Fango Active Mud for Face and Body 17.6oz $72.50 or 7oz $37.00 here online.
Love the thick mud consistency!
I have large pores and acne but I still have very sensitive skin. So as usual I am always looking for something that might help just one of those issues. This Fango active mud is amazing. I love that it is for Face and Body. I have been guilty of using this on my chest,arms and back. I have an amazing sponge that came with my Borghese mud products that I use to rinse it all off.
So I have been using this mud once to twice a week without any issues or irritation. I use it more as a spot treatment on my face just to help dry up any breakouts throughout the week. I love the consistency of the mud as well, it is thick but you can use very little and it still gives you a nice layer over your skin. So although it is pricey, it really will go a long way. I must admit that it's almost fun to see how it tightens up your pores. When you start with the mask it's wet obviously, but when it dries you can see all your pores,and breakouts. When I wash it off I can see immediate results, my pores are just so much smaller. I also feel that immediately after washing this off, my skin is a little healthier looking. It has a nice glow to it and for someone with acne scars that says a lot.
I also received 2 other "mask" products from Borghese and I have reviews coming up very soon on the other 2. This product was the first one I started using and I wanted to share it with you in a stand a lone review. So, have you ever tried this? If it's wrong to love a mask, I don't want to be right :)

I started using this set back in January 2015, so I am ready to give you my full review. Keep Reading!
Let me say that I think it did help with my pores, but as far as wrinkles there was no change in my overall wrinkles. I think the next product is the stand alone product and completely changed my skincare regimen.
Acute Care for expression lines: $220 online here!
Lose the wrinkle. REDEFINE ACUTE CARE™ smooths wrinkles with proprietary
Liquid Cone Technology that melts line-defying peptides and hyaluronic
acid directly into the wrinkle for a more youthful appearance.
For me this product is hands down a miracle worker. I noticed a difference after just one use! My wrinkles around my eyes are almost completely gone. You can see subtle little lines, but nothing like the before picture you are going to see. There is retouching or photoshop both photos were taken in natural light. I love that wrinkle patches have what they refer to as "liquid cones" because you really can feel them working. I was nervous at first that something that feels a little spikey on your delicate undereye would do more harm than good. I am glad to say that you just apply the patch, don't rub it and let it do its work.
Here it is my 8 week before and after photo what do you think? I am pretty impressed!
I recieved this product to review from Ifabbo!

Wild Flower Collection from Mirabella
Pink Blossom Eye Lights Shadow-$28.00
Glory Cheeky Blush-$30.00
Colour Nourish Lipstick in Neutrality-$26.00
Can I just say "Holy Pigmentation", I mean I knew that I loved Mirabella from their last collection. These products are just making me ready for Spring and hot weather even more so, than I already am.
The shadow is this beautiful pink shade, that can be used as a shadow or highlight. I found myself taking a fan brush and brushing this onto my cheeks because it gives such a beautiful finish. Just like the blush you can't tell from the swatch but it is a pink with coral swirl. It has a nice velvety finish, and I used a fluffy blush brush to apply this on the apples of my cheeks. The lipstick is the perfect nude shade for just about anyone. I have to be careful with my nude lipsticks because I am so pale people begin to think I am a zombie with my too pale nude lips. This however, has a great pinkish nude finish that is very moisturizing. I love that it has 2 shades the outer core is a nude and the inside is pink so they make such a perfect shade every time.

