Review: Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer

  Hey Guys!,
       I hope you're all having a great day! Today I'm reviewing the Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer. I purchased mine at Sephora for $30.00. I am in the lightest shade, and you get 0.5 Fluid Ounces of product. The main reason I got this product was for pool parties and such. I hate when all of my makeup sweats off and washes right off in the pool. I wore this concealer to a pool party and my face probably went under water 20 times! It stayed where I put it! I know this is a pricey concealer, and I was even hesitant of purchasing it for that reason. But, when you apply it you only need a tiny amount and it will cover a large area. I use it to cover my acne scars, which cover my whole cheek and I need about 1/2 of a pea sized amount for both cheeks. I was talking to a girl that worked at Sephora and I asked her if the Sephora Collection Perfecting Cover Concealer was similar. She said the two were virtually the same product. The only downfall was that the Sephora Collection's color selection was not nearly as good. The Sephora Collection's shades all have a yellowy undertone to them. So. if you have yellow/golden undertones instead of pink I highly recommend checking out the Sephora Perfecting Cover Concealer because it is only $16.00. I hope you liked my review and I included some pictures. Thanks for reading and please follow me!

Look of the Day: Contrasting colors with Winged-Liner

Hey Guys !,
I hope you're all having a fantastic day! For this look, I used purple and green. I used a light shimmery green on the inner corner to open up the eye and brighten it up a bit, and added a medium purple on the outer half of the lid, and applied a deeper plum color in the crease. I then applied a black liner to my lower lash-line, and created a dramatic wing on my upper lash-line. I finished with 2 coats of black mascara. Hope you liked it!

Review: CVS Dissolving Whitening Strips

Hey Guys!,

    I hope you're all having a great day! Today, I went to my local CVS store and purchased these CVS Brand Dissolving Whitening Strips. This cost about $17.00, and you get 56 strips. I ended up liking this product a lot because I didn't experience any sensitivity. I do believe that they brightened up my smile a little bit, and I will continue to use them. These strips dissolve in your mouth about half way after 7 minutes, and after that I would recommend brushing your teeth. They come in a box that looks like this: (I will include multiple pictures of the box, so you can read all of the details.)

These are what the strips look like :

 Here are some pictures of my teeth before I began the whitening process :

This is what it looked like after about 5 minutes, when it really started to dissolve.

Review: Arbonne FC5 Purifying Cleanser + Toner and Oil Absorbing Day Lotion with SPF 20

Hey Guys!,
     Today I'm doing a review on some Arbonne Skin-Care Products. Arbonne Products can be purchased online at https://arbonne.com/shop_online/shopOnline.asp, or with an Online Consultant. I received samples of the Arbonne FC5 Purifying Cleanser + Toner and the FC5 Oil Absorbing Day Lotion with SPF 20 from a family friend who is an Arbonne Consultant.
 
First, the review on the  FC5 Purifying Cleanser + Toner. To the right is a picture of the full size product. You get 4 fluid ounces for $25. I have pretty sensitive, skin, and I really liked this product. I have oily/combination skin. It has a clear liquidy consistency and has a fresh scent. I used it in the shower in the morning and I loved that it had a cooling effect! It tingled on my skin and helped me wake up a little. I felt that it got the excess oil of of my pores and it felt very refreshing. I also liked that the cleanser had a nice lather.



Now, the review on the FC5 Oil Absorbing Day Lotion with SPF 20. To the left is a picture of the full size product. You get 1.7 fliud ounces for $39.50. I used this product after using the Purifying Cleanser + Toner and I liked it. The consistency was a little bit thicker than I thought it would be, because Oil-Absorbing Moisturizers are usually thin and light in consistency. I still liked this product though. I like the fact that it has SPF 20, because I need to wear a sunscreen everyday. It can also be difficult to find a Moisturizer with an SPF that does not appear or feel greasy. This product made my t-zone appear less shiny, and my makeup apply smoother. It's almost like this product has a built in makeup primer.

Overall, I like these Arbonne Skincare products and I would consider purchasing the full-size products. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
    

Review: Dr. Dennis Gross All-In-One Facial Cleanser with Toner

Hey Guys!,
      I hope that you're all having a great day! Today I'm doing a review on the Dr. Dennis Gross All-In-One Facial Cleanser with Toner. It's available at Sephora. The cost is $32, I know this may sound like a lot, But you get 6 fluid ounces for this price. You also don't need much of this product to cleanse your face.
       I really ended up liking this product. I have sensitive skin and I had no bad reactions to it. It took off all of my face makeup, as it claims it can do. Here is what it claims to do. " Save time, money, and steps in your daily routine with this hard-working, deep-cleansing, clean-rinsing formula. A dose of retinyl palmitate (retinol) helps to keep signs of age at bay. Natural witch hazel, chamomile, and vitamin E work to tone and restore the skin, removing pollutants and impurities without stripping. Skin is left feeling fresh, soft, and balanced, never tight or dry." 
      Now, I like this product because it takes off my FACE makeup well. But I did try to use this to remove eye-makeup as well.. big mistake. It burned. I wish this product could also remove eye-makeup, but that would just be too perfect.  One of the reasons I think that this product removed face makeup so well was because it instructs you to massage the product onto a dry face with wet hands. I used this cleanser with my Clarisonic Mia and I thought the two worked well together.
     This product is formulated for all skin-types. I do think this could be used on all skin-types. The box says that if you have dry skin you should massage this into your face for 10 seconds, and 30 seconds for oily skin. The consistency of this product is a thick gel. A little goes a long way.
    Overall, I think this is a good product. I'm not sure if I would re-purchase this though. I would rate it a 2.8 out of 5. Just because it irritated my eyes. Thanks for reading!
