NEW JulieG Limited Edition Frosted Gum Drops Collection! Review/ Swatches

 I am one of those that was VERY skeptical of texture polishes, but I sure ate my words because I seriously cannot get enough of them now! I cant wait to add more Julie G Nail Polishes to my collection!!!

What Are They 

JulieG's collection of snappy nail polishes can add an element of delicious-looking texture. Once dry, the polish's glittery finish is reminiscent of sugarcoated gumdrop candy. Opt for a single color on hands and feet or create a rainbow-like effect using multiple colors for one manicure.

Color Selection

Hot Cinnamon- Red, textured with shimmer in what looks to be shades of red, pink, brown and gold.

Sugar Rush-Fiery red-orange, textured with shimmer in what looks to be shades of gold and red.

Tangerine Dream-Golden orange, textured with shimmer in what looks to be gold .

Rock Candy- Turquoise green , textured with shimmer in what looks to be shades of sliver.

Blueberry Fizz-Denim blue , textured with shimmer in what looks to be shades of sliver.

Crushed Candy-Lavender purple pink , textures with shimmer in what look to be shade of fuchsia.

Application

For a textured polish, application was almost too simple. It went on incredibly smooth and removal was not difficult ( isnt hard to take off like glitter). It dries to a matte finish, keeping the texture subtle but apparent. It can be left with one coat for a lighter less vibrant  application.

Brush

The brush is a small narrow brush , which I like since I feel I have more control of the brush and how I apply the polish to my nails , however if you have larger nail beds you might not like this brush type , but I promise you will look pass that because these polishes are killer and to die for !!

 Price

JulieG Limited Edition Frosted Gum Drop Collection retails for $3.99 USD and is found at most Rite-Aid stores nation wide or Jessie Girl website !

My Thoughts- I adore these polishes! Every color is absolutely amazing, they are super sparkly. The formula is wonderful they are very pigmented and they dry fast down to their sugary texture, I hope they come out with more shades and collections :)

I purchased the product(s) featured in this post myself.

Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Review

Im a big Essence Beauty Fan , I love so many of there items , So when I was sent these item I was stoked , come alone and see what I had to stay about the New Essence  Stay No Matter What Collection.

 

About Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Collection

What I Received

Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Waterproof Eyeliner Pen (Midnight Black)

 Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Waterproof Eyepencil (Smokey Grey)

Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What 24h Waterproof Volume Mascara (Black)

What They Claim

 Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Waterproof Eyeliner Pen (Midnight Black)-Extremely resistant! this eyeliner pen’s formula lasts up to 24 hours – even after jumping into the pool! with a felt-tip applicator, the deep-black texture creates an accurate line that lasts… and lasts and lasts, no matter what!

 Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Waterproof Eyepencil (Smokey Grey)Party-proof for up to 16 hours! this plastic pencil kajal can be sharpened – and it stays put! the creamy, soft texture offers great coverage and won’t smudge. it is also waterproof and lasts all day (and all night). made of pvc-free material with a high coverage, the eye pencil won’t melt at temperatures below 40°c. available in three stays no matter what colors.

Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What 24h Waterproof Volume Mascara-A waterproof volume mascara, here comes the perfect mascara for long nights of dancing, extensive shopping tours, long swimming sessions ... simply all walks of life. tested and found to be absolutely essential for all active beauties. the waterproof formula ensures lashes full of volume for up to 24 hours and the innovative fiber brush captures each individual lash with its creamy formula. for an awesome look that stays put.

Application

 Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Waterproof Eyeliner Pen (Midnight Black)-Im a big fan of felt tip eyeliner pen, and I had very high hope for this product only because it claims to be waterproof, however the application is nice , it did go on smoothly and didnt tug on my eye area , but it did bleed and run once it was applied doesnt really dry well , and it drys kinda shining  , BUMMER although Essence claim this product to be waterproof is wasnt for me , not saying that it not for others but this budged with in the first hour I applied it ,transferred to the lower lash area giving me panda eyes , not pretty in my opinion .

 Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What Waterproof Eyepencil (Smokey Grey)- It's not as creamy as I had hoped, but still applies without too much difficulty , If you are using this to you upper lash line I think it is a winner , but if your are looking to use it on your waterline , it didnt work for me , once again like I said before it just not waterproof enough for me, it didnt run but it did fade and didnt last as long as I thought it would .

 Essence Beauty Stay No Matter What 24h Waterproof Volume Mascara- I am a mascara junkie so I was excited to try this out , I really enjoyed this mascara , I love how it applies evenly to the lashes without makeing your lashes clumpy , each lash get coated nicely by the big mascara wand , and it distributes the prefect among of product to your lash , I also like that this formula/brush make my lash long but fuller looking at the base of my lashes , the formula is  not wet at all , it is a semi dry/wet consistency more on the drier side  , I didnt have any flaking or smudging with this mascara , it stays all day and didn't budge , I cant say that this is a waterproof item that works .

