Crazy Beautiful Makeup & Lifestyle: high end

Balancing the microbiome is no longer just for gut health. A healthy microbiome that sits atop your skin helps keep your skin's barrier strong and helps improve the look of wrinkles and enlarged pores as well as balances excess oil. Never Say Die Beauty has been trying brand new MicroBiome Night Mask from City Beauty that encourages good skin bacteria.

Lola's Secret Beauty Blog is head over heels in love with MyChelle Refining Sugar Cleanser. It is worthy of holy grail status because it has a creamy lather, it gently exfoliates, thoroughly cleans, it never strips the skin, and it leaves it soft, smooth, supple and hydrated! Plus it has a luscious vanilla aroma that is utterly delectable.

Marcia and Lisa from Beauty Info Zone have been exploring the great waterless cosmetics from Pinch of Colour. See what they think of the Waterless Tint foundation/highlighter.

Deep Forest Clay-$88 online here!

Glow Philtre-$88 online here!
These masks are vegan and cruelty free!

Deep Forest Clay-Has been amazing this summer with my congested pores. I have been breaking out, and my pores are a major concern. I have been multi masking with both of these masks a few times a week. I place the Deep Forest Clay on my nose and cheek area where I need it the most. I have also spot treated with this mask, I don't suggest leaving it on longer than 20 minutes it is very strong. My skin looks and feels better and it works immediately you will see a difference.

Glow Philtre- I usually multi mask with this but I have used it a few times on its own. I have found that the more I age, the less glow my skin has. Someone who suffers with acne, acne scars, and being in her mid thirties I don't love my skin. I love, love, love this mask and the results it has given me. I am honest, and it wasn't immediate like the Deep Forest Clay. However, after using 3 times a week, I couldn't help but see that my skin was better in general.

I understand that these masks are a little pricey, but I am a product junkie and a maskaholic so I have bought masks from every price range. If something costs a little more but I have quicker results I am happy with that. Please do yourself a favor and try out Kypris. I would love to try more of their products, and will have to keep my eye out on which oils to buy next.

Have you tried Kypris before? Which products do you recommend?

PR Samples, thank you Kypris for these amazing goodies for review consideration!

- Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Iridescent Strobe Light

- Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light

- Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush

- Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure

I am a little late getting this beautiful product, but now that it is mine I knew I had to share it with you guys. I was so happy to find this under the tree Christmas morning, it's good to know Santa was listening!

The Ambient Lighting Powders (top row) are very subtle and beautiful. I already owned dim light in the full size. I use it on my older clientele who want a healthy glow, especially if they have dry skin. I also will use it on myself, but if you are looking for a highlight and you have dry skin I suggest these for you!

I am excited to use the bronzer, and these 2 new (to me) blush shades. I also got from Santa another Hourglass Blush. I will be featuring on the blog soon my go to full face with High End products. I obviously will be including this amazing palette.

Is it worth $80? I honestly can say, YASS! If you are a makeup lover or just a collector this will be a great addition to your collection. Hourglass never disappoints me in their products and their ability to perform.

Current Top Five Favorite High End Products

Dior Amber Lights was my go to forever, and I recently rediscovered it and have been using it non stop. It is a beautiful blush topper, gives such a nice glow. The Dior Tie Dye is a fun flush of color with only a subtle hint of shimmer if you focus on the outer rim where the shimmer is.

The Guerlain Abeille Royale is new to my collection but I have been using it everyday. I love how it makes my skin feel, I apply before I put on my makeup. I pay attention to my dry areas like under my eyes and forehead.

These 2 products couldn't be more different on the color spectrum. The Guerlain gives you a healthy flush of color a subtle hint of pink and bronze to your skin. This Marc Jacobs blush is a beautiful pink mauve and very pigmented and bright. I love them both for those reasons, if I just want a subtle hint of color or just add a little warmth to my face I use Guerlain.

Have you tried any of these beauties? What are your current fave high end goodies?

Guerlain Maxi Lash So Volume Mascara review

Guerlain Maxi Lash So Volume Mascara $30 at Sephora.com

What they say:
A mascara that provides outrageous volume and curl in an indecent black for the ultimate in sexy lashes.

I had never tried a Guerlain mascara before, so I was really excited to start with this one. I love the wand it is small, but stiff and I can really work it into the lashes. I have allergy eyes that are very sensitive so I never know how they will respond to a new eye product. This mascara is also scented with a fragrance, it is subtle but it is floral.

I am happy to report that my eyes didn't water, or have any bad reactions to this mascara. I am actually in love with it. I was so amazed by the volume it gave without being clumped together. They looked natural, but like I hit the eyelash lottery because of how full they were. It is also very pigmented and black which really helps accentuate the lashes.You can build it up to a very full lash, just be careful because it is not your average mascara you need a light hand.

If you are in the market for a new mascara, this one should be on your list! Plus, how can you pass on this vintage glam packaging?
