LadyPsyche Esthetics & Makeup

Hey guys!!! It is time for my October favorites!! I can't believe that Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, and New Years is right around the corner! I don't have too many favorites this month just because I didn't try out too many new products this month.  Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction - I received this in my September Ipsy bag and I haven't stopped using it since I got it. It leaves my hair feeling so soft and smooth. Also it smells so good and it lingers in my hair. Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation - I recently traveled to New York and I love using this foundation because it lasts all day. I don't ever have to worry that I will come home to half of my makeup faded.  Manna Kadar Cosmetics Sheer Glo - I received this in my August Ipsy bag and I started using it again this month and I honestly love it. I apply this before my foundation on places I apply my highlighter to make it a little more intense.  M...

Hey guys!!! My friend Samantha did a swap with me back in June and she gave me a Stila Countless Color Pigments in Indie. At first when I saw this I was like what is this? I never heard or seen this anywhere. She told me that it is a blush so that is how I started using it. I had never tried anything from Stila Cosmetics so I definitely was excited to receive this. I swirl my brush to use all the colors and the first time I used it I applied way too much! I didn't expect it to be as pigmented as it was to be honest haha. I had clown cheeks, but of course I use my powder brush to blend it out and it was easy to blend out. (Left: heavy swatch Right: one swipe) As you can see it is a pinkish purplish color and I had never tried a blush this color before, but I am glad I did because it opened my mind up to try different color blushes. This product is really shimmery so you don't really need a highlighter on your cheekbones, but I love wearing highlighter ...

Hey guys!! I know I barely showed this in my New York Haul, but I HAVE to tell you all about this brush now. I am sure most of you have heard of the Sigma F35 Tapered Higlighter Brush . I have been wanting that brush so bad, but I can't get myself to pay $24 for a brush. I was looking on the ELF website and I saw they had a new brush that is just like the Sigma one just a lot cheaper.  ELF Studio Small Tapered Brush I wasn't sure what I was going to think when I was about to first use it. I was applying my highlighter with my finger before getting this brush and O...M....G.....WHAT A DIFFERENCE?! This brush applies the highlighter so flawlessly. It blends out the highlighter on your cheekbones like a dream. This brush is also great quality. It feels sooo soft and when I first cleaned this brush there was absolutely no shedding. This brush is now my HOLY GRAIL brush and I can't live without it. I am glad I did not spend $24 on the Sigma one. If you love appl...

Hey guys!!! I wanted to try out another mascara and I decided to try out the L'OREAL Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara . I had heard a lot of good reviews on this mascara and I also heard that this is a dupe to Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara. I bought it in the color Blackest Black in the Waterproof formula. I love the wand to be honest. It coats all of my lashes without any difficulty especially the hard to reach lashes in the inner corner. This is one of the most unique wand I have ever seen. Here is why:  This one bends and a lot of people don't like that, but me personally it didn't bother me at all. When I first applied this mascara I was IMPRESSED! It gave me great volume, length, and my lashes seemed to stay curled on the first time. After almost two months of using it I have my full opinion. I still love this mascara for the most part, BUT I noticed that the curl doesn't stay up right after I apply the mascara. I have to let it dry and I...

Hey guys!!! Time for another empties post! I have used up quite a few products recently and I will be showing you what I used up. I will also be reviewing if I will repurchase them or not and why. TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray - This was an awesome heat protectant spray. It was less than $3 and it leaves my hair feeling soft after I straighten it. I won't repurchase this one just because I love the L'Oreal one better. Batiste Dry Shampoo - I LOVE this product it is my holy grail and I was sad when I ran out. This gives me a little volume and really sucks up all the oils from my hair on my 3rd day hair. I will def repurchase this. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream -  HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! I wash my hands like 10,000 times a day and my hands get really dry so I like to use this every night so my hands can soak up the moisture overnight! I was sad when I ran out especially since I won't be repurchasing right away. I have other ...

Hey guys!!! I have been obsessed with doing my brows. I never thought it was necessary to be honest and once Ipsy sent me an eyebrow pencil I started doing my brows. I can never stop doing them again. If I have full face of makeup I NEED brows done.  In July when I went to New York I went to the ELF Store and I have been wanting to try the ELF Eyebrow Kit ever since I saw Shaaanxo use it on her eyebrows. It was only $3 so I thought why not get it now and try it out? I got it in the shade Dark. I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about this since I have never used powder products on my brows before. I use my  Real Techniques Brow Brush  to apply this. It comes with a wax(the darkest color) and a powder(lighter color). I start with the wax and apply it all over. After that I use the powder to fill in whatever the wax didn't. When I first used this I was surprised with how pigmented this was.  (Left: wax Right: powder) I apologize for the con...

