amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo. So I am someone who washes my hair almost everyday, but whenever I get dry shampoos I will skip a day or 2 to test them out. Now my hair I personally think gets oily on top pretty fast after I skip a wash and as soon as I use this it looks great again. This did a really good job of pulling the oils out/making it less noticeable and it lasted all day. I will say it made my head kinda itchy but I have noticed that just happens with all dry shampoos and if I skip a wash so I don't THINK it was the dry shampoo. Overall I do like this alot, that being said my suave ones work just as well and cost a decent bit less, but if you just want to get one that works AND looks pretty this might be for you, cause lets be honest, that is REALLY pretty lol

Bioderma Sebium Mat Control Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Bioderma Sebium Mat Control. So I'm gonna be honest, to review this I had to look up what it claims to do other that mat control and moisturizing. I'll start with those though, it does seem quite moisturizing, my skin looks nice and isn't dry.  I do not like the texture of it though, it seems very liquidy, so while that does make it dry down fast it also makes it harder to not accidentally waste product. As far as the mat control I think it kinda works, my skin doesn't seem as oily throughout the day. Now as far as brightening the skin and reducing irregularities I honestly don't know if it is doing anything, I guess maybe? I almost always have other makeup on during the day so I feel like it is hard to tell for those, if anyone has noticed a difference on my insta in the last few pics let me know though lol

TLW Let’s Get Naked Frizz Fighter Review

Hey guys!!! Today I thought I would review the TLW Let's get Naked Frizz Fighter. So I have tried a lot of anti frizz things because my hair is constantly frizzy (thank you southern humidity...) This one works fairly well, it tames some stray hairs and lasts through the day for the most part. My hair is still somewhat frizzy but it is better than without.  I feel like if you don't live in an area with high humidity or have super unruly hair this might work well for you. I personally won't buy the full size because for me it just doesn't keep my hair under enough control, but I can see it working for some others.  So a no for me but maybe a yes for someone else lol

Phase Zero Blusher Review

Hey guys!! I am finally starting to feel better and get back into testing things so today I thought I would review the Phase Zero Blush. I was super excited to see this because I love more peachy toned blushes as opposed to pinky ones. My cheeks tend to get red enough to show through my foundation on occasion so those don't help lol This goes on super nice and light but is totally buildable which is great, that way it can go with tons of skin tones as well as looks you are trying to do. It also to me feels very springy/summery which is also a huge plus since those seasons are right around the corner. I love how this looks and it stays put all day and doesn't cake or fade or anything.  I would absolutely recommend this!!

Xtension Plus Skiyline Mascara Review

Hey guys!! I am sorry I have been a little MIA for a while, I have been not only busy but dealing with some anxiety stuff again so I haven't really been in the headspace to write or try new products lately. It is a new year though so I am gonna try and get things under control and get back into it, with that being said today I wanted to review the Xtension Plus Skyline Mascara. I have been using this a month or so and it work quite well. It does not fill your lashes out any but it does make them longer and very fluttery. This is the type of mascara I personally like for "natural" looks. Just because it isn't super in your face but it still makes your lashes look really nice. I am not sure I would actually purchase this because I have tried others like it I like, but if you are looking for a mascara like this then this stays put all day and is really nice. It is not waterproof, but unless you are getting it wet you will be good! :)

Love of Color Eyeshadow stick review

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the LOC Eyeshadow Stick. I got this in Birchbox as you know if you watch my Youtube channel and I have just gotten to trying it. I quite like it, it goes on super easy and blends out very well, I tend to add some powder eyeshadow to blend out and it works very nicely together. Its lasting power is decent, I will say it creases a bit more than some of my shadows on hot days but overall I would still say it stands up well to all day wear. I will sometimes do a light powder shadow base under it just to help it last longer and that works perfectly. I do wish there was more product but since this was just a sample I am almost out of it, I don't usually buy stick shadows but I would consider buying this again. :)

Jouer Long Wear Lip Topper Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Jouer Long Wear Lip Topper. So at first glance I wasn't sure about this product, it is brown with sparkles after all and I am not too sure about brown lip colors on me (some people pull them off beautifully, I didn't think I could). I have to say though alone and on top of other colors this really ends up coming off pretty sheer and just adds some shine and slightly changes the color under it. I am not a gloss person so I don't care for the stickiness but it does look very pretty. As far as long lasting, it is just as long lasting as most products, good till you eat (or drink too much), but a simple reapply will easily fix that. If you are looking for a lip topper you should definately try this one out!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara. I really really like Benefit as a brand and I have heard good things about this mascara so I was super excited to try it. I actually moved this to the front of my list of mascara to try tbh lol I quite like it, it is not heavy on the lashes at all so it gives you that natural beachy light look. It also has pretty good lasting power, it does not claim to be water proof but seems to still hold up to a little water without budging. I typically only go for light mascara in waterproof versions, however I do really like this and could see myself getting a full size at some point. :)

