This is the BEST makeup removing cleanser I have tried thus far and it is so gentle to your skin!  I did a little bit of research on the Pur-Lisse brand, and what I mean by that is that I stalked their website for information. After reading their " ABOUT " page, I am intrigued. All of Pur~lisse Products consists of 5 key ingredients, and I was fortunate enough to experience them with this milk cleanser.

This is the 2nd mascara of the five new mascaras  +Revlon   has come out with this year. This blue top mascara is geared towards "Voluminizg and Lengthing" the Lashes...a 2-in-1, but it does do one more thing that I quite enjoy and that is, it also separated my lashes while giving them volume and length. 

Click Link to see Video "Ep. 1 BOTB: Matte Lip Colors/Glosses" Let's talk about one of the newest trends happening at the Drugstore for 2016, and that is the Matte Lip Color/Gloss/Liquid/etc trend. They have many different names but they are essentially the same thing. They are all liquid intense lip products in a lipgloss form that promises a matte finish. Personally, I am a huge fan of this trend, hence why I am making a point to try out every product that comes out.  In this post I have four different brands of these Matte Glosses to share with you, but I recently found out about a fifth, the "Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes", but so far I haven't seen them at my local drugstores, but once I do, I will provide a link of my review for them soon. Today I will be comparing: the L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte Glosses, the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquids, the Nyx Soft Matte Creams, & the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolors.

"Totally Nude" is a Fair Pink Nude Cream color, part of Deborah Lippmann's Undressed Shades of Nude Set which contains six of her new nude nail colors. I don't think this color suits me, but the more I look at this Pinky Nude Color, the more I like the color...but that doesn't change the fact that the color doesn't suit my skin tone, which is unfortunate because the color is quite pretty. It would probably look great on someone that has a darker skin tone than me.  RELATED POST: DEBORAH LIPPMANN " FLESH FOR FANTASY" NAIL COLOR The application process of this polish is a bit frustrating. The first two coats were streaky and uneven. Once the third coat goes on it, everything seems to smooth out instantly. Even with three layers on my nails, dry time was surprisingly fast! My nails were ready within 40 minutes and wear time is as decent as can be, as you can see in my 5-day photo nail polish test where I wear the polish for five full d...

Click to Watch Full Video Review: L'oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation Before I even start this review, I am going to say, "Go to a drugstore at this very minute and get you one of these L'oreal True Match Cushion Foundations !" Yes, this foundation is that good, even with its steep price of $16.99, this foundation is worth every penny.

I found this foundation at Daiso Japan, which is an equivalent to America's Dollar Tree. Everything is $1.50, unless marked otherwise. I bought this foundation stick for $1.50, which is quite a steal since online the KleanColor's Velvet Moisturizing Stick Foundation actually retails at $3.99.

A luminous base will give your skin a luminous glow even with foundation and powder on top.

To my knowledge the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams are the first of the Matte Lip Colors/Glosses trend that is taking over the drugstores this year. It is always great to be the starter of trends but I think Nyx should really go back and re-do their glosses' formulat...because I do not like the finish of these creams.

I hope these never come off the shelf...or if they do, they come back repackaged and reformulated to be more moisturizing. These  +L'Oréal   Infallible Pro Matte Glosses  are amazing.  Click for (Q+H) L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte Glosses Video Review

One word: Inconsistent

Everyone is upping their brow game this year, especially in the Drugstore Department. L'oreal and Maybelline came out with several new brow products each. Even Physicians Formula came out with their 2nd brow product! Since a brow gel mascara is my favorite way to fill in my brows for an enhanced natural look, it only makes sense for me to try out the brow mascaras first.  So the first product I purchased and put to the test is this Brow Stylist Plumper Brow Gel Mascara from L'oreal ($8.49).  First impression-wise, this Brow product is WORTHY OF GREAT PRAISE.

Introducing the first of five of Revlon's new Revolution Mascaras of 2016. This is the Revlon "Ultimate All-in-One" Mascara . This mascara claims to have five lash benefits that includes: Volume, Length, Definition, Lift, & Rich, Intense Color.

When the seasons change, it seems to always wreck havoc on our skin. It's a annually non-surprise surprise, and our skin can't seem to ever adjust. Luckily we live in a time and age of gluttony, and there are a million and one options to choose from in the beauty world to help our skin get back on track. From that million and one choices, here are the products that saved my life this Winter. Let's start with the lips...my poor lips have been so damaged by me trying to test out too many lip products in the past few weeks that they are raw and extremely dried out. I had tried countless of lip balms and lips conditioners, and these two are the only ones that seem to help. Neosporin Ointment This turned out to the savior of the two lip products I am sharing with you today. Not only did it heal my lips, but it works great as an overnight lip conditioner! Jouer Essential Lip Enhancer Conditioning Lip Treatment It looks like an oil, but it coats the lips with a th...

Who would have known Neosporin would make such a great lip conditioner!

Sometimes there are days where you do need to wear a face full of makeup for an extended period of time, but the question is, by hour 8 is your makeup still there? If so, does it look good and will it last another 4 hours of wear? That is why having a good makeup setting spray is important in a girl's makeup collection. The setting spray that had made its way permanently into my collection is the Urban Decay's De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray . Not only does it keep my makeup on all day, it also does a wonderful job at controlling my oils. FYI, I have oily-combination skin.

