I MET PEARL !!! "GIRL MEETS PEARL" BY BENEFIT

I was terrified of wearing any highlight or anything that give shininess to my face, but I hadnt realize that theres an  ocean of difference between "glow" and "grease" , this product is as well from my "vacay" series. The benefit sales gal , was amazing and so helpfull, so she asked me if I was using a highlight and my face was like -.- no ma'm I dont because I would look like a glowstick lol ! she laugh so hard and was no you wont let me show you. I was like "ok" but still thinking in my head " omg I know my skin its not going to look rite". She asked if I had seen or used or tested " Girl Meets Pear " I told I had seen it but never actually put it in my face. 
 So she kept going and on with her demo, using a foundation brush ( the flat one )
she applied some on my temples and on the top portion of my cheek bone on the bridge of my nose etc. she even went a little crazy and I think she put some all over lol ! 
She showed the finished result and voila !!! I looked amazing and literally said WHOA ! lol ! 
I did not look shiny, neither dewy or however you spell it , I just had a glow that looked so natural an amazing !! so I got it.
 Packaging amazing so BENEFIT style !!
This is the product , glue stick kinda container , you twist and product comes out, CAREFUL a bit goes a long way, so dont get excited twisting :p

This product get an A+ totally for oily skin, eventhou its not specifically made for it, it works just fine, it does not make you like like a glowing stick , litebulb or else ! you look amazing with a healthy look, super natural ahhghgh jaw droppin, mouth drowling ! lol !

  • SENSITIVE SKIN- CHECK 
  • HATES TO LOOK LIKE A LIGHTBULB- CHECK
OK girls since pretty much I land on the I HATE A SHINNY face pattern
and I fit pretty well , Im always on the lookout for new mattifying products, 
I found my DREAM COME TRUE setting powder which is Laura Mercier 
shine control pressed powder. Ok BUT  now how would I retouch with out packing my face with 20 pounds of powder a day I mean I could because afterall the Laura Mercier powder performs that job to the max, but I dont like to be caking powder over over over IDK I feel its not sanitary, I always carry around the Clean and Clear blotting sheets which work perfect but theyre not quite there, I heard about the MALLY face defender buuuuuuuut I honestly IDK theres was just something that did not attract me to the brand and there were very very few reviews on it. 

I love BENEFIT COSMETICS ! I adore from the cute suuper original packaging to the products itself, yes it is expensive BUT then again you need to look at the overall purchase from the Benefit Boutiques to the boxes and the website everything overall has a lot of <3 and passion put into it. 
So yesterday on my trip I decided to get my eyebrows done at the Benefit Brow Bar and OMG let me tell you ! I LOVED IT !! you so so so gotta go if you have one near you its so so so different from regular salons really !! 

Ok off the rammble back to the review, lol ! I was playing around with the products and I had seen the DR. FEEL GOOD a mattiying balm in a solid form, not ur typical powder ,but I was honestly scared that I was going to look shinny and blah blah blah ! so I tried on my face and got my brows done and walked around and went to the other mall , usually my skin reacts to a product within 2-3 hrs I honestly dont have to wait to see if  product works or not , I usually break out in a snap ! 


As you can see its not blue,minty over all a TRUE translucent mattifying product, so it suits perfectly to a 100%any skin color and type.  Packaging its amazing and super high-quality and fun, its a metal tin with the old school print to it, super fun and girly.
I would use it to set my foundation but I will never ever use any other retouching , mattifyng product for a while !!! I give it a 4 thumbs up lol !! feet count as well

HAUL: SEPHORA&CHARMING CHARLIE

HAAAAAUL timee baby yeah !! lol ( silly me )



Ok well I bet we are all used to a "VIDEO HAUL" from Youtube BUT lets bring the groove on to the blog. Dont get me wrong Im not hating on Youtubers' I LOVE YOUTUBE as a matter of fact Im wired to the computer watching all types of videos. It takes some guts to sit in front of a camera and pretend your talking to someone well at least thats my point of view, I tried it and nah not for me I feel I express myself waaay better writting than talking. So I tag you to do a Haul video next time you go shopping lets do it just for fun.






Well since I was like 20 points away from the 500 pointperk I was mmhhm Im gonna go and buy some thank you gooddies for my followers and grab some body butter and I needed some hair ties.
I went straight to the nail polish section and got the cutest 3 different shades I saw :D , some ribbon hair ties and I found those adorable ribbon ties I got onw in my July Birchbox and Ive been wearing that one for 1 month so by now I needed a break hahah I got the neutral colors they look adorable on your wrist and I found that they did not make my head hurt as with some other ones so I really love them.

I was walking around the store for a GR8 smelling bodybutter. I had never tried any products from the PACIFICA brand so I was in that section a good amount of time sniffing everything and I trully like the scents , they were natural and really nice combinations.

I decided to go with PACIFICA COCONUT CRUSHED PEARL LUMINIZING BODY BUTTER , its a amazing coconut scent ( not a headache one ) and it does look like it has some pearl dust , because the glow its amazing it kinda look like High Beam from Benefit but in a cream. I will do swatches and a full review once I try it for a couple of days.

For my 500 point perk they had a cute Benefit one with a full size blush in Dandelion, a BADGal mascara ( travel size and a that Gal sample ) I have a few Benefit cosmetics I thing their packaging is adorable and I use my high beam everyday :D

Ive ben trying to buy a blush but theres so many that I couldnt make up my mind so its GR8 that sephora had one as a freebie.

Picture from sephora website.
Moving on to Charming Charlie :D I love that store but sometimes is overwhelming the amount of color lol I just don know what to get so I went and was bargain shopping hahaaha, and I found some prety good stuff. I got a pair of earrings for $1 , a adorable bracelet from $12 reduced to $5 and a cute cream bracelet that I bought to add some stuff ( I buy simple stuff and add things to it to make it look cool lol hahah or so I think ) 


Well that was my haulll :D now I tag  YOU, yes you if you just came back from Walmart, Target, CVS or so, Show us what you got :D
