What is Beautyfix?

As a blogger, I have to say that I feel extremely overwhelmed with the multitude of choices of products on the market. Every day someone is coming out with something new, there's no way to be on top of it all. How many nail polishes would you have to try to try every single one in existence? A lot. A sh*t load, actually. Beautyfix delivers deluxe travel sized or full sized products that are hand picked by experts, for a fraction of the price. You'll get a box delivered to your door every month and also receive member-only discounts on additional products.

Beautyfix 2 rocked it. I was super impressed. Here's what it included:
-3LAB "M" Cream (deluxe sample)
-Bella Bronze Golden Chamomile & Goats Milk Self-Tanner (full size)
-Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque (full size)
-Global Goddess IDivine Eyeshadow (full size)
-Glowelle 7-Day Powder Stick Pack Kit (full size)
-Jonathan Product Finish Control (full size)
-Kerstin Florian Neroli Water (deluxe sample)
-Lisa Hoffman Beauty Vitamin A & E Serum (full size)

All in a pretty sweet black Beautyfix makeup bag. It costs $49.99 quarterly. So that may seem like a lot, but for what you're actually getting it's not. At all. After that you go online and write about the products and share with cool ladies like myself. What could be better? I definitely recommend it and if not for you, give it to someone else! It's an awesome idea. I'll review more of the products soon.

Review: Eyeko Products

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:44:00 +0000

Eyeko means LOVE and LOVE CHILD in Japanese. It's a London based manga-esque brand, imagine if Hello Kitty had makeup. You can get it at Cherry Culture.com if you live in the US. You can also order from the Eyeko website and get FREE Shipping worldwide on all orders. The prices are in euros I guess... the ones I put are from Cherry Culture.

Touch Up & Go Concealer (I just noticed that I put the wrong picture in the collage. The one pictured is Touch Up & Glow, and it should be the one with red letters. Oops.) Touch Up & Glow is a highlighting pen and Touch Up & Go is a concealer pen. LOVE it. Dirt cheap for a peachy concealer that instantly brightens and neutralizes under-eye circles. Contains purified water and jojoba. Try it, you'll like it.

face candy grade: A+

Fat Balm ($13)- Berry tint for lips and cheeks. The packaging is so cute on this. I tried Strawberry. I think it's better for cheeks than lips, not too moisturizing.
Available in:
-Strawberry- Bright Pink
-Raspberry- Medium Purple
-Minty- Pale Pink

face candy grade: C

Nail Polish- These little bottles of polish are so cute! I love how all the labels are different. I tried the pale blue one. I like how tiny these are too. I'm not a big fan of the tiny little tops though, doesn't give you a lot to hold on to.
Available in:
-Pretty Polish- Sheer Pink
-Vamp Polish- Dark Midnight Blue
-Punk Polish- Fluorescent Pink
-Pastel Polish- Baby Blue
-Red Plish- Hot Hot Red
-Disco Polish- Glittery Silver

face candy grade: B+

Cream ($12)- A 3-in-1 moisturizer, highlighter and eye cream infused with skin perfecting light reflectors and Vitamins A, C and E. This cream looks pink in the picture, but it seems more golden to me. I mix it with my foundation for a slightly pearlized finish. LOVE it.

face candy grade: A

Mascara ($15)- A black mascara with natural oils and silicones with Panthenol (Vitamin B) in a silver tube. The brush is long and thin. This didn't work for me. I ended up getting it all over my face and it clumped my lashes together.

face candy grade: D

Overall, Eyeko is a really cool brand and you'll be sure to find something you like. I definitely recommend it. :) Happy shopping! K

Review: ChapStick True Shimmer

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:15:00 +0000

ChapStick True Shimmer ($2.99) is traditional ChapStick with pearly white glitter in it. My favorite is Tropical, it's pineapple-coconutty. A little bit too frosty for my lips. No SPF. I like the flavor, but it could use some SPF and maybe a little bit of pink to offset the frostiness. Read more reviews at Total Beauty. Available in:
Botanical Berry
Tropical
Peppermint Rush

Face Candy Grade: B

Review: L'Oreal HiP Color Presso Lipgloss

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:00:00 +0000

I tried L'Oreal's HiP Color Presso Lipglosses ($13) in two color combos, 182 Trendy and 180 Swanky. Swanky was my favorite because it gives more color but Trendy makes a lovely nude lip. I like these much better than the Kohl Eye Liners. These make more sense. You can mix and match the 2 colors to make endless combos. The glosses are thick and creamy and smell like cupcakes but tend to wear off pretty quickly. For $13 that's not a lot of bang for your buck. Available in 10 color combinations.

Review: Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Mascara

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:00:00 +0000

The old version of Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Mascara was one of the first mascaras I ever saw in my Grandmother's bathroom. I was quite intrigued, being a 10 year-old with non-existent eye lashes. I was adopted and my Grandmother, Gammy, was a beautiful all american type lady. And she had Alopecia, a condition that causes you to lose your hair. ANYWAY, she used it and it was one of the first ones I ever used. It was thickening and the blackest black. I have fond memories of experimenting with crushed eye shadow and vaseline in her bathroom. I miss her.

It's been reformulated into 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper ($ since then and I actually am not as pleased as I thought I'd be. The brush is fine, the formula is okay but I wouldn't say it fattens my lashes and really volumizes (for that I say go with L'Oreal Voluminous). It's good at separating but it seems like a regular mascara. Even with 3 coats I still craved more. Overall, not bad, but not awesome either.
That being said, lots of people on Makeup Alley liked it. So you be the judge. Read more reviews at Total Beauty.
Available in:
-403 Blackest-Brown
-402 Black Velvet
-401 Extreme Blackout
(I have not idea what the difference between black velvet and extreme blackout is. Do you?)

