MASCARA MONDAY: Maybelline Lash Stiletto | #demo

Hi Everyone,

I know it's been a while but I'm back with another mascara review. :) I've used the Maybelline Lash Stiletto in the past and I recently bought it for a photoshoot and fell in love with it all over again! This mascara has been known to give great length but one thing people don't talk about is that it also gives definition and volume! 

The formula isn't thick so when I apply multiple coats it does not make my lashes clumpy and it keeps them separated. I did a review/demo of this mascara a few years ago on my YouTube channel that you can find in the link below.

Let me know in the comments if you've tried the Maybelline Lash Stiletto before and if you like it or not.

MASCARA MONDAY: Maybelline Full 'N Soft | #review

Hi All,

I've used the Maybelline Full 'N Soft mascara for years now. It's been my go to mascara for as long as I can remember. The name describes it perfectly. It makes my lashes supper full and soft at the same time. It's clump free and does not leave my lashes looking wet as it dries pretty matte.

However, I think that the company may have changed the formula recently because it's not as pigmented on the lashes (when applied) as it used to be. For the past year or so I find my self not reach for this mascara as much, for that reason. It is still a great mascara but I wish I didn't have to apply multiple coats to get the desired look.

I did a review of this mascara on my Youtube Channel (linked below) and I would appreciate it, if you can give it thumbs up if you liked it and it was helpful to you.

Thank you!! :)

FALSE LASHES FRIDAY: First Attempt | #FAIL

Hi All,

I attempted to apply false lashes for the first time and it was a big fail, in my opinion. I've had false lashes applied at the Mac Counter before, but it always seems easier when someone else puts them on for you. I will try to keep up with this series (false lashes friday), where I'll be trying different brands of false lashes on Fridays until I can master the art of applying false lashes. I had fun filming my experience and hope that I can keep up with this challenge. Please head over to my YouTube Channel to see how I failed at my first attempt. ;)

A Day in the Snow - Julian CA

Had such a nice day this past Wednesday in Julian. Didn't get to have their famous Apple Pie, but for sure did enjoy the peaceful scenery covered in pure, glistening snow!

Vaseline - Intensive Care Deep Moisture

So I come back again with another skin product. :) Vaseline Intensive Care been my go to moisturizer when I feel like my skin needs major rejuvenation. As rich as it feels on my skin, it does not clog my pores nor irritates my eyes. My supper dry skin loves this product to the moon and back as it does wonders for it.  ;)

Current Favorite Product - CeraVe

This product has been in my daily skincare routine for the past 3 weeks. It's a great everyday lotion for dry skin. It provides the perfect amount of moisture to my skin, without clogging my pores. I have extremely sensitive skin and this lotion does not irritate my skin at all, as it claims in the product description. A big thumbs up for that! 

Aside from being non-comedogenic, having hyaluronic acid as a main ingredient was the reason I was intrigued to use this product. It's main ingredients are ceramides and hyaluronic acid. These two ingredients work together to help hydrate and nourish the skin.

I use this lotion twice a day (morning and night). I specifically like that it has no scent and that my skin maintains its moisture even after I wash the lotion off. I like this product so much that I decided to dedicate a blog post to it. Here is where you can find this lotion. Please read more reviews before purchasing, as everyone's skin reacts differently when it comes to face products.  

Allure Beauty Box - May 2016

My May Allure Beauty Box came a little late but it was so worth the wait. We've always been told not to judge a book by its cover, but I totally did with this beauty box! As soon as I laid eyes on this red box I knew this was the subscription to keep!  

I became even more of a fan when I saw what was inside. It was the best combination of beauty and face products I would want to try. I specially loved the little booklet that came with the box, which includes a list and description of all the products that are in the beauty box.

Foreo Luna Play: The first thing that caught my eye was this little blue devise that looked foreign yet supper interesting. This is a golf-ball size, disposable facial-cleansing brush that is meant to last for 100 uses. It feels very soft and the best part about it is that since it's made of silicone, there is no need to worry about bacterial growth! 

Foreo Day & Night Cleanser: Based on what I read about these two products in the booklet and online, I learned that they were designed to complement the Luna devise. The day cleanser's main ingredients are mandarin and bergamot extracts, and apricot-seed oil. It has a citrusy scent and feels like a cream which transforms to foam when you massage it onto damp skin. The night cleanser's main ingredients are sweet-almond oil and coco-caprylate/carpate. It has a gel-like consistency and it has a very faint almond scent. Unfortunately since anything made of almonds breaks my skin out, I won't be able to try the night cleanser! 

Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara: This is a volumizing, lengthening, and curling mascara in an ultrablack shade. I am so excited about this mascara and can't wait to try it. I will do before and after photos once I try it.

Lauren B. Nail Polish in Santa Barbara Surf: This is a very pretty green-blue polish that is a perfect summer color. It retails for $18!! I have never owned a polish this expensive but can't wait to try it on my nails. ;)

Pixi Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle: This lipstick has a creamy consistency. The color is not exactly the "rose" color that we are familiar with as it has a trace of brown in it. Very natural and a perfect everyday lip color. It claims to have hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C and E to keep lips hydrated and plump. 

Equitance Brightening Serum + Spot Corrector: A dark-spot brightening serum that is supposed to minimize the appearance of spots caused by acne, hormonal changes, and sun exposure. I started using this serum about a week ago. I'm focusing on one acne spot specifically. Based on what I have read I should be seeing results in about 4 weeks. Once again I will be doing a before and after review on this. 

Cotz Flawless Complexion SPF 50: Last but not least is this noncomedogenic mineral sunscreen by Cotz.  It claims to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays without clogging pores!!!! Could it get any better than that?! ;) I've read very promising reviews on this product and I really hope that it won't break my skin out like all the other sunscreen's I've tried.
