Winners Bargin Haul- Urban Decay for 70 cents!?!?

I love Winners! Since I have alot of USA followers, so I'll give you a little background on winners! Its a mix of Marshalls and TJ Maxx :)

I think its the whole searching to find a good deal is exhilarating! LOL.
The first Item I saw was this nail polish set! I loved the colors but I couldn't possibly spent $7.00 on it since one was missing.

So I got it for $4.99 for the whole pack! After searching the brand "Goldie" online, I found out that they sell at Bath and Bodyworks for $9.00 each. That's a very good deal. Look at the colors close up.

The best thing I got was Urban Decay for 70 cents!!! Did you hear me under a dollar :) That is amazing since it's $14.00 on their website.



I also got OPI RapiDry Spray for $3.00. I found it online for about $20.00. This product has amazing claims:

Make your nails dry in rapid time with this OPI RapiDry Spray. Ensure that your nails are dry and won’t smear before you start using your hands again with this clever nail drying spray that dries your nails to perfection in minutes.

I got a pop beauty eye cake palette (Violet Eyes) for $2.00. I've never used the brand before but the colors are nice.

Lastly, Urban Decay deluxe eyeshadow in HEAT for $2.50.. another deal.

What do you think of the deals? Have you used any of the products?

Cover FX Blogger event (PIC HEAVY)

I had the chance to attend the first ever Cover fx blogger event!
I don't think I have ever told this story but the first brand I ever used in school was COVER FX!

First some background on CoverFX:

Since 1985, Lee Graff, a corrective makeup specialist at the CosMedic Clinic at a leading Canadian hospital, has worked with thousands of patients with various skin conditions. Together with Chemical Engineer Jenny Frankel, and leading Dermatologist Dr. Neil Shear, Lee began development of Cover FX.

The whole event was VERY educational and hands on! I was surprised that Lee Graff & Jenny Frankel attended. They told us their personal stories about the brand and how much it means to them. Also they answered EVERY single question we asked!

Melissa explaining the set up 

As a MUA I know that a flawless canvas is the best to work with. Since everyone skin has different needs Cover FX has 6 formula options!

• Cover FX 
• Natural FX
• Powder FX
• Mineral FX
• Skin Tint FX
• Concealer FX

The formula's I love are Cover FX because a little goes a LONG way & Skin Tint FX because it's light and water resistant :)

Another lovely blogger Joy!

Did you know Cover FX can also cover Tattoos!!

She had wings on both wrists..amazing

At the end of the event each girl walked out with "The Big Cover Starter Kit" + BritePrep FX, Mint Glaze lip primer &ClearPrep FX.
The kit includes:

• Cover FX trio
• Skinprep FX
• How to DVD
• Setting FX
• Foundation Brush #170

 

The colors I used: B0, B25 & B45

That #160 is my new love..lol

I'm sooo happy I had the opportunity to attend this event. As a woman of color I know it's super hard to find a foundation to suit my skin tone. I'd recommend CoverFX because it ranges from lighter to deep dark. No one is left out :)

Annabelle Smudgeliner Review

Annabelle Cosmetics is a Canadian makeup brand driven by its passion for colour and texture.

With their superior long-lasting formula and rich colour pay-off, Annabelle Smudgeliners are a must-have to add depth to any look! Let them glide to create a defined line, or blend gently with the built-in smudger tip to achieve a smoky, sultry look.

Even though Annabelle is a drugstore line, I think that it is VERY comparable to MAC.

The Smudgeliners come in 12 different colors. I got the opportunity to try three colors(Check out the swatches):

• Sea Green
• Electric Sapphire
• Ohmygoth!
  
  
  

I am honestly in love. I know these are called smudgeliners but they don't smudge unless you smudge them. The tips are creamy and don't tug or pull your eye when applying.

Since I wake up at 6:30 AM.. these liners are the easiest to apply.You can control the size of the tip. I either sharpen mine to a pointy tip for a thin line or use it regularly for a thicker line.

I do not recommend sharpening the pencils in a regular sharper. Get the Annabelle single sharper to sharpen the pencils because they sharpen smoothly :)
PLUS the cleaning stick helps ALOT!






On the other end of the pencil is a rubber smudger. I've had a bad experience with a previous smudger almost blinding me..haha. But this one was soft and makes a great smokey eye!


My favorite liner of them all is Ohmygoth! It's the best black to make brown eyes pop! I'll take a FOTD this week :)


Overall I would buy these for myself and my MUA kit!

Skin MD Natural™ review + Giveaway

The wonderful people at Skin MD provided me with a bottle of  Skin MD Natural™ to review + giveaway.

 Skin MD Natural™ shielding lotion that helps the skin restore its integrity and enhance its protective functions so that the skin is able to heal naturally and regain its youthful appearance. Skin MD Natural works by bonding with cells of the skin's outermost layer to form an invisible shield. This layer of protection prevents environmental irritants and pollutants from penetrating the skin, while locking in the skin's own natural oils and moisture, helping heal dry skin, leaving skin feeling silky and smooth.It is dermatologist recommended and hypo-allergenic. It is also fragrance, colorant and paraben free, so it is safe to use for the whole family.

Most of my  Skin MD Natural™ experiment was done on my Boyfriend. I didn't take a picture of his hands because that would be RUDE! LOL

Monday to Friday he works with trouble youth and kids, Weekends he's an A/V tech. In other words he washes his hands A LOT! So his hands aren't as soft as I would want them to be. We've been looking around for a perfect lotion that wouldn't evaporate easily & keep his hands moisturized.

I found out that  Skin MD Natural™ worked quite well for him. Since it's not a big bottle it's not embarrassing for him to carry it around with him. Also it doesn't leave a greasy residue behind when he's setting up the A/V equipment.

Mini Tip: I make sure he puts it on before he goes to bed, so he wakes up with soft hands :)

Giveaway Alert! 

Win a bottle of  Skin MD Natural™!

Perfect gift for yourself or your bf/gf!

To win tell me 

"Why do you need Skin MD?"

Rules:

• Must be a follower
• Must be a Canadian or USA resident
•  Giveaway ends February 24 @ midnight
