How to find out if a product or foundation is silicone based!

How to find out if your foundation is silicone based or not?

Look on your ingredients list, if you didn’t know the ingredients are listed from most quantity to least quantity. So for example if you were to see ‘Water’ or ‘Aqua’ listed first that means that there is more water in it. But that doesn’t necessarily make it a water based foundation. Because if the 2^nd word is something like silica, dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, actually all you have to do is look at the end of the word, if it ends in –cone, -siloxane, -silicate or –silicone ß that is your silicone ingredient, it is most likely a silicone based product. Now if you get to the middle of the ingredient list or below the middle and you haven’t reached a silicone ingredient then it will most likely be a water based foundation.

Why is silicone used?

                Silicone – lets your skin breathe, it also fills in any pores or fine lines you have. It’s also a lot smoother and will most likely give you an “airbrushed” or “flawless” look.

Will I break out because of silicone?

                Well, that I am not sure of. Because everyone’s skin is different. Some are sensitive, some are oily and or combination, etc. But I do know since it does fill in your pores you could experience severe to minimal breakouts. For me I have been using a silicone primer and I have dry/combo skin and I haven’t had a break out. I think that you would be more likely to break out from a product you’re using because of the talc and possibly the fragrance in cosmetics.

What brands use silicone?

                Well as I have found the majority of foundations use silicone. From high end to drugstore there is some form of silicone in almost all of them. I do have a list made up and I will be posting that as well.

But I hope this helped you for the most part. If you want to know more about this just let me know in the comments on my blog or even on twitter, instagram or my channel.

As always thank you for reading!!

Nails in a Month April 2013 - Support Autism!!

Hey guys so this month, I made the decision to support Autism by wearing the color blue for most of the month!!! I think I did a pretty good job with sticking to my decision. The video will be uploaded within this week, and I'll do an update post saying that it is uploaded! A favorites video is coming as well, so would you like a post for that too!? Let me know in the comments! Alright now let's get started! (Oh and these won't be in order by any means lol, check out my instagram link at the bottom!)

So for everything I used for my typical manicure hasn't really changed since the previous month but I wasn't able to get a post up last month, but here are the items:

• Sally Hansen Maximum Growth - I've been painting this on my nails before my base coat and then over the top of my nails before my top coat! It seriously has worked and I LOVE it!
• OPI - Ridge Filler, which is my favorite product to use as a base coat, since I have peeling nails and on some of them there are mini ridges.
• Beauty Secrets Top Coat- and I use it for a top coat and that's it! lol
• Famous Names - Dadi Oil, which I love the scent to but it is just a cuticle oil and it is 95% organic which is one thing I like about it but, I'm not sure that I would repurchase it. But it is great.
• OPI Avojuice Lotion - Mango - Uh, YUMM! lol The smell of this is amazing and it isn't greasy!!
• Demert Nail Enamel Dryer Spray - to help dry my nails faster if I'm running out of time or just because I have little patience (mostly little patience, haha)
• Butter London Nail Polish Remover in Branwen's Berries - Love this to clean up around the cuticles because it is acetone free and it's not harsh and doesn't dry out my cuticles! (Unfortunately it's almost gone)
• Beauty Studio 35 Strengthening Nail Polish Remover - Just something from Walgreens nothing exciting, it gets the job done and inexpensive.

Alright so as far as colors go I do have pictures that I took off of my instagram:

 This fun little duo is Loreal Paris - Now you sea me and on the ring finger, OPI- Polka.com from the Euro Centrale Collection. (I absolutely adore it!)

 Second: Essence - you belong to me. Perfect mint color, that I freaking love!

 As far as these two pictures above go, I used essence - you belong to me and just added strawberry milkshake by ciate to add in some pink and used some caviar pearls for some fun!

 Headliner - Ciate and on the index China Glaze - optical illusion from the prismatic collection!

