Milani Amore Mattallic Lip Creams




You probably know by now that liquid lipsticks ARE MY THING and have been for a long time. I'm truly obsessed with trying every different brand and their formula. If only I made more money!!! Haha. 

My lovely friend, Chrissy, sent me these three new liquid lipsticks from Milani called the Amore Mattallic Lip Creams. I had always wanted to try the formula and I was finally able to test it out. 


Comfortability:
This lipstick formula is crazy comfortable! I was extremely surprised at how comfortable it is. This is one of the most comfortable lipsticks I think I've ever worn.

Cost:
At $8.99, these are a pretty good price for being a drugstore product. Now only if I could find these in my local drugstore!

Scent:
Here is where the product went awry for me. The scent of this is extremely overpowering. Think smashing your face into buttercream frosting and have it stay on your lips for a long time. It lingers! I absolutely hate that. 

Wearability:
Yeah, these are pretty standard as far as wearability goes. You can get a solid 4-5 hours of wear time without touching up. But that means you cannot eat anything with oil - sorry bout dat.



Yeah! My overall thought is that these liquid lipsticks are pretty fantastic and I really want to buy more shades. Oh! I also need to try the original Amore Matte Lip Creams!

[Review] Ralph Lauren Tender Romance Perfume



I recently received this deluxe sample of the newest Ralph Lauren perfume, Tender Romance. I am really picky with perfumes and scents because so often my migraines get triggered and I have to completely step out of the room. Bath & Body Works? Too smelly. Cant do it, unfortunately. Sephora? Too many scents hit me at once and the headache beings. 

With this perfume, its so softly scented that it does not AT ALL cause me to have a headache - which is THE BEST. There are only a handful of perfumes I own because of this reason but I think I would definitely re-purchase Tender Romance because of the subtle floral scent that elevates my senses instead of disturbing them. 

I did receive this deluxe sample for free from Influenster for testing purposes. If you want to receive samples in the mail to test, make sure you sign up for Influenster. Its really cool and surprisingly simple to get a box in the mail like I did. I'll leave a link down below for you. :D

MAC Cosmetics Machmaster Shade Intelligence Compact

I know you guys understand my love of cushion foundations so when I realized that MAC Cosmetics recently came out with their own, I had to get my little paws on it.


The color I ended up choosing was 5.0. For reference, I wear NW25 in MAC so I thought it would be a good match. Though, 5.0 is most likely a little bit too dark for me. I don't know why I didn't pick a lighter shade. I must have not been thinking. LOL.


I havent yet tried this foundation. I will be reviewing on a YouTube video soon! Be on the look out. I will also post up a full review here on the blog once I get it done.

[Reviews] LUSH Herbalism Face Wash


How do you feel about a green facial cleanser? Do you suffer from skin troubles like acne or redness?
I'll let you in on a little secret. Herbalism Cleanser from Lush Cosmetics is your new best friend.

Green goodness
This gentle exfoliating cleanser is made from ground almonds, rice wine vinegar, rice bran, nettle, and rosemary. Seriously, its changed my skin. Its one of the main products I use every single day in my skincare routine. The rice bran helps mop up any additional oiliness on the skin and the chlorophyllin is rich in vitamins and minerals which helps balance out skins oil production.

Made by Jeffrey
The only place I have been able to purchase this lately is online - primarily because I don't live anywhere near an actual store. When ordering online the price is roughly $14 for the smallest size (3.5 oz)  and $34 for the larger (8.4 oz). I, myself, purchase the smaller size because I am not always able to drop $34 on a face wash at one time. The cool thing about Lush products is that they are all freshly made. For instance, my tub of Herbalism was made by Jeffrey on February 4th, 2016 and because it is a fresh made item, it expires on May 4th, 2016. That gives me about 3 months to use the face wash and trust me, because I use it every day, I always finish before the expiration date. LOL.

Herbalism in its natural state
In order to correctly and effectively use this product, you must take a little piece of the cleanser and place it in your palm. After creating a little paste by mixing in some lukewarm water, you apply it directly to your face. I like to use circular motions starting in the center of the face and then move outward. As this is a gentle exfoliator, you shouldn't feel any hard granules against your skin. 

Ready to cleanse the face
Once you have sufficiently exfoliated the skin, you simply need to splash some water on your face and then pat dry with a clean towel. After drying, go ahead and finish the rest of your skincare routine and you'll be all done. 

Overall, this is one of the best facial cleansers I've ever used and if you have oily skin or are prone to break outs, this may be a cleanser you need to try!



Oh and I forgot to mention! If you have 5 clean black Lush tubs with this symbol on it, you can return them to the store to receive a FREE fresh face mask!
