When I got this in the mail from Ifabbo, I thought without trying it out that its so thin I couldn't expect much. I honestly couldn't see how it could work like I had heard it worked. Recently I have been experiencing breakouts (again) and using stuff to stock the breakouts has caused my skin to dry up. So when started using this I, like I said wasn't expecting to notice a difference. I love Dermalogica and everything I have tried from samples to buying I have loved. This formula is just like water, and you have to be careful when applying it will roll right your hands. I have started mixing it with my night time face cream, so I don't lose any of it. The night time cream I am talking about is not one I am reviewing or something new I am trying out it is just one I have used for the past year and honestly trying to use up. So I know how my skin reacts to it which is not at all, so I thought adding this booster to it might help.
It has just been a few weeks after receiving this and I have mixed reviews. I have oily combination skin normally, it just currently happens to be dry. I am not sure if you have chronic dry skin or you are more on the dry side that it will help you like it has helped me. Again, because my skin is naturally on the oily side this may have worked with the serum to help my dry skin heal right up. However, it did work great for me, and my dry patches are gone.My skin feels great, and it is very smooth.
I think if you have oily to combo skin, and don't have sensitive skin this will work for you. Because it does make your skin a lot more moisturized. I am very sensitive with skincare products and thinking about acne gives me acne hehe. I hope this review helped you!

Hydrating CC Cream
transforms and enhances your complexion in an incredibly light, smooth
formula. This foundation simultaneously fights aging, retains moisture,
and covers and treats blemishes with a non-oily, perfectly radiant
finish.
Key Benefits:
- Protects: SPF 20 protects the skin, while Hydra-Extend technology provides moisture for up to 72 hours.
- Perfects: Enjoy natural looking coverage while micro-encapsulated pigments perfects and fade dark spots and acne scarring.
- Corrects: Anti-aging and collagen building ingredients help minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
- Hydrates: Hydra-Extend technology provides up to 72 hours of continuous hydration.
- Conceals: Micro encapsulated pigments deliver a fresh dose of color that adapts to your own skin tone, creating the most natural looking coverage.
- Smoothes: Skin nourishing ingredients help to correct and maintain youthful complexion.
I truly enjoy that it has a SPF in it, so I do not have to apply anything additional if I do not want too. It did provide great moisture to my skin, although the shade was too dark for me I was able to wear it around the house to get an idea of how it would work for me. It went on nicely without caking, and it did have a light-medium coverage. I am not a light-medium coverage girl because of skin issues I feel more comfortable with medium to full. I do think this worked nicely however, and I can imagine that if you had fairly good skin it would be enough coverage. I also enjoy that it has anti aging products in it to maintain a youthful complexion, getting closer to 21 everyday :)
My only real complaint is that it says it will adapt to be your perfect shade. You can see the shade it was on my hand, and it was just a bit too dark for me. I am usually the lightest shade in everything, but if I dare to step out of my dungeon and see the light this will be a perfect match. As a makeup artist, it is frustrating that if I was to fall in love with this product the shade range is only 3 colors. I would want to be able to use this on all of my clients, and with 3 light shades it won't happen. Hopefully they are working on expanding their shade range.

What they say:
A gentle purifying foam that effectively lifts away impurities while protecting skin's vital moisture. Refines skin texture to uncover beautiful clarity.
This reformulated skincare essential purifies the complexion and promotes a look of inner radiance. A dose of micro white powder helps remove dead surface cells to boost clarity and luminosity.
What I say:
A lot of brands have a line that claims to help with brightening of the skin and helping get rid of old scars. However, this is different Shiseido has really knocked it out of the park with this product. I use it after removing my makeup to cleanse my face. It leaves my skin feeling clean, but not tight and it helps remove any excess products left on my skin. It is gentle and does not break me out, and it really has helped my skin get rid of all the dark spots from my ongoing battle with acne.I am lucky enough to try out a lot of products, but this is one that I always go back to and add to my routine.