 Absolutely loved this look! China glaze - frostbite and on the ring finger Sinful Colors in hottie. On the index I just used some white pearls and made it into the shape of a heart!!

 I actually really enjoyed this and not something I normally do, Revlon - Colada Fizz and NYC - Starry Silver Glitter. Just nice and simple.

 Loreal Paris - Royalty Reinvented and on the ring finger OPI -polka.com again!

 Favorite color of all time!! Thank you Makaila :D Orly - Fancy Fuchsia!

Also a new favorite which took me by surprise is OPI - Pussy Galore from the 007 Bond Girls Collection! This is a liquid sand color and is what I am currently wearing and also listening to Summer of 69' by Bryan Adams!! (LOVE)

Alright as for my lil' toes I only wore two different colors, just because I hate changing them, pain in the butt!

• At the beginning of the month I wore Orange Blossom by Love My Nails a really pretty orange with a gold sheen to it.
• Second my favorite color of all time and what I am wearing and plan on rocking it for awhile is Orly - Fancy Fuchsia!

Well gals that is it for my nails in a month! I really hope you enjoyed and please please please, check out my channel. It would mean so much to me!! I work very hard to create videos. Click here to visit my youtube channel and hopefully SUBSCRIBE!

Happy Saint Patricks Day! March 2013

Hey my lovelies! I am sitting here on this cold sunday afternoon, supporting green and watching Counting Cars. I thought I would show you guys what I am wearing for my makeup and nails and I might sneak in a pick of my shirt that you can get at Target! (and who doesn't love Target! lol) anyways.

I can't show you the picks because they are on my instagram. ( I might post them from my phone cause I was'nt thinking)

But here are the links:
Nails <CLICK- Revlon - Posh - cream finish kelly green! and on the tips Hello Kitty - Gold Star - fine gold glitter! Also I'm trying out my new base and top coat samples from Lumos! (Thanks Lumos!! Review coming soon)
Makeup - Eyes <CLICK - Took some colors from my Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette (Chessur, Muchness, Drink Me Eat Me, Midnight Tea Party, Wonderland, Absolem and Mad Hatter) I think you could achieve the look by using the NYX Eat, Love, B Fab Palette. I used my Original Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer, Milani True Black Eyeliner, Urban Decay Lush Lash mascara, Ulta Voluptuous Volume Mascara and NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk, NYX Crystal Liner in Champagne, MAC Glitter Liner in Lime Dandy and Bare Escentuals Glitter Mascara in Bronze.
Face - I used Revlon Colorstay Whipped foundation in Buff, NARS blush in Orgasm, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 003 Natural, Victoria Secret Highlighter in All or nothing.
Lips- Maybelline Baby Lips in Yummy Plummy and Sephora Lip Gloss in Marquisette.

Outfit - Skinny Jeans and black tank top from forever 21 and cute saint patricks day shirt from Target click here for the link and a black sweater from kohls.

And that my friends concludes my Saint Patricks Day look. Please let me know if you would like me to do a tutorial on the makeup because I think this look is great for the spring time as well. Comment down below if you would like me to do so.

Loving Gel II, it's great!

I love the Gel II polish it's amazing and such a great finish!!! :) I love it. Check out my review for it coming this weekend!!

Loreal Paris color vibrancy day 4 & 5

So overall, they didn't give me enough product to even test out for a week. I honestly didn't notice anything different. I don't really care for the feeling that the shampoo gives me I'd much rather prefer to use my Paul Mitchell product. But I think it does the job but that's it nothing special.

MAC Dupes - Lips

MAC Dupes:

Lips

I'm going to be showing you guys some of my dupes that I have found in my collection. Hope this is very helpful and please comment on my videos and also SUBSCRIBE, I work extremley hard. Thanks

First:

MAC's Dazzleglass in Sugarrimmed. - 20.00

Victoria's Secret Lipgloss in Alessandra - 12.00

 Swatches on the top is Sugarrimed and below that is Alessandra.

Sugarrimmed is a light pink base with pink and blue glitters throughout it. This is very thick but I don't mind that feeling. This is part of their permanent collection and you can buy the product here.

Alessandra is a white based lip gloss with golds and reds through out it. Again very thick but I don't mind. I love putting this on the center of my lips! You can get it here.

Second:

MAC Lipstick in Marquise D' - 15.00

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss - 3.99

 

Peach Kiss is on the top and Marquise D' is on the bottom.

Marquise D' - is a pink, nude and very creamy. Perfect everyday color. Unfortunately this was a part of the Wonder Woman Collection and is no longer available. :(

Peach Kiss - is a little more sheer but a great alternative in my opinion. You can buy it here or literally anywhere! :)  

Third:

MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Gaga - 15.00

Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch - 3.99

Lorac Couture Shine in Haute - 16.00

Haute is swatched on top in the middle is MAC and baby lips is on the bottom. 

Viva Glam Gaga - is a very light baby pink. (Unfortunately apart of the viva glam gaga collection, not available any longer.)

Pink Punch - exact match and also moisturizing! But it here.

Haute - again another perfect match and its perfect to top off pink punch as well. Not really saving you money but it is an exact match. Get it here.

(Sorry about the picture, the best I could do)

Fourth:

MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum - 15.00

Victoria's Secret Lipstick in Muse (Matte Finish) - 14.00

Covergirl Lipstick in Siren - 5.99

Flirt! Lipgloss in Mighty Aphrodite - 9.50

 Left to Right: Mighty Aphrodite, Candy Yum Yum, Muse & Siren.

Candy Yum Yum - YAY apart of the permanent collection now thank goodness! This is a bright neon pink with a matte finish. LOVE IT! Get yours right here. 

Muse - This really isn't going to save you money but if your wanting to try out a different brand or something this is a pretty close match its just more of a deeper hot pink. Get yours here.

Siren - If you don't think you can pull off the matte finish of either of these than this satin finish in a hot pink color is a great alternative for you! Buy it here.

Mighty Aphrodite - This is an amazing dupe, almost an exact match but its a gloss! So its perfect to top off candy yum yum. :)  Get it here.

Fifth:

MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Nicki - 15.00

Flirt! Lipstick in Enchant - 13.50

Enchant is swatched on top and Viva Glam Nicki is on the bottom. 

Viva Glam Nicki - is a bright pink yellow or as I like to call it a bright pink coral color and great for spring time! Now this is considered limited edition but it will be going away soon so grab yours here.

Enchant - is a little more sheer but it is a coral pink color and is very buildable. :) If you don't think you can pull off the viva glam nicki give this a try instead. Buy it here.

Sixth:

MAC Lipglass in Emancipation - 15.00

Barry M Lip Paint in #132 - BP 4.49; USD 6.99

Unfortuantely the picture of my swatches got deleted. But I promise they are very similar. :) Heck they are identical except for the fact one is a lipstick and the other is a gloss.

Emancipation - is a peachy, pink nude and was apart of the wonder woman collection, therefore it is no longer available for purchase. :( bummer.

#132 - this is a pinky, peach golden shimmer nude. Very creamy and hydrating for the lips too! Its a beautiful everyday color and you can get yours here.

Seventh:

MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Nicki 2 - 15.00

Barry M Lip Paint in #129 - BP 4.49; USD 6.99

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Darling - 8.99

 Left to Right: Barry M and Revlon.

Viva Glam Nicki 2 - described as a vivid pastel lavender pink. Now the Barry M is an exact match and I didn't purchase this one. But you can get yours here for a limited time. This color is great for spring and very pretty and maybe a little hard to pull off for some.

#129 - is the exact match and even just as creamy and more affordable! Get it here.

Darling - is just more of a deeper purple, and has more of a plum shade to it but I love it too. Much easier to pull off as well. :) Buy it here.
