Pink Lady Lips review

MILANI
I love you for naming this shade Pink Lady, it's just so cute!


So lets get down to business, 
I went to CVS when they had their big beauty sale. I seen some of their Milani items were on sale, just not all of them. 
Meaning I was bummed when I couldn't get 2 lipsticks, that called my name, for dang near $1.50
None the less I got myself this lovely gloss, that also called my name.


Again the shade is 07 Pink Lady, which I feel is a good fit for the shade.
I enjoy pink shades very much, during the spring time so this will be used quite often in a few months. And maybe on and off during the holiday season. 


Just to see the back of this, I actually like that their label isn't just a sticker. It's printed on the packaging. 



Here is the swatch of it with a flash, it's a very nice soft pink shade, one I'd love to have as a lipstick as well, so yes I might try to hunt that down. As for the product, the scent is a bit of bubblegum and cotton candy. It is sticky as any lipgloss is, I think this is just one of those glosses that i nice to have in your bag when you're in need of a little pink shine. This might make a good gift this holiday season for someone who wishes to expand their lip gloss selection. Over all I give this a 3/5 Unicorns. Only because I don't like how sticky this actually is.

Rockin' Lipgloss

Oh goodness who here remembers always having to have rock candy as a kid? 
I know I do! 

So when I seen these lip glosses at Claire's I about spazzed. Not only were they on sale (10 for $10) I looked online and they have more flavors. You can click HERE to check them out on the official Dylans webpage. 


I purchased the only one they had, luckily I am a fan of the Strawberry flavoring. But fist I wanna talk about the packaging. 

I really enjoy how realistic the lip gloss looked from afar. I seen it and was like woah what is that, I need some of that in my life. When I seen it was $1 and a lipgloss, you know I didn't set it back down. Oh and originally this is $8.50 which is a little much for a lipgloss but I'll give it props cause it is Dylans. 
I'd also like to mention this is my first Dylans product and so far, it's goin good. 


Here's a look out of the packaging, It's all plastic, and not sharp, so don't worry you wont hurt yourself. 
I did notice that it shines like rock candy does in some lighting which is really cool. 
Now this flavor turned out to be clear, and I expected a hint of pink to be honest. 
I don't know if this goes for all flavors but non the less, I still like it.


Let's talk about the scent of this. Have you ever had those sour candies that you had to squeeze out of a tube? I cannot for the life of me remember the name, please tell me if you know what I'm talking about. But thats what this smells like! And I highly love it!! It makes me want to eat it. But please DO NOT consume this. This is a beauty product, not food. In that, I should mention the warning label about consumption at the bottom of the clear packaging. As any lip gloss would have, just don't eat it. 

Now for the product itself, it is a bit sticky and thick. I had to pat mine on via the applicator. 
Then had to smooth it out like any normal lip product. In total I give this a 3/5 unicorns. My only downfall is that its near $10 just for 1 product, and the second down fall is the thickness of the product, as well as not having any shade to it. But that last one doesn't mean  I wont use it.

Juicy Dreamin'

As stated in my last post, I wouldn't mind not getting anything this Christmas.
Chances are that's exactly what'll happen. 
But non the less, that doesn't mean I can't grab something for myself if the sale is worth it. 
In that, I should tell you. Every year my family has done a game for the holidays so everyone gets a gift. Then you would go on and get more if you wanted to. 
So upon that I may or may not get myself something I want, knowing I wouldn't get it. So why would I pass up the sale right?

Question: Do you buy yourself a gift during the holidays? Your birthday? Romantic days?
My Answer: Yes, I'm totes a loner like that. 

So lets get to the point of this post. 
JUICY!
I am in love with Juicy Couture.
It is a secret addiction since I was in high school. And I never owned anything of their until now. 
I own a purse and it's probably my favorite one I've ever owned. If you wanna see it and see whats inside, Just click HERE.


But this is the product I wanna talk about. Viva La Juicy, I mean hello beautiful!
I got a sample of this from Sephora, and Oh My Gosh!
This lady is in love. 
So this is that one thing I'm going to get myself this season, and hey if by chance this is that gift I get from the family games, well I wont be bummed at all because that just means more Juicy!

