Beauty Product Reviews

Gentle, yet effective!

I love this cleanser! I bought it on a whim at Fresh Market and it turns out to be a wonderful cleanser! I was going through some breakouts and I do believe that this helped lessen and clear them up. It is all natural, which is all I use, and you can really feel it cleanse your skin! It is very gentle on problematic skin and I would definitely recommend giving it a shot.

The Perfect Product!

Ok, so there are so many reason for me to rave about this product! But first I must start with the sole fact that GISELE uses this product!! Hello it must be amazing right?! Haha. Anyway, Rosie Marie Swift is a mua and this is her eco friendly line of makeup that is actually good for your skin! Amaze! This is so creamy and luxurious, oh and did I mention it's not only a concealer but it can also be a light foundation?! Wahoo! I love products that have dual functions! So this stuff actually improves your skin as you use it! This is by far the best concealer out there! You must give it a try!

Volume and Length!

I have recently switched to cleaner products and I got this mascara in my Amazonian Clay Discovery Set from Sephora and I am loving it so far! I haven't experienced any flaking like some of the other girls though! I love how it creates volume and length without being clumpy!

Obsessed!

I have recently gone "green" with all of my skin care and beauty products and I purchased the Lavender 18-in-1 and I fell in love, literally, It says "18-in-1" and ya'll, it really is. I actually used it this morning for my shampoo!! I use it to wash my face occasionally, to loofa my body with it, and best of all it is by far the best makeup cleanser I have ever used! It cleaned my white Sigma brush that has so much residue that would never come off. It is white again! Haha. If you want to start small by greening your routine, I would definitely choose this product to start with! The results are phenomenal!

Love at first swipe!

So I am currently "green-ing" my beauty routine and I recently picked this up. I heard great things about it so I decided I would give it a shot. I purchased the Pink Blossom one, it was the lightest of the pinks. Now, as much as I love that original Burt's Bees lip balm scent, I was hoping these wouldn't smell and be as drying as the original. To my surprise, it wasn't really like it at all! It actually moisturized my lips (I think the original is a bit drying) and created the perfect stain look. It was weightless and gave my lips the perfect shade of pink! Oh and did I mention the color lasts forever??

Box of Love!

As usual this was an impulse purchase but so totally worth it! The woman at Ulta let me purchase these even before they actually put them on the floor! (That is how good of a customer I am) haha anyway the thing about this was it was only $29!! For 4 full size products? Yes please! I had not tried the lash primer, the lip primer, or the pore perfecting primer. My box did not come with the brightening one so I cant comment on that but all the others I will. I am in LOVE with the lash primer! It helps curl my lashes and it is so easy to apply mascara. No flakies! I never thought I would need a lash primer! The lip primer was interesting because I have never used one of those either. It definitely made my lipstick last longer! Loved that as well. As far as the lid primer goes, we all know how amazing that is. The pore perfecting primer I am a little torn on. It doesn't say oil-free so I don't know if it is or not, I don't think so though. I like using oil free primers because I have combo skin. Buuuuut overall it is a great investment I totally love these products! Sorry for the length! Blog review coming soon :)

Great Day Product!

I recently started using this because I loved the Yes To Tomatoes facial moisturizer for combo skin. It really doesn't have a sunscreen smell which I love because no one wants to smell that all day! I do have oily/combo skin and I have found so far it soaks into my skin within ten minutes and doesn't leave an oily residue. I do use a mattifying primer after this because if I didn't my face would probably get oily due to this product not being oil-free. But other than that, I so far love it!

My favorite moisturizer!

I have been using this particular moisturizer from the Yes To Tomatoes brand for over a year now. This is my go-to night face cream. I love how it has the convenient pump so you never get too much in your palm. I use this after my normal skin care routine because it give me that extra boost of moisture my skin needs. It is not oily, greasy, or any of that. The scent is probably my favorite part! It smells very fresh and nice, kind of like vanilla or something! It doesn't linger at all (although sometimes I wish it did!). I am sensitive to most lotions and things that are too smelly! It is almost 100% natural which is amazing!!!! I love the YesTo products because they are high quality, natural, and at affordable prices!

Changed my hair!

One of my friends who is an aesthetician gave me a sample of this and I got hooked. That was almost two years ago! I have repurchased time and time again. Be sure to use a little because it goes a very long way! I actually find it cheaper to buy a giant bottle on eBay and that lasts me at least 6 months. Some people say it is pricey, but for the value and the amount you get I do believe it is worth it! The way I use it is while my hair is still damp I work in a pea-sized amount through the mid-shaft to the ends of my hair. After I blow out, my hair is silky, shiny, and smells delish! I, again, work in a pea sized amount as my "finishing touch". I promise you will not be disappointed!

A class of it's own!

I had purchased a regular sponge applicator at Ulta and used it for a good while. While researching sponges and sponge applicators I came across a thing called the Beautyblender. It looked interesting so I purchased it. OH MY GOD! Did it change the way I put on my foundation! It was so soft and supple on my skin and made my complexion flawless and airbrush-like. The best part about it is that it grows when you wet it! You have to use it wet or else it will be like any other regular sponge. I would highly recommend this to anyone, any skin type!
