Review: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

After months and months of hearing about these products, I finally gave in and got one. 

After all the hype I didn't have much hope for this product living up to expectations so I was pleasantly surprised! Hyped up products usually surprise me in the wrong way... 

It is a baked powder that looks alot like the MAC mineralized skin finish naturals, with a slight shimmer. The powder gives a glowy appearance without looking glittery and can be used all over the face of just as a highlight. It comes in several shades, all designed to work with different undertones and for different purposes. 

I picked up the powder in Radiant Light which gives a beautiful golden finish which is subtle enough for all over the face.

Hear me talk about it below!

Review: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

I promise you there will be more variety in my posts soon, once I get my stuff together for the photographs. 

How am I doing so far? 

Here's another review for you guys from my YouTube channel, this product has been so hyped up I decided it was a must-try, and well...... 

Review: Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

I have recently been using an acne treatment.... I know, strange... 

But I do get the odd blemish here and there so I decided that I needed a spot treatment to help me out. Since I already love the Mario Badescu line of skincare, I chose to go with their Drying Lotion. 

This product is lovely! I see almost overnight results on my blemishes and at most my blemishes take 2 days to clear away (or die as I like to say). 

You use the treatment on clean skin at night. Using a Cotton swab (Q-tip) you dip the swab through the liquid layer and into the pink powder at the bottom of the bottle (do not shake the product, the powder is supposed to settle). Then dot the product  directly onto the blemishes and you're good! The powder will be a paste that dries up similarly to a clay mask, and you wash it off the next morning. 

The Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is affordable, coming in at $17.00 at Ulta. It is a great quality product and I recommend that you guys try it out. 

I did a full video review on my YouTube channel, and you can check it out below. 

Let me know if you try it and if you like it!

Review: Maybelline New York COLORsensational The Elixir

My first review!!! Here we go... 

I've been looking for these for a while now and recently found them at Target. I was delighted by the number of vibrant colors available, and I selected my two favorites. 

Left: Vision In Violet | Right: Signature Scarlet

 I really love the packaging of these lipsticks. They look like regular lipsticks with clear tops, but they are actually packaged like lip glosses with doe-foot applicators. 

The colors are vibrant and opaque, and the product applies smoothly and is long wearing. 

I love them!!! They get two thumbs up from me and I hope you check them out!!!
