This is one of my favorite palettes from OFRA especially for summer. It&#8217;s got such richly bright, fun colors that can be as casual, sexy or artistic as you&#8217;d like! Apply with a gentle hand for a light summer eye look, then get a bit exciting by using these colors to their full potential. <em>Your</em> Bright Addiction palette is sealed but you can take a look at mine for an idea of it&#8217;s gorgeousness. <img src='http://www.minaslater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h4>Drugstore Makeup Dupes For High End Beauty Products</h4>
<p>Milani Cosmetics makes fab beauty products. Milani baked blush Luminoso is a nearly exact dupe of Nars Orgasm and is oh so pretty. I love Milani baked powder blush and the price is great. These come in cute little compacts and my favorite part is the bottom compartment that holds a brush and mirror. I got Luminoso for $6.37 compared to Nars Orgasm&#8217;s price of $29!</p>
<div id="attachment_6490" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/06/drugstore-makeup-dupes.html/milani-baked-powder-blush-in-luminoso" rel="attachment wp-att-6490"><img class=" wp-image-6490 " title="Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso" alt="Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Milani_Baked_Blush_Luminoso.jpg" width="614" height="475" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso</p></div>
<p>I love, love, love my Dior Diorshow Mascara but really wanted to find a frugal alternative. In walks L&#8217;Oreal Voluminous Mascara. I find that these are kin as the wand, volume and results are nearly the same. I do notice L&#8217;Oreal Voluminous texture has more liquidity but I actually find it easier to apply without flaking because of it and once it dries the outcome is the same. I snagged this for $4.00 with a Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% off deal on all L&#8217;Oreal products. Diorshow Mascara retails for about $25.</p>
<div id="attachment_6487" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/06/drugstore-makeup-dupes.html/loreal-voluminous-full-definition-volume-building-mascara-blackest-black" rel="attachment wp-att-6487"><img class=" wp-image-6487 " title="L'Oreal Voluminous Full Definition Volume Building Mascara - Blackest Black" alt="L'Oreal Voluminous Full Definition Volume Building Mascara - Blackest Black" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/LOrealParis_Voluminous_FullDefinition_Mascara.jpg" width="614" height="409" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">L&#8217;Oreal Voluminous Full Definition Volume Building Mascara &#8211; Blackest Black</p></div>
<p>Yves Saint Luarent how I adore thee but L&#8217;Oreal Paris is on your heels! L&#8217;Oreal Paris Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain are great dupes for YSL Gloss Stain. But that&#8217;s not a shocker as they are &#8220;family&#8221;. The color isn&#8217;t as pigmented but is buildable to your desire and once they dry are pretty much identical. The L&#8217;Oreal packaging is where you definitely notice the difference. While cute, it picks up smudgy fingerprints like nobody&#8217;s business! A minor sacrifice for saving dollars in my opinion, bring on the smudgy casing! I grabbed L&#8217;Oreal Paris Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Infinite Fuchsia, Endless Red and Coral Tattoo. Gorgeous! Two were $9.99 each and 1 was $5 from the BOGO 50% off deal. YSL Gloss Stain is $34!</p>
<div id="attachment_6486" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/06/drugstore-makeup-dupes.html/loreal-paris-colour-caresse-wet-shine-stain-gloss-infinite-fuchsia-coral-tattoo-endless-red" rel="attachment wp-att-6486"><img class=" wp-image-6486 " title="L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain Gloss - Infinite Fuchsia, Coral Tattoo &amp; Endless Red" alt="L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain Gloss - Infinite Fuchsia, Coral Tattoo &amp; Endless Red" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/LOrealParis_ColourCaresse_WetShineStain.jpg" width="614" height="474" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">L&#8217;Oreal Paris Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain Gloss &#8211; Infinite Fuchsia, Coral Tattoo &amp; Endless Red</p></div>
<p>A fan of cream shadow are you? Well you should definitely check out Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow. These are creamy shadows with gorge colors suitable for so many skin tones for just $5.59 each. They&#8217;re stated to have 24 hour staying power but I&#8217;ve never tried to wear them that long so I can only vouch for 14 hours of wear. I picked up 5, one being from the more recent Metal release of Color Tattoo.</p>
<div id="attachment_6488" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/06/drugstore-makeup-dupes.html/maybelline-eye-studio-color-tattoo-24hr-cream-gel-shadow" rel="attachment wp-att-6488"><img class=" wp-image-6488 " title="Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow" alt="Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Maybelline_Color_Tattoo_Cream_Shadow.jpg" width="614" height="346" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow</p></div>
<p>Inked In Pink is a nice alternative for Stila Kitten ($20). Edgy Emerald is a gorgeous shimmery teal and a close dupe if you&#8217;d like MAC Aquadisiac ($15) with a cream texture. Pomegranate Punk is a good dupe of Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Stiletto ($19). Audacious Asphalt is one I&#8217;m sure to use a lot! It&#8217;s a close but slighty lighter match for Makeup For Ever Aqua Shadow 1 &#8211; Anthracite ($23) and I heard it&#8217;s similar in color to an eyeshadow by Inglot. Fierce &amp; Tangy is my favorite, such a beautiful orange! It&#8217;s not an an exact dupe but a nice alternative for Makeup For Every 10 &#8211; Golden Tangerine Sheen ($23). There are probably other dupes in this collection so it&#8217;s definitely worth checking out these and the other shades available.</p>

I am super duper honored and thankful to be the guest poster for this week! This edition<span id="more-6460"></span> of The Makeup Wars is all about favorite summer eye looks and I&#8217;m excited to share my faves with you darlings!</p>
<p>I usually like to keep my eyes light, simple and fresh but this year I&#8217;ve begun to jump out of my comfort zone a bit&#8230;well maybe a lot! This summer I&#8217;m all about bright, bold eyes. I&#8217;m really fawning over exciting colors like orange, pink, various blues and green&#8230;the brighter the better! Vivid colors feel fun and adventurous like summer should be. Here is one of my favorite bright summer eye looks.</p>
<div id="attachment_6462" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/06/makeup-wars-favorite-summer-eye-looks.html/bright-eyes-orange-pink-and-blue-eyeshadow-summer-eye-look-2013" rel="attachment wp-att-6462"><img class=" wp-image-6462 " title="Bright Eyes - orange, pink and blue eyeshadow - Summer Eye Look 2013" alt="Bright Eyes - orange, pink and blue eyeshadow - Summer Eye Look 2013" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Bright_eyes_pink_blue_orange.jpg" width="614" height="463" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bright Eyes! I used orange, pink and blue eyeshadow. One of my fave fun, summer eye looks.</p></div>
<p>This was so fun to create and actually really quick. If you use eyeshadow that is crazy pigmented this is a look you can do in under 5 minutes! To create this look I used pink, orange and blue eyeshadow from my <a href="http://ofracosmetics.com/ofraprofessionalmakeuppalette-brightaddiction.aspx" target="_blank">OFRA Cosmetics Bright Addiction palette</a>. If your eyeshadow color payoff isn&#8217;t as rich as you want it, try using a light base color or try the foil method. This is definitely one of my favorite summer eye looks for fun, sunny days!</p>
<p>Another of my favorite summer eye looks is a mixture of my typical daytime eye makeup with a bright pop of color. Gold eyeshadow is an everyday thing for me all year round and I usually like a bit of black, grey or bronze at the outer corner and crease. I usually use my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette but almost any neutral/nude palette will do, you can make it work! What I&#8217;m loving lately is adding a random pop of color on the lid. In this look I used a pretty teal that reminded of my trip to Turkey years ago. This look is very wearable and if you work in an office you could always just apply with a light hand. Then touch it up with a bit of black eyeshadow on the outer corner and blend into the crease for a gorge night time look.</p>
<div id="attachment_6464" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 468px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/06/makeup-wars-favorite-summer-eye-looks.html/summer-eye-look-pop-of-color-teal-and-gold-eyeshadow" rel="attachment wp-att-6464"><img class=" wp-image-6464 " title="Summer Eye Look: Pop of Color | Teal and gold eyeshadow" alt="Summer Eye Look: Pop of Color | Teal and gold eyeshadow" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Teal_Gold_Eyes_Summer.jpg" width="458" height="614" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Summer Eye Look: Pop of Color | Teal and gold eyeshadow</p></div>
<p>Even though I love the brights for summer eye looks this year, I still have my laid back moments! I like to do the simplest makeup possible&#8230;just one color on the lids. Usually a pastel color like lavender or pink and I sweep the shadow upward with a blending brush. For me this comes in handy for picnics, running errands, shopping, etc. It&#8217;s quick, cute and anyone can do it!</p>

