Review: Stila Ready For Take Off Cleansing Cloths

Hi Guys,

     After I ran out of my Say Yes To Cucumber cleansing wipes I thought I would try something new. So here it is my something new these are my Still Ready For Take Off Cleansing Cloths. I use these cloths to takeoff all my makeup before I go to bed. I can now officially say these are brilliant they takeoff all my makeup without irritating my skin or eyes which is amazing seeing as everything irritates my eyes. These are also moisturizing which was key in me choosing these and because my skin has been super dry lately and I didn't want anything that could possibly dry it out any farther. The only downside to these wipes is the smell individually I love the smell of all the ingredients but together there is something that I don't really like but that is something I am willing to deal with though. 

XOXO,

June Favorites⎜2014

Hi Guys,

     June has gone and I don't know where all the time went but the end of June can only mean one thing, July is here. Well yes but it's time for my monthly favorites posts.

Beauty:

Benefit's POREfessional 

     As I have mentioned on here quite a few times before I have really big ugly pores and I am always looking for something to conceal them so that when I apply my makeup it doesn't all sink and settle into them. The POREfessional has definitely helped a ton with that problem, I apply it to my skin before I apply my makeup by lightly blending and tapping it onto my skin with my fingers. This product helps my makeup stay all day and if you would like to check my out my full review click HERE.

Jordana FabuLiner

      This product is amazing for the easy and almost effortless application of eyeliner. The pricing for this product is another plus, coming in at only $2.29 plus tax. If you would like to read my full review click HERE.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch

     When these lip balms first came out I tried one and actually lost it before I could for a proper opinion about them. So after seeing lots of my friends use and rave about these I thought I would give it another try and pick one up . I chose the shade Pink Punch which sadly doesn't suit my skin tone properly, but any how I actually use this as a lip base to add an enhance the pink color in my lipsticks and make them last a lot longer. Plus while I wear this under my lipstick it actually really moisturizes my lips which is an excellent plus. I cannot wait to pick up another one in a different shade that may hopefully suit my skin tone better. I highly recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a lip product they can slip in their hand bag and easily apply without a mirror.

Nails:

SinFul Shine with Gel Tech Nail Polishes 

     During the summer I don't like to paint my nails all the time, actually scratch that anytime of the year I don't like having to paint my nails all the time. These nail polishes are one of my absolute favorite products at the moment because they already have a shiny finish so there is no need for a top coat, they are super pigmented, last for quite a while before chipping, and  only cost $2 at Walgreens.

Skincare:

Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub

      This is the perfect product to get your skin ready for shorts season and to make your skin. If you want to read my full review click HERE.

Fitness:

POPSUGAR Fitness


     I have been doing POPSUGAR's workouts for months now and I think these are fantastic because they bring some of Hollywood's most sot after trainers right to your fingertips. On their YouTube channel there is a workout for everybody, ranging from Victoria Secret workouts to Yoga. I absolutely suggest you check out their YouTube channel if you are looking for a way to change up your workout routine.

Book:

Brunette Ambition by Lea Michele

     Lea Michele has been one of my biggest role models for as long as I can remember and when I found out she was coming out with a book last year I could not wait to get my hands on a copy. The book gives an inside look into her experiences on Broadway and Glee, which show off her amazing work ethic and dedication to her craft. The book also has people such as her personal trainer showing you her workout routine, her makeup artist recreating some of her best red carpet makeup looks, and her hairstylist showing you how to recreate some of her best hairstyles. It also includes some of Lea's recipes, DIY spa treatments, and a love letter to Jonathan Groff (which if you are obsessed with this pair duo of friends like am will make you smile because it is so cute). I recommend this because it is a great easy read for anyone. 

