Color Correctors

2016-02-22T19:11:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

We all know that color correction is gonna be this years theme in the beauty world. Finally we can move forward from Contouring. I am honestly bored out of my mind with contouring. Anyways, Color Correcting. What is that? Why do I need it? Can't my concealer do that already? I will try my best to keep it simple and straight forward. We've seen a lot of Instagramers and Youtube gurus use them but in my opinion some of them are using it incorrectly. Here's why....NOT EVERYONE NEEDS IT! yes, that is right, not everyone needs color correction on the skin. Now that I got that thought out of the way lets move along...

What is Color Correction? fantastic question!

-Color correction is simply using specific colors to neutralize the areas of the skin. Important not: ONLY if you need it. :)

Why do I need it?

- You will only need color correction if you have the following skin concerns: Dark Circles, Redness, Dark Spots and Sallowness/Dullness.

Can't my concealer do that already?

-If your skin concerns (as mentioned above) are more noticeable, concealer is not going to do the trick without you applying a thousand layers and be left with a pound of concealer on your face. Not only is it going to look unnatural but you'll also be left with a grey area that is only going to frustrate you even more.

Now that we got those questions out the way. Let's take a look at the types of concerns and the colors that will help neutralize them. KEEP IN MIND...skin tone plays a major role in choosing the correct color to neutralize.

If you're complaining that you have DULLNESS, well your solution is a BABY PINK corrector
If you're complaining that you have PURPLE dark circles or areas, well you need a BUTTERCREAM (aka yellow) corrector
If you're complaining that you have REDNESS, a MINT (aka green) corrector should do the trick
If you're complaining that you have BLUENESS on the skin, a PEACH corrector will neutralize the area
If you're complaining that you have SALLOW skin, a beautiful soft and gentle LILAC corrector will comfort your concern away.

We have the colors out the way but now we must find the proper format to choose for our concerns. If you have a particular concern all over an area the following will be ideal to use: Primer, Powder or Cream (skincare to correct that in the long term). For spots or targeted areas: Cream, Liquid or Palette will be ideal.

Remember I mentioned that skin tone plays a huge role in choosing a color, time to break down the concern and skintone.

UNDER EYE CIRCLES

--Side Note: you can include bruises

FAIR Skin with Purple/Reddish Circles: YELLOW. Green/Blue circles = PINK or APRICOT
LIGHT Skin with Purple/Reddish Circles: YELLOW. Green/Blue Circles= PINK or PEACH
MEDIUM Skin with Bluish/Brown: Mild concern=PEACH, Serious Concern= MELON to RED
DARK/DEEP skin with Bluish/Brown/Gray: Mild Concern= ORANGE, Serious Concern=RED

DARK SPOTS

--Side Note: Sun Damage, Pregnancy mask, Scarring, Birthmarks, Freckles

In this case the skin tone doesn't matter as much but instead the severity of the dark spot that you are trying to neutralize.

MILD => PEACH
MEDIUM => MELON
SEVERE => ORANGE

REDNESS

--Side Note: Acne, Rosacea, Sunburn, Birthmark, Broken Capillaries, Reactive Skin

MILD => YELLOW
MEDIUM-SEVERE => GREEN

SALLOWNESS

--Side Note: Natural undertone, sick. This basically means that the skin appears to have a yellow cast.

LIGHT to MEDIUM skin only => LAVENDER

DULLNESS

--Side Note: loss of radiance. I would say that Makeup Forever's Primers are the go to for this skin concern. They have a wider color range addressing the issue.

LIGHT => PINK
MEDIUM with RED Undertone => PINK
MEDIUM with YELLOW Undertone => PEACH
DEEP/DARK => MELON/ORANGE

ANNNNNDD there you have it! Hopefully all this information is helpful and help you decide which colors to choose for the specific skin concerns that you may have. Remember just because it's the trend doesn't mean that you need it. Be wise and only use if you need to address those concerns.

Until Next Time,

A little update...

2016-01-31T23:37:00.001-08:00

I have the tendency to start projects and never finish them...in this case, my blog has been left all alone for way too long. Partly was because I had an older computer and it was slowly dying (you did me well babygirl) and editing and uploading everything took forever and a day. Ok ok let's face it B, I actually fell out of love with the whole writing process and the time it took and just got plain lazy.

Anyways, I kept going back and forth about wether I was going to just completely give up on it or pick it up and try to be a little more consistent with it, obviously I decided to pick it back up :). Reading back at my posts I somewhat laugh at myself and the things I've said. Why may you ask? because though I thought I knew what I was talking about, I was clueless. Yes, my opinions still held true but I did not give any background info or some type of education on the product. But HEY! everything is a learning process, I am still not a master but I have definitely learned a whole lot this far. This time posts will be more taught out and informative in how to use the products I talk about and maybe give some tips and tricks I've learned along the way.

