Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation Review // Kat Von D Saint & Sinner Palette Eye Look 




*Mediheal Eggy Skin Firming Mask
(September 2017 Facetory)

This mask packaging is so cute! I love that this is a
 firming mask. I've said it before, but I'm all about
firming and anti-aging products. It's never too
early to start prevention! This sheet mask felt
really nice on my skin and left it
glowy and refreshed!

Foundation Review: Marc Jacobs Genius Gel

I bought this a couple months back and have been trying it out ever since. Usually I can wear a foundation 2-3 times and have a pretty good idea of how I like it. This one was different. I was really confused by this all together. The shade range, formula, application, etc. 
I got the shade 10 Ivory Light and it is LIGHT. I've heard that it's the same with their Re(marc)able foundation as well. This is a pricer foundation, so it would be a bummer to have to buy two shades to mix. This shade can work for me during the winter, but it still washes me out! My highlight and contour are both pretty strong today against this. More bronzing would be necessary! When I first applied it I was frustrated at the "gel" formula because It literally looked like I wiped a gel primer on my face and had no coverage. I feel like the more I've worn it, I can see how it gradually starts to show up on the skin after application. It's weird and hard to explain, but that's how it has worked for me. It wore pretty decently through the day, but again has a light-to-medium (more on the light side) coverage. The best my skin has looked with this was on the days where I wasn't having a lot of problematic areas that needed more coverage. If you have pretty clear skin then you might like this!  Is this a foundation I would want to reach for all the time? Not really, but on the days when my skin is pretty clear and I'm not wanting that "full glam face" then I would enjoy this! It feels light-weight and I really do like that! I feel like it would be perfect for the summer-time for those "No Makeup, Makeup Days", but that is where the shade range throws me off once again. 
The more I've read and looked up on this foundation is that it's suppose to be a "better" for your skin foundation. That is a plus, but I  had a hard time finding this foundation on any site! I bought it a few months back. I'm not sure if they were starting to discontinue it or what? I missed that part, but for the few shades that are still out there or if you had seen this on a trading site and was interested I still wanted to leave this review for you. 
Honestly, I give this foundation a 5/10. It's not my favorite, but it's not the worse I have tried either. 
If you were to buy this at full price (I got mine on sale at Sephora at the time), then I would just buy their Re(marc)able instead if I were you!

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...
