I have been really intrigued lately on mineral makeup. I tried some samples of Bare Minerals and am now interested in it all Haha! So, when I saw this I was really excited to try it out and see if it was good! Let's get into this review and see how I am feeling about it! What They Say: This Brush-On Liquid Mineral Makeup feels feather-light and silky-smooth, while providing ample coverage. The innovative "brush- on" applicator makes it so easy to apply and ensures that you're spreading the liquid foundation properly. No fingers or sponges needed. This air-tight tube with its attached brush makes it convenient to carry and gives you a water-resistant, all-day finish. The formula is actually so unique that your skin looks natural, yet better then naked. FACES Beautiful mineral makeup actually improves the texture of your skin and gives you a more flawless finish. What I Say: I have been SO interested in mineral makeup recently. I always felt that it was just powders that wouldn't give me the coverage I needed. Boy, was I wrong! This mineral foundation comes with 1fl oz and cost $40.00. You also get free shipping on the site with the order of the foundation. They have 3 shades only. One that is for more pink toned skin, one for more yellow toned skin, and one for darker tones. The consistency is really thick and gives great coverage. It does take a while to set and dry on your skin so a good translucent powder works amazing with this product! It does stay on the skin for a long time. I have oily skin and this did make me a bit more oily than normal but with the setting powder is really locked in and lasted all day. I love the how easy it is to use without making a mess. You take the cap off and click it to ON and the foundation comes out through the middle of the brush. Its a really dense brush so it makes the foundation go on smoothly and evenly without lines or patches. I did not break out from this and had no reactions to my skin while using it. Its really creamy and easy to blend as well! Not to mention the packaging is adorable with the pink!

Contour kits are all the rage right now and I have yet to get any of the "high end" ones. I only have one other contour kit so when I had the chance to review this, I jumped on it! Let's get into this review and see how I like this! What They Say: 6 Color powder Features: 100% Brand new 6 full color palette! An extensive range of 6 color face powder ensures the best skin color match even when a heavy application is required, guaranteeing a traceless, natural finish! The light color is suitable for redness, acne and so on. The medium color is perfect for dark shadows in the under-eye area. The dark color provides exceptional camouflage and adheres well to the skin. It is also suitable to use as bronzer. Specifications: Case's size: 23 x 15.5 x 1 cm / 9 x 6 x 0.4 inch Case's color: Black Case Material: Plastic Package include: Pro 6 colors face power foundation palette #01 What I Say: I was so excited to get my hands on a contour kit! I only have the Gorgeous Cosmetics one. I have not bit the bullet yet and went for the more high end ones just yet. So, when I saw the chance to review this one by Goege, I jumped on the opportunity. This palette comes in a fairly thin black plastic case. Its not cheap feeling but not super bulky and heavy either. There are no markings what so ever on the case. When you open it up there is also no mirror. It comes with 6 shades ranging from the lightest to the darkest. There is a white, a banana tone, a flesh tone, a more peachy tone, a light bronzer and more darker bronzer. The formulation is good on these. They are a little powdery but blend with ease. The bronzer shades are not muddy or patchy and really blend well if you use them to contour or to just bronze up your face. The white shade I personally use as a shadow base but the banana shade I use to set my under eye concealer with and its really been doing a great job! It leaves my under eyes soft and not cakey. It also brightens up my under eyes and makes me look more awake. I have a weird obsession with the two middle shades that are flesh and peachy toned. I can use them as a light contour or bronzer or as a transition shade for my eyes or even as a blush depending on what shades I used for my eye makeup. The middle shades have so many uses for me and I absolutely love them. The bronzers as well can be used for eyeshadow, any of them really. They are all matte; none of them are shimmery. They also come with a lot more product in them than regular contour kits so its an awesome deal! I really like this palette and highly recommend them!

