ATTENTION: EVERYONE MUST BUY THIS PRODUCT

Review: It's a 10 miracle leave-in product

Holy moly EVERYONE WHO WANTS NICE, SMOOTH, AND SOFT HAIR MUST PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I purchased this about a month ago and I've used it every. single. day. I seriously cannot live without this product. Before I purchased this I tried numerous products and they honestly did not help as much as this baby right here! This product claims to do ten things instantly:

                                    

1. Repairs dry, damaged hair
2. Adds shine
3. Detangles
4. Controls frizz
5. Seals and protects hair color
6. Prevents split ends
7. Stops hair breakage
8. Creates silkiness
9. Enhances natural body
10. Flat iron spray and thermal protector

Now we have to be realistic. This product definitely does NOT do all those ten things but it does the majority of it. For me, it does everything except protecting my hair color. I do see a great change in my hair and it has become softer and shinier. Also, this product smells WONDERFUL. Every day after I shower I spray this all over my hair and then blow dry it. It makes it soft and smells great after! Another bonus to this lovely product is that it's affordable! I LOVE finding products that perform as well as higher end products. It shows that you don't HAVE to pay more for good quality products. I believe I purchased this on Amazon for about $11! Honestly.. that is way better than other products that go for triple or even more!! I definitely encourage EVERYONE to purchase this! What's the harm! It's affordable AND it works GREAT!! Have a lovely day everyone! =)

Review: Olay Oil Minimizing Toner

Hello again! Today I will be reviewing Olay's oil minimizing toner. Before we continue, you may ask, what is the purpose of a toner? Many women who work at boutiques and spas say that it helps balance the skin, takes off dirt that your cleanser may have missed, and prepares the skin for moisturizer. Some toners can dry your skin because some do contain alcohol. If you have naturally dry skin I suggest you to buy an alcohol free toner. 

Now to be honest... I've always been extremely lazy with my skin care routine! I'm sure many of us do get lazy. However, lately I've decided to take better care of my skin. One of the products that I purchased at Target for $4.99 is this amazing toner! I'm not sure if you can read the back too well but it basically says that it tones by removing dirt, oil, and make-up without stripping skin's essential moisture. It is also dermatologist tested! I look at its reviews on makeupalley and it received 4.3/5!  Many people who had sensitive skin were able to use this toner which is perfect for me! Here are my impressions on this product. After I used a cleanser to wash my make up off, I used this toner. I must say it DEFINITELY removed the dirt off my face. After a few days, I noticed my pimples have not been as red and have actually almost disappeared! However, the smell is a bit strong so if you're sensitive to strong smells I don't recommend this product. This product also contains witch hazel which is used to help reduce the presence of bacteria on the face. It also assists with skin inflammation and prevents future pimples from developing. 

Pros:

Removes dirt 

Affordable

Contains witch hazel

Cons:

Smells a little strong

Contains alcohol (bad for dry skin)

till next time!

Concealer Review: Is It Really Worth All The Hype?

Hello again! Today, I will explain my opinions on these two concealers. These two concealers are some of the most talked about concealers by many make up gurus. Many gurus have gushed about how the the Sonia Kashuk concealer is helpful in covering blemishes and darkness around the eyes. This concealer retails for about $10 at Target. There are two concealer shades, one neutralizer, and one translucent powder. The concealer shades are used to cover blemishes or dark eye circles. The neutralizer's purpose is to cover any redness on your face. DO NOT be scared if the neutralizer's color seems a bit green. This is because in the color circle green is the opposite of red and therefore, cancels out the redness on our face! After you apply concealer, the powder is used to set the concealer. Many gurus believe that this is a great concealer palette, however, I don't agree. The concealer just doesn't blend well when I apply them to my eyes and the neutralizer doesn't cover my redness as well as I thought it would. For $10 I'd rather spend it on one of my favorite concealers (Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer).

The second concealer, Hard Candy Glamolauge, is a concealer that has heavy coverage. Many people say it works as good as Kat Von D's Tattoo concealer. While Kat Von D's Tattoo concealer retails for $25, the Hard Candy concealer costs $6 at Walmart. I purchased this concealer a few months to see to see if it was really worth the hype... and sadly it was NOT! It felt extremely greasy and thick on my face! The smell was horrible and it did not blend well on my skin.The only good thing about it is that it has good coverage. Overall, I would not recommend these two concealers. They are DEFINITELY NOT worth all the hype!

Let me know what your opinions are!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review

Hai everyone! Here's an another post but this time its about Urban Decay Naked foundation! I recently purchased this product at Sephora and it's about $40. I'm not sure if you can get it anywhere else.. I believe Sephora is the only store you can purchase Urban Decay products at besides the company's website. I was in desperate need of a good foundation especially since I have combination skin and my skin can get extremely oily around the t-zone! While I was watching some youtube videos, I stumbled upon a review from itsjudytime on this foundation! I discovered that this foundation is extremely light and it has a demi-matte finish. When I went to Sephora to try it out it was perfect! Although it is a little pricey for foundation... I believe that if you are putting something on your face every day you should spend a little more! I used to purchase only drug foundations... being the cheap college student I am LOL but I've realized that I should spend more on products that I put on my face on a daily basis. Here are the pros and cons!

Pros:

Demi-matte finish

Feels very light on face

Buildable coverage (less cakeyness)

Cons:

A little pricey (but like I said it's worth it)

Let me know what are your thoughts on this product!

Maybelline Color Whisper Lipcolor Review

 

Hii guys! I went to CVS again... for the third time this week. I passed by this product and I couldn't not try it out! Here's my honest opinions on it. I purchased two different shades, Pin Up Peach and Mocha Muse. One is a pinkish shimmery color while the other is a nude shimmery color as well. They actually smell really nice compared to the other Maybelline lipsticks. Also, they apply really well on my lips and are pretty moisturizing. However, after an hour of applying it, it quickly dried! I was so disappointed! Even though these have good pigmentation and smell delightful I dont think I'll be repurchasing anymore Maybelline Color Whispers. If I'm going to purchase something to put on my lips they must last at least a few hours! Otherwise, I'd just keep reapplying every hour.. and who wants to do that!

Pros:

Good Pigmentation

Smells Good

Moisturizing 

Cons:

Dries really fast 

See you guys next time!
