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!

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...
