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.

GOODY TANGLEFIX (REVIEW)

I want to start off saying that these product was sent to me from Influenster for review purpose only This will not effect  me in any way shape or form how I feel about this product. I will give my honest opinion how I feel and how the product performed in me.

I was very much surpised how well this brush perform so well with my hair. Well to start off I have thick damage hair. Not only that I had dye hair in the color light blond and you know how much that color can weaken someone hair. Oh did I also mention that I now have extensions as well. So over all not a good mix. Before I had gotten this product I was always scared every time i had to watch and do my hair for the simple fact that I had the extension and my hair was color I was scared that and kind of comb or brush would rip out my hair for sure. 

I have to admit I had my doubt using this product because like anything else. I thought this would be another gimmick product. Boy was I wrong this product had really change my life for the better I love it so much It changes how I wash my hair. I not scared anymore. It really detangels every section of my hair without pull my own hair and without damaging my hair extension which cost me me alot of money to get it insulted. 

Pros
-Detangels and is very gentle to the hair  
-Can be used dry or wet 
-Fit in the palm or your hand
-Price


Cons
-Sorry but I dont have one 


Verdict

Never again will I go back to my old ways of doing my hair.I can never see my self without this product I even brought a back up to keep in my bag. This little product is good using it dry of wet.I feel that it makes my hair feel full and tangle free. Go and out and buy it and see if for yourself  

This product can be found in 
CVS Rite Aid, Walgreen, Duane Reade and some Drug Stores and of course goody website which there will be a link below

Before and After

    

COVER GIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK REVIEW

 This is bright coral red

This is a dark gold

STUNNER (840) The red was less frosty than the gold, but still had shimmer

This is a medium pink

This a light pink

Vixen (820) Both colors were very frosty 

 This a chocolate brown 

This is dark gold 

Minx a dark gold (855) The gold was similar to that in Stunner. Brown was less frosty. Gold was very frosty

Three COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICKs were included as part of a BzzKit that I received for free. The colors in my BzzKit were 820 Vixen, 840 Stunner, and 855 Minx. I was not very impressed with this lipstick. It didn't apply smoothly at all. I tried applying it straight from the tube. It seemed a little lumpy. I tried exfoliating my lips and applying it again, but got similar results. When I applied it with a brush, the results were a little better, but I still cannot say that I liked the way it felt on my lips. Any imperfection on my lips seemed to be magnified. The lipstick also felt greasy, but didn't feel moisturizing. I thought it felt cheap, and the fragrance (chemically floral) of the product only added to the affect. I am makeup obsessed, and I am used to using products with quality. This product was certainly not, and reminded me of the products I used to use when I was a teenager and couldn't afford any better. It smudges very easily and, because of the bright color, the smudges are easily seen but NOT easily removed. The one positive was that COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK is long-wearing.

The cool affects that are featured in the ad are hard to recreate. They definitely cannot be done as the commercial suggests, by applying it from the tube and flipping it over to the other color. I tried to recreate the look using a brush and was more successful, but for looks where I want a multi-tonal lip, I would rather use another brand of lipstick and maybe even eyeshadow. The effects and the look of my lips would have been much smoother than if I used COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK. I would feel duped if I purchased this product with the intention of creating the effects by using it straight out of the tube.

The colors I tried were:

* 820 Vixen - both colors were cool pink shades, one medium pink and one light pink. Vixen was my favorite color out of the ones I tried. Both colors were very frosty.

* 840 Stunner - bright coral red and a dark gold. The red was less frosty than the gold, but still had shimmer. I think this is the color they feature in most of the ads.

* 855 Minx - chocolate brown and a dark gold. The gold was similar to that in Stunner. Brown was less frosty. Gold was very frosty.

In summary, these products will probably end up in the trash. This in itself is saying a lot because I don't like throwing makeup away. The texture of the product is rough and greasy without being moisturizing. The frostiness emphasizes any flaws and flakiness that may be on the lips. The cool effects shown on the commercials are impossible to create without having a lip brush. If I had to use one word to describe COVERGIRL BLASTFLIPSTICK, it would be cheap.

Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue (Review)

I want to start off saying that these product was sent to me from Influenster for review purpose only .This will not effect  me in any way shape or form how I feel about this product. I will give my honest opinion how I feel and how the product performed in me.

This product claims

- Works to relieve dry scalp and dandruff

- Helps to repair damaged hair

Formulated with a blend of rich conditioners, our Damage Rescue collection nourishes damaged hair and relives dry scalp by locking in the moisture and helping restore and maintain barrier. Plus, the advance formula improves hair and scalp health , while at the same time leaving hair strong against damage. 

Story about my hair:

I have color treated hair and because of that my scalp is really dry. Also my hair is really damage from all the heat that I use on my hair. My hair is normally thick but lately my hair has been thinning out to the point that I feel that my hair is falling out. Which is a scary thing even thou I have stop coloring my hair so offend. I still feel no matter what I do to try to take care of my hair like less coloring less heat and add more nourishing products to restore my hair nothing has been helping until now. 

Experience with the Conditioner:

This conditioner you can say is not all the special when it comes to consumers with no dry scalp and dandruff problem but in case you do have them It promise is actually kept and the product actually does not let dandruff come because after using conditioners usually people have a few complains when it comes to having a dry scalp and which is having dandruff as most conditioners moisturize and that in turn doesn’t help in the dandruff to go away but it continues to stay or even grow in certain cases.

