Hello Everyone!

I've looked for this collection at my local rid aid and they just never had it, so I decided to order it online. 

If you haven't already noticed I do love me some nail polishes.

I try to re-do my nails at least twice a week. 

This past week I wasn't so inspired to paint my nails because I kept alternating the same colors so I needed some new polishes in my life and these are perfect!

This collection is from the colab with Jesse's Girl Cosmetics and JulieG called the 'Perfect Pair'.

The Perfect Pair

Hello Everyone!
This past weekend I made these cool marshmallow pops for my cousin's baby's 1st Birthday, they were pretty fun to make so of course I wanted to share with you all.
These are so easy to make!
I'm no baker so I didn't want to stress about stuff not tasting good but I still wanted to contribute something to the baby's party. So I jumped on Pinterest which by the way I'm obsessed with, but anyways I found these easy to make pops so I got everything I needed in one day and made them the day of the party so they would be fresh.
I hope you enjoy this different post, in case you have a party to go to or your own kids party to plan this is a great idea. I also think it would be cute to set up a table where the kids can make their own marshmallow pops and create different looks and add their own favorite toppings.

Hello Everyone!
I bring you another review from my most recent beauty haul.
I was very excited to try out all the new products out in the drug store so I couldn't wait to share my thoughts with you all.
Today I bring you a foundation review!

Covergirl truBlend Liquid foundation Review 

Price: $8.00-$10+ 
(On Sale at Walgreens for $8.99)

What it Claims:

Perfect blend (21 shades available)
Light to Medium Coverage
Easy to match
For a better look match them with other Covergirl products with the same number for a flawless look.  

Source: Covergirl.

Is it new!?
This is actually not a new product as far as I can tell. I've seen it in stores before, but they have given it a different look.  I think they did a great job on the new packaging it attracts your attention a lot more.
Packaging is huge for any beauty products.

What's new about this product aside from the packaging is that they have more shades available and they have added products that match with each foundation.
They have different categories from light, medium, and deep. Each one has different products that come with #s so you can match your foundation to your concealer and to your face powder. How cool is that!?

I got my foundation at Rid aid and it was really easy to match my color on top of that Rid aid had a great display where you can test out the foundation, which I really enjoyed.

My First Impressions:

I want to start by saying that when I first used this foundation I was comparing it to the Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation and let me tell you this 'new' foundation is nothing like it.
I did pay attention to the name and it says it's a liquid foundation, which it becomes a liquid foundation once you apply it to your face.
I've worn it for four days now and I'm not loving it.

Coverage:
This is a very light coverage foundation.
I do have to say this foundation doesn't claim to have full coverage or to be long lasting; what it does say is that it will leave you with a flawless face.
From my experience the four days I wore this foundation I don't feel like it lasted more than an hour or even more than it took me to get to my car.
Before I would leave my house I looked like I wasn't wearing make up, throughout the day it just dried up in my dry spots or problem areas and it emphasized them even more. 

In the picture below you can see that both sides look the exact same.
The right side has the foundation on it and you can't even tell the difference. This is the same way it looks on my face as son as I apply it. I thought this was one of those foundations that take a while to set and that wasn't the case.

Formula & Application:

It is a liquid foundation. It does remind me of the L'oreal True Match in the sense that it's liquid and pretty easy to work with.
It leaves your face very soft and blends in nice.
Right after applying it dries very quickly.
When I wore it I felt like is disappeared in to my skin, because you can't tell you have make up on and not in a good way because there is hardly any coverage.

Overall:

I hate to say this but this is another Fail product for me. If you saw my previous post the Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser didn't work well for me, I actually returned it today.
This foundation just doesn't have enough coverage for me and not enough lasting power.
I think this foundation would work great on someone who wants a light foundation and who doesn't have acne prone skin or any problems with the skin. I feel like if you have a clear face it would then leave your skin looking flawless. But for me who I do have scars, discoloration, and occasional acne this foundation didn't do it for me.

I did't want to add any pictures of me wearing the foundation because it really didn't look great at all when you look closely. If you check out my previous review I'm actually wearing this foundation on top of the baby skin pore eraser, if your curious.

Please feel free to ask any questions if I left anything out.
Thank you so much for stopping by and to those who comment it really means a lot.

