LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR DUO[+] AND A.I!!!!

THE PRODUCTS THAT SAVED MY SKIN!!!!

I cant say enough good things about the La roche posay effaclar line! So when i got pregnant for my second son i broke out really bad, i really didn't know how to handle it because i havent ever really suffered from spots before, i'd get the random spot here and there like once a month, imagine how i felt when all of a sudden i had spots like every other day and they would leave scars on my face, i tried everything, all the things i was using for spots before didn't work, sometimes it would seem like its going away then it would come back. I'll tell you guys about all the different things i did to eventually stop my acne because i feel like its a few things that helped, but these two products where truly the breaking point! They just work wonders on spots, i rub the effacer a.i on the areas on my face that i tend to get spots always, which is around my lower cheeks (more on one side) and around my forhead, it really does keep my spots away, it can also be used as a spot treatment, so if you get a spot just apply a small amount on the spot and trust me it makes the spot disappear, i love this stuff! After i apply the effacer a.i i apply my serum and then i apply the effaclar duo all over my face, its moisturizes, protects from acne and smooths out my skin, it has a serum like texture. This stuff works! (well it worked for me and even my friend that i made try it so i'm hoping it will work for others too). I use a whole bunch of things from their line now, i'll be doing reviews on the different things i use soon so look out for it.... I hope this post is helpful to someone because truly this product helped me a lot!!!

L.A. GIRL BEAUTY BRICK EYE SHADOW COLLECTION!!!

Hi guys,

Here's my review for the l.a. girl beauty brick eye shadow palettes. There are 4 different palettes available- nudes, ultra, smokey and neon, and i have 2 out of the 4, i have nude and ultra. The shadows are really good i mean for the price u can't go wrong, they are really affordable, only thing is when applying i get fall outs and that can be quite annoying, but if i use an eye primer it helps and it really just makes the shadows pop! love love love the colours too!!! Here are swatches of the 2 palettes i have (the swatches are without primer, so just imagine how much more it pops with a primer).....

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS HAUL!!!

Hiya,

I ordered some anastasia beverly hills products online a couple of months ago (not in nigeria i ordered it when i was in the uk), thought i'd do a mini review on the products i got.....



ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONCEALER- 3.5
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS BROW WIZ- EBONY
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS DUO BRUSH- #7
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TINTED BROW GEL- ESPRESSO 

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONCEALER- $20
DESCRIPTION- This full-coverage concealer instantly camouflages dark under-eye circles, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes. The hydrating cream formula glides over skin without caking or settling for results that are smooth, natural, and flawless.
WHAT I THINK- This concealer is definitely full coverage!!! Its really thick but still creamy. I love that it has 16 different shades, so there is def a shade for everyone, i got it in 3.5. I bought it to use to conceal dark spots but when it came the shade i ordered was lighter than what i thought it would be, so i decided to use it for highlighting and contour, only thing is that i find its just a little to thick for my under eye area, (think i'm also really just used to my other more liquid concealers) I use my beauty blender to apply this concealer, i tried using my brushes but i personaly think the beauty blender is just what works best! I have actually also used this to clean my brows and also as an eye base. All in all i'm glad i got it, infact i'm planning to buy the darker shade to use to conceal spots.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS BROW WIZ- $21
DESCRIPTION- This ultra-slim mechanical pencil flawlessly outlines brows and fills in sparse or over-tweezed areas. Neither too soft nor too firm, the retractable tip glides effortlessly to mimic natural hair and create the illusion of texture.
WHAT I THINK- This product is the bomb!!! Like seriously i love this stuff! Super easy to use. I dont like doing to much to my brows cause really dont like the drawn in look, but this product just works for me, i use it to fill in my brows, it just has such a natural look. It comes in 9 different shades, i got it in the shade ebony.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS DUO BRUSH (#7)- $18
DESCRIPTION- This angled flat brush has soft, synthetic bristles designed for use with Brow Powder Duo. The superfine edge precisely sweeps color through brows and mimics natural hairs.
WHAT I THINK- I got this brush cause its travel size, its super cute. lol! Its a pretty good brush actually love that its small so its very precise.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TINTED BROW GEL- $22
DESCRIPTION- Like a mascara for brows, this lightweight, tinted brush-on gel subtly intensifies and volumizes. Use it to deepen blonde brows, brighten dark brows, or conceal gray hair. One swipe offers a hint of pigment and flexible hold without residue.
WHAT I THINK- So i dont know about this product, not really feeling it. The brush is just too big, so it kind of gets messy sometimes, like i have to take my time to apply this, once its applied it does a great job, it holds my brows in place and gives it a nice tint, it just makes it look fuller, but i really dont like spending too much time on my brows, prefer nice quick products, this would have been perfect if the brush was smaller! It comes in 4 shades, and i got it in espresso.

