Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil





Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil (Price $14.00 0.5 oz) 

I picked this up while i was waiting on the line to pay, sephora always have those mini size items stacked there and I always fall for it but I'm glad I purchased this. At first I was hesitant to use this on my face cause I have oily to combination skin but I just took the risk and did it anyways. The next morning I woke up with super soft smooth amazing skin. I was really surprised how fast it worked and I actually got to see the result the next day. I'm not a big fan of oil i just hate the greasy sticky feeling so i was hoping this was not one of those oils and its really not this absorbs really fast. You really don't need a lot i just take one drop and pat it all over my face. I use this only night time i have been using this for a month now every night on top of my night cream.this did not break me out if anything this actually prevented any breakouts. I also tried this on my hair and i loved it made my hair really soft and shiny i mixed it with my trusty almond oil and loved the result.this is also good for dry patches on your skin, i'm totally getting a full size of this once i'm done with this. I truly recommend this to everyone
 whether you have dry or oily skin this will help you for sure.

Day Time Skin Care Routine


Philosophy Purity Made Simple Facial Cleanser
Clinique Moisturizing Gel
Clarins Sunscreen SPF 40

I always try to keep my skin care simple and clean i don't like changing my skin care products too much.if its working then why change a good thing? that's how i feel when it comes to skin care don't get me wrong i love trying out new things.but I'm very very picky when comes to products for my skin with that being said this is my morning ritual.

Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser

If you don't know by now i love this cleanser its very gentle. It really makes my skin feel fresh just what I need when i wake up. This cleanser is perfect for my sensitive skin. This is seriously one of my can't live with out product not to mention this lasts me forever a little goes a long way a pea size is all you need.



Clinique Moisturizing Gel

I think i can't rave enough about this moisturizer i have been using this for a very long time. since i was a teen thanks to my mom for introducing this to me.this didn't break me out kept my skin hydrated really got the job done without making me look like a grease ball. I do switch to the moisturizing lotion during winter cause I get some dry patch around my cheeks and the lotion really helps. I totally recommend this product to everyone you simply cant go wrong with this moisturizer.


Clarins Sunscreen SPF 40

I used to use aveeno sunscreen and loved it but I don't know what happened i cant find the one I used to use. I came across this one I actually like this one a lot I did a review on this you can check out here.

Skindinavia No More Shine

 

Skindinavia No More Shine Makeup Finish Spray ( 4fl oz)

Instruction
-Shake well
-For best result apply both before and after makeup.
-Spray 2-4 times in an X and T formation.


I purchased this setting spray last year from imats i forgot how much i paid for it but this retails from $20.00 to $39.00. this gives you a flawless oil free finish,i have oily to combination skin and this kept my makeup oil free for about 8 hours after that i did notice a little shine on my forehead and nose so i do need to blot but it's very minimal.i love this setting spray even though it doesn't do what it promised but 8 hour is good enough for me.if you look at urban decay's oil control makeup setting spray its made by skindinavia as well.this also works great during summer time,this is a very light weight spray nothing like mac's fix plus which i love during winter time but makes me look really greasy during summer time. i will definitely repurchased this and hope you try this out if you have oily skin like me I'm sure you will love this.

Clarins UV Plus SPF 40

 

Clarins UV Plus SPF 40 (Price $40.00 )

It's that time of the year where its going to be hot and humid, sun is going to beam right at you specially when you are out on the beach pool or just being out every day.sunscreen for me is a must have all around the year even during winter time,lot of us don't really worry much about wearing sunscreen during winter which is a bad thing protect your skin cause we don't want any wrinkle do we?...i used to use aveeno sunscreen but for some reason i can't find it anywhere.my old one expired so i had to go on the hunt for a good sunscreen and came across this one.i love this sunscreen cause this does not make me oily whats so ever I've had that problem with some sunscreen in the past one of them was clinique.i hate cliniques sunscreen,it was so heavy broke me out it just didn't work for me.i have oily to combination skin my t zone is oily and around my cheeks it gets dry sometimes so i had to find something that works for my skin.

 

The consistency of this sunscreen is very runny and lightweight (kind of similar to shiseido sunscreen SPF 50 which i love as well )you have to shake it well before applying it. a little goes a long way this sinks right in,doesn't feel sticky or greasy looks completely matte so this can be worn under your foundation.some sunscreen can give you that chalky look but i haven't experienced anything like that with this one.i have very sensitive skin i break out easily and this didn't break me out. i also use this on my daughter cause her sunscreen bothers her eyes and she gets all teary its just a mess thanks to clarins no more tears =D this is kind of pricey but its totally worth it and i will definitely repurchase this.

