My Favorite Brow Products.

My favorite brow products.

This product is my life saver. The little end is great for the bottom of my eyebrows. My arch isn't very prominent so I like to trim a little under my brow to make it stand out more.

 I have two brow pencils that I love. The first one is the NYC liner in Taupe. It is a great color for dark blonde people. It has a hint of a red tint which is great for me! The next pencil that I love is the Anastasia Brow Wiz in soft brown. It is great because it is really thin and you can build it up.

There are some other products like ELF brow stencils, ELF brow gel and the ELF brow kit in light, that I use less often but still like. These products are affordable and work well.

As for a highlight under my arch I use one of two products. I either use Almay Creme Brulee, which is very glittery! Or I will use MAC lightscapade. Which I also use as a cheek bone highlight. This by far is my favorite MAC product, crazy right?

Braun No Touch + Thermometer

Braun No Touch + Thermometer

I received this Braun No Touch + Thermometer from Influenster and may I say it is great! My daughter, being 3 years old, is a very light sleeper. Once this girl wakes up, she does NOT go back to sleep. If she is sick it is even worse. So thank goodness this thermometer came into my life. I can take her temperature without waking her and without even turning on the light! 

First I make sure to switch it onto the "silent mode". Which is super easy just flip the switch on the side of the device.

See? Super easy. Next I make sure not to trip over anything toys in her room as I go to check her temp. You hit the power button and then the temperature button and it will turn green and a light will come on so you can get an accurate reading, they suggest between the eyebrows. If you are not close enough to the child it will say "forward" and have three lines "moving" up. As soon as it reads the temp of the child it will beep once (not loud enough to wake the child) and it will read the temp. 

It has three light coloring's after the temp is taken. Green for good temp. Yellow for slightly high and red if it is really bad. I like this feature the best because if I need to B-Line out of my child's room I can remember the color and know the steps I need to take from there. 

The only problem I could see is if your child has Rosacea or any other condition that would make their face warm. It might not read as correctly. Not many kids do though thank goodness! I also believe that is why they tell you to take the temp between the brows, even with my Rosacea that area doesn't get as "hot" when it flares up.

All that being said I would definitely recommend this thermometer! It works well and it lets my child sleep! Which I love.

Influenster Vow Vox Box!

Influenster Vow Vox Box

I was super excited to receive my Influenster Vow Vox Box in the mail! I knew it was going to be a good one!

The Olay tone correcting cream is by far my favorite product in the box! I LOVE the smell and it makes my skin so smooth and soft all day! I use it right after I wash my face and my face doesn't get oily throughout the day!

Retail: $30.99 (Walmart has it for $23.97)

The EcoTools complexion sponge is great too! It leaves your skin exfoliated and soft but not red!

Retail: $5.99

The Sally Hansen polish in Barracuda is so pretty!

I used it on my daughters nails (Seen Below) and she loved it!

Retail: $7.99

I never thought I would actually try the Tide to go pen. I was VERY skeptical about it working. Boy am I lucky that I got one in my VoxBox. It works wonders! I will be buying this again!

Retail: 3 pack for $7.99

 This is a product I have tried before. It smells great and leaves your skin feeling soft after shaving!

Retail: $2.19 (8 oz.)

The last thing in the box was a 50% off code to Riley and Grey custom wedding website services. This isn't really my thing but I checked them out and they do amazing work!

I was very impressed by this voxbox. I usually am impressed by a couple products but I was happy with EVERYTHING in this box. Thank you Influenster!

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

First off let me say Thank You to Influenster for sending me this product before it hits stores! I was super excited to find out I would be receiving it! I have been looking for a new foundation!

It is a thick consistency but it is light on the skin. I have rosacea and it really covers my redness. It also keeps you looking matte all day.

Now with all that being said I think if you have dry skin it will not work as well. It can be a little drying, being matte and all. If you use a good moisturizer before I think it will be fine! 

I would definitely buy this product when it becomes available in store. I may have found my new favorite foundation!

Mary Kay

Mary Kay Review

   I got some new Mary Kay products in an Influenster Vox Box and I have had some time to try them out! Here is my honest opinion of the products I received.

  This is the Mary Kay eyelash primer. I have never used an eyelash primer before. My lashes looked a little thicker after applying this and the mascara but not to much. 

  This is the Mary Kay Lash Love lengthening mascara. I used it with the lash primer and without. It did make my lashes appear a little longer but I think that is just because my lashes are blonde so I can't normally see them very well. I do like this mascara though, no clumping like some other brands!

  This is the cream eyeshadow brush. I like this brush, it is a little soft for applying cream shadow but it does the job! :)

  This is the Mary Kay High Dimensions lipstick in Pink Cherie. I love the color first off, but I am partial to pink lipsticks. It is shiny but not overbearing. I LOVE how creamy it is and it lasts for a while without having to reapply. 

  Last but not least we have the Mary Kay cream eye color in Violet Storm. I used this as a "darker" base under my light purple MAC pigment and It looked beautiful! I wish I would have taken a picture! Also it lasted longer than I thought it would being a cream eye shadow. I never had good luck with cream shadows before but this one was a breeze to work with. :)

  I really love these products! I had tried Mary Kay before, a long time ago when I first started with makeup and it made me break out pretty bad. I am glad to say that this time I had no breakouts! Maybe they changed the formula or maybe I grew out of that stage. Either way I am happy that I can use it now.

  Thanks for taking the time to read my blog don't forget to follow. I will be posting more often! Also sometime next year I plan on making a YouTube channel so be on the lookout for that! I will be sure to keep you posted!

HUGS! 

Ulta Carnivale Collection

 

I know I'm late reviewing this palette! I got it on sale at Ulta before Thanksgiving, I believe I paid about $6 for it. I had been thinking about getting it for a while but never did. Finally I saw it in the sale section and thought it must be fate!

For the most part I really like this palette. I love the packaging, and the color payoff. With exception of Majesty which even with a primer is not as bold as I would have liked.

 

The set contains 9 shadows, 1 bronzer, 1 lip color, 1 mini brown eyeliner, 1 double-sided sponge tip/lip brush, and 1 mini blush brush. The set also comes with 2 designer looks! (Pictured above)

Unfortunately they are all shimmer/glitter shades, so if you like matte... this palette is not for you!

 

The names of the shadows are as followed as well as a description.

Sun-kissed- Burnt Orange

Green Machine- Bold Emerald Green (Pictured)

Silk- Off White-Cream (Good highlight)

Molten- Dark Chocolate Brown

Majesty- Bold Purple, not pigmented (Pictured)

Honey Bee- Bright Yellow (Pictured)

Cherry Bomb- Bright Bold Red (The Reason I Got the Set)

Sapphire- Deep Navy Blue

Trendsetter- Bronze/Milk Chocolate

 

Lip Color: Flirtini- Light Coral Pink

 

Bronzer: Sunkissed