But this product is specially designed to let those people have dandruff and want soft hair, works amazing well from the first wash. It nourishes the roots and in-case there is any contact with the scalp or not it does not have an issue because the product is designed in that way. Although the bottles design is a bit uncomfortable but the product works great on people who have thick hair in particular and it also carries a good constancy. 

It also comes in a small standard head and shoulders bottle design but the quantity for the price seems a bit less. The softness effect is also not long lived so just in case after shampooing you forget to condition or are in a hurry it will be bad as the hair will lose the moisture they got.

It is supposed to be used like an normal conditioner but unlike other conditioners designed for making hair soft this one is easier to wash off and does not stick on which I guess should be considered a good thing if you do not want dandruff.

Experience with the Shampoo:

I have notice that when I use the shampoo it does feel a little drying from root to tip after I remove the product out of my hair but I do have to admit the my scalp feels really clean and leave some kind of tingling feeling in my scalp but that does not last very long. Don't even think about forgetting to add your conditioner to your hair even if you did forget your hair will not . You will see a big differences in your hair without it. Like I said you hair is very dry and stiff to the point you cant even comb threw it at all. Don't even attempt to do so because that will happen is you will rip out your own hair and that is something that you don't want.   

 Pros

-Shows Results after 3 washes

-Products claims are fulfilled.

-Gives a shine.

-Peach scent not over powering like the normal line that we are use to (medicated) which sometimes is bother some. 

Cons

-Less quantity.

-Bottles design (wish there was a pump)

-Doesn’t lock softness in for long.

Verdict

For a product offering so much in a standard price I believe it gives in its fullest and gives full value for money. I would recommend this to all those as well who do not have any dandruff issue and just simply suffer from having brittle hair. This product will make a difference. But if you do not have any sort of dandruff related issues this product is really not all that good for you and you may want to continue looking for something that is made for your hair needs. 

FOREVER RED FROM BATH AND BODY

I was chosen to participate in testing and received this from Influenster in their Cosmo VoxBox. I was so lucky to have gotten this scent. I saw this product a while back but I was unsure if this was a scent that I would like. I’m glad that I was able to test it out. I love this scent so much. I've been using it quite a bit these past couple weeks. I spray it everywhere I go. I spritzed it all over. A lot of people around me like my co-worker and even patients say “You smell so good! What are you wearing?!” I proudly said, “Forever Red! It’s a new scent by Bath and Body works!” I was so excited.  I really love the complexity of this scent. Its so many different things rolled into one. I get sweet notes, musky notes and everything in between.  I think everyone will love it.

Bath & Body Works Forever Red is the brand's newest permanent Signature Collection scent. Bath & Body Works has really been promoting this scent.   Bath & Body Works sales associate told me that more money was spent developing and promoting Forever Red than on any other scent in the brand's history. Bath & Body Works calls Forever Red their "most luxurious fragrance ever" and describe it as a "pairing of the richest and rarest ingredients to create our most feminine and surprising fragrance collection yet! Forever Red is a passionate blend of pomegranate and red osmanthus with a sexy surprise of vanilla rum". This scent is currently available in nine products. All of the Forever Red products are significantly more expensive than the rest of the Signature Collection items but I was told by the sales associate that sales like "buy three get two free" will still be applicable. The full size Eau de Parfum retails for $44.50. All Bath &Body Works products are cruelty free and made in the USA.

Forever Red's mini Eau de Parfum comes in a really pretty bottle. All of Forever Red's packaging is very nice looking, much fancier looking than what you'd expect from Bath & Body Works, more like something you'd expect from Bath & Body Work's sister brand Victoria's Secret. This little perfume comes in a rectangular, translucent, red glass bottle topped by a square, plastic, red cap. The bottle is plain, only the name of the scent is on the front, written in red of course.  I really like the look of Forever Red's mini bottle, it's nice for just a purse size.

Top Notes: Fiery Pomegranate, Rare French Peach, Luminous Apple

Mid Notes: Red Peony, Night Marigold, Red Osmanthus

Dry Notes: Rich Vanilla Rum, Velvety Marshmallow, Oak Wood

The pomegranate and apple notes combine to give Forever Red a delicious juiciness. The scent is armed up by the rum and has a sweet confection quality to it stemming from the marshmallow. The sweetness isn't strong or overpowering; I actually think it's the softest aspect of Forever Red. I love how seamless the notes are, the fruit notes mesh so well with the sweet alcoholic notes, sitting atop a soft but rich woody base. Bath & Body Works really put together a great scent. I've really fallen in love with Forever Red.

The sales associate I talked to told me that this little bottle of Forever Red is an Eau de Parfum, meaning that it contains a high concentration of fragrance oils resulting in longer wear. Um..well, it lasts longer than the reformulated Fine Fragrance Mist which struggle to last an hour on me. I get about two hours of wear from Forever Red which is pretty poor especially for the price. Maybe it's just me, but I get good wear from other, non-Bath & Body Works scents, so it's probably the formula. I'm really disappointed by how often I need to re spritz.

Overall, apart from the short wear time, I love Bath & Body Works Forever Red is one of my all-time favorite scents. I think Bath & Body Works really made a great new scent that isn't too similar to their other offerings. I hope to buy one or two more mini Eau de Parfums. I definitely recommend trying out this great new scent
