More Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow Swatches and Photos



After using the previous shadows, I definitely wanted to try more. They are everything you want in a shadow and more. Never powdery or chalky and always easily blendable. 
There are a few shades that are meant to be used as blush - M810 being one of them.
M536 is neutral enough to use as a contour as well as an eyeshadow (which I have tried and loved).

Caudalie Divine Oil



I kept hearing good things about the Caudalie Divine Oil, but I really wasn't interested for the longest time. When I finally tried it I had actually been looking for an oil I could use on my hair that didn't have any silicone in it. When I got it I tried it on the ends of my hair and it was nice; it didn't leave my hair too greasy or oily looking and smoothed any rebellious strands. The smell is very unique and can take some getting used to - even though it is not overpowering. Something about the scent is surprising at first, and then becomes familiar and something you want to smell of.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Photos & Swatches


This palette contains 12 neutral rose-hued shadows. There tends to be a bit of fallout with the glittery shadows, but overall they are pigmented and blend beautifully. Even though the shadows are more pink-toned they are still totally versatile and you can get a ton of different looks with a single palette.

Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel



I have been dealing with some hormonal acne for the past two years. My skin has calmed down a bit, but I still get a few monthly breakouts. Benzoyl Peroxide doesn't work for my skin, so I am left with Salicylic Acid (I also use sulfur products that I will get into in another post). I usually have good luck with products containing Salicylic Acid as far as breakouts are concerned, so I assumed that this Clinique clearing gel was just what I needed.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream




I have been looking for the perfect daytime moisturizer for what seems like forever. One that isn't greasy, doesn't break me out, doesn't smell disgusting and leaves my skin perfectly balanced. Some were too heavy, and some not heavy enough. I am often hesitant to try new products on my face for fear of a bad reaction. After having this product for a while I finally decided to try it out. It turned out to be everything that I was looking for, and it was so unexpected!

Chanel Resynchronizing Skincare


In spring of last year, Chanel launched their Resynchronizing Skincare line consisting of three products; Le Jour De Chanel, La Nuit De Chanel, and Le Weekend De Chanel. A product for the day, the night, and the weekend respectively. I have had the chance to use these for a while and form a thorough opinion on them.

Laura Mercier Flawless Face Polish



I received a mini of this exfoliator about a year ago. From the very first time I tried it I was hooked. It smells perfect, and it actually exfoliates. Countless times I have tried product after product only to be disappointed by the lack of exfoliation. And it isn't harsh, damaging, or painful like some tend to be...ahem St. Ives Apricot Scrub. 

Fresh Rose Mask



There's no better pick-me-up than a nice, soothing face mask when you're feeling less than your best. Or maybe your skin is the best it's ever been and you just want to keep it that way! This rose mask from Fresh may be the ticket.
