Stop oil in its tracks!

    I'm not going to lie... I'm a sucker for products. I watch A LOT of reviews on basically every product out there and I figure out what products sound good, and what products sound like they need to go in the trash! Although a lot of guru's give positive reviews, some also give negative reviews.. so you need to make sure you do your research when you decide to finally buy a product. 
     I was a sucker for JLovesMac1's review on skindinavia finishing sprays. Lately my face has been a lot more oily then usual. I normally have combination skin (oil in my T zone) but it seems like this past month I've had oil EVERYWHERE... and it's been causing me to break out! Yuck! I read Jarmaines review on the sprays and figured these sprays would be the solution to my problem... and I was right!
   I have the "Dance" spray and the "No more shine" spray! Here are the descriptions of each spray:

-No More Shine-

Matte hold on oily skin 

-10 Years Younger-

Resists drying and creasing.

-Cool Flash-

Heat resistant makeup hold. 

-DANCE!-

Active use makeup hold.

 

    I use the dance spray for nights out, and the no more shine spray for everyday use. I've seen a really nice difference in my skin and my oil has seemed to calm down a bit! I have MAC's fix plus but to me it feels like I'm just spraying my face with water; these sprays seem to actually have a purpose!

   Sometimes I regret being "suckered" into buying a product.. but after reading a ton of reviews and actually trying out the products myself, I'm glad I made the choice of getting it!

Morraccan Argan Oil

Morraccan oil is well known on youtube because of the "beauty remedies" it is used for. A lot of salons carry Morraccan oil, however the price for the amount of product is insane! You all know I'm verry penny smart and don't like to waste a lot of money. But since I had heard so much good talk about this oil, I figured I'd pick some up and give it a try.. (even if it did mean spending a good amount of cash) I got mine from eden allure. (www.edenallure.com)

Supposedly Morracan Oil helps:
-rejuvinate skin
-moisturizes and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles
-protects from harmful radicals that speed up aging

I have two of the beauty bars in Lavender and Grapefruit.
                                                                        Lavender:

Grapefruit:

These bars are very soft and moisturizing,however I'm not too fond of the smell.

Now the most talked about out of all of the products I have is definately the pure oil. The oil is mainly used for the skin or hair ( I use mine in my hair) and it helps keep everything soft and moisturized. I normally put the oik in the tips of my hair after I wash it, and I find that it does keep my ends soft, but the oil dosen't completely dry 100% and leaves an oily residue. I heard it's good for dry scalps, so I'm going to try it as a spot treatment on my scalp. 

Overall I do like morracan oil, but I don't know if it's the "beauty god" like everyone thinks it is.

Any thoughts?

Over hyped? L.A. colors

So I've heard a lot of hype over these pallates because for a dollar, the shadows are very pigmented, large and pretty good quality. I would say the shadows are another great addition to the loved ELF shadows, however ELF shadows are a little softer, but the size of the shadow is also a lot smaller.
   I only have one L.A. shadows pallate which is in Hipnotic. I picked this up awhile ago at my dollar tree, and haven't really used it all that much because the colors in the pallate are blue, and I barely wear colored shadows anymore.

For a dollar, the number(6) and size of the shadows (0.14 oz) is a great deal! The colors aren't as smooth and are a little chalky,but for a dollar, you really can't go wrong! I love the blues for eyeliner! I do like all the colors but the white one. The white shadow is very chunky and chalky! Yuck!

 Here's a couple swatches:

Whats your favorite L.A. colors pallates?

Bodycology vs. B&BW?

So I was recently hearing hype about bodycology and was curious to what was so great about it? I heard the brand is comparable to Bath and Body Works, however, so is the "body shop" but to me, B&BW still wins;)

I don't go to Walmart a lot, however this is where Bodycology is normally found.
I picked up 3 items; a body wash,body spray and hand soap.

My Mac flips the pictures,urgg!

The scent is unknown? All the bottle says is Ultra Rich, however it does say "New" so I assume it's new to the BC collection. When I smelled the body wash in the bottle, I wasn't too fond of it, but when I used it on my skin, it smelled very floral and I really like it!

The wash is a milky color and is very smooth on your skin. The texture is really creamy and easy to apply!

Next I picked up the scrubbing handsoap in "Cherry Blossom" in hopes it would be like the ones at B&BW, and I was right! The soap has little scrubbing beads in it, which exfoliate your hands and leaves them super soft! The smell is again very floral, and I could smell the scent as I was washing my hands!

Last is the body mist in "Midnight Garden" which is also a new smell. Again, in the spray bottle I wasn't thrilled with the smell,however when I sprayed in on my wrist, I fell in love! I can smell hints of lavender, and again just like the wash and soap, the scents are all very floral.

Overall I am very pleased with my first BC products and will definately purchase more from them again!
