Caudalíe Resveratrol Eye Lifting Balm Review

You can purchase the full size product at Sephora for $62. So its quiet pricey. I received this sample size in my August Sephora Play Box. 

This is an innovated eye cream that visibly lifts and smooths the eye area with a breakthrough patented formula while reducing the look of dark circles and puffiness. 

It is free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates. 

This eye cream did not have any significant scent to it. It was a really nice consistency, somewhere between a lotion and a serum. It was not runny at all like some eye creams can be and it really minimized the under eye puffiness. 

Would I purchase? Possibly, if the price wasn't so high

CoverGirl Katy Kat Eye Mascara Review

You can purchase this mascara at Ulta for $8.99.
This mascara claims to give an all day cat eye. The benefits is claims are 10x volume and darkness, 360 degree sculpting brush to sweep your lashes up and out, won't smudge or smear, and it removes easily with soap and water. It is also Opthamologically tested.
This mascara has a really unique twisted wand. I got lots of length and volume with one coat and it just got better if I used more coats. The only problem I had that it was very smudgy and I had to fix it several times throughout the day.

Would I purchase? No

Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes Review

You can purchase these makeup wipes at Ulta for $6.49. 

These facial wipes claim to gently remove dirt, sweat and makeup. They are 98.7% natural, biodegradable, oil- free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and Dermatologically and Opthalmologically Tested. 

These makeup wipes had a nice, refreshing cucumber scent. They had just the right amount of wetness. They took my makeup off with 1 wipe and my face felt clean. 

Overall, I did not notice any difference than other wipes I have used. 

Would I purchase? Sure if they are on sale someday. 

Umberto Lifting Powder Review

You can purchase this lifting powder for $11.99 at Target. I recently received this product in a Target Beauty Box and was really excited to try it. I have very fine hair that never really has any lift and volume to it so I was very hopeful this would work. 

To use this powder you are to sprinkle it onto dry hair at the roots to add volume to your hair. It also claims to add texture and control frizz and be a style extender. It is compatible with all hair types and colors. 

There was no real scent to this product which was nice. I had great volume with no white residue. Unfortunately, my hair style did not last all day and within hours there was no volume.

Would I purchase? No

Clark's Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask Review

I decided to take a break from sheet masks for this mask Monday post.

You can purchase the full size of this mask for $72 on Amazon so it is quiet pricy. 

This mask claims to revitalize aging and environmentally stressed skin. 

You can use this year round to nourish skin and restore a natural glow and over time the look of wrinkles will diminish.

To use you apply a layer on clean, dry skin and leave it on for 15-20 minuets and then rinse off. 

I really liked this mask. It smelled like soap and was very creamy to apply. It is a thicker consistency which is why I did not like it as a moisturizer, but as a mask it was wonderful. It was very refreshing and my face felt very hydrated. 

Would I purchase? No but only because of the price. 

September Sephora Play Unboxing

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara Review

You can purchase this mascara at Ulta for $9.99. 

This mascara claims to make your lashes look healthier and longer. The tubes of the mascara are suppose to make your lashes 80% longer.  This is a two- step mascara. The first step nourishes your lashes and the second step lengthens your lashes. It also claims to be clump free, smudge proof and long wearing with easy removal with water. 

I found that this mascara was very easy to apply and it did make my lashes longer. I will add before and after pictures below. I found that it looked natural as well. I did not have any flaking or smudging and it lasted all day till I removed it at bedtime. It was really easy to remove with water. The only complaint I have is that my lashes felt sticky for quiet awhile after I applied it but it did eventually dry down and the stickiness went away. 

Would I purchase? Maybe, I do have other mascaras I reach for more frequently. 

12 Benefits Instant Healthy Hair Treatment Review

You can purchase this hair treatment at Walgreens for $20.

You are suppose to spray your hair liberally with this treatment before you go swimming or blow- dry your hair. It is a leave in treatment. 

The 12 benefits it claims to treat are: seal color, smooth frizz, repairs damage, prevent split ends, moisturize dry hair, strengthen fragile hair, prevents flat iron damage, protects from chlorine, wind and sun damage, adds shine, softness and silkiness, protects from blow drying, improves texture and manageability, anti aging. 

I really liked this product. It does have a fruity scent to it but it wasn't strong and it left my hair smelling good all day. My hair was very manageable and moisturized. It was very shiny and frizz free. My hair also looked thick and strong. 

