YSL VoxBox Unboxing and Review from Influenster!





YSL VoxBox Unboxing and Review from Influenster! 


**Check out my Unboxing Video above and LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my Channel**

I did receive these products complimentary for my unbiased opinion.

I have never tried or owned any luxury makeup so this was a real treat to get since I am not able to afford it at the moment.

YSL and Influenster send me 2 products that are new to YSL. One is full sized valued at $55 and the other is a great sample/travel size.

The first item is the full sized item and it is the Touche Eclat Blur Perfecter. This comes in a compact that is beautiful. It is gold and pink with the YSL logo on the front. It features a giant mirror inside, a leather puff and a velvet pouch to hold it all in. Talk about luxury! This product is nice because it can be used 3 different ways.
The first way is before applying your makeup. You take the puff and sweep the product over your entire face. This helps to diminish pores and shine and help makeup lay more smoothly. This product is also great because it transforms from a balm to a powder! Perfect for my oily skin. 


I have tried it this way a few times and it gives my skin that soft silicon feel that I like and a nice powder finish that decreases my unwanted shine.

The second way it can be used is to set your makeup. You take the puff and pat it on the areas that need it such as cheeks and forehead. You don't want to use the sweeping motion as this can wipe off and move your makeup.

I haven't used it in this way because I use it before makeup.

The final way it can be used is as an on the go touch up. Since it is in such a beautiful compact I can't wait to pull it out mid day to touch up! I just pat the product on my shiny areas which is usually my cheeks and the shine decreases and becomes soft and smooth.

I highly recommend this product if you can afford it. 

If you can't ELF makes a great dupe that I own called the Mattifying Balm. 


The next item was a sample of the Touche Eclat Blur Primer. This product is used before makeup application to prepare skin for foundation, minimize pores, smooth texture, even out skin tone, and add a glowy effect. 

This has tiny gold flecks in it that help the skin seem more radiant. I apply this all over my face before makeup and before the blur perfecter and pat it in with my fingers. 

I don't normally go for a glowy effect as I have oily skin but this product didn't make my skin any more oily throughout the day which was nice.

Other then that I didn't really notice anything spectacular. It worked like any other primer I have tried. I also don't understand how it can even skin tone if it is clear. 

I wouldn't recommend this product because of the price and because there are so many other primers on the market at a more inexpensive price range that do the exact same thing.

Dark Spot Corrector Review

Dark Spot Corrector Review




Since my wedding is approaching I wanted to start trying products to start diminishing my dark spots on my face. That is my biggest concern with m skin at the moment. My skin is clear but I do get hormonal break outs in the form of cystic acne. They then leave huge scars for months and nothing seems to help.

This cream is supposed to help diminish the spots and soften the skin.
I used this at night as it did not have SPF.

I have been using it for over a month and didn't notice any difference at all in my spots. I will continue to use to see if I see a difference.

Luxury Bath and Spa Pillow Review

Luxury Bath and Spa Pillow




I have been recently obsessed with taking baths on a weekly basis. I wanted to get a pillow that was sturdy as well as comfortable. 

This on is both of those things! It has a part for your back and an adjustable part for your neck and head.

It attaches to your bath tub with suction cups and doesn't move once it is attached. It is also made of a material that won't mildew which is also a plus!

The everyday bath becomes a luxurious spa escape as the Estilo bath and spa pillow cushions your head, neck and shoulders in ultimate comfort. No worries about slipping, either...it's held securely in place with 7 suction cups. 2-Section Design for Superior Support Unlike flat pillows, the Estilo bends around the edge of the tub, protecting both head and neck from hard surfaces and allowing for deep relaxation. The flexible hinge is adaptable to any tub shape including Roman tubs, air jet tubs and jacuzzis. Foam Fill for Solid Comfort The interior resilience and support have also been upgraded, with foam fill that performs like a real pillow, without having to be inflated or guarded against punctures like an air pillow. 7 Suction Cups (2 on the top section, 5 on the bottom section) You may have been disappointed with bath pillows that only have 2 or 3 suction cups, sliding out from under you just as you start to relax. That's why the Estilo has a full 7 suction cups, to make sure that it will stay in your perfect position throughout your bath experience. Simply wet them first before pressing them onto the tub to ensure a tight seal. Easy Maintenance Vinyl Cover The wipe-clean vinyl is chemical and odor resistant, and dries out faster than cloth covers to prevent mildew growth. As you rest on it, it will match your body temperature, creating a soft, warm nest for your head and shoulders. Light some scented candles, put on some soft music, pour in the bath salts, lie back...and enjoy!

