U-Spicy Oval Makeup Brush Set Review! 😍

Hi ladies! I’m here today to share a review on a purchase that I made just recently off of amazon.com! We have all heard of, or seen videos on Instagram about these “Oval, Toothbrush-Style Makeup Brushes.” I have been fascinated by the idea of them since they first began blowing up online- I love innovative, unique ways to do your makeup. When Tarteist “Clay Paint Liner” tubes came out I was overjoyed at the new approach on applying your liner ❤️ Anyways, I really enjoy these oval brushes- I’m sure you will too! Let’s get right into the review…

First of all- I’d like to say I purchase these off of Amazon HERE. They were $19.99 + free shipping for Prime users! 💸

Right off the back I noticed how big and nice the box these brushes came in was! It’s sleek, sexy, smooth and makes you feel like you just made an awesome purchase for only twenty bucks! ❤️ It has a magnetic closure flap on the very front of the box that allows you to open it up and peek at your new goodies…

Now, I’d like to discuss how soft these bristles are. I mean seriously guys, it feels like they could be made of pure rabbit fur. I was a bit hesitant honestly on purchasing these in particular because of the price on amazon, thinking maybe the hairs were going to be coarser or of lesser quality than what I would have wanted. But I was WRONG!!! These seriously exceeded my expectations. They feel velvety smooth on your skin and apply your makeup flawlessly 💕💁🏻 

Another bonus would be how flexible these babies are! 😍 Talk about caressing your curves… Your face curves- that is! Here’s a screenshot of the amazon store picture example, and mine are just as flexible as this picture claims they are! So awesome.

 

The next cool thing was that it came with a manual on which brush would be ideal for each part of your makeup routine. Making it easy to get used to and remember! This isn’t a photo of the exact manual it came with inside of the box- but this was pulled from the amazon’s store pictures…

Overall, I absolutely am so excited to have purchased these brushes! I’m in love, and I would reccomend them to all of you ladies if you don’t have a set of oval brushes yet. Can’t wait to be using these from now on- my old brushes are gonna be sad 😞 Lol! But not me. 😝 Here is a photo of a look I created using all of these brushes… Something alien-y! 👽

Not the most traditional look, but hey! I was having a ton of fun lol 💜 Thanks so much for reading- I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you try these brushes out for yourself! They are so amazing for the price 😘 Please comment and leave thoughts for me!

Tony Moly Sheet Masks: The Reasons Behind The Fruits & Veggies 🍌🍅🍋🍓

Hi ladies! 😘 Recently when I was online shopping, I decided I wanted to get some skin/face products. I love trying masks of all sorts, my skin always feels great afterwards and it always leaves me searching for more delightful masks to try! 💖 That’s when I realized I have been wanting to try the Tony Moly brand. Some of you have probably seen or heard of it before now…

I purchased a 10 pack off of amazon.com and they were kind enough to send 11. 😁 I believe this cost me $7.00-$8.00 USD. Some of these different kinds have me really excited to put them on my face lol… Such as the red wine mask, avocado & also seaweed 💕 My kind of masks 😉🍷 Each mask serves a different benefit for your skins health. Let’s discuss them!

First up we have the Tea tree “Skin Soothing” mask. Tea tree oil is very healing & soothing to your skin and is very beneficial. It can help with acne and problemed skin. If you have painful acne or irritated pop ups this would definitely be the mask you’d want to use! 🌿

Next is the Pomegranate “Elasticity” mask. These one is pretty self explanatory, it’s going to tighten & firm your facial skin giving you a more youthful appearance. But the reason behind the fruit base, is because using/eating pomegranate helps with cell regeneration and strengthens & protects skin cells. It also boosts collagen production aiding in skin elasticity. Some people take pomegranate based vitamins for this.

