Too Faced Primed & Poreless Face Primer

Hey guys!!! I know this review has taken me a while to do, but I had other stuff to post up. I had purchased the  Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings Set  and I have already reviewed the  Chocolate Soleil Bronzer,   Better Than Sex Mascara,  and lastly  Shadow Insurance Eye Primer.  Today is all about the Primed & Poreless Face Primer. I honestly didn't have too much high hopes for this, but surprisingly I love this. This has the same consistency as the Benefit POREfessional , but the difference is this has a little bit of shimmer in it and I don't mind it. I tried the Pixi face primer before and that one waaayyyyy too shimmery for me. This one is more of a subtle shimmer and I like that. I don't have huge pores so I am not sure how it works with pores, but it helps my foundation apply so easily. It helps make my face makeup look so flawless and beautiful. To me it is similar to the Benefit primer and they are the same price range so...

June 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!! This month I was excited to get my bag unlike  last month's  bag. Can we admire this month's bag?? I love it!! It is a Rebecca Minkoff bag!! I will def be using this one!!  Now on to the products. I will start with the worst one. Be A Bombshell Lash Out Mascara I will NOT be putting this on my eyes because it STINKS!!!! It smells sooo bad. I didn't even open it since I wanted to save it for a future giveaway until I saw a video of someone opening their Ipsy bag and smelling it. Nope this will be going in the trash.  RealTree  for her Perfum It is a great deluxe sample size and most importantly I love the smell. I won't repurchase this myself tho because I have too many perfumes haha. Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray This the one product I was really looking forward to, but my hair is super stubborn. Not too many products work on my hair. It smells like coconut. I tried it when my hair was damp and...

Face of the Day!

Hey guys!!! I did another YouTube beauty guru inspired makeup look today! This time around I did a  Amanda Ensing  inspired makeup look. She does amazing tutorials you all should check her out! I started off with putting on the  Too Faced Primed & Poreless Face Primer  on my skin so it can sink into my skin while I do my eye makeup. I put on my  Milani eye primer  and while that sets I lined my water line and tight line with my  Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner  in black of course. I also used the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil  in Milk for some reason I don't know why. Now on to the eyeshadows. I go to my  Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Palette  and i use a light brown on my crease as my transition shade and right after I blend that out I went with a darker brown all over my lid and I blended that out like crazy. Next I decided to use my  Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner  in black to line my upper lash line and do a sm...

Jordana FabuLiner Liquid Eyeliner

Hey guys!!! I been wanting to try the Jordana FabuLiner for the longest time, but because it is so cheap I was very skeptical about this product. I picked it up in the color black from Walgreens for $1.99 and lets just say I was very impressed. This is very pigmented and it is really easy to work with. I am able to do a nice wing with this. I have tried a couple of drugstore liquid eyeliners and this was the easiest to work with by far. I do love the Rimmel liquid eyeliners, but it takes a few tries before you get the hang of it. I am not sure if this product is waterproof, but I haven't had trouble with it smudging or anything. If you are barely getting into makeup and you are on a tight budget this is a great one for you to try. You can only find this at Walgreens or on their website.  Right now their website is having a 25% off sale I saw the sale on  Nouveaucheap's blog . Have you guys tried anything else from this brand?? What do you recommend?? Now ti...

Jane Cosmetics Concealer

Hey guys!! This is my second product that I have to tried from Jane Cosmetics. My first one was the  eye primer  and that has became my holy grail drugstore eye primer Now as for the concealer? It's actually pretty close. This concealer has 3 shades: light, medium, and dark. I picked up the color light! Casey Holmes  reviewed this and she loved it, but of course because she loves it I had to try it out haha. This concealer is a little bit thick, but still creamy and the easiest way to blend it out is with my  Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge.  It gives great coverage and it didn't crease on me at all which I was very surprised. I also used it on my face to highlight it. This concealer lasts all day whether I set it with powder or not which I always set it , but there was one time I didn't because I forgot and it held up well. I will probably get the medium shade so I can use it to spot conceal. I will definitely repurchase this a...

VowVox Box Review

Hey guys!!! I recently received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes and as always I was excited to receive another box. This time around I received the VowVoxBox. Here are the products: Now on to the product reviews. EcoTools Pure Complexion Facial Sponge for Sensitive Skin When you first feel this it feels really hard and I thought it would be really hard on my skin. Once you put it in water it gets really soft and it is very gentle on my skin. I really love this product because I love the way it makes my skin feel. My skin already felt soft after using my cleanser with my hands and using it with this sponge its so smooth. I will definitely be repurchasing this myself. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in 360 Barracuda I am obsessed with nail polish at the moment and of course I was glad to add this to my collection. This was such a gorgeous color and it was 2 coats opacity. I already did my  Nails of the Week ...

Nails of the Week!

Hey guys!!! This week I went with.... Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in 360 Barracuda and... Julep in Shoshanna. The Sally Hansen polish I received it from Influenster this week so I decided to use it right away. I was in the mood for some glitter this week and I love this gold glitter color. The Sally Hansen one is two coats opacity and it has been 3 days since I put it on and no chipping so far. You will probably see this polish again next week just to keep playing with it. Julep was one coat opacity. What nail polish did you guys use this week??

