Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Styling 450° Heat Protect Spray

Hey guys!!! I am changing it up today with a hair product instead of makeup. I had heard great things about the Oscar Blandi hair care line and I been wanting to try for so long. When I saw a deluxe sample of the Dry Styling Heat Protectant Spray on clearance at Kohl's I had to get it!  I have used heat protectant sprays before, but I would always have to wait maybe 10 minutes for it to dry since it would wet my hair bad. Everytime I would run out of time and I have to straighten my hair as soon as possible. Only thing I would hate is that my hair would sizzle everytime and I feel like my hair got damaged everytime it did that. When I heard about this product I didn't believe that a dry heat protectant spray even existed. I had my doubts about this product to be honest. To my surprise when I sprayed it my hair didn't get wet. My hair was still dry after I sprayed it. I am so glad I only have to spray and immediately start straightening my hair. This prod...

Glossybox November 2015

Hey guys!!! It is Glossybox time!! Instead of a long introduction I will just go ahead and get into what I received. Just note that I didn't realize that the pictures were a little blurry and I can't retake because I threw some things away or put away everything and gave a couple away. Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-aging Creme-  It is supposed to help reactivate the skin's own revitalization. I actually gave this to my mom so she could try it and hopefully it will work out.  Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow-  This highly pigmented eyeshadow blends seamlessly allowing you to create endless eye looks. We shall see if it is blendable soon and swatch on the picture. Crabtree & Evelyn LA Source Ultra Moisturizing Hand Therapy-  This hand cream is made up of macadamia nut oil, seaweed and algae extracts, and vitamin E. It also doesn't have mineral oil, parabens, or sulfates. I hope it is as moisturizing as it sounds. Flora.py Floral ...

Play! by Sephora November Box

Hey guys!!! I was on the waiting list for a long time and I got excited when I got the email to finally receive this box. I am mainly receiving this box to get samples of products I been wanting to try or to give as gifts to other people who want to try things out before buying the full size.  The first thing you see when you open it is this book.  When you open it it shows you all the products that comes in the box.   Then the new few pages it explains how to use every individual product. different facts about the product, and really anything you need to know about it.  Now on to the products that I received in the box: Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil-  I received the shade Rhubarb. I found it hilarious that I got this because I just used up the sample of this exact shade and now I have a new one! I love this shade so much I am glad I got this in the box. Buxom Full-On Lip Cream-  I got the shade Dolly. I already...

OFRA Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick

Hey guys!!!! I am going to talk to you guys about another lip product. I have been so behind on all the lip products I have that I have talking about them all at once. I didn't get them all at once by no means haha. Kathleen Lights came out with a liquid lipstick with OFRA Cosmetics and I actually bought that one with my own money, but the other two I got them from Generation beauty. I was excited to try out two other shades from this line. This is my top favorite liquid lipstick line. It is right up top with the Sephora Cream Lip Stain and I have been collecting those colors to be honest. I will be doing an update post on those. I will start with Kathleen Lights shade in Miami Fever. I support Kathleen 100% and when I saw that she was coming out with a shade I had to purchase especially because I been wanting to try this product. Her color is a beautiful color and really reminds me of fall. It is a burnt orange terracotta. I actually love this shade and I a...

Sephora VIB Haul

Hey guys!!! It is that time of year again.....the Sephora VIB Sale!!!! As much as I wanted to go crazy and splurge on everything that I have on my wishlist I didn't because I have a budget. Big things are happening for me soon so I can't spend too much and plus Christmas shopping needs to be done. I only bought things that I needed and maybe one or 2 new things to try out. This haul might be boring, but I still wanted to show you guys. Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm-  I have been trying out other eye creams and I realized that this one has given me better results so I had to repurchase. Beauty Blender-  I had to purchase the beauty blender again because it is the best sponge ever to blend out your foundation. I have to repurchase the mini beauty blender at a later time. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder-  I actually bought the Invisible Loose Setting Powder last VIB Sale, but everyone have been talking about how good t...

Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Palette

Hey guys!!! After trying the Kat Von D Metal Crush eyeshadow in Iggy not only did I buy another shadow, but when I saw her holiday collection I HAD to have it! I got the lipstick set and the palette. The palette is the Mi Vida Loca Remix Palette . If you love color eyeshadows this is for you! I want to start with the packaging.....I am in love with it! She always has the best packaging. Even my fiance was loving the packaging because he is artist and the color wheel caught his eye. Now I only have one negative thing to say about this palette. These shadows are powdery and if you are not careful you can have a lot of fallout. I tap my brush into the shadow and then I tap off the excess product so that way I don't have any fallout. As you can see with the swatches they are super pigmented! All of these were one swipe!! They are so easy to blend out and very easy to work with. Some colors are so pigmented that when I remove my makeup with my makeu...

