L'oreal Colour Riche Caresse

These are amazing and they are not like Revlon Lip Butters. L'oreal Colour Riche Caresse are thin in texture and have a lot of slip to them but have and amazing amount of pigment and are very easy to wear.


Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

I love these. I need more colors they are so amazing and are DUPEs for Clinique Chubby Stick and Tarte LipSurgence. I highly suggest you look for the display in your local drugstore they are an amazing value and come in a variety of colors.



Allure Sample Society Box June 2012

I am happy to say this box is a drastic improvement on last month's. I am so glad but I still need some more brand variety. But at least the money value is there and I can live with that for now!


First USA Glossybox

I have been so excited to get this box. I love watching the videos of others on youtube and they just launched in the US. They are expensive at $21/month but so far I am not dissppointed.


LaFemme Blush

I love and adore these. At less than $3 a pan you cannot beat the price, value, or customer serivce. I oreder mine from makeupmania. They do not have the best swatches so I suggest doing research by looking at blog post and youtube videos to help with color selection. These are comprable to NARS blushes at a fraction of the price so checl them out!


Milani Shadow Eyez

I have been trying to get my hands on these for a while. I heard they were very similar to the Urban Decay Shadow Sticks and I have to say I see some product Dupes. These are a very afforadble alternative and are easy to find at places like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and CVS.


L'oreal Infallible 8hr Swatches & Review

I love these lipglosses they really do last on your lips without feeling like you re wearing product. They are great for the work day and come in a variety of colors. I highly recommend them. This video includes swatches on my lips so women of color will have an idea about how they wear on pigmented lips. Hope this is helpful!




Revlon Lip Butters

My video on this is so late but I wanted to put one out their for women of color who want to know how these products migh look on thier lips. Because there is a difference in pigmentation so I hope this is helpful in your serach for the perfect color!

This is my first giveaway watch my video to find out what you must do! I just wan to thank all of my subbies for wataching and subscribing!




Gossip GIrl Birchbox, Can u say Canceled?

This box was a hot mess. I will say the value was there for me this time, which it often is not but it was advertised as the Gossip Girl box and I do not get the connection whatsoever? I am just over Birchbox. There is some real inequality between their boxes and it just is not fair. I understand if everyone does not get the same colors but everyone should get the same value.

Bobbi Brown Haul

After recieving this purchase Bobbi Brown is a new obession of mine. I absolutly love the gel eyeliners, liner brush, and the makeup remover. I will repurchase all of them. They the gel eyelines glide on so smoothly, even more so than my MAC fluide line. That I did not think was possible. And it lasts all day without moving all over my eyelids and face!




YSL

I am so obessed with thieir packaging. What is not to love about YSL RougeVolupte? Aboslutly nothing, wait the price. These are very expensive but check out my video and find out how to get full sized YSL products free.


Lipbalm Comparison Review

 I am a  lipbalm junkie. I just can't help myself. I wanted to do a comparison review of some of the most talked about brands for those who are trying to make up their minds about spending extra money on some of these hyped up brands. Hope it is Helpful!


Blistex

Softlips
Jack Black
Dermstore
Fresh
Victoria Secret


Maybelline Illegal Lengths Fiber Mascara Demo

This stuff is amazing. I only wish it was a true black. Feel free to fast forward to the end to see the before and after photo. I highly suggest you give this a try if you need length and don't like false lashes. This is very affordable and eassy to get your hands on.


Julpe Maven May 2012 1 Penny

I love this box. I did not know what to think of their pedicure treatment but I was willing to give it a try. It is amazing I am tempted to reorder at their regular prices when I run out which I am not excited about because they are so expensive but it is well worth it. I like using the treatment and then exfoliating with my body gloves. My feet are butter soft for days. Now I keep my feet in very good condition to begin with and even saying that the results were dramatic. This is a staple pedicure product and less expensive than getting them done!



Spring Nail Polish & DIY Caviar

I love painting my own nails I cannot stand to get them done. They never look as good as when I do them myself and I feel like it is such a waste of money so I have to share some of my favorite colors for the spring season. Plus how I will do my own Caviar Nails. There is no reason to buy the kit from Sephora especially since it will only last about 48hrs. I will say this for the look it is so cute and trendy but a pain when you wash your hair. My hair kept snagging on the beads.


BirchBox Epic Fail

"Oh Hellz Naw" Yes, that is what I was thinking when my box arrived and I opened it up and saw laundry detergent samples in my monthly beauty box. That is not lipstick, mascara, foundation, concealer, or blush. I could not believe it. Now they did send me a vegetable bar once and I canceled ASAP and they are testing me again. Click the video to see the other "Gems" they sent this month!

Allure Sample Society Box May Edition

I am so disappointing with this month's box...I cannot believe the absolute crap they sent out. I am so very annoyed and was about 2 seconds away from canceling but I decided to hold on for another month because they have excellent customer service and seemed to really care about my feedback. So we shall see how it goes from here FYI you might want to wait a while before you subscribe.




NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

Ok, I have been dying to give the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer a try. I must say I did love it but it was not perfect and can't be the staple product I was hoping it could become. I think maybe I should just use a moisturizer or primer with SPF in it and add foundation to that to avoid that weird cast higher SPFs can give the skin. Any suggestions? I know I should keep it below 20 when taking photos.


Beware of Biotin

SO these pills worked for me for a few months and then all hell broke loose on my face and I can't have that. I had all kinds of zits the slow growing painful deep zits and these rash like red zits. It was horrible I have included 1 or 2 pictures but I could not post the rest they were too upsetting. I hope this is helpful because all people will not have the same results. These are mine results, my story, and my opinions. Enjoy the video!
