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 cov...

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 humectan...

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 Co...

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 m...
