Laura Mercier

The 1st time ever to shop Laura Mercier an what attracted me to this lady ?? YES youre rite NAIL POLISH ! I saw the review of Laura Mercier new collection from Youtuber ( Raeviewer ) and OmG I just had to have the nail polishes and a lip-pot-stain lol !!! Weeeel here are myyyy goodies

Luscious is a super cute jelly , that reaches full opacity with 3 coats ( for me ) but most of you guys can pull it off with maybe 2. Its a raspberry color with no glitter or shine to it :) very very flattering on any skin tone.

Cabana is the perfect coral not to orange not to red or falling into a pink , very very nice and brightening 

soft and delicate color always makes the hands look more femenine and the fingers appear to be longer :) 

This the lip-pot-stain lol ! is a lip stain in a potted lipgloss form and it does lasts a while on the lip and it doesnt have that sticky feeling. As far as the color , I dont consider it being a "coral" yet a very subtle red with hint of gold sparkle in it.

The Laura Mercier's girl was super nice to me and gave me some samples that so far so gooood I love them !! 

The clenser/exfoliator and the repair serum are the BOMB ! I havent yet tried the tinted moisturizer but as soon as I do Ill post my opinion on it :) 

Talking about packaging well is very clean and sleek nothing over the top , yet not being cheap.

Have a GR8 Wednesday !! week's almost over hang in there ! 

FRAGRANCE FRIDAY : LOLITA LEMPICKA

This gal is by far my signature scent for about 8 years <3 Lolita Lempicka is always part of my fragrance collection :) and its always in front row in my closet and my heart. I describe this scent as being very woody and sensual "lol" its quite interesting and its DEFF. one of those scents that you either love or hate theres no middle thoughts for this gal.

The notes for this baby are: Ivy Leaves , Aniseed, Amarena Heart, violets, Iris Roots, Velvetier, Tonka Bean, Vanilla Musk.

FairyDrops

Im a mascara freak lol , this meaning Im always on the lookout for " thee perfect mascara " Well I had been tempted to try this mascara calles Fairy Drops which is a Japanese mascara created by a Japanese TV personality , lately Japan is getting a lot of demand on beauty products. Well the mascara is a really thick mascara , with some like micro fibers that stick to your eye lash and you build upon it to create lenght. I feel it does make lashes longer and thicker but I dont thick it gives the effect of "lots of lashes" I honestly rather have l long and defined lashes than lots because at times it might look "crowded and not defined" I feel this mascara suit my style as far as lenght , BUT if you are seeking for a mascara that gives the appearance of multiple lashes , this one may not be what you need ;). Pricing is $24 at sephora so it is on the "pricy""high-end" side but ai will repurchase.

On the pictures you can see the generl packging and the brush which is pretty nice and unique, and you can kinda get an idea of themicro fibers I mentined above. The lash that looks long and defined has only 1 coat of fairy drops and the other one is "naked" no product on the lash at all.

ESSIE LADY LIKE

I got my hands on this LADY because I was seeing everywhere in blogs, youtube etc..

and I honestly didnt think I was gonna love it .. but OMG I was soo soo mistaken, I ADORED it, I've been wearing it on mu nails for 3 days :D so yeah I really like it lol !! .. The product speaks for itself so let your eyes be the judge but not the final decision :D

MY FIRST ZOYA (( MARINA ))

I had never tried ZOYA before, but I've being reading a lot of reviews on ZOYA polishes and I stumbled across some really nice colors, so I went ZOYA shopping.. lol :D

This baby is called MARINA by ZOYA

( note the sky reflected on the bottle :D perfect touch to the beautiful color )

MARINA is a amazing blue-greyish tone, with tiny purple,silver and gold sparkles, this color is amazing for fall time, and I believe it suits any skin tone. Like I mentioned above I had never had the chance to try a ZOYA nail polish IDK why lol. The formulation and consistency of the product is ccreamy BUT not as creamy as Julep. It still glides on nicely. The brush is alright , the level of pigmentation on the product is good but not as pigmented as Julep, you need at least 3 coats ( maybe it varies from color to color ). I will deff. re-purchase a ZOYA nail polish I believe they are worth it but if you make me pick Ill pick Julep over any :D sorry its just the best polish for me , or the one that works for me the best Im not saying other brands are bad or maybe Ill get a Julep color that will make me change my mind. This is my honest opinion at the moment. 

Overall ZOYA is a good product worth the $, GR8 color I LOVE MARINA :D .

NAIL-FILES 101: CUTICLE REMOVER ( DISOLVER )

Hello beauties well as many of us know cuticles can be a pain in the bootey , I feel it marks the difference from a GR8 nail polish application from a "messy" looking one, but if you can pull of a GR8 nail polish application with cuticles , OMG youre my new hero.

I honestly would only pushem back with an orange stick and done-so. Until I decided TODAY is the day I need to get rid of them now, so I went on a journey to get something to get'em out , Walmart was my best bet lol, I went straight to the nail-care aisle and while I was trying not to look over to the nail polish section I saw a huge SALLY HANSEN section that honestly had never gotten my attention before, I mean I have purchased some stuff from that brand in the past but Id never taken a look so deep into it. I saw some cutile removing cream, oil and a gel. I was reading all the specs on all of them and decided that de GEL was the once I wanted to try.WHY? I decided to grab it because the box said " DISSOLVE cutiles in 15 SECONDS " I was likee yeiii , got home and did exactly what the box said , which was to put on the product on your cuticles for 15 seconds and after that to gently push the cuticle back and remove the excess product with soap water.

