Crown Brush C427 Duo Fiber Blush Brush Review

Hey guys! How is your week going so far? Mine has been really fun actually,  I finally got a job and it's working with animals so I'm super excited!  ^_^ My feeling on this particular brush are mixed. It's ok, but I don't love it.  To be honest I rarely reach for this one.  It isn't all that soft and the bristles aren't packed very tightly so although it works,  I prefer to use a brush with more tightly packed bristles. Being this one is actually made for blush though (which I don't use) I suppose it's good it doesn't grab too much product, but for me it just doesn't have much use.

Cute Summer Look!!

Hey guys!! How's it going? Today I thought I would share a cute summer look with you guys. This is currently one of my favorite things to wear and being that the 4th of July is coming up soon I'm loving this cute star'y bra! That actually leads me into the main inspiration for my post today, the brand Adore Me currently has a kind of campaign going where they want you to show off your sexy with the #Sexysummerylingerie. I've been looking around there website and they have some adorable lingerie that I'd totally recommend checking out. Also as you guys may have noticed I prefer darker clothes and lots of black rather than bright colors, but I think this still looks adorable for summer; I think it's perfect for going out on a date, to a cookout, or just hanging out with friends! :) What do you guys like to wear in the summer? What makes you feel sexy?

VINTAGE by Jessica Liebeskind Sparkling Lipgloss in Pink Sequin Review

Hey guys!! Today I thought I'd review VINTAGE by Jessica Liebeskind,  Sparkling Lipgloss in Pink Sequin.  This is a really really pretty pink. I quite like wearing it, and I really like that it's kinda sparkly (I guess I should've known because of the name,  right? Lol) I think it has pretty decent lasting power.  It needs to be reaplyed after eating and drinking, but I find that that is pretty normal with most lip products.  I'd definitely recommend this if you are interested in a pretty sparkly pink gloss. :) You're interested in signing up for an  Ipsy Glam Bag  you can use this link. :)

Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Primer Oil Review

Hey guys! How's your week going?  We had a super bad storm here last night so I've barely slept, therefor if this review is a little all over the place I'm very sorry. I actually am not crazy about this. I've never used a face primer before so I'm not sure if they are all like this, but I feel like this just makes my skin feel super greasy and it takes an eternity to soak in.  I guess it does kinda make my foundation look a little better and last longer, but I don't find my foundation to be a problem without it normally anyway. I probably won't purchase this just because I don't think it's worth it for me. If you're interested though like I said it does kinda help.

ELF Daily Brush Cleaner Review

Hey guys!! Today I thought I'd review the ELF Daily Brush Cleaner.  I actually think this works quite well. My brushes got cleaned pretty easily with just a little scrubbing and I like the scent of this.  I will say if you do NOT like the scent you might not love this because the scent will linger on your brushes. Another great thing about this,  it's pretty cheap, I think I paid like $3 for it at Walmart. So if you just want a nice cheap brush cleaner I'd totally recommend this.  :) Btw I wanted to let you guys know,  there is no wait list on Ipsy  for 48 hours if you use the link. 

Real vs. Fake: To airbrush or not to airbrush, that is the question

Hey guys! Today I wanted to talk about something a little different. Recently I was reading an article talking about changing your photos to make yourself look better.  I got curious so I downloaded an app so I could play around with it. As you can see, I've managed to change my photo quite a bit in just a few minutes of playing around. Obviously I've added a pretty flashy filter, but the other changes aren't so obvious.  What you may not notice as easily is that I've actually made my eyes slightly bigger as well as my lips and gotten rid of all my imperfections.  If you had never seen the original,  do you think you could easily tell I had done more than add a filter? Personally I've always been kind of against using these edited kind of photos on my blog because I don't want a younger girls, like my younger cousin, to see a bunch of "perfect" photos on my blog and think they need to look like that. I don't even look like ...

Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss Review

Hey guys!! I thought today I'd review the Illamasqua Precision Ink eye liner. I'm gonna be honest, it's taken me so long to try this because I don't really care much for eye liner. I'm not sure if that makes me a bad beauty blogger or not, but it's true. I just like my makeup better without it. That being said,  this is actually a very good liner. It's really easy to put on, it doesn't have to much product on the applicator at a time. I found getting even a close line with this was fairly easy. It also has very nice lasting power in my opinion.  It didn't budge while I was wearing it.  It's somewhat hard to get off, but I find that to be an issue with most liners so that's not a big deal. I'd totally recommend this. :)

OGX Gravity Defying and Hydration+ O2 Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hey guys!! As you might have noticed since it's gotten warmer I'm loving taking my photos outside, I feel like they come out so much better that way.   Anyways today I wanted to review the OGX Gravity Defying and Hydration + O2 Shampoo and Conditioner.  I think the packaging of these is super pretty, I love the color, and to be honest that's one reason I wanted to try this. Lol As far as how it works, it definitely made my hair have more volume than usual.  That part was actually pretty nice. However I found that it also made my hair feel kinda dry. I prefer shampoos and conditioners that make my hair feel really silky and smooth, so although the volume was great, I can't stand my hair being dry. So would I recommend this? If you want more volume and don't mind the possibility of your hair feeling slightly dry then yes. If your like me and that drives you crazy though, I wouldn't try this.