My current occupation is being a Beauty Consultant. I work for an awesome and fun company that I will not name because I want to keep my work life out of my personal/hobby life. But just know that I do get free products from work that I may end up talking about. As always, my opinions are my own and my personal feeling and experience with that certain product. Though I receive different types of products...I am a MAKEUP JUNKIE! I still spend hella $$ on stuff I see that I like/want. But what makeup junkie doesn't?? Well...hope you enjoy and pick up some helpful tips & tricks along the way.

Until Next Time,

My Skincare Essentials

2014-03-29T15:50:00.000-07:00

Hello Enchanted Beauties,

Do you find a skincare routine tedious and so annoying to do after a long day and all you want to do is go to sleep? Well GET OVER IT and Just DO IT! I cannot stress how IMPORTANT it is to your skin. We already put our face through hell by slapping countless stuff on during the day including the inevitable ones (sun, dirt, wind). By the end of the night our skin needs to breathe and we need to take care of it by cleaning out all the impurities and yucky stuff that reside on it. Besides the obvious skincare products that we need to keep a healthy radiant face, we also need some water in our system and avoid touching our faces with our hands. Always keep your body hydrated and keep the paws away and you'll be halfway there for a healthy looking skin :D These are just a few of the products I use on the daily to keep my face as clean as possible.

I currently have a specific routine that I do in the mornings and nighttime.

Morning Routine

Step One: Wet Face
Step Two: Cleanser and Clarasonic
Step Three: Toner
Step Four: Serum
Step Five: Moisturizer with SPF

Nighttime Routine

Step One: Take off all Makeup using Makeup Remover wipes and Eyemakeup Remover for eyes
Step Two: Cleanser and Clarisonic
Step Three: Toner
Step Four: Oil Treatment
Step Five: Eye Cream

I usually do not use a night cream because the oil treatment is enough for my skin to be moisturized throughout the night. I only use a night cream when my skin is being weird and has dry patches here and there. I am very oily in the T-Zone area and normal on the rest of my face so I rarely have to use a heavy duty cream to keep me hydrated.

Products

Tool: Clarisonic MIA!! OMG best investment of my life. Not only does it make it so much easier for me to get it done in one minute but it really takes out all the extra makeup that my makeup wipes did not grab. I love love LOVE this tool. I honestly suggest everyone invest in one. It'll change your skincare routine life :D

Removers: Makeup Wipes are my to go thing, I just love how easily they take off my makeup and of course if you've read my previous posts I love the Neutrogena ones in the Blue package but when I don't have those I settle for whatever I have. My Favorite liquid eye make remover is Lancome Bi-Facil. This baby does an amazing job with my They're Real Mascara that is so friggin' stubborn to take off.

Cleanser: I don't have a specific brand that I am committed to at the moment. I have so many samples of different ones that I'm trying to use up before I actually buy a specific one. I use Shiseido Ibuki Glentle Cleanser, Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask, Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser, Algenist Gentle Rejuvenating Cleanser and Lancome Creme Radiance Clarifying Cream-to Foam Cleanser. I do have a preference in type though, I prefer cream ones over gel type cleansers.

Toner: I used to use Clinique's Clarifying Lotion #3 on the daily before I received a bunch of samples of other brands. I didn't find it very effective though, it is suppose to control your oil and blah blah blah but I didn't notice any changes. I currently use Clinique Acne Solution Clarifying Lotion only when I see that I am getting blemishes continuously. I only use it at night time though. This product is too harsh for my skin and it dries me out super fast if used regularly. Other then that one I use Lancome Tonique Radiance for Normal/Combination Skin, Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate and Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softner Enriched in the morning and night when I don't need to use the acne solutions one.

Serum: Normally I wouldn't use a serum but once again I've received a bunch of samples of different ones but the one that I have liked the most is Lancome Dreamtone. It is a dark spot corrector but i honestly don't see any effects in that sense, what I love about it is that my skin is extremely soft after using it for a couple days straight day and night. The following I have used them but don't think they make a difference on my skin whatsoever. Lancome Genefique and Visionnaire, and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

Oil Treatment: I just recently got in the bandwagon of this trend. I don't have any full size ones at the moment. I did buy the Tarte Maracuja one long time ago but ended up not liking it because it broke me out. So I stopped using it. I got a deluxe sample of the Nude ProGenius treatment oil recently from Sephora and use it at night time instead of a night cream. It feels nice on the skin and in the morning my skin is very hydrated but it being an oil i feel like my skin gets oilier. Not too sure if I will be using a permanent one in the future once I run out of this one.

Eye Cream: Another product that I don't favor or have a favor. I don't have puffiness (unless i cry) or dark circles (even when I lack sleep). So for me this is not a step that is necessary in my routine. I put it when I remember at night time. Ive used Shiseido Ibuki and White Lucent lines, Lancome High Resolution Eye, Benefit eye cream (which I don't remember the name because I hate it, it burns my eyes for some reason) and Clarins.