I absolutely LOVE skin care and any kind of treatments that can help me look my best. This is my first time using anything from Christie Brinkley's line and I am so excited to tell you all about it! Let's get into this review and see how I feel about it! What They Say: Product Description: Get camera ready in a flash! An instant treatment that tightens the look of skin while firming and smoothing the appearance of crow's feet, fine lines, and wrinkles. Use around eyes, mouth and on forehead to erase years from your appearance. Eliminates the appearance of wrinkles by visibly restoring skin to its natural, smooth state instantly! Just a touch to eye, frown and smile lines, and the formula helps eliminate the appearance of wrinkles, so you look years younger in minutes and it will last for hours! Benefits: Immediate sensation of tighter and smoother-looking skin. Potent formula maximizes anti-wrinkle effects. Smooth under-eye bags and puffiness. Tightens skin on contact and takes years off appearance. Lasts for hours and can be reapplied throughout the day. Will wash off easily with water and no make-up remover required. Breakthrough discovery that tightens skin on contact to take years off appearance. About the Product
What I Say: It's very hard these days to find something like this treatment that actually works. I am a very impatient person so when I see something that says it works in moments, I can be quite skeptical. I have never used anything from the Christie Brinkley line and was really excited to try it out and see how it worked! This treatment claims to immediately tighten and smooth your skin in minutes, smooth your under eye bags and puffiness,and tighten the skin on contact and take years off your appearance. It also claims that it lasts for hours and can be reapplied when needed. I was skeptical but still very excited to try something like this. It says you can use it around your mouth, your eyes, and your forehead. You rub in circular motions and then press it to set it and your all set! So, I did exactly that! There is no type of sensation when you apply this to your face. No burning, cooling, nothing. Its just a light cream formula and it goes on very smoothly and sinks right in. I have the most wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes and I have a huge issue with puffiness around my eyes as well. This product worked extremely well for reducing those lines and puffiness. I was honestly amazed and shocked! I have been trying everything, skincare, pore fillers, everything to try to eliminate the wrinkles I have there and nothing has worked. With this product, they aren't completely gone but they are so greatly reduced that you see the difference immediately. When I apply my foundation on top of it (after its dried), my foundation doesn't fall into the wrinkles anymore and my foundation looks flawless. You do have to make sure you also press your foundation into your skin, especially where you applied the treatment and set it or it can break up your foundation. If you set it right though, it gives you the most flawless, porcelain like look to your skin. I have serious bags under my eyes and this instantly tightened them and that right there made me look so much younger and feel so good about myself. I've been searching FOREVER for something that works instantly like this for my bags and forehead wrinkles. Skin care is always great for long term improvements or management but this treatment gives you that RIGHT NOW that a lot of us need. My skin had no reactions to this what so ever. I didn't break out, i didnt have any weird bumps or rashes. Nothing. It almost feels like a moisturizer but on steroids! Haha (there are NO steroids in this product). I absolutely love this, I just wish it came in a much bigger size! I will continue to use this and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who needs that RIGHT NOW effect as well. This will become your best friend, all Holy Grail! Where To Purchase: http://bit.ly/1zl4w1f Powered by iFabbo

I am used to the Real Technique Blending Sponge but, when I saw this, I REALLY wanted to review it and see if it was comparable or better than that! Let's get into this review and see how I liked it! What They Say: Our premium Rosa Red makeup blender beauty sponges are made from the highest quality materials we could find. No expense was spared in the making as we wanted to provide the most superior makeup sponge we could offer. It has a curved surface which helps contour hard to reach spots of the face and will not absorb too much makeup preventing waste and helping your makeup products last longer.
What I Say: I have only ever had really cheap beauty sponges from places like Big Lots or the Real Technique sponges. I really like the Real Technique ones but when I saw this, I really wanted to try it out and see if it was comparable or better than the Real Technique ones. I can say, with great certainty, that the JGOB sponges are SO much better than the Real Technique sponges. I've felt and tried out a true Beauty Blender before and these sponges feel EXACTLY like those. Only those are $18-20 sometimes more. This one is a bit cheaper and is the exact same thing. Its softer than the Real Technique sponge as well and applies the makeup so much more evenly. It doesnt take as long to blend out foundation or concealer with it. The egg shape is so much better for getting those hard to reach spots. I use the more flat bottom side to blend on my foundation and then I use the more pointed end to blend out my under eye concealer and and other hard to reach spots. I Always clean it after every use as well. The one thing I noticed the biggest difference with this sponge is how easy it is to get it completely clean after each use and how it does NOT tear no matter how many times you wash it. Other sponges I have had eventually get little tears in them from washing or my nails. That has not happened with this sponge at all and it always comes out completely clean when I wash it. Another thing I love is that it comes with a travel case. I appreciate tht SO much. The travel case has an air filter at the top of it so you do not have to worry about using the sponge and putting it in the travel case and it getting moldy or not drying out again. Its also great that I wont lose the sponge while traveling or get dirt and other particles on the sponge while its in a bag or purse. I have yet to find anything wrong with this sponge and it has quickly become my favorite one I have ever used. I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out if you are a Beauty Blender user and its getting expensive or if you've been wanting to try the Beauty Blender but haven't yet because of the price. This is a great way to try it out, a bit cheaper!! Where To Purchase: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WVEKWHO Here is a demo of me using the sponge on my YouTube channel!

