Rimmel & Maybelline Suuuuuccck!

Don't get me wrong not all their products SUCK
but here are ones that
def need a BIG caution sign posted somewhere
on the product. Lets start off with the rimmel colour rush trio
u see right above all these little words. This trio of colors is very very sheer. You need to apply it at least 5x's to get some decent color pay off. So I used two different bases
so u can compare and see which base would work best.
I came to the conclusion that either or works ok with this trio palette
but I think loreal decrease is a bit more better because the color shows a bit more.
So down below I swatched all 3 colors and with the loreal base i applied it 7x's just so it will show up on the pix. But with 3 or 4 applications onthe eye will do great. When I used the revlon based I applied the e/s 5x'S. Loreal Decrease Base(Above)
Revlon cream base(Below)


Final Thought: I think this particular trio is good for a daytime
look. Such as an interview, school,work, running errands EVEN THE BEACH! Since the colors are not as intense they are perfect for any any kind of day time activity or anywhere that is inappropriate to wear very outstanding makeup. Also, if your the type of gal that doesn't like to wear so much make up during the day time or at night this product will do you justice! The next review is about the maybelline dream mousse shadows.
Well..these little tricksters are garbage. I love the cute little jar and everything but it is an absolutely horrible product in my opinion. It should definitely be called dream crumbles because it is not moussy, creamy or smooth. The texture is very clumpy and hard to apply and smooth out the product. By the time you try to smooth it out 99.5% of the product is lost because it just crumbles up and doesn't stick on the eyelid.
This is how product looks when taken out of the jar.(above)
That's how the product looks while tryingto smooth it out(below)


So after 5 minutes of trying to smooth out this baby
this is what ends up happening..
Most the product is gone and as u can see some product left on my middle finger. Please feel free to click on all the pictures to enlarge them.
You can't do anything with this so called make up product, absolute waste of money. These are just my opinions and experiences you are definitely welcomed to try them out and experiment on yourself because it may work out for you. But I have researched around on the net and youtube and the majority don't have very good opinions bout this product. Anyway if you have any questions just ask away..

Take care my lovely's

Bed Head Dual Waver Review

Hey there gorgeous people!

First off I wanna give thanks to all the other lovely bloggers that have chosen to follow my blog and share their wonderful comments on my blogs. It's really appreciated and please if your a follower of mine and I haven't followed u yet please let me know about your blog I am very interested in all you bloggers out there. =)

Shall we move on...

Ok so has anybody heard of the Bed Head Dual Waver??? Don't worry if u haven't your about to become familiar with it today, hahaha! I decided to do a mini review on this hair iron that I bought a while back. What's a dual waver you say? Well it's also known as a crimper.. YES A CRIMPER.. It's supose to make your hair look like u have little waves in your hair strands. I know it may sound weird but for those of you who don't know what I am talking about let me just say before I go any further let me show you an example. Here's a picture of madonna and lindsay lohan with crimped up waves..personally I like lindsay's waves but what's up with her makeup and well madonna...looks cracked out lol

Well I will be doing a tutorial on this look this weekend and post some pictures up on my blog so you can see how this particular waver works out for me on my hair.

I love crimpers and how they make your hair look it's just super cute and girly in my opinion. So this waver/crimper is ok. I say this because even though the highest heat setting is 400 degrees it doesnt really crimp the hair, the heat isn't strong enough. You have to put hairspray before you crimp to get those little deep waves. I bought it at Ulta for $35. I also love that it is purple haha and it lights up when u turn it on(i'm such a ditz) I get amused easily lmao!

The fact that the waver does have tourmaline ionic and ceramic barrels is one of the reasons why I like this waver. Tourmaline ionic means that it is going to provide shine, smooth out the hair and tame the frizz. Also, it has an adjustable styling barrel in order for you to choose between deep or shallow waves. SO that's pretty cool.

To wrap this review up I think it's a decent waver when applying hairspray before crimping the hair...I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. If u have any questions about this waver please do ask. Thanks again for joining me at my blog!

Take Care!

Fresh Skin Brings Big smiles

Hi there everyone, hope all is well!

