TARTE AMAZONIAN CLAY (( foundations Im loving )) part 1


I have combination skin this meaning I have an Oily Tzone and dryness in certain parts of my face, plus my skin is very sensitive and acne prone so YEAH ! I got the whole package lol.
I roll around foundations a lot , because either they are too oily or too dry or just BLAH I just stormed my way AWAY from the MAC Matchmaster since it started to brake me out , thank God is was just when I had 1 or 2 applications. 
I had my eye on 2 foundations the Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation and Tarte Amazonian Clay. I walked around them for quite some time and I decided to get my Amazonian Clay from QVC since they had a gr8 deal 2 bottles plus the application brush for $48 when each foundation is $38.00 and the brush is around the $30's as well so yeah is like I got 1 1/2 for free lol ! like if you could part the brush in half lol ! oh well for me it was a nice steal.
I got the Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation from the Laura Mercier counter inside Macys and nah I couldnt score any deal on that just the free gift with purchase but thats about it still payed $40 for it. YEAH they both are very pricey or at least for me but foundation is one thing I splurge on because is like the base for a beautiful canvas. 

Ok lets start with Tarte Amazonian Clay will balance your skin due to the fact that it contains Clay and Clay has been around for many many years and been proven to help with skin conditions such as reducing the appearance of pores , minimizing discoloration and helps heal acne , of course this foundation is not targeted to heal acne yet it doesnt brake me out.
This foundation is super blendable and buildable so you can achieve any look you desire and yet it doesnt look cake'e.


The best part of this foundation regardless of the product itself is that it is CRUELTY FREE.
I love the wooden cap and the clean earthy look to the packaging and the actual product.
This is the application brush it came with very very nice , sturdy and gr8 for applying this foundation theyre the perfect match lol  ! and I got it for free 

This is the entire bundle and my shade is medium , usually Im light-medium BUT spring and summer are the upcoming seasons so yeah I have no idea how tan Ill be so I just played it safe , if I need a lighter color I can use my Laura Mercier of just add a tad bit of moisturizer.
This is how it came packaged from QVC very usual , just a bubble mailer

Creme de Pistache by Laura Mercier


Laura Mercier is an amazing brand that cover makeup , skincare , bath and body , everything with a twist of elegance yet simple and chic. Recently I decided I wanted to give my hands a little treat so I reached for Laura Mercier Creme de Pistache Hand Creme which is a deep penetrating cream that makes your hands feel super velvety ( not greasy ) soft and smooth as well a very very subtle yet well concentrated scent of pistachio made out of pistachio nuts , almods , praline and hazelnut with freshly whipped cream , overall a dessert for your hands. Creme de Pistache contains grape and olive oil to ensure moisture as well as soy proteins which are rich in amino acids to help repair hands hammered by the sun , cold or just a nice treat. 
This hand creme is formulated for all skin types and runs on the high price point as its a "high'end" brand , running at 2oz. for $15.00 YEAH very pricey but well worth it , its not a MUST HAVE just a treat.

You can find Creme de Pistache HERE or at any Macys that carries Laura Mercier cosmetics.
The packaging is very very nice and shiny , kinda that metallic'e finish 
very nice and sturdy
is actually the 1st time I ever see the "pumping" or "pouring" like this , instead of opening and squeezing out .....
you twist open and squeeze out
very nice concept nice and chic just like the rest of the brand

Burts Bees CITRUS facial scrub

Well let me begin with I LOVE scrubbin' omg ! Its just so nice and smooth wherever you try it .. Lega , face , arms soo on ... Ive been seeing this product ( Burts Bees Cirtrus face scrub ) being repeatedly raved about so I wanted to see what the hype was all about so I went and got me some Citrus Facial Scrub.
Lest go more into details , the Citrus Facial Scrub gets its name from the 2 main ingredients in its formulations which are Sweet Orange and Grapefruit oils , this facial scrub removes dirt with the help of Ground Almonds , Oats and Pecans while moisturizing the skin with a touch of Glycerin.
Its packaging follows the whole "natural" vibe that the brand represents and the actual container where the product is held is very durable and thick glass with a screw'on 'off cap.
The consistency is kinda sorta "rigid" or very well compressed into the bottle so you kinda need to scrape it off with your finger ( dont over do it )
SCENT: As far as scent it doesnt smell like citrus AT ALL , it smells like a mixture of nuts very very pleasant earthy scent.

DIRECTIONS:
Use an M&M's size ( pea is to small and conventional lol )
Let a burst of warm water hit it ( dont let is dissolve or fall off the pal of your hand )
SMOOCH it with your finger 
Onto the face and scrub scrub scrub !

FRANKEN Friday !! Dollish Polish ( FAT GUY IN A LITTLE COAT )

Today Im ft. Dollish Polish which has amazing frankens <3 and I have my eye on a few, yet I had to have this bad boy just for its name I LOL'ed so much once I saw the name and I was totally drawn to it, it looked so pretty on the screen YET I blew my mind in person.

Well the name of this polish explains it all , but in case this quote didnt ring anything on your head here it goes. This quote is form the movie " Tommy Boy form 1995 ft. Chris Farley here is a quick description from Wikipedia "Tommy Boy is a 1995 road comedy film directed by Peter Segal, written by Bonnie and Terry Turner, and starring former Saturday Night Live colleaguesChris Farley and David Spade. The film tells the story of a socially and emotionally immature man (portrayed by Farley) who learns lessons about friendship and self-worth following the sudden death of his industrialist father. The film did well commercially, but received mixed reviews from critics"


This franken was inspired by the attire Tommy Boy wears and he acts the quote " FAT GUY IN A LITTLE COAT" and I think that Dollish Polish scored GR8 and the result was amazing.
