FOTD: Valentine Day using Mac #38 lashes

Revlon Creme Glosses review + Swatches

In my city there is a Revlon Sale almost every week at the flea market. Since I haven't really bought any makeup this year I decided to treat myself to a few goodies. After swatching for what seems like forever I found theses babies on my way out!

What first caught my eye was the pigmentation. I prayed when I swatched it that it wouldn't be sheer and washed out.. They weren't!

The next-generation in lip gloss with both full-coverage color and extreme gloss shine. Collagen complex and light reflecting particles give lips a fuller appearance. Vitamin E and collagen condition for ultra-soft lips. Unique flow-through brush offers smooth, even application. 

My girls on twitter told me that these glosses sell for $11.00+ at CVS. I just want to let you all know I got them for 4 for $10.00.

Pros:

• Pigmented
• Affordable (in my case)
• Several colors to choose from

Cons:

• You need to click slowly

OVERALL:
I would purchase again because of the price and pigmentation. In Canada it's very hard to get good quality makeup for under $3.00.

Which one is your favorite?

Rihanna headband look- Hot or Not?

Spring is right around the corner.. well if you look outside you may say other wise :| It's snowing!!

I forgot to do a winter beauty/fashion trend, so I'm researching what's hot for Spring/Summer. One trend which I am currently seeing a lot is head bands/head ties.

Some people may not know what I mean..so of course I had to use the gorgeous Rihanna as an example:

They may not be for everyone but all I can see are pros:

• Works for all hair lengths and types.
• Perfect for lazy hair days.
• They can add flair to an outfit.
• Affordable!

I had to highlight affordable because you can buy a scarf at most dollar stores for only a dollar!!

So ladies is the headband look hot?

Dove Shea Butter Cream Oil Body Wash Review + Giveaway

Right now winter is killing me softy! My hands, face, arms and elbows are heavily moisturized but my legs are dry :( For the past couple week I have been using the NEW Dove® Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ to retain moisture.

NEW Dove® Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ is specially designed to leave dry, dull skin feeling smooth and radiant. This body wash is a whipped blend of rich cream infused with shea butter which melts into dry, dull skin to leave it soft, smooth and radiant. The shea butter offers a deliciously enticing fragrance – blend of warm vanilla and brown sugar scents.

Consistency:
Reminds me of whipped butter and it melts into your skin without a greasy residue. I find that it doesn't lather up with a lot of bubbles..which doesn't bother me.

The NutriumMoisture™ technology found in this body wash combines skin nourishing and skin moisturizing ingredients to help skin retain its natural moisture by replenishing lipids lost during cleansing. This body wash builds on the Dove® heritage of mild cleansing and superior moisturization for healthy, beautiful skin. 

Product:

The bottle is huge at 710 mL so it will last a long time.

Smell:
The smell is amazing. I love sweet scents that this like linger in the shower.

Price:

$7.49 CDN

Overall:

This is a product that I would recommend because I'm seeing progress in my skin, it smells great and it's affordable.

Update: Growing out the bangs, Pinky Nude lips + Week long blog series :D

These pics were taken at 12 am! LOL.. I went to the salon today for some hair TLC. I got a deep steam treatment...which my hair need badly. 

This time I didn't cut my bangs..I think I'm going to grow them out.

I havent blogged since Wednesday! I apoligize but I wanted to gear up for my week long blog series which starts tomorrow :D

Yay!! These blog post will lead up to valentines day. Whether you celebrate it or not.. these post can just be an inspiration to try something new. I know someone is wondering what the hell I am talking about! You will just have to wait and see until tomorrow :)

I know someone will ask, my top was only $10 from H&M. I love it..reminds me of a vintage piece. In other words my grandma probably had one just like it LOL! I know you cant see the whole thing so I'll do an OOTD with it soon :)

The Pinky nude lip I'm wearing is the Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip shine. I got it at Dollar Tree for a dollar of course. I could kick myself for not buying a few back ups! The color is gorgeous and the price is RIGHT!
