Summer Glow with Avon and Mark Beauty

Hello Dolls! 

It's a new week and you know what that means, new Beauty Blogpost. I have been wearing the heck out of pink blushers this whole winter season! Pink is just a color that I am comfortable with and it always looks good on my complexion. Well, summer is almost here so I am trying to update some of my makeup to include warmer toned products. So when I heard that my friend became an Avon representative I had to take a look around for some fun new products to try out!

She recommended the very popular and youthful Avon brand Mark.  Mark is an expertly edited beauty and fashion boutique. The Brand distinctive items are Magnetic, sassy, unexpected and fresh,  With this brand, Avon gives every young woman the opportunity to mix it up and make her own mark. Shopping mark means finding cutting-edge fashion, accessories and customizable color palettes, all inspired by the hottest runway looks of the season. Women who love beauty and fashion will love mark.  Their items are very good quality, cutting edge and very trendy, making them suitable for any age, skin type and complexion.  

My friend recommended me to try 2 products, first the Juice Gems lip glosses and second, the new Mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Creme Cubes in Coral Glow. Their original Touch & Glow cubes is Pink toned and it is insanely popular, but I thought I’d give the Coral version a try to coincide with my warm themed ideas.  For those of you that dont know, Mark. also makes, clothing, body & hair care, and jewelry…its really quite the spread!

Mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss:

As you may know about me by now, I'm NOT a lip gloss kind of girl.  I tend to lean more toward regular lipstics specially if they are matte.  However, I wanted to give this one and my friend a chance and try it out.  I chose the color Mango Tango, a sheer pearlescent peach. The gloss comes in a long squeeze tube with an angled plastic tip for application. It is fairly light pigmentation, but gives a super glossy shine to my lips and it smells just like peach! Yum! I  must say It is only slightly sticky, nothing too bad, and it lasts about 2 hours before I have to reapply. So plan on keeping this in your bag for touch-ups.

Mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Creme Cubes:

I love my blushes and anything in a cute packaging.  Although the blush comes int he regular Mark Compact the inside I love!  This palette is sooooo gorgeous and so interesting to look at! It has 9 raised shimmer cubes in shades of coral, bronze and gold. They say that the raised cubes also allow for individual application of a specific color or highlight. However, I found that once I run my brush over all of the shades to blend them together, the darker shades kind of smudge up the lighter ones. The color is fairly sheer, but you can build it up by doing another layer or by only using the bottom 6 shades. It blends easily and I think it gives a great glow without being overly shimmery.

Over all, I have to say Mark Products are very good and I was very please with them.  Have you try this brand yet?? Let me know your thoughts.

Happy Styling!!

The Savannah Experience: Nature's Best Kept Secret

Hey Dolls!!

 Today I want to talk to you about a new collaboration I'm working on with Savannah Hair Therapy.  

How many time have you wish for healthy, luscious, silky, shiny and smooth hair?? Well look no more.  I want to introduce you to this expert line call Savannah. The success of this line its nature’s best kept secret, better known as Shea Butter. When cracked open, the Shea Butter nut reveals butter rich in vitamins A, E and F, essential fatty acids, proteins and cinnamic acid. These natural properties is what provide intense moisture, promote cell renewal, increase scalp circulation and protect against harmful UV rays and free radical damage.

 Savannah Hair Therapy offers a complete range of hair care products with all natural Shea Butter that penetrates deep into the hair and scalp to moisturize, prevent breakage and smooth the texture and appearance of dry, coarse or chemically processed hair. Savannah Hair Therapy's ultra-rich Shea Butter products nourish the hair for a richer, shinier and healthier look and feel.

They have a very complete line with different products.  It doesn’t matter whether you have frizzy unmanageable hair, if its chemically treated or if you just want to give your hair a restart and a most needed boost the Savannah Hair Treatment line has something that will work for you.  

 I had a chance to try 3 of the line products and I must say I’m IN LOVE with them and their results.

The first one I tried is the Shea Butter POP Treatment which is made of 60% Natural Keratin and is a Moisture Repair treatment.  This unique treatment complex contained in a spray ampule rehabilitates and coats the hair shaft, creates a protective layer against climate damage and nourishes, restores and rejuvenates the hair's natural moisture which is compromised by chemical treatments.  After rinsing this product of your hair you simply go on to style it at usual.  You will instantly notice a smoother, silky and shiny hair that looks instantly restore and trust me when I say the results last as long as 4 weeks. 

  The second product I tried from this line is the Shea Butter Treatment Mask. This intense conditioning formula is produced from the Shea nut that leaves ultra-dry, coarse or unruly hair manageable, soft and strong against damage. Shea Butter contains high concentrations of vitamin A, E and F, amino acids and keratin, creating a unique complex that restores hair to its healthy state. The natural Keratin in this products delivers softness, flexibility and brilliant shine, while the amino acids assist in the production of proteins that soften, nourish and strengthen hair fibers.

