Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing Night Scrub



I have tried to find a scrub to take my makeup off at night time because I found that the wet wipes didn‘t work, and I thought I had fond a good makeup remover...abviously I didn't. My skin doesn’t usually break out, and I have very dry skin. Ever since I started using this face scrub my skin has broke out pretty bad and my skin is even more dry than normal. I now have 3 bumps on my chin, 1 on my cheek, and 1 on the side of my nose. I have been using it for about two weeks and the only thing I have done different with my makeup application/removal is use this Neutrogena makeup remover. SO if you have dry skin like mine I wouldn’t recommend this for you. Those of you with oily skin might have a different outcome, so those of you with oily skin try it out and let me know your result.

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

Okay, so as promised, here is the review for the Sexy Curves Mascara. I bought it Wednesday night, Woo Hoo, and I love it. I have used it since I bought it and it works amazing. Sunday when I applied it my mom asked me if I was wearing my fake lashes, so it must be good huh? The packaging is obviously very cute. It gave my lashes alot of length, and it made my lashes look very full and vibrant. There was absolutely no clumping. It lasted a long time, I applied it at about 8 am and it still looked full and vibrant at 9 pm. I actually like it more than the Glam Eyes Mascara. Although the Glam Eyes give you the same affect as Sexy Curves, the Sexy Curves give a more intense length, which makes your lashes look amazing. I'm so glad I finally got to try it. I paid $8 for it at Walmart. Its a great buy for the great quality of the mascara.

Max Factor ColorGenius Foundation with Minerals


For all those who are looking for a good foundation, I can tell you right now this foundation is NOT what you're looking for. I am very displeased with this foundation. The coverage sucks, once it drys it looks darker than your skintone, and it's just really a bad quality foundation. I bought the 210 Ivory number 1, which is the lightest shade, and it was still too dark for me. I applied it at 9am and by 9:30 am my face looked all splochy and dark in some places and light in others. I can actually say this was a waste of money, I think I payed like $6 or $7 at Walmart, and I definately do NOT recommend this foundation. The only drug store brand foundation I would recommend is the Revlon Color Stay Foundation. More expensive foundations I would reccomend would be: Mac and Lancome. I'm sure there are others that are good too, I just haven't really tried any others. I am going to Sephora soon and I will be trying the MUFE Foundation, and I will do a review of that as soon as I try it.

Mac Glitter Liner VS. Too Faced Starry Eyed Liner

I'm going to do this review comparing the Mac Glitter Eyeliner and the Too Face Starry Eyed Liner. I'm going to give you information, colors, payoff, cost on each one, I hope this will help you out when you decide which to buy.

The Mac Glitter EyeLiner: You can purchase this glitter liner online at maccosmetics.com orat your local Mac counter/store for $16.50. There are four different shades: (1) Her Glitz, a darker blackish brown with sparkles. (2) Glitterpuss, a orangy brown with glitter. (3) Kitty Power, pink with glitter. (4) Girl Groove, clear with sparkles.
I own Her Glitz and Girl Groove. The glitter doesnt show up all that well in any but the Girl Groove, and if your looking for a great sparkle/glitter payoff like I am, then I wouldn't recommend this for you. If you don't want much sparkle and just a little sparkle that is not that noticable then I would reccomend this product for you. The liner lasts all day it has a great payoff so I am definately pleased with that. I would recommend this for a more toned down look.

Too Faced Starry Eyed Liner: You can purchase this glitter liner online at toofaced.com or at Sephora and also at Ulta. The cost is $17.50 for a .14 oz. It comes in nine different shades:
(1) Restraining Order, dark blue with sparkle. (2) Stalkerazzi, brown with sparkle. (3) Ooh & Aah, black with sparkle. (4) Gold Digger, gold with sparkle. (5) Obsessed Fan, green with sparkle. (6) Mad Mad Love, pink with sparkle. (7) Drunk Dial, light blue with sparkle. (8) Super Freak, fushia with sparkle. (9) Silver Lining, silver sparkle.
The one I own is Silver Lining, and I love it. I love sparkle so I want the more defined and vibrant sparkle and the Too Faced Starry Eyed Liner definately gives me that. SO if you are like me and want the sparkle to really show then these are the glitter liners for you. This liner also has great payoff, and it lasted all day with me so thats a plus!!! I recommend this for all you sparkle lovers out there like me. =]

My Opinion: Both glitter liners are great. I prefer the Too Faced Starry Eyed Liner. But still I recommend both. You could use the Mac glitter liner for a daytime toned down look so that you have just that little hint of sparkle. And you could use the Too Faced Starry Eyed Liner for a night time look if you're going out with friends, partying, or clubbing. It's just all in your preference.