This one is the Lemon Skin “Brightening” mask. Lemon is beneficial to skin because it can lighten dark spots & areas. It also lightens the skin to an even tone naturally because it is an astringent fruit, and has natural bleaching properties. 🍋🌞

This is the Tomato “Radiance” mask. People who drink tomato juice are contributing to their skins radiance! It is an excellent source of lycopene, which protects your skin from sun damage keeping it smooth and youthful. Tomato is also used for acne and dark spots. 🍅

 

Here is one of my favorites already, the Red Wine “Pore Care” mask. Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in grapes, red wine & chocolate thay scientists have proved to be strong anti-inflammatories & have other healing properties as well. Making it great for clearing problemed skin. 🍷Let’s raise our glass to that!

Next one I was so excited to recieve was this Avocado “Nutrition” mask. High in vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, potassium, vitamin B5 & B6 and vitamin E, you can see how good it can be for your skin. 😁

This is the Aloe “Moisturizing” mask. I am a huge fan of ALL aloe vera masks. My skin has never felt softer than after letting my face drink up aloe. 🌱💕 It helps soften dead skin cells and aid in their removal, revealing healthy hydrated skin. 👸🏻 Opposite to that, it helps cell regeneration as well.  Proven to delay signs of aging.

Here’s another interesting one, a Broccoli “Vitality” mask. The credit for keeping your skin glowing and young goes to expert antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin-C, as well as other helpers like vitamin B complex, vitamin E (the one that gives shine to your skin and hair while reviving skin tissues), vitamin A & K, omega 3 fatty acids (adds glamor), amino acids and folate present in the broccoli. They all help to take very good care of your skin and leave it glowing, healthy, and radiant. Furthermore, glucoraphanin, one of the phytonutrients found in significant amounts in broccoli, has been connected with reversing the negative effects of sun exposure, so you can turn back the clock on your skin by eating plenty of this beneficial green veggie!

This is the Rice “Clear Skin” mask.  Rice water is rich in beauty nutrients that make both your hair and skin look fantastic. It is also rich with minerals highly beneficial to your overall skins health. 🍚 This will give you clear & glowing skin!

Another favorite of mine, seaweed masks!!! This is a Seaweed “Skin Purifying” mask. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it can be eaten or applied directly to the skin as a strengthening agent and exfoliant!   Seaweed’s natural, anti-inflammatory compounds can have a positive effect on acne as well.

Lastly, we have the Makgeolli “Skin Purifying” mask. Makgeolli is a slightly sweet alcoholic beverage native to Korea. It is made from rice or wheat mixed with nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter. How would that help skin you say? It is full of amino acids and vitamin B, which firm and brighten skin! 😄

Alrighty, well I hope you enjoyed this babes! If you ever want to try out Tony Moly, now you atleast know what masks may be right for your skin type. 👍🏼😘 Leave thoughts & comments! Keep tuned for lots more posts- new brand reviews, look & smell good enough to eat bath products, tutorials & a new waist training series I will be starting! 😍 Xoxo

Ipsy Glam Bag Review 2016! 💖

Hi dolls! I missed you! I haven’t talked to you sweeties in a while. I am so sorry I have neglected my blogging, just started a second job and i’m working 40 + hours a week now and I just haven’t had time to come on here and type my fingers off.. 😥 I truly apologize girls, and I am going to seriously get back onto my precious beauty blog and bring you guys more stuff to read and tutorials to try, new brands to fall in love with, all of that great beautiful stuff! 👄 I really hope you all understand and will keep looking into my blog every once and while to check for new posts! Today, I recieved my Ipsy Feb 2016 glambag. So it was a perfect way to motivate me to sit my butt down and blog.

Let’s get started!

The first two items I want to review with you beauties is the SMASHBOX photo finish primer oil & a gorgeous naked cosmetics mica loose pigment shadow in “Sierra Nevada” that I recieved.

The mineral eyeshadow from naked cosmetics has a beautiful shimmer and velvety feel to it. It is super easy to apply and shows up nice and pigmented on the first swipe. It is full of beautiful sparkels & shine that do not show up truly in the picture above.. But this is a very dreamy, earth tone, light catching mocha brown shade. I am in love. Perfect for everyday glam. 💕

As for the SMASHBOX photo finish primer oil, this is pretty much a product based soley for dry skin. I have really healthy normal skin that is dewy- just mildly moist but not dry whatsoever, so unfortunately I can’t use this nice product. I can tell by the crazy slick & typical oily consistency that it wont sit well with my skin, so I am not even gonna risk it. Other women who have dry skin in need of some moisture; this product claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness, increase moisture in 4 weeks, and creates an ideal canvas for applying makeup as well. So this just might work perfectly for you! 😁

Next up, I was sent a mini Vintage by Jessica Liebeskind lipgloss in the shade “Pink Sequin,” and a pink Luxie flat definer shadow brush.