I LOVE under eye patches and I also have loved using skin care products infused with 24K gold as well! So, I was excited to get this to review! Let's get into it and see how I felt about them! What They Say: 100% Gold Collagen Eye Mask – Diminishes Dark Circles and Puffiness Under Eyes Our gold collagen eye mask is tailor made to instantly give a cooling, refreshing and tightening feeling to tired puffy eyes. Increases elasticity of eye contour while reducing under eye bags and dark circles. Safe for sencetive skin - Most of us are very picky about what we put on our skin. This mask is made without any Parabens, alcohol or dyes. The eye mask will not irritate the skin or clog the pores and is suitable for all skin types. You might not have the time or money to go to the spa every week, but now you can pamper yourself with this luxurious spa like treatment in the comfort of your own home. Appear to have a glow after just 20 min. of relaxing with these gems on your eyes. There is no mess to clean. Very easy to use and perfect to do the day of your wedding or big event. What I Say: I was so excited to get these and try them out. I love under eye patches and anything with 24K gold in it! I have horrible dark circles and puffiness around my eyes and I was really intrigued to see if these would work for me. You get 8 pairs of patches in each package. They also send you a card thanking you for your purchase and they tell you a little bit about their company and leave you with a support link if you have any questions. I really like that because they make it easy to contact them if you need help or have questions about the product. The eye patches come in a very tightly sealed package but they are not hard to open. The patches are very watery and slippery so you have to be careful and maybe open them over a sink or counter top. The patches themselves are slippery and almost have a jelly like feel to them. When I put them on they were VERY cooling to the skin. I used them at night and in the morning because in the morning my eyes are super puffy and at night my dark circles are horrible. I didn't notice much of a difference with the dark circles but, it helped my puffiness so much! It was a life saver! My only issue with the product is it is so slippery that you can't really stand up and move around while you have them on. I found that if i was not laying down, the patches would slide off my face at some point. So, I use that 15 min to lay down, relax, and wait. Once I am done, my under eyes are not puffy at all and they feel so hydrated and smooth! I rub in the excess liquid under my eye and start my normal skincare for the day or night. I really like these and find them a nice treat at night time or a quick way to relieve my puffy eyes in the morning! I highly recommend trying these out if you suffer from horrible puffy eyes in the morning!

I have more skin care to review for you all today! I love trying out new serums and finding amazing items for you all to use! Let's get into this review and see what I am thinking of this serum!
What They Say:
High-end technology brings you the anti-aging solution that regenerates your skin cells and provides the moisture your skin needs to look and feel young and smooth. The highest quality of Swiss Hyaluronic acid serum, complemented by natural ingredients and enriched with vitamin C, brings the elasticity back to your skin, making it look and feel youthful and smooth. Watch this revolutionary serum reverse the signs of agings while protecting your skin from free radicals.
What I Say: I absolutely LOVE the packaging on this serum. Its also on the smaller side, 0.5 fl oz, and sets nicely on my vanity with my other skin care without over crowding my vanity. The packaging looks very classy with a clear frosted glass and gold writing and cap. It has a dropper versus a pump or spray. It is more concentrated so you do not need as much as normal serums and the dropper allows you to get the right amount without wasting product. The product is clear and almost has a thin gel like consistency. You apply several drops on your face and massage it in until it dries. It does sink into the skin very quickly and leaves my face feeling so good! The serum has hyaluronic acid which will tone, smooth, and rejuvenate your skin. As we age, our body slowly stops producing the acids we need to get our skin young and healthy. This serum is amazing at boosting that and helping the process. It also has vitamin c in it which i personally love. The vitamin c will help combat damage done to the skin from UV exposure and will help with fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes serums or skin care in general that has vitamin c in it can make you break out at first because of the cleansing properties in it but, this serum did not break me out at all! I had absolutely NO reactions to this product. This is one of the skincare products that you feel working instantly and i really appreciate that! I highly recommend checking out this product!