  Would I Purchase Again ? Honestly im on the fence , Essence isnt a brand that I get to try often since I cant find it in my area , so I guess I had high hope for this items since ive heard so much hype about them . I do think I will continue to buy the mascara for sure  i enjoyed that mascara a ton , and I think I will be purchasing the other eyeliner pencil in a different color , because they do have a nice affect a , however as far as the eyeliner pen , im will be passing on that only because it transfers but I will continue to try it out and see if my thoughts change about it as I use it more.

Overall for the price of the product they are great , I mean you can really complain at a couple of bucks .

2nd Love Cosmetics Cream Gel Eyeshadow Review/Swatches

 Many big brands have been adding a twist to the regular old powder eyeshadows by creating newer creamy formulas.  Creamy shadows generally tend to crease, which is why I like to stay away. But some of these formulas surprised me, as they are long wearing, don’t crease and give an intense color to the eye . 

Here Is What I Thought About 2nd Love Cosmetics Cream Gel Eyeshadow

 What I Received 

2nd Love Cosmetics Cream Gel Eyeshadow In Topaz Gem & Snow Bunny

What Are They:  2nd Love Cream Gel Eye Shadow is a crease less, creamy eye shadow that provides intense and long-lasting color all day and night. It can be worn alone or used several ways. With such vibrant variety of color, the looks you can create are endless.

How To Apply:
1. Use ring finger or brush to blend the creamy color onto the eyelid.
2. Wear alone or you can apply eye shadow powder directly on top for more intense color. 

Color Selection

Snow Bunny- Sheen White

Punkrock- Black

Angelic -Light Sliver

Marine- Light Ocean Blue

Goldie- Golden Yellow

Roasted -Red Brown

Prismaplum-Plum Purple

Gunmetal- Shimmery Grey
Glow-Sunkissed Orange/Tan

Topezgem-Baby Blue

Island Sun- Lavender Pink

Royalty- Deep Royal Purple

Texture/Pigmentation: The texture in the jar feel hard , but once you dip your brush or finger in it and start to play with the cream shadow it loosen up, with that being said you wont have to dig into it or anything . The pigmentation is hit or miss I think , The white shade (snow bunny) is very sheer , even when I tried to build it up it still didnt give me deep white base I was looking for , however this  does have a very rich sheen to it , so this would make an awesome high light color to the brow bone & inner corner , as far as the blue shade ( Topez Gem ) is has pretty decent pigmentation , it goes on sheer  , but I can say that this color is very build able and is very bold and intense once built up .

With Flash

No Flash

Staying Power: I was very impressed with the staying power , Ill start by saying I have oily eyelid so using a cream shadow for me mean it gonna crease and not last long , but with these I tried them with a primer and without and I was floored by the staying power , when I tried them with a primer , these lasted a near 10 hours without  creasing , I think that is amazing considering these are a cream base , however when I used it without a primer they lasted about 7-8 hours before I had some fading and some flaking from the product , now you are not required to where a primer with these , these are made to wear on there own but I do think is you have oily skin to use a primer just because oil ofcourse will break down the product on your eye throughout the day

Price/Packaging: The packaging is a small round jar (3g) with a black lid , on the lid is the label with the company name , what it is and also the products name in white text , flip the small jar over and you have a clear label with the type of product it is in sliver text , however once you screw off the lid you have the the lovely product . 2nd Love Cosmetics Cream Gel Eyeshadow retail for $6.99 USD for 0.105 oz (3g).

My Thoughts:This eyeshadow works great. I like the cream base. It stays on all day for me with minimal touch ups if any at all. The colors are subtle and pretty, only thing Id like to see is more colors added to the colors they already have , maybe some brights , neon or metallic shades !

Rachel K CC Mineral Pressed Powder Review

Ever since I first heard about CC Creams – the next generation of BB Creams , I knew I had to try this out and find the best of the best of CC Creams/Powder , here is on I swear by .

What Does CC Mean?  It stands for Color Control, which is a much-improved and refined BB cream that will do everything expected of a BB cream and, an effective skin coverage.

What Is It ? Rachel K Mineral Color Control blemish balm pressed powder is a 4 in 1 makeup foundation, a natural mineral makeup concealer, powder and SPF protection all in one. The pigment rich powder protects skin with antioxidants and bound with Organic Shea Butter and Vitamin . It is designed to glide on smoothly to blend with and allow the natural skin tone to show through and provides excellent coverage for flawless finish that lasts all day.

How To Use It: Apply with a powder brush or included sponge applicator. Can be used all over face or just oily spots.

Texture:The texture is a very soft smooth finely milled pressed powder  not to heavy and not cakey at all very lightweight, however with that being said when you use a brush be very careful because you will see fall out if you press to hard into the product, so a little product done go along way , no need to swirl a million time because you will have a mess.

Coverage/ Pigmentation: The Pigmentation is a med/full-coverage mineral foundation( I used this in conjunction with Rachel K CC Cream for a full coverage flawless look , this covers redness , blemishes, darkness & hyper-pigmentation ,  however this is good for every skin type and condition, from oily skin to dry, mature types. 

