L'BRI Giveaway & Review!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by L'BRI for the review & giveaway free of charge.**


I don't get break outs on my face often but I do get a lot of small black heads on my nose so I like keeping a daily skin routine of keeping my face clean to help prevent any break outs or larger black heads.  My skin is pretty sensitive so I try not to use facial products that are too strongly scented, or that create a dry feeling so I test out everything on my hand before applying it to my face to prevent blemishes or redness from irritation. Anytime I get a product that doesn't agree with me I will let you all know as well, but that isn't the case with this collection of products they all feel great. I was recently sent some great products from a company called L'BRI to test out and I have to admit the gentle cleansing wash I received is neck and neck with my favorite face wash of all time.

                 

Gentle Skin Care Trio: This set comes with a cleanser, freshener and a lotion all designed to help normal and dry skin, it retails for $56.95. The cleanser has a thin formula so you only need about a dime sized amount for your whole face so the 6oz bottle will last you quite some time. It has a light rose smell which is actually quite pleasant and it leaves my skin feeling moisturized, refreshed, light and silky smooth. Instead of leaving my face feeling tight due to the face wash drying it out or feeling greasy my face is almost left feeling fluffy and clean and the smell gives it an airy feel. The fresher is a  moisturizing mist meant to help keep your face feeling fresh through out the day, to be honest I don't see myself using this once much because the cleanser and lotion do an excellent job. The lotion I love using on my face and my hands, which I normally don't like doing because most lotions give me blemishes but this is light, non-greasy or oily and doesn't have any strong scents to irritate my skin.

Exfoliating face and body wash: This product offers a great mixture between a bead filled scrub and a normal face wash. The formula spreads out quite a bit and there isn't an overwhelming amount of scrub in it which is nice for the face, neck, back, etc. It has a light floral and almost coco scent to it which is nice. The bottle is a great shape to help get all of the product out as you are using up the bottle.

Oil-Free Moisturizer with Sunscreen: I like applying this to my face in the morning because I get ready to go out for the day, it does have a light sunscreen smell to it but it isn't overpowering and doesn't have any kind of odd funky smell to it. Much like their other products the formula used is light weight so you will need very little of this to cover your face. It does not leave my face feeling greasy and oily just clean and moist, it absorbs into the skin quickly and you can really feel it sinking in. It makes a great base under foundation and is a product my skin really seems to agree with. Since I've started using the gentle cleanser and this moisturizer I can tell a bit of a difference in the way my skin looks, from time to time I get dry patches on my nose but I haven't had any issues with that since using these products. I've been using these products for about a week now and I do really enjoy them.



Eye shadow collection for Brown eyes: This collection of eye shadows comes with four different colors which are Flax a caramel color, Eucalyptus a almost forest green, Bisque a white, and Smoked plum a purplish brown. The case they came in is pretty sturdy and actually a little difficult to open but that is also a good thing because it means it won't pop open in my makeup bag. Two of the color tins are a little lose in the packaging and wiggle around when using that specific color but so far they don't seem to be going anywhere just a little wiggly. The eye shadow formula is smooth and soft to the touch when applying it to your skin, all of the colors are pretty light so I would suggest using a eye primer under the shadow. The image shown above is 2-3 layers of the shadows included in the set out in the sunlight. This retails for $33.95



Velvet touch retractable eyeliner in Teal shimmer: I like the product packaging for this liner, the liner end is a little thinner than the twisting end which helps you get a better grip on the eyeliner. The cap stays in place and requires a little force to get off so you won't need to worry about the cap randomly falling off. This teal liner is a little more on the green side than blue and has silver shimmer sparkles through out. You can create thin lines using this product or if you want to blend it the product blends easily. There is a small sharpener tucked away in the end of this which is nice for when you want to keep it sharp to achieve thin lines.

Five Piece Brush Set: The carrying case this comes in is fantastic, it is a faux leather wallet sized case that has a magnetic close and a flap that goes over your brushes both to keep them protected and help keep any loose pigments from falling out everywhere. It comes with five essential pieces you would want to take with you while traveling which includes a nylon bristle Powder Brush, Shading Brush, Lip Brush, Angled Eyebrow Brush, Eyebrow & Eyelash w/Comb. The brushes are soft and seems to be well made the only brush that had any bristles coming lose or out of place was the eyebrow brush. This set retails for $40 

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner is going to win their choice of a skin care trio for their skin type a $56.95 value.

Pacifica Beauty Review & Giveaway!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Pacifica Beauty for the review & giveaway free of charge.****



I recently received a surprise box in the mail from a wonderful company called Pacifica Beauty. I've tried their eye shadow palette in the past and I loved it so I was excited to get to try their lipstick and their mascara as well. In my box I received their Devocean Natural lipstick in the color Beach Goth (it is a light purple color); Retail $10, a Dream big lash extending 7 in 1 mascara; Retail $16 and the power of love eye shadow palette; Retail $20 which has ten different colors.