Moisturizer: I should have a favorite of tho product because its very important to keep the skin hydrated and all but in all honesty i've used so many moisturizers from drug store ones to high end. The one that I know i've used off and on again is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (runs out of breath) AKA the yellow one. Geez Clinique why are your product names so friggin' long?! Another one that I started out with was Estee Lauder DayWear back in my teen years. My mom used to buy it for me but once I had to buy it for myself and saw the price I was like ummm yeah i'll just go to cvs and buy a regular one lol (I was in college without an income). I recently got deluxe sample jar of it again for the daytime and remember how friggin amazing it feels. I love that stuff, I'm thinking of actually making that one my favorite moisturizer again. Other then that, like I said I've used drugstore brands like Olay, Palmers and some other one that I can't remember at the moment. High end ones i've used Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital and Absolue (before I found out that it was for old ladies. the product was given to me lol) Shiseido Ibuki and White Lucent lines, L'Occitane face cream, Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus, and Ska-II (sample) aside from it being extremely expensive, it's super rich but i didn't like it at all because it made me oily as heck! Note: I usually don't use any anti aging moisturizers because I feel like my skin doesn't need all that junk right now. i should start thinking about it but I won't use any of it until I am like 30. Yes, I know that anti-aging things help you prevent them and blah blah blah but what about when I do start getting wrinkles? I have to find something that is 3x stronger then the anti-aging product that I would currently use. No no No...that's just ridiculous to me, so no prevention needed for me for now. :D

On a final note: Please Please Please ALWAYS remember to wear SPF during the day. It doesn't matter if you are indoors most of the time. Sun damage is the number one cause of aging skin. So slap some of that on before you head out the house. NO, your foundation SPF is not enough to protect you from it. Don't be lazy and put some on :D

Alright, this post ran a little longer then I had expected but I gave you a full insight of the things that I use to keep my face as clean and healthy as possible. Thanks for reading this loooong post :D

Until Next Time,
Dannely

Quick Thoughts: Palettes Edition

2014-03-17T16:14:00.002-07:00

Hello beauty world,

I've been wanting to blog about something lately but I just couldn't seem to find the time or energy to sit down and write it down. I've been having a stressful/busy life lately. Anyways, decided to give a quick thoughts on my 4 most recent palettes that i've acquired in the past 4 to 5 months. I am not going to do swatches because they have been overly reviewed on the internet, so pictures of swatches are everywhere for you to take a look at them (sorry, being lazy here lol) Let's get down to it...

Let's begin with the infamous Naked 3 from Urban Decay. When I first found out about this palette, I was over the moon with excitement. It seemed quite promising and loved the fact that it was rose hues. As soon as it was available at Sephora.com I was all over it and placed my order immediately. I could not wait to get it in the mail and play with it. All that excitement lasted about a week after I received it. Don't get me wrong, the colors are beautiful but when it comes to eyeshadows I am extremely picky on how pigmented they are. This palette has a few shades that are just not good enough for me to love the palette as a whole. In order for me to say: "yes, i recommend it, it's a must buy" the palette as a whole has to be very pigmented. I love Urban Decay and i don't have a problem with the other palettes that I own from them but this one is just not my favorite and I do not find myself reaching for it. The shades that I am not completely happy with and wish that could be better: Dust, Burnout, Nooner, Buzz, and Limit. That is almost half the palette! All in all, if you're not as picky with the performance of a palette as a whole and want to add rose hues to your collection, I say give it a try but it is NOT a must for me.

Now that I got the bad sheep out the way let's go into a palette that I am LOVING!!! You have no idea how many times I went back and forth fighting myself not to buy it because I already have enough neutral palettes. But all of a sudden ulta came out with their Rockin' Red something something set that was $39 and I knew I could not pass up on it. That set included the Pro Palette and a pen liner, which I also like a lot. The is a well put together and a greatly executed product. I've never tried anything Lorac until I purchased this. The pigmentation of the shadows is AMAZING!!! Usually a matte finish is very difficult to come by in terms of blending once it's on the eyes but the 8 matte shadows on this palette are so silky smooth and blend beautifully with one another. Of course shimmery shadows are much easier to blend and the smooth texture combined with the amount of shimmer that these shadows have make it so much easier to achieve a flawless look each time. This is definitely my go to palette for my signature semi brown smokey eye look that I usually do as an everyday look and I've noticed that i've already made a significant dent on the first two colors on the top (White & Cream) and the first two colors from the bottom row (Nude & Champagne). Lorac needs to make those two colors in full size (or do they already have them?? don't know, i haven't looked into the brand in depth) Though, I love the quality of all shadows and the color selection, the only color I wish could be a little more gold is the shade "Gold" I feel like it's a bit too dark to be a gold. I gravitate towards golds a lot but I can't seem to like this one very much :/ Anyways, if you don't own any nude palettes or you just want neutral earthy tones to add to your collection...this is a must! Side note: these are warm tones so if you don't like warm tones on you, this is not the palette for you and I suggest you get the naked 2 instead.

