Artist Couture Love Sprung Pallette Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Love Sprung Artist Couture. I just recently got this after signing back up for Ipsy and I quite like it. This is extremely pigmented. You do NOT need much of this at all. I really like the 2 pinks in it, I have been primarily using Baby Bloom but they are both very pretty. The eternal flame is a bit dark for me but I can use it lightly as a highlighter or I can use it as an eyeshadow. This is a very nice blush pallette and I would totally recommend it, it stays put all day and looks great on the skin,  

NARS Deep Throat Blush Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the iconic Nars Deep Throat Blush. I got this in one of my subscribtion boxes, I believe fabfitfun this past time and I was super excited to try it. I grew up watching makeup gurus on youtube using this and other NARS products and I have always wanted to try them but they are just so expensive. This is a really pretty light pink color, it has really good pigmentation. It also lasts all day long without fading. I really like this, now would I buy it again- probably not, not because I dislike it but because I feel like there are cheaper ones I like just as much. That being said I am still very happy to have it in my collection and if you just wanna splurge for NARS then it is a really good blush!  

Arctic Fox Wraith Semi Permanant Dye Review

So I am 99.9% sure I have reviewed Arctic Fox before, but I wanted to review it again in the color Wrath. So here is my natural hair vs with the wrath, now i do want to show you guys I DID bleach that portion of my hair for this because i wanted the vibrancy. So here is the color i got it to before putting this in:   So it was kinda at a like dirty blond super light brown at this point. I wanted to make sure to show you guys because although the red would have shown up in my hair it would not have been as vibrant had i not bleached this first. That being said I LOVE how this color turned out. It was super easy to use, I just coated my hair thoroughly and left it for around 30-45 minutes before washing. Now one thing abt Arctic Fox dye-- it will stain your tub, skin etc. It washes out but just to let you know. It also doesn't neccessarily all rinse out and can still leave color on things if it gets wet later and will still be washing out more color anytime you wash it. This isnt a b...

Nomad Sandbar Eyeshadow Pallette Review

Hey guys whats up? Today  I am reviewing the SandBar Nomad Eyeshadow Pallette. This is a very cute little pallette and I really like these colors for fall and winter looks. They have great pigmentation to them. They are all slightly shimmery but not so much you cant get away with blending out with them. They have decent staying power, I do get creasing after a while but I have never found any that DO NOT crease for me so I won't fault the shadows. This pallette is $26 USD from the website so not super expensive, Id say midrange. It is also  "CRUELTY FREE + VEGAN + PARABEN FREE + NON-TOXIC + GLUTEN FREE" according to their website. I have been using this alot recently and I would absolutely reccommend it :)  

Arctic Fox Bleach, Please Review

Hey guys!! So today I am reviewing something I never have before and that is bleach. I got the Arctic Fox Bleach, Please bleach and decided to give it a shot. So these are just the instructions and stuff, I am not sure if you guys can read the box or not but wanted to add it. This is my natural hair to the bleached. As you can see it lifted pretty well. It went from medium/light brown to super light brown/dirty blond. I tonded it after this and recolored with a semi permanant dye (which was what I bleached it for) If I was going to leave it blond I would probably wanna bleach a little lighter but this was fine for my purposes and in my opinion a good lift for one bleaching. This was acrtually really easy to use. All I had to do was combine the tubes and apply it thoroughly. It even gives measurements if you do not need all of it to use smaller amounts, I think this bleach was great, my hair didn't feel too bad after using it and it did a great job. I will be using this again if I b...

Airspun Loose Face Powder Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Airspun Loose Face Powder. So I have seen this used in a few videos before but had never tried it, since it is cheaper I thought I would give it a shot. Firs off, I am not a fan of the smell. It is pretty strong and Im not loving that, however that does fade as you wear it. It has pretty good coverage when you first put it on, although you need a decent bit. After wearing for a while thought this doesn't do much to keep the oil at bay and I have found on my cheeks it can get kinda chalky/cakey if that makes sense. It also makes a very large mess even for a loose powder. I am probably gonna make do with this and finish it, but I probably will not buy again personally.  

Revlon Color Stay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer Review

Hey guys, today I am reviewing the Revlon Color Stay Skin Awaken 5 in 1 concealer. Since I have been looking alternatives to some of my fav products I decided to try this one as revlon has had pretty good stuff so far in my search. I am actually a pretty big fan of this, the sponge applicator is interesting, but other than that this is quite nice. This has pretty good medium to high coverage. It also actually does brighten under my eyes and make me look more awake. This also doesn't crease under my eyes or budge all day. I would totally recommend this and buy it again.  