The gloss: 

•  Smells cheap
• Tastes strange
• Gritty texture

Other than these unwanted traits, it’s a gorgeous pretty light pink champagne color. It’s a shame I wont be using it becuase of it’s noticable cheap quality and scent.

The brush:

• Gorgeous pink handle
• Very precise flat tip
• No loose hairs at all

This seems to be a really great quality brush, always love recieving new ones to play with! 👍🏼💕 Thanks Ipsy!

The last product I was sent is this Perfectly Posh- Best Face Forever Pepermint, Grapefruit and Aloe Vera Exfoliating Face Mask. This mask seriously smells minty and incredibly refreshing, it has large exfoliating sugar grains that definitely gets the job done when it comes to shaving off all those lame dead skin cells revealing new, soft and vibrantly healthy appearing skin. I like the combonation of the pepermint and aloe vera, it makes for a very soothing combination and spa-like experience! 💆🏻 I am giving this face wash product a chance, even though these normally turn me off.

Thanks for reading babes, missed you all so much! 😘 Leave me some comments and thoughts. I really hope to hear from some of you. Untill next time ladies! 💋

Take Your SKINCARE SERIOUSLY!!!

Hi beautiful girls! Here to share with you all a wonderful age fighting product review this time! 😀 It is: Serious Skincare A Defiance Vitamin A Retinol Pads! (60 ct.)

These guys are absolutely magical and DO what they say that they’re supposed to do. Unlike many many many other skin care products out on the market today. Luckily, there’s always gonna be a gem mixed into the gravel of lies that companies in the Skin Care industry want us to believe, but more importantly BUY. These retinol pads are that shining gem.

These Vitamin A Infused, pre-soaked facial pads can be used day or night, or both! I use one on my face when i wake up after i use face wash, and one pad before bed after i cleanse my face also. These leave my skin feeling great and looking refreshed and healthy, like my skin just drank up all the nutrients. They also have a very faint scent, similar to a standard face wash. I don’t mind it at all it honestly just smells fresh & clean 🙂 I also have very sensitive skin and have had NO issues with using these. The ingredients seem very clean and don’t cause any problems, no sticky/oily residue left over once fully dry. The pads are large enough to treat your entire face & neck with just one! These are great and who wouldn’t want important key vitamins infused DIRECTLY into your skin??

So let’s discuss what these are going to achieve in the long run for our skin:

• Gently turns over dead skin cells that dull your overall appearance.
• Helps reveal fresh, glowing and healthy skin underneath.
• Regular daily use will keep your skin looking vibrant and youthful.

Sounds like that all would take a lot of work to achieve right? WRONG, with just the swipe of a pad across your face and neck area twice a day, this product will keep you feeling young and chase away dead cells from your beautiful skin!

How does retinol benefit skin?

It generally act’s as a skin hypnotist, it attaches to any and all skin cells and convinces them to behave as younger, healthier cells. It also serves as an antioxidant, which can prevent free radicals and increase collagen production. It also will reduce the appearance of wrinkles, strengthen aging skin, clear up skin & unclog pores.

❤

Serious Skincare is a highly recognized and a very “good at what they do” brand. This product alone has so much positive hype & reviews that i absolutely had to give a go myself! 🙂 Oh boy, and i’m sure glad i did! I have been using for a few weeks now and i have noticed a beautiful, natural, glowing result. I am all about tending to my skin’s every whim now, so i don’t have to worry so much about it later down the line, haha! But if you’re on the opposite end and need help with aging skin NOW, this will definitely benefit you too. Goes for about $40.00 USD for one 60 ct. jar. Buy one HERE!

Thanks for reading honeybees! ❤
