Bare Republic Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - 1.7oz (w/ images)

Image
First of all, I love LOVE this sunscreen! I have been searching for a mineral sunscreen that I can use daily and 14.99 is not so bad considering all the pros that come with it. I have no cons to say, even though the price is a bit up there for a drugstore sunscreen, it is not thick or caused any breakout to my sensitive skin. MAKE SURE TO SHAKE before using because it does separate! PROS: 1. CRUELTY FREE - big deal for me 2. drugstore - very accessible 3. does not give a white cast 4. dries down feels like my normal skin after it has settled (10 minutes max) 5. does not have a residue but doesn't dry skin either first applied after its settled

Pacifica Suncare Coconut Probiotic Mineral Face Shade SPF 30 Review (w/ images)

Image
I got this about two weeks ago because I loved the claims! Water resistant, mineral sunscreen, probiotic, and cruelty-free. It has a very nice packaging a tube is always a plus.  The consistency is not runny like typical sunscreen a little bit more thick and creamy, the ONLY downside to this is the hideous white cast! It slightly subsided after half an hour but it was still obvious.  To me, this isn't a daily sunscreen to be used under makeup to go to the office or anything. So I suggest applying this VERY VERY lightly only when you're doing outdoor activities and maybe under a bb cream or powder that is your skin tone so it's not so obvious.  Since it is a hydrating sunscreen, it is not the type that will dry or mattify, it remained that dew like finish the whole time I had it on but it did not cause me to break out or anything.  I purchased mine from target for 12.99.  right after applying it and I probably should've used WAY LESS ...

Milani Make It Last-Dewy Setting Spray Review and Wear

Image
For a drugstore setting spray I found this to be the best and even comparable to Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray! Does not feel sticky or heavy the mist is very fine and for a $9 spray that performs like a $30 I am definitely sold! The "dewy" claim does not make my face super dewy or anything just emphasizes my highlighted points. Watch my video on how it helped my makeup stay on :) 1. does not feel sticky or do I feel like I had a setting spray on 2. nice very light fragrance that dissipates 3. let's my makeup keep its glow on certain areas does not make me oily or too matte 4. affordable so definitely worth a try 5. fine mist

Maybelline Royal Blue Mascara and Unstoppable Waterproof Eyeliner Review

Image
Naked lashes After four coats of mascara Thank you so much Influenster and Maybelline for giving me a chance to review this mascara and eyeliner as well! My lashes are short so a little bit of mascara helps. In the picture, you can see that it gave it some length but it isn't a lengthening or volumizing mascara it is your typical mascara that really just coats your lashes.  For color pay off it took me about four coats letting each a bit dry before applying another to avoid just clumping everything.   You can tell that I am wearing a blue mascara as well, my sister even said they are obvious in natural lighting.  I wore it throughout the day and living in Texas it is humid and it did not smear or smudge like some of my mascaras! I would rate this 3 out of 5 stars . So the two stars off are because one, animal testing with Maybelline is still not clear they claim to be non-believers of animal testing yet state that when necessary they will? ...

Innisfree No-Sebum "Blur" Powder Review

Image
 I used it in this pic and this is flash photography no white cast! (AS LONG AS YOU DON'T USE MUCH-VERY LITTLE GOES A LONGGGG WAY) This powder is the best! I know there is another version but the claim that it "blurs" is definitely true! I am addicted to its very faint sweet mint scent, it disappears only can actually smell it in the container. I use it to set my eyes after concealing and in the inner portion of my face including laugh lines.   I carry it around also to touch up when needed and it's usually just once since it is VERY HOT here in Texas! It does not look cakey after a touch up of anything very finely milled powder. I bought mine at a Korean Cosmetics Store in Houston for 9.99 but be aware of fakes online!!! I read some reviews on Amazon that they had received fakes!  Application: Only use a very little amount whatever goes on the puff that's what you use because a little goes a long way you can always add but don't over powder it is...
