Will you look at that! Sunscreen in powder form! Rate: 3.5 out of 5.0 Price: $6.00 Where: Eyeslipsface website What the Company say: A portable loose powder sunscreen that can be worn alone or over any makeup for key sun protection. Shields against harmful UVA/UVB rays to prevent premature skin aging and sun damage. The soft translucent powder is infused with healthy ingredients such as Aloe Vera Extract, Grape Seed Extract and Vitamins A,C & E to help nourish and soothe the skin. What I think: I really like the idea of having a sunscreen in powder form. One) because it is not oily, and mattifies the face on a hot and sweaty day. Two) It is so easy to apply on, quick and easily over makeup, unlike lotion sunscreens. However, this product gives my skin such a powdery, ashy look that it is almost not worth using. I have to blend in the product very well, and wait until my oils help absorb some of the powder before the ashiness goes away. What others think: Th...

I have been eyeing Prismacolor Colored Pencils forever, but they are so expensive. I always wondered why, I mean, they are only colored pencils, right? Then, I saw this beautiful 48-set at Office Max on clearance and knew that it was my chance to finally get it. Even with the discount, I still paid (after tax) about $38.00 out of $75.00. Compared to Crayola, Prismacolor don't break, and are very easy to layer over each other and blend together. I am just so happy that I finally got my hands on some of these pencils, and at such a great price! However, Amazon has this product for a cheaper price! Here are a few drawings that I did using these color pencils! I just love how vibrant these colors are!

A great thing about having monthly beauty subscriptions is that you will get full-size products without paying for the price. The Mirenesee Lip Bomb is definitely one of those products. I got it in my $10-monthly subscription (Ipsy.com) back in October 2012, and I absolutely love it! This product is also $35.00! So I am very greatful to have recieved it for less than $10. However, because of the quality, I am really tempted in forking over some big time cash and buy one or two more of their glosses! This is definitely a high-end brand located in Australia. Rate: 4.0 out of 5.0 (Because the price is outrageuous!) Price: $35.00 USD, If in Australia $39.00 Where: Mirenesse.com , Birchox What the company say: Information found on Mirenesse website. "A Revolutionary colour that combines gloss, stain and lacquer all in one!  A satisfying NEW INNOVATION in lip colour; beyond gloss, stain or lip lacquer. Colour that drenches your lips for a juicy high impact colour that...

Who would have known that $5.00 can buy you great mineral foundation! Rate: 5 out of 5 Price: $5.00 Where: EyesLipsFace.com What the company thinks: (Taken from EyeslipsFace website) "Our weightless Mineral Foundation will help you achieve healthier illuminating skin. Infused with key Vitamin E for rich antioxidants that hydrate and replenish the skin. Our powder foundations blend naturally into the skin, and are so light that they work with your skin color to create a perfect color match. All of our foundations contain SPF 15 and are mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes." What I think: I really do not know if it makes my skin healthier overtime, since I do not use it everyday. In fact, I do not wear makeup on a daily basis. However, I do love the healthy looking skin it gives to my face. There is a slight glow (not in the dewy way) to my skin, airbrushed, matte, and almost perfect but you can still see your skin. For ...
