Dr Teal's Foaming Bath with Pure Epsom Salt Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am going to review the Dr Teal's Foaming Bath. Andrew's mom actually recommended this to me because I was trying to find a good foamy bubble bath. I am also sensitive to aloe so I needed a good foamy one without any aloe which this doesn't have so it was a win win for this. They have 2 different ones, a Soothe and Sleep lavender one and a Relax and Relief Eucalyptus one. I really like both of these honesty. They are very foamy and you don't need too much, I tend to use more than I really need just because I want lots and lots of bubbles but a couple cap fulls is plenty. These also have Epsom salts so they can be great for sore muscles as well. I have been using these quite often since buying them, they are very nice and relaxing and smell really good. If you are looking for a foamy and not too expensive bubble bath definitely check these out. :)

Davines Love Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Davine's Love Shampoo and Conditioner. Now the sample is only enough for like 3 washes of my hair because it is so long, but this is my impression of the few days. For starters, the shampoo has a very thick consistency, like it is still runny but not nearly as much as most shampoos I have used. The conditioner is thicker than normal as well but not so dramatically. They both have what I would describe as a floral smell, which I don't love or hate. After using it for 3 days my hair at the roots and within like the first 8 inches feels pretty soft and smooth. The bottom part where I have split ends is a little softer but obviously still a little rough because of the split ends. I don't believe this claims to fix split ends and it won't, but it can soften them. I would be very interested to test this longer term to see how it does, as of the 3 days it did surprisingly well. It is a bit pricey at $...

tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer Review

Hey guys! Today I am going to be reviewing the tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer. I really like this. I have been using it quite a bit since getting it. It goes on very easily and blends smoothly. It is actually a very thick formula though so it covers quite well. It matches my skin tone perfectly as well which is always good. I would definitely be interested in a full size of this product as I really enjoy using it. It also does quite well by itself on the days I do very little makeup.

Blade for Men Intense Relief Hand Cream Review

Ok so you may be wondering why I am reviewing a mans product here, well I have an issue every winter where my hands get super dry and red and actually end up bleeding. I try and remember to use more lotion but it only helps so much, it is really hard to combat the issue all winter because I obsessively wash my hands. Well Andrew brought this home a couple weeks ago because he has been going to the gym and has been getting really rough hands because of it, so some of his coworkers recommended this. He suggested I try it for my problem too so I did. You only need the tiniest bit because it is super thick and it goes a long way. It also isn't super scented, it really doesn't smell like much of anything. Well after using this for a couple days or so I saw almost a complete improvement to my hands, after a week? My hands looked soft and normal again. This stuff is amazing, and this was only using it like once a day, like I couldn't believe how fa...

Oribe Matte Waves Texture Lotion Review

Hey guys!! So tonight I am reviewing the Oribe Matte Waves Texture Lotion. I have been using this to accentuate my waves and try and control frizz. It makes my hair look smoother (I would say it smooths for me more than adding all that much texture, although I suppose it adds a bit) and emphasizes my waves. It does a pretty good job of keeping some of the frizz at bay too. I'm not sure I would get the full size but that is just because I already have similar products I like better, that being said I do like this and would recommend it for thin to medium hair.

The Original Makeup Eraser Review

Hey guys!! I am IN LOVE with this product. I got this a while ago and finally decided to give it a try. In all honestly I didn't think it would work, just water to remove ALL my makeup...even the eye make up like liner?? But let me tell you guys it does just that, this will remove all your makeup with just a little light scrubbing and warm water. It even removed my eyeliner in like seconds! And the best part is the full size is just $20 bucks and it lasts up to 5 years and all you have to do is throw it in the wash to clean it! I am definitely buying a full size or 2 of these. You will never need to buy makeup remover again with this thing!!

