NYC Sparkle Eye Dust (Review)



I gotten this from influenster in the Smokey Topaz, which is one of the original shades –  Smokey Topaz is a really lovely shade though – sort of a mauve taupe with a lovely shimmery (but not frosty!) finish.

Since this is a loose shadow, you could also use it wet, but it’s very pigmented dry.  I think it must have some type of binder in it, because it adheres to skin quite well without any base at all.  I tested it out on my eyes, and it applied well just over eye shadow primer.  There was some fallout during application, but none during the day.





Overall, I really liked the NYC Sparkle Eye Dust shadow – enough that I’m definitely going to go back for more! I found the packaging fairly convenient.  I did need to tap on to the back of my hand to apply, but the packaging prevented spills, which is great. The quality of the shadow is also very nice – pigmented, smooth and adheres well. A great, inexpensive choice!

Suave - Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil (Review)





This is the first time I have heard of this moroccan oil and I'm really glad I was giving a chance to try out this product. Iam always looking for the next best thing when it comes to hair care

It is "infused" with moroccan oil, so it's not pure argan oil, which is probably a good thing, since this product is lightweight and not heavy or greasy. There's also has coconut oil in it, which is also moisturizing. No funky or overpowering smell either. This smells amazinggggg!!!!!!!

I highly recommend this product it has completely transformed my damaged, brittle hair. I have tried almost all the products on the market to repair my, ranging from your drug store brand, all the way the expensive Moroccan oil which costs like $45 for a decent sized bottle. This product by far blows everything out of the water!!! After just one usage, this smoothed my hair, gave me great shine, and made my hair more voluminous. It also tames frizzies and conditions your ends. After styling (flat ironing, etc), I spray a small amount on my fingers and then dab it on my ends and anywhere else that seems frizzy. Since a little goes a long way and so my hair doesn't become too greasy and weighed down, I like applying it with my fingers rather than directly on my hair. Not only do I use it dry but it works wet as well
I use this twice a day sometimes -- first during styling, and then I dab a little on my ends only before I go to bed. It does not rub off on the pillow.
All in all, great lightweight oil that does what it says and I highly recommend it! I haven't used it long enough to know if it is actually "improving" my hair in the long run but I know that on days when I do use it, my hair looks better. Good value for price


PS  all the woman in my family use it and that why it looks like this LOL.  This is why I hind the bottle from them I keep tell them to get their own  

Olay Shine, Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser










I received this product in the mail and I've been using this for about a month now, only in the morning on bare skin. I have normal to combo skin in my t zone area with my cheeks and forehead having the most oil. This has a nice scent, but a bit strong at times when you are cleaning your face you smell the product so be careful at the nose area if  it get in there you will have the urge to sneeze LOL. Also the scent does linger for a bit on your skin after you are finish cleansing your face. I would say it stays on the skin for about 5 to 10 minutes.  It feels very cooling and smooth on the skin.  You only need a dime size drop for my face and neck area and even then it is sometimes too much a little goes a long way with this product. This kind of foams up and spreads nicely. I do feel a little bit of a residue on my skin after I rinse, but it's not a problem. I don't know if I believe this "controls oil" but I do think this doesn't ADD oil to the skin while cleansing, and it does not dry out my skin to the point I think I need to add any moisturizer.



Later in the day, after using this product, no makeup, no moisturizer, I see no difference in the look of my skin concerning the control of oil. So to me, this is just a cleanser.



This cleanser has not caused any break-outs on my skin or acne. I think it's a nice cleanser for the morning. It does remove makeup well like liquid or cream products like foundation or concealer. Not even eye shadow and mascara will do the job as you know these are harder to get off the skin. That’s why you should use another product to remove that off your face before you using the cleanser.  I probably won't repurchase this product it really did do nothing for me no wow factor. Sorry to say but I feel like this is another gimmicky product that claims to do all these things but to be honest I see no change in my skin. Don’t get me wrong it is a nice product but nothing that I have seen already.
