Rare Beauty Dewy Liquid Blush, in Hope, is a warm-toned, medium pink liquid blush. The formula has a very fluid consistency and is lightweight. I found this blush very easy to work with. It has a lip gloss like applicator.
It glides on easily over foundation or bare skin. I was able to apply the blush very evenly and it blended well. The blush gives a dewy finish and has a very hydrating formula.
It feels almost weightless when applied. This hydrating formula gives you a good bit of time to blend out before it dries. The formula is highly pigmented. One drop goes a long way. The Rare Beauty Dewy Liquid Blush is definitely worth the buy.
I recently received Kylie Cosmetics Matte liquid Eyeshadow complimentary of Influenster and Kylie Cosmetics. I recieved the shade, 2 Steps Ahead. This shade is a pretty rich brown with a subtle purple tint. The matte liquid eyeshadow comes in five shades.
When I tested the product, I dabbed a small amount onto a tray and took an eyeshadow brush and blended it out onto my eyelids. It was very easy to blend. The product has lots of pigment so its very buildable. A little goes a long way. It did not crease as promised and created a blurred matte look.
The 5 shades are all beautiful, but I hope more options are eventually released. The matte liquid eyeshadow does come at a reasonable pricepoint. This is definitely a product worth trying.
I recieved the E.L.F. Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand in Magic Hour from BzzAgent in exchange for an honest review. I was so excited to recieve this product because I already love many things E.L.F. has to offer.
All of the beauty wands contain 2% squalene and micro pearl pigments to hydrate and create a glow on the skin. They are blendable and buildable due to the silky formula. The cushion tip applicator helps to achieve this as well.
The blush does create a glow when applied to the tops of your cheekbones. Many claim that the blush wands, highlighting and contour wands are a great dupe for the Charlotte Tilsbury wands.
This is a product I would purchase again. I love the smooth formula and buildable color. A little goes a long way. I am excited to try the highlighting and countour wands as well. Ladies, do not sleep on this. Go out and get you one.
Nars radiant creamy concealer comes in 16 shades. It is a liquid concealer with buildable coverage. It provides full coverage, but it does not look flat on the skin. I was easily able to find a shade to match me perfectly.
The product has a nice creamy consistency, yet it is lightweight. You do not need too much product. The concealer can nicely be layered on top of foundation. It does provide enough coverage to be used as a light foundation as well.
After purchasing this cult classic, I can see why so many love it. I found it does not cake. I put it on in small dots and blend it with my beauty blender. The concealer covers any redness you might have. I am always on the hunt for a good concealer or foundation. This one may be my favorite concealer to date.
I recieved MAC Locked Kiss Ink in Bodacious from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review. The lip color is a warm medium peach with a matte finish. It is lightweight and easy to spread. The lip color comes with ultra refined pigments that do provide buildable color.
The formula comes nutrient packed with passion fruit oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. The color says it lasts 24 hours. I did find myself reapplying before 24 hours as the color faded some. The lip ink is kiss proof. I can attest to that.
If you want a lighter shade only apply once and let the lip ink dry. However, I applied a couple of times, letting the lip ink dry between each application. It is a beautiful shade and is my new favorite nude.
No7, which is know for its skincare also has makeup. I was kindly gifted the matte blush in the color peaches from No7 and Bzzagent. I was excited to try the matte blush because I have never tried their makeup.
The blush is enriched with vitamin E to condition your skin throughout wear. It is a powder not cream blush. The blush is highly pigmented so you only need a small amount.
The peach is a beautiful pinkish peach. The packaging is basic, but right off the bat you can see the beautiful color. Apply the blush in small circular motions. You can always build upon the color.
Compared to other drugstore brands this blush ranks highly. It is a good option to have in rotation. Do you use drugstore brand or prestige cosmetics? Maybe a mixture of both? Let me know in the comments along with some of your favorite brands.
I was kindly gifted the Dr. Teal’s Shea Sugar Scrub from Influenster and Dr. Teals. This is an exfoliating sugar scrub. Exfoliating your skin sloughs away any of your extra skin cells that are left over after new ones are regenerated on a daily basis as skin cells renew. This keeps our skin brighter and gives it that glow. Exfoliation can also stimulate collagen production which can keep the skin looking younger and firmer.
Therefore, if you didn’t know before, these are a few of the benefits of exfoliation. So, now you can understand why I was excited fo try the Dr. Teals Shea Sugar Scrub. Exfoliating your skin a few times a week is a great habit. I would reccomend doing so once per week, working your way up.
The scrub felt great on my skin. I applied the scrub gently in circular motions massaging into my skin in a warm bath. The scrub is thick and gritty of course. However, it is not a dry scrub or watery. It lathers on nicely. The scent was very pleasant. After rinsing and slathering on some Dr. Teals collagen lotion, my skin feels amazing.
I was kindly gifted Not Your Mothers Curl Talk bond building shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask. I was excited to try because I have curly thick hair. I do get Brazillian blowouts every three to four months, but my hair still has a curl until styled. What I like most about this product is that it is silicone and sulfate free. The product is at a good price point and is easily accesible. You can buy these at your local Target, drugstore, or even Amazon.
Let us go over my experience using the products. I first began with the shampoo. I loved the way it lathered up. While, it did lather well, I found myself using a large amount to cover my hair. The smell was not unpleasant and very faint. This would be good for someone sensitive to fragrance. I did expect my hair to feel a bit more hydrated afterwards. Last but not least, after fully cleansing and rinsing my hair, I applied the hair mask. I let it sit for about five minutes before rinsing. This was more hydrating than the conditioner.
My final take, is that the product is a good option for someone that wants a curly hair friendly product. You may find yourself using up the product earlier than most if your hair is super thick. However, at the reasonable price point it would likely be worth it.
Currently, I am using a salon brand product which I feel is not a fair comparison. I would see myself purchasing the bond building hair mask again. This is a good option for many and clearly curly girl friendly.
Many have come to know and love this brand. I first fell in love with this brand when I tried their cult classic blush, orgasm. This glittery pink blush became a rotation in my makeup arsenal. One day I made my usual trip to Ulta to get another Nars blush in orgasm, and to my horror, they were not in stock that day. I decided to try, Nars deepthroat blush.
Quickly, I fell in love with this shade. It is a warm coral with a soft golden shimmer. The blush is a tad darker than orgasm. If you love shimmer, but want a more subtle shimmer then, this shade is for you.
Nars blushes are very buildable colors and go on very lightweight. You can wear the shade more subtly or amp it up for a warmer look. The blush will last all day.
This blush is priced about middle range, for prestige cosmetics. It is worth the investment because of the quality and longevity. I wear my Nars blush everyday and they last me close to six months. Nars blush lives up to the hype.
