Hey guys!! Today I decided to finally review the Smashbox Cosmetics X-rated Mascara I got from Ipsy. I absolutely LOVE this. It has a really cool shaped brush that picks up lots of product to coat every lash. The color is also super black (for the one I have at least) which I love. This makes my lashes look really long and a little fuller as well. It also stays put fairly well through the day (it's not waterproof though). I'd absolutely recommend this to you guys, it's awesome.  :)

Hey guys!! How's your week going? Mine is going well so far. Today I thought I'd review the NoTS 28remedy Acne Pore Deep Cleanser.  This works pretty well I think, it is pretty gentle on my skin and doesn't have a bad smell or anything (like how some of them smell really chemically). The formula is really creamy and lotiony (but not greasy) which I occasionally like to use. If you have problems with Acne I'd totally recommend giving this a shot. :)

Hey guys!  Today I'm reviewing the Maybelline Dream Wonder Pressed Powder.   I've been solely using the same type of powder for years (Covergirl clean powder) so I thought it was time for a change.  Although I liked the one I was using I couldn't help but feel it wasn't working as well as it used to. In looking around the beauty section I came across this one, so I decided to try it out.  I actually quite like it. It comes with a sponge, but I have been choosing to use my  Real Techniques Powder Brush  instead.  This does a very good job of covering up shiny areas. I will say about halfway through the day you might need a touch up, but I think that's pretty good. My only complaint is sometimes I feel like after I've worn this a while it starts to look slightly orangey on me,  which obviously isn't a good look. I'm not sure if it depends on the other products I use or what,  but that is a bit annoying. Overall though

Hey guys!  How is your week going? I'm sorry this post is a little late, I had to work today and actually ended up doing 2 shifts. This is a very pretty girly nail polish.  It has pretty decent color, you could probably get away with one coat, but I prefer 2. As far as how long it lasts,  it has relatively normal lasting power before it chips. Probably a few days to a week depending on what you're doing. I'd definitely recommend this brand though,  it's quite nice.

Hey guys! I know this is my second post of the day (if you haven't seen the first it's  Meet Bella!  ) so you should go check that out :) I'm doing 2 in one day because not only did I want you to meet Bella but my July Glam Bag has arrived!!

  Hey guys!! I mentioned in a previous post I might have some exciting news and that news is.... I got a cat!! This is Bella, she is 6 years old and she is from the place I'm working now. :) Originally I was planning to get a kitten, but Bella managed to steal my heart. An interesting fact about Bella is, Bella is blind, she can see shadows but that's about it. She gets around incredibly well though,  I'm amazed how she can follow me around and find where I am as well as all her things. She found a great place to sleep her first night here (thanks to my boyfriend who put her in my bed as soon as she got home...) She managed to take up 3/4 of my bed and most of my blankets as well. Lol Have any of you guys gotten any new pets recently?  Or do you have older pets you'd like to show me? :)

Hey guys!  How was your week?  Mine has been mostly good, I'm really loving my new job so far and I might have a really exciting announcement coming up soon (ok so exciting for me,  but hopefully you guys like it too lol) . Today I thought I'd review the OGX Moisture + Vitamin B5 Shampoo and Conditioner.   And I apologize for using almost half before photographing it... bad beauty blogger. Lol Seriously though I actually really love this. I think it is my favorite I've tried from OGX so far. It smells really nice and best of all, it has made my hair really smooth and shiny.  I still have some frizz, but I can deal with that if this keeps my hair smooth, I think I might stick with this one for a while and just look for a new anti frizz cream. I'd absolutely recommend this if you've been struggling with dry frizzy hair cause it really does help. 

Hey guys!  Today I thought I'd review the Clean and Clear Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser.  I love Clean and Clear products,  so it's always fun to try one I haven't used before and I have to say I really like this. It does exactly what it says it'll do, it cleans and brightens your skin and makes it look really nice. It also makes my skin feel soft.  It has a pretty good scent to, which is always nice. I think it also does a nice job of keeping my skin pretty clear and seems pretty gentle on my skin so I'd definitely recommend this. :)

Hey guys!! How was your week? Mine kinda went down hill slightly for a couple days, we lost our power during a storm for a day and a half. Thankfully it's back now though so I thought I'd review the Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Fireball for you guys :) I absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow.  It is so gorgeous and it's also fun because it kinda "changes" color depending on the lighting.  It can either be pink or peach.  I'm not even kidding when I first put this on I spent a few minutes just tilting me head back and forth to see the change.  Lol It also has very good lasting power.  I wore it all day and I didn't get creasing or anything,  it stayed put  (I used my Elf primer with it). I actually think this may be my new favorite eyeshadow and I'd totally recommend it. It makes me want to buy a Naked pallette so much more!
