Holy Smokes!!!!
My whole life I've been on a search for an HG mascara, some have come close but I never really stick to the same one for to long. 1st off let me start by saying I wish I would of tried this mascara sooner because I would of found as close to an HG as possible!!!! This mascara is super black which I LOVE the deeper the pigment the better. The brush is like none I've quite seen, it's bristles are firm yet comb like and it's got this little ball tip that reaches the inner part of the upper lashes and works great on the bottom, it gets every single lash. It is not clumpy what so ever, so at first with only one coat I was a little worried that it wasn't going to do much. After coat 3 I had to do a double take in my mirror because it looks like I have on full, lush, smokey false lashes on!!! The reason why I only gave it 4 and one half stars is because having to use 3 coats to achieve these lashes I will go through it a lot faster but if this is the result then it's worth IT!!! I did use it in conjunction with the tightline primer which I will also review (:
you need this nail polish
I'm reviewing this set because even though I do own it, they do not make this set anymore some or most of the full size colors are still available in permanent line. I don't know what exactly makes these the best nail polishes I've ever used but they are by far the closest you can get to having your nails professionally done. The wear time is about 7 days on these babies, they will stay Shiney and chip free, the color pigmentation is very thick and strong with these polishes. I still use 2 coats but could even get away with 1. They have so many colors and special effects top coats to choose from and they are all amazing quality. This is hands down the best of the best when it comes to polishes, I won't use anything else since these came out Thank you Sephora (:
Just love this stuff
This is my 2nd review on The vitality lip flushes, the 1st one I reviewed was "Je Ne Sais Quoi" the clear version of this product. This stain here I can describe as a color like my lips but even better. It has all the same qualities as the 1st one I reviewed silky soft and non sticky, the way I want a gloss to feel, but leaves behind this light flush of color. It brightens my face and makes my lips look amazing. I'm so glad I was able to try these out because they are literally everything you want in ONE lip product. I would love to see these in darker versions eventually but I'm sure they will be just as great as these. I am now seeing what all the fuss is about IT cosmetics, and I'm asking myself why I waited so long to try them out (:
Just Stunning
I can't get enough of reviewing Lit glitter, I own so many I've lost count. I use them on my eyes over lipstick and as a top coat for my nails, I've still to this day NEVER found any other cosmetic grade glitter that can hold a candle to these babies. So as for this color Northern Lights omg it is stunning at first glance it looks like just a crystal like sparkling glitter but when applied it has the most beautiful lavender, lilac, shift to it I mean just beautiful. I've tried this over too faced melted Fig, and with any matte lavender eyeshadow like macs wow factor or even sugarpill frostine shade from the sparkle baby palette. This glitter just pops and draws all the attention to wherever you put it. Bottom line I LOVE LIT (:
Wow really is UNIVERSAL
I normally use 3 products on my eyebrows, a pencil, followed by a clear wax and finally a tinted gel. I was very interested in the fact that this product claims to be universal but in all honesty it really is. I'm usually not a fan of this type of applicator I find I have a harder time using this then a brush, but this however glides on smoothly and evenly with a steady hand. the best way to apply it is by making 3 small dots on eyebrow even with bridge, middle and lower part of nostril. The way you apply the pressure is what makes it universal. For lighter brows use lighter strokes, medium use medium strokes and deep use heavy strokes. I start with the most inner part of my brow and work my way outward as in a way of connecting my dots. Any extra simply wipes away with your finger, after application take the spooled end of the pencil and brush through brows. My result is a nice looking full and almost smokey look very natural and clean. I would love a matching universal shade in wax/gel to apply over just because my brows are a little unruly at times and need a little something more to keep them in place. But overall this is a fantastic product and very high luxurious. This would be my only brow product if mine weren't so unruly at times. "IT"has made another wonderful product that I will continue to use(:
Dry Lips Be Gone
"Je Ne Sais Quoi" or as they say "I know not what". Well the name of this lip flush is exactly that!!! I suffer from extremely dry dehydrated peeling lips on a daily, partly and mostly due to the fact that I'm a matte and liquid lipstick fanatic. I constantly buffing scrubbing and slathering them with whatever current balm I own. But now will change!!! This flush is literally everything in one tube the ingredients and essential oils in this one product are the best + vitamins, "It" is literally a lip lift and reviver in a tube. I applied this under one of my kvd liquid lipsticks which are normally super drying by the end of the day, and applied over to keep initial application looking fresh. The results are as follows: My lips stay healthy and hydrated This product will replace ALL of your previous lip care needs It can be worn alone for a healthy non sticky burst of moisture it can be worn over your current favorite lipstick for continuous hydration it's cruelty free it's loaded with everything we look for and often have to buy seperated forms it does not leave behind a nasty sticky inner rim on your lips and finally they also come in colored stain forum, this shade here is clear but I will be reviewing a colored one as well. All in all "IT" cosmetics has a huge hit with this product, if you try any new lip treatments this year make this one IT, you will find it to be a well worth all in one product (:
HOLY SMOKES
If I could give this 10 stars I would this is the #powerhouse of foundations. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to foundation and face products, I will use the same foundation for anywhere from 2 to 4 years without switching brand. My skin is super super oily so I already have a hard time finding a foundation and powder that dosent slide off like grease within a few hours. My foundation up until now was mufe matte velvet + but even with that and the pro finish powder, primer and rcma finishing powder I still have to blot on average of 4 times through my work shift. I love kvd and I feel like it's a brand that gets kinda overlooked at times, I felt it was time for a change and BAM I'm so glad I did. I bought this shade and also #54 for the months when I'm a little less tan, both are an amazing match with my skin. This foundation is flawless silky and full of pigment, I've had it on for 12 hrs now and it still looks fresh and the best part I've only had to blot a total of 1 time in my t-zone. I find her brand to be one of the top when it comes to getting your money's worth.....thank you for making this oily woman a happy one (:
Way to sticky
I received this in a deluxe sample from Sephora, I was excited to try it because it states you can use it on lids as well, most eye treatments are for under eye use only. 1st off I only use a small amount a dab on each eye with a quick tip, after it dries my skin feels very tight almost like I have an eye mask or something on, not to mention it burns as well. Also it peels off the skin like a mask as well. Most Ole products are amazing I'm a huge fan of the African red tea line but this one just missed in my book (;
The name says it ALL
I have a hard time with most fragrance staying on my skin, this perfume however has a scent that leaves behind a long lasting smell especially in my hair and on my sweaters. The notes is this perfume are very spicy and warm definitely not a perfume for people who like light floral. The white is a more softer scent but if your a bold kind of girl like me then the black is the way to go......Nirvana definitely describes this scent masculine yet feminine at the same time love it (:
