Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Hair Cream & Sea Salt Spray

Hey guys!!! My hair..oh my god my hair!! It is a everyday struggle to deal with it whenever I don't straighten it. Even while it's straight I struggle cause of the humidity here in Texas. My hair is poofy with a few waves so I want to find something to lessen the poof and enhance the waves in my hair by making them look more pretty! I went into Ulta and I decided to try this. This does absolutely nothing for me. It does NOT give me any "beachy waves" even if I scrunched up my hair while wet. I was really hoping this would be my product to use so I don't have to use heat on my hair!! Also it made my hair feel a little hard once it dries although I wouldn't mind it if it did what it was supposed to do. I do wonder am I doing something wrong when I put this on?? Do you recommend anything to try for my hair???? Have you tried this product?? Did it give you better results?

Avon Ideal Flawless BB Cream

Hey guys!!!! I used to always use Avon products thanks to my mom especially their liquid eyeliners. I decided to try out a face product from them and I decided to go with their BB cream because I like wearing BB creams to work. I have only used one before this one(review coming soon).  I was hoping to enjoy this BB cream especially since it has SPF 15. I work with kids and sometimes we go outside so I thought this would be perfect for me. This only has a total of 5 shades. Unfortunately this was a total fail for me. It feels very heavy on my skin and it feels sticky on my face. I hate it when foundations and BB creams make my face feel sticky. Also aren't BB creams supposed to be very lightweight?? Secondly, it a really dewy finish. I am not sure if I really like a dewy finish to be honest. All you have to do is powder your face to get rid of most of that dewy look to your skin. The last thing is this actually broke me out like crazy!! I was like oh my god NOOOO!! H...

Jane Cosmetics Eye Primer

Hey guys!!! Time to talk about ANOTHER eye primer!! As most of you know I have oily eyelids and my eyeshadows and liner crease especially on my right eye so I NEED a primer.   Ever since I saw Tati aka GlamLifeGuru  and Casey Holmes  aka itsbl0ndie reviewed the products from this brand I wanted to try it out! I decided to start out with the eye primer and the concealer(review coming soon). You can pick this up at Ulta, in store and online, and on the Jane Cosmetics website for $8.  One day I wore this I was sweating so much and I was afraid that my eye make-up will crease, but when I got home everything was still there. I was really impressed because for some reason I didn't have high hopes for this. The eyeshadows look a little more vibrant with this just like every other primer and it lasts all day for me. This is in competition with my  Milani Eyeshadow Primer  right now and it is also becoming another holy grail primer from the drugstore...

April 2014 Ipsy Bag Review

Hey guys!!! Time to talk about my April Ipsy bag!!! The excitement was real when I received this bag!! Let's take a moment and look at the make-up bag that came this month. Isn't it beautiful??!! I will definitely be using this one while traveling.  Now on to the products that came inside it. City Color White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse  I was disappointed with this and the sad part I was excited to use it! Look at the color!! It's beautiful and its even more beautiful on the lids, BUT it creased on me really bad! Anyone else who received this had that problem??   Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant This has tiny little beads and it is a little rough when you first use it all over your face especially if you are not used to using an exfoliant. It smells like lemon and I rub it all over for 3 minutes then I rinse it off! My skin feels really soft and smooth. I use it once to twice a week and even my mom enjoyed this. Most i...

Nails of the Week!!

Hey guys!!! This week I decided to go with..  Breakfast at.. from Color Club. I received it in my Birchbox this month and I couldn't wait to try it out. It was my first time using this brand and I gotta say I was very impressed with the formula. You only need two coats and it dries quickly!! I would say about 5 minutes it was completely dry and I was able to go wash my hands without the polish messing up. It has been 3 days and still no chipping. If you were thinking about trying out this brand totally check it out! 

First Aid Beauty Review

Hey guys!!! Do you have sensitive skin??? If so, then this product is definitely for you. I decided to get this set so I can see if I love it before I purchased the full sizes. This set was $28! Now to start reviewing the products. First lets start with the face cleanser. Full size: $20    I use it every morning and I gotta say I really enjoyed this cleanser!! The cleanser is "fragrance free, removes surface oils, make-up, dirt and grime" and I agree. It is very gentle on your skin and makes your skin feel really clean and refreshed. The only way I can explain the consistency is that it is kind of like a moisturizer. The last cleanser I was using was a nice one as well, but I started realizing toward the end of it that it really dries my skin out if I didn't moisturize enough.  This one does not dry out my skin at all. I highly recommend this. Facial Radiance Pads Full size 60 pads $30! I received 28 pads in this set and I really like...

Nails of the Week!

Hey guys!!!! This week I wanted to go with something bright and springy so I went with... Julep in the color Princess Grace and.... Julep in the color America. This is my first time trying an orange color on my nails. What do you guys think?? So far every nail polish I have tried from Julep and very pigmented. I like to take my time with this and i put one thin coat and let it dry. Once that dries I do the second thin coat! I don't know why I decided to add the glitter, but I did. What do you guys think? Does it look good or should I have not done it with this color?  Julep is a monthly subscription service for $19.99 you get 2 or 3 polishes a month depending on what you prefer. The great thing about this service is that if you can't afford to pay for it one month or nothing interests you all you have to do is skip the month.  If you want to try it out click:  http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/421151/  and get your first box fr...
