Beauty Product Reviews

Amazing!

This is a SERIOUS deep conditioner- I used to dye my hair blonde back in my chunky-stripper-highlights days and my hair got sooo brittle and dry, with tons of breakage... but using this kept my hair super soft, shiny, and healthy-looking. If you have really dry, coarse, color-treated hair, you have to give this hair mask a shot. You won't be disappointed! The only negative things about this product are the hefty price (almost $30 per jar), the fact that it can weigh hair down (I hate flat hair so I only used it once a week) and that it broke me out because of the silicones/oils. It works so well as a conditioner, though, that I would still definitely use it once in a while- when my hair is in desperate need of moisture.

THE MOST AMAZING BERRY SCENT EVER!

I was out shopping and was browsing through a bunch of bath and beauty products when, suddenly, I smelled the most amazing berry scent... I hunted down the fragrance until I saw a bunch of MOR Cosmetics Pomegranate products- they smelled like heaven! I think my eyes rolled back into my head when I smelled them... I probably made a few fellow customers pretty uncomfortable but I didn't care! MOR's Pomegranate products smell sooo juicy and fresh and sweet (but not sugary sweet like so many other body products out there...) I wish they made a perfume or body spray of this scent but for now I'll just have to settle for their bath products, which are now sold out at that store, by the way, because I bought every MOR Pomegranate product they had. I can't wait to take showers now because I always look forward to using this stuff! :)

A MUST-HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO FILLS IN HER BROWS!

This product is a LIFESAVER!!! I have VERY sparse eyebrows, thanks to my Asian heritage, and have to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in my brows every day. (As a beauty consultant, I know that your eyebrows make your whole face so I'm a perfectionist when it comes to them.) Unfortunately, I also have very oily skin, which makes my makeup slide and I've always had to touch up my eyebrows every couple of hours. (If I didn't, my eyebrows would be non-existent by the end of the day.) I've been doing this since I was 13 and I'm almost 26 now- so it's been over a decade of constantly filling my brows in throughout the day. Before finding this product, I was always scared that when my boyfriend touched my face, he'd wipe an eyebrow off by accident, which would be REALLY awkward. I also always avoided dipping my head in the water at the pool or beach because I knew that if I did, my eyebrows would be gone when I resurfaced. (Yes, it was that bad.) I was seriously considering having permanent makeup tattooed on my brows so I wouldn't have to worry about having an eyebrow wiped off all the time. When I saw this product, I did some quick googling to read its reviews and it has rave reviews everywhere. I bought a pack of 2 bottles from <a class='textlink' href='http://overstock.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>overstock.com</a> for $19.95 and I am SO HAPPY that I purchased this eyebrow sealer - it is a HOLY GRAIL product for me - this definitely seals my eyebrow color in place. It comes with 2 brushes: a small one that looks like a nail polish brush and a spoolie brush, which is the one I use. I definitely recommend this product to anyone and everyone who colors in their eyebrows and doesn't want to worry about having their brows fade, smear, or smudge anymore. A+++++++++!!!!

This lash primer is my new secret weapon ;)

I love this lash primer! I have short, stick-straight Asian eyelashes and I'm always trying to make them look longer and thicker but I never really bought into the whole lash primer thing that started a few years ago... I figured that it was just another useless product that people were convinced they needed just because it came out on the market. BUT, after trying this product, I can't live without it! I apply 1-2 coats under my favorite mascara, L'Oreal Telescopic, and my lashes look amazing! I love fake lashes but who has the time to apply them every day? Plus, I feel like falsies weigh down my eyelids so I don't want to wear them all the time or my lids my start drooping =/ This primer gives me super-long and thick lashes without flaking all over my face or weighing my lashes down. Love it!

My New Favorite Nail Polish Brand

I have Purple Panic (Neon) and Midtown Magic and I can't wait to get more from this brand. It's definitely my favorite brand so far and blows Essie (my ex-favorite) out of the water. You only need 1-2 coats max to get the perfect mani or pedi and the color selection is great. There are so many styles and collections to choose from, from shiny to matte, shimmery, glittery, holographic- everything a girl could want :) And at only about $6 a pop you can't beat the value... I'm in love!

Love Love LOVE!!!

OCC Lip Tars are total game-changers when it comes to lip color. These super-pigmented lip glosses are more like liquid lipstick. The color payoff is AMAZING and, if you have a pro account, they're only about $10 each. They're so smooth and easy to apply; I just squeeze out a little glob and apply it straight from the tube. They can settle into lines but if you use a balm underneath and add a gloss on top it's perfection. They last forever on my lips! Everything else rubs or melts off in an hour or less but not these! I also love that you can mix them to make your own custom colors. Right now, I'm working on a dupe of the elusive MAC Candy Yum Yum... Hopefully I'll have a video up by next week :)

Perfect Brush for Applying Foundation

This is definitely one of my staple brushes; it's perfect for applying liquid foundation. I dab foundation onto each cheek, my forehead, and chin, and then buff it in lightly with this brush. I only press hard enough that the shorter black bristles just touch my skin. After applying my foundation with this, my foundation lasts FOREVER and I seem to get more coverage out of it than if I just applied it with my fingers or a regular foundation brush. It looks amazing! I look airbrushed!

I call this the "Man-Catcher"... ;)

This is my signature fragrance. It's so sexy, warm, and inviting and my boyfriend (who HATES perfume) practically mauls me every time I wear it. It's a very grown-up vanilla perfume, with a hint of spice, woods, and musk. I want to make sweet love to myself every time I wear it... LOL. But I don't have to because my man is always glued to my neck when I wear this, sniffing me non-stop. I call this the "man-catcher" because it seems like this scent is irresistable to men, which made more sense to me after I found out that vanilla is an aphrodisiac. I can't say enough about this perfume! I know that not all scents work on everybody but this is something you MUST try and, if it works on you, definitely buy it because you won't be sorry!

Sick packaging and product!

I bought a bunch of these for dirt cheap from <a class='textlink' href='http://HauteLook.com' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>HauteLook.com</a>, $7 a piece (compared to approx $30 suggested retail price). The packaging is so cool- they come in little metallic black and silver compacts with the RR logo on the top and a mirror on the inside. Each compact is housed in a round black display box with the RR logo printed on top. So luxe! And the product is luxe, too- the colors I bought were very pigmented and the powder was silky smooth and fine. You only need the tiniest amount of product and the color payoff is great! It's even more amazing when applied with a damp brush. Very happy with these eyeshadows and I can't wait to get my hands on their blushes :)

High-end quality blush at drugstore prices!

Just got my first Sleek blush- "Suede" from the Nude Collection. I must say, Sleek's blushes really live up to the hype. The color is sort of a warm, tawny mocha with peachy undertones. It's like a Fall/Winter version of MAC Peaches (my fav!) because it's a little darker, more brown, and less bright. The color payoff is unbelievable considering the price (under $10 on Ebay). It's right up there with MAC blushes, as far as I'm concerned :) I can't wait to try more colors... I definitely want Pomegranate, Flamingo, and Santorini looks hot! Love it!
