Review: L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation


I had this Foundation in my Vanity for at least three or four months now, i bought it, opened it saw the consistency of this foundation and took it right back way deep in the back of my Vanity drawer.
But couple of Days ago i thought i would give it a Try. Sadly i picked up the wrong Shade, i always go for something Ivory or Bright Beige with other Foundations but this one was way too Pink for me. Anyway before i review this, let me tell you that i have Oily / Combination Skin but still more on the Oily Site. Specially during the Summer! This is my personal and honest Opinion, cause as we all know, every product works different on everyone!

Consistency: 
To be honest it has the weirdest texture! Is so "smoothy" just as they named this Product. But at the same time it feels super upper DRY! Its hard to describe, but on my Fingers it felt really really Good! After i checked the Consistency on that one, the first thing that came in to my Mind was the Loreal Magic Perfecting Base Primer, they almost identical even though the Primer from Loreal does not make my Skin as dry as this Foundation!


Packaging:
 It comes in a very pretty Jar (im not a jar person at all), and the Pink Lid actually was another Reason why i bought it. 0,67 FL OZ / 20 ML Im not sure why they say Fluid OZ cause this Product does not feel like Fluid at all...

Coverage:
Sheer, very Light! If you looking into Full Coverage i would not Suggest buying this.

Application: 
I tried this with my F80 from Sigma, but the Brush sucked the Product way too deep in the Brush. So i went ahead and used my Fingers for it. When you apply it to your skin it rolls up into little balls which you have to attempt to blend into your skin ( see picture below ). It sinks into your lines/pores and unfortunately emphasizes these areas. I could see this working for someone with already flawless skin, but if you have any sort of imperfection as i have, i would stay away from it!

Price:
14.99-16.99$ , its very pricey for a drugstore foundation and the very low amount you getting!

Where to purchase: 
Available at all major pharmacies, Target, Walmart.

Would i Repurchase?: 
I would say NO! For someone like me who likes a Full Coverage has Oily / Acnce / Huge Pores Skin its something i would not Recommend. It fills in fine Lines, it makes your Pores visible, it doesnt cover any Imperfections and it just feels so dry on the Skin, specially on dry patches. So I stick to my Liquid Foundations. But if you looking into light coverage, and you have a perfect Skin then this is your Product. It has a Matte Finish so it def would look good on People with perfect Skin!

Review: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum


I saw this at Target, and since i live in Utah & the Water here dries my Hair out and gives them a frizz like nothing else, i thought i would give this Product a try!

Packaging:
This Product comes in a 5.1 FL OZ Pump Bottle.. The Pump is very handy but to be honest i would prefer this Serum in a Sprayer Bottle, just because the Serum is so oily and after you applied it on your Hand and rubbed it on your Hairs, your Hands are Oily as something. The Consistency is not like straight Oily, it def runs slower then lets say Water, but still feels like you would have Oil in your Hand! Same as any other Garnier Fructis Products it smells good.
 
Application: 
I apply this Product to my almost dry Hairs after i wash them. Be careful not to use too much of the Product cause if you do you will have greasy Hairs for sure. I usually use around a Pump and a half for my Hairs. Also dont apply this stuff near your Scalp, if you already have oily Hair like i do, just focus on your Ends & where your Hair is frizzy. All the Rest i just massage in the Rest of the Hair. After all that i proceed to blow dry and style.
 
Would I repurchase?:
I would say yes, it doesnt make my Frizz go away or anything but it makes my Hair feel Healthy and Shiny & just so incredibly smooth!

Where to purchase: 
Available at all major pharmacies, Target, Walmart.

Price:
5.99$

Bath & Body Works Candle & Handsoap Haul

I know this isnt beauty related, but they on my Vanity, lighting up while i do my Makeup, so they def worth a Post! Anyway,  over the Weekend we went out to the Mall. And since Bath & Body Works had an amazing Sale going on i couldnt hold my Hands away from all those goodies, simply to say im addicted to this Store!  Right after you walk in you smell all those good Hand soaps, Lotions, Candles & all the other good Stuff! 


They had their 2 for 20$ Candle Sale (any additional candle 10$), and online there was a 10$ off coupon when you spend 30 or more, so i grabbed 3 & only paid 20$ and thats the price of usually only ONE! So gave me a 40$ Savings =]! 


The Peach Bellini smells really fruity, a lot of citrus fruits i would say & thats exactly what they claim too. The Market Peach smell really intensive and like you would sit on a porch on an old ranch and drink peach ice tea. The Wild Strawberry is my FAVORITE! It smells like CRAZY Wild Strawberry but if it would be mixed with your favorite Fragrance, really pretty. I ♥ those Candles!

Then i went ahead and bought Some Hand soaps cause they even smell better, if theres a better in that Store.. cause everything just smells so delicious & yummy and fruity and yeah i could go on =] They not your regular Hand soaps! Usually when i wash my Hands with any other Hand soap my Hands smell but thats gone as soon they dry, not with those. It leaves you the Scent on your Hands & makes them really smooth! They smell just as they claim to smell, but i def let you smell them yourself, cause in the end we all have different Likes, right? But trust me, you wont regret! Oh by the Way i got a Free Lotion with this Offer, buy 4 hand soaps get a free Hand Lotion, SCORE!


This Post wasnt Sponsered, i bought all Product with my own Money.

Review: Rimmel Glam Eyes HD Eyeshadow Quads


I had them for like 2 Weeks now. I dont tend to reach for them as much as i do with other of my Quads, but they really natural even though they come with lots of Shimmers! The most thing that bothers me is, when you dont have a small Brush then those will be little bit tricky to take the Eyeshadow on your Eye =]

Quad 002 English Oak:

Quad 007 Heart of Gold:

Price: 
$5.99 A Quad, from where i found them!
 
Where to purchase: 
Available at all major pharmacies, Target, Walmart etc. 
 
Would i repurchase?
Im going to get other colors, but i wont repurchase the same colors over and over again, just because there is a tip too much of shimmer in them. But for those who love Shimmer i would def recommend them! If you want them to come out even more use a Eye Shadow Primer! Thanks for reading and i hope this Review was helpful to you =] always always xoxo

Review: SIGMA Synthetic Kabuki Kit


Im really really extra excited to review those! I had them for like 3 Months now and since the Day i got them i could not leave them a Day alone, they just absolutely amazing! Lets get started and btw No one paid me to do this, this is my personal Opinion on them!


This Kit comes with 4 Brushes. Those were my first Sigma Brushes and i def was expecting a lot from them. Everyone seems to brag about them, saying how good, affordable & good Quality they are, and i totally agree with them. I was bummed about the Fact that you can only buy them online and no where else, which sucked for someone impatient like me. All in one i waited 7 Days until they made it in my Hands! They come in a small size Package wrapped, and every Brush has those Brush "foils" over them. My First Impression was like "OMG THEY LOOK FANCY" and they sure are! The first thing I noticed when I purchased them was how soft they were, all four are incredibly dense and I haven't experienced any shedding or fall out in the 3 months I've been using them. Anyway lets talk about every Individuals of those Beautys =] 


Here is what Sigma Beauty says about every one of them:
F80 - Flat Kabuki: Application of liquid or cream products to flat areas of the face such as the forehead and cheeks.
F82 - Round Kabuki: Blend mineral products onto the skin.
F84 - Angled Kabuki: Buff cream blush or bronzer onto the skin.
F86 - Tapered Kabuki: Apply cream and liquid foundations onto the harder to reach contours of the face. 
  
Here are my Opinions:
I bought those, no one is paying me to say good things about them, those are MY PERSONAL Opinions! 

F80 Flat Kabuki :

Like : The F80 is my all time Favorite! If i had to live with one Brush in my Life this would be the one! I never ever had a Brush in my Life that gave me more flawless finish then thise one! I tried a lot of Techniques to apply my Foundation such as a lot of stippling Brushes, finger application, sponge etc. But i finally found the ONE which def is the F80! I have huge Pores, and even though i apply Primer and all kinds of Stuff i always had the Problem that all the other stuff i used to use, just smear it away instead of blending it to my Face! With the F80 Things changed! It glides gently and soft over my Face, i dont feel like i had to rub the something out of my Face to let it stick on my Face and Pores! So what i do First is i apply Foundation directly on the Brush then dip it on my face & after that i move the Brush all around my face in circular motions... All in one it maybe takes me 20 seconds till im finish with applying my Foundation, TIMESAVER!

Dislike: Cleaning/Washing this one! At least twice! (Blog Post about how i clean my Brushes SOON) 

F82 Round Kabuki:

Like : I use this Brush for either Blush as you can see or as a Foundation Brush as well =] they pretty similar only this one is more round shaped! 