Hey guys!!! Here is a real quick review on a brow mascara. I have been really into doing my eyebrows lately so I am in search of a good brow gel. I was using the ULTA brow gel, but once I ran out I decided to try out ELF Essential Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Mascara especially since it was just $1. I had meant to take a picture when it was brand new, but I traveled right after I got it and didn't have time. This is an amazing brow mascara if you don't have crazy brow hairs. It helps the brow product that I use last longer, but doesn't really help with keeping my crazy brow hairs in place. Another thing is that it really doesn't last long. I haven't had the product 3 weeks yet and I am close to finishing the brow gel side, but then again this was just $1. The Ulta brow gel gave me the exact same results just so you know. I am using the ELF Brow Kit and that review will be next. What are some of you guys favorite brow gel products?? I am in search of my ...

Hey guys!!! I know I am late with this post especially since I already received my October bag, but I had been really busy lately. I was excited to receive the bag after I saw what I was getting on the website. Here is the bag and products: I have a lot of makeup bags thanks to this subscription service, but this one is one of my top favorites that I have received! Now to start with the products inside the bag.  Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction I honestly didn't think I would love this product. It is supposed to moisturize, provide shine, smoothness, softness, UV Protection, manageability,strength, anti-breakage, heat protection, and light hold. First of all it smells really good and secondly I love how soft my hair feels once it is dry and because it does smell good it makes my hair smell good too. It has also helped with breakage of my hair and I will most likely be buying the full size! Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crea...

Hey guys!!! As usual whenever I go to New York I always go into Sephora and splurge. This time I didn't splurge as much just because I was going to New York Comic Con and I needed to save my money for that event. I also got one thing from ELF thanks to my friend Addy and I am excited to try it out. SEPHORA COLLECTION Luster Matte Long-Wear Lip Color - I saw Judy from itsjudytime do a review on this product and ever since I been wanting to try one out. I decided to get out of my comfort zone and get a dark color. I got it in the color Deep Plum. Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix - I already am in love with my Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Pomegranate and when I saw this set I HAD to get it!! This limited edition set has the shades Sable, Rhubard, Pomegranate, and Winterberry. I was also excited to see that I got a back up of my favorite shade!!   Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial - I have been splurging a lot on my skin scare sinc...

Hey guys!! I know I haven't done one of these in a while, but I wasn't in the mood to do my nails or not in the mood to do a nails post. I decided not to do these every week only when my nail color excites me or if I am in the mood haha. I did my toes and this color was so beautiful that I HAD to put it on my fingers. I used Julep nail polish in the color Dahlia. It is a beautiful yellow gold color and I am in love with it. I had this in my collection and I don't remember receiving this one so I never used it. I found it yesterday and I am glad I did. The Julep polishes normally last me about maybe 3-4 days before chipping so hopefully this one will be the same or maybe better. It was 2 coats opacity. Isn't it gorgeous??!  What are some of you guys favorite polishes?? 

Hey guys!!! I was at Target one day and there were a couple of eyeshadow quads on clearance for less than $3 and I picked one up to try out. It is the Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Eyeshadow Quad in State of Grace.  I have never been so disappointed in any eyeshadow palette like I am with this one. Normally I am able to find a way to work with eyeshadows whether I use a primer or primer and a base like for example a maybelline color tattoo or nyx jumbo eye pencil. When I had swatched the colors it looked really promising and I had high hopes for it.  I swatched each color twice and it looks amazing especially the blue and purple shades. I applied it on my eyes with only primer and it didn't look as pigmented as it did on the swatch. Everytime I would blend the colors the color would blend away. I kept adding color to my lid and it kept doing the same thing. I still wore it throughout the day and by the end it looked like I didn't add a purple eyeshadow ...

Hey guys!!! I am not going to start the blog off just like everyone else does so lets just get into it. I am really looking forward to an event I am going to in October and hopefully some cooler weather. What are you guys looking forward to?? Now on to the products I have been loving: Sephora Collection 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation - I have a love hate relationship with this foundation. It doesn't last 10 hours at all, but I do love the finish and how it makes my skin look. I have been using this foundation like crazy since I got it. LORAC PRO Cream Eyeliner - I got it in the color Plum and I love the formula of this eyeliner. It lasts all day, it is easy to work with, and love the color. Maybelline Color Tattoo - I stopped using a base for a while and then when I did the review for these color tattoos I started using my Inked in Pink color tattoo again and I haven't put it down since. I love how long it makes my eyeshadows lasts and how vibrant it makes s...
