When To Toss...

Here is a nifty table showing when you should toss your makeup, you don't have to throw it away, but if you do you won't be risking your skin or health.

There is also a table to show you when to toss or clean your tools for beauty.

Hope this helped you. stay clean and germ free by washing your brushes and tools every 1-2 weeks or so.

Whet Nail Polish Review

Whet Nail Polish in Facetious
 

I got this nail polish in my ipsy bag one month, and have been trying it on and off for a few months. I clean and do a lot of hand washing in my job field, so chip proof and long lasting nail polish is what I always need. I can't afford to get gel nails every month, so I look for other alternatives. 

The Whet nail polish is a great nail polish in my opinion. It lasts and doesn't chip for a week or so, it goes on opaque and with 2 coats it is totally covered and very shiny without a top coat. All the times I tested it, I did not use a top coat and with a top coat it will last longer then a week. Which makes me very happy!  I love the color on my short nails, and it's great for fall/winter.

I would recommend this to people who use their hands a lot, wash their hands a lot, or wear and tear their nails to death. I will be looking into getting more colors of this, as I love it soo much! I do wear this a lot on my nails, and it has gone to great use.  You can find it here: http://www.mebath.com/whetnails/ and find a place to order it by doing a google search. 

It gets an A+ from me!

Happy Nail Polishing to you,

Cleansing Oils: with Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse

Cleansing Oils

With Dermalogica precleanse

This item is a deep cleansing oil that is used before washing your face on dry skin, to remove waterproof and stubborn makeup on your skin. It is an oil with apricot oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, orange oil and grapefruit oils that is put on dry skin, then you add water to make a milky makeup remover. It hydrates and balances out your skin while taking off makeup.

Recently a lot of oil cleansers/ balm cleansers have come out and people are loving the results from these products, mainly for the hydrating and non rubbing (so no wrinkles) to get the makeup off. It even works on oily acne prone skin.

The Dermalogica cleansing oil is 38.00$ for a full size and 10.00$ for a travel size, which is the size I got in a beauty box a bit ago. since trying this product i'm open to trying other cleansing oils and more from the dermalogica line.

This is kind of an obsession of mine right now because my skin is drier in the fall/winter. Cleanse away!

Fotd: May 21st 2016

Face of the day for may 21st 2016.

I felt pretty!

Velvet 59 Lipgloss:Noisette

Velvet 59 Lipgloss in Noisette

 

This lipgloss is a perfect my lips but better color and is on trend with the 90's makeup look. The lipgloss is smooth, not sticky or gloopy. The color is perfect for me as a MLBB or a perfect nude close to my own lip color, as I don't wear lipstick all the time, I like gloss. It has a good rose smell that I like, some may not like the smell, but it is faint. I'm in love with this gloss right now , it is a favorite now! yay! for re finding favorites in your collection.

You can find it Velvet 59 Gloss <~ here! a full size is 19.00$, But I got mine in an ipsy bag awhile ago.

Chella Liquid Eyeliner-Indigo Blue

This is the chella liquid eyeliner in indigo blue. It has a felt tip and the formula is liquidy at first, and then drys fast. The formula also is a bit water resistant, but washes off with makeup remover, face soap, and water. I like to remove most of my makeup with a makeup remover face wipe, then wash with my normal cleanser.

The only two peeves I have about this eyeliner is one, the felt tip is very, very long and you can get it all over your eye, and two, the pen has dried up a bit since I opened it last month, so I'm not sure how long this will stay liquidy.

I love the color, it gives my eyes a bit of pop with a great neutral eye, or alone with the pop of just eyeliner and mascara. 

If you have a chance to try this I would, but you could find a nice drugstore product or a sephora one to replace this. I would find one with a shorter pen length, because I am clumsy.

stay tuned for more reviews, looks, stories, and general life shenanigans.

City Color: Be Matte Blush- Fresh Melon

I got this blush in a ipsy bag and i thought I would review it. This is a matte blush and it has no shimmer, it also is very pigmented and I swatched this very very heavily on my hand.

it did sink into my pores on my hand, so i would wear a primer, or a base for your cheeks. So it wouldn't do the same to your face.

The texture of this blush is very buttery soft, and can get a bit chalky if you use wayyy too much. I think this color would give my face a great pop of color on my very pale cool toned skin, but could work for all colors of skin both warm and cool.

I'm not sure on the wear time and transferring because I haven't worn it for many hours, just an hour or so. but I think it works great!

have you tried it? do you like it? let me know!

Kirkland Brand: Daily Facial Towelettes

I saw these the other day at costco, and it was a 150 pack of face wipes for 13.00$ It is a huge deal, because a pack of 30 wipes (neutrogena) is like 7-8$ at drugstores. Huge deal. It comes with 4 (30 wipes pack) and 2 travel packs(15 wipes). The travel wipes are very handy to keep in your purse when you have a overnight at a friend's or need it at work.

The wipes are a very large size and are very soaked in the solution, so they are great for wiping off your whole face of makeup before cleansing or if your too lazy to wash your face after a long night out. They are hypoallergenic, gentle, and removes even waterproof makeup. These are my new pre-cleansing face wipes to remove makeup. I love them!

if you have a chance to try these, check them out to see if they work for you.