<h4>The Fresh Start: OFRA Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator</h4>
<p>Just like the skin on our bodies, our lips need exfoliation when they get chapped. A fresh start if you will. Many lip scrubs are too abrasive for me and to be quite frank, I’m sometimes too lazy to formulate a homemade solution as often as I’d need it. <a href="http://ofracosmetics.com/lipexfoliator.aspx" target="_blank">OFRA Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator</a> is the super duper gentle solution I was seeking for my chapped lips. I love that it is in the form of a lipstick because this is something familiar and easy for me so it fits in perfectly with my routine. No messy lip stuff to scoop out of a tin or squeeze out of a tube. I don’t feel like I’m going out of my way to do something extra, nor do I ever forget or just not feel like exfoliating.</p>

<p><a href="http://ofracosmetics.com/lipexfoliator.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">OFRA Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator</a> works as a soft peel and gently removes the dried up grossness from my chapped lips to reveal smooth, kissable lips. I apply it and leave it on a few minutes while I’m tending to my eyebrows or shaping my nails…you know the normal beauty stuff! If my lips are craptastically chapped, I’ll rub my lips with my index finger in small circular motions to really work it in. I use a warm cloth or cotton round to wipe the lip exfoliator off, whatever is most convenient at the time. OFRA Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator is my perfect pout prep step that I use routinely every 2-3 days.</p>

Did I mention it’s a natural sunscreen for the lips too? Bonus points!

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.minaslater.com">MinaSlater.com - Fabulous Awesomeness</a></p><input class='jpibfi' type='hidden' data-jpibfi-url='http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/styling-shift-dress-night-out.html'/><p dir="ltr">The shift dress is the best day-to-night piece of clothing that you can choose. Wonderful for smart work wear or a sophisticated casual look, it can become a statement outfit for the evening with the<span id="more-6433"></span> right styling. Born in the Sixties, the shift dress is a timeless classic. You can turn your perfectly professional daytime look into a sophisticated sexy head-turning outfit with these simple styling tips.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/bolds-brights-fashion.html/style_fashion_category" rel="attachment wp-att-6426"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6426" title="Style &amp; Fashion - shift dress tips" alt="Style &amp; Fashion - shift dress tips" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Style_Fashion_Category.png" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<h4 dir="ltr">Essential Accessories</h4>
<p dir="ltr">Plain shift dresses are the easiest to manage so pick a midnight blue or black dress for a really sexy, yet sophisticated look. Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; plain doesn&#8217;t mean boring. In fact the best thing about simple dresses is that the scope for transitions is huge. This season, oversized jewellery is completely on trend so team your dress with a piece of statement, exaggerated and chunky jewellery. This will really add some life to your outfit and look amazing in the neon lights of the night. You could also add a belt to your dress to add a block of colour or a glamorous animal print pattern. Whatever your personality, show it off with the accessories you choose.</p>
<h4 dir="ltr">Black and Gold</h4>
<p dir="ltr">Black and gold is a timeless combination to give you a glamorous classy look. Contrast golden bangles and a gorgeous clutch bag against a sleek, stylish black shift dress to look fabulously on trend. Metallic materials look fantastic in clubs. When you&#8217;re dancing in the moonlight, people won&#8217;t be able to take their eyes off you. It&#8217;s easy to create <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/shift-dresses?trail=1002%3Acat10019%3A22006%3AShift+Dresses&amp;icCategory=cat10019" target="_blank">shift dress evening styles</a> just by adding a little glamour with gold or diamonds.</p>
<h4 dir="ltr">Subtle Shift</h4>
<p dir="ltr">Peach and pinks are the colour trends to look out for this season. Summery styles are great for that day-to-night transition. Pair your dress with a heeled white sandal or wedge, especially if your dress is patterned. Styling for a night out is about not only looking sexy but feeling it too, so pick a colour that you&#8217;re comfortable with to really show off your personality.</p>
<h4 dir="ltr">Shoes</h4>
<p dir="ltr">As we all know, shoes can make or break the perfect outfit. Luckily, the shift dress suits just about every style of shoe. Heels are a must for a night out to show off fabulous legs. Team your shift dress with a pair of killer heels or wedges to look and feel sexy. Shoe boots are also a great statement and work wonderfully well &#8211; adding a little rock star attitude to your outfit.</p>
<p>Walk with confidence and get ready to dance the night away in this season&#8217;s biggest trend &#8211; the shift dress. With Channel Sixties chic, you will sparkle with sophistication and you are sure to have a fantastic night out. Don&#8217;t be shy and really show off your new, sleek shift dress.<div class="line-sep">&nbsp;</div><b><em>Author Bio:</em></b> <em>Hilary Gibson is passionate about style and has been writing on the subject of women&#8217;s fashion for 10 years.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.minaslater.com">MinaSlater.com - Fabulous Awesomeness</a></p><input class='jpibfi' type='hidden' data-jpibfi-url='http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/bolds-brights-fashion.html'/><p dir="ltr">Fashion has taken a bold turn this year. Chunky accessories, bright colours and daring patterns are featured heavily on the Spring/Summer 2013 runways, and they show no sign of backing down.<span id="more-6424"></span> Some of this season’s staple pieces can be found right on the high street, and it couldn’t be easier to get fashionable and make sure your wardrobe is totally on trend without breaking the bank.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/bolds-brights-fashion.html/style_fashion_category" rel="attachment wp-att-6426"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6426" title="Style &amp; Fashion" alt="Style &amp; Fashion" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Style_Fashion_Category.png" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Taking inspiration from the 80s, many designers are daring to be garish and offering shoppers and fashion followers a taste of fluorescence. Bright dresses and blinding nails are featured on every high street, and the retro revival is still going on strong. If you feel like a bright orange playsuit would be a bit too “out there” for you, wear the trend in your accessories. Dark clothing with chunky, eye-catching jewellery and a bright coral lip is the perfect way to display your love for fluorescent without going overboard. Perfect for the office!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking of the office, looking smart is one of this season’s more subtle trends – both at work and outside of it. Pencil skirts are the perfect way to show off your curves and elongate your legs, making it easy for you to feel sexy while ensuring that you still look professional. Style a plain black pencil skirt with a fitted shirt in a contrasting block colour, subtle make-up and gold jewellery for an understated, classic look.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This season we can’t get enough of <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/shop-by-brand/reiss/c600002432" target="_blank">vibrant bold prints from Reiss and other fashion brands</a>. Polka dots, checked patterns and animal prints are all rife on the runway and easy to wear as a statement look when you’re out and about. Simple accessories and easy up-dos are the perfect way of wearing this look, to avoid going overboard and to really showcase that print. Pair matching prints on block colours for a fun look that will capture the attention of every passer-by.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Geometric designs are featured heavily in modern fashion, taking more influence from the much-loved 80s. These chunky black patterns on contrasting bright colours are the perfect way to showcase many of this season’s favourite trends: bright colours, repetitive patterns and bold clothing that makes people stare. Try a baggy geometric jersey with black leggings and a pair of killer heels for an 80s revival with a very modern twist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of this season’s more unique trends is sheen or metallic fabric. Mostly seen as panels on collared button-up shirts or pencil skirts, this is a daring style move that will instantly glam up any outfit. Wear metallic on black and pair it with some nail varnish in a matching metallic colour. Finish the look with silver eye shadow, which will make your eyes pop and really bring the outfit together.</p>
<p>High street fashion is daring but, when styled correctly, it can be flattering and elegant. 2013 is the year of holding your head up high and making yourself known. Your first step is by revitalizing your wardrobe.</p>

