Tutorial | Cover Girl Red Revenge

Hello my loves!

Today I am back with a makeup tutorial focused on CoverGirl's Outlast Longwear Moisture lipstick in Red Revenge. I was sent this to review in my I Do Voxbox from Influenster. I love a good red lip, but I hardly wear them as often as I should. Red lipstick is just so versatile and can stand for power, confidence and even be sexy.

Red Revenge is a true blue-based red with a bit gold flecks in it. It's very smooth and buttery when applied to the lips. I don't have to tug on my lips. Shockingly it doesn't feather either which is perfect for any red lip in my book. It last a long time without drying my lips out or moving all around the place. I am a huge fan of the new CoverGirl Outlast Longwear Moisture lipsticks and will definitely get my hands on a few other shades.

I decided to do a matte neutral eye that was a bit smoky to pair with this lip and I think it came out great (minus my brows). I decided to pull out some well loved, but neglected single eyeshadow to complete this look.

This look is very easy to do with only three eyeshadows and quick for any time of day. Whether you're a beginner or experienced this look can be accomplished. You can smoke it out further for the club or lightened up if you prefer something light and airy.

First Impressions | CoverGirl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation

Hello my loves!

Today I am here to share with you all my first impression and review of the CoverGirl Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation. I received this product in my I Do Voxbox from Influenster for review. I wanted to get this foundation ever since I found out it was released because I'm a huge fan of CoverGirl foundation Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation which gives a matte look, so I wanted to see if this would do the opposite -- give me the glow and great coverage.

CoverGirl says the following about their newest foundation:

Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation’s oil-free, non-greasy formula gives your skin a natural luminosity that lasts all day! Perfect for achieving radiant skin, this all day foundation hydrates skin while providing flawless coverage.

Planner Haul #7 | Hema Washi Tape & Sticky Notes

Hello my loves,

I am here to share with you all some new goodies I got from the Netherlands. I ordered a bunch of Hema products from 4 different shops on Etsy…mainly washi tape and a few sticky notes. I am completely obsessed with them and definitely plan to get my hands on more Hema products when I can.

I have been dying to try out some Hema products for a while and finally caved in to do so when I had the chance. Hema products are not sold in America so I had to order from somewhere reasonable and Etsy seemed like the place to go.

Skinnygirl Tasy Nutrition Bars

A delicious treat for brides! Keep your energy levels up on your big day with this wedding day essential. Available at all Target locations and Target.com. Price is $4.99 USD. 

The flavor they sent me was Chocolate Almond with Coconut and because I'm not a huge fan of coconut I didn't eat it, but my sister and my mother shared it and they fell head over heels with it. They said it tasted sweet, gave them enough energy and didn't seem like your traditional nutrition bar. I have tried other flavors and I must agree. This will definitely be in my wedding day kit.

Skincare Review | SK-II

 Hello my loves!

I recently did an unboxing of some SK-II products that I received for review courtesy of BzzAgent (click here) and now I'm back to do my full review and final thoughts of the products I received. I have used these products for a total of 7 days now and I'm excited to share my thoughts with you all.

I received the following in my kit: 1 fl oz bottle of the Facial Treatment Essence, 1 full size of the Facial Treatment Mask and a 0.51 oz container of the Essential Power Cream. The mask was great for one use. The Facial Treatment Essence has enough product to last me another 4 or 5 days. The Essential Power Cream should last me another 2-3 weeks depending on how I use it; either once or twice daily.

When I first received these products I was totally ecstatic about it because I've been dying to try some SK-II skincare products. I have heard so many great things about this brand and I'm a sucker for great skincare products.

Before I began into my thoughts on each of the products I want to share some quick information on the brands essential ingredient:

It all began with a stunning realization at a sake brewery in Japan. Over a decade of exhaustive research later, SK-II discovered Pitera™ — the secret to crystal clear skin 

This miracle ingredient is at the core of the revolutionary products SK-II offers. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is a liquid concentrate with 90% Pitera™ in every bottle. SK-II Facial Treatment Masks deliver an indulgent concentration of Pitera™ in a single application. SK-II Essential Power Cream contains Stem-Acanax and Pitera™ to radically improve firmness and reduce wrinkles. Your future isn’t limited by your DNA. With the right regimen, you can change your skin’s destiny. 

I must say that I am absolutely obsessed with their products. I cannot explain how much joy these products bring me. The results where quick, my skin feels hydrated and it's just a match made in heaven.
I have used these products for a week with having a dry patch on my face due to an insect bite and this not only added extreme hydrating which stopped the dryness, but also healed the mark unbelievably!

Keep in mind: I have only been using these products once a day in the morning, but it is recommended to use them twice daily. If I was using these products as instructed I am pretty sure the results would be even more outstanding.

Facial Treatment Mask

The first product I tried out was this mask and I will say I was completely iffy about trying this out because I have never tried a cloth mask before. I'm more of a clay or gel mask kind of girl. I, however, was completely stunned with how well this felt after getting adjusted to the cloth on my face.

This is a luxurious facial mask with an indulgent concentration of Pitera in a single application. Your skin is immediately and exceptionally immersed in moisturization, resulting in a visibly radiant and crystal clear complexion.

BzzAgent Unboxing | SK-II Products

Hello my loves,

Today is a great day! I am sharing with you all my unboxing of some SK-II products I received thanks to BzzAgent. I have been eyeing SK-II products for a very long time, but their prices had me double guessing the products. I am so glad they had this campaign with BzzAgent because now I can try them out and give you all my thoughts and feelings on these products.

Disclosure:

I received these products free from BzzAgent in exchange for a review. I am not being compensated for my thoughts and opinions. They are all my own.

I have never been so excited to unbox skincare products in my life before, but this has definitely filled that spot. These SK-II products are trial size products that will last about 3-6 weeks depending on how sparingly and how often you use them.

The products in this box are as follows:
