Review Benefit Lipsticks

Hi again everyone-

This is a review on the Benefit Lipstick's. I have 2 of them! I think they are very much like the Revlon colorstay lipsticks and the clinique Buttershines or MAC slimshines in texture! I really like them and think they are a great product but I don't tend to purchase lipsticks anymore, since i have way to many! haha!

I overall I would give these lipsticks would be a 7 out of 10!

I hope you enjoy my review!

PS- My hair looks a mess in this video- it wasn't agreeing with me! :o(

Cheers-

Costal Scents HD Foundation

Hi again everyone-

Sorry I have been MIA for a while- I was taking my real estate licensing classes, so I was pretty busy and I uploaded a few videos but didn't really have a chance to update my blog!

So here is my review of the costal scents HD foundation. i really like this foundation although I do not like that I have to use 2 colors in order to get the right color match. The foundation lasts well, has a great finish and is fairly inexpensive. However the color choices are really hard to match since they are only available online and the color selection is not that great.

Overall I would give it a 6 out of 10 mostly because of the color selection. If the selection was wider I would say it was an 8 out of 10!

So that's my two cents!

let me know if you have tried it or like it!

Products I have used up

So I am not on project 10 or 5 pan- I am currently just buying things I am interested in trying until I finish at least 50 reviews on my list! But in the mean time I have finished up some products because I am using up items I have! Here are the ones I have recently finished!

Origins Multi Grain- this is a favorite must have for me! Love it!

Korres Olive and Rye eye cream- I really like this and this is my 2nd tube but I think I am going to try some new things out this time!

Alyria face cream in #2. I like this but I find that over time using it I can get the same results from exfoliation and a great moisturizer- I will stick with my RetinA from my dermatologist!

MAC lipstick in Spirit- this was a Limited Edition lip stick and I loved it for so long but now I have other favorites too!












The last item is my Urban decay Primer Potion. Just a little background on this. First I used it like it comes- then I took the stopper out (this worked for a really long time) then I did the hot water lip gloss trick and it pulled a lot up to the top and I was able to use it for a bit longer- then i finally broke down and cut it open (see pictures below)
However after taking to a lot of people on twitter and reading some info on cutting the packaging open on MUA I found out some interesting info. When you saw through the container with a knife you are cutting the plastic particles in to the product that is left in the container. So when you scoop it out in to another container yes there is product left BUT there have been people that got serious eye infections from doing this.
So for me I would rather buy another for the $18 (I already ordered one at sephora) than to chance an eye infection. the original bottle lasted me well over a year so I think I can handle buying a new one when I cant get to what is left in the container!

So let me know if you have any questions and have a great day!

Dr Brandt Pore No More Pore Refiner

Hi again all-

So this is my review of the Dr Brandt Pore No More Refiner that can be purchased at Sephora. Overall I really liked this product. I would give it a 8 out of 10!

There are also other options out there such as the MAC Skin Refining Pore Perfecting Primer and the Clinique Pore Refiner also! I have tried both and the Clinique actually clogged my pores and the MAC and Dr Brandt did not.

However the Dr Brant is around 445 USD and the Clinique and MAC ones are around $20-25 USD and are half the size so depending on how much you are going to use they really are around the same cost!

I hope this helps you all and let me know if you have any questions!

Tutorial My Foundation Routine

Hi everyone-

so this has been requested by me since I began making videos. I am not big on making tutorials because 1.) I cant edit 2.) It takes me like 5-6 times of taping it before I am happy with it 3.) I just don't have the patience and I never know what i am going to wear until i am sitting and putting it on! :o)

So this is my foundation routine- the products change ALL THE TIME!

What i used (all prices can be found online):

Sephora Anti Shine Primer

Chanel Pro Lumiere #30 Shell with the 197 brush

Smashbox Photo Op

Bobbi Brown Corrector in bisque with the BE Max concealer brush

Estee Lauder Max Coverage Creamy Tan

Benefit Powderflage with a sponge
Origins Multi Grain Medium with the Origins Brush

NARS Laguna with the MAC 138

MAC Cream Color Base in Shell

Cargo Tonga with the MAC 129

I hope you enjoyed this and please let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers-