After Loving the Pro Palette, my coworker suggested I look into the Pro to Go Palette that had your basic neutral shades plus bronzer and two blushes. At that time I was content with just owning the Pro Palette and didn't think this was a must to get as well. But then Sephora was on a cleansing from all Lorac products and saw that they were $8 dollars off from their original price and decided to buy it since I love the quality of the shadows already. I wasn't too sure about the Bronzer and Blush quality but I liked that they were matte. This is a great palette to have for traveling. You can definitely do day and night looks and have the other basic essentials for a complete face look. Though I don't have anything bad to say about it, I can't say that this is something that you need in your collection. If you have the Pro Palette, that should be enough. The blushes are very pretty and silky smooth and have a great lasting power but I cannot say the same about the bronzer. I absolutely love that they are matte finishes but the bronzer is a bit too light for me. This palette is a maybe, you should get it if you don't want to try the other Pro Palette. I don't find myself reaching for this one that much.

Lastly on the list is the Anarchy Face Case by Urban Decay. I initially did not care for it when it came out. I only bought it until Sephora had it on sale for $29 and I mostly bought it because I love the Highgloss Lip pencil that it comes with. The shadows are quite nice and as usual, Urban Decay does a great job with the color combinations and quality of their shadows except that rosy tone shadow. I have a hard time using that one because it's so sheer and extremely glittery. But I love the silver shade that this palette comes with. The blushes are kind of funky and I don't see myself wearing them that often, I'm not much of a blush person in the first place but the bright pink one is a bit too much for me. Aside from the funky colors of the blushes, I feel like they are not smooth enough to apply them evenly on my skin. I don't use them quite often. The highlighter is great though, I love that it gives you that accented shimmer on your cheekbones but it's not overpowering that you can see it right off the bat unless you are under a light. The perversion pencil, I could care less for it. I don't like UD eye pencils because they glide off me quite fast, so I am a MAC Smolder fan for life :D Overall, this palette is a good value at the price that I payed for. I wouldn't have paid full price for it. It's definitely fun and had everything you need for a complete look. Is it a must have? not at all, like i said I mostly purchased it because of the lip product, which is full size :D

So there you have it, a quick glance on my most recent palettes that i've acquired. All in all, the Lorac Pro Palette is worth giving it a try if you haven't already done so. The rest are eh and could be passed on to better palettes but me being the eyeshadow junkie that I am I buy these things to try out and just have :D Thanks for reading...

Influenster Gillette Venus Embrace Sensitive VoxBox

2014-01-23T16:27:00.000-08:00

At the end of December I received an email from Influenster asking me to take a survey to see if I was to be selected for the following VoxBox for the Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor. I was beyond excited and of course took the survey. To my surprise I was selected and was told that they would send it to be within a few days.

Finally received it at the beginning of January (I know super late post) I didn't use it right away because I had just shaved so I waited for a bit before opening it. When I did get around to using it I was amazed at the performance that it had. I consider myself to have sensitive skin, so finding something like this is a big deal. I currently use the BIC Soleil Savvy Disposable Razor and I thought it was fine for my skin but I have noticed that every time I shaved, it not only dried me out and oft some bumps on my skin but it itched like crazy! In addition, if i wasn't careful enough while shaving I would cut myself really easy.

The Venus Embrace Sensitive feels so much better on my skin as I don't need to be that careful and with one swipe all those prickly hairs are gone but BEST of all is that I am not itchy after shaving. The only downside to it is that I will need to replace the blades, which could get a little expensive overtime but if the itching is gone, I am all for it. Will definitely purchase the blades. Thinking about it maybe that hint of aloe has something to do it. hummmm????

Thank you Influenster for sending me this! :D

Until Next Time,

Life Update

2013-11-01T13:03:00.003-07:00

I usually do not do these BUT I felt it needed to be done to address the lack of blog entries written in the past weeks. My life has become a bit busy lately with my new job. My energy levels after getting home from work is about 0 and all I want to do is sleep. When I do have days off all I wanna do is sleep and the errands that need to be done. I do have a couple thoughts to share on some products that i've bought lately. Hopefully I can put up some entries once i've used them enough. Bare with me because work is about to get even crazier for the holidays but I love being around what I am passionate for, sharing tips with my clients and getting to know people. :D Grateful for this new opportunity and enhancing my knowledge and skills. I am a step closer to accomplishing my ultimate goal :D

Until Next Time,

Product Rave. "Lumene Finland: Sensitive Touch Gentle Cleansing Wipes"

2013-10-20T21:00:00.001-07:00

I am back with a short product rave! I've previously raved about the Neutrogena Wipes in the blue package. I still LOVE those but I haven't gone to Costco in a while to repurchase the pack at a better price then they are sold in store. Anyways, my mom uses the skin brand "Lumene Finland" and purchased a couple of products and apparently she got two pack of these for free. She doesn't use make up on the daily, so she ended up passing them down to me. I've seen them at Target and CVS and they interested me but the price wasn't that appealing lol $8 bucks for a few, I was like ummm no thanks, even though i've bought MAC wipes for a lot more money lol. Yes, I can be a contradiction.