It absorbs quickly and deeply.

June 2014 Ipsy Unbagging and Review!


June 2014 Ipsy Unbagging and Review!



***Don't forget to watch and LIKE the video above***

The theme for this month was Swim into Beauty. The bag was black and made out of scuba like material and the zipper was hot coral. It was one of the bigger bags we have gotten.


The first item I received was the IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil. I have never tried anything from this brand because it is a bit more expensive so I was really excited to try this out. This type of eyebrow pencil with the spooley on the back is my go to way to fill in my eyebrows. This is cool because it works for all hair colors. I am not sure if it is full sized but i is a great size! I really like using this and it gives me great natural color!!
You can get 20% and free shipping HERE with code ITDELIVERS.

The next item I received was a sample size of the Smashbox Photofinish primer. I use primer everyday so I really wanted to try this out. I have heard great things about this primer. Unfortunately I didn't really like it. I felt like it made my skin more oily and my makeup didn't last as long. I do normally use a mattifying primer so this might be good if you have normal to dry skin. 

Next I pulled out Sheet Mask Trios from Bio Republic Skincare. I love face masks and the fact that we got 3 different ones to try out is fantastic! Ipsy counted this as 1 item which was also great! I have tried out 2 of the three and they are amazing! They are easy to put on, stay on and leave my skin glowing and soft feeling!
You can get a $30 skin kit and free shipping HERE with code IPSYBIOREOUBLIC

Next was a mini Formula X nailpolish in the color Powersource. This is a neon coral color which is perfect for the summer time. I applied this on my fingers and toes and it went on with just 1 coat! It stayed on my fingers for about a week which is long for me. I definitely want to try out more colors from this line. 

The final item I got was a Trestique mini shadow crayon in the color Marimoto Petal Pink. This eye shadow crayon is perfect to wear everyday on its own or to use as a base under lighter shadow colors. I tried it without priming my eyes and it did crease so make sure you wear a primer with it. I love the form that it comes in and its great for travel or to throw in your bag!
You can get 15% off and free shipping HERE with code IPSYINSIDER15.

Overall this bag was amazing! I loved the variety of items like always!!

The Golden Standard! Natural Self Tanner

The Golden Standard! Natural Self Tanner




If you are into self tanning like I am then you know the struggle to find a self tanner that lasts as long as it can while giving you flawless none streaky color.

Well look no further! This self tanner from The Gold Standard is what you have been searching for!

I apply this after I have exfoliated my body in the shower. When I get out I have a mitt that I use but you can also use your hands. I apply it to one body part at a time making sure that it is fully rubbed in before moving on. I then sleep in it and rinse in the morning. 

The first time I used this I let it develop during the day instead of overnight and it did have a strong developing smell. If you have used self tanners you know what I mean. Now I just use it at night and I don't ever smell it at all. 

I wake up and my skin has such a nice flush of color for at least 5 days! It claims 10 but I never reach that mark because I also exfoliate again before 10 days. Once you apply this the first time you only need to reapply every other day. This isn't a problem for me because I already put lotion on my body after showers so this isn't an extra step for me.

The product is also extremely moisturizing and makes my skin so soft and supple. I love this and HIGHLY recommend!

    3D Fiber Lash Mascara by Mia Adora

    3D Fiber Lash Mascara by Mia Adora





    Fiber mascaras are all the rage at the moment. They are higher priced then most mascaras and the only drugstore one that I am aware of is from Physicians Formula. I have tried that one and hated it. Fiber mascaras are different from regular mascaras because they are 2 stepped and create a dramatic false lash effect. 

    This one came in a sturdy black satin lined box that held the Magnifying Gel and the fibers. The fibers are the things that create the volume and length. This is a time consuming process so make sure you make time if you are going to do it.

    First you have to apply the magnifying gel which is basically like regular mascara. Then while it is still wet you need to quickly apply the fibers then to seal it all apply the gel again and you are done. It says you can do this 2 or 3 more times but I just do one.

    It is so amazing! The fibers don't fall out all my cheeks like the Physician's Formula one and it stays all day. It also looks like false lashes!!
