Este`e Lauder All Day Lipstick Shade Cafe Latte



Este`e Lauder All Day Lipstick Shade Cafe Latte- This product is one of my favorite lipsticks that I own. I apologize that I don't have a swatch of it to show you, I just wanted to get this post up because its been so long, though I will get up a picture of a swatch of this as soon as possible! Back to the review! I'm not sure this actually lasts all day, though the color is amazing and will last me a fair amount of time. Because I don't have a swatch to show you it will be difficult explaining how gorgeous the color is but I will try my best. It looks like the color of a latte but has like little gold shimmers in it as well. Now in my opinion I'm not the person who can pull off a bright red lipstick and personally think I can only pull off a few colors, nude being one of them. This is darker than nude though, sort of in between brown and nude but it suits my skin tone very well and I am really enjoying using this. The only thing I wish could be better is the amount of moisture. When I put this on I always like to put on a thin layer of chap stick first so my lips aren't dry. For me this is really important because I feel like this lipstick does not moisturize my lips as much as I would like it to which is disappointing to me but the color is so gorgeous that I quickly get over it. So if you are more for color and don't care about moisture then I think you will love this lipstick but if moisture is a necessity for you then I reccomend you try another lipstick. I would like to add that I was only able to find this on Amazon and it is very expensive, especially for a lipstick and I can't remember what I purchased this for but here is the link anyway.
Where to buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Estee-Lauder-Double-Place-Lipstick/dp/B000 WIIMAU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1353908341&sr=8-2&keywords=estee+lauder+all+day+lipstick+cafe+latte

Burt's Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub Review


Burt’s Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub Review- I cannot rave more about this product. First I will start off that it smells absolutely amazing. It smells like really sweet cranberry and pomegranate and I love it! But what I love the most is how moisturized you are once you use it. I use it on my arms and legs in the shower and you just rub it in for about a minute then rinse it all off. It is in sugar form and it has little seeds in it which makes you realize what good quality it is. Once you rinse it off you can’t believe how soft and refreshed your skin feels. It literally feels silky smooth. I know this product is from Burt’s Bees and their products are a bit pricy but this is definitely worth it to me. If you are in need of a nice scrub I would recommend this to you. It is honestly the most moisturizing thing I have ever used on my body. I don’t know if there are other scents as well or if this is the only scent they make. I am pleased with the scent but if there are more I will be looking into those for my next sugar scrub purchase. Overall this is an amazing product that I have definitely gotten my money out of and I will probably be repurchasing this in the future.

Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Shade 021 “Sun Light” Review


Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Shade 021 “Sun Light” Review- There are so many expensive bronzers and skin finishes to purchase and I’m sure are amazing products, but when money is tight what do you buy instead? I would recommend this bronzer. I haven’t tried many other bronzers so I can’t say it’s better than all of the others out there, but I am really enjoying using this product. I have always used all my foundation and concealer items but it always felt like I was missing something and this was it. I can’t go without this now. It gives my face its color back, just puts the light back in my face and now it doesn’t feel like something is missing anymore. I put this mainly on my cheekbones but put a touch on the rest of my face too. Doing this it makes my cheekbones stand out, which they never have before. If you have never used a bronzer before then I recommend you try out this one. Why? Because this product firstly puts natural looking color into your face and is an excellent finish that leaves you looking flawless. Secondly, I paid around $3 for this product. That is so cheap and there is a lot in there and it is a great product! I am just very happy that I made this purchase and if you are thinking of using bronzer, then I suggest you use this. It is a very nice product and if you don’t like it you only paid $3 which is no big deal verses MAC’s skin finish for around $35. I’m sure this bronzer is not as good quality as MAC’s but remember how cheap this is, I would expect this to be an awful product but you easily get your money’s worth. Overall I am really enjoying this product and I am thinking of repurchasing this in the future.


Bain de Terre Blow Dry Smoothing Cream Review


Bain de Terre Blow Dry Smoothing Cream Review- I enjoy this product so far. I have only used it about 5 times, but I have been satisfied each time. You use this before blow drying your hair and it prevents your hair from breaking and makes it smoother as well. I have very thick hair that breaks very easily and it is so simple for me to get split ends so I have to take extra care of my hair to prevent those annoying split ends. Blow drying dries out your hair and isn’t the best if you are taking special care of your hair but if you are going to use heat anyways I recommend this product. Not only is it protecting your precious hair, it makes it very soft too. I always find myself running my fingers through my hair once I use this because of its softness. I also find it gives my hair that little special something too, that little extra push that it needs some days. If you blow dry your hair often then maybe this is the product for you but I don’t blow dry mine too often, and I don’t think I absolutely need this exact smoothing cream. I do believe this product was a bit pricy, I am sure there are lots of cheaper products similar to this one that I haven’t tried, so if you’re on a budget I am sure there is a good replacement for this product, but I also think that this product is going to last me absolutely ages! You only need a small amount and this bottle is 150 mL so I won’t be running out anytime soon. Like I said though I am sure there are lots of great cheaper replacements for this. Overall I really like the product but it isn’t a necessity for me and a bit pricy.

Cetaphil Oil Control Foaming Wash Review


Cetaphil Oil Control Foaming Wash Review- I love this product. I use this every day and I have combination to oily skin and this product evens it out. I have always had trouble finding the right product that gets along with my skin but I finally found the one! It evens out my skin but doesn’t get rid of all the oil on my face which is good because you need a bit of oil on your face or it would be very dry (which I would like to point out even if you have oily skin like me is SO important to use a moisturizer. Don’t think that it will just make your face even oiler because it won’t!) I would also like to point out that I am a teenager and I do get breakouts (who doesn’t) but Epiduo has made my skin so clear and I will do a blog post on that later but it has been my life-saver! But back to the Cetaphil! There are many products by this brand and I recommend them all! I also love the body wash and lotion. This is a very reliable brand and I trust their products. They have many other types of face wash but I chose the foaming kind only because it makes my face feel cleaner and I guess it just spreads on my face easier, I don’t really know how to explain it but I prefer this one, though they are all great. Another thing I like about this product is the price. Finding the right skin product can be very pricy which is always frustrating especially when it turns out you don’t even like the product. I believe I spent $8 but I can’t quite remember and will post a link below. All in all I highly recommend this face wash for everybody (unless we have different skin types then just make sure to pick the one specifically for your skin type) If you have been searching for “the perfect” face wash and have yet to be successful I suggest you give this one a try and if you don’t like it then it isn’t like you broke the bank purchasing this.