Anyways, I put them to the test to see how well they worked. I usually use two wipes of whatever I have to completely take off my makeup when I am using dark colors and lots of Mascara. I use Benefit They're Real Mascara and if you've tried it, you know it's not only amazing but that amazingness comes at a price. It's kind of difficult to take off. So I began with half of the wipe for each side of the face and I was instantly amazed!! They work so amazingly. I didn't have to use another one to completely take off my makeup. I was sold! They are very soft which i am not too crazy about because I tend to cringe when i feel the softness on a makeup wipe for some strange reason. But for those with sensitive skin, they are perfect!

These wipes do not have a scent and they definitely not hurt your eyes unlike other brands i've used. All in all, I say these are worth getting if you do use heavy makeup on the daily. They will definitely be worth the money but if you don't use that much makeup a regular baby wipe is completely fine.

I give them a 4.50/5 (just because the softness makes me cringe a little and the price is not too friendly for a drugstore brand.

Until Next Time,

Random "Looks"

2013-10-03T16:41:00.000-07:00

I wanted to compile pictures of some of the makeup looks i've done on myself in the past but once I started looking through my pictures, I decided not to do any chronological looks because I wasn't too happy with the pictures themselves. LOL, you know us girls are super picky when it comes to selecting a picture that we like so I am just going to put up my 6 favorites from oldest to newest. I'll keep in mind to take good pictures of future looks so I can start building a portfolio. :D Enjoy.

Turquoise is simply my most favorite color to wear, so I am sorry for the repetition.

Drugstore Products "Show & Tell"

2013-10-01T22:25:00.000-07:00

WHATTTTT??? B shopping for makeup at the drugstore? lol...yes, I am even surprised. As i've stated before, I have been let down many times by the quality of certain drugstore brands so I usually do not purchase anything from there. But I actually went into Walgreens to see the e.l.f. villains collection and walked out with one product which was from the Fergie collection put out by Wet n Wild. I then went in search for the L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense at CVS and I was out of luck, so from there I walked out with an Alway Liquid Liner and the Out the Door Top Coat (recommendation from MakeupbyTiffanyD). I then ended up at Target and did not find the friggin L'Oreal liner either. Since Ulta is literally next to it I went in to browse around. ARGHHH it was bad going to the prestige side, I really wanted to buy the Lorac Pro Palette but I opted out because I own too many neutral shades and I have both UD Naked Palettes. Didn't need anymore. Anyways I finally found the L'Oreal Liner I was looking for and saw an NYX eyeshadow in the clearance section that I liked so I totally got it :D
Coming back home, I researched a little more on the Fergie Collection and saw that it was only available at Walgreens. Going on the website I saw that all of the products were on SALE plus an they had an extra site wide 15% off! I decided to get 3 more products that looked interesting and took advantage of also ordering some e.l.f products that i've been meaning to try. Now I haven't used these products extensively (i received the order today ^_^) so I can't really say much on how they perform but I did do a smokey look with the Fergie Eyeshadows in "Dutchess Lounge" and the highlighter powder, along with the e.l.f cream blush. Picture at the end. So here are some pictures and swatches. I'll probably do a "Thoughts" blog on some of the products once I use them enough.

I just realized that I had so much Excitement on the left picture :p

Until Next Time,

Redesigned MAC Pro Palettes

2013-09-11T22:44:00.000-07:00

I found out about the current redesigned pro palette not too long ago. I went online to see what people were saying and found that a lot of people did not like it because it's bulky compared to the old palettes. Which is true but since I am a somewhat neat freak when it comes to keeping my makeup in order I decided to give the Pro Palette Duo first. Keep in mind that you now have the option of buying them without inserts. Each insert costs $2 while the bare palette costs $8. That is quite inexpensive compared to the original price of $14 for the old version. Though the Duo palettes are not very convenient because you cannot see what is inside it BUT I was tired of opening and closing blushes/highlighters/bronzers from their individual containers. The duo palette was perfect to fit most of those products without any problems

The Duo palette has space on both sides with a clear divider in the middle to keep product from transferring to the other side. The neat thing is that the base of these palettes are magnetic, so all you have to do is place magnetic tape on whatever it is that you want in there and it'll stick. Now, I have everything that I need in one single palette and I am able to put all of them to use and not just reach for one like I used to do in their own containers. Another thing that I like is that they are deep, that means that if you have a dome shaped powder, blush or eyeshadow, it is going to fit!

After liking how my blushes/highlighters/bronzers fit, I was left with two Tarte palettes that were just too bulky and I never reached for them. So I decided to depot the shadows, which you can see that i did major damage to them because they were superglued to those packages like no other! :/ I lost a few Tarte shadows completely. I didn't feel like repressing them again, so I just threw them away. After I kinda went a little crazy depotting some single shadows that I had. By having them in one single palette, i am able to use them more often and not just have shadows sitting around in my little drawers.

After I first tried out the Duo Palette I went back to the MAC store and purchased the other duo palette where my Tarte shadows are and decided to get a Single Pro Palette. These are so neat because they are clear in the front, which allows you to see what is inside instead of having them color coded like I did with the old all black palettes. Yes, they are taller then the original slim ones, but in length they are a little smaller. I would of preferred them to be slimmer like the old ones but you cannot get a see through palette (besides the Z palette) for $8 a piece.

Top: Old Palette Bottom: New Single Palette

Overall, I am happy with MAC's new design of the Pro Palette's. The only downsize is that they are a little bulkyer and as usual they get dirty so fast but for someone as OCD as me when it comes to having my makeup organized, they do a pretty good job and for the price, they are very much worth it.

Too Faced Loves Sephora Palette: Thoughts

2013-09-07T19:32:00.001-07:00

I will never call a post a "review" for two reasons: a) I feel like a review is an affiliated product that was sent by a company to people for consideration b) the products that I have, are bought because I have liked them and given them a chance to test out how they work on me. So here are my thoughts on this beautiful palette.

I did not buy this palette the same day I saw it at Sephora. I swatched it and it was beautiful. I was amazed at the pigmentation that most of the shadows have. I have a habit of sometimes purchasing things out of impulse, so I double thought about it and came back home without. I did a little research on the brand quality (yes, it's high end but not all high end brands are impressive) because I don't own anything that is made by Too Faced. I've been wanting to try the Chocolate Soleil Bronzer for a while now, so in all honesty it was the bronzer that made me go back and buy it. Yes, the shadows colors are beautiful and all but when you have almost every color in the rainbow already, these aren't as unique. But I didn't mind having a few dupes.

This palette contains 10 eyeshadows (0.06 oz/each) total : 8 base colors in (So Cal, TG <3's The Cast, Jer Jer, 525 Market, SOHO, Envy, David & Marg and 1998) and 2 transitional colors in (Piano Keyes & Behind the Counter). 2 Bronzers (0.14 oz/each) : Chocolate Soleil and Sun Bunny. 1 Blush (0.14 oz): Who's Your Poppy?. 1 Flatbuki Brush and 1 sample of Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer/Base. Oh and I almost forgot the Glamorous Guide that has looks you can achieve but I am a rebel and never ever use them.

Piano Keys: Ivory-Beige with small silver sparkles. I find this shadow to be on the chalky side. As a swatch it has a strong finish but once you apply it, it's a bit more sheer. Which is understandable because it's purpose is to be a highlight color.
Behind the Counter: Matte Soft Brown. The pigmentation is okay, not too bad but not the greatest of the bunch. Can be used as a transition/blending out colors.

Both transitional colors are adequate. Although, I would of preferred Piano Keys without any glitter. I like using Behind the Counter as a outer creese color for a soft smokey look.

Top
So Cal: Soft Pinky coral.
TF <3's The Cast: Foily olive/gold

Bottom
SOHO: Soft Lavender
Envy: Deep Eggplant-ish Purple

*Sorry I swatched them in the wrong order as the pictures :D

Left to Right: 525 Market, Jer Jer, TF <3's The Cast, and So Cal.

-So Cal is a pretty soft coral-ly pink. It swatches and applies a little bit sheer but the pigmentation could of been a little stronger. I am not saying it's bad but it's not super amazing like it's neighbor TF <3's The Cast.
-TF <3's The Cast is a color unlike any I own. I love love it. On the pan it looks sort of gold but swatched it has a olive tone. It's super pigmented and just beautiful.
-Jer Jer is a gold with a little hint of bronze in my view. It's super pigmented and applies beautifully.
- 525 Market is a dark reddish brown. I know it swatches straight out dark brown but once it is on the lid you can see the subtle hints of red.

Top
Jer Jer: Gold with a hint of bronze
525 Market: Deep Brown/red

Bottom
David & Marg: Light Turquoise *reminds me of MAC's Steamy
1998: Pink/Purple with silver glitter.

Left to Right: 1998, David & Marg, Envy and SOHO.
-1998 is a really pretty color overall. I think this color was another reason I ended up buying this palette. I don't have a color that comes close to it. It applies somewhat smooth but you really have to pack it on in order to achieve its true color and another downside is that it can come of somewhat chalky and there is lots of fall off.
- David & Marg is your standard light turquoise in my opinion. It's smooth, applies beautiful and super pigmented.
- Envy in my opinion is not such a unique color either but its a pretty deep purple. Very pigmented and applies well.
-SOHO is a light lavender. Very sheer and not really my favorite but it would look really nice on dark complexions.