Dr. Lipp Tint Sweet Potato Pigment

Hey guys!! So if you watched my  Birchbox Unboxing on this you will know I was a little scared of this one as I HATE sweet potato like ALOT. So I was very concerned that if I licked my lips this would taste like them and I would hate it. Well great news everyone, it does NOT taste like sweet potatoes and I like it! It gives my lips a nice little pink tint to them and is pretty moisturizing. It is a bit sticky which I am not a fan of, but for a lip gloss I do quite like the color and moisturizing part so I still am using it occasionally for a more subtle lip. :)

R+Co Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the R+Co Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner. First off on a positive note,  I love the smell, it smells great, even my husband didn't mind it. Moving past that, my hair hated this. After using this for a couple days my hair felt very dry and just not great and my scalp was super itchy. Once I went back to my Nexus items my hair was much happier and healthier looking and feeling. Now that might just be this not working for me personally so I encourage you to look up other reviews but I would not personally recommend this.

Arrow Enhance Eyeliner Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Arrow Enhance Eyeliner. I have been wanting a light white or skin tone eyeliner for a while but never got around to buying one, but I got this from Birchbox recently so I was super excited. This works pretty well, it needs to be somewhat warm to work but once you let it get a little warm it works very well. It helps me look alot more awake and just brightens up my look. It does not necessarily last all day though, it might need to be reapplied around midday (but then my eyes water alot with allergies), but other than that I love it. I would definitely look into buying this again. :)

Arrow Boost Color Enhancing Lip Balm Review

Hey guys!! So today I am gonna be reviewing the Arrow Boost Color Enhancing Lip Balm. When you first open this up it doesn't look like much. It is clear and just pretty boring looking. To be honest I was kind of skeptical that it would add any kind of color. That being said I love this, when I just want some subtle color added to my look this is awesome. Since it is color enhancing it basically takes your natural lip color and brings it through more and makes it more obvious. I have been using this a lot with different looks. Being a balm it is also moisturizing so that's awesome too. I totally recommend this ^_^

Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and Humectress Conditioner Review

Hey guys!! So today I am going to review the Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and Humectress Conditioner. I got this combo from Birchbox and I have to say I am impressed. I was not expecting this to do anything special, but I really like this. First of all the Shampoo smells awesome, I love this. I have had one other product that smelled like this but I just can't put my finger on which one, either way though it is awesome and Andrew (my husband) likes it as well. The conditioner smells nice as well. These together have been making my hair feel really soft and smooth and I even think it is less frizzy. I am thinking of purchasing the full sizes soon because I really want to keep my hair like this. I got this results in about a week, even Andrew noticed a difference. The only thing holding me back from buying this is the Shampoo is about $20.00 a bottle and the Conditioner is about $18.00. But they are large bottles that would likely last quite a while so I t...

Marcelle City Tinted Cream Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Marcelle City Tinted Cream. I actually really like this. It matches my skin really well and blends really nicely. It has pretty good lasting power and as far as I can tell the SPF works well. I like this so much I am looking into buying the full size to use this summer. It is only around $20 so it isn't bad at all. This is in my top 10 of favorite products I have received from my subscription boxes (this one was from Birchbox). I would definately recommend looking into this!

Vita Liberata Fabulous Self Tanning Lotion Review

Hey guys! Tonight I am reviewing the Vita Liberata Fabulous Tanning Lotion. I am going to start off by saying this isn't scent free. It isn't too strong at first but as it sits on the skin for the proper amount of time ends up smelling just like the other self tanners I have used. That being said, I really do like this. It gave me a nice natural looking glow, it needs to stay on quite a while (up to 8 hours) to develop so I put it on at night and by morning my skin was quite tanned. It isn't too orangey or anything like that. I really appreciated that unlike others I have tried this faded out without leaving harsh lines on my wrist from hand washing, you could still see the lines, but they weren't super obvious. This also didn't get streaky even applying with bare hands. I'm quite happy with it overall and think it works great. I have very pale skin so I can't say how it would develop on darker skin, but I would proba...

The Beauty Crop Glow Milk Review

Hey guys! Tonight I am reviewing The Beauty Crop Glow Milk Highlighter that I got from Birchbox. I am in love with this. It gives the most extra glow ever. It is super pigmented and you only need a tiny bit. It makes you look absolutely radiant. Now I will say if you have very oily skin this might not be the product for you due to it being liquid and adding so much shine, but otherwise I love it. This is currently one of my favs.