Hope you enjoyed =]

Hello Kitty Tinted Lip Conditioner

I am so excited to do a review of this product. The Hello Kitty "Pink Fish" Tinted Lip Conditioner, sadly a limited edition. This is the product I was most excited about besides the Mimmy lip gloss. It is such a pretty light pink, and it smells sooooo good!!! It has an SPF of 15 which is great for your lips. It looks like a lipstick when you apply it but its so pretty and so elegant. It would look great on light skin tones like mine, and I'm sure it would look good on other skin tones too. I did a neutral look the other day and wore this lip conditioner with it and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't know what I will do when I run out of it, I absolutely love this so much. I paid $16 for it at my Mac counter, so if your counter has it still I recommend you get two, I'm still kicking myself for only getting one. =[

Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara

The one thing I could not live without!!! I bought thismascara for the sole purpose of me liking the pink and black packaging, little did I know that I would fall in love with the way it made my lashes look. The brush part is somewhat like a comb for you lashes, which helps to separate the lashes so they wont look clumpy. It gives your eyes that natural vibrant look, and it makes my lashes look pretty long too. You would think you were wearing false lashes. I think I paid $6 at Walmart, which is a great deal. I would definately buy this again, I LOVE it. Rimmel also came out with a new mascara called Sexy Curves and I can't wait to get it and try it out. Hope this was helpful.

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner

The Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil, where do I begin? I have to say, I like this product, but I'm not crazy about it. I bought the black one (zero) and have been using it for the past few days; I bought it after hearing how amazing it was, so I thought "hey, this must be one heck of an eyeliner." It is very creamy and goes on very smoothly. It goes on very bold, so you don't have to keep applying more and it's very easy to smudge. I found within a few hours it began to smudge a little underneath my eyes and it began to somewhat fade. I paid $16 for it at Ulta, I will most likely keep using it because I don't want to waste the liner and my money, but I say I would give this product a 7 out of 10. I don't hate the product, and I might buy it again, I just haven't made up my mind yet. I'm probably going to give it a few more weeks and come back with my final decision and let you know how I feel then, so there will be a continuation soon.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance



This product is amazing!!! I love this base. There has always been the question "What base should I use?" My preference is the Too Faced Shawdow Insurance, although I haven't tried any others, alot of people say the Urban Decay Primer Potion is good, so you could give that a try. There is a video on youtube comparing TFSI and UDPP, and I'll post a link to that at the end of this review. Anyways, the color is a very nude color that just blends right into your skin. It even hides the veins on your eye lids You only need a little amount for each eye, so that's a penny saver!!! It's very creamy, and it really does it's job. The only thing I don't love is it makes your shadows you apply somewhat harder to blend, because it just grabs the color and wants to hold it in one place. Other than that it's the perfect base for your eyes. You can purchase this online at http://www.toofaced.com/ or http://www.sephora.com/ and it cost about $17. Like I said it's a great product and I love it. Hope you enjoy =]

Quick Tip:

Got a bump you're trying to hide, and don't want to have to check every five minutes to make sure it's not visible? Apply a little Too Faced Shadow Insurance on the problem area and then apply your concealer. Now you will have a longer lasting zit free day =]

Oh and here is the link to the comparison of TFSI and UDPP:

MUFE 5 Camoflouge Cream Palette



I absolutely love this palette. This is the Make Up For Ever 5 camoflouge cream paltette in number 1 (the one shown above.) I bought mine a couple of months ago after seeing the Makeup Geek use it and I'm so glad I purchased it. It has 5 concealers, 3 are colors that compliment your skintone, and the other 2 are to hide dark circles(the orange) and redness(the green). They have five different palettes depending on your skin tones. Palette number 1 is for light to fair skintones. Palette number 2 is also for somewhat fair to tan skintones. Palette number 3 is for Medium to Dark skintones. Palette number 4 is for dark skintones. And palette number 5 is for professional makeup artists (I haven't seenthis one on the Sephora site). You can buy these at Sephora for $36, Sephora is the only place I know of that you can purchase this product. The concealers are all very creamy and easy to blend out. This product has worked wonders for me, I have dark circles and lots of redness and the ocassional bump, but with this palette none of these problems are noticable. I am very pleased with the pay-off with this palette and I will purchase it again. If you have any questions about this palette or any other things you can email me at: whitney.sherelle@yahoo.com

Mac Studio Moisture Cream

I have a new love!!! I have extremely dry skin and have never found a moisturizer that is up to my standards...until now. I purchased the Mac Studio Moisture Cream about 3-4 months ago and love it. It lasts a long time, mine has lasted 3-4 months and I still have ALOT left, even after using it everyday, twice a day. It is very creamy and smells amazing. I don't know how I lived so long without this moisturizer. I paid about $30 at my local MAC counter, and in my personal opinion it's been worth every penny. If you have extremely dry skin then you should definately give this moisturizer a try. I hope this helps, and I will be back soon with more reviews.