My First Impressions:

First time trying this product I wasn't too impressed; I think I expected more out of it because of all the hype for this product. When I first applied it to the back of my hand it's a cool gel like formula that blended very easy on my hand. It dries in to a matte finish just like it states. I did fell like it was still wet after applying it to my face after minutes of letting it set to my skin. I was a bit scared to apply foundation to quickly because it felt like my make up would slip and slide all over my face. 

This product states to instantly in 'one second' blur the pores. I didn't see any change after a second, or after a minute or five. My skin was really soft but my pores were still showing and I didn't see it blur at all. 

I have how ever seen other peoples reviews on this product and I saw it change in seconds on them so maybe it's a hit or miss for some people.
Check out Whatwouldlizzydo for her review; this product worked great for her. 
You can also check out NicoleGuerriero for her thoughts; she liked the product but it's not a must. 

Does it blur pores?
No.
I did a quick first impression on my Instagram after I used this product for the first time and I was not impressed from the beginning. I used this for two days and I have no intention on using it a third.
I did keep in mind this product never clammed to fill in pores or make them disappear; it's meant to blur the pores out to make them less noticeable.
For me I think this product made me more aware of my pores, I even joked about my pores being too big and maybe that's why this stuff didn't work for me.
Keep in mind this is on my skin, everyone's skin type is different so it doesn't mean it won't work well for you.

After

I will be trying to return this product I have the receipt, but I ripped up the packaging because I was so excited to get my hands on it. Will they still take it at Walgreen's?
I can live without this product, I'm glad I got a chance to try it out just for curiosity.
But I give it a 2 out of 5.
The texture is nice but I feel like using this product made my make up slide off throughout the day I ended up looking more tiered than I really was. I felt like 3 hours in to wearing my make up I wasn't wearing anything at all. When I wiped my make up off at the end of the day I hardly had anything to wash off. 

If your curious to try this out I say go for it it's very inexpensive and I mean the packaging is just so cute, you just want it to be in your make up section (lol).
If you have any questions about this product please feel free to ask.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Everyone!!

I have been waiting for this new year to come so I could haul some new beauty items!
I have seen so many videos and blog posts of whats new at the drug store and I wanted to get out there and see for myself.
Sometimes things on camera look so much cooler than in person which is what I found out (lol).
So I picked up some new items and some not so new that I just really wanted to try out.
I hope you enjoy my first Haul of 2014!

I have been wanting a new curling wand for awhile now; I debated on getting a new curling iron or a straightener but lately I've been doing my hair more curly than straight so I knew getting an updated curling wand would be a lot more useful and fun.
 The one I have now works great but it's only a 1 inch and I have been wanting bigger hair.
I passed by the hot tools section at ULTA and noticed they were On Sale for $39.99/originally $53.99.

On top of getting a great deal, well I think so, I was able to pick up the rainbow one which I think is so pretty!

John Frieda Radiant Red 
Shampoo & Conditioner $5.99 each at ULTA.

Covergirl Clump Crusher & Revlon 3D Mascara 
I decided to pick up a Covergirl mascara because they always work great and they always have fun new ones to try out.
Now the Revlon mascara I haven't haerd to much about from the reviews I looked up a lot of people didn't like it to much but I'd rather try it out myself. Have you tried it? Let me know.

Covergirl Clump Crusher
at ULTA for $8.99

Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara in Blackest Black
at ULTA for $8.99

Covergirl true Blend liquid make up in m2

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

This product is getting a lot of attention in the beauty community; I wanted to pick it up to see if it's worth the hype.
It's sold out everywhere including Ulta, who will not be having any new ones till Friday.
I finally got my hands on it at Walgreens for $6.99.
I looked online and it seems to be the cheapest at Target for $5.99.
I can't wait to try it, if you've had a chance to try it please share your thoughts!

Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream

Hello Everyone & Happy New Year!!

Today I came across some inspiring quotes on Instagram and considering we just entered a new year I wanted to share them with you all.

I hope they inspire you even if it's to make you smile or get you out of bed and do something productive and make today count ;)

I know these types of quotes get me out of bed I tell myself 'stop being lazy and get up'!

For me it's very hard to inspire my self so, I really appreciate quotes like this that make me realize 'Okay, I can do this'.
