When Sheet Mask Review

One of my favorite and go-to face products have to be sheet mask. I use them before events, when I need a little me time. They are easy to use with minimal mess what is not to like. I have used When Mask in 10:00 PM and Glamour Base before so now I get to experience the whole pack. Each mask has its own purpose, for example they hydrate, brighten, and rejuvenate your skin.

Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Cleansing Oil-Crème Duo Review

When it comes to my hair, I have struggled so long to be satisfied with it. I have color treated hair that is also damage, dry and frizzy. I have so much hair it weighs it down so achieving volume is almost impossible. I have always wanted to do my hair different styles but I get so discouraged when I cannot get anything remotely close to any Youtube tutorials. With the  Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Cleansing Oil-Crème Duo I was able to see a difference in my hair on the first use. My hair is soft to the touch, Easier to detangle and dry with a blow dryer. it is a low-foam cleanser you use in between washes. It is gentle and does not remove your natural oils. It is an oil-in-cream moisturizer that helps to soften, silken, tame, de-frizz, detangle, and protect very dry hair.

Guest Post: Important Rules for Younger Skin After 40 by Diana Smith

You probably never thought about your skin in your 20s and you could just wash your face and go. However, 20 years later some bigger skincare measures need to be taken. Also, some of the products you used to use when you were younger might be too harsh or drying on your aging skin. All those changes and sensitivity appear due to decreased production of collagen and elastin which keep our skin young, fresh and almost indestructible. So, in order to replenish collagen and elastin and help your skin recover faster, there are some changes to be made. Daily skincare The first most important element of daily skincare is hydration. Since your skin can get easily damaged by weather conditions, you have to make sure it gets enough moisture to get you through the day. Accordingly, you need to apply moisturizers every day before going out or going to bed. Also, it is essential to use sunscreen with some moisturizing effects. Furthermore, your makeup products should help you pre...

How to Style Kateryna

I am absolutely in love with this shoe! Kateryna from Just Fab is a great piece to add to your wardrobe. It is sexy, trendy, flirty, feminine all in one! It is a black (comes in pink and dusty blue) faux suede block heel with strappy ankle ties. These are true to size although they feel a bit snug in the beginning they are very comfortable. Because it has been raining here in San Diego and it has been so cold I could not risk for my severe cough to get any worst. So I decided to do some outfit flat lays so you can get an idea how to pair these beauties. This works for mostly all body types whether you are slim or curvy there is no going wrong with these outfits. For this outfit I chose a white bodysuit and a flare mini skirt. This goes great with a black/gold choker and some classic sunnies.  BodySuit: Forever 21 Skirt: Victoria's Secret Pink Shoes: Kateryna Just Fab Choker: Windsor Phone Case: Kate Spade Sunglasses: Versace (linked items are available ...

Taupe Monochromatic OOTD

This is the first time I wear a monochromatic look and I used Just Fab Connie and this beautiful Asymmetrical Long Sleeve Dress. These are still available if you are interested. I am fairly short so this dress looks much longer on me than it should. I love the color and the fabric is very stretchy and comfortable. I got a size too big as well but I am still happy on how it looks on me. This is the perfect dress to go out on a date or even for work.   Dress:  Just Fab Asymmetrical Long Sleeve Dress in Taupe Shoes: Just Fab Connie in Dark Taupe Bracelet: Custom Endless Jewelry by Jennifer Lopez

Your Secret Weapon Against Blemishes

You give your body a detox why not do the same to your face. So what does this mean to you? Well is you have oily skin (like I do) you know that your skin is acne prone. Not only do you get acne but congested pores looks really bad when you do your makeup. Using the  Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask and Purifying Daily Detox Scrub I was able to get rid of the excessive oil and dirt on my skin.  There’s no better way to feel refreshed than with a face mask. 

Hask Hair Chia Seed Oil Volumizing Collection Review

I am very excited to share yet gain a Hask product I am absolutely in love with. This is the Hask Chia Seed Oil Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner duo that have hydra boost. I have always had straight hair and liveless for that matter so a volumizing shampoo is exactly what I need. With previous Hask products I have had great results so I had high hopes for this one since the beginning.  What I love about this collection is that it is free of sulfates, parabens, alcohol and artificial colors. Hask has a variety of products for your special hair needs, including  Hask give results they added volume to my usually straight hair. My hair looks healthier and gives me a natural bounce that I usually achieve by blow drying my hair and teasing it.  Hask Hair products are very affordable, you get salon quality hair for the price of drugstore. They are $6 a piece and in my opinion a great investment for your beauty routine. They save you time and money and I reco...

