Welcome to my World of Beauty and Reviews!

I finally got my hands on the infamous INGLOT 10 Freedom System palette. I decided to play around with it today and came up with a look and I have to say these shadows are amazingly pigmented!

New Vanity Mirror!

It is incredibly bright and I think it came out Amazing!

Polish Hoarders Anonymous!

So the 1st step in any program is admitting we have a problem...

My 1st Mineral Eyeshadow Product

A palette made by Yours Truly!

Salma Hayek Nuance

Hello My lovely Bloggies has bin a little bit since my last post. I am finally in the comfort of my own home and can finally get back on track with my blogging. i have so many posts I need to do so stay tuned!

I recently had heard that CVS was having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free on all of the New Salma Hayek Nuance Collection. I had been Eye Balling this collection for a little bit since I had heard it was geared more towards Latina Women and Complexion Tones. I figured what Better Deal than Buy 1 Get 1 Free Right?

I had gone to 1 CVS and The ENTIRE Display was Empty nothing left . I went to another and to my amazement they had quite a few items still left. The main Item I had wanted to try was the Tinted Moisturizer and Concealer.

Meaning of Nuance:( I sure had no Clue what it meant to be Completely Honest)

A Subtle or Slight degree of difference, as in meaning, feeling, or tone: gradiation
Expression or appreciation of Subtle shades of Meaning, feeling , tone






Now not only does this line carry cosmetics , but has skincare, haircare, and body products.

I will say the pricing is a little on the pricey side for drugstore in my opinion. I think a lot is in the packaging and will show you what I mean in a bit. 






Front & Center 
Conealer & Brightener  $10.99

Light/Medium (Top)
Medium ( Bottom)


Concealer is in Lipstick Form and Brightener in a Brush Pot on the Bottom


Medium Concealer and Brightener

Concealer is Pretty Decent Heavy Duty
Brightener is OK in my Opinion


Light/Medium Concealer & Brightener

I went with the light also because in the Winter I get pretty Pale so will help with my dark circles also.


Tinted Moisturizer in Medium  $13.99




Note my Birthmark so it gives you an idea of Coverage



In my Honest Opinion not to thrilled with this Product. I mean I know its not a Foundation so wasn't looking for serious Coverage, but I still feel its a bit too sheer and a bit greasy for my face for some reason. 

Translucent Finishing Powder  $11.99

NOTE!!!!! This is more on the Darker side. It is True to Color meaning Leans definitely toward Medium to Darker Complexions! Im NC40 found this to be a tad darker for me.

Love this Packaging Mess Proof!






Flawless Coverage Mineral Foundation $13.99





Again a Little on the Darker side but I am able to work with it.

No Flash:


Flawless Mineral Cheek Trio $12.99

Looove These!
Left: Pink 290
Right: Spice 305






Color Vibrance Lipstick $9.99

Very Smooth and Creamy.
Buildable Color not too Overpowering in Color
Left: Terra Cotta 165
Right: Coral 135


Coral
Terra Cotta



Beautiful Blends Ey Quad in Smokey $8.49

Was shocked to see that this was cheaper than the foundations due to the unique packaging.





From the Eye Quad: Pearl Teal

From the Lip Quad: Mauve Berry



Overall I liked most of the products cosmetics wise. 

Likes:
  • Unique Packaging on all Items
  • Fragrance Free and Paraben Free
  • Items for more warmer tones
  • Cheek Trios are Great for Blush, Bronzer, and Highlighting
  • Eyeshadows unique packaging
Dislikes:
  • Pricing is a bit up there for Drugstore
  • Tinted Moisturizer was def a Miss for me :-(
  • Eye Brightener in Concealer doesn't do too much for me 
Would I purchase from this Line Again?
Yes but probably Lip and Cheek Products for the most part

Hope this was a helpful Review for all my gals that have been itching to try this line !

Let me know what you think!

August Birchbox

Hey bloggies so I received my August Birchbox. I thought this monthe was a little smaller as far as the products but none the less will definitely be using all the products.




The Cool Fix ( For Ingrown Hairs and Bumps after Shaving)
SmashBox Photo Finish Primer
Ouidad Heat and Humidity Gel
June Jacobs Papaya Purifying Enzyme Masque


I am mist excited to try the After shave gel . I  have sensitive skin and at times after shaving I get some irritation. I also have heard great things about OUIDAD products for Curly Heads like me. I have used the Smashbox before as a face primer and made me break out so I use it to mattify my lipstick !

XSRE Super Store

Hello My bloggies so I have been trying my best to find some time to get some posts done. It is a little challenging with our situation at the moment. We aren't in the comfort of our own home so I usually have to run back and forth to our place snap pics and then try to edit etc while I am taking care of my hubby.

Yesterday I was in some desperate need of Retail Therapy and have established I need to take even if its 20 mins to myself a day to maintain my composure under such high stress at the moment. I had heard through a few close friends and through some staff members of my Local Ulta that there was this amazing Accessory Store close by. Now they have only been open about 4 months at this location.They are directly next to one of my favorite stores called Chef Central. Now I have 2 reasons to stop in that direction!!

So my understanding that there are only few locations. A few in NY and one here in NJ in Paramus.

Upon Arrival:

I was so thrilled I snapped a pic on my phone and text it to hubby ha ha ha

Can we say HEAVEN!!!!

A Whole ELF Section!


Some of the Items I wanted form here were completely sold out. As expected its awesome!

Reminds me of Sephora a little there:





Flip Flops 3 for $5

They Carry Shoes Too!

Hair Accessories ( Sorry a bit blurry)

Hair Brush!







All in Color Categories OCD REJOICING!!!!




Lap Top bags , Wallets, Coin Purses etc


Hello Kitty Section!!!!



So Now Finally what I snatched up. Now before I begin prices are reasonable in my opinion. Not too cheap but not too expensive either pretty average. I spent in a pretty penny . Yes it is sooo easy to get carried away in this store and it adds up . I love each and every thing I bought!




Cards:


















Lap Top Case:


My new Hair Brush:

Comes with its own Organza Bag:





So there you have it dolls. This is definitely a store that I will be visiting more often. It has it all. Definitely a place t go with a few girlfriends and have fun. The store itself I believe was a Circuit City and this store now takes its place. So it gives you an idea of just how massive and big this store actually is!

I have a few more posts coming working with the time I am given now a days. Let me know what you guys think!