Evenprime Hypernova Eye Serum Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Evenprime Hypernova Eye Serum. So I have waited quite a while to review this to give it a good test. It claims to help with dark undereyes, fine lines, and puffiness.  I cannot speak for fine lines because those are not an issue for me yet however I can for the other 2. I do find this helps with the puffiness, it makes my eyes look better in the mornings.  However with the dark circles...I am not finding it to help much from what I can tell, I still have pretty bad dark circles, it maybe helped the slightest bit but eh. I couldn't locate a specific price for this, seems around $20 USD, for that amount it isn't bad, I just don't feel it made a drastic difference.  

Ciate London Translucent Setting Powder Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Ciate London Translucent Setting Poweder. I absolutley love this product. I am starting to really like loose setting powders and this one is really good. I love that it is transluscnet and it sets my makeup really well. I will get slightly oily on hot days but i can just put a little more on and its all good. I would definately look into buying the full size of this, it lasts ages even in the little sample so I feel like it would be worth it.

Essence Volume Stylist Lash Extension Mascara Review

Hey guys! Today I wanted to review the Essence Volume Stylist Lash Extension mascara. So I actually bought this and forgot to review so had to buy again because I wanted to be accurate so finally here is the review lol I love the price on this first of all, all of Essence is very affordable. This mascara looks very good on and doesn't get too clumpy. It also lasts all day, however it does flake some and I did find if its really hot and you are sweating this could transfer to your eyelid or under eye. So maybe not the best for a summer look. I do however like it and think it would be fine in the cooler months for this price point.  

Butter London Teddy Girl Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Butter London Teddy Girl eyeshadow pallete.  I am actually really liking this! It's a very cute idea, and I learned a little history because this got me curious lol I also love the little folding case, so cute! These colors are so beautiful, I love that they are kind of muted and smokey. I have been using this alot since I got it and I feel like all the colors are very wearable. It also has great lasting power-- now i do get some creasing but that happens with basically all shadows for me, so i think it is a me thing, not a product thing lol I love this palette though and would totally recommend it.  Especially with autumn coming up, these colors would be gorgeous for autumn looks! Also the palette is only abt $25 USD so the price is really good as well :)  

Essence Lipstick Review

Hey guys! Today I wanted to review the Essence Lipstick. First off the packaging is beautiful! I actually really like these lipsticks. The price is really good and they actually have really good lasting power. I can put these on in the morning and even through eating and drinking they can stay on fairly well. Obviously if it is super greasy some will come off but for just normal things these are great. I actually like these more than some more expensive ones personally. They also apply like butter which is great, I would totally recommend trying these out!  

Patrick Star Visionary One Size Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Patrick Star Visionary One Size Eyeshadow Palette. For starters, look at this case, how cool is the geometric design? And of course I love some pink. Now as far as the pallete itself, look at this, I love how the majority is the neutral shades that will work for daily looks but then it has the pops of color added in for some fun. These are really good shadows, they go on really well and lasts all day. I also think you can pretty much use any of these together to create a beautiful look. They blend really well as well so you can do cut crease or a smokey eye with no problem. I really like this pallette and the price is $21 USD which is so good for this pallette! Absolutely recommend!  

Laura Geller® Cinnamon + Spice Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hey guys!! Today I am gonna review the Laura Geller Cinnamon and Spice Palette. So I really like the colors in this palette for like a wintery fall look. The pigment is pretty decent, only a few swipes needed for pretty good color payoff. I do wish it had more matte options, maybe a couple darker ones, but the ones it does have are very nice, a little light for my taste but I still like them. These stay put pretty well, only minor creasing, not too much fallout at all. Overall I think this is a really nice palette, I wouldn't say it wows me, but it is a good basic to have on hand in your collection for sure, and I think it is excellent for the price point :)  

Beauty Blender Review

So I may or may not have reviewed one of these before I am not sure, this isn't gonna be super long because I don't know how much I can say about it lol So this works great, it is your standard beauty blender (except the brand name), it is soft and it blends makeup very well. I will say it was hard to use because the sample is so small but I can tell the full size would be great, I would have no issue getting a full size of this when I need a new makeup sponge.

Clark's Botanicals Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream Review

Hey guys!! Today I wanted to review the Clark's Botanicals Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream. Now part of me thought I had reviews this before but I couldn't find it, so either way I am gonna do this review lol I have not been super consistant with this nightly, but when I am using it it feels super moisturizing, like it seems like a relativly thick cream and I feel like it really does lock in moisture to my skin. I can't say how helpful it would be to super dry skin because my skin isn't typically too dry but I would inmagine it would work pretty well for dry skin as thick as it feels. It does also dry down decently for a thick cream so I don't mind the thickness too much overall. I feel like that being said there are MUCH cheaper moisturizers that work just as well, I most likely won't purchase this soley for the price point it is at and just because of how much it is I would recommend if a cheaper option works for you to go with that. (1.7oz is 105 USD!)

Kat Von D Go Big or Go Home Mascara Review

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the Kat Von D Go Big or Go Home Mascara. I actually got this from fabfitfun I believe but I didn't show it in my video because I totally missed it in my box. I am so glad I realized I had missed it though because this is a really good mascara. This is a very lengthing and volumizing mascara, it seperates my lashes really well and applies beautifully. I have been pretty much exclusivly using this since I got it because I just really love how it makes my lashes look, like just with a few coats you can see a significant difference between my natural lashes and with this mascara. I would definately buy this again because I think it might be one of my favorite mascaras I have used in a while.  

Garnier Fructis Curl Co-Wash Review

Hey guys!! So this is actually a product I got from Influenster but I thought I would review it here as well. So I really really wanted to like this product, but after trying it a few times I don't feel like it is working for my hair. I just don't feel like my hair is clean using this, it still feels quite greasy and just kinda heavy after washing with this. I am thinking it is possibly because I have wavy hair and not super curly? If anyone with super curly hair has tried this please let me know.  I think I might just use this as a regular conditioner and see how it is but using it how it is meant to be used just is not working for me hair. Not only does it not feel good but I also don't think it looks good using this for more than a few hours. I think it could potentially be a great product, just not for my hair type I guess.  

Bemakai Manta Hair Towel Wrap Review

Hey guys! So this isn't persay a beauty product I guess but also kinda is.  I just really like this so I wanted to put it on my blog and recommend it to be honest. This is great for my hair, I feel like it is much more gentle than wrapping my hair up in a normal towel and I feel like my hair gets less breakage with this. It is also really soft and light weight which is nice and I can leave my hair up to dry a while without having issues with it slipping and falling off. I definately recommend trying this out because I really do think it is making my hair healthier by being more gentle with it.  

Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara Review

Hey guys! Today I decided to review the Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara. So if you have been around a while you will know that Maybelline has my favorite drug store mascaras. I am really liking this one. It creates very full fanned out lashes with a few coats and seems to stay put all day so no smudging. The only issue I have with it is the large brush because I have small features but I understand that is just so it CAN create that effect so I don't mind tooooo much. I just have to be careful not to get it on the lids. I would for sure use this again, I tend to alternate between different maybelline ones so I might not rebuy it right away but it will be in my line up.  

Pantene Miracle Rescue Intense Rescue Shot Review

Hey guys!! So I have an awesome product I wanted to talk about today that my best friend actually put me onto, it is the Pantene Miracle Recue Shots. If you have not tried these you need to go get yourself some!  A box comes with 4 and I can use each tube 2 to 3 times before running out and I have fairly long hair. These make my hair feel so smooth and conditioned, like these are genuinely so immpressive to me. My hair can be feeling really meh and dry and as soon as I use one of these it feels so so much better and healthier. And it lasts for a few days to a week feeling that way.  I really can't recommend these enough to help your hair feel healthier and smoother/softer, I buy more of these anytime I run out because they just work so well.  

Voesh New York Pumpkin Spice Pedi In a Box 4 Step Review

Hey guys, today I am reviewing the Voesh Pumpkin Spice Pedi in a Box. So this came with enough for two and I used the first one right away but wanted to use it again before the review. I know this is pumpkin spice but since it is basically summer and strappy shoes are coming out I decided to use this today as its the only pedi one I have tbh. I like this, I wouldn't say this is amazing, but they work pretty well. I think they made my feet look and feel alot better than before.     It basically starts with a salt soak, then a sugar scrub, foot mask, then finishes off with a moisturizing cream. I would probably buy these in the future because they are nice to do and I do like the results, my feet felt much softer and smoother after. Overall I'd give these a 7/8 out of 10.  