DERMA E Hydrating Day and Night Creme

Finding a good Hydrating creme is hard for me, let alone a night and day creme. I have acne prone skin since I have an oily t zone. I usually struggle getting the right product for me. The creme is a bit thick so a little goes a long way. My favorite is the night creme. I dab a bit around my face and neck and wake up feeling soft and smooth. This cream contains hyaluronic acid which is very hydrating to the skin. You can find same components as the higher end ones sold at cosmetic counters or even in the dermatologists' or plastic surgeon's offices. It isn't greasy, but like I mentioned it has a thicker consistency. Something that is really noticeable is the strong fragrance. The fragrance is not a problem for me I actually enjoy it. I have not had any issues with acne or irritation which is always a plus.  The packaging is clean, modern and fitting for the product. Derma e is affordable and can be found in many online stores including Amazon and retail stores in...

#ARMANIBEAUTY VOXBOX

Thanks to Influenster I was able to review one of the most amazing eyeshadows I have ever used. I have received so many Voxbox in the past and I feel like they are getting better and better every time.  This time I received #ArmaniBeauty Voxbox that had a few goodies inside that I am absolutely love.  The Georgio Armani Eye Tints: Gold Ashes (#12) Nude Smoke (#24) and Fur Smoke (#21)   and the Eccentrico mascara. At first I was a bit scared of using liquid eyeshadow but I love the brand and have heard so many great things about it. After applying it, it was easy to blend. The shadow has great pigmentation.  I absolutely love the eyeshadow look that I have created using all three of the shadows. The shadows I received were a great compliment to my skin tone. The color stays without creasing and last hours.  Disclaimer: Products received for reviewing purposes from Influenster and Armani Beauty. 

Studio Gear Cosmetics Mineral Dry Powder Foundation Review

I absolutely love trying out foundation that fits perfect to my makeup routine. When I found out I was going to receive Studio Gear Mineral Wet/Dry Foundation I was really excited because I wanted a setting powder that was my actual skin color. I was surprised to learn that it acts as a 4 in 1 foundation. 1. Mineral Powder: Keep it simple and buff Foundation into skin on it's own or over primer. 2. Serum Foundation: Mix it Up with Revitalizing Day Serum to create custom, super moisturizing coverage. (Tip, you can also mix with your favorite SPF) 3. Mattifying Finishing Powder: Take it on the go to set your liquid make-up and stay matte all day. 4. Cream Contour: Mix up darker and lighter shades with Protective Day Lotion for creamy, blendable, custom contour. If you want a light coverage it is perfect to use dry, the brush works perfectly with the powder either wet or dry. in this look I used the powder as a finishing setting powder to give me a nice even look. I...

Along with it a cute ivory zip travel bag that has plenty of room for other makeup and toiletries. Since I always travel for my birthday this couldn't come at a better time. The travel set includes:

July Ipsy vs Birchbox

Beauty subscription boxes have been the greatest and latest thing in the beauty community because you get to try out new products before committing to purchasing a full size product. So what are the advantages? I think these are great. You get them delivered for $10 and get 5 or so mini to full sized products to try out based on a quiz regarding your beauty preferences. So here it goes, I have been a member of Birchbox for two months I received the June Box and July and I absolutely hated both boxes. Yes they are inexpensive, yes the packaging is cute and better than Ipsy but they give me the wrong products. I decided to cancel my Birchbox subscription. I received products I cannot use because they do not fit me such as a face treatment for dry skin. A lip stain that was ruined when I opened the box. I received an email saying that I chose that on my profile. Most of the products are either hair or face products which one I do not use products in my hair when I style and 2 I have ...

When Face Mask Review

We all deserved to fell pampered once in a while and why not enjoy fresh smooth skin after you apply one of When's face mask. I was lucky enough to try out 2 of their mask the 10:00 PM mask and the Glamour Base mask. The packaging is great, easy to open and with simple illustrated instructions. I like that all the mask specialize in something for example the 10:00 PM mask makes your face look refreshed. Another great thing about the mask is that they actually fit and stay on your face. I have had mask that would literally slide off my face. The serum is cool the entire time you actually wear the mask. After 30 minutes my face felt smooth, clean, refreshed and last all through-ought the night.

ColourPop UltraMatte Lipstick

I am so excited to try out the Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lipsticks. First off I never actually believed in the packaging of a tube and a wand. I have always just purchased lipsticks. Another thing although it was so big was the actually believing a gloss like cosmetic can actually stay matte. Opening the package it came in a bubble envelope so the lipstick package was squished, no big deal nothing was broken. You get a few cute little items like the postcard and flyer for the collection you ordered. 

L'Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Review

How much damage do you do to your hair alone in one month? Straightening, blow drying, curling everyday using multiple tools to achieve that perfect hair do. I know I do and because of this my hair has suffered drastically. I love getting Influensters VoxBox, this time I was part of the L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil VoxBox. This collection is meant for people who have dry coarse hair like myself. I received 4 full sized products: a nourishing shampoo, conditioner, transform oil in creme and lustrous oil serum. First off I want to mention that I love the packaging. It reminds me of silk and honey automatically I believe that my hair will be soft. Usually with products I have used in the past I have had the problem where the oils are either too heavy or oily leaving your hair looking dirty instead of healthy.  The L’Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil gives you everything you need from start to finish to achieve looks that give you volume, soft, and man...