Would I purchase? Yes!

L'Oréal Revitalift Volume Filler Review

You can purchase this L'Oréal Revitalift Volume Filler at Ulta for $24.99. I am pretty sure you can purchase it at Walmart and Target as well. 

This Cream Claims to visibly improve your skins volume. It uses Hyaluronic Acid and Fiboxyl to stabilize volume, fullness and resilience. It also claims to fill out wrinkles and expression lines. 

This cream has a strong floral scent, so if scents bother you, this is probably not for you. It did absorb right into my skin and was very moisturizing. I did not notice any difference in my skins volume or anything though. 

Would I purchase? Probably not

Leaders 7 Wonders Tundra Cranberry Anti-Aging Mask Review

You can purchase this sheet mask at Ulta for $6.00

These 7 wonders mask use a contour and fit technology that provides exceptional skin adherence for optimal results. 

To use this sheet mask you apply it to clean skin, leave on for 20-25 minuets and than remove. 

I really liked this mask. It has a light fruity scent and is very refreshing. It was saturated but not drippy. Unlike the other mask I tried of this type, this on fit on my face perfectly. My face felt soft, hydrated and firm after using this mask. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Colour Pop Creme Gel Linder Review

You can purchase this liner on the Colour Pop Website for $5. I received the color Swerve which is a basic black liner. I believe there are 26 different colors. 

This creamy liner claims to blend easy and dry into long lasting wear. 

This liner was really easy to apply, it just glides right on. It was a lighter black than I am use to, which wasn't terrible but I know some people like very dark pigmented black liners. It lasted all day but I did have some smudging under my eyes towards the end of the day. 

Would I purchase? Probably not

Got 2 B Glued Review

My boyfriend received this in a Target For Men Beauty Box. You can purchase the full size for $4.19 at Target. 

This product claims to have a hold so strong your style will last till your next shampoo. 

This spiking glue has a fruity scent. It is a thick and sticky consistency, like glue. The style lasted all day but hair was left with that sticky, crunchy feeling. 

Would I purchase? No

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick Review

You can purchase this Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick at Sephora for $21. There are 39 colors in 3 different finishes. The one I have is in the color Sexier in the Matte Finish. 

This lipstick claims to be lasting- wear, one- swipe payoff and velvet- touch comfort. 

It is free of Parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. 

These lipsticks are infused with an antioxidant complex to leave you lips soft and they have a Creme Brûlée scent. 

This lipstick smelled good enough to eat! The pigmentation was amazing! It really only takes one- swipe to have awesome coverage. It was not completely transfer proof at first but after a little bit it stayed put for about 6 hours and that was including eating and drinking. Now I want to get all the colors lol.

Would I purchase? Yes! My new favorite lipstick!

Profusion Insider Beauty Network Unboxing/Review

I recently was selected to join the Profusion Insider Beauty Network. I will randomly get shipments of their products to test out for free. This was my first shipment I received and I was pretty impressed!

This was the first item. It is their Treasure Box Makeup Set. It contains 35 eyeshadows, 10 lip glosses, 2 blushes, 1 bronzer, 1 highlight, 3 brushes, and 1 eyeliner pencil. You can purchase it for $12.49 on their website Profusion Cosmetics. There are shimmer, matte and glitter eyeshadows so there are plenty of options for different eye looks. 

I will start with the eyeliner. It is just your typical black eyeliner pencil. It wasn't my favorite but it was still good. 

Out of the 10 Lip glosses only one was not very pigmented. They were really smooth and I really liked them. They were not long lasting but I don't really expect glosses to be long lasting. This is the swatches of the glosses. 

The blushes are so beautiful. They both looked fantastic on and lasted all day. The highlighter did not really work with my skin tone but it is still pretty. The bronzer was PERFECT for me! I loved it! It as well, lasted all day. These are the swatches.

I found the eye shadows were just as long lasting as a high end brand. The mattes were nice. Some were more pigmented than others and I found the lighter colors to be pretty dusty. The shimmers were my favorites. Every single one was really pigmented and looked beautiful. The glitter shadows however, were not my favorite. They were just really glittery and dusty. They were pigment and pretty shades but I ended up with glitter everywhere! 

This was the second item in my package. It is their Precise Eyes Gel Eyeliner set. It contains 6 eyeliners in the colors Silver, Plum, Teal, Forest Green, Gunmetal, and Black Pearl. They have a thin marker like tip and color that stays in place. It claims to go on smoothly and last all day. They are also waterproof. You can purchase these on Profusion Cosmetics for $6.99.

