Maybelline Stick Foundation Review

2013-07-17T17:00:00.001-04:00

I can honestly say that I really didn't like this foundation because of my dry skin. If you are some one like me that has dry skin and you are looking for a nice drugstore foundation then I would suggest the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation you cant go wrong and it has SPF for summer.

Skin Care

2013-07-05T16:51:00.000-04:00

Much like the weather our skin changes from season to season and either that being said I figured it was time for me to do an up dated video. While some products have changed for the most they remain the same in how they work I just found some cheaper alternatives to some of the products that I used before. So lets get started because this is going to be a long post sit back and get you something to drink.
As most of you know I don't wash my face in the mornings unless I used a cold cream the night before. The reason for this is that I have dry combination skin and I feel that by allowing my face to build up some oils is a good thing. ( You don't have to do this it just works for me.) I always moisturize each morning followed by SPF, and primer in that order. Next I apply my makeup and I'm out.
At night depending on how my day went I'm likely to either wash my face or use my ponds cold cream to remove my makeup. If I had a pretty good day then I'm off the the sink to wash my face and take my shower. First I start by using my Purity or my Soap and Glory clarifying 3 in 1 scrub along with my clarisonic. I use the Purity if I don't have any cold cream or if I feel like deep cleaning my face. Next I tone my face by using Witch Hazel. ( This product is amazing in getting rid of dark spots along with the PMD.) After applying my toner I then use my Josie Maran Argan oil to help restore the natural oils and to help tell my skin to stop producing extra oil.( Aragan Oil is amazing for a variety of reasons see my other videos on this amazing oil.) Lastly I use my hope in a jar as my thicker moisturizer, and I'm done, well of. Twice a month I will use my PMD to help me remove acne scaring, and in between those treatments I tend to use Kate Somerville Intensive Exfolication Mask,or either Soap and Glory "The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser" which is amazing by the way if you haven't tried it already then you owe your self a spa treatment, and trust me when I say your skin will thank you. There you go I hope this blog post was informative in to how I take care of my skin. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional this is just what works for me. As always any comments questions or concerns and be left on my youtube page ShopSavvySaver.
Bye

NARS Illuminator Orgasm

2012-06-27T15:33:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone so today's post we are going to talk about the Nars Illuminator in Orgasm. The first thing that I think we have to keep in mind is that an illuminator is different from a highlighter. A highlighter is applied to certain areas of the face that you want to bring the features forward, as an illuminator usually is applied all over the body or face to create an luminous effect, or a dewy glow to the skin. With that being said I would have to say if you want nice dewy but settle lit from within glow then the Nars Illuminator is perfect to achieve that look. There are three ways that I would suggest to wear the product the first mixing it with your foundation, secondly wear alone with out foundation and lastly as a highlighter. Like I said its not a highlighter, but it can still make certain areas look luminous. Overall I give this product 9/10 because of the price, I think its a little to pricey to do what it does.

What's in my beach bag

2012-06-24T20:17:00.002-04:00

Hi everyone, with summer here I can't wait to hit the road, but if you are anything like me I always forget to bring something. So usually I pack my bags weeks in advance to make sure that I don't forget anything.(Yes, weeks in advance and check it twice.) So with that being said I gonna show you what I pack in my beach bag.

Here is the overall view of what I pack in my "Share the Love" Victoria Secret Beach bag.

As you can see from the picture I usually back some makeup as well for when I'm going to the beach. Since I have discovered the Garnier BB cream I feel that its a must for the days when you want a little coverage, while still having the benefits of spf 15. The other items are optional,however I still like to feel like I have all my essential makeup on so I will list the other products and if you want to know more about them be sure to check out my YouTube video.

Dream Bouncy Blush in peach, Josie Maran SPF 40 moisturizer, Julep Lip Balm SPF 15, Flo atomizer with Marc Jacobs Daisy and my Mally Beauty High Shine Lip Gloss, and my Victoria Secret cosmetic bag.

Sun Shades, Cellphone, MP3 or Ipod, Nook, and magazine.

Bug Spray and Sunblock( yes I know this is the kids brand but it was all I have for now). And here is the new sigma code for this month, happy shopping.

Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew

2012-06-21T19:56:00.002-04:00

Hi Guys so today I am doing a product review on the Garnier BB cream in the Medium dark shade Since I wore the product today in 98% weather. I figure that it would be the perfect time to test the product out and I must say I'm in love. First of all the product goes on like a moisturizer, too light for my skin however I did set it with a foundation powder that made the product appear to be the perfect shade for my skin. The product is light weight, and therefore feels like you aren't wearing any make up at all. One thing that really sold me on the finish of the product was when my husband saw me and said " You look beautiful." The BB cream is at most local drugstores and you local Targets as well. I wouldn't recommend this product for people with oily skin because it is a moisturizer. Overall I give it a 9 out of 10 due to the fact that I had to apply a powder over it to get my skin color correct.

Hi Everyone and Welcome to ShopSavvySaver blog. I just want to give everyone a little information about me and what I hope to accomplish with my blog. First of all let me say that I totally am in love with fashion, makeup, and eating a healthy diet. I'm newly married to my husband Shawn of two fantastic years and we are expecting your daughter Brooklynn in June. I have a Masters Degree in Human Services and Counseling, and I hope to soon get a job working with children in the school system. As most of you know when there is only one income coming in things can be a little tight and as much as I love shopping and fashion, sometimes we have to cut back for the bigger things in life and that's why I'm trying to find the best deals and products for the price. I also have all of my product review videos on YouTube as well for your viewing pleasure. They are also linked on this page for faster viewing. Thanks Everyone for stopping by and please subscribe on YouTube as well as follow me on Twitter, and my blog. I look forward to hearing from you.
