NARS GALAPAGOS New Formula?

2013-07-05T20:55:00.000-07:00

NARS GALAPAGOS has been on my wish list for awhile and I just never got it. I would ponder back and fourth "Oh I have something similar probably" and then just pass it up. Well I went to Sephora and picked it up. When I got home I opened my shadow and noticed that there wasn't that CHUNKY glitter it is known to have it is more finely milled this makes me wonder if NARS has changed the shadow a bit. The girl at Sephora had told me in the past that companies re-formulate things every so often. The texture is so smooth and like butter. Today I wore this color just on it's own "blew" it out to make it look like more color then went in with a pencil brush and added more depth.

Now I went online and looked at this swatch from another blogger lauragarciacues.blogspot.com
and hers looked more chunky

and below are my pictures

You can see the "glitter" with this swatch but when applied it's just a twinkle i LOVE IT! it was in my Friday favorites Watch here and i'm wearing it.

if you own Galapagos from a couple years back is yours like mine with a more fine milled shimmmer? let me know!!

Loreal Liquid To Powder and Loreal CC cream Review

2013-07-04T14:53:00.001-07:00

I was intrigued like most people about this new Loreal Liquid to Powder "foundation" we will get to why i have the foundation is quotation marks. You get .9 fluid oz not quite one ounce I found that to be a bit of a bummer since so much product comes out. When you read the back of the bottle it tells you that this is a sunscreen and needs to be applied every two hours. If you are going to be in water or sweating you need a base or a primer since this is NOT waterproof
The product is very liquid like water, like an airbrush makeup foundation. When you pour it on to your hands you get a good amount since there is no pump. Loreal also says not recommended for use with a brush or sponge so use your fingers. If you are going to be applying this every two hours that in itself is a bit of a hassle.Now you can see why I put foundation in quotations because I feel it's just a liquid colored SPF. So far I've just used it as a foundation and have had no problems it takes about 15 minutes to set which on the back of the bottle says to put on 15 minutes prior to going outside the spf is 18. I like the product it hides my dark circles so no need for concealer for me. I feel like this is an out the door product and really good for the beach,going grocery shopping ect. You can put the rest of your makeup on and set it and it will last a decent amount of time. If you put your hand on your face you can feel the product kind of rub off so it does transfer so make sure to set it. I might repurchase. I do like it, and it feels velvety on the skin. I will be using this more as a base with my foundations and using the tips mentioned below.
TIPS
use this as a base and then put on a foundation for more longevity.
Mix this with other foundations to get your spf in there
Mix to darken or lighten a foundation.

Moving on to the Loreal revita lift CC cream so I have been using Rachel K cc cream and LOVE it the Rachel K is just a tad thicker as the Loreal CC cream has more of a slip but not much. You get 1 fluid ounce and you don't need much to put on it has small little beads that you can't even feel that give you a hint of color,but not much just evens out your skin tone which I personal like because I use the CC cream as a primer and a base. It has 5 anti aging benefits with vitamin C. I actually really like this and would repurchase

The Many Uses Of Ivory soap

2012-07-10T11:09:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone I can't believe I have not been blogging, but I have some awesome an awesome product I would like to share with you. So about two weeks ago I received the momvoxbox from Influenster check it out YOU WILL LOVE IT. One of the products that I was sent was the Ivory pure clean simple soap. I'm not the type who goes out and purchases bar soap it leaves my skin dry. Needless to say I was skeptical about even using it, but hey I gave it a shot. I took a shower and washed my face with the soap and IT DID NOT leave a tight feeling to my skin at all. It has a lot more uses than just "soap" you can use it for laundry,face,body,to remove stains AND MY FAVORITE...It's great at removing self tanner so if you put a little too much on use the Ivory pure clean simple soap and you will be happy not to have a streaky tan! also a little lemon juice helps too! Honestly I love the soap and I'm not a soap lover so many uses you can't go wrong with purchasing this product plus it's cheap WITH AMAZING QUALITY

received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster and Ivory as a participant in the Mom VoxBox campaign

ALL OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS ARE MY OWN AS ALWAYS I GIVE HONEST REVIEWS.

Golden Beach Bronze Godess!

2012-04-20T12:24:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year we are getting out our swimsuits and heading for the beach so I thought I would do a tutorial.

Imagine walking the beach with your loved one on a romantic evening hearing the beautiful waves roar, smelling the saltwater..leaving footprints in the sand..all while your sweetheart is looking at your beautiful face as it glows in the evening sunset. Does that NOT sound romantic? sure sounds like it to me!

What i used on my face Origins Vitazing with Mangosteen moisturizer spf 15 it's tinted and goes with any skin tone i love it! So i used that in place of foundation.
I prepped my skin with MAC face and body lotion, Smashbox wrinkle filler and pore perfecter just where i needed it,and Laura Gheller's Spackle.
For my eyes i used Twofaced eyeshadow insurance we don't want our eyeshadow to crease!! also Mac's painterly paint pot. I used my Naked one and Naked 2 Pallet
Eye colors- Sin, Virgin,halfbaked,naked,and blackout.
I used Loreals Kajal pencil in BLACK and my NYX jumbo fat eyeliner marker I love that thing!
On my cheekbones i used MAC's limited edition Whisper of Gilt that is whats giving me the "glow"
on my cheeks i used Laura Gheller's babycakes collection Watch to see what i did with the blush..
then to bronze and contour i used Twofaced chocolate soulie YUMMY
Lips i used a Mac lipstick, that i literally have had for years it's a bronzey nude the name was smudged off i do know that it was a frost lipstick.

Make sure to stop by my YouTube Channel and subscribe I'm editing the video now! here is a link to my page

Keep your Jeans NEW!

2012-04-16T14:06:00.000-07:00

So you saw my recent haul video right? If not go and take a look.

At The Buckle store I was hunting for a good pair of jeans and found some! I have to say their customer service is AMAZING! Free hemming well it better be for 90 dollar jeans right? LOL anyways wash your jeans inside out, and a little bit of vinegar to the wash and don't dry your jeans, hang them, if you want you can dry them to make them a little snug if need be. I gotta say these jeans give me the best ass ever!