 F84 Angled Kabuki: 

Like : This Brush i use for Contouring my Face with matt Bronzer. I do use it as Blush Brush as well at some Days!
Dislike: This Brush might be too big for some Faces.. Depends on your Contouring, how big and wide you contour! 

F86 Tapered Kabuki:

Like : I apply a creme Base Highlighter with this Brush.. it doesnt "suck" up the Product too much, but gives me enough amount for my Face. It makes it look natural and flawless then when i would apply it with my Fingers. LOVE THIS BRUSH! 


Price: 
$56.00 (there is a coupon code offered every month)

Where to purchase: 


Would i Repurchase?:
I know i dont ever would have to cause i bought High Quality Brushes! They dont shed, the Wood is not coming off like cheap brushes would have! I just love the Fact how flawless my Skin looks like! Anyway hope this could help you a little bit on your next Brushes Purchase, trust me they worth their Money! Till next time xoxo

Review: Sally Hansen Creme Hair Remover Kit


Do you have Facial Hair growing? You dont have the Money to get a Laser Treatment? Then you defiantly need to keep reading.. 

Not normal amount of Facial Hair on the Face has a lot of Reasons, mine is that i have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom) so my Hormons are bringing the Extra hair on the face and body. There are other Causes & Reasons why we have Facial Hair click HERE to find out why!

I dont have as much Facial Hair Grow Problem as others, but its still there. I never ever waxed my Face, shaved or anything like that, but these last few Weeks they really annoyed me specially after i applied Foundation and sprayed my fix mist on my Face, the Hairs all stood up like it was WAR Time! Thats when i knew i had to do something. So i youtubed a lot! Saw a lot of Things & Products how to get rid of it. First i thought why just dont shave them? Simply because they grow back in way faster & thicker! 
SO i went to Target this Morning and found this Product from Hally Hanson!

Application: 
Before i used this Product i made sure that i read the Instructions, i just didnt wanted to mess up my Face by doing wrong Steps. It didnt say anything about a Clean Face, but i made sure that i had no Makeup on my Face and no other Products ect. So i put a Pea Size of the Hair Remover Creme on my Hand and then gently applied it on my Face. Make sure it doesnt come on your Lips, cause it will dry them out BAD, also dont apply it on your eye brows or actuall Hair!!!! The hair remover process takes 3 - 10 minutes to set in depending on your hair type and density. All in one i applied it three Times cause after every Time i took the whole Cream down there were still Hairs. One thing i didnt liked about this Creme was the Fact then as soon as you put it down your Skin starts burning, not to the point i would cry :) but it was def a burning there! But the good thing was that my Skin felt really smooth. Right after i washed my Face with warm Water, i applied the Lotion Creme that it came with it, and first my Skin burned even more but like after 5 minutes, it felt really good to have that Creme on my Face, it calms the Burning down a lot!


Packaging:
This Kit comes with the Hair Remover Creme (2.4 OZ 68g), a aftercare Lotion (0.5fl oz 14.7ml) which is really "runny" not as Water but it almost felt like a Gel! I would say it would last you up to 4 uses! he bottle came with a convenient airtight pump and they added an applicator unto which you can squeeze the product. 


Scent:  
The Remover Creme has some sort of a Alcohol Scent and a weird Like Hair Bleach Smell i would say? The Aftercare Lotion does smell good though!
 
Price: 
 I paid 5.65$ at Target, there is a 2$ Coupon online right now though!
 
Where to purchase: 
Available at all major pharmacies, Target, Walmart. 

Would i Repurchase?:
I would say yes, even though it burned a lot after i took the Cream down, i would def repurchase it. Simply because of the Fact that its really affordable and it does its Job! And it didnt break me out or left my Face red like a Tomoto, cause that was the only Thing i was really afraid of, cause my skin tends to be very Sensitive. I hope this Review helped a little Bit for your possible future hair removal procedure.

UPDATE:
A Day after my Skin finally feels normal! The Day i applied it my Skin felt like someone rubbed a rock on my Skin, to be honest i havent felt like it was my Skin on me.. Weird as it sounds! I had to reapply other Moisturizer at least 3 Times during the Day cause it dried my Skin out SO BAD! Today i feel like nothing happend yesterday, so im good to go =] I will keep you uptodate on when i have to do this again.

 Remember your Skin might react different then mine did, check the Ingredients first, cause you might react way different!