Shiseido Eyelash Curler

 

   



Shiseido Eye Lash Curler (Price $19.00)

I needed a eyelash curler after i had lost my old one i don't know why i waited this long to pick one up i clearly needed one badly you will see why 


I have no makeup on this is how my eye lashes look just lays straight flat. i don't have thick lashes but my lashes are long enough oh how i wish i had full on thick lashes =( 

 

And as you can tell this curler gave my lashes a instant lift,i like this curler cause of the wide round shape it fits all my eye lashes perfectly into the curler.i was surprised at how long the curl lasted without any mascara it last about four hours. another thing i love about this curler is, it didn't pinch my lids which i had experienced with some drugstore lash curlers in the past. this also comes with a extra pad,
i love the fact that i can change the pads
 over all I'm happy with this purchase.

Mac Riri Woo Lipstick


Mac Riri Woo Lipstick Retro Matte (Price $15.00 3g)

I was kind of procrastinating on doing this review/swatch of this lipstick, its been raved about and talked down upon ever since it launched. I'm going to try and keep this short and simple, as we all know by now Rihanna loves ruby woo lipstick which she got inspired by and created something very similar to ruby woo but just a tad bit darker and strong blue undertone than ruby woo so there's just a slight difference. i also love the embossing on riri woo it's really pretty,why i fell in love with this lipstick? cause of the retro matte finish it goes on so much better than ruby woo i mean don't get me wrong i love ruby woo but it makes my lip so dry and chapped that's the only
complain i have about ruby woo...



Top Row without flash
Bottom Row with flash


 They are both classic red matte lipsticks with blue undertone which makes your teeth appear whiter.if you are a fan of Rihanna or if you just want to try this out i say go for it and make sure you do it fast cause it was sold out pretty quick last time.

Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner

Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner (Original Price $35.00 to $41.00 32 fl.oz.)

Instructions
-Pour some on a tin which i don't have so i just used a tiny bowl
-Dip your brushes in the brush cleaner,they suggested to dip only the tip of the large brushes
-Remove the brushes and wipe it on a paper towel or clean cloth and repeat the process if the brush is still dirty
-Allow up to 15 min to dry the small brushes and 30 min for the large brushes but it was dried within 15 to 20 min


As some of you might have seen my Imats Haul i purchased this brush cleaner couple of months ago from imats. today i decided to use this since I'm running low on my other brush cleaner


 
I poured some onto this cute little bowl and my daughter decided to help me =) 


as soon as i dipped the brush i started to notice how the eyeshadow started to come out and separate from the brush cleaner 


and then i was trying to clean my elf brush and this happened i was like HUH!!=\  i guess the glue came off maybe the chemical was too strong i don't know what happened but thank god this didn't happen with my other brushes cause i took the risk and went on about cleaning the rest of them and it was fine no scary incident =D i like this brush cleaner because i don't have to touch the water for a long period of time we all know how annoying that is specially if you have to wash a whole lotta brushes.  however i didn't like what happened to my elf brush but then again that brush was old i had it for like 5 years or so.one of my mac brush was kind of stained after i used it to apply a hot pink eyeshadow and this brush cleaner really got the stain out.you can check out the pictures below how squeaky clean and shiny my brush looks,i was impressed how fast my brushes dried even the big ones.there is a strong  smell to this brush cleaner almost like rubbing alcohol if fragrance doesn't bother you then you are good to go,cause this is a good brush cleaner it really makes your brushes super clean and shiny.


Squeaky Clean ^.^



Hope You Enjoyed

Mac Magenta Lip Pencil

Mac Magenta Lip Pencil is described as a vivid pinkish purple 
Mac Magenta Lip Pencil (Price $15.00 1.45 g)

 

 I really like mac's lip pencils they go on very smooth and last long,sometimes i apply the lip pencils alone or layer it with a lipstick on top.i bought this lip pencil before and returned it i thought it was just too bright for me but that was then now i've stepped out of my comfort zone and i wear bright & bold lip colors with confidence =) this is a perfect berryish fuchsia matte color this lip pencil didn't dry or chapped my lips however it did stain a bit.if you're not a fan of matte finish lip product then you can add some clear gloss over it.


Used my sister as a lip model =D 

This is how it looks on pretty right??kinda reminds me of heroine lipstick which is a violet purpleish color but magenta have more of a pinkish undertone than heroine...this lip pencil looks gorgeous with a red lipstick as well.its a wooden pencil so i have to sharpen which i hate,but other than that i love this color. i think this will look good on any skin tone and i absolutely recommend it.