Sonia Kashuk Spring 2009 Spring Treasures

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:50:00 +0000

Sonia Kashuk's Spring 2009 collection for Target was inspired by the ocean and exotic marine life. I have always loved SK's products. Luxurious but affordable. Here's what's in the collection:

-Treasure Chest Bag ($12.99) - A soft polyester makeup bag that opens to one large, clear zippered bag and on the other side 2 silver mesh zippered bags. The front flap has a deep pocket on the inside and a smaller one on the outside. Dimensions: 10"x2"x5.5". Wipe clean. I really like it, it's large enough to hold all my everyday essentials and it's cute. I've always loved coral. More on that in a bit.

Face Candy Grade: A+
-Hidden Treasure Brush Set ($19.99)- This smaller coral clutch is super cute. I would even take it out as my purse. It has 6 brushes with coral handles. 1 powder brush, 1 fluffy eye shadow brush, 1 smaller crease brush, 1 eye smudging brush, 1 lip or concealer brush and 1 angled eyebrow or shadow brush. For $20, it's a deal.

Face Candy Grade: A+

-Coral Reef Highlighter Brush ($12.99)

-Pink Sands Highlighting Powder ($12.99)- A sheer, pearly pale pink pressed powder. (You love my alliteration. I know it!) The packaging is cool looking but seems a little bit cheap and plasticy in your hand. Provides a luminous glow.

Face Candy Grade: B

-How To Create The Freshness Of Spring Cosmetic Palette ($19.99)- 3 eye shadows, 3 lip colors and 1 blush. There are cards in the package that give you ideas of different looks you can do with the palette.

photo: target.com

Anyway, I was saying that I love coral. I love red coral. My china pattern is called "Cristobal Red" by Raynaud. It's also available in blue and brown I think, but red called my name. I LOVE it. It's so gorgeous. If you live in Maryland, I got mine at Sunnyfield's in Baltimore. It's also available at Bloomingdales.

Review: L'Oreal HiP Kohl Eyeliner

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:23:00 +0000

I was curious to see what these L'Oreal HiP Kohl Eyeliners ($13) were like. I tried Navy Kohl and Gold Kohl. It is "smooth and velvety, smudge-proof, wear-proof" iridescent kohl. Things looked promising from the tube. When you pull out the felt-tip applicator, which is really just a thin black wand that you're supposed to press into your lash line, crumbs of kohl get everywhere, so I recommend doing it over a paper towel. (Don't do it sitting on your couch, watching tv, like I did.) Mm-hm... Overall the colors weren't bad, but the entire application of this product is just a mess. I don't know where they get off claiming it's "smudge- and wear-proof" because those are the only two things I guarantee will happen. Fall out is bad. And a $13 drugstore liner? No. Hell No. Read more reviews at Total Beauty.

Bobbi Brown - Iluminating Bronze Collection

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:00:00 +0000

"This summer, Bobbi Brown is making it easier than ever to get the look of healthy, sun-kissed skin without the damaging effects of the sun. Take your pick from a flattering array of options, designed for all complexions from fair to dark."

Illuminating Bronzing Powder ($33)- An ultra-soft, smooth pressed powder formulated with a blend of sheer powder and micro pearls.
Available in:
-Antigua- Light Pink Bronze
-Aruba- Light Golden Bronze
-Maui- Pink Coral Bronze
-Bali Brown- Golden Bronze
-Barbados- Warm Deep Bronze
-Bahama- Deep Golden Bronze

I tried this in Antigua, which is shown above. I think I'm going to have to go out and get Barbados. Antigua is a soft bronzy pink that looks amazing applied with her Face Blender brush. If you haven't seen them in person, go to the counter and take a look. I doubt you'll be able to walk away empty handed. :)

Face Candy Grade: A+

Shimmer Brick For Body ($75)- A silky, lightweight powder containing 3 shimmering bars of color.

All Over Body Brush ($85)- A soft, luxurious brush with ultra soft bristles for sheer, even application.

All Over Bronzing Gel SPF 15 ($28)- Gel-based bronzer for face. New in Golden Sun.

SEPHORA Eau Girl Fragrance Deluxe Sampler ($80 Value)

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:18:00 +0000

Eau Girl Fragrance Deluxe Sampler ($80 value, for $40) - Sephora's most wanted fragrances, all in one little box. Contains:
- 0.17 oz Dior Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Parfum
- 0.17 oz Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade Eau de Toilette
- 0.17 oz Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette
- 0.13 oz Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette
- 0.3 oz Prada Infusion d'Iris Eau de Parfum
- 0.13 oz Clean Eau de Parfum
- 0.24 oz Ralph Lauren Ralph Eau de Toilette
- 0.13 oz Givenchy Very Irresistable Givenchy Eau de Toilette

I really like this one because the bottles are so cute and mini. (I'm envisioning them on a mirrored perfume tray on top of my dresser). There's lots of other Sephora sets like this one, one for pink lips, one for face quenchers. I'm actually going to have to see what this one looks like in real life before I pick it up. I've been burned by shopping online too many times!

Kenzo Cleansing Ice Jelly For Those Hot Summer Days (and Nights)

noreply@blogger.com (Specialkalle) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:48:00 +0000

It's been hot lately. I cannot stand the heat. I will melt. Pretty much exactly like the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. We still have not gotten our air conditioners out yet. So I live with a fan. One fan. When I got Kenzo's Cleansing Ice Jelly ($28) I stuck it in the fridge for... a while (or maybe it was in there for a month and I just found it now). I grabbed a cotton ball and saturated it with the cold gel. When you apply it, it becomes a water-like cleanser. The gel melts and refreshes and cools your face. It's awesome. I've never tried anything like it before. Fifteen minutes later, my face still feels cool and clean too.
