Becca Cosmetics - The One Perfecting Brush Review

Image
Press Sample Recently, I was sent  Becca Cosmetics The One Perfecting Brush for review.  It is made of high quality Goat Hair which is non-porous so what ever you use it with will sit on top of the bristles instead of absorbing and wasting product.  It can be used start to finish with liquids, cremes, powders and any of your other favorite cosmetic items. I  have really enjoyed using this brush, it truly is a one brush does most.  My favorite task to use it for is finishing, it leaves my face with a soft, silky looking finish.  It is easy to clean, just follow the instructions inside the box or on their website, shape it back into place and let it dry thoroughly. You can read more about it or purchase it on their website at Becca Cosmetics , it retails for $49. *Provided for my honest review.

Beauty Box 5 January 2014 Review

Image
Press Sample   Hi Everyone! This is my 3rd month receiving Beauty Box 5 for review.  This months box is based on the movie That Awkward Moment .  It is due out in theatres January 31st, 2014, and stars Zac Efron.  He is such a cutie and this movie will probably be one I will go and see just because he is in it. Here's what was included in this months box: As you can see the Nubar Cuticle & Nail Oil would retail for $10 for 0.5 oz, this is a generous sized mini .25 oz, which would mean a $5 value.  The Swissco Bath & Shower Exfoliating Gloves are $5.  The Epic Blend Hemp Coconut Lip Balm is $3.39.  The H20 Plus and Jergens Daily Moisturizer are generous sample sizes.  As a bonus, a Mirror Compact with the movie name printed on it was included. I will put everything to use that came in this box, especially the Nubar Cuticle Oil and the Epic Blend Lip Balm.  This Winter has taken a tole on my whole body and while I normal don't use thes...

Dior Psychedelic Orange Review - Dior Day Blogger Linkup

Image
Hi Everyone! I am back to blogging finally!  Thanks for all your patience through a very rough time in my life.  Back in July 2013, I flew to Las Vegas for Cosmoprof North America.  One of my favorite things to do after the show was to go shopping at The Forums Shops At Caesars .  One of the first shops I went into was Dior, I was hooked immediately.  I did not have any Dior Beauty products so I purchased my first polish, Psychedelic Orange and a lip pencil to match.  Since then, my Dior collection has increased by 2 or 3 more polishes and a Gel Top Coat which I love! I chose today to finally show you this polish because a group of bloggers are linking together for Dior Day Blogger Linkup.  Psychedelic Orange is almost a jellish cream polish.  I used 3 coats above and you can still see a little VNL, but this doesn't bother me one bit.  Even though it didn't need it I did top it with one coat of the Dior Gel Coat, which is my favorite top coat...