Last but not least I got the chance to try the Shea Butter Treatment Oil.  This was applied to me after the shampoo and rinse process on to my damp hair and after that it was simply styled as usual.  The Shea Butter Treatment Oil is produced from Shea Butter nut, a natural source of keratin that coats the hair and imparts softness, flexibility and brilliant shine. A high concentration of exceptional ingredients including vitamins, silk proteins and amino acids penetrate the follicle, restoring damaged hair from root to tip. If you hair is greasy like mine, be calm and do not panic since this remarkable oil is easily absorbed and does not leave a greasy residue. Initial application will create brilliant shine and leave hair feeling soft and manageable. Continued use will nourish, hydrate, strengthen and return vitality to dry damaged hair.

I have very fine, brittle and delicate hair and I have to say this trio is the slam dunk of new hair products.  They are natural products which would help any type of hair.  It doesn’t matter if you think you have very healthy hair the truth is the air, pollution, hot tools and every day harshness constantly attacks and damages every strand of hair we have.  So take a look at this line and make them a part of your hair beauty routine.

Milani | Moisture Matte Lipstick!

Hi dolls!!! I've been MIA since I was taking my not so fun Bar Exam.  But now that thats done let s go back to talking fashion, beauty and all pretty stuff.  I recently bought of a couple of the Milani’s Moisture Matte Lipstick shades and I liked the formula so much that I decided to tell you all about it.  Im a fan of Milani Cosmetics.  They are affordable, easy to find, and great quality items.  

These new “moisture matte” lipsticks are infused with grape seed extract and they promise smear-proof wear and mega color that won’t budge. Milani also claims that this is a “matte that not only feels great (yes, you read that right – it’s actually comfy.)” I’m all about a comfy feeling matte, I mean who doesn't like that!!

I  own a few Milani lipsticks before this line, but never a matter formula before.  Also, I’ve heard they used to have a melon scent that a lot of people detested. So, if you are one of those ladies, you’ll be happy to know these don’t have that melon scent. Instead, they have a light vanilla scent that is pleasant but doesn’t linger too long.

The formula of these moisture mattes is pretty great. They are extremely pigmented and glide on very easily. They do give that matte finish, but they are still creamy enough where you can rub your lips together. It’s almost like a waxy chapstick feeling texture. They aren’t transfer proof but they will last you through a light meal and drinks without having to reapply.  Take a look below, I swatch them on the inside of my hand so you can see the color payoff from each one of these shades.

---

Matte Orchid:

Matte Orchid is a bold bright pink fuchsia shade. The intense colors last a long time, about 5-6 hrs on me and they leave a noticeable stain behind. When they were almost completely gone, the stain was clinging to some dry patches on my lips that I had to use makeup remover to get completely off.

Matte Naked: 

Matte Naked is a cool medium taupe. When I tried Matte Innocence it was too light for me, so I decided to try Naked since it was a few shades darker. It works very nice with my skin tone and doesn’t make me look like a zombie from TWD! This shade lasted about 4 hours on me.

Matte Confident:

Matte Confident is a striking cool toned brick red. You now I LOVE my reds and this is such a sexy red! I think it’s a great red for any skin tone even for fair skinned girls and would be great for date night because of it’s long lasting formula. I also got about 6 hrs of wear from this shade.

---

Like I said, the formula of these is very nice. My personal favorites are Orchid & Confident (obviously.) The lipsticks retail starting at $5.99 and you can find them at CVS and Walgreens. Also, Milani is a cruelty free brand which is ALWAYS a plus! 

What do you think of these Moisture Mattes? Have you tried any?

Oh Dear Lashes!!! Maybelline Lash Sensational

Hey Dolls!!!

New day = New Blogpost!!  I been so busy with work and school I barely had any time to write.  But I'm back now! I tried this new Mascara and felt the instant need to share it with you guys.  I’m usually some what picky when it comes to mascara. As long as it doesn’t flake onto my face or give me raccoon eyes, chances are i’ll probably like it, however I do like to have long and sensational lashes all the time regardless what the rest of my makeup looks like. I DO tend to prefer natural bristles over synthetic, but thats not a deal breaker. I currently have a few mascaras that I love, but they were getting on the old side ( any excuse to shop its a good excuse to me) so I decided it was time to search for something new.

While out shopping last week, I came across a display of new Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara and was intrigued by the brush shape and the claims to give a “full fan effect.” I picked up the shade Blackest Black but it’s also available in Very Black and Brown Black.

This is yet another lust worthy mascara from Maybelline! It claims to reveal, "layer upon layer of lashes" for a full fan effect, and thanks to a brilliantly designed brush and formula, it really does. The rubber brush features short, densely packed bristles along the inner curve (intended to deposit mascara at the root of lashes) and longer bristles elsewhere to sweep through lashes all the way to the tips.

Just a coat or two is all it takes to achieve cleanly separated yet volumized lashes for a beautifully fringed effect. Better yet, the buildable formula isn't prone to clumping, flaking or smudging.

The formula is thin and covers lashes easily with minimal clumping. When applying the mascara, you use the curved short brittle side to coat the lashes and get close to the roots. Then you can use the fanned out larger bristles to separate and fan out lashes to give a fluttery effect. I have to say it works extremely well at delivering lengthened fanned out lashes with minimal effort. I also want to note I didn’t have any smudging or flaking when using this and removal is a breeze with my trusty Philosophy Eye Makeup Remover! Of course you can use your favorite product to take it off.  

So let me know what do you think of this product and which is your favorite mascara.

Enjoy!

Happy Styling!!
