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!

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...

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...
