Garnier Moisture Bomb

Everyone was raving about all these gel moisturizers and it made me really want to try them. I rarely buy moisturizers because mine either last awhile or I constantly have new samples of them. I got this deluxe sample of this moisture bomb in one of my recent (well, like 3-4 weeks ago) orders and I've been using it since! I don't usually moisturize when I use a sheet mask before applying makeup, but for a day to day use I really enjoy this! You'll be seeing this used more in upcoming looks. Since it's a gel consistency, it isn't thick and sinks right into your skin. I'm definitely wanting to try out more of these gel moisturizers.

Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Setting Powder

I finally took a break from my usual loose powder (Laura Mercier) and branched out to this powder that has been raved about. First of all, I want to just say I love this packaging! I think it's pretty, don't get me wrong, but I'm actually talking about the smart idea of adding a second cover/lid when you open the actual product. It may just be a plastic pop up lid, but this has saved me from so many messes that I normally make with other loose powders. The actual product itself is amazing as well. It makes my skin so soft and flawless looking while doing the job of keeping my makeup in place for the day. I use this all over some days, but most usually I use this under my eyes and my t-zone. I absolutely love baking my under eyes with the Laura Mercier powder (especially when using those messy, fall-out eyeshadows), but I didn't like using this one for "baking" because I end up looking really cakey with a lot of creasing. I've seen others use this for baking, so it may just be me, but a little is more for me when it comes to under the eyes with this powder. I'm happy with this purchase though!

In a recent trip to St. Louis I ran into a Target for a few things and of course ended up in the makeup section.
I only own two other products from Pixi. I have one of their blush/highlight duo (which I do like) and one of their  bronzers in the shade Summertime that I love! I really don't think some of their products are raved about enough! I've been seeing a few beauty influencers using this rose water and green tea setting spray for the skin benefits, but also because they loved the spray as well. I've been trying it out for a few weeks and really enjoy it. Anything that has great skin benefits I'm all for, but I do enjoy this for setting my makeup. I'm more into matte looks at the moment and this spray makes me dewy, but nonetheless I really like this spray. I wish I would've had this for the past spring and summer! The actual mist is fine and light. It won't soak you with one spray and the smell isn't too strong.

Revlon Youth FX Fill & Blur Primer

I was really intrigued by the "blur" part of this primer, but also the actual packaging. I've never used a product with this type of packaging. The product comes out of the four dot opening on the slanted oval rubber top. Instead of twisting it you push the bottom in like a button and the product comes out.
I've honestly been so impressed with this! I can't believe this is a drugstore primer at that! This is a thick consistency, but once applied it sinks right into the skin and really does blur and fill in your pores! This doesn't wear heavy like some silicone primers do. There isn't a smell to this and although it comes out with a little pigment you won't be able to see it after it's applied.

Wet n Wild Photo Focus Concealer 


I know, I know I've been reviewing way too many of their products, but honestly I had a little Wet n Wild "haul" a couple months ago and I've been slowly trying them all out. There are a few pros and cons with this concealer. For one the smell! I don't know what is up with their photo focus line and the strong scents, but I'm not a fan. Unlike their foundation (I'll link my review on it below), this doesn't smell like paint, but it still has such a strong scent that makes me question putting it on my face. The next con is the shades! If you're medium to dark complected than you don't have to worry about this, but if you're pale like me you may be able to match it exactly to your skin-tone. I typically like my concealer to be a shade or two lighter than my foundation. This is the shade Light Ivory and it is my skin-tone or a little darker. Three pros for this concealer is that the wear time is pretty good, the coverage is definitely there, and you once again can't beat their price! So if you're darker than me I would give this a try, but if you are my shade or lighter you could pass on this. Drugstore concealers for fair skin is so hard to come by. I'm okay with spending more $$ to get the best coverage and the right shade of concealer!

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