Pop Beauty: Plump Pout Gloss- Peony Petal

This is the Pop Beauty plump pout gloss in peony petal. The size is .14 oz.(which is full size). The gloss is a  red, rosey pink, color and the texture of this gloss is very smooth and buttery feeling. It is also a plumping lip gloss, without the burning stinging feeling like other plumping products. The gloss doesn't seem to have a smell, it just kinda smells like lip gloss.The wear time is great on this, it seems to last a tish longer then normal lipglosses, but will come off with food and drink.

The unique things about this gloss is the rubberized packaging, and the doe foot wand is straight, rather then a slanted doe foot applicator. I love the packaging, the rubberized feeling is something I Love and it makes it feel luxurious to me. I also love to see new packaging and wand types , it's nice to know people are evolving.

The color is a bit too warm for me, but if I mix it with some other cool color it works well. This color would work well on medium and deeper skin tones with a warmer undertone. it makes my teeth look more yellow also.

If you would like to purchase these glosses you can at ulta, ulta.com, amazon, and popbeauty.co.uk. It is 16.00$ .

Have you tried these? do you love them? what colors do you have? Let me know!

Pop Beauty: Aqua Laquer- Flowering Fuchsia

Here is the Pop Beauty aqua laquer in the color flowering fuchsia, it is a darker hot pink color. The size is .34oz.  The texture of this gloss is a bit stickier then other glosses, and it reminds me of the texture of warmed honey. The gloss smells slightly minty, which I don't mind at all, it's not overpowering, but you can smell it. I like minty smelling/feeling glosses during the fall and winter months, it's refreshing.

The unique thing about this gloss is the wand, it is a flexable "Paddle" like applicator. It does scoop up enough product to cover your lips, and I find it is easy to apply on my upper lip because my lips are slightly rounded on top. This wand is unlike anything I have seen before, and it is kind of refreshing to see people trying different things to a product.

The color is very pretty, it is a sheerer pink on your lips, but it makes my lips look shiny and like I just ate a fruity Popsicle. I really love this gloss! I have worn it frequently, and keep using it because it is soo pretty, and it moisturizes my lips and stays on longer then normal lip glosses. It has jojoba oil in it to deeply moisturize your lips, while providing a sheer color. This is perfect for spring. I personally think the color is great for my pale skin, and cooler undertones. I also think it makes your teeth look whiter, which is a plus. because it is sheer I think it can work on almost every skin tone, from pale to deeper skin tones.

I will try to find more of these to keep in my lipgloss collection. The full size is .34 oz for 14.00$ and you can find it on ulta.com, ulta, and popbeauty.co.uk, or wherever pop beauty items are sold.

have you tried these? what is your favorite lip gloss? let me know! I'd love to see what you lovies are wearing on your lips.

Pixi Beauty Tinted Brilliance Lip Balm- Unique Pink

This is a smaller review for the Pixi Beauty Tinted Brilliance Balm in Unique Pink. I got this in my July Ipsy bag, and have been using it since I got it. This is a tinted lip balm that colors itself based on your ph of your lips, giving you a hint of color and lots of moisture. It has a minty smell/taste, which makes it very pleasant to put on.

I got a sample size of 1.8g, The full size comes in 12 colors, and are sold for 14.00$ for a bigger crayon stick full of product. I could see myself splurging on these and buying nearly every color, because I do love them that much. The color is like a my lips but better color. In Love!!

This product has made me want to try other pixi beauty products, I can't wait to try more products from them. Have you tried these or other pixi beauty products? let me know and recommend me some awesome products! 

You can find these at pixibeauty.com or target, and target.com or anywhere that sells pixi beauty. 

Until next time, stay tuned for more beauty

Skin79 Super+ Triple Function BB Cream(Pink Packaging)

My Favorite BB Cream : Skin 79 Super+ Triple Function BB cream

This product contains 40g of product. I got it as a gift from a friend. It has three functions listed on the product they are whitening, spf protection, and it is a wrinkle free skin care product as well.  The spf is 25++ for protection from both uva and uvb rays attacking your skin. I use this instead of foundation all the time, as it has medium coverage on my skin. I use both fall/winter and spring/summer. You can find it on many asian beauty sites for 20-40$.

It has a slightly dewy finish when you put it on your skin, but if you pat the product in after applying it slightly mattifies the product on your face. most people don't put it on with fingers or put it on the right way so they say it never sets on their skin. If you use fingers/hands it melts the product slightly and really helps in getting to product into the skin and to have it set properly.

I have no problem with this looking greyish on my skin as I am very pale all the time.  It cancels out redness and blue under eye circles.

It covers all my imperfections and blemishes also. It does transfer a bit when your very sweaty or if it's super humid, but otherwise it holds up very well on my combo skin in the hotter months.

I am in love with this product, and I will continue to use bb creams and such for my skintype, I love trying out new bb creams(cc creams, asian skincare, ect.) Maybe there will be another bb cream review up soon! It is lightweight and suits my skin well.

People also have commented that my skin looks soo good and pretty when I am wearing this.

Any recommendations?? please let me know! :)

Stay tuned for more beauty goodness,
