Wet n Wild - Fergie Collection

Hello Everyone!

 

As most of you may know by now, Wet n Wild released the Fergie cosmetics collection. The range includes lipsticks to eyeshadows and everything in between. Since I already love Wet n Wild I decided to try a couple products from this collection and see how I liked them.

The Wet n Wild Fergie lipsticks are all a creme formula. There are ten different shades that range from nude to a blackish color. I opted for two colors that I normally wouldn't go for, but thought might look nice. Old School Glam is an dark orange shade while Fuchsianista is a fuchsia color with a hint of metallic blue/purple. These colors are absolutely beautiful. They are extremely pigmented and super creamy. They feel amazing on the lips due to the vitamins and minerals to keep lips soft, smooth, and kissable all day. What I love most about these lipsticks are long they last. They tend to lightly stain the lips and you only need one application to last most of the day. There is no taste or smell which I enjoy very much.

 

Price: $3.49

 

When it came to the eyeshadow palettes I went with the one that had more colors I would wear more often. These palettes are available in four different combinations of which I chose Desert Festival.In this palette there are two mattes, two shimmery and one shimmery/glitter shades. The lightest shade is a Cappuccino-Champagne shimmery color that I love so much all over the lid. Beside that one is a matte orange color that I haven't been brave enough to try just yet. Then there is a beautiful gold shimmery shade. Next to that one is a black shade with a hint of gold shimmer/sparkle. In the center of the palette is a matte dark brown shade for the outer "V" of your eyelid. These eyeshadows are super pigmented and creamy. They are easy to blend and don't crease or flake. They last such a long time and have a satin-smooth finish to them.

 

Price: $4.99

 

Overall I have very much enjoyed this collection and look forward to trying different colors and products.

 

Hope you enjoyed this review :)

Garnier Fructis Volume Extend

Hello Everyone!

 

When I first tried this product I didn't think much of it. I thought it was an okay product that I wasn't too sure if I would repurchase. It wasn't until I stopped using it that I realized how much I really loved this product and wanted to keep using.

 

Garnier Fructis Volume Extend Instant Bodifier Dry Shampoo

 

I tend to stay away from dry shampoos since I wash my hair everyday and have no need for them. What drew me into this particular product was how it emphasized that it would give volume. I have very long hair which tends to get weighed down and flat. Whenever a product claims to give volume I have to try it out.

 

As you may have already guessed this is a spray dry shampoo as opposed to the powder ones. I much prefer these since it is much quicker and since I don't really use if for dry shampoo purposes. I love how this sprays out of the bottle. It is very similar to a hairspray but a bit stronger spray. One of the things that I enjoy most about this product is the smell. It has a very pleasant citrus smell that isn't too strong and chemical-like. It is the type of smell that I don't mind my hair having throughout the day. I tend to get headaches from products that smell too strong and linger around.

 

This sprays out clear-ish. Now if you apply too much to an area or too close to the hair then it will get a light hint of white but it quickly can be fixed. I would suggest using a little bit since a little goes a long way with my hair. I get so much volume from this dry shampoo that I use it every single day. I style my hair as usual and then I will spray this in small sections at the top of my head. I will just run my fingers through or flip my hair upside down and done. My hair goes from completely flat to full of volume. Now that I know how much I love this, I plan on repurchasing it over and over again.

 

Hope you enjoyed this review :)

Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray

Hello Everyone!

 

I am very lazy when it comes to my hair. I don't like to spend too much time styling it so sea salt sprays instantly became my best friends over the past year. Toni&Guy was a brand that I had be wanting to try for such a long time, but was unavailable in the U.S. When I stumbled across it at Target I knew exactly what product I wanted to try first.

 

Toni&Guy Casual

Sea Salt Texturising Spray

 

What really made me want to try this product was the texturising concept. I have very fine, very long hair. With it being so naturally straight, I need to use certain products so it doesn't look so flat and weighed down. This sea salt spray is part of Toni&Guy's Casual line.

 

The first thing about this product that I noticed was the smell. Most sea salt sprays that I have used have a weird smell that made me want to not use them anymore. The Toni&Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray's smell is very pleasant and I love that my hair remains to smell like it throughout the day. If you are looking for a product that will instantly give you body and texture, then I highly recommend you going out and buying one of these. My hair looks so much more thicker and alive when I use this. I've always had a problem with my fine hair, but when I use this it appears as though I have alot more hair than I really do.

