DAILY ESSENTIAL?

May 9, 2017

I recently received some sunscreen from Colorescience that I’m not particularly in love with but then again I don’t absolutely hate it. I received the Daily UV Essentials which consists of the Daily UV Protector & the Sunforgettable Brush-On Sunscreen. At $78 for this kit, I think that the look and feel of the containers are not up to par with such a high price point. The Unforgettable Broad Spectrum Brush-On Sunscreen has SPF 50, came in a medium shade and is super invisible. I was hoping to see a little more even skin tone but I could barely see a difference in the color on my face. I only knew it was there because my face would look more matte so I only used this over the UV Protector.

The Daily UV Protector has a whipped formula that takes a while to blend out and doesn’t look pretty as it’s being rubbed in. When I finally rub it all in, for a few moments it makes my skin look gray but that fades away quickly and eventually looks more natural. I must say, I really liked how my skin looked.

Overall, there’s nothing I hate about these products but don’t feel it’s worth so much money and could do without the whipped formula to enjoy the whole experience.

Doctor's Orders

March 6, 2017

This post is exactly why I love Boxycharm so much! One of the items included in my last box was the Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator which retails for $79! This was perfect timing since I was actually in need of a new exfoliator and I LOVE trying out new skincare. The directions say to use no more then once or twice a week, and I found that for my skin, once a week is enough. I used it as both a soft cleanser and a rough one, depending on the pressure you’re applying as you scrub your face, which I thought was awesome. This exfoliant removes of all my dead skin cells leaving my skin feeling flawless without repercussion. Afterwards, I do recommend moisturizing to bring that back into the skin. The price and amount of product is worth it for a little luxurious skin investment.

TRUSTY TRESTIQUE

April 1, 2016

Trestique is one of the newest innovative products on the market and it definitely came in with a BANG! For all you hard working ladies who need a quick and easy routine, this one’s for you.

Trestique offers a variety of face sticks meant to enhance you’re best features. The creamy gel formula blends in smoothly to your skin so much so that I personally consider this the most subtle yet effective formula for the ’no make-up make-up’ look. Each product comes with refillable applicators so you can keep your tools fresh and like new for longer. You can even swap one of the applicators out with a blotting sheet cartridge! I’m pretty sure this has never been done before so that’s innovation at its best!

I’ve been lucky enough to try everything except the brow pencil. I can honestly vouch for everything Trestique. The lip crayon is matte, yet comfortable... just the way I like it. The eye pencil doesn’t crease and their face products are undetectable. It’s all worth the price you’re paying for these life savers.

Right now through tomorrow they have a special $40 off two-week introductory! Don’t miss it, go grab it!

These amazing little eye patches by Patchology are a complete life saver! Renowned makeup artists use them on their models before they hit the runway.

FABULOUS FACIAL SPRAY

March 8, 2016

This Mario Badescu facial spray is my life! I swear by this stuff, it keeps my dry skin moisturized throughout the day and refreshes my makeup when it's slowly becoming dull. I also love to use this prior to applying primer or foundation because it preps my skin for flawless application. I have gone through bottles of this and I take it with me everywhere I go! This is a must have for every season and summer in particular, just to keep your skin refreshed.

NAKED HIGHLIGHTER

March 6, 2016

Ok ladies, please trust me when I say you need this in your life because YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!! For all my beauties who love a gorgeous highlight do yourself a favor and purchase this product you will not regret it. It is such a beautiful shimmer color I always get compliments when I wear this. I like to use a fan brush (or the brush it comes with) and place this on the high points of my cheeks (as you do with any highlighter). Now, I know this product isn't for everyone because it is very shimmery and very pigmented but for those of you who like these qualities, buy this...it's worth every penny!! Oh and I use it as an inner corner highlight too!