Left: Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

Middle: Sun Bunny Bronzer

Right: Who's Your Poppy? Blush

Chocolate Soleil Bronzer has a matte finish. This is the product that drove me to buy this palette but I feel like it's a bit on the orangy side for my skin tone. I am not dissapointed with it but I am still on the hunt for my perfect bronzer to contour my face with.

Sun Bunny Bronzer is such a pretty bronzer. The bottom portion of it is buildable and so is the top but I mean for contouring purposes.The top can be used as a highlight but it works as a bronzer too if you want to achieve a subtle finish. They are so smooth and super pigmented. If my face weren't so oily I would use it more often. Might be perfect in the winter for my skin type.

Who's Your Poppy? is a pinky coral but on the pinker side. It has shimmer and it reminds me of NARS Orgasm but a shade or two lighter. It's sheer with one swipe but definitely buildable. Again, for me it'll work in the winter but not so much in the summer.

As for the brush that is comes with, it sucks! But I am not surprised because most of the small sized brushes that palettes bring are horrible and useless, well except the ones that Urban Decay have. As for the shadow insurance primer. It's just a primer. Nothing special. Primers are good but I can't say that I have a favorite one.

Final Thought: The overall value of this palette is great considering that the eyeshadows are full size. The bronzers & blush are less then half the full size but still a very good amount for the $52 prize tag. I am very impressed with the pigmentation of the shadows. The texture reminds me of MAC Veluxe Pearl finish, which I love because a little goes a long way and it's so velvety smooth. I am happy with the purchase. I can't say it's a MUST have but if you are starting out and want a colorful eyeshadows and try some of their bronzers and blush at the same time, go for it. It says that it is limited but for being a limited edition product it has been on the website for quite a few months now. I am not sure how long it will last but I believe in store they don't have it anymore. Hope you enjoyed and helped you a little to decide if you want to purchase it.

Until Next Time,

Dannely

Collective Show & Tell (April 2013-Present)

2013-08-18T00:32:00.001-07:00

I haven't posted in a while because I felt like I had nothing to talk about or share. BUT I am back with a Show & Tell that started a couple months ago :) I've done a little bit of damage on some products that I've been wanting/replacing/new found staples/ trying. Before I show all the stuff, I just want to say that yes, I spend money on high end products most of the time because I rather pay for something of QUALITY that will not only last me a long time but it will also last on my face for the whole day. Of course I've tried drugstore products before, I just don't like them (most of them) or like how they perform with my skin. They're just not that worth it to me. AND no I am not saying that high end products perform well all the time. I would be lying if I said that because I have ran into some high end products that sucked. Any who, here it goes in somewhat chronological order since April to my most recent stuff. Enjoy :D

Humid (dark green) and Electric Eel (Neon Blue/green) because they broke out of the pan and wanted new ones to complete my palettes =] Ahhhhh! words could not express the happiness I felt when I opened the package with all these goodies last week! =] Thank you lovely cousin of mine. I <3 you! :) And what is the other best part about all this besides having fun with the colors? I got to depot them and have enough empties for FOUR more shades! ahhh I Love it! I'm a happy girl. :)

Product Rave: Organix Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo/Conditioner

2012-04-20T14:48:00.002-07:00

I've Never been a fan of a specific brand of hair care product (high end or drugstore) until recently. I've seen a lot of raves and praises for the most popular scent of Organix products, which is the Coconut Milk one and I tried it but never liked it. That specific one always dries my hair out more then it already is and I feel that the conditioner is not enough to leave my hair smooth and detangled.

I was strolling through CVS about 2 months ago and picked up the Organix: Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo and smelled it. I instantly fell in love with it but then I remembered how bad the Coconut ended up being and put it down. I came back home and did a little research on what other people thought of it and decided it to give it a go.

I know they say you can't judge anything on the first try but to me first impressions are pretty important. I was in love how well this specific shampoo and conditioner worked with my hair! It didn't only smell amazing but I also felt that the shampoo left my hair squeeky clean and residue free. The conditioner has to be one of my favorite conditioners because it is thick and moisturizes my hair a lot more then other brand conditioners that are not "deep conditioner masks". I must note that I have toooonnssss of hair and it isn't easy to please with just any shampoo. Not only do I have it long but it is also damaged from all the recent coloring i've done recently and it's thick. This shampoo has helped my hair go from weak and easy to fall off to a lot stronger.

I've been using it for about two months now (with the exception of a deep conditioner to repair my hair from all the damage) and it continues to leave my hair smelling yummy and manageable. I am not completely sold on the shine part because I haven't seen a difference in the shinyness of my hair but it doesn't look dull either. Overall, I would definitely recommend you to try this product. Obviously, different products work for some and not other's BUT if you don't like it, you can always return it.

What I love about it:
-Smell
-Feel of my Hair
-Color Safe
-For any type of hair

What I Don't:
-Kinda Pricey for a drugstore brand
-Doesn't help much with shine

Claims:
This sensual and alluring blend of cherry blossom extracts and Asian ginseng root helps rejuvenate the scalp and hair follicle to add volume at the root while nourishing your hair with replenishing rice milk and bamboo extract for hydration and shine.