The product worked really well , if you need something effective to remove cuticles and are maybe in a hurry or just want to try something different try ( ( Sally Hansen Cuticle Dissolver ) )

STARTING FALL WITH "ZOE" by: JULEP

ZOE 
Description from the JULEP website: A zesty, smoky burnt umber.
Ok now in my words :D
What a better way to kick-start your "fall" season than to be rite on trend with a orangy-metallic-copperish nail polish. Its just like having fall leaves at your fingertips. 
The consistency of the polish is super creamy and it glides on the nail AMAZING as usual on Julep nail polish. 


The color is really vibrant and it suits every skin tone ( personal thought ). This polish came in my Julep Maven box, if youre not familiar with what Julep Maven is I will link below my Blog on Julep Maven. Once I got it I was kinda not happy because ZOE was so not a color I would pick just out of the blue. On my " I have nothing to do episode " I decided to change my nail polish and I was like 
"lets give it a shot". Let me tell you I was beyond impressed on the outcome, the color amazed me now I can say I can eat my "thoughts" because I really loved the color. Deff. I proved myself that YOU CANT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
Here are some swatches on different types of light, hope your girls like it and sorry If theres any booboos on my nails I try my best :D

LETS TALK ABOUT LIPS: BURTS BEES

Theres a few things you should know about LIPS. YES our lips need to be taken care for in order to have them look at their fullest all the time.

Well just our body the 1st and  MOST IMPORTANT of all the tips your can get is HYDRATE ! 

Lips just like other parts of our body its formed by a "dermis" and "epidermis". The slight difference from the texture or compound of the skin in the lips is that the dermis of the skin on the lips doesn't have any hairs or sweat glands. Which means that this area is directly and bare exposed to the environmental conditions with almost no protection. since thenatural lubrication is absent we have some frequent "bad" factors occur to our lips such as chapped lips or REALLY severe chapped lips.

OK after all my lecture long story short , we have to lubricate and rehydrate the lips ourselves.

-Drink lots of water

-Avoid harsh weather

-ALWAYS carry or have a lipbalm onsite and USE IT

My recommendations HUGE from the heart recommendations on lip products are DEFF. Burts Bees products the regular Lipbalm is GR8 !! recently I just gave it a shot with their "tinted lip balm" and I find it pretty useful just for the fact that once your lipstick , lipgloss or whatever it is that you are wearing in your lips, has dried out or wipped-off. You can bust out your tinted lip balm and it will give a flushed look. 

Here are some swatches from their tinted lip balm in the color PINK BLOSSOM

SKIN-A-LICIOUS : DEEP REVIEW

Heeelllo people !! so as many of you know I’m a self declared bath junkie ! , i love anything that makes one smells delicious , I love to try new brands from retail to small self-owned companies, and let me tell you the “big” companies are NOT that great. The small companies happen to put more effort and love into their products and they make you feel special , well at least they make me feel special. The simple fact that its either one or 5 people running the company , that tells me that its full hands -on production not a huge company with bizillion amount of people and they do the same every day.


I stumbled up with this brand about 2 months ago and have been looking it up for quite a while. Reading reviews , looking up other youtube videos ect. . so finally I decided to give it a try , honestly I was so hard for me to make my 1st selection because believe it or not al the soaps are so so pretty and colorful and trust me I LOVE COLOR <3.  

I just placed my 1st order with them a couple of minutes ago and trust me Im so so excited :) to have it in my hands already. The following pictures belong to the actual site they were NOT taken by me or else. I will post the description of each one of my items and what it claims to smells like. Once I receive my order I will post pictures by me and describe what my nose detected ..lool :D .

NAME: CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

INGREDIENTS: 

Soponified organic oils of Olive, Palm,

Coconut, Rice Bran, Sodium Hydroxide,

Color, Body Safe Glitter and Fragrance

CLAIMS: 

This scent is sinfully addicting. The chocolate scent is mixed with

our butter cream fragrance that will make your mouth water.

I am not held liable if you are on a diet and break it after taking a shower.

(( RESULT )) 

NOT MY FAV, I WISH IT WOULD'VE HAD MUCH OF A STRONGER SCENT TO IT, BUT I DONT REGRET BUY IN IT I JUST THINK INSTEAD OF RE-PURCHASING ILL TRY SOMETHING NEW.

NAME: FRUITY-LICIOUS BAR

 INGREDIENTS :

Soponified organic oils of Olive, Palm, Coconut, Soy Bean Oil,

Sodium Hydroxide, Sugar and Fragrance

CLAIMS: 

The smell of this soap is simply scrumptious, you have to remind yourself that it is a soap bar and something you want to bite into.  It is a creamy fruity scent, almost like a bowl of fruit loops, hence the fruit loops on top. The topping was created with a mold that was taken from the actual fruit loops. 

(( RESULT )) 

I AM HOOKED FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PRODUCT !!! ENOUGH SAID. !

NAME: TRUE BLOOD ERIC 

INGREDIENTS: 

Soponified organic oils of Olive, Palm, Coconut,

Rice Bran, Jojoba Beads, Sodium Hydroxide

CLAIMS:

Can you tell that I am a FAN?  Can you also tell who is my favorite?  I love, love, love this show and couldn’t pass up trying to figure out what this hotty must smell like, or perhaps what I would love for him to smell like.  This soap contains 3 colors.  The paler of the 3 contains red jojoba beans for a nice exfoliation.  The others colors are red and black of course, a Vampire’s favorite color. It is topped off with a silver shine finish that may rub onto your skin when used for the first time, but it body safe.  The silver adds a great deal to the over all bar itself, giving it a pop, or as Eric might say “a bite”.  The scent is a seductive tantalizing blend of musk, exotic woods, with hints of fresh lime.  You will simply love it as well as your partner.  Don’t let this soap get by, trust me.

(( RESULT ))
