Back to School  Clear Skin Tips By: Paula M. 1. Rest!  -At least 6-7 hours but ideal is 8 -Don't nap right after school, instead snack a little and then proceed to doing hw or prepare for the next day to make it easier for the morning (like preparing your cucumber waters!) image from:  http://seacoastworship.com/blog/post/139-core-day-twenty-eight-rest 2. Water....Hydrate Yourself! -This is where that cucumber water comes into play, I don't like water so much so I used those mio flavors but they just didn't taste good sometimes and I loveeee cucumbers! -Remember 8 glasses of water a day is ideal about 64 fl oz BUT we're not the same and don't do the same things, some of us are in sports or do a lot of walking and lose more electrolytes than others so listen to your body if you're thirsty instead of juice or gatorade opt for that refreshing cucumber water!  -There are a lot of fruit variations for water but I wa...

Urban Decay All Nighter 4.0 fl oz $32 (Sephora/Ulta) -has semi matte finish  Pixi Makeup Fixing Mist 2.70 fl oz $15 (Target) --has somewhat luminous finish, very good nozzle mist Milani Make it Dewy/Make it Last 2.03 fl oz (Walmart/HEB/Target) -luminous and semi matte finishes, works well on setting makeup BUT HORRIBLE top keeps leaking product  Pacifica Coconut Probiotic 1.7 fl oz $15.99 (Target) -has glow from within look does not look luminous as in shiny or dewy whatsoever, has very matte finish smells like coconut and vanilla  BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Primer .40 fl oz $15/ 1.35 fl oz $36 (Sephora/Ulta) -as label says, very matte but also very expensive as a full size Too Faced Hangover 3 in 1 Primer Setting Spray 4.0 fl oz $32 (Sephora/Ulta) -very hydrating and provides good makeup base as well as luminous finish as setting spray Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist 2.70 fl oz $15 (Target) -not marketed as setting spray but it worked ...

First of all, I love and adore the original Hangover Primer in the tube. It is definitely hydrating and helps my makeup last so I was overjoyed that they made their spray version of it and you can also use as a setting spray? What?! I clicked order as soon as I saw it available. This is the bottle and how it looks like, the color scheme is exactly like tube form. It also has the same claims except of course you can spray this after your makeup is applied and to "refresh" throughout the day. Only negative is the packaging, it leaks when I take it with me, the spray is too strong not a mist and the bottom part makes it even bulkier than it is. After applying spraying it as a primer, it definitely felt the same as the one in the tube! A little bit tacky but not too much, same smell as well. I did a side by side spray on one then the tube on the other they were the same. I do however suggest to spray this not so close to your face as it will focus on a specific are...

I received this package for free from Influenster and I am beyond grateful! I loved the powders so much I'm actually considering of getting my own full size!  The shade golden glow matched me better but it was still a shade lighter than me, but with a bronzer, it turned out okay so I may need a shade darker I'm more of a darker medium but not full tan. To compare to a mac shade I'd be NC35-40 around there.  They were sheer to medium coverage when applied twice with a  kabuki-like brush. If you use a normal powder brush it will for sure be very light. I used my primer first, concealer under eyes and some spots and then applied the powder. Just like how you would with a normal powder foundation.  The blush is a nude rose blush I really enjoyed the color! Eyeshadows were soft and blendable the colors were natural and had a satin finish.  The lip and cheek stain I would just use as a lip stain. It is very light but definitely stains and I would've o...

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

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 ...
