Clarisonic Winter Hydration Set Review

Hey guys! How is everyone?






I am so excited because I finally bought a Clarisonic Mia 2. I have been wanting one for such a long time! When I saw this set I knew that I had to have it! It was actually a really good deal at $149 on www.sephora.com. On the website it says that it is limited edition so, I am not sure how long they are selling these for so, if you want one go and get one. 

Like I mentioned before, it was $149 which might seem like a lot of money but the Clarisonic by itself is the same price. Here you are getting the Clarisonic, the Glamglow hydration mask, Boscia gel cleanser, and the FAB (First Aid Beauty) ultra repair cream. I have extremely dry, sensitive skin and I this set has blown me away. The Glamglow mask is incredible but super expensive! After one use, my skin felt instantly more hydrated and softer. The Boscia cleanser is great as well. It doesn't make my skin itchy after using it. The ultra repair cream I have used before and I can't say enough good things about this product. Try it if you need a really good moisturizer! It makes your face so soft and takes away the dryness. The Clarisonic itself is a great product too. It has a low and normal speed, depending on what you want. There is something called the purging phase which means that you basically break out for a short period of time because the Clarisonic is getting deep into your skin which you are not used to from using your hands. This doesn't happen to everyone. That is what I was really afraid of when debating on purchasing the Clarisonic. So far I have used it for about 2 weeks now and I have just had a small zit here and there. Nothing major, which I am happy about. After cleansing my face with it, my face feels tight and clean. I never got that feeling when I used my hands to wash my face. Overall this an amazing set that Sephora is offering!

Recommend? For sure! I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone! If you aren't feeling it after you buy it, just return it to a Sephora store or www.sephora.com.   

~Hopefully this was helpful to you guys! Have a great day!~

Lorac Front of the Line Pro Eyeliner Review


Hey guys! What's up?


Here is another review! I got this eyeliner during Ulta's 21 days of beauty sale. I have been eyeing this eyeliner for awhile now but couldn't get myself to spend $23 on it. When I saw that Ulta was selling it for 1/2 price, $11.50, I knew that I needed to get it. First off, the formula of this eyeliner is perfect. Not too wet and not too dry. Normally for me, eyeliners need two coats because the first coat is too sheer. Well this one is nice and opaque with one coat. It has a brush tip applicator and it is stiff enough that it draws a straight line. Lasting power? It lasts a good 10-12 hours without smudging or transfer. Overall, this is my top eyeliner! I love it!

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara Review


How's it going guys? 

This is going to be a review on the Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara. 
I got this mascara during Ulta's 21 days of beauty sale. It was $10, regularly $20. 1/2 price is a great deal! Sorry I wasn't able to post this up in time! I had high hopes for this product because people all over YouTube said that it was really good. When I look for a good mascara it has to hold my curl, give me lots of length and volume, and it has to not be too clumpy. I normally purchase waterproof mascaras because they hold my curl much much better but for the sale they only had the normal kind. After giving my lashes a good curl, I applied this onto my lashes and unfortunately the curl dropped right away. It gave my lashes little length and volume but it wasn't too clumpy after two coats. However I did find out that I LOVE this mascara for my lower lashes. It makes them look super full and long. I have been looking for a good lower lash mascara. So overall this mascara wasn't a total waste but it didn't work for my top lashes.

Owl Nail Design


Hey, what's going on guys?

Products Used
  • CND Stickey Base Coat
  • China Glaze Secret Periwinkle
  • Revlon Gold Coin
  • Sally Hansen White On
  • Sephora by OPI Dear Diary
  • Rimmel London Hot Black To Go 
  • Milani Nail Art Yellow Design
  • CND Super Shiney Top Coat 
  • Medium Size Dotting Tool
  • Small Dotting Tool

I can't take credit for creating this design. It all goes to Jenny from MissJenFabulous on Youtube! I have mentioned her before but go check her out on Youtube if you haven't! She is amazing! 

Let's get right into how I made this cute little owl! First you need to paint all your nails two coats of Secret Periwinkle except for the ring finger and thumb. Those two fingers you will need to paint them two coats of Gold Coin. Let the gold completely dry and then take Dear Diary and paint two coats of that a little more than 1/2 way up the nail. Next take White On and your medium dotting tool to make two dots next to each other touching both the nude and gold for the eyes. Take Hot Black To Go and your small dotting tool and place two black dots right inside of the white ones for the owl's eyeballs. And then, use your small dotting tool again with the Yellow Design and place it below the eyes and drag downward just a little bit for the nose. Lastly, again take your small dotting tool and make some gold dots along the edge of the nail. There you have it, an adorable owl design! 

~Hope you like this design and try it out yourself!~

"Dotticure" Design


Hello guys! Nail tutorial time! 
Products Used
  • CND Stickey Base Coat 
  • OPI San Tan Tonio 
  • Sally Hansen White On
  • Sephora by OPI What Aura Gonna Wear
  • Sephora by OPI Paisley Attention to Me 
  • China Glaze For Audrey
  • CND Super Shiney Top Coat
  • Small Dotting Tool
  • Medium Dotting Tool 
I saw this design on Pinterest and fell in love with it! It is such a cool design that looks really complicated to do but it is really simple! 

Let's get started! First you need to paint your nails two thin layers of a nude/tan color. Wait for that to dry and then with a blue/green color and your medium dotting tool, make a dot either at the edge of your nail or in the corner below your cuticle. I just alternated between where I placed that dot on all my nails. After that step is complete, take your orange and make a dot going in a sideways "C" shape. Repeat the same thing with your pink and white. That is it! Super simple and easy to do!  


~Hope you try this out!~

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray Review


Hi guys! It's been a while, but I am back! 


I am so thrilled to be finally doing another review! This time it is on the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. This is the travel version and it retails for $14 at Ulta. The full size I believe is $30. 

Time to get onto the review! I think that for $14 it is a decent value. You get 1.0 fl oz and that is definitely enough to give it a good shot to make sure that you like it or not. I am in love with this product! My eye makeup usually smudges about two hours after I apply it, but with this on my makeup has lasted a whole 12 hours with absolutely zero smudging. Not even joking. I am so so impressed! What you do is you finish applying all of your makeup and then spray 1-2 spritzes onto your face and let it absorb into your skin. Easy as that! 

Recommend? For sure! If you are looking for something to help your makeup to stay on literally all day and night, go and try this product out!