These are beautiful colors. I especially liked the silver and forest green. These lasted all day without and smudging or flaking. I really liked these liners. They went on very smoothly as well. This is the swatches of the liners. 

Overall, I am very happy with all of these products!

This mask did not have any noticeable scent and while it was very saturated it was not drippy. It was very soothing and hydrating and it cleared up all the redness in my cheeks. 

Would I purchase? Yes! As soon as I go to Ulta again!

Scent Bird Unboxing/ Review

I just recently received my first Scentbird monthly fragrance. They have a couple different ways you can subscribe. Month to Month is $14.95, 6 month plan is $84, and the annual plan is $162. You get a 30 day supply (or more if you don't use it as frequently) of whatever scent you choose that month. They have hundreds of perfumes that you can choose from. 

For my first month I picked out Michael Kors Rose Radiant Gold. It has rich florals and soft-to-touch musks. I think it is the perfect transition from my summery scents to fall scents. 

They also advertise the next month's perfume of the month. Which is nice if you want to change you choice for the next month. 

The perfumes come in a little velvet bag and they can be switched out of your little case. They are perfect size to slip in your purse!

Lancôme Énergie De Vie Smoothing and Glowing Liquid Care Moisturizer Review

I got this moisturizer in my August Sephora Play Box and was really excited to try it. You can purchase the full size at Sephora for $55. So it is a little pricey. 

This moisturizer is good for all skin types. It claims to refresh, protect and hydrate tried skin for an instant dewy glow. It also claims to be the solution for dullness, uneven texture and dryness. It is paraben, sulfate and phthalate free. 

It is thicker than an essence but thinner than a moisturizer, which is perfect for a hot day when you don't want anything heavy on your face. It also contains Goji Berry which protects from free radicals and Lemon Balm to soothe and refresh. 

You apply immediately after cleansing your face by placing a few drops in your hands and press it gently into your skin. 

I really liked everything about this moisturizer except the scent. I found it to be a really strong perfume scent. It is a neat consistency. Its somewhere between an oil and a serum. It is very light weight and not greasy at all. It soaked right into my skin, leaving my skin very hydrated and dewy. 

Would I purchase? Probably not

I received this hair mask awhile back in a Sephora Play Box. You can purchase the full size product at Sephora for $9-$36 depending on the size you purchase. 

This hair mask intensely hydrates hair and is made with naturally derived ingredients to restore and replenish hair. This mask uses Argan Oil to repair, soften and reduce frizz and Avocado Oil to deep condition and enhance shine without weighing down hair. 

This mask claims to repair damaged hair, enhance shine, and reduce breakage but up to 81% after 3 uses. 

To use this hair mask after you shampoo your hair, massage the mask into hair from root to tip and leave on for 5-10 minuets before rinsing. 

It is free of sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates, artificial colors, and chemical fragrances. It is also cruelty- free, color-safe, and safe for use on chemically treated hair. 

This hair mask has a slight coconut/tropical scent. I did not really care for this product. It was very heavy in my hair, leaving my hair weighed down and greasy looking. It was very hydrating just not the product for my fine hair. 

Would I purchase? No

Leaders 7 Wonders Caribbean Coconut Calming Mask Review

I have heard so many good things about these 7 Wonders masks so I was very excited to finally try some. You can purchase this mask at Ulta for $6.00 so its not the cheapest mask but its not the most expensive either.

This calming mask claims to calm red and irritated skin and leave skin soothed and refreshed.

To use this mask apply to clean, dry skin and leave on for 20-25 minuets and than remove. 

I was really disappointed with this mask. I could not get the mask to stay put on my face so I ended up holding it onto my face for the 20 minuets. My face did look really refreshed and moisturized, so I was happy with my results. I just wasn't happy that it would not stay put. 

Would I purchase? No

I received this sample in a Sephora Play Box awhile back. You can purchase the full size at Sephora for $31.00. 

This is a first of its kind hair cream that claims to add body and enhance fine to medium hair textures for the perfect air dried style. 

To use this product just work this hair cream evenly in your hair while scrunching or twisting as desired to add volume and wave. If your hair tends to frizz you can apply this and than braid or twist hair into loose bun for 10-20 minuets to help contain puffiness.