If you read my first review, you know I was on the fence about the jewelry. I made a few tweaks to my profile to see if I could<span id="more-6350"></span> get Rocksbox to zero in on my personal style a bit more. Wow, did they ever! The darlings who curate these jewelry pieces did a great job! So glad to know the Rocksbox crew really adjusts the selections to profile preferences. Check it out:</p>

<h4>Wrought Iron Double Ring by Carol Marie</h4>
<p>Whoo! I love this ring. Yes, I’ll still need a ring guard for it but I simply love this Wrought Iron Double Ring by Carol Marie! It is just punch for me to feel a little edgy but not so much that I step out of my feminine, girly self. I love that it doesn’t have crazy patterns because this one can go with nearly any outfit, not just solid prints. Love! The Wrought Iron Double Ring retails for $65.00 but is $52.00 for members.</p>

<h4>Sterling Silver Circle Chain Necklace by Charlene K</h4>
<p>I didn’t go all oh-em-gee over this necklace but I do really like it. It is dainty, just like me! I love the circles, I love that it’s sterling silver and I love that even with it being gloriously long, it is very light weight! The price for the Sterling Silver Circle Chain Necklace by Charlene K may seem a bit steep at $140 retail ($112 for <a href="https://www.rocksbox.com/?referral=9541720ad0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rocksbox</a> members) but I really like this piece.</p>

<h4>Pave Crescent Necklace in Graphite by Urban Gem</h4>
<p>Another piece from Urban Gem? Yes and I love it! This is my fave necklace sent by <a href="https://www.rocksbox.com/?referral=9541720ad0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Rocksbox</a> so far. It is eye catching yet subtle and again, a lightweight necklace. I really have the urge to keep this one. The Pave Crescent Necklace in Graphite by Urban Gem retails for $65 but it $52 for members.</p>

This month’s glambag comes with 5 beauty items packed in a colorful cosmetic bag featuring a fun zigzag pattern. Of course Ipsters also<span id="more-6348"></span> got various discount offers. Some bags also include a bonus goodie! Correct me if I&#8217;m wrong, but all of the items in my glambag are full sized. The total retail value of this bag is $61.85 so Ipsy provided a great deal for just $10. The $20 bonus item I got actually makes the value $81.85! <img src='http://www.minaslater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  These are all products I would use so it’s safe to say this is my favorite <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-h050zqrg75e9152v" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ipsy</a> glambag of the year so far. Check it out!</p>

<h4>My May 2013 Ipsy Glambag</h4>
<ul>
<li>Zoya Nail Polish – Blu</li>
<li>Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick – Pixie</li>
<li>Yaby Concealer Refill – Pecan</li>
<li>Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss – Pink</li>
<li>Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-on</li>
<li>$110 NuMe Hair Styling Tool or Hair Extensions voucher</li>
<li>Bonus: Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow – Moonspoon</li>
</ul>
<h4>Zoya Nail Polish</h4>
<p>I was beyond delighted to see that the buzz about getting full sized Zoya from the Spring collection was true! My glambag included Blu from the Zoya Lovely Spring 2013 collection. I’m a huge Zoya fan and Blu looks like a pretty pastel cream. It&#8217;s very pale but I’m excited to test it out. I’ll share swatches soon!</p>
<div id="attachment_6380" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/may-ipsy-glambag.html/zoya-nail-polish-blu-spring-2013-collection" rel="attachment wp-att-6380"><img class=" wp-image-6380  " title="Zoya Nail Polish - Blu - Lovely Spring 2013 Collection" alt="Zoya Nail Polish - Blu - Lovely Spring 2013 Collection" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ZoyaNailPolish_Blu_Spring2013.jpg" width="614" height="410" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Zoya Nail Polish &#8211; Blu &#8211; Lovely Spring 2013 Collection ($8 retail)</p></div>
<h4>Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick</h4>
<p>I do not have many Mirabella products, actually <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-h050zqrg75e9152v" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ipsy</a> (formerly MyGlam) introduced me to the brand. I received Pixie, a sheer coral lipstick. The color is very pretty and seems to compliment my skin tone well, as most corals do. Love coral! <img src='http://www.minaslater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I’ll share lip swatches and a full review soon.</p>
<div id="attachment_6376" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/may-ipsy-glambag.html/mirabella-colour-sheers-lipstick-pixie" rel="attachment wp-att-6376"><img class=" wp-image-6376 " title="Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick - Pixie" alt="Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick - Pixie" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Mirabella_ColourSheersLipstick_Pixie.jpg" width="614" height="407" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick &#8211; Pixie ($22 retail)</p></div>
<h4>Yaby Concealer Refill</h4>
<p>Yaby is another brand I don’t have a lot of. I think this is my 3rd or 4th item and all came from Ipsy. This month Ipsy provided concealer in the glambag. Many subscribers were questioning shade matching and Ipsy assured all that shades were based on our profiles. I’m glad to say mine was matched perfectly! I received Yaby Concealer Refill in Pecan, which finely blends with my tone. I tested it only for matching so I cannot comment on wear at all.</p>
<div id="attachment_6379" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/may-ipsy-glambag.html/yaby-cosmetics-concealer-refill-pecan" rel="attachment wp-att-6379"><img class=" wp-image-6379 " title="Yaby Cosmetics Concealer Refill - Pecan" alt="Yaby Cosmetics Concealer Refill - Pecan" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Yaby_ConcealerRefills_Pecan.jpg" width="614" height="410" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Yaby Cosmetics Concealer Refill &#8211; Pecan ($4.85 retail)</p></div>
<h4>Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss</h4>
<p>Woot! Juice Beauty in the hizouse! Yes, I really just said that. I love Juice Beauty and I have wanted to try this lipgloss since I first heard it was coming. I got the shade Pink, the exact Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss I wanted! Holla! Yep, just said that too! <img src='http://www.minaslater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h4>Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-on</h4>
<p>Pacifica has fabulous products that I adore. By the sneak peeks <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-h050zqrg75e9152v" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ipsy</a> posted on Facebook I was pretty convinced Pacifica Perfume Roll-on was for sure in glambags this month. I wasn’t sure I would get one but I really hoped plus crossed my fingers and toes! I normally am not a fan of most vanilla scents but this is pure bliss for my nose! Love it!</p>
<div id="attachment_6377" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/may-ipsy-glambag.html/pacifica-island-vanilla-perfume-roll-on" rel="attachment wp-att-6377"><img class=" wp-image-6377 " title="Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-on" alt="Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-on" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Pacifica_IslandVanilla_PerfumeRollOn_1.jpg" width="614" height="409" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-on ($12 retail)</p></div>
<h4>Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow</h4>
<p>I’ve had my eye on Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow, Zodiac to be specific. Also had Glitter Rock and Stargazer on my radar. Ipsy sent me Moonspoon as a bonus item. Score! Though this isn’t a shade I really had interest in, it is growing on me and will be a nice addition to my makeup stash. Also a great way to test out Moondust before grabbing the other shades!</p>
<div id="attachment_6381" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 624px"><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/may-ipsy-glambag.html/urban-decay-moondust-eyeshadow-moonspoon" rel="attachment wp-att-6381"><img class=" wp-image-6381 " title="Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow - MoonSpoon" alt="Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow - MoonSpoon" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/UrbanDecay_Moondust_Eyeshadow_MoonSpoon_1.jpg" width="614" height="409" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow &#8211; MoonSpoon ($20 retail)</p></div>

