Avon Gel Polish

Gel nails are the rave at the moment but not everyone can afford getting them done professionally. I tried a few gel polishes from different brands with total disappointment I had to return or just stash away to never be used again. I was told about this product which I never tried before so of course I was skeptical. I just started using this product but so far so good, I will come back and post a full review on it!  Thanks

L'oreal Paris Magic BB Cream Review




    I got the opportunity to try this BB cream which would be the first BB product I have tried.  I never was interested before in trying any BB bream product because the lack of shades for girls like me with more of a tan skin just discouraged me from ever purchasing one. I was given the opportunity to try this product for free so why not give it a chance. My product shade came in medium which turned out to be a great match.
My skin is more on the combination/dry side so I wondered how well it would leave my skin looking.

The product line is one of my favorites and I had high hopes for this product.  The product itself is runny and white in color, it applies smooth and blends into the skin with ease. It does dries pretty fast so application needs to be more rushed for me. Once on the skin the color of the BB cream changes and becomes the perfect match. The BB cream gives a smooth powdery feeling to the skin. The coverage is not full which is to be expected because it's not a full coverage product but it does give a good everyday coverage so if you have blemishes or under eye circles you will need a concealer. 

The best way to apply this product is with your fingers, the blending will be more flawless and being it's so runny it will be less of a mess. I apply it by squeezing the product directly on my fingers than blending it on my face little by little, this method has worked for me so far.  I haven't seen a difference on my skin but other that than it's a great product!


My conclusion on this product is as follows:
Pros
Easy to blend
Great packaging
Good color selection
feels great on skin
Cons
A bit runny
not full coverage
dries to fast

I have to say ladies that it's a good product if you have been meaning to try a drug store BB cream that won't leave you looking like an oil slick or a dry mess than this product might be for you!  It's great for an everyday wear and travel friendly, no pump or weird packaging that could create a mess. Hope you guys give a try and let me know how well it worked for you! Thanks

Revlon Colorstay ultimate suede lip products!

  I was excited to purchase these after seeing so many great reviews on them. The only colors that really caught my attention were these two,Flashing lights and Preview. The whole collection has about ten different shades I believe. The prices vary depending were you purchase them but they are around 9$.
The product goes on smooth and dries up pretty quickly making my lips a bit dry so I say use a gloss over it. They are pigmented and have no order which for me its a plus.
I recommend these products but I say wait for a sale or coupon I wouldn't pay full prize!
Have a question please leave me a comment!

Kat Von D palette in Sinner!

  I love eyeshadows in every color whether it be neutral or colorful. Kat Von D line of palettes are gorgeous.
I was shopping at Sephora this weekend and I saw this palette and fell in love with the colors. They are not bright and in your face type of colors but the ones you could use every day. They are subtle but very pigmented and wearable. The consistency of the shows are smooth and not powdery. Some have shimmer (not glitter) and others are matte which I love. I am not fond of glittery eyeshadow these give a nice shimmer to your eye without the glitter. I used this palette over the weekend and I got many compliments on it. The colors are gorgeous and for the price they are worth it! Thanks
 
Price was 36$ at Sephora it may vary at other locations

FTC: My hubby bought me this palette so my thoughts on it are my own.

Sigma Brushes!

I don't have a large collection of makeup brushes but I have some of the best on this line that we all know
about and love, Sigma! Who doesn't know what this company is all about, great brushes of course and
their customer service for my own experience anyways is the best! I own some of their popular sets like the Synthetic Sigmax brush collection. I got them a while ago so I am not sure if they came together in one kit
or separately but if you go the their website you will be able to find that out.

The brushes are very dense and very soft. They give you that flawless application that we all want. With these brushes I did not experince any fall out what so ever! I use them for either foundation, creme blush, setting powder, etc! They are very versatile so you could work with them the best way that works for you! If you are new to makeup and need good brushes and a reasonable price than I recommend for you to check out Sigma. I will post the link to their website below and good luck ladies!

KORRES/ Quercetin & Oak Antiaging Eye Primer

I always wear eye primers when I have long days or a special event. They help my eyeshadow stay on longer and look more pigmented. I have never tried this primer before. The texture is creamy with a hint of purple in it. You don't need to apply much and it's easy to blend. It doesn't crease. The look of it seems unlike any other primers I have used. It's say that not only will it help your makeup stay on longer but also help brighten the eye. Yes its a good primer you could say a three in one product. What caught my interest is that fact that it's an anti aging product and who doesn't love that concept?! Worth trying ladies and I will be buying this product as soon as my free sample is all gone! Thanks


I recieved this product compliments of BeautyStat but the review is my own objective opinion.