Origins Super Spot Remover Acne Treatment Gel

Hey guys!!!! Before I talk about my new holy grail product I will talk about my bad experience with a different acne spot treatment. I had went into Sephora and someone advised me to try out the Murad acne spot treatment, she didn't give good customer service I won't get into that tho, and she was forcing me to buy it I didn't appreciate that so I went and spoke to someone else. He gave me a sample of it and let me say if you just have blemish proned skin or even have sensitive skin do not go with that product. It is very strong stuff!! It gave me red rashes around the blemishes I had at the time and not even the concealer I had covered it up. My skin was worse than before, but luckily my skin recovered from that. Sadly for me I had to go to work with that mess on my face.  Sorry about that little rant! Now on to the awesome product! My friend Krystelle talks highly about Origins products and I like the idea of natural skin care so why not go see if they had anything...

Mini Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Haul

Hey guys!!! I went into Bath & Body Works today and there was actually still a lot of stuff from their sale I was afraid that it would only be the bad scents left. It was basically one half of their store was on sale. I LOVE their candles, hand soaps, hand sanitizers, and lotions. I have back-up hand sanitizers and lotions from their last Semi-Annual Sale so I didn't need anymore. Now this is what I got.... I know it's not much, but it's okay. The candle was $22.50 and I got it for $10. The soap was $6.50 and I got it for $3.25. I would have gotten more, but I didn't want to carry all of it around the mall. They have lots of stuff for 50%-75% off so just go to the store near you and get yourself some cheap deals from B&BW!!  If you guys have been already what have you guys gotten from the sale??

June 2014 Empties

Hey guys!!! I always enjoy watching empties videos on YouTube for some reason so I decided to do it today. I have used up quite a few products and before I add more to the bag here are the products: Now will I repurchase any of these things or no?? Hmm... Rimmel London Gentle Eye Make Up Remover-  It says this removes waterproof mascara and I am here to say it does NOT remove waterproof mascara. I used to this to remove all of my make up with a cotton round, but now I use something else even better than this. Once I discovered cleansing oils I am never going back. I finished this up by using it to remove swatches. I would NOT repurchase this ever again. Julep Nail Polish in Evelyn-  I had only used this polish once and I wanted to use it for this week so when I grabbed it half of the polish was gone and it is so thick and nasty that the brush broke off as I was opening the polish. What the heck? I don't know what happened. All of my other Julep polishes are ...

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Hey guys!!!! I might be a little late to the ball game, but a couple months ago I saw one of these boxes in my dad's drawer and I wanted to try it out. Sadly there was none left when I looked. Recently I was at Target and I saw them on sale and I took that opportunity and grabbed it. I didn't have high hopes for this to be honest I am not sure why. All of my pores are on my nose so this was a great way to hopefully clean them out. Just in case you didn't know they each come in one of these packets with direction on the back on how to use them. They look like this.  You wet your nose before you put it on and leave it on for 10-15 minutes and when you remove it you see you pores on the strip. I am not going to lie I am always fascinated with how much comes off haha. I did this once a week for 3 weeks and by the 3rd week not much came off. I decided to do every other week or every 2 weeks. I love not seeing black dots all over my nose.  Now if yo...

Nails of the Week!!

Hey guys!!! I had trouble deciding on what to put on my nails this week, but after 5 minutes I finally went with... Julep in the color Farrah and.... Revlon in the color 761 Scandalous. The Julep polish is a pretty purple grayish color. It was two coats opacity and usually the polish last me about 3-4 day without chipping depending on what I am doing. The Revlon polish I used it last week for the first time and I was impressed with it. It lasted 5 days before it finally chipped and that was my fault I was doing laundry and I hit my finger somewhere and for some reason that chipped my nail. I loved it so much I had to use it again this week.  If you wish to try out the Julep polishes it is a subscription for about $19.95 I believe a month. You can get your first box free if you just want to try it out once to see if its worth your money by using the code FREEBOX. Just click  here  and check it out. 

Face of the Day!

Hey guys!! This past weekend I did a makeup look that was inspired by the beautiful Casey Holmes. I was in Sephora and I got lots of compliments that day. I decided to go ahead and write about this look because I loved this look and I didn't even want to take off my makeup.  I always love to start with the eyes whenever I do my makeup because I know I am going to make a mess, I always do no matter what, so that way I can clean it up if needed. I always use a primer so this day I used the  Urban Decay Primer Potion  and then I used the  NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil  in Milk. I primed my face with the  Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer.  Back to the eyes. I used the  ItsJudyTime Eyeshadow Palette . The shadows I used was the first color on the first row on my brow bone, the second color on the first row as a transition shade on my crease, and last I used the first color on the second row as my lid color. I put eye drops on my brush to in...

May 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!!! Sorry this post was late, but I wasn't too excited about this bag which is why I wasn't rushing with this review. Here is my Ipsy bag:  I looked at this bag and thought eeeehhhh not excited about this one at all. Not even the makeup bag... This is just not my style, but my mom likes it so I will be giving it to her. Now on to the products. Jersey Shore Sun Sans Tan Anti-Aging Sunscreen I was not a big fan of this sunscreen. I used it all up, but this made my face and the other people that used all sticky. I was so anxious to get it off my face ASAP when I put this on. I don't recommend this if you don't like sticky sunscreen. Avene Thermal Spring Water I didn't think I was going to enjoy this at all, but I actually do. I use this on my legs after I had shaved and I love how refreshing it makes them feel. You are able to use this to set your makeup when you are done, but I haven't tested that out yet. I will update...