I love masks and this one is so universal I HAD to try it out! Let's get into this review and see how I liked it!! What They Say: Learn About the Brand Zakia's Morocco was created by the co-founder, Zakia Mejdoubi-Haman. Zakia's native country of Morocco is well known for the art of the Hammam and Oriental beauty treatments. Zakia has always sought natural products and knew the unique benefits of Argan Oil, Moroccan Black Soap, Ghassoul Clay should become more available internationally. We work superior quality craftsmen to provide products that are safe to use, safe for the environment and even provide social benefits. By supporting Zakia's Morocco, you are helping empower women, protecting the Argan forest, while preserving your wellness. Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask - A weekly mask with natural and organic clay from deep inside the Ancient Atlas Mountains of Morocco are the perfect skin treatment for cleaning, detoxifying, toning and rejuvenating. A facial mask treatment made from Ghassoul clay can be relaxing and give your skin a new healthy glow. Ghassoul clay's most impressive properties in skin improvement are its capacity of absorption and adsorption due to its high level of ion exchange. Ghassoul is a mineral rich, light brown clay that blends extremely well with water making its application to the face and skin a smooth and delightful experience. Use on skin and hair - it even makes for a fabulous shampoo; mix a small amount of powder in your favorite shampoo - wash and rinse. Super cleansing! What I Say: Now, this mask is really something special. You can always buy masks that are specifically made for your face, or your hair, or your body. This mask however, can be used on every inch of your body at the same time! It is 100% pure, natural clay mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It has absolutely no smell to it at all. The first way you can use it is as a normal face mask. You just mix one large tablespoon with 5 tablespoons of lukewarm water until it is the consistency of thin cookie dough. You then apply it to your face and let it dry for up to 10 minutes and then rinse it off. When I used it like this it was so smooth going on. It doesnt have an weird smells or chunks of anything in it. It was super easy to mix and didn't make a mess. It rinsed easily out of the bowl and my face when I was done. The next way you can use it is in your hair! Its been used to deep clean your hair and scalp by many for years! It removes excess oil build up, treats split ends, and generally improves the health of your scalp and hair. They have two ways you can use this mask in your hair. You can mix it in a bowl just like you would for the face mask. Then you just gently rub it into the scalp and hair and leave on for 5-10 minutes. After that, you just shampoo your hair and rinse! I also used it like this and found it so amazing! Its thick and goes into your hair very easily. It doesnt burn or itch and like I said earlier, there is no smell so you do not need to worry about your hair smelling weird. It is also VERY easy to rinse out of your hair. Your not standing there for hours trying to get cement out of your hair! The second way you can use this on your hair is by mixing it with your favorite shampoo. You take a palm size amount of shampoo, pour an equal amount of the mask powder and just shampoo your hair as you normally would and rinse it out. My husband tried it this way and he really likes how easy it was to use that way. If your in a hurry but want to use the product, you can use it this way and it takes minutes and your done! The final way you can use this is all over your whole body. If you have the time you can literally put this mask all over every inch of your body. You will need approximately 3/4 of the 8.8 oz. jar! Just mix it like you normally would and apply it everywhere you want to use it. Wait 10-15 minutes and jump in the shower! I really appreciate that this mask is this universal. I had no reactions to it what so ever and it left my skin and hair feeling so soft. My hair was shiny and healthy looking and manageable. It helped clear up some skin issues my husband and I have been having as well. This mask is definitely a keeper in our home now. I would HIGHLY recommend checking them out and getting this mask!