There is no secret around my house that I adore LUSH. Anytime we visit a city that has a free standing LUSH store, we always have to go in. I love their products, they are amazing but I am also a sucker for adorable products. They have the prettiest and cutest goodies for every occasion and I think Easter hands down has the cutest stuff. Last year I reviewed their cute Easter goodies and you can find that review here on some of their other products.
Hoppity Poppity from Lush.com-
With a fresh and earthy fragrance of violet, lime and lavender, this
rabbit will bring your tub alive with the fragrant joys of springtime.
We've filled Hoppity Poppity with vibrant green popping candies too, so
it will crackle, pop and hop all over the tub as it fizzes.
My Review:
I have not tried this one out yet, but it's so cute I almost feel guilty busting it apart heh. However, it does smell amazing and I cannot wait to see the vibrant green popping candies in action.
Ultra Violet from Lush.com-
Beyond its shades of purple and violet, this giant Bubble Bar has a
gorgeous violet, ylang ylang and jasmine scent that's intoxicating yet
delicate.
My Review:
I am greedy with my Lush goodies, and I broke this baby into pieces and tossed one piece in every time I have taken a bath. I used this and I just felt so relaxed,my skin felt soft and it didn't leave my skin feeling like it had product on it or super dry. I know a lot of bath soaks will leave your skin feeling dry and that is not the case with Lush. I also enjoyed the water being a beautiful shade of purple it was calming with my lavender candles that were burning.
The Immaculate Eggception in Yellow from Lush.com-
Inside each giant fizzy egg is a secret surprise.Get a hold of your egg, line up the seam with the edge of a hard surface
and give it one good WHACK! Once it’s cracked, you can drop half the
shell in your tub for an energizing ylang ylang, grapefruit and vanilla
bath.
My Review:
Last year I got the pink one and I adored it. I had no doubts that this one would be amazing as well. I have also broke this one into a few pieces, and you will get at least 3 or 4 uses out of it. I can't tell you how amazing this smells, it also lingers on your skin when you get out of the bath. There is a fun surprise inside of it, but I would be a bad blogger if I ruined the surprise for you :) This is the one I just fell in love with, and will be sad to see it go. I will have to buy a few more online to get a back stock of it.

Brush with Destiny and Brush with Brilliance
As you can tell Brush with Destiny has a more peach undertone while Brush with Brilliance has a coral undertone. Both contain shimmer but Brush with Brilliance is more sparkly and glitter than Brush with Destiny. They do not have a fragrance, and have not irritated my sensitive skin.
They are a little powdery, but just tap your brush off before applying it to your face and you will get the perfect amount of product. I have been reaching for these ever since I picked them up just 2 weeks ago. They claim to be 10 hours, which I have not worn them for that period of time. I have however, worn them for 6 hours, with my oily skin and they faded a little but I still had blush on just not as pigmented as when the day began. I find the lasting power to be just as good as most of the high end blushes that cost a lot more than $4.99.
They are very hard to find, and I am happy to announce that over on my Instagram account I am giving away all THREE Spring 2015 Blushes from Wet and Wild.
Bought with my own money!
This is my honest review!
This look can be easily done with any green shadow,matte black and highlighter. I like to try out different brands, and mix my colors and brands. I had MAC pigments that would have worked but I love these little Hard Candy Pigments from Wal-Mart I think they are $5 for 2 and this one worked out perfectly for me. I have oily lids so I always prime, and use a base again just optional steps. It is pretty basic, you could have stopped with the green shadow but we all know that I wear glitter just because everyday heh. I use lash glue to hold on the glitter and my finger tip to push the glitter onto my lid to avoid fallout. I did my face makeup first, and then my lids which is not what I would suggest. I did leave concealer until last so I could clean up around my eyes.
I do want to point out that I did not edit these photos in any way. I just stepped out onto my patio and took these photos. You can see my wrinkles,my breakouts but the Charlotte Tilsbury Magic Cream really is magic. Everything I put on today after using it just looked better, and my skin is troubled at best. This isn't a review for the product, that will come very soon I just wanted to let you know even I was surprised how good my skin looked. It's not perfect but I don't post a lot of makeup looks on here because of it.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this post. If you want to see more makeup tutorials be sure to let me know! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Although I have used and loved everything I recieved. I did have two products that just stood out to me. First the pure pigment shadow, the color reminds me a lot of melon by MAC. It is very pigmented and it shifts shades so it makes it fun to play with and wear. It blends out so beautiful, and although it is a pigment there is no issue with it being grainy or hard to blend out. There wasn't a lot of fallout like a lot of pigments that aren't finely milled enough.
Second favorite has to be this mascara, it has a twistable base so it can amp up your product. I love that it can be used for those who love a natural look, or people like me who love the Va Va Voom lashes. I would love to see this in bright colors for the spring and summer it is great product. I did not have any issues with fall out, or causing my lashes to leave marks on my upper or lower lids because of a wet consistency to the mascara. I am a huge fan of this Mascara, and I have sensitive eyes so it's hard for me to find something that doesn't irritate them.
Now the lipstick is a nice consistency, it doesn't have an overwhelming scent. I did find that it wasn't drying on my lips. The shade is beautiful as well, I am more of a pink girl so that is why this wasn't my favorite product. Nothing wrong with the product itself, I just need all pink everything heh. I will say that with the gloss over it, is how I found myself wearing it. I loved that the gloss has a nice shimmer to it so it gave my lips a little depth. I placed the gloss right in the middle of my lips to give it the perfect pout.
I love this eye brush it is soft, and washed up nicely. I am happy to report that it is a quality brush without shedding after washing it. I can't wait to try out the other brushes, because this one worked so well for me.
I am so happy to share this amazing brand with you. Eddie Funkhouser is a makeup artist that I admire and have followed on Instagram for a very long time. I admire his work, and was honored for the opportunity to try out some of his new products.

A little background about who Rob Scheppy is, and why you have to go and buy this palette right now (after you read my review of course). Rob is the makeup artist for a family you may have heard of as The Kardashian/Jenner family. He is responsible for the beautiful makeup you have been seeing on Kim Kardasian from Paris fashion week with that hot blonde hair. If you don't follow him on Instagram you are seriously not wasting enough time living vicariously through someone else heh. I just think he is super talented and I was honored to be able to review this palette.
I love the shades in this palette, they are so wearable. I also love a palette that you can take from day to night. You know me, I love to just start out with the dark smoky eye right away. However, if you can't wear a smoky eye to the office or your job this is perfect for you also. I will have a tutorial coming up next week with this palette and I hope you will check back.
The shadows are smooth, and creamy I had no issue getting color payoff. The matte's are perfection, I start with a matte in my crease and then add a shimmer to the lid. I usually build my colors so I have 2 in the crease,and on the lid then I add shimmer (you will see with my tutorial). I originally used the palette a few times so I could give an honest review about it. I have found myself using it everyday because it just works together so easy. The colors compliment each other, there is no fuss, it is a palette you can use everyday and get different looks.

With the new 3d Capture Core by Kotex you can wear those pretty white pants without having any worries about the dreaded "time of the month". I know that I no longer have to worry about what I can or cannot wear because I was lucky enough to find out about and try the Kotex 3d Capture Core products last year.
I know it's hard to imagine being able to wear white pants worry free, that is why Kotex is offering a FREE sample to you. So go ahead and try it out for yourself, I know that after trying the new Kotex with 3D Capture Core I don't have to look anywhere else.
Be ready for Spring, and get ready to wear all the beautiful clothes you want without worry. It's tough to be a girl sometimes, and especially I remember being in elementary school having any accidents was my worst nightmare. So if you know anyone who might benefit from this free sample go ahead and sign up for it. I know they will appreciate it!

What they say about the Vanilla Face Powder:

My review:
I think the vanilla powder is my favorite because I do suffer from redness and I find that it does help minimize the appearance of my rosy cheeks. It also helps under my eyes, because I don't get a lot of sleep but it helps brighten up my eyes. I also notice that I can touch up as needed without getting a cakey or dry look to my face.This is something that I will have to purchase for my pro kit, I will love how it performs on clients.
Brighten up without shimmer with this brightening powder. Use it to set
make-up or the face to add brightness under the eyes or on cheeks, while
the hint of fresh, soft violet leaves a lingering scent.
My Review:
I just love the scent of this powder as they state it is very soft but you can smell it. This powder I have been using to brighten up my t-zone and it helps keep my makeup in place. I like that I don't get oily and again it works great like the vanilla powder not being cakey or drying. I also have sensitive skin, and I did not have any issues without breaking out or being sensitive to this product.

This is my honest review and opinion.
Kushyfoot offers a variety of products on their website, however I am here to tell you about the opaque tights and their knee highs. These are great for every woman however, it has been super cold so having these tights under my long skirts/dresses has help keep some heat in. I also enjoyed wearing the knee length with some black slacks when I went to do a makeup gig. I felt like my feet didn't hurt even wearing shoes for fashion instead of comfort.
Both products help smooth me out so my clothes just fit a little nicer. I honestly didn't know what to expect with their claim for massaging sole but I felt a difference.
Kushyfoot has a great deal right now for three pairs of their tights for just $20.97. The quality and comfort that these tights offer the price is amazing. I have never owned any products like this but now that I have I know I will be wanting to try more.