I was slightly bummed out because the lipstick was a bit melted upon arrival so it made a bit of a mess inside of the lid but I was able to get it cleaned up and firm again after placing it in the freezer. The lipstick smells amazing it has a smell that is a mixture between coconut and a floral scent, I enjoy putting it on my lips just so that I can smell it. The texture is nice, it isn't too thick or too thin it glides on like silk and sits well, the color is lovely it is a very light purple/light pink shade and lasts most of the day.
















See the two photos above that show one short fat mascara wand and another that is slightly longer and looks thinner? It is the exact same brush in both pictures! The dream big mascara wand has a retractable mascara wand so you can build the mascara for a fuller mascara look or you can choose to use just one step if you prefer; I like using it on the longer setting. The mascara builds up well and goes on smoothly, I like the formula they used and I absolutely love the packaging. It was long lasting and was easy to wash off when I got into the shower, I am pretty happy with this mascara.

Last but not least is the power of love eye shadow palette, I did not use the palette that came in my surprise box because I already own one so I saved this one to put into a small giveaway for one lucky reader. Their eye shadows are coconut-infused mineral eye shadows that feel quite soft on your skin and the colors blend together well if you are going for a smokey eye look. I find that you need at least two layers of each color in order to be able to see them on your eyes or one if you use a eye shadow base before applying the shadow. The packaging is cute and over all light weight, it is good for taking with on your travels or simply keeping with the rest of your makeup.



Prize Alert: 
One lucky reader is going to win a Pacifica Beauty power of love eye shadow palette, a pair of hypoallergenic earrings, a eye shadow by Sweet Libertine called Fiasco and a black eyeliner by Rimmel London. 

This is open to Worldwide to ages 18+, please remember if you DO NOT leave a comment on this blog post as your mandatory entry into the giveaway then all of your entries will be void. Doing the Daily entries will increase your chance of winning. Winners have 72 hours to respond to the notification email!

Lumikki Cosmetics Review & Giveaway!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Lumikki Cosmetics for the review & giveaway Free of charge.****


I wanted to start off by saying I am excited to share this review and giveaway with all of you makeup lovers out there! I found a wonderful small makeup company called Lumikki Cosmetics, I was originally drawn to her store after seeing an image of her eye shadow called "Dragons Scale" which I am happily now the owner of. All of the eye shadows sold by Lumikki Cosmetics contain glitter some are more subtle others are "Pow" in your face and I love it they are all very unique and are unlike any shadows I have seen before. For a review I was sent five shadows of my choice, It was difficult to pick just five because they all look amazing but after some debating I decided on the following shades; Andromeda, Dragon Scale, Witches Brew, Bones, &  Skyrim.



My package arrived in less than a week and was extremely well packaged to keep the containers of shadow safe, Each container is marked with the company name and color. When opening loose pigment eye shadows you do need to remember to tap the lid before opening other wise you will lose a good portion of the product. I have been looking for a good white shadow for quite some time, I don't use white often but when I do it is usually for Holiday related makeup such as the 4th of July [Red,White & Blue] or Halloween [Candy Corn] which is why I decided to test out the shadow 'Bones'. This white is perfect for my needs, most white shadows I have tried blend and hide with my skin tone to make it visible I have to pack on the shadow which isn't a desired situation as the shadow easily gets in my eyes, Bones is visible without using a lot of the product. I enjoy Bones but it is no where near the amount that I love Dragon Scale, this shade is absolutely gorgeous. Dragon Scale is a is a multidimensional, color-shifting emerald green with tons of pink, purple & rose sparkles. When applied I feel that the shade would match how a dragons scale would look on the powerful majestic creature itself, the purple and pink sparkles really bring out the shadow of emerald used I plan on using this shade often.



Next up is the Skyrim which is a blue-green aqua with silvery sheen. This color reminds me of a mixture between a sea aqua and a sky blue, with small specks of silver showing through, this shade would be perfect for a sea inspired makeup look. Andromeda is part of the Galactic Collection, which is a series of deep, inky black eye shadows with holographic, multi-colored glitters and color-shifting bases. Testing out Andromeda I found the black over powered the glitter slightly but still holds its deep well pigmented shade. Last but not least Witches Brew is also another of my favorites from the five, it is an intense burgundy red shade with tons of glimmering sparkles. I love this shade it reminds me of wet berries, the sparkles give it the glimmering look and the burgundy red is quite rich. Now you know about how the shades are but how is the actual makeup? I find that the eyeshadow applies without any issues, the pigments stick well and don't end up all over your cheeks like some shadows tend to do.

The shadows are true to the shades show in the images on the website, they are long lasting and wash off easily without any irritation to the skin. The pigments themselves are soft and is light weight you won't be able to tell you are even wearing eye shadow. I personally love these shadows and look forward to purchasing more from their website for both myself and my loved ones. Last but not least the customer service gets an A+ from me! I am sorry I didn't provide photos of the eye shadows in action my fiance is quite ill and my son is teething it has been a hectic last two days.



PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive 5 Eye shadows from Lumikki Cosmetics, The shadows will be picked from the top sellers by the owner. This giveaway is open World Wide!