Music:

Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour

     OMG CAN ENGLAND REALLY HAVE ANYMORE MUSICAL TALENTS POPPING UP? Well I guess they can because Sam Smith has caught my attention. His voice is what I can only explain as liquid gold, yes folks his voice is Velveta (my sad attempt at trying to be funny haha). His album is one of the only things I have been listening to lately and I cannot seem to get enough of it either. His lyrics are so relatable and heartfelt that anyone who listens to them will instantly fall in love with him and his album, think of his album as a male Adele with some EDM tracks thrown behind his songs. This album will definitely be on repeat all summer long. I will be writing a full review on his album so make sure to watch out for that very soon.

XOXO,

        Jackie

Review: Benefit's The POREfesional

Hi Guys,

      As you all know I have terrible pores and am always searching for the next miracle product to help ease their appearance. After hearing everybody and their mother talk about Benefit's The POREfessional I knew I had to get my hands on this products. This product is flipping amazing and really helps blur the appearance of my pores and keeps my makeup in place. I love that this is also slightly tinted so I can use this as a slight bit of extra coverage. This stuff also has a really pleasant smell to it too. 

      To apply this I squeeze a dime size amount onto my finger and pat this onto any places I have problematic pores (for me it is generally in my cheeks). To make sure everything is blended evenly on my skin I use a patting/rubbing motion to smooth it all out. I then apply my the rest of my makeup like usual and it looks ten times better than without this miracle little product.

XOXO,

     Jackie

What's in my travel makeup bag!

Hi Guys,

     Going on road trips is hands down one of my favorite things to do during the summer. Since I usually don't have to much makeup in my at home makeup bag in general the only challenging part was deciding over eyeshadow palettes and eyeliners, since I can't seem to live without one or the other. But I thought this would be a fun post to write anyway and if you guys are obsessed with unicorns like I am you will totally love my makeup bag.

Guys I promise I washed my brushes after I photographed them.

I promise it all fits into my little makeup bag.

Review: Sinful Shine Nail Polishes

Hi Guys,

     If you don't know by now I am completely a bargain hunter, but don't take that in the wrong way I still look for quality when I am shopping.  Sinful Nail Polishes are definitely one of my favorite bargain buys because they are just great quality for a ridiculously low price ($1.99 to be exact but you can find them on sale for just $0.99). When I saw that Sinful colors had a  come out with a shine version of their already amazing nail polishes I was so excited to try them. I bought six nail polishes in the shades Spitfire, Skinny Dipping, Wisp, Sailors Delight, Come Hither, and Dark Room.  I think the names of these polishes are so cute and make the product just that little but more special to pick up at your local drugstore. These are also really well pigmented and I only need to coats to get full color payoff and they last super long too. I had my last application on for about five days before I had any serious chipping. My favorite shade out of the ones I picked up is definitely Spitfire because it is just the perfect light lilac for summer and I think it would look beautiful any skin tone. I will be sure to be picking up more of these lovelies very soon.

XOXO,

       Jackie

Rimmel and Revlon Makeup Haul

Hi Guys,

     It seems now days that I am constantly in the Target beauty aisles and sending the majority of my money there. On this last trip I picked up quite a few Rimmel products and the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation which I have been curious about for months.

Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 'Sun Dance'

I actually picked this up because I was looking for a darker bronzer because I have gotten a little to tan for my NARS Laguna bronzer to work on me and wanted a rather cheap one.

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 'Hazel 002'

I finally have a real eyebrow product that isn't my Naked2 palette! I am honestly the most excited to try this products and really hope this is the right shade because my choices were this and black brown and that just seemed to bit to daunting a shade for me to purchase.

Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner in 'Sable'

During the summer I feel like black eyeliner can be a little to much for the weather and wanted to get a good brown eyeliner and had heard tons of great reviews about these Rimmel ones.

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in 'Eastend Snob'

Lip liners are great for summer because they last a lot longer than lipsticks and lip glosses and I really wanted to get one in a shade that is very my lips but better. By the looks of this one I think I have just the shade I was looking for.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in '180 Medium Beige'

Lastly I picked up the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation because I had heard a ton people raving about this and I needed a new foundation since I have almost run out of my Covergirl Stay Fabulous one.

XOXO,

    Jackie
