Foundation Routine!

Hey guys! So just recently I did a Foundation Routine on my YouTube channel and I will have that linked HERE! So if you are interested in watching please check it out and SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! Thanks so much. You guys truly mean a lot to me! Anyways without further a due here are the products that were mentioned in my video!

The first product I use to prep my face is my Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Combination Skin Moisturizer.

I really do like this moisturizer, it is very light weight. But I don't like it as much compared to my Aveeno Moisturizer. This retails for around $9.99 and can be found at any drugstore, I ended up picking mine up at Target. I really do like it and it gets the job done, however I prefer the Aveeno one over this just because it really helped the tone of my skin! Overall this moisturizer is a very good one and worth the money.

Then to prime my face I use my Loreal Magic Perfecting Base

I really like this and I feel like it is a dupe for Benefits "The Porefessional" although this texture is a little bit thicker I still like it and once you have applied it to your skin you can't even tell it is on your skin. I use this to hide my pores on my cheeks and a little spot on my nose! It works perfect for that. This retails for $10.49 and again can be found at any local drugstore and as always I picked mine up at Target.

To hide any imperfections or redness on my face I use the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller.

Yes, I use this under my eyes as well as over my face as you saw in the video. This is very light weight and I sometimes use this like a tinted moisturizer. I really like this product a lot and I really recommend it for anyone that has light skin because unfortunately they don't make this in a darker shade! This product retails for $10.99 and again can be found at any drugstore.

Now for foundation I use Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Fairly Light

I love this foundation it just gives your skin such a flawless finish and especially if you used a primer. It is so smooth to apply and you don't need that much! This retails for $24.00 and you can purchase it at Sephora, Ulta or on Bare Minerals website. I really like it a lot and to me it is worth the money.

As for tools these are the two brushes I used:

The orange brush is by Bare Minerals and is called the Heavenly Face Brush and it retails for $30.00 now mine is limited edition but they still make it in black. The black one on the bottom is by ELF and it retails for $3.00 and you can get it at Target.

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.

Sweetheart VoxBox 2013 Skinny Girl On the go Daily Bars Review

Thanks Influenster! Now girls its true they are delicious and yes expensive. No I'm not going to purchase these unless I have a coupon but they are scrumptious and delightful but not for the price and quantity. The flavor for mine was coconut and yummy it was! I would like to buy more but I just can't imagine paying like 10 bucks for 5 bars ( I think).

PROS:
Taste so good

CONS:
Expensive

Sweetheart VoxBox 2013 Influenster - Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant Review

I have been trying this product out and I absolutely love it all but the price! 10.00 is a lot for a deodorant! (personal opinion) It's very creamy and moisturizing and I love the citrus scent! It glides on and there is no dry time which is great too! Now personally I don't sweat a lot but I still find that some deodorants just don't do the job. But this one is great. I have been trying this out now for a month or so and I LOVE IT!

I don't particularly have much to say about this product besides the fact that its great and INFLUENSTER sent me it, but I promise that this is completely honest!!

Pros:
Smells great
works great
moisturizes
lasts all day
dries instantly

CONS:
just the price - 10.00 WOW (but hey you only replace it once a month)

Sweetheart VoxBox 2013 - Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Review

So to start this review off I'm going to tell you how excited I was about this product! I opened up my box from Influenster and there it was, I thought it was the coolest most awesomest thing ever, (if that is even a word, hehe.) I was so excited you have no idea and literally words can't describe it. Now I don't know about you but I love trying to new face products, absolutely love new face products (well honestly anything new! but you know ;D) so yeah.


I opened it up and placed it in my shower. So excited and ecstatic to try it out and got ready for my nice shower. Before I got in the shower I cleansed my face with my Spa Products and here is the Review Video for those! Absolutely love those products!

Anyway got in the shower and tried it and didn't think much of it. So for about the past month I've been trying out this product. So far I don't notice it doing anything to my skin. :( DARN IT! Now the contour brush claims that it is supposed to (I'm about to go all commercial on you guys! haha) be 400% better clean vs. basic cleaning and the contoured power brush says that it deep cleans in and around your T-zone, hairline and nose.

Now yes it does get in my hairline well and yes I can clean the sides of my nose better, but no I can't even tell if it's cleaning my face better than my basic cleanse that I do.

As far as the Shine Shine Go Away Cleanser, I'm just as oily as before not really any less and the smell is soapy and I feel as if it drys my cheeks out, which is not good plus the color is a light yucky gray shade, YUCK! In my opinion I prefer my Clean & Clear Shine Eraser Cream Cleanser, it works great and my shine eraser treatment! They work amazing!!

