Still loving my Eyeko Lash Alert Mascara!!!

I just shared my review of the Paul & Joe Lipliner Duo 05 Japanese Maple, but I wanted to take it a step further with a few tips that I learned over the years for people who want huge Goldie Hawn lips. In today’s terms, Kim Kardashian lips. I added some pictures to show how I achieve that look. After I use the amazing liner and lipstick I take a pink to white under eye contour pencil and I put it between my nose and where my lips bow. If I want a dressier look I take a shimmer gloss and put it only in the middle of my top and bottom lips then blot and it creates a shine that takes the eye to that area of the lips and makes them look bigger!! Let me know if it works for you!!

More Paul & Joe favorites! Case 048 is the owners cat Nounette and is adorable! I could have used the case to put my more recent lipstick purchase in and not bought case 002 but I love both! I like that you have the option to click in and out your color collection or buy more cases for them!

I was excited to have received two sizes of Paul & Joe primer #3 their most popular selling primer, thank you Beautytap! I decided that I would do full makeup with the primer I like the most and show off how you can mix fashion and make up when you shop with this brand, by wearing my Paul & Joe sister dress that I love love love because of the little peeking cat on the side. There are many things that make this brand special, we have been over how amazing the make up is, I will comment on my lipstick reviews next, but the ingredients, the primers, the clean feel and smell, the packaging, and now the clothing that ties it all together!!!!

Here is primer number 2 from the same three Paul & Joe samples I was gifted by Beauty tap. The other side of my face with the primer 2. I didn’t love this one because I felt like the color while subtle was a bit off for my skin tone. But that’s why we offer samples and I encourage trials like what I am showing you to help you decide which one you love because they all smell and feel amazing but color is important.

I put number one on half of my face and two on the other so this is the side with primer one and I really liked this one and how it gives contour in one step versus trying to use shading between powders. That is an art but this primer can be applied with your fingers, spreads easily, moisturizes and hides pores!

Here are what the adorable samples from Paul & Joe look like when you try the primers!! I put them in order on my face one being closest to my mouth. Remember this is before any blending and these go under foundation!

Christophe Robin volumizing paste shampoo results! This smells like fresh roses and while I mentioned I don’t normally need volumizing products, I love how this feels like a scrub and goes to a great lather similar to the sea salt shampoo. My hair felt bouncier after using !

Another winner from Christophe Robin! This hair mask rejuvenation treatment made my hair feel like I had a trim of all the damaged hair but I didn’t. I feel like the picture shows healthy looking hair but I’m in desperate need of a clean up. This product made my hair dry faster, a major benefit for someone in a hurry and it felt protected when I used the straightener but skipped my normal pre hear treatment. This is a really concentrated product that only takes a small amount and more time than conditioner is left in, but the pay off is worth it!!

Here are the results from my new favorite purifying/detoxifying sea salt scrub shampoo. This smells like heaven, lathers immediately when applied and fixes even my most awful hair day shown below! Tip: you don’t have to wait for your hair to get as bad as mine was when I saved it with this product targeted for oily scalp and color treated hair!!

Here are the results of my Eyeko Lash Alert wake up and go mascara trial. You can definitely tell a big difference but I found it somewhat clumpy even when I wiggled it on . It doesn’t smudge and you get literally the whole container of the mascara because of their innovative packaging, I think that it is still worth using for the long term effects it will give my eyelashes as I use it more!

I reviewed this product on the product page but here is what it looked like on, and I mentioned that I think I can do better with color choice, but it still blends in and is difficult to notice it’s not the perfect match, luckily I can sample different colors until I find my perfect shade!

Oops I did it again! I bought more Paul and Joe lip color! And despite the fact that I have an adorable case that I can switch the lipsticks in and out of, I wanted another one. They are just too fun. This is a hard plastic case (002) whereas my other one is a little smaller and has the owner’s cat Nounette on it (048). The lip color I chose is 308 and it’s a pretty peachy little number.

I just tried Missha Color Fix Eye Primer this week and it is now a staple in my routine. I had gotten lazy about eye primer but I’m so glad I bought this because it really does give your eyeshadow a boost in several ways! First the pigments are more defined, your eye makeup will last longer and without that crease even after hours of wear. I love the silky texture and the subtle shine. I have Trish McEvoy on both eyelids in the picture, and if you have ever tried her shadows they are very pigmented already, but I can tell in the picture that the color is richer on my right eyelid. You can see the slight shimmer on my hand so this is not for people who want a glitter almost cream eyeshadow [Read more]

I tried this True Moringa magic black soap facial cleanser recently and it smells amazing feels clean and has some exfoliating particles to it. I also love that this brand supports local farmers in Ghana where purchases help grow more Moringa trees. You can see on my hand how soft and less irritated it looks post wash. I will say for my oily skin, I use this more for my body now than face but it’s great for either because of the ingredients!

I love this bubbler by A’PIEU! It’s fun for all ages but it’s more than just fun, it makes any liquid cleanser into a foam!! I recommend this and sharing with your friends

If she isn’t the perfect image of beauty and strength, than I don’t know what is. She will be missed for all she did to empower women to know their worth and gain equality in the workplace at a time when women were not seen as valuable as their male counterparts.

I recently tried this mask and love it! I liked the idea of a peel off mask because I thought it might give a similar effect to a pore strip but for your whole face. It isn’t painful to peel off like those strips can be but it definitely gives you something to look at after and see the results on the mask! Innisfree is a perfect representation of K beauty. They strive to reduce carbon emissions, use eco friendly packaging and of course natural ingredients. Let me mention that if you want to be able to pull most of the mask off in one sweep (like the picture on the product page) you have to go thicker than you think. Also the product isn’t quite as dark as the picture but it is brown. Enjoy! [Read more]

I’ve been using COSRX patches for months now and I can’t tell you how great they are, you just have to try for yourself! I used to pick at my face, I know terrible!!! But these patches not only helped me kick that awful habit, but they shrink blemishes until they disappear. These specifically are so thin, no one can even tell you’re wearing them!! I’m a huge fan and I would be happy to answer any questions about them! Thanks:) 

I can’t wait to try this Chobs Aloe Vera Peeling Lotion!! Chobs is this weeks video demo and I would love for you to join me on zoom to learn more about the brand and I will give my opinion on this product specifically. Message me to get an invite to the demo!!