I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now so I’m reviewing it slightly earlier than I would most skin care items.<span id="more-6349"></span> I also received a sleep mask which I really liked but I&#8217;m not sure if it comes with the product or Influenster decided to include it themselves.

<h4>Aveeno Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream, My View</h4>
<p>Aveeno products always seem to be hit or miss for me and Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream seems to be hanging somewhere in the middle from my perspective. I don’t hate it nor do I love it. The packaging is nice, however the box is a bit of a space waster. What is pretty cool is the back of the box has a display that shows the actual size of the container, so consumers aren’t completely fooled by the box size. Kudos on that! I like the actual container quite a bit. The product comes in a nicely durable 1.7oz jar with a twist lid.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/aveeno-intensive-night-cream.html/aveeno-active-naturals-positively-radiant-intensive-night-cream-2" rel="attachment wp-att-6357"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6357" title="Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream" alt="Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Aveeno_PositivelyRadiant_IntensiveNightCream_1.jpg" width="614" height="410" /></a></center>When I opened the container I noticed a familiar scent but couldn’t quite put a finger on what it was. That irks me! <img src='http://www.minaslater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  It’s a very mild scent that gave me no sinus, headache or respiratory issues. 2 thumbs up there! The Intensive Night Cream has a wonderfully smooth, creamy texture. I did an allergy test on my skin and had no issues, another plus! So here’s the thing, after 3 weeks of use I’ve noticed no significant difference. I realize it takes 4-6 weeks for many skin care items to make changes. But with minor factors, I expect to notice something in the first week or so. Minor factors being at least a small positive change in texture or dullness. I certainly don’t expect to take a step back on the well being of my skin.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/05/aveeno-intensive-night-cream.html/aveeno-active-naturals-positively-radiant-intensive-night-cream-3" rel="attachment wp-att-6358"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-6358" title="Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream" alt="Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream" src="http://www.minaslater.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Aveeno_PositivelyRadiant_IntensiveNightCream_2.jpg" width="614" height="410" /></a></center>Perhaps I didn’t notice anything positive because I was already on a nightly skin regimen I was extremely satisfied with. I think this would be good for someone who doesn&#8217;t already have a great skin care routine and possibly those with oily skin since this is oil-free. My skin already gets massive help with tone and glows beautifully using my <a title="Skintastic Spotlight | OFRA Cosmetics Vitamin C Cleanser" href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/04/ofra-cosmetics-vitamin-c-cleanser.html">OFRA Cosmetics Vitamin C Cleanser</a>. I also feel I need a bit more moisture for my dry spots at night than Positively Radiant provides. I have combo skin and it was nice for my t-zone but not for my cheeks. The first day or so seemed okay but afterwards my face felt dry and tight more each week, back to the point of light flaking. I was really hoping this would be a good alternative for me money wise but I feel I get more punch from my <a title="Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Replenishing Night Cream Review" href="http://www.minaslater.com/2013/02/sibu-beauty-sea-buckthorn-replenishing-night-cream-review.html">Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Replenishing Night Cream</a>. So for the love of my skin, I’m ending this trial early and going back to my regularly scheduled programming. <img src='http://www.minaslater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