OLAY FRESH EFFECTS LINK

So to sum it all up for you guys here are the facts ;D

PROS:
Does clean your hairline without tangling your hair!
Cleans the sides of my nose great!

CONS:
Not really noticing a difference in my skin.
Still is shiny and oily.
Drys out my cheeks
Weird Soapy Scent
Yucky gray color!

As you guys know I will be doing a video for this very soon in the future so the link will be added later!

New videos

I have a couple of new videos on my channel now! Yay! :) so go check them out, love you guys. Have a great a great evening guys!! Love you all!

Skin Care Products!

**I just want to apologize ahead of time this is extremely late and I'm sorry but here it is and nothing has changed lol! if it has I will make a video and link it below or make another blog post about it. Thanks!!**


SKINCARE PRODUCTS:

So overall I use about 20 different things which is a lot but literally everything helps my skin! There is for sure one thing I absolutely dislike and I'm only using it because I have to get rid of it otherwise I feel bad if I don't use it. OK enough with the rambling let's go ahead and get started, shall we?!

Okay so not everything in the picture above I use everyday. Some things I rotate and the masks are like once in a while or once a month. I'm going to show you guys each step I do in order.(I'm going to try haha!)

STEP 1 Cleansing:

I like to at night clean all of my makeup off my face. These are the products I use to achieve getting my face perfectly clean and ready to moisturize and treat!

The first thing I will use is either my Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser or my Sephora Supreme Cleansing Foam. Then I will GENTLY exfoliate my face with the Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleansing Pads, these are gentle enough to use every single day and work really nicely and are the perfect size! Now this last product is the one I don't care for so much! It's called Expert Eyes for waterproof makeup by Maybelline and it is so thick and oily, I HATE it! I hate the residue that it leaves behind and it is extremely thick! I don't recommend this. :/

Step 2 Moisturize:

These two moisturizers are my absolute favorite! I use the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily moisturizer every morning and then at night or after I shower I use Neutrogena's oil-free moisture for combination skin. They are both very light and perfect for my skin! I recommend the Aveeno one for anyone that has an uneven skin tone or even the texture of their skin is uneven. My skin used to be very red and I used that and it worked amazingly!

Step 3 Treat:

Now for these products I will go ahead and use my Neutrogena Acne-Stress Control Toner and then I will use my Clean & Clear advantage oil absorbing treatment which has literally made my oily skin disappear! Then I will either switch between my Clean  & Clear advantage acne spot treatment or my skin ID #32 treatment but I normally just use the Clean & Clear one because it literally gets rid of my acne overnight!!

 Step 4 Lips:

Now all the products you see here I use these all the time and I love each and every single one of them. In the morning I will use my Jack Black Lip Balm in Natural Mint and/or (sometimes and mostly I use both) my Savex Tropical Lip Balm. (This stuff is amazing but I picked it up in Hawaii and not sure if they sell it around here :/) and at night and after I shower I use my EOS Lip Balm in Lemon Drop. 

Step 5 Refresh:

Last but not least I use the Tea Tree Water from Lush to just refresh my face and it's very calming and I love the scent plus its great for all skin types! I just spray this on my face after I'm done moisturizing and treating my face and sometimes I will just do it randomly throughout the day. 

Shower:

So this three things I use every time I shower. I love all of them and they are a definite MUST! I use the Clean & Clear advantage oil absorbing cream cleanser and I literally don't have oily skin at all throughout the entire day!! Then I will use the Clean & Clear blackhead eraser just on my nose and it gets rid of all of my blackheads! I love it and it smells like cucumbers, lol! Then the last thing I do is that I will take my Olay Pro brush and it has made my pores visibly smaller and its much more affordable than the clarisonic!

Masks:

So I have a few different masks here to choose from! I have 3 hydrating masks and one for zits! Then I also have a color changing mask that I use every time I shower. I have the no 'zit' Sherlock face mask by bliss and also the fabulous skin-reviving rubberizing mask by bliss that I used and I love! Then I have 2 hydrating facial masks by Forever Young one in Wild Cherry + Collagen and one in Coconut + Shea Butter (and I have used the coconut one and it smells so yummy and is extremely moisturizing! The color changing mask is called Clearskin Color Changing Mask by Avon. Its very gentle and effective and can be used everyday if you'd like.

 In the 2 bliss kits you get 6 pouches of the mask, 1 Scoop and 6 Tongue Depressors. I think they are fun because you can mix it up yourself and it feels kind of like a spa!!

In the Hydrating Facial Wraps you get 3 masks each. They are much bigger than your actual face (for me anyway) but again they were fun because it feel like a spa, just the benefit at being at home and very affordable!
