Boscia BB Cream Review

Alright, This review is on Boscia which is a high end BB cream that they sell at Sephora. While I was there I was interested in other purchase but this lady asked me if I was interested in a sample this BB cream and she was telling me all about it. It won some awards for best BB cream and the reason why is only has one shade is because it matches to your appropriate skin tone. As you can tell you 1.75 oz of this BB cream for 38.00$. I think that is a lot of money and way to over priced for something that sucks so bad. I was able to get a sample and I used it everyday for a week and it did nothing for my skin except leaving it oily. And it gets worse there is actually glitter or freaking shimmer in the BB cream. I do not know about you guys but I hate having glitter in my foundation or anything besides eye shadow or lip gloss. I am not talking about just a little shimmer no full on glitter. My boyfriend noticed I was wearing make-up ( never good when people can tell you are wearing make-up) he was telling me I had glitter on my face. So I took a look and what do you know glitter was all over my face. I was really upset but I continued to use it so I could see the benefits but there were none. You are better off buying some cheap no name brand from a truck in an alley then to use this. Sorry Boscia you are not good. I will have a review on a drugstore BB cream that cost 3 times less than this nonsense.

I hope you guys are having a beautiful day!! :)

My Everyday Make-up Routine

This picture was taken when I finished my make-up. My hair is not finished and I am in pj's. So do not judge me if I look like somewhat of a mess. Okay so this post is obviously on my everyday makeup look. But in the past couple of days I have changed from everyday make-up look for the summer. It is definitely lighter application.

First I start with my Covergirl Concealer Stick in shade Light. I apply that down my nose and my eyelids and on any blemishes. I use my Maybelline Age Rewind Under Eye Circles for my under eye bags. I use the triangle trick and if you do not know what I am talking about check out my earlier post on how to get rid of under eye circles. I take my favorite powder brush by Mary Kay and apply Bare Minerals in N20 Medium Beige. I some times contour so I use Faux by Bare Minerals. Check out my contouring and highlighting routine post if you want more details. I do my eye brows and powder down with Translucent Veil by Bare Minerals. What makes this make-up so simple and this is why I do it everyday is because I use only two eye shadows that make me look more awake.The first shadow I use is a all over base color from Mac called Brule and the next eye shadow which is the newest shadow that I have purchased is from Stila called Kitten. I apply that all over my lid and I apply mascara and I am done with my eyes. I put a light color blush any will do and I put a pink color lipstick. All Done!

I hope you guys are having a beautiful day!

Birthday Haul!

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo late on this. Like a month and a half late haha! But on my birthday I did buy a few things for myself as a gift to me. Also I got some gifts from my family and friends. So first I went to Toni&Guy to get my hair cut for my birthday. After that I was suppose to go to sephora to pick up my birthday gift and it was the Watts Up and They're Real by Benefit (travel size). But I thought I would give some gifts to my self I also purchase an eye shadow from Stila called Kitten. Now that I think about it I really liked the sample palette that I got and I really should of bought the palette from Stila "In The Light" which also has Kitten in it. Anyways, then I also bought the eyeliner stick on which is new they are created by the same people who created the lip tattoos. Then my family bought my two Maybelline Vivid lipsticks on in Shocking Coral 870 (on the left) and the other is Electric Orange 880 (on the right). Then mom also got me a set of brushes from Mary Kay which I have fallen in love with and it is the set from the Signature collection. I will be doing many reviews on these products later on :)


Have a beautiful day.... and..... Remember you are more beautiful then you know!

Maybellines Age Under Eye Circles Review

Maybelline Age Rewind

As you can see in the picture above my eyes are terrible. I have such bad bags because I am prone to anemia. It runs in my family and if you do not know what anemia is well it is basically when your body lacks iron in your blood. With out that nutrient your body is more tired. Combine that problem with having a lot of trouble sleeping that equals horrible under eye bags. The discoloration and bags are cause by lack of sleep. This is my only problem with my face I do not suffer from acne or anything just horrible under eye bags. 

Now, there are many easy fixes for this problem. If you have under eye bags like me I will definitely share with you my eye routine. To solve the iron problem if you are suffering from lack of iron find another substitution. If you really want to remove the bags instead of covering them up take some iron pills or B12 shots. But talk to your doctor first if it very severe. Okay what I recommend next is some eye nutrients like under eye roll on. They usually reduce redness and puffiness. I use the roll-on by Simple I also heard from the girls on Beautylish that All About Eyes by Clinque is a fan favorite.

To cover up the discoloration and hide the bags in the mean time I use Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle. This is a treatment and concealer so that means while you are covering up this is working to diminish circles and reduce puffiness. I do not know how accurate this is but I have been using this since the beginning of February and I will say that it has reduce redness and puffiness but my circles are still dark and that bags are just less puffy. The middle picture you can see that some of the darkness does from through a little but that is my fault. When you want to conceal dark circles you need to get a shade lighter from your skin tone because you are trying to highlight that area. I accidentally took the shade that matches my skin tone so that barely does anything. So when you buy this product go a shade lighter. I do recommend this product because I think it is worth the money. If there are any other under eye concealers that you think are better let me know in a comment below :)

I hope this helps you guys. Hope you having a beautiful day!

Throwback... Wayy Back

This is way back.. Like I think this photo was taken when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I use to do a little bit of modeling and I think I stopped by the time 9th grade ended. But yeah I cannot remember what the theme was for this photo but I was modeling for this new photographer who was trying to build her portfolio for school. It was a lot of fun because the photo shoot was at this abandon area with a vandalized bus. It was sprinkling and very cold. I had a good time though there were other gorgeous ladies involved as well.

Rant!!! WARNING!

I am so freaking pissed at MAC because they launched riri new lipstick and I was ready to buy it and I clicked on it and it said please wait for a response and I was just getting super anxious. It was taking forever to load the dang page. Like what the heck MAC seriously. So I tried to reload the page right... welll it did the same "please wait as we submit you order" Okay so I wait... and wait.... and wait..... AND WAIT!!!!!!. I am super mad because I am at work right now and I decided to check out MAC again to see if I can purchase it..... Well NO! it will not let me because they are sold out! I had my item in the basket... IN THE BASKET. I checked and it said "We are sorry but riri is sold out so we have removed your items from your basket" That's so ughhh. Annoying. I am so mad.
Whatever I guess if you missed out on riri's lipstick then this is an update for you. Then are coming out with another collaboration that will be release in June. If you want know about it before anybody else then you can go onto MAC's website and register for updates. If you do not know what riri collection is well it is Rihanna's and MAC's collaboration and I am so mad that I missed her lipstick. but whatever. I better not miss the next one because of MAC's stupid website errors. Ugh...


I hope you guys are having a better day then I am >:(