Here are a couple of things that I love which are cheap good products and work well with my skin type in MY OPINION =)

I guess u can say my skin type is normal meaning it's not to dry or oily it's just in between. Back when I started high school my face was real oily but as when u get older the texture changes. I love washing off my makeup with good cleansing and exfoliating products. It's very important to exfoliate those dead skin cells once every week but I like doing it twice a week. This helps get rid of any excess residue, dirt and dead skin cells in order to prevent skin outbreaks and other impurities that comes with the game.

Cleansing helps remove makeup, oils on the skin and unclog pores. A moisturizer with SPF 30 is great to use becuase it delivers anti-aging ingredients and protects the skin from sun damage. Also, it helps keep the skin smooth and hydrated no matter if u have dry or oily skin. So with that said here goes my face routine for now. Check out this site for more info:

http://beauty.about.com/od/skinflaws/a/basicskincare.htm

First I apply my moisturizer which is called Green Tea day cream which has dead sea minerals and green tea extracts. Its perfect for me it does not irritate or breakout my skin. It came a a pack with a facial mask but I haven't tried it yet. I bought it at big lots for $5, great deal. But I don't really know where else to get it I have never seen it anywhere else. The product has glycerin which is a humectant that helps keep skin hydrated. Smells ok goes on smooth and light. The downside is that it does not have any SPF.

After moisturizing I apply my face primer if I am going out for a girls night or I want my makeup to last on for a long time then I go on to my foundation. Then before I go to bed I cleanse my face with Neutrogena's one step gentle cleanser. This cleanser claims to completely remove the makeup off of your face. It definetly does the job!! In just one cleanse it removes 99.1 % of it. I generally like cleansing twice so it really gets the job done if not I sometimes use a cleansing wipe.

Then after cleansing I exfoliate but I don't exfoliate everyday just twice a week. I use Neutrogena's Deep Clean Gentle Scrub oil free. This formula is gentle enough to use everyday but what I like that it removes my makeup too and leaves my face soft, hydrated and GLOWY. It's like I can really tell it removed all that dead skin and dirt.

I don't really use toners because I don't have that much of an oily face and plus their job duties are the same as a facial cleanser. But back in high school i did use a toner which was the infamous Witch Hazel, and oddly I love the smell of that toner=)

Also check this link out to read more about toners:
http://beauty.about.com/od/tone/f/tonernecessary.htm

One more thing, with my moisturizer since it doesn't have SPF I use this Lancome moisturizer which really doesn't work well for me when applied alone. It's too greasy and breaks me out. So when I mix the two together, my moisturizer and the lancome moisturizer it works really well. Does not break me out at all.

Look at my cute bracelet hehe I got for $10 at the mall..It has cute lil charms. The bow on it stole my heart that's y I bought it lol..i love bows!!


Hope u enjoyed my blogging today and if u have any questions ask away ladies if u have any recommendations on any other good cheap skin products let a sista know, hehe!!
Have a great day!
..Take care..

NYX Lip Kraze

Hey everyone,

I'm here to give ya a few lil' lip swatches from NYX. I know there are tons of reviews on these darling babies but I wanna give my own review from my own experiences with them.

Let's start off by saying that the price is perfect and the packaging is cute. Not expensive at all, at cherryculture I think it's $2 for one of these lippies. If u get it at Ulta it's going to cost u $5 I think, maybe in your area it might be different.

But these are great inexpensive lipsticks that moisturize my lips and go on smoothly...I don't even need a lipgloss on top of these lipsticks because their just that creamy. The color payoff is great and they have a great smell to them (some don't really have a smell)

The only thing I don't like is that they don't last long on the lips with any sip or bite u take into anything some of the color will come off, not completely but some.

The infamous "THALIA"
this is just a mauvey pink
looks much darker in person

"baby pink" this is a REALLY
frosty light pink don't get it
unless u like reallly frosty metallic lips, lol

"Iced honey" it's a frosty peach color
one of my faves!

"circe" nude light peach
one of my fave lippies to do a nude lip

"rea" this is a nude pale beige
the pix doesn't do the color any justice, but its a much darker nude color than circe
I actually love it especially wearing i with dark smokey eye looks

Hopefully this helped anybody deciding what colors to get if you were interested in any of these..Let me know bout your experiences too with these NYX lippies girls!

take care!