Price:
$6.99 each
*price varies by store, I usually get it from Safeway when they have a BOGO sale for $6.29

My Rate:
4.5/5 because it hasn't helped with the shine on my hair.

Beauty Essentuals: Respecting Your Skin

2011-12-13T20:55:00.000-08:00

The key to beautiful skin (besides drinking a lot of water and eating properly) is how you take care of it. I've noticed that a lot of girls (and guys) are so damn lazy. Girls primarily, I don't care if you are too damn drunk to or too tired to take off your makeup at the end of the night, just do it. It's not a difficult process. Every time you leave your makeup on overnight you aren't allowing your skin to rejuvenate and breathe. You're allowing your pores to eat away the remaining products that you placed that day sink deep into your skin. This applies even more when your skin is bad already. It makes it worst.

I have found that a simple makeup wipe doesn't do the trick in clearing everything from your face. You must use a cleanser or exfoliate to get rid of all your makeup. I also suggest that you exfoliate your face at least twice a week. By doing this, you are clearing away your dead skin cells and making room for new ones.

My Face Routine

1. Take off all Makeup With makeup Wipe

2. Rinse your face with the hottest water you can take

3. Use a cleanser/scrubber to exfoliate your skin

4.Rinse with cold water to close your pores.

5.Pat Dry

6. Apply Moisturizer or night cream.

As long as you follow these steps every time you wear makeup, your skin should look younger and healthier. Of course like I said above, you must eat a balanced meal and drink a lot water too. I cannot go to sleep without washing my face, the days that I don't wear makeup i use a cream or liquid cleanser to remove excess oil from throughout the day. Since I do exfoliate more then twice a week, I don't have the need to do any type or treatments like masks or the lemon scrub one which is harsher on your skin but leaves it sooooo smooth and squeaky clean.I do recommend doing some masks or treatments such as the lemon one once a week. You'll definitely see a huge improvement on your skins smoothness and glow.

Hope this helps just a little bit and that you wash your face on a daily basis even when you don't use makeup.

Xoxo,
Dannely

Sigma Brush: Synthetic Sigmax Face Kit

2011-11-20T17:12:00.000-08:00

I am back with a super super late "My Thoughts" segment. I know that these brushes have been overly reviewed by many guru's/bloggers BUT I have found that almost all have been sent these brushes for consideration and that to me basically means "hey imma give you free stuff now say something good about us". I know that some bloggers may be trusted/don't give in to the "fame" but when you have taken blogging as a full time job, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Anyways, I was really skeptical to actually spend my own money on them and let them be crap just like some of the Crown brushes are. I was in dire need of face brushes for contouring, liquid makeup application (bc i hate hate the flat foundation brush) and a blush brush. Now, I don't own any professional brushes/kit but i know that there are less pricier brushes out there that do the same job or even better but these brushes, I got to say, are worth the money. They only come in a little bag with information about the brushes and how you should take care of them. The brand new smell is kinda nasty but once you wash them, you should be fine. They give you a free blending brush to try which isn't very good bc once I washed it became so fluffy but it helps with the blending a lot lol

F80- Flat Kabuki

I mostly use this brush for blush but it can also be used as a contouring brush. The brittles are soft and dense enough to pick up product easily. It doesn't shed any hairs unless you are going to tug/pull on them.

F82- Round Kabuki
This one is great for my liquid foundation and I don't think I would use it for anything else then that. It blends foundation really well. Depending on the kinda of foundation you use, it must be blended fast because it can get streaky if you don't. The bristles are denser then the other two brushes which is suppose to hold liquid foundation on the tip of the brush instead of sicking in. I really don't see the difference that much bc it soaks in my foundation and I have to pump out more to cover my face. Not only that, it takes forevvvverrrr to dry since it's so compact.

F84- Angled Kabuki

I love love loveee this brush for contouring. I bought this kit primarily for this brush. the density of this brush is "medium". not too soft yet not as dense as the F82. This one is also a little difficult to dry because the bristles are more densely packed. I usually use a hair drier to dry them. haha i know, i know it's bad but w.e. it gets the job done.

Overall Thoughts
Like I said, I don't own any professional or pricier brushes and at first i thought they were expensive since the company was new in the market still and not as high end but to my surprise it lives up to its name of great quality brushes. The only thing that I have against them is that they don't dry that fast. Also, I believe that this specific kit i bought no longer exists, they have now added a tapered brush for about four more dollars, which is a pretty good deal. Another thing that I dislike about the company is their shipping. Shipping is expensive and they don't have a buy $50 or more and get free standard shipping which really sucks and makes me not wanna buy from them anymore. But in the future I am thinking of giving the professional kit a try and see how that goes. The price of this kit was $52 dollars, for 3 brushes in my mind is kind of expensive but once you get them and get a feel for them, they are worth every penny.