HUSH App Review

Hey guys!! So I wanted to do this post quite a while ago and never quite got to it, but I am going to do it now. lol I found this app and thought it looked really interesting although I was skeptical because it was so cheap. So I decided to take a small bit of money and test out some cheap makeup products. I got everything within a decent amount of time and it was all packaged nicely. As far as product quality goes, it isn't bad quality, it's about what I would expect for the price, but it isn't amazing either. That being said if you are new to makeup or just wanna play around with it, this stuff isn't bad. I have even seen some brands I know on there so they have some good stuff, but also some eh stuff. For the price though I think it can be worth testing some stuff to see what you think.  These are the things I tested and I will add some reviews on all the products soon:

Ulta Beaty Juice Infused Lip Oil Review

Hey guys!! Today I am going to be reviewing the Ulta Beauty Juice infused lip oils.  I have 2 of them, other than the smell they work basically the same. They, being oils, make your lips quite greasy at first but once they start to soak in they make your lips pretty smooth and moisturized. They have no color of there own so they go well over or under other lip colors. I don't have any issues for the most part using lip colors over this if I let it soak in a little first. And obviously over a color it will act as a gloss if you add it.  If you want a good moisturizer for your lips this works quite well :)

What's in my Glam Bag? (November 2018)

Hey guys so this will be my last Glam Bag post, I am stopping Ipsy due to getting married and moving out but you can still enjoy my Birchbox videos for now! What I got: MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray  Ciate London Translucent Setting Powder Nomad Cosmetics Illuminating Highlighter Jersey Shore Cosmetics Moisture Rich Hydrating Balm

Estate Lip Icing Review

Ok guys, so today I am going to go ahead and review this, although I have only tried it once. Now the reason I only tried this once is simply because this reminds me of like the first lip gloss you get as a kid, when that's like the first thing you are aloud to wear. Now there is nothing wrong with that per say, assuming you still like lip gloss. Personally I don't. This is how it looks, it isn't nearly as pinky as you initially think it will be. It is ok, it lasts until you eat and drink things.  It is your average lip gloss, it is sticky and never really dries down. It does go on easily. Like I said, if you are into lip glosses, it is good. I am just not a fan.

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Review

Hey guys! So today I am reviewing the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. I don't typically use much eyeliner, but since getting this I have been having a little fun with it. This actually works quite well and lasts all day. It doesn't fade onto my eyelids or anything, it just stays put. It generally applies quite well although I have noticed when it is too cold it drags and is a little harder to apply, if it is at a normal room temp it works great. I love the applicator because it is very thin and has a very soft but firm straight tip. The ones with a marker like tip like this are my favorite liquid liners because they are easier to control and get right. I would definitely recommend this, to people who are experienced as well as beginners.

Ulta Beauty Brow Tint in Light Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Brow Tint. This is in light. My brows are relatively dark, but trying this still scared me a little because my brows are very full so I usually leave them alone. This works pretty well though I think, I probably could go darker, but basically it just kinda easily fills them in a little and shapes them, it isn't super dramatic which I like. I love that they still look very natural with this. I was very worried about them looking drawn on so I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the effect. Especially if you are new to doing stuff to your brows I recommend this. It's quick and easy.

Red Earth Deep Dive Water Cream Review

Hey guys! Tonight I am reviewing the Red Earth Deep Dive Water Cream. This stuff feels like water, like legit it is a cream but it is so light, it feels like you are putting water on your face. It is so hydrating, like I think this is one of the most hydrating ones I have tried. It doesn't feel too greasy and soaks in pretty well. It doesn't have too much of a scent which I prefer over a chemical scent which a lot of these can have. Overall I quite like this.

H2O Ocean Spray Review

Hey guys whats up? So as you may know I got my belly pierced back in February. As one of the cleaning options H2O Spray was offered and it sounded way easier than cleaning it with salt water every day so I opted for this. I really love the ease and convenience of it, and you can even get smaller purse sizes so it is easy to carry around. It isn't too expensive because it lasts for 1-2 months when used consistently 3 times a day. I think it really does help with the healing process when you are consistent with it. I have kinda fallen off in consistency so I think that is why it isn't doing as much now. It can even help with soreness some in the beginning, which is awesome, and I really need to be more consistent with it again myself. I would totally recommend this option if you get any piercings, I love it because it is so easy.