This is like two of my favorite things put together! I absolutely love scrubs and anything with dead sea minerals in it! Let's get into this review and see if I liked it! What They Say: About the Product THE SEA SALT BODY SCRUB: Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin Function. Great Exfoliator and Moisturizer. THE BENEFITS: Fine Grain Dead Sea Salts Exfoliate the Top Layer of Dead Skin Cells to Reveal a New Younger Looking Layer of Radiant Skin. Deeply Moisturizing Oils Infuse Skin With Luxurious Hydration that Lasts All Day Works Great in The Shower or Bath - Also a Great Hand Exfoliator to use in the Sink or Foot Scrub What I Say: I have tried Adovia products before. I've tried the bath soap and their mud mask and I absolutely loved them! This product is NO different! Actually, I think this scrub may be my favorite thing so far that I have tried from the brand. The smell is BEYOND amazing. The scent on the container says Ocean Breeze and it really smells exactly like it says. The smell is fresh but also has a salt smell that really reminds me of the beach. My husband even really liked the smell and used it because of the smell. The scrub is made with real dead sea salt. Its 100% pure and genuine. The purpose of scrubs is to exfoliate the top layer of your skin where there are a build up of dead skin cells to show a new, healthier looking skin. I've noticed that a lot of scrubs have a lot of cream in them and then have chunkier exfoliates in them. This scrub isnt like that. This scrub has a light oil and then its nothing but the dead sea salts and it really gets every inch of your skin. The scrubs that have bigger exfoliates in them always make me feel like they miss spots on my body and this scrub really made me feel like it got every single inch of my skin. I used the scrub on my arms and legs before self tanning and made sure to get around my elbows and knees and ankles with it. It made those parts of my body SO smooth and silky feeling. I love the oil thats in it as well. Like i said earlier, most scrubs have creams and then the exfoliates. This has an oil mixed with the exfoliates so its a bit different. The oil really works so well at moisturizer your skin and leaving it moisturized all day. My only warning is that if you use to much in the shower, the shower floor can become slippery so make sure you are careful if you use this in the shower! I love this scrub so much I want a years supply of it! I love scrubs in general but this one is truly different than the rest and works so amazingly! I would highly recommend getting it and seeing for yourself how truly awesome it is! You will fall in LOVE with the smell!! Where To Purchase: http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Sea-Salt-Body-Scrub/dp/B00KQWBJ5W/ref=sr_1_25?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1431200726&sr=1-25&keywords=body+scrub Website: http://www.cleopatraschoice.com/adovia-salt-scrub-ocean.html Powered by BrandBacker  I was so intrigued about these when I saw them! I have never used oxygen eye masks before! I was super excited to see how they worked! Let's get into this review and see how I liked them!

What I Say: I absolutely LOVE these eye masks! You can wear them for up to 8 hours so I wear them over night while im sleeping. You just peel off the backing and apply them under your eye. They are like a jelly consistency and feel so cooling and smooth on your eye. They do not burn or itch or cause any kind of irritation under your eyes. They are easy to apply and do not fall off easily at all. Ive been using them for a while now and I have noticed such a difference with my dark circles! They are not as purple as they used to be. I used to have such dark circles that in the morning it looked like I had two black eyes. Now, I only have tiny spots up close to my nose that are red and they seem to be fading as well! This is a quality product that really works and it is a god send! I had yet to find a product that truly did anything for my dark circles until using this product! They are completely worth the price and I would highly recommend getting them if you have really dark under eye circles! Especially for us women who don't want to have to cake on concealer or foundation to try to cover them! This is an amazing way to get free from the dark circles! Not only does it work but, its easy to use. Just apply them at night, and go to sleep! They do not test on animals which is a HUGE plus in my eyes! They are made locally in the USA and they are suitable for ALL skin types! It cant get much easier than that! Try them today before they sell out!!

I LOVE mud masks so much! I have never used an anti aging peptide mud mask before though. So, I was very intrigued to see how I would like this! Let's get into the review and see how I felt about it! What They Say: Experience our extra strength VIA Cosmedics UltraMud facial mask treatment for women, men, and teens of all ages and various skin types. Not recommended for extra sensitive skin. We are interested in quality bloggers to review our product and also write a review on Amazon.com and our VIA website.
What I Say: I absolutely love the packaging on this mud mask! It looks so well made and expensive even though its super affordable! The first thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the smell of the mask. It has a very refreshing menthol smell to it. It almost smells jut like Vicks Vapor Rub and I love that! The mud itself is SO smooth and rich. I absolutely love it! Some mud masks have clumps in them or are just clumpy in general and this mud mask is NOT like that. The mud is super smooth and thick and goes on so nicely to the skin. It has a cooling effect on the skin right away that lasts while it dries. I really like that because then I know its working well! The masks washes off super easy as well which was such a nice thing because some mud masks are so hard to get off you have to scrub your face and your face can get irritated from it. That did not happen with this mask. My face was not red or irritated from the mask either. Some masks that having that cooling or tingling sensation can cause your face to be beat red after and this didnt do that either. I had no irritation or redness or break outs with this mask. It left my face feeling so smooth and clean and bright. I definitely loved this and would recommend it to anyone! Where To Buy: https://www.viacosmedics.com/product/ultramud/ Powered by Tomoson |
