Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Review!

Hi Everyone!

I recently stopped by my local Macy's to check out new products. I was approached by a makeup artist at the Bare Minerals counter and she recommended that I try the Complexion Rescue.
                                    

Complexion Rescue is a Tinted Moisturizer with sunscreen to guard your skin from sun exposure. This is perfect for me because I don't wear foundation everyday but I do like to have coverage for my
 blemishes.


                   


I picked up the color Chestnut 09. This tinted moisturizer is easy to use and blend in. You can build the coverage by applying with a brush. It lasts all day without retouching. I would recommend it for anyone who doesn't wear foundation daily but still wants to have coverage and protect your skin.

Available at Macys.com and counter $30

Lush Haul and Review!

Hi Everyone,

So I stopped by my local Lush Cosmetics store last weekend and picked up a few items. I was looking for some face product and a few bath and body products to add to my regimen. See the items I picked up below:
1. Ocean Salt 
2. Cosmetic Lad 
3. Rosy Cheeks 


1. Ocean Salt face and body scrub 
2. Cosmetic Lad face moisturizer 
3. Rosy Cheeks face mask

Ocean salt is a great exfoliator made from sea salt, lime juice, and avocado butter.
This scrub smells amazing and works very nicely. I use it to exfoliate my face once a week.
It is not too course on the skin and little goes a long way.  The avocado butter helps to leave the skin moisturized. 


Rosy Cheeks is a face mask made with calamine powder and rose clay. This mask calms any skin irritation and soothes the skin. It smells amazing and leave my skin glowing. 


 The cosmetic lad skin moisturizer is made with lavender, wheatgrass and aloe vera. This is a nice moisturizer for every day use. I smells amazing and a little goes a long way. 

 Lush is a all natural cosmetics store with amazing products.

All items available at Lush.com

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss Review!

Hi Everyone!

So I finally found the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Glosses at my local Macy's.  I was so happy to find these as they are only available at select Macy's stores and online. I picked up 2 pink shades Vintage and Metallic Rose.


Vintage at the top, Metallic Rose at the bottom


The packaging for these lip glosses stylish and shiny with a black top 

The applicator for these glosses is a flat doe foot applicator. This applicator picks up enough product for 1 swipe for each lip. 


(Swatch of Metallic Rose)
Metallic Rose is a beautiful medium pink shade with fine specks of silver glitter. 
This is a perfect everyday shade that looks good alone or over lipstick.

 (Swatch of Vintage Rose)

Vintage Rose is beautiful pink nude shade. This is a great shade for day or night. 
The pigmentation on this color is amazing. 


These lip glosses are great and they smell like a strawberry milk shake! 
I'm in love with these and can't wait to get more. 
They are available at Macy's and Macy's. com for $17

Bonita Colors Haul/Review!

Hi Dolls,

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I went to my local Rite Aid this weekend and discovered this new cosmetic line called Bonita Cosmetics . This is a really cute line and the prices are amazing!
The products that I picked up are the Velvet Lip Creams and the Nail Polishes. See Details Below:

The display for the Velvet Lip Creams 


I picked up the Lip Creams in Hot Damn! and Barbies Muse.
The formula for these lip creams are creamy and the color is very pigmented. 
These dry down to a matte finish. Unfortunately these did not work for me because I have very sensitive skin. These left my lips itching minuets after I applied these to my lips. The prices for these is $2.99.


Hot Damn! is a bright pink red color.


                                               The black and gold packaging feels expensive.

Barbie's Muse is a True Florescent Hot Pink this color very bright and vibrant.

Swatches of the Lip Creams ( Left to Right)  Hot Damn! and Barbie's Muse 

The Displays for the Nail Polishes are really cute.
The display for the nail polishes collection " Sweet Ever After" these are pastel colors.

The display for the nail polish collection " Wanna Get Away?" these are summer brights
 The Nail Polishes I picked up. 
(Left to Right)Sweet Cheeks, Once Upon a Time, Shark Bait, Sexy Me.
I fell in love the the formula of these polishes. You will need about three coats to bring out the true color. The quality on these is amazing for the price. Prices range from $1.29- $2.49.

These are available at Local Drug Stores and www. BonitaColors.com

XOXO,
