness amazingly once I apply foundation and concealer of course and it lasts all day on the skin. It is very lightweight so it doesn't get cakey once you

Birchbox February 2016 Unboxing

Hey guys!!! Now to show you guys what I got in my Birchbox this month. Let's get right into it! SkinClinical Extreme Healing Repair Concentrate-  This is a paraben-free cream that treats severely dry, sensitive, itchy, wounded or chapped skin. My hands are always so dry because I wash my hands 10,000 times a day so this will be put to good use. It almost reminds me of my holy grail First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream so we shall see. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm-  This is a moisturizing lip balm with a hint of color. I will try this once and I will see if my lips agree to this. I have tried so many and 98% of the time doesn't work and dries my lips out bad. Marcelle NewAge 8 in 1 Power Serum-  This lightweight anti-aging gel starts to work in one week. It provides 8 transformative benefits in one tube. As amazing as this sounds I will not be using this because I am on a strict skin care regimen with my dermatologist. I will be removing skin care from my

February 2016 Play! By Sephora

Hey guys!!! It is time for my Sephora Play! Box!!! It is a great box for you to get if you want to try things out from Sephora before actually getting a full size from there. I definitely wanted to get this box for that reason. You get skin care, hair care, and makeup in this box.  TOM FORD BLACK ORCHID-  I have never tried anything from Tom Ford not even a perfume sample so I am glad to have this. I will probably never buy a full size of this if I end up loving it just because it is very pricey. The notes are black orchid, black truffle, black plum, noir gourmand accord, and patchouli.  MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick-  I got it in the shade N9 and it is a copper pink with a satin finish. This is a very creamy lipstick with a shiny finish. We shall see how I like the formula and the color of this lipstick. Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder-  Now this is a product I am very excited about. This is a powder dry shampoo and I hear awesome reviews about

Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Brushes

Hey guys!!! I have so many brushes in my collection, but I want to chat with you guys about my most favorite brushes. I discovered Luxie Beauty Brushes through Ipsy and I have been using them ever since. I had never heard of this brand till I got it in my Ipsy bag and then that is when I think people spoke about this brand more often. After trying out that 1 brush that I got from Ipsy I really wanted to try out more and when I saw that they were not that expensive for good quality brushes I had to get a few more to test them out.  These brushes are all vegan, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and high quality. These are definitely high quality and are very soft to the touch. They are also all synthetic brushes. One thing that is very interesting to me is that it is coated with antibacterial solution.  These do NOT shed when I wash them and I wash them weekly because I am a big germaphobe and I can't deal with my brushes being dirty for too long.

Sleek Makeup Face Form Contouring & Blush Palette

Hey guys!!! Honestly I am always entering giveaways on YouTube and Instagram aanndd Superashley127 was having one a few months back. I entered like always and when she said I won I was sooo happy because she sent me products from Paris and other places she visited. One brand I can't go get in the store in Texas is Sleek Makeup. I see quite a few YouTubers using the Sleek Face Form Contouring & Blush Palette and I had been wanting to try it out as usual. I was happy to see this product in this giveaway so I started using it as soon as I received the prize.  This is the shade Light. The reason why I wanted to try this product was because of the highlight. OMG you see that swatch? I will say that if you are not careful you will apply too much. I did that once and BAM EXTREME HIGHLIGHT! Don't get me wrong I LOVE a strong highlight, but it was actually too much for me. I recommend a light hand with it. The bronzer in the palette I love the shade. It is

Eyeshadow Junkie Tag Collab with DUDEWHERESMYLIPSTICK

Hey guys!!! I saw LipglossLeslie do the Eyeshadow Junkie Tag and I thought I should do that tag because it was very interesting to me. I also thought maybe I should find someone to do a collaboration with and then we do the tag together.  I am collaborating with DUDEWHERESMYLIPSTICK on instagram and her blog is  http://dudewheresmylipstick.com/ . I found her through instagram and I actually really enjoy her work. She does a lot more than I do and I feel like she does better at explaining herself with her reviews than I do. (I am still not 100% confident in my writing. It is a work in progress)  You guys should totally go check her out if you are interested in reviews for recent makeup releases or even letting you guys know about upcoming releases. Go and check out her blog for this tag as well. I can't wait to see what she came up with. Now on to the Eyeshadow Junkie Tag. Favorite Drugstore Line for Eyeshadows??-   L'OREAL Infallible Eyeshadows . I h

Hey guys!!! I know I have already reviewed the Cream Lip Stain in the past, but I really wanted to do an update on this product just because my collection grew. I love these so much that I just HAD to start to slowly collect them all.  I haven't gotten them all yet, but I did get a good handful of them so I shall show you guys swatches. As you can see I have different shades of this cream lip stain lipsticks and I love every single one so much. I even went out of my comfort zone and got the dark purple shade.  I already had the shade 01 Always Red and I actually am starting to run low on it so I will be getting a new one soon. It is a beautiful classic red and this is my go to red. The newest in my collection is the shade 03 Strawberry Kissed. This one a pretty pinky red and if I don't want a true red I will grab this one. These two would be my going out on a date go to lipsticks or any special occasion. The next one is 12 African Violet. This on

January 2016 Favorites

Hey guys!!! I know I did my yearly favorites so these products won't be new, but I decided to do it anyways because I have been using a couple of products religiously the last two months. Sephora Collection Bronzed and Blushing Face Palette-  I have this product in my project pan and I didn't review this since it was limited edition from 2014 holiday season. These blushes are beautiful and pigmented. They last all day on my skin and blend beautifully. I know they came out with new formula on their blushes. I am sure they are even more amazing than these. L'OREAL Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation-  I was using a different foundation for a while and I realized it broke me out in the end(review coming soon) so I went back to this foundation. It was holy grail status! It would last all day and most importantly it didn't break me out.  NYX Cosmetics Dark Circle Concealer-  This is definitely part of my everyday routine no matter what. Every morning I have huge bag