Have you ever had this? Gosh I wish you could do a scratch and sniff with the screen on your device. I just think you all need to smell this at least once in your life. And hopefully you become as addicted as I do.

Retail is taking over!

How many of you have been watching tv lately? So you've seen the Christmas commercials?
I swear I started seeing them not even a week into November.
I couldn't believe it at first. 

BUT

Then I realized this right here is a sign!
Retailers are taking over.
I mean this truly bothers me. And I'm a girl that loves to shop. 
Turkey comes before presents okay?
And Christmas isn't even about the gifts. I mean the best gift you could give is to be with the ones closest to you. 
That's what it means to me at least. I don't care if you give me anything, I'd rather get nothing and be with the ones I love. Then get all these material things in life and feel alone. 

I just can't. 

That's just me though. And I really hope that retail realizes, rather then opening stores on Thanksgiving day at 6pm, in which some people call dinner time.
That they should be opening at midnight, aka BLACK FRIDAY!
Thanksgiving and well the Holiday season is about family and giving back. Well how are some people supposed to do that when they're either working or shopping because all of the damn sales?

Don't get me wrong I love a good sale just as much as the next person. But I love my family too, and I'd want to spend time with them more now then anything.
I guess getting older, even though I'm only 23, I've learned family wont always be there.
Because life does happen, and the ones you love wont always be around. So in all of this ranting, I hope you see my point. 

Spend time with your family this holiday season. 
Don't let material things get in the way of good memories. 

If you read my whole rant, thank you. Do you agree with me though? Do you feel like retailers are trying to take over? Let me know in the comments.

Stress and Tomatoes

As stated in my recent video ( Click Here ) I have been stressed beyond belief. So let me vent a little. I have had so much going on and I didn't know what to do about my hair literally falling out in chunks and my skin breaking out. This product was less then a dollar and I thought why not, I haven't had a spa day in a while. So to my surprise this actually helped. 


Yes to tomatoes, clear skin. Was one of those impulsive purchases that consisted of payment through pocket change, 
I opened the packet to find the color of the mask just a grey, off white. Not too sure about there being a scent to it considering I've been sick for a few weeks but I'm pretty sure there wasn't one. But I could be wrong, correct me if you know. 
It was one of the type of masks that felt like clay when you put it on, then  you let it dry for 5 minutes. and wash it right off. 
After I did all that my skin did feel much more smooth. I also felt that this packet had more then enough for 2 masks though it only says one. So I suggest you have a spa day with your best friend or save it for another day. 
In total this product gets a 4/5 unicorns with me. And I hope I can find more at such a great price.

(Click here to watch)


The shade I own is "Thankful" and I am in love!
This is my first Tarte product, and I want more! I love the color this gives me, especially when I feel I am in dyer need of it. So in that, here it the swach also from the video on my channel. 


This product is available in many other shades, in which you can find on Sephora and I am sure you can find elsewhere. I really really love this and can't say enough good things. I highly recommend this, and give it a 5/5 unicorns! 
I know this was quick but just in case you missed the video I thought I'd write about it here.

Chocolate mask! Yay or nay?

Okay so I tried something so crazy, I kinda loved it. A hot chocolate face mask! 


I am a fan of Montagne Jeunesse masks already, and I am a HUGE fan of chocolate. But who isn't right? Well I seen this and about squealed in the middle of the local store. I purchased it for just under $2.00 and couldn't wait to give it a try. 


Needless to say I followed the steps as shown. I honestly didn't know what to expect, so let me tell you my experience.

When I opened the packet, I found the mask was a dark chocolate brown. Which I did expect considering it is a chocolate mask. 

 
Now when I started to apply the mask, it began to warm up like hot chocolate. Did I mention the scent of it was of a rich chocolate with a hint of orange! Needless to say I wanted to eat my face. 

After I washed off the mask, I could see and feel the difference in my skin. I absolutely loved this mask and I was so happy I had enough left over to do a second mask a few days later. 

On my recommendation, I say give this mask a try if you're a chocolate lover like me.