Meech and Mia Eyeshadow Review

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the Meech and Mia eyeshadow I got. This is a very nice color which I love. It goes on very nicely and has decent pigmentation, but is also somewhat buildable. I will say this did crease on me throughout the day even with a primer, but I find that happens with me alot, especially with darker colors like this. I am personally finding I am not liking the darker colors on myself as much anymore, but I would be interested to try out some other shades from them. 

Ulta Beauty Plush Drama Volumizing Mascara Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Ulta Plush Drama Mascara. I honestly forgot I had not reviewed this lol I have been using this for a couple months and I really like the formula. It doesn't get to clumpy and goes on pretty well. It also stays on well but isn't hard to wash off when you get ready to. Now I do have 1 main issue with application which I think I mentioned in a video. The applicator brush is as big as my eye... Now I have small eyes so this might not be an issue for everyone but I find that I have to be extra careful applying it or it will end up everywhere. That being said I do like it, I'm just not sure I would buy it again for that.

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Pallette Review (+swatches!!)

Hot Spot: This is a really good base or highlight color. It pretty much matches my skin tone, but it does add a little light to my eyes. Cation: This is a pretty light shade, but it makes a good base color to build on, I have used it on the inner part of my lid and then put drunk dial on the outside and blended out with privacy. It worked very well for that look all blended and lasted all night. Bang Bang: This is a really pretty one. It isn't SUPER pigmented, but it is extremely buildable which I love. It also didn't crease too bad for me even when playing disc golf which was awesome. Feelz: This one goes along well for a slightly darker tone with Bang Bang. It creates a slightly darker but still sweet look when paired. Juicy: This is a nice compliment to Bang Bang, I used it to blend out and it looked great, it is just different and dark enough to add to the look. Turn On: This is a very pretty buildable sparkly brown/gold. I am loving thi...

Winky Lux Charm Holographic Highlighter Review

So you guys may or may not have noticed (how could you not??) that I am slightly obsessed with highlighters. I love highlighters and use them almost every single day, if I have on makeup, I have on highlighter. So when this became available for points on Ipsy, of course I had to have it. This is definately holographic. It has so much shimmer and sparkle and I love it. I have been using this daily almost since I got it. It adds a perfect amount of glow to your face and can even be built up more. If I am not using this as my main highlight I have still been using it on my cupids bow and around my eyes solely for the amount of light it catches. It can add a glow to any look and it is just beautiful. If you want to bring your makeup game up a notch this will definately do it. I give this a 10/10, would totally recommend!

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Vice Lipstick Review

I am so absolutely IN LOVE and OBSESSED with this lipstick. I am totally in love with the color, it is dark and sexy and gorgeous. Even my husband likes how it looks. This swatch doesn't do it justice, it comes out nice and deep on the lips. Pretty true to color honestly.  It goes on a little rough but once it sets and you get it all right it is so pretty.  I totally want to try the other Cherry Vice colors, but I think this will stay by far my favorite. It has pretty good lasting power, although you will probably need to touch up after eating. You will definately need to touch it up if your food is greasy.  It doesn't feather too badly which is also awesome. I also love that this sticks to the inner area of my lips pretty well because ones of this consistency going on won't always stick right for me, but this one does!  I am super impressed and would absolutely recommend this :) Have you guys tried it yet? Do you like it??

Trestique Lipstick Review

Hey guys!! I am going to be reviewing the Trestique Lipstick I got recently, as you can see from the title lol I really like this color. It is very pretty and goes on pretty well. The tip is a little weird because it is small and rounded, but once you get the hang of applying it it is pretty easy, just a little more work than normal to even it out. I really like the color on my lips because it gives a nice subtle red. It isn't too in your face, but not too light either. It has ok lasting power, it definately needs to be re-applied after lunch. But overall does pretty well. I would totally try more of these. :)
