Caress's Sheer Twilight Body Wash Review

2011-07-28T07:54:00.001-04:00

I was recently sent this new Caress body wash to try out by the great people at Rocket XL.....

It's Caress's new Sheer Twilight body wash in Black Orchid and Juniper Oil scent.

As you can see I've used quite alot of it already! This body wash smells amazing!!!

It lathers up very silky and luxriously and fills your shower with the lovely scent of Black Orchid and Juniper. Mmm :)

Once you rinse it off, it leaves your skin clean and silky smooth! It also leaves a slight scent on your skin afterwards which is great too!

I love using this body wash at night, leaves you smelling so nice for bed! :) This would be a great pre date body wash to use since the scent is so nice and sultry! ;0)

I definately recommend that you guys give this body wash a try! I love Caress body washes from all the ones I have tried, Caress always leaves my skin smooth and smelling good after the shower.

I currently have another Caress body wash in Tahitian Renewal which I was using before I got this, which is such a great tropical scent and has little exfoliating beads, which are great for summer skin!!!

CVS Haul :)

2011-04-18T22:59:00.001-04:00

I stopped by CVS the other day to pick up some more lippies and nail polish, and here's what I got:

-Jergens Natural Glow in fair to medium tones, this was 2/$15
I love using this stuff in the summer to add color when I don't have a tan yet... Especially on my pale legs! :$
- 4 Sally Hansen Xtreme polishes in Green with Envy, Carribbean Coral, Sun Kissed and Pacific Blue, these were on sale for $1.99 each! I may go back for more since its so cheap! And I've never tried the Xtreme polishes beforr but I know Sally Hansen makes good polishes!
-2 Cover Girl lippies in Siren and Fairytale, love these! Colors are gorgeous, they are super smooth and the color is pretty long lasting, it almost stains your lips like a lip stain so it lasts :)
These were kinda pricey at $6 even on sale, for a drugstore brand. But I like them! I may pick up more colors on a better sale.

And I had 2 CVS coupons and extra bucks for like $9 off so I got all this for about $26, not bad! :)

What have u guys scored lately at the drugstore??

Target Beauty Sample Bag

2011-03-23T15:21:00.001-04:00

A while ago on Twitter I saw NouveauCheap tweet about a Target Beauty Sample Bag so I went over and signed up, who can pass up a bag of freebies! :)
Today I get home and check my mailbox and it came!

Inside the box is a Sonia Kashuk makeup bag filled with samples:

Fedric Fekkai hair samples, Pantene shampoo bottle, Nivea Lotion bottle, Neutrogena Natural lip balm, booklet with coupons, and a Revlon Colorburst lipgloss sample (which I eyed at Walgreens but now I can try it first). I tried the lip balm and it goes on smooth and not too heavy or greasy, left my lips nice and smooth :)

I love freebies :) haha

Walgreens Haul

2011-03-23T15:00:00.001-04:00

Looky what i got yesterday at Walgreens! I stopped by there to check out the Wet n Wild stuff hoping to find the 8 pan palettes and some new lipsticks (ive been on a lipstick kick lately, that's all I buy! lol) There was a BOGO on Revlon, so I checked out the lipsticks, I've never really bought any Revlon stuff. And I was dissapointed to see the WnW was not on sale :( boo! But here is what I got.....

I got the 3 WnW 8 pan palettes finally!!! I took a look at the 3 pans but they didn't have all in stock. I didnt look at anything else except the new polishes and picked this purple glitter one. I like polishes with some shimmer or glitter to it, I don't like mattes.

I also saw this display with some new Maybelline products, it was products they used during Fashion Week, they had some nice highlighter eyeliners and such but only this pink polish caught my eye, a pretty baby pink with a like duochrome color in it. Plus they had a $1 off coupon :) so i only paid about $3.
I checked out the Revlon display and saw the Colorburst lipsticks I've been seeing everywhere, Temptalia just did a review on some too. I got two colors because they were BOGO, Carnation (a very pretty pink) and Peach.

So pretty!! I used Carnation today, its so moisturizing and one swipe gives you a great coverage of color, and it lasted a good while. I think I'll be picking up more colors, but they were out of stock of all the ones I did want to try!

Thats all for now! :)

Well Hello..... :)

2011-03-08T00:36:00.000-05:00

Hey Everyone!!

It's been awhile! :( But I've been busy, busy, busy!

I got married over a month ago (yay!), been busy at work, doing school online and then just come home and relax! Ever since we moved into our own place I unpacked most everything but I still have a few boxes, some being makeup and such. I bought a new storage unit and its already full! Mostly with ELF products since I went order crazy with their 50% off and other promos over the holidays. So yeah, I think I need to buy a 2nd storage unit. I plan on putting them in the 2nd bathroom which I use to get ready in the mornings. But lately this is all I use in one small drawer:

Which is just the basics, I use the same stuff everyday and do my makeup in like 5 mins. I don't do anything on my eyes except mascara and eyeliner. And then once in a while I'll change up the lipstick colors. I haven't been motivated to do anything more! haha. But I think once I get all organized I'll be more likely to be adventurous again with my makeup, especially eyeshadow. I think the last time I wear eyeshadow was the day we went to the courthouse for our wedding! :P

I got a new phone... the Iphone! :) So I'm going to get a blog app on there to make it a little easier to blog here and there when I can, because I only get online to do school work now.

Ttyl! <3

Dove: Go Fresh Cool Moisture Body Wash Review

2010-11-18T23:31:00.000-05:00

I recently found this Dove Go Fresh Cool Moisture Body Wash at Big Lots and decided to try it. I love anything that has cucumber scents in it, because they smelly yummy and fresh. This body wash has cucumber and green tea in it and smells amazing!!

When you use it in the shower it lathers up very nicely and rich and goes on your skin so smoothly! It makes the whole shower smell so fresh and clean! What I love about it is that it leaves your skin so smooth feeling even after you rinse off. Once you dry off your skin feels amazing and smooth, as if you have lotion on. So it's super moisturizing as it says! I would definately purchase this body wash again because I love how it makes my skin feel!

I also use the deodorant from this same Dove line, and it does the same for your underarms. It smells fresh and leaves your underarms smooth too. Definately feels soothing after shaving too. I definately recommend that you guys give this products a try if you haven't already done so because Dove has some great products!! :)

Review: Maybelline Falsies Mascara

2010-11-18T14:25:00.000-05:00

So I bought this mascara because usually I love Maybelline (the Colossal is one of my faves!) and thought hmmm.... let's see if it really gives you that "false eyelash" look. Granted I'm lucky because my lashes and nice and thick and long already so I don't need that "look".
I picked it up at Walmart for less than $6, the next day I opened it up to use it. The brush looks pretty good, a flexible wand and the bristles are nice and long curved to give you that extended eyelash look. I went to swipe the brush in for product and pulled it out and I got a big clump of black gooeyness on the brush.... 1st wtf?
So then I wiped the brush off and went to go in again for product and this time it came out less goopy but still didn't look good. I gave it a try on my lashes and all it did was goop black mascara on my lashes. I tried the other eye after wiping it off a bit on the top of the tube. It went on a little better but it didn't really do anything for my lashes. They looked just blah. The mascara is a really dark black which would be nice if it actually worked! I was so dissapointed in this mascara and I don't think I will ever try it again!!

Have you guys tried this one yet and what are your thoughts??

Another Update..... Yes again....

2010-11-18T14:12:00.000-05:00

Hey guys!
I know I'm the worse blogger ever, but honestly at one point I had thought of even deleting my blog. I just don't have time to update it. :(
But I'm gonna keep it and just try to at least post once a week or something.... There's so many reviews I wanted to share with you guys on SO many things I have purchased since the summer. So I will work on some quick reviews to share.
What's been going on in my life? Well I have been busy working, I work in retail so its always crazy busy for us pretty much and I come home super tired some days! And also I started going to school at the end of October so now 4 weeks in I've been doing 2 online classes (math & business) which I have been trying to keep up with. And now with the holidays coming up work is just gonna get busier! ahh!!!
I recently had my Engagement Party this past weekend which was super fun!!! <3 I may post a few pics on here later, I honestly didn't take much. But we have been talking about what to do for our wedding, because we aren't doing anything big. We were honestly just gonna go to the courthouse and get married for starters and then maybe go off to somewhere nice like Jamaica or something and have a little intimate beach ceremony/honeymoon, just the 2 of us. So I don't know yet.... Someone at work had suggested we just go to Vegas and get married. I laughed, but its actually not too bad an idea. And we've never been to Vegas so it may be fun!!
What do you guys think??