SUMMER READY!!!!

Hey guys, so summer is here!!!..... thought i'd share some great summer colours! Recently i've been into orange and peach blushes, shadows and lippies.... cant get enough! I got these babies from online stores in nigeria (sooo sorry i cant remember right now cause got them few months ago, if i remember will update.)
From L-R: milani bella eyes gel eye powder eye shadow(bella mandarin), mac proenza schouler blush ombre (ocean city), too faced melted liquified long wear lipstick (melted nude)

I am so inlove with the mac proenza scholar blush and the too faced melted liquified long wear lipstick! I love how easy it is to apply the lipstick, and its just the perfect nude for me, its not a light nude its a peachy pink nude if that makes sense lol, i love it anyway! I bought a mini version of it in the shade melted nude because i wanted to try it out first, but im definitely going to buy a bigger version of it, love it that much!
 The mac blush is a peach tone blush, it feels soo good on my skin and it really gives me a nice coral beachy look. love it!
 The milani eye shadow is soooo silky omg! cant even describe it... It is super pigmented and applies like a dream. I own quite a few shades of these eye shadows, it has def become one of my fav!!! Been loving milani products in general, have a few things i'm planning to reveiw soon.....

ENJOY!!!

LIPPIES!!!

Hiya,
these are a few lip products i got online amongst other stuff (i said in one of my previous posts that i'd be doing a review of the products so here it is)

MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS MOISTURIZING LIP BALM (L-R: PEACH KISS AND OH ORANGE): I looooove these lip balms! love it that it has a tint of colour and it moisturizes really well with out being over bearing ( you know how some lip balms are just way too greasy? this isn't like that thank God), perfect for when when i have no make up! This is always in my gym bag (for whenever i do make it to the gym lol!) 
MAC LIPSTICK (LADY DANGER): I mean i really dont have to say much about mac lipsticks! I love this lippie!!!! Its a beautiful red with orange undertones. Happy i bought this. Hit!!!

WET N WILD!!!

I got these wet n wild products amongst other products a few months back from accessoriesng an online store in nigeria (as i mentioned in one of my previous posts). Here are the products and what i think about them....

 WET N WILD LIPSTICK (BARE IT ALL): love this lipstick, its a matte natural mauve colour with blue undertones if that makes sense lol, its super pigmented and rich and goes on smooth on the lips, for the price you really can't go wrong, love it!


 WET N WILD MEGA EYES CREME EYELINER (BLACK): so because i have had this product for a few months now i can really do a proper review on it and its longevity or should i say its life span lol! When i first got it i loved it, it was super black and just went on easy even the brush was pretty cute to use, but this stuff dried up in no time! i was a little dissapointed cause i actually like this stuff... pity! I guess i have to go and find one of them liquids that u can drop in dried up products to revive it... (sorry don't know what its called now but i have seen them, when i find it dont worry i'll do a review)


WET N WILD COLORICON EYESADOW PALETTE (E249 VANITY): I really love this eye shadow palette, there was a point where i was using it almost every day, you can use it for so many different eye looks, i just love it, the only problem is i feel its best used with an eye primer, so if you feel like thats a hassel then its a prob but if you dont care then its great! for the price i think this is a pretty good palette, worth trying out!


KEVYN AUCOIN THE SENSUAL SKIN ENHANCER!!!

Hiya, this is my review on the kevyn aucoin sensual skin enhancer. I think this is probably the best concealer coverage wise i have, although i dont use it alot to be honest because its just way too pigmented for me to use every day, i use it when i have parties or events or really just feel like dressing majorly up lol. I'm pretty sure this stuff is going to last me forever because its so pigmented you literally need just a tiny dab and your good. So i know this stuff is supposed to be a foundation/concealer but i use it only as a concealer mainly for under my eyes for brightening, i dont really like using this on blemishes unless its dried out because i think it has mineral oils in it which is def not good for spots. Anyway all being said i do love this product! I got it in the hade sx11.




L.A GIRL GLAZED LIP PAINT!!!

Hey guys, so this is my review on the la girl lip paints i got from accessories ng. I got 3 shades baby doll, hot mess, and coy. So basically i dont have very much to say about these sorrrrryyy..... but i really did try to love it but i just dont love it, i think its just an okay product to be honest, i can't quite get a hang of it, its just not an easy product to apply, it applies quite messy, basically the way this works best for me is to apply with a lip brush, other wise it just goes every where, on the up side its definitely pigmented and they have a nice range of beautiful colours. These lip paints are actually great dupes for the too faced melted liquified long wear lipsticks.
                      FROM L-R: COY, HOT MESS, BABY DOLL