Ocean Bound (the blue ones obviously) and Ain't that Sweet?
One swatch no primer, this stuff does not budge.
What they say:
This smooth gel formula glides on perfectly. Use it as a long-lasting
eyeshadow or eyeliner! Enriched with Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate
the delicate eye area.
What I say:
You know I have a huge crush on all things ELF, if you have been following my blog for awhile then you have seen lots of ELF products raved about. This is going to be another love post, I am so amazed by the staying power of these smudge pots for $2.00. I cannot attest to the hydrating of my delicate eye area, I have not noticed that. I have been wearing the Ocean Bound by itself, with a primer and with a shadow over the top of it. I love it, it stays all day and I have just been using it as my go to.It goes on smooth,blends nicely with a brush and stays put!
My eyelids are a little oilier than most, so it is hard for me to find stuff that stays for at least 4-5 hours.
I personally find that they stay better on me than the maybelline color tattoos. Those have been hit or miss with me some are great and others came off and had no lasting power. I think next time you place an order on eyeslipsface.com you should pick these up for $2.00 each.
Have you tried them? What do you think?
These were paid for with my own $$$ and this is my honest opinion!
This product can be found at Ulta and anywhere Olay is sold for $28.99
What they say:
- Distinctive dual-swirl formula designed with a gel to hydrate and a cream to instantly reduce the appearance of dark circles
- Rapidly penetrates skin surface revealing smoother, more radiant under eye area while evening skin tone over time
- 1st use: Instantly reduces the appearance of dry, dull skin for a healthy-looking, youthful luminosity
- 5 days: Skin's surface around the eye is regenerated revealing smoother, more even texture
- 8 weeks: Discoloration is visibly diminished helping to even skin tone
What I say:
From the first time I used this under my eyes I was impressed with how smooth they felt. The next morning after applying (I do it twice a day), I put on my makeup and everything seemed to just glide on. Getting on up there in my old age (haha) I am always concerned with products that make my eyes look dry or like I have wrinkles. This is really helping out with that, it helps everything go on without breaking me out. You know I have sensitive skin, so everything aggravates it. This has done a great job, without the worries of will I have a new break out after using this.
It has been 5 weeks with me using this on a consistent basis, and I will admit I really believe this is helping with my dark circles. I don't know what it is, but I do not "have" to conceal anymore my foundation does the job. I am excited to see where I am in 8 weeks, if I feel like this is already helping.So far everything they claim has been true, and I think it is a great product.
Tell me have you used it? What do you think about it?

It was a cold snow day here in TN so I thought I would film a quick haul. However, I apparently thought it was best that I took the dogs for a walk,and clean the house before filming so I was a hot mess... heh
Have an amazing day!
LA Colors Haute Palette-$3.99 at K-mart or drugstore.com
Urban Decay Palette $49 at Urbandecay.com
All the Urban Decay Electric Palette photos were taken from Beflossy.com! Leigh was kind enough to let me use them for this review comparison since I do not own the electric palette myself. Please go check out out her amazing review!
Whoa that was picture heavy! I just wanted to show you how great this LA Colors palette is! I picked it up yesterday at K-mart for $3.99 and could not believe how beautiful the colors are.
I have seen a few dupes for this Urban Decay Electric Palette however, those have been individual shades not an entire palette.

Is it a dupe?
Of course it is a little chalkier that Urban Decay, but look at the finish how gorgeous! Some of the shades are off, the orange is more of a peach than a true orange. However, in the long run all the other colors are pretty close, and have great pigmentation. You can get a bright and beautiful eye look with this palette without a doubt. I wore them today and got lots of sweet compliments. If you are not willing or able to shell out $50 for an eye shadow palette this is a great alternative. I will probably buy the Electric Palette anyways because I am a collector of all things Urban Decay.
So you tell me will you be trying this palette out for yourself?

I love changing my hair, and that fact that I have not cut it or dyed it recently is a little shocking. I have been seeing a lot of fun hair pictures on Pinterest and wanted to share. Do these inspire you to try something new in 2014?

Textured Pony tails!
Bye bye pink hello lavender and turquoise hair!

A good braid, nothing says mermaid like a beachy braid.
I have been posting this pic of Julianne Hough everywhere! I am having a little bit of hair envy right now and I really just want to run out and buy bleach and then go get my hair cut. I had my hair like this just a few years ago and I am missing it :) The fact that she is absolutely gorgeous doesn't make it any easier to resist hehe. I tell myself I will look like her if I cut it heheh
Tell me what is your hair trend for 2014? Favorite style or cut?