 

I love to use this on dry hair, but it can be used on damp hair as well. I will brush through my hair and then spray this on. Using my hands I will scrunch my hair to create the waves. To add extra volume I love to flip my hair over and then scrunch it. I will then finish off with a bit of hairspray all over to ensure that the waves last. Most people may not have to apply hairspray, but my hair tends to fall very quickly because of how straight it is. On lazy hair days (most days haha) I love spraying this all over for a quick and easy look. I'm really excited to try more Toni&Guy products and see what wonders they will do to my hair. Sea salts sprays aren't that inexpensive for drugstore products but are a great investment. You only need to spray a thin layer all over so this product does last a good amount of time if you are concerned about spending money on it.

 

Price: $14.99

Orgins VitaZing SPF 15 Energy-Boosting Moisturizer with Mangosteen

Hello Everyone!

 

In the past month I have tried a couple new products and have noticed a great improvement in my skin. This is one of the products that has helped with making my skin look better than it ever has.

 

Orgins VitaZing SPF 15 Energy-Boosting Moisturizer with Mangosteen.

 

This multi-tasking moisturizer handles the vital jobs of hydrating, energizing and protecting to maintain skin's momentum all day. Gives skin the refreshing zing of antioxidant-rich Mangosteen. And adds a healthy hit of radiance that mimics the glow you get from a week's vacation.

 

I was a bit hesitant to purchase this moisturizer because of the tint. Most products that have a tint and claim to match every skin tone don't really live up to their claims. They tend to be too light and look unnatural on my face. If it hadn't been for the amazingly sweet representative at the Orgins counter, I probably wouldn't have purchased this. I tried this having no prior reviews from other people in mind. I can honestly say my skin hasn't looked this great in such a long time (I'm talking toddler days people!). This blends perfectly matching my skin tone and leaving my face hydrated and ready for makeup.

 

My face feels so energized after I apply this moisturizer in the morning. It adds a glow that I didn't have before and has transformed my skin from dull to radiant in the past month. I also believe this has helped with my hyperpigmentation and acne. I rarely have a blemish and my dark spots have dramatically diminished in color. A small amount of this goes a long way so I used a smaller than pea-sized amount to cover my whole face. This adds a nice dewy finish to my face without looking oily or greasy. This moisturizer also contains SPF 15 in it which is great to protect your skin from the sun. You will notice an improvement in your skin the first time that you use it. At $35 a tube this is a bit of a splurge, but since you only need a small amount it lasts you such a long time. I have used this everyday for over a month and am no where near the end of the tube.

5 under $5 - October

Hello Everyone!

 

Recently I went on a bit of a drugstore haul picking up products I had never tried. Some of these are new and some not so new, but they still are amazing products.

 

5 under $5 - October

 

1. Covergirl Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows (260 Coffee Shop): I have really been loving this little palette for the Fall. The colors are very warm and work great together. These are not chalky and very pigmented. Having one of these is great since you have all that you need for an eye look. I use the white under the brow bone and inner corners to brighten my eyes. I then apply the gold shade all over my lid and the bronze color in the crease. Lastly, I apply the dark brown in the outer crease to make a lightly smokey look.

 

Price: $4.84

 

2. Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher (Berry Shimmer): I know talk about this product alot, but I just really love it. The color is a beautiful color for Fall. It is extremely pigmented so a light touch is required for these. Like the name implies it is a shimmery blush, but not a strong shimmer.

 

Price: $2.99

 

3. Rimmel London Stay Glossy Lip Gloss (Captivate Me!): There is nothing worse than a sticky lip gloss. I am in love with these Stay Glossy lip glosses. They aren't sticky (obviously) and they last a long amount of time. The best thing is that they don't dry out the lips once they fade. This color has shimmer in it, but there are 18 available shades to choose from so you are bound to find one that you love.

 

Price: $3.99

 

4. e.l.f. Eyelid Primer - Most of the time I will use a cream eyeshadow base, but when I don't I love using this primer. It dries to a matte finish which is great if you have oily eyelids. It has a slight tint which is good if you have darker eyelids or visible veins like I do. This helps to make my eyeshadow last longer and prevents creasing.

 

Price: $1.00

 

5. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner (Black) - I love liquid eyeliner, but sometimes I don't have to patience or time to attempt to put it on. I highly recommend this eyeliner to anyone. It is so creamy and pigmented that it gives an almost liquid eyeliner look. It does not tug on the eyelid and can be blended out for a more natural look. If you have not tried this, then you are surly missing out!

 

Price: $3.97

e.l.f Disney Villains Look Book

Hello Everyone!

 

Like most 90's kids, I am a huge Disney fan. I actually get called Pocahontas by some people I know because of how much they think I look like her. When I saw that e.l.f. had released Disney Villains look books I just couldn't resist myself in buying one.

 

 

There are four different look books inspired by the Disney Villains Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Maleficent and the Evil Queen. I opted for the Cruella de Vil look book, but not necessarily because she is my favorite villain or anything. I actually don't like any of the villains, but I chose this one because it had eyeshadow colors that I preferred to use.

 

Inside you will find a lengthening and defining mascara, an eyeliner pencil, liquid eyeliner, eyelid primer, lip color, shadow brush and eyeshadow palette with six different colors. On the left side of the book you will find a little tutorial to make a Cruella de Vil inspired day look, while on the right side you can find a tutorial for a night look. The packaging is simply adorable and really brings back memories from my childhood. e.l.f. eyeshadows are some of the most inexpensive, good eyeshadows at the drugstore. They are super pigmented and really easy to blend.

 

 This is just a great concept for Halloween and I am so glad that e.l.f. decided to make these. These look books are available at Walgreens for $9.99 for a limited time. Make sure to go pick one up and bring out your own personal villain within (please just don't try to put a curse, or kill anyone).

 

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

September Favorites

Hello Everyone!

 

I must say that I wasn't quite prepared for this post. I thought September just started and it's already over. I have no idea why these months seem to be speeding by, but that only means we are getting closer to Christmas so I'm not really complaining.

 

 

These have been my holy grail items for the month of September and will probably help me get through the rest of the year as well. With the stress of college, I've relied on these products to help me not look as horrible as I feel.

 

1. Orgins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask - I have Normal to Combination skin. Now this mask is intended for people that have really dry skin, which isn't entirely my case. I have extremely dry areas around my nose and on my chin though. I decided to try this out since no other moisturizer seemed to work. Since using this, my skin has become so much better than it was. I guess I didn't realize how dehydrated my skin actually was.

 

2. VitaZing SPF 15 Energy Boosting Moisturizer with Mangosteen - I did not intend on buying this but the lady at Orgins was so incredibly sweet that I just bought it. This has a sheer tint release that matches the color of your skin perfectly. I love using this as a morning moisturizer because it makes a perfect base for makeup.

 

3. Rimmel Scandaleyes Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner (Nude) - This past month I have been overwhelmed with school work so I haven't been able to get as much sleep as I would like. Using this in my waterline it instantly transforms my look. My eyes look brighter and it helps you look more awake.

 

4. Covergirl Lipslicks Smoochies (#text me) - I have been waking up a little later than usual in the morning in order to get a little more sleep. This means that I haven't been taking too much time to do my makeup and have been using products that are really quick and easy to apply. I always have one of these in my backpack and will just put it on before I get to class and I have a nice splash of color on my lips.

 

5. e.l.f. Baked Eyeshadow (Burnt Plum) - I have been really loving plum on my eyes recently. Purple or similar colors look amazing on brown eyes and help enhance their appearance. These baked eyeshadows are really pigmented and really inexpensive.

 

6. Milani Baked Blush (Rose D' Oro) - Oro means gold in Spanish which is perfect to describe this color. It is a beautiful rose gold that can really be worn all year round. This may be a weird and useless comment, but Milani baked blushes smell really good (I smell every product). Milani Blushes look really lovely on all skin tones and are some of my favorite blushes. They are really pigmented and add a pretty glow to your checks.

 

 

7. Real Techniques Buffing Brush - This is the perfect brush to apply foundation. It easily blends it into the skin and makes it look flawless. This is good for all types of foundations and it works very quickly. I love all of these brushes as they are great quality and really inexpensive.