Number 4 Jour d' automne Smoothing Balm Review

Hey everyone! Today's review is on the Number 4 Jour d' automne Smoothing Balm. So if you have been here any length of time you will probably know I am always looking for things to help out with frizz, I live in the south so it is always an issue for me, so anytime I get knew things like this I am happy to try them out. I would say I like the formula of this, it is kinda a lotion texture and it goes into my hair pretty well, the only issue is it can make my hair look wet, so that is something to be aware of if that bothers you. I would say this does help with frizz, it isn't perfect but it is better with this in than without and that is something at least because my hair gets VERY frizzy without. I would say it is on par with alot that I have tried, but I wouldn't get this full size because I have tried some cheaper ones that get the same job done just as well.

Pan Oxyl PM Overnight Spot Patch Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Pan Oxyl Overnight Spot Patches. So I have had these and been testing them for a while and I really wanted them to work because I have seen such positive things about spot patches.  I don't know if it is just this brand or they just don't work for me, but I really don't think these do much for me. If anything I feel like they make my spots look worse almost?  I really am not sure if it is just me or the patches but I am not a huge fan of these. I really want to try another brand to compare and see if they work any better but as for these I will not buy them again.  Just for reference I have tried them for various lengths of time at night (like I put them on earlier or later before bed) and they still just don't do very much for me. Do you guys have any brand recommendations that you find work really well? I would love to test them if you do!  

(MALIN+GOETZ) Revitalizing Eye Gel Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Malin+Goetz Revitalizing Eye Gel. I actually think this worked really well. It was very moisturizing and left my skin around that area super soft. I didn't notice that it did a lot for my dark circles but it did make the area seem a bit brighter and glowier. I can't speak for if it helps prevent wrinkles but the amount of moisture would lead me to say I think it would help a lot if used consistently. Now I will say I thought this was fairly expensive at around $40 USD but looking at some similar products I think maybe that must be about the upper end of average for eye creams/gels. Overall I really liked this one.

Earth Harbor Tidal Rose Crystal Hydration Mist Review

Hey guys!! So if you have been here for a little bit you might know I recently discovered I really love Earth Harbor products. This is a newer one I have tried and I really like this one as well. It is very refreshing on the skin and I feel like it just makes my skin feel better. I am not 100% exactly what it does but I can tell a difference. According to the website it helps with inflamation, is PH balancing, has antioxidents, vitimins, minerals and helps remove toxins and proctect against environmental stressors. Is it doing all of this? Maybe I am not sure how I would tell but I can tell you, my skin likes this product and it makes my skin look nicer. It is also supposed to be good for aging I believe which I am all for taking care of my skin now to try and avoid too many wrinkles and what not. I will absolutely get more of this as I run out (it lasts ages though!) and I totally recommend trying this and any other Earth Harbor product. I love all the ones I have tried so far!  

Essence What the Fake Mascara Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Essence What the Fake Mascara. Since this brand has such a good price point I actually got a few mascaras to try from them, this one I like but not as much as the previous one ( I Love Extreme Mascara). This one I would say is pretty decent for the price (abt $5 USD) but not my favorite for winter. I say that because I personally like to have a thicker longer fuller mascara in the winter, but a lighter more natural one in the summer.  This for me falls into the latter, it looks nice but is a little light for me in the winter for the look I want to have. The primer from essence helps but I would still probably not use this in the cooler seasons. That being said it applies great and I have no issues with the application or the wear of it, it goes on well and stays put. It also isn't to clumpy. So I would still for sure recommend it for the price, but if you are like me I would try it in the warmer months.  

Burt's Bees Micellar Facial Towelettes Review

Hey guys! Today  I am reviewing the Burt's Bees Micellar Facial Towelettes. These were kind of an impulse purchase, I was at the store and just decided I wanted some makeup up remover wipes. These happened to be some of the only ones without aloe so I got these. These work pretty well, they aren't overly wet so I don't have to worry about needing to dry my face after using them and they do a decent job removing my makeup. I do not think they work as well as the micellar water I normally use but they work in a pinch or on a night I just am so tired I just don't want to do anything else. I don't really think they are very hydrating like they claim but they do not dry out my skin so that is good. I am not sure I will buy these again but they are fine, if I needed some and forgot my other makeup remover or just didn't want to take it because it is bulky I would buy it but not for just normal days.  

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Dr Jart+ Ceramidin Cream. I actually had 2 of these samples so I got to use this for a little while to test it out. I actually really liked this one, it was a very thick cream but it dried down pretty well and felt super moisturizing. My skin felt really nice after using it. It didn't have too strong of a scent either which was also really good. Now I will say I do not think I will be repurchasing the full size simply because it is $48 USD and there are cheaper ones I love that work for me, however it is a really good face cream.  If you have super dry skin and nothing seems to help I would give this a shot and see if it works for you!