I am living for this alabaster nude polish at the moment.  So of course I had to blog about how amazing it is!  Here it is, Deborah Lippmann's "Flesh For Fantasy" (Alabaster Nude) Polish. This is one of her newest colors and can only be purchase in the "Undressed" Nude Polish Limited Edition Set at the moment. 

Nyx actually has a few different versions of these Look Kits, and I happen to have the Bronze Smokey Look Kit which is perfectly fine, because I always would like myself a nice bronze look. 

I like the idea of a lip stain because you get a nice, new lip color without the color-transfer on everything your lips get in contact with. So the idea of these e.l.f Essential Lip Stains being only $2.00 a piece, if it works great then I have found a score of a lifetime. However, these are the perfect example of the saying, "You get what you pay for."

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog! Today I will be sharing with you "MY WINTER MAKEUP LOOK" . It's really just a simple natural look that I do often. What I really wanted to share was the products I have been using lately to achieve my go-to look!

Yes, I know this is a "Mini" size of the actual mascara, but from experience I noticed that everything is the same (the formula & the brush size), the only difference is the amount of product you get. So it's safe to say that I am using the MegaPlump Mascara, it's just in cute miniature size, which makes it even better because it is cute. 

I believe I have talked about this in my previous +OLEHENRIKSEN   blogpost when I talked about his "3 Little Wonders"  Collection, which is by-the-way, a must try. If there is any kit I would recommend from his line, it would be the 3 Little Wonders Kit. After months of using this  Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster , I am still in love with it. It contains a high level of Vitamin C which I need in my skincare because Vitamin C does not only brightens up your complexion, but it also helps with anti-aging, and protects and heals the skin from harmful radicals throughout the day. It is definitely a multi-functional anti-oxidant that is great for young adults to women in their thirties and forties.  RELATED POST: Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Treatment It does not only contains Vitamin C, but also other ingredients that benefits the skin, such as, Green Tea Extract, Rosehips Extracts (Repairs and Strengthens the skin), Sodium Hyaluronate ...

"To be Jedi is to face the Truth and Choose...A Jedi uses the Force for Knowledge and Defense, never for Attack." -Yoda- My last look was The Dark Side of the Force, so I had to do its counterpart which is the Light Side of the Force. This is a Recreation of the  +COVERGIRL 's Jedi Look. So here are the steps and products I used to re-create their look.

The Pores No More Blackhead Removal Vacuum Cleaner Mask is a " gentle exfoliating mask that helps loosen and extract blackheads without painful extortion tools while absorbing excess oil. Dr. Brandt's exclusive formula combines salicylic and glycolic acid to assist in the release of blackheads while Eijitsu Rose tightens up the look of pores."                             ~ Dr. Brandt Skincare ~ In the beginning I was not impressed with this pore de-cloggng mask from Dr. Brandt's Skincare Line. For its price tag of $45.00 for 1 oz. of product, I expected instant results and when I did not see any results after using the mask twice in a couple days I was tempted in writing this product off as a dud. Luckily I stuck with it and used it a couple more times. After the fifth or so use I finally saw some changes to my pores. The stubborn blackheads that hung around my nose area actually looked a bit lighter. ...

"When you look at the Dark Side. Careful you must be...For the Dark Side looks back." -Yoda- So a new Episode of Star Wars has finally decided make its appearance after so many anticipated years (thanks to +Disney ). There are two types of fans, the ones that grew up with episodes 4, 5, & 6 and then there are the fans of episodes 1, 2 & 3. I am the lather, since Episode 1 came out when I was 10 or 11. Now with the newest episode there will be a new generation of fans which is pretty exciting. So today's look is in honor of the Dark Side of the Force. What inspired me to do this look is thanks to +COVERGIRL 's collection of Star Wars looks. This look is a recreation of Covergirl's Star Wars Dark Apprentice look. So let's begin with the tutorial.

I initially bought this to be my go-to travel brush set. I was particularly drawn to the brush holder ( capsule ) because of how compact it is, and it would definitely protect the makeup brushes since it is a made out of metal. When I got it in the mail and held it in my hand for the first time, I realized that this capsule is truly the perfect travel-friendly size, and it came with every brush you will need for an entire eye look!

(Q+H) Quick + Honest Review on the Physicians Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow Foundation & Palette The Touch of Glow Foundation is a "weightless fluid foundation that dresses the skin in an illumination veil of radiance delivering just the right amount of coverage, while remaining undetectable on the skin."

When I first received this Lip Balm in one of my Ipsy Bags, I thought this Lip Balm was priced around $6.00-$8.00 from the looks and feel of its packaging. Be a...Bombshell Lip Balm comes in a matte, black chapstick tube with its brand printed in silver on it. The weight of the tube is light and it feel quite cheap. Then I went on their website to see what the real price is and nearly fell out of my chair...this was actually $14.00!  There better be Department Brand Quality product inside this TUBE!

This is an "All-in-1 Palette that can be used as an all over illumination powder, a highlighter, a blush, a face powder, & a bronzer. It is made of micro-fine iridescent Mother of Pearl Pigments that bathe skin in the perfect balance of translucent and pearlescent shimmer, for an ultra-chic & Modern way to glow."

So I just came back from reading my last year's 2015 New Years Resolutions...and the only resolution that I stuck with was to hold a giveaway on my Youtube Channel at the start of every month, which is awesome because I don't ever go through with any of my New Year Resolutions! (Pat myself on the back.) The biggest question is, what have I learned last year?