Zombie Flesh: Review

Muahaha its finally my favorite time of the year. So to start off the season Id like to talk about a product I purchased at Walmart for $2.00

ZOMBIE FLESH 


Click here to watch first impression:

So after wearing the product, I do NOT recommend this product for any sort of zombie look. Maybe if you want to pull of elephant skin? Or a overly dried face mask. But who has ever seen a grey zombie? It wasn't as cracked as promised. I just over all was not impressed. I guess I got what I paid for. And I will for sure be on the hunt for other products. 


For $2 you get 1 oz of this grey paint. And you get let down by the quality. Here's a look at what it came to be after a while of wear. 


Again. I don't recommend this for a zombie look. But maybe you can find a use for it.

Rockin' Curves Mascara Review

BAM! 

Rimmel London has done it again! I was sold on this sassy packaging in my favorite colors. Red and Black being my favorite colors, of course I had to touch it. 

Once I picked it up and read more about this mascara the more I wanted to try it. I personally have a positive history with their mascara. So I purchased it, retailing at walmart about $5. 



This mascara has the "Broken Heart" brush. I absoluly love this idea. It's made to curve to your lash line, with a thin point to get those hard to reach lashes. Yes it is hard to work with, you do need to practice not getting it all over. None the less I love the brush! 

With a broken heart comes tears, and it is sad to say this mascara isn't waterproof. But I can look past that with the results I get from this product. On a scale of 1-10 I give this mascara an 8. The only fault I truly found was that it wasn't water proof. Maybe I missed this product with that as an option. Or maybe it's not out yet. I do recommend you look into this product if you're a mascara addict like me, or just looking for something new to try.

Adore Dior

So for those of you who don't know yet, I finally have some Dior. I purchased the amazing and perfect Lip Glow along with the Lip Maximizer. 


Let's just say I am addicted. This is now something that is in my purse at all times. I love to use the products together to give me that perfect lip with just about any look. 


The swatch on top is the lip glow, then the gloss below it. This product is amazing! Yes it is a bit pricy, but completely worth it. This is a must have in any makeup collection. 

Check out the video I made just 24 hours after having the Dior products ( http://youtu.be/wbHOakFoW7o )

3D Fiber Lash Mascara Review

So I'm sure by now many of you have heard or seen something about this 3D Fiber Lash Mascara from Younique. I was finally able to get my hands on some and I even did a first impressions video on my youtube channel. ( http://youtu.be/GumIcYKGGmE )

Here is the product case itself.

I absolutely love the packaging with this product. It's different, bold, and really makes the product stand out from any other mascara. It opens up just like any case for glasses. 

Inside look. 

Inside you get two tubes. 
First one you must use over one layer of your favorite mascara. In my video I used the L'oreal Lashout butterfly mascara. But over time I found the best one to use was the Covergirl Clump Crusher. 

You have to apply the Moodstruck Transplanting Gel after the one layer of your favorite mascara. This is what the brush looks like. 

Quickly after applying the gel you will want to take the Moodstruck Natural Fibers and apply it to your lashes. Now you don't want to apply too much or you'll get fibers all over. After that layer, you'll apply another coat of the gel and continue the process until desired results.

The fiber brush.
 Hopefully with these two photos you can see the brush isn't so much of a brush and the fibers look as though they're tiny hairs.

I did follow the tips that came along with the mascara, and that was to do one eye at a time. You really do need to be quick with the fibers and gel. I truly enjoy the falsies look I get from this product. And I do have to say it is all trial and error. This is great to have if you're not into wearing falsies but desire the look. The price did have me question if it was worth a try but in the end there is always good deals out there with younique. And thus far I haven't been disappointed with their product. 

Thanks for reading! Be sure to check out more of my videos on youtube. And stick around for more in depth reviews here. Also you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram, links are provided in the downbar of all my videos.

Back To School Tips

Hey guys,

I wanted to talk a little about going back to school. This post won't be much about a review or anything along those lines. This post is about you. 

If you're heading into high school or are in middle school, maybe even college. Everyone will come across someone who will find a way to poke at things about you. It's inevitable, it happens to everyone. 

So here are my tips on how to handle those types of situations and more:

1: Keep your head up. -This person trying to tare you down in any way isn't worth your tears.

2: Never throw a punch. -I admit I was close to a few swings when I was in school. But I kept walking. 

3: Stand your ground. -Now this you might think 'fight'. But violence isn't the answer. Of course defend yourself but never start it. By this I mean your your words. Defend yourself with your smarts rather then your fists. 

4: Be the unlikely friend. -See someone sitting alone? Sit with them, it never hurts to make a new friend. And you never know, you could have just changed their entire week. 

5: Be active. -Participate! Spirit week, sports, theatre, clubs. Don't waste your year just sitting at home doing nothing. Make the most of your time in school so you have those memories to look back on, and it's a great way to meet new people. 

I could go on and on with tips and advice, but those 5 are things I did. As we as what I advised my 16yr old niece to do with her years in school. I really hope this post helps someone in some sort of way.

Smith's Rose & Mandarin Lip Balm: Full review


So I received this product from my best friend. And I did the first impression video which is up on my channel now.  But I wanted to share my full review here with you. 

This is my 2nd Smith's product and I love it. The first one ended up being one of my top 5 in my bag at all times. But now things have changed. I dropped this beauty in my purse after opening it and I've been using only this one since then, unless I have lipstick on. 

The smell is completely delightful. It's got that citrus smell with a sheer pink tint for your lips. It is the perfect product for the summer time. And I'm not gunna lie. It makes me want to eat more oranges. Hahaha. 

I'm not sure of how much it retails for, or where she got it. But I cannot thank her enough for bringing this into my life. This lip balms has 5/5 unicorns for me. And I recommend every girl having this in their beauty collection. 

Be sure to check out my video on youtube to see my first impression!

Que Bella masks!


Morning Ladies! 

So I had such a stressful day yesterday, I thought why not do a face mask today. 

I'm trying out this one as I type want proof? 


Now I know what you're probably thinking, she could've taken this before hand. But hey that's my proof so it's up to you to believe me or not. Now on with my review! :) 

This mask is from Que Bella bath & beauty. I purchased it at Target for I believe $2. There were more from this brand that are supposed to do other things. Such as deep cleansing (which I also purchased). The one I'm using today is the Purifying tea tree & witch hazel mud mask. 


Not too sure if you can read it. But it says to rinse your face with warm water before applying then wait 15 minutes. So I decided to type this out while I waited. I've still got a few more minutes to go hit I can tell you it feels minty. And I enjoy when a mask can give me that feeling. 

---------

Okay so my alarm went off for my time, and I rinsed off the mask as instructed. After I patted my face dry, I have to say I like this mask. It gave me a refreshed feeling, like after a normal face wash. But slightly different with a minty feeling at the end.  My skin definitely feels cool, and like I could rock the no makeup look today. 


Thanks for reading! Want a review on the deep cleansing? Let me know! Also be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel ( youtube.com/user/ZombodyToLoveVideos )

For the Eco bride to be

This is my first ever Eco tools product and I want to try more!! 
The Pure Complexion facial sponge was a hard sponge when in the box. And after I read the box I realized after wetting it, the sponge would be way easier to use. 
The sponge absorbed the water well and I wasn't sure if it contained anything inside or not. But the material was very different and not what I was expecting. 
With that said, I did like the material and went forth with testing this product. I grabbed one of my cleansers and scrubbed away. The sponge worked well against my skin. Not rough and not too soft.  I would totes reccomend this product to other bride to be's, and every day women.

Foot mask, say what?

So when I was doing some much needed retail therapy, I came across a foot mask! (As shown below) 
I was intrigued, so after I seen it was only $2.80 I decided I would give it a try and review it for you lovely readers. 


So here you see the back telling you how to use said product. And I did as told. I washed my feet with warm water, which by the way was totally relaxing.  I then opened up the packet and pulled out the "socks".


I tried to open it and it was stuck together. I realized once I actually got it open, that it was to keep the "essence" inside. So I did as so and slipped the socks onto my feet, it completely felt like I was putting my foot into a bag of lotion. 

I waited the full 30min as instructed. And once I pulled the foot mask off I noticed the difference on my skin. I admit my feet were dryer then dry and I felt like nothing was working to keep them soft. 

But I've found it! This stuff, what ever was inside of this was amazing. My skin felt so soft and smooth. And they didn't look dry as before. I swear this is the quick fix when you don't have time or the money for a pedicure. Well worth the $2.80 spent at Forever 21. You'll be sure to see this product in my first giveaway, once I reach my goal of 100 subscribers on youtube, everything in the giveaway will be announced. 

-xo- 
Peace!

First impression



Hey guys!!

So I recently got the bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie from Sephora. I got to try it for free thanks to a exclusive coupon, the sephora is within a JcPenny. 

So I'd like to share my first impressions with you. 


I did Vlog my first impressions, all legit reactions. I'm still unsure of what the smell consists of, bubblegum and something. Maybe someone with the product can help me out on that. The tingly feeling I got did stay as long as I wore the lipgloss, so that was a plus for me. 

I found when wearing the gloss I didn't need to put more on for a while unless I ate or drank. 

So there you have it. My first impression on this beautiful gloss in the shade Rebel. I would recommend sampling the product before purchase, just to be sure you like the smell and texture.

Viva la Voxbox!

So I got this nifty little box from Influenster recently. I've been using these products and I thought I'd share my review on them. 



Inside was a few special things. I filmed a video of my unboxing this ( http://youtu.be/SBYXp0c8VI4 ) and I've used all but one product. 

I found that the coconut and shea butter mask isn't half bad. I mean I completely love that brand, I'm just not a fan of coconut. But I sucked it up and put it on, turns out I liked it!  

The cetaphil wipes I've used a few times thus far and they leave my skin feeling refreshed and clean of makeup. But warning don't get it into your eye. I learned that the hard way. 

The Vaseline spray and go is quick and easy to use. Something I would recommend to have on hand if you're traveling or even in your car for those days you plan to show some leg and forgot to moisturize your skin. This spray kept my skin from looking dry all day and I have to say it'll be one of my spring favorites. 

Pure Ice nail polish! I love nail polish, it's a way to be creative on a little and portable canvas. I had fun playing with the two colors and I can't wait to get more. 

The last product I did try was te NYC lip color. And I love red, so thank you so much for this. This color and brand are very affordable and I loved wearing it. I would totally recommend this product as one to have in your purse. 

Thanks for reading guys! Don't forget to check out my youtube channel for more reviews and random videos.

Montagne Jeunesse Creamy Coconut Mask

So I received the Creamy Coconut, Montagne Jeunesse, face mask from Influenster to try out. Read below for my review... 
So I won't lie, I am not a huge fan of Coconut. Rather I detest it. 

When I opened up the pack to apply the mask, all I could smell was the coconut. I was truly questioning if I should put it on. But I sucked it up and did it for you, I knew it would be the only way to give you a real review. 

Once I started to apply the mask, the smell of the coconut began to fade and be over taken by the smell of Shea Butter. This was a HUGE plus in my book. 

After taking the mask off, I felt my skin was a lot smoother. My face felt very soft and I felt relaxed. So for someone who does not enjoy coconut at all. I actually liked this mask! I know, surprised me too! 
I would totally recommend this brand of masks, and even this "formula" of it. Because there are tons of different ones out there you could buy. And they do different things for your skin.

Apple of my eye

Ha got your attention didn't I?
Well check it out. My best friend got me this mascara to try out months ago. And I finally did! 


This stuff was really nice and smelled good!  I probably won't use it as a regular type of mascara but for sure on my more natural days. I really did like the brush on it. I loved how it goes to a point. 


It's not to a fine point but none the less it is more wide at the bottom. I would for sure try this stuff out if you haven't. All I know is she bought them online. eBay maybe? Amazon? If someone finds it please let me know so I can order more! If I find it I will let all of you know!

Highlighting my life

Hello loves, so I did a YouTube video recently where I showed everything I had been buying for two weeks. And I promised to review this nail polish.

It is Sinful Colors, and for the life of me I cannot tell you what the true name is of the color. So we are going with a highlighter yellow. It does come on very thin so I do suggest multiple layers, I did two and I feel like I could have gone with three. 


This is a color I would wear when it's warm. But because I'm crazy and I want some warmth in my life I put it on so I can feel like it's warm, is that weird?

Haha anyway thanks for reading, more reviews coming soon. You can always check out my YouTube Channel for more!