Benefits:

Provides excellent sun protection and excellent coverage

100% hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic

Appropriate for all skin types, even for those with hyper sensitive skin

Anti-inflammatory properties, Zinc Oxide helps to calm and soothe irritated skin

Won't crease or smear during the day

100% chemically-free, preservatives-free, fragrance-free, talc-free

Reduces the appearance of aging

Ideal for all skin types from oily to hyper sensitive skin

Offers a natural look and natural feel

Long lasting

Staying Power: I have pretty oily/combo skin , so I always need to power my t-zone normally twice a day just to keep the oils at bay , but when I used Rachel K CC Powder I firsts applied it in the morning like I do with normal powders , I never had to reapply this power through out the day like I normally do so Id say it does what it claims plus some ! Rachel K CC Pressed Powder has maximum staying power , this lasted between 8-9 hours before I even saw a little oil peek thru my skin on the t-zone, however if you have drier skin , this may even last longer for your skin type.

Color Selection : Rachel K CC Pressed Powder come in 3 shade , honestly I didnt think 3 shade cut it for the amount of different skin type there are but here it the break down.

-Light -Light Porcelain, Best for people that have very fair skin that need a shade to wake them up and give them that pop of color even if you have pink or yellow undertones

-Medium- Light Beige, Best for people that have pink undertone that want to cancel out the pink and add a more golden tone to the skin complexion

-Deep - (This isnt a deep shade )Medium Tan, Best for woman of olive or deep complexions

Before- This picture show all my imperfection, redness & blemishes !

After-  Using Rachel K CC Cream & Rachel K CC Pressed Powder

Scent :No Scent At All.

Price/Packaging:I love the packaging , Rachel K CC Pressed Powder come in a sleek copper box with color changing text on the front , on the back it does tell you how to use it and what it is in a little bio, inside the box is the copper color compact, the compact does have the cute golden text stating what it is  and a small crown above the text , the compact does have a very good closure , inside the mirror compact you will first see the mirror and a small sponge for the pressed powder , below that is a small clear cover over the the CC Powder which I like because the sponge never sit in the product collecting bacteria , however under all that jazz is the beautiful powder engraved with the Rachel K trade mark ! Rachel K CC Pressed Powder retails for $42.00 USD, and is available in 3 shades!

My Thoughts:I couldn't be more please with the product ,I love it and it did everything I expected plus some, this reduces shine and absorbs oil better then any powder Ive ever used. The end effect is a flawless, non oily (matte) and radiant complexion !!

 How To Use It

Apply a generous layer of Miracle Revival Mud to clean skin. After 15 minutes rinse with water using circular motions to exfoliate. Use maximum twice a week. 

Texture 

It is a semi thick whipped taupe clay consistency with small gritty bits (M3 Complex ,anti-oxidants, vitamins , Green Tea Mushroom extract , Oat Beta Glucans and extracts of the Resurrection Plant reduce surface redness and promote radiance) however the texture doesn't hurt your skin once applied , it is very smoothing to the face with the grittiness and texture of the mask, it actually pretty refreshing and feel nice on the skin once you start to apply the mask in circular motion .

Application

Apply A generous layer to clean skin . After 15 minutes rinse off with water in circular motions to exfoliate. Use maximum twice a week .

Scent
The scent isn't the most lovely smell , but it does have a very strong ripe smell , it smell almost like a strong muddy clay scent , however the scent doesn't stay on your skin once the mask is washed away .

Price/Packaging
 Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud Skin Restoring Treatment Mask come in a yellowish green cardboard box , the box has some pretty cool details and text and of course state the name of the product , about the founder, ingredients and how to use the mask , inside the box is the mask itself , the mask come in a dark brown tube with a sliver twist off lid , the tube also indicates what is does and how to apply as well , once you open the sliver lid there is indeed a black stopper from the actually product , so you do have to get your hands dirty and pick up the product using your finger unless you have a beauty spoon or something to get into the products without touching it with your hands , it isnt a squeeze tube , that the only down fall on this mask. The mud mask retails for $38.00 USD for 3.88 oz and can be found on the Miracle Skin Transformer website which is linked below or also sold at Sephora & Sephora.com.

My Thoughts-When I tried this the very first time I thought it was gonna be like other face mask ive tried , however most mask I try I ever love or hate , since I have oily, sensitive and some work acne prone skin I think this was gonna be a nightmare for me, but it wasnt when I first applied it I had some mild tingling which disappeared after a few minutes. I then waited 15-20 minutes for the mask to dry and then removed it as instructed. It was very easy to remove and my skin felt hydrated, soft, and very tight which I loved that feeling because I knew the mask was working like it was suppose to , however I notice that is mask make an awesome exfoliator , my skin has never felt this good , I felt like everything on my face was washed away and new , I didn't have much redness around my nose & mouth like I normally do , I didn't  have dry patch and the best hard is it help keep my oils in my skin at bay , overall this is a great product for anyone, and I think everyone need to splurge and try this mask out, you wont be ashamed you spent a few extra buck on it cause it worth it .This mud mask delivers far beyond it's price!