LOC Love of Color by Tati Complete Lip Set

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of Tati aka GlamLifeGuru??? If not, you have been living under a rock. She recently did a collaboration with Birchbox and came out with some lip products and eyeshadow sticks. Of course I bought some to show my support for one of my fav YouTubers ever. I will be talking about the lip set today.  (First Kiss, Wildest Dreams, Glam Life) (First Kiss, Wildest Dreams, Glam Life) (First Kiss, Wildest Dreams, Glam Life) These lip products are a comfortable matte formula. It lasts all day on my lips, but I do need to reapply after I eat. It doesn't dry out my lips at all which is very important to me. Throughout the day it didn't feel like I had any lip product on my lips at all. To be honest to me it is very comparable to the Maybelline Creamy Matte lipsticks formula which is one of my favorite formulas.  The only issue I had was as always with the nude shade First Kiss. It is too nude for me so I would always need to...

Birchbox November 2015 Unboxing

Hey guys!!! I have been off my schedule because I got busy for a weekend then I got sick and I still am sick. I just went to the doctor today and hopefully soon the sickness will be all gone. I received my Birchbox today and I didn't do a post on it last month so I decided to start with this one. Moroccanoil Hand Cream Fleur d'Oranger-  I was actually excited to see this because first of all it is FULL SIZE! Secondly, I already have this product from Generation Beauty and I am already loving it. I am happy to have this as a backup. This is so moisturizing and I love to use it before bed so it can sink into my skin overnight. It has argan and avocado oils to deeply moisturize. Supergoop! Advanced SPF 37 Anti-Aging Eye Cream-  This helps reduce dark circles, depuffs undereye bags, blocks UV rays, and minimizes lines. I already have a holy grail eye cream that I bought during the Sephora VIB Sale. (which I will show you guys what I got once I get it in the mai...

ELF Makeup Remover Pen

Hey guys!!! This is going to be a quick review. I always used a Q-tip and lotion to remove anything wing liner mistakes or even if shadows went out to far. Then I saw Michelle aka Readysetglamour using the ELF Makeup Remover Pen in a tutorial and I was sold! I needed to buy it! I had heard one negative review about it, but this is my second one and I have never had any issues with it. This actually lasts a long time and for it being $3 it is amazing. This actually has a oily makeup remover in it and it removes makeup very well. Granted I still have to get a Q-tip to remove the makeup remover off, but I would rather use this pen than the Q-tip with lotion. As you can see it has a tip so I can be more precise if I am trying to fix my wing. One thing I do recommend is that after you use it remove all the makeup that got on the tip on a towel so when you use it again that makeup won't get on your face. Overall this is a holy grail product for me. Thanks Michelle f...

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

Hey guys!!! It has been a while since I have spoken about a foundation, but that is only because I tend to steer clear from trying out too many foundations at once. I get scared because I because I break out easily if I am not careful. The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation was getting a lot of hype even from people with oily and sensitive skin. I wanted to try this out because the reviews I saw this looks beautiful on them and very natural on the skin. One thing that intrigued me is that this has coconut water and I was interested to try this out because of that factor. Also it is oil free which is very important to me. This foundation is so amazing for me during the cold winter months. I had been testing out during the summer and by the end of the day my skin was a greasy mess. My skin gets dry during the winter time so this is great to keep my skin moisturized.  I did try it out with different mattifying primers even the Makeup Forever Mattifying primer and i...

Jcat Beauty Triple Crown Baked Shadow

Hey guys!!! I had see Tati aka GlamLifeGuru mentioned the product Jcat Beauty Triple Crown Baked Shadow on her Best under $10 video and I was curious to try them out ever since. I found it at Ulta and I needed $5 to $6 more to complete my $10 limit for the coupon so when I saw this product it was an excuse to get it and try it out! I bought the shade Grape Gelato. When I got home and swatched it I was so impressed. One swipe opacity. I have worn this on my lid, lower lash line, and inner corner. I always use a eye primer and a base with every shadow no matter what so because of my oily lids. This looked more intense with primer and lasted all day. Only problem I had with it was that the color, sometimes not all the time, transferred a little bit on my crease area. I was not surprised especially because I have hooded lids. Other than that I love the formula of these shadows.  I even tried these with the Too Faced Glitter Glue and the intensity of these sha...