UPDATE!!!

2010-08-27T04:48:00.001-04:00

I know it has been quite some time since I have been blogging with some frequency.... BUT I've just been busy with LIFE!! I really would love to keep up with this blog and at least post some stuff a few times a week but sometimes its hard! I work retail so I don't exactly do 9-5 so I work late nights and sleep in late, or work super early and then pass out early!! So my sleep patterns are def ALL screwed up!! That's why you may find me on Twitter late nights. lol. (Oh btw... I am on Twitter alot more than on here. hehe. So if you wanna keep up with me or chat catch me on there: Latina8184)
But yeah that's really one big reason why I haven't been keeping up.... the other big reason is that............ I recently got ENGAGED!!!
YUP!!! Very exciting!!! :))
My boyfriend and I (or should I say fiance... I'm still getting used to that lol) went on a weekend trip to NYC for my birthday the first week in August and he proposed!! :) So obviously if I'm not working, I'm spending beaucoup time with him!!! We don't live together and he lives about 30 mins away so we have to coordinate our schedules to spend time together.... which really sucks!! :( We were looking into finding an apartment and had even started buying house stuff because we had planned on moving in July BUT then we decided to look into buying a townhouse so we decided to start saving up on a down payment which may take some time. lol. So we've met with a realtor to explore our options. Hopefully we've able to come up with something ASAP! Because 1. it's hard only seeing him maybe 1-2 times a week sometimes and 2. I'm ready to move out on my own again!! I'm currently staying with my mom and 2 brothers.... which is fine overall BUT I'm 26 and I wanna have my own space!
So really that's all. I'm gonna try to just do some quick everyday life posts here and there randomly when I can so you guys have something to check out when I don't have time because I'm adding the mobile blogger to my blackberry and then when I have more time and can take pics and such I will do more in depth posts such as reviews/hauls/looks etc. And my fiance recently said I should be a food blogger because whenever we go out to eat I'm always critiquing the meals we order haha. So you may see some food posts or even some of my own recipe posts on here now too! :)

Here's a few pix:

My fiance and I in Times Square :)

My beautiful ring!! :)

Urban Decay Book Of Shadows III

2010-08-27T04:17:00.001-04:00

I think this may definately be the one & only Urban Decay palette I purchase! I have been checking out each new one they come out with and have never bought any of them. Why?? ..... Because 1. I didn't want to spend $40+ for eyeshadows that I pretty much had a lot of dupes for at home and 2. because they come out with the same colors over and over again..... boring!! BUT....... this one has some new colors in it AND who can resist the super cute packaging??? Everyone <3's NY!!! :) So I think I will cave in finally LOL!

According to Temptalia this will retail for $54 and will be released online after Labor Day (September) and in stores early October.... so stay tuned!!

UDPP's New Packaging!!!

2010-08-27T03:48:00.001-04:00

FINALLY!!!!! UDPP comes in better packaging! Sephora is now selling the new Professional Size UDPP. It's 25 ml bigger than the original one, so its 0.85 oz of UDPP goodness!! lol

Besides coming in a bigger tube it comes with the squeeze tube option instead of the wand which leaves a ton of product in the bottle and forces us to eventually use the depotting method of cutting the tube open!! smh!

The new tube is $29 is a great deal because UDPP lasts forever anyways and now that its a bigger size its even better!! I'm def heading to Sephora soon!! :)

MAC'S Viva Glam Lipglass: Gaga & Cyndi

2010-08-27T03:23:00.000-04:00

MAC is coming out with the corresponding lipglasses to the Viva Glam Cyndi & Lady Gaga lipsticks! So exciting!!!
They will be out September 2nd! (Next week!! Yay!!)

(Top: Cyndi lipglass, Bottom: Gaga lipglass) (Photos courtesy of Temptalia)

I can't wait for these to come out!! The Viva Gaga & Cyndi lipsticks are 2 of my faves right now!! They stay in my purse and have been my go to lipsticks lately!! They go with any look and can be either worn sheer for a quick tint of color or layered on for a creamier look! And both colors are very wearable for any skin color I think!!

Cyndi is a beautiful coral red and Gaga a pretty bluish baby pink. Both lipsticks and lipglasses retail for $14- $14.50 each.

Go check them out!! They will be available until February 2011! (I think I may pick up an extra of each of the lipsticks!! haha!)
