Hello my sweets!
I understand its been a while since my last blog, but this lady has been busy! I was originally going to do a Vlog, but my patients is wearing thin with my technology and it takes TOO damn long to post videos...THAT and the laptop I am borrowing from my dad is a GIANT piece!!!!
Anyways, onto the fun stuff! I have recently purchased some beauty products and wanted to share my feedback...rants, raves the whole bit. So here goes...
Revlon Photoready Airbrush Foundation
I've got to level with you, I have been a pretty faithful maybelline mousse/E.L.F mineral make-up wearer for years...so to go outside the box was a little scary! BUT, I found this little baby on sale for $7.99 AND it came with the primer, so I said what the hell and bought it. Turns out, its not THAT bad! It was pretty light and the coverage was great! It really does give the total "airbrushed" look! My only negatives is that, its a tad heavy for me in the summer (nothing worse than sweatin' all your make-up off in the heat..) AND you have to press down on the top to get product out and if you press just a little TOO much, a MASS amount will come out, and with it being like a mousse/foam, it EXPANDS (like hair mousse). Needless to say when I was trying it out in the store, I had it ALL over my arms...so just be careful!
Maybelline "FIT me" Foundation
This is my new true LOVE! Luckily I only went to try this one, because it was ALSO on sale ($8.49), like the last one! But I will definitely be re-buying this one in the future. It provides AMAZING full coverage and it really does FIT your skin tone perfectly! Negatives; Its in a glass bottle with no pump, you just have to pour it onto the back of your hand, which isn't a HUGE deal, but when it gets to the bottom, you won't be able to get EVERY last drop of it...lame.
Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer
THIS was the delicious product that came with the airbrush foundation! I am defiantly ALL about primers and if you're not using one, what the HELL is your problem?? Seriously though this stuff is great! Its mattifying (doesn't say it on the bottle, but it does) and very silky feeling. It also helps to even out the skin tone, because it has a lavender tone to it..all in all, great product (it was free, who can go wrong with that!)
Revlon Lip Butter "Peach Parfait"
Ok...so this MAY be the best lip product I have EVER used. NOT only was the color AMAZEBALLS, but it makes your lips feel SO soft ALL day. There isn't many products I reapply daily, but this is one of them! I have heard many other YouTube beauty gurus rave about this and I thought it was about time I got it! This color in particular is SO pretty and has gold sparkles in it! I definitely recommend this to ANYONE who wants a nice light peachy-pink, that makes your lips SUPER soft all day!
Hard Candy "Ginormous Lash" Mascara
I will fully admit to being a mascara junky, and I'm always buying new and different ones, which I am usually happy with, but THIS one...AWFUL! When I first put it on, it barely coats my lashes and just makes me look like I have spider legs attached to my eyes (not a hot look) and during the day it tended to flake off and it BURNED my eyes! Egads! And being a contact wearer this was super annoying and painful! I'm pretty sure I got this at a drugstore and I really cannot remember what I paid for it, but I will definitely NOT be recommending this in the near future!
LashStudio False Lashes "Fascinating"
I Love me a good set of falsies! I do have a great set of my own, but sometimes I like to amp it up a little bit...glam diva style! I love Ardell lashes, but these are defiantly becoming my new favorite! They actually FIT my eye and I don't have to fake it with eyeliner! They were easy to put on and I didn't have to fuss with them. They didn't come with any glue, but the glue lashes come with is usually crap ( i use one from sephora), but they were actually $2 cheaper than Ardell, thus the reason I wanted to try them...and they work great..check em' out!
Bath & Body Works "Malibu Radiance Whipped Body Cream"
This was $15.00 at the good ol' B&B, and worth EVERY penny in my books. It has a very light bronze color to it and has sparkly flex in it. It LOOKS amazing on tanned skin, even on an Albino I'm sure it would look hot! It is so light and creamy in texture and the smell is OMG good! It has avocado oil in, so it is SUPER moisturizing! If you're out and wearing shorts/dress, slather this stuff on and your legs will look perfect...very housewives of OC!
TRESemme Volumizing Dry Shampoo
I have been around the block with dry shampoos! I have bought EXPENSIVE ones form sephora that worked for CRAP or the nozzle would end up getting plugged 2 uses in! Those of you who know my, know I NEVER wash my hair! On a good week, i MIGHT wash it twice...on a GOOD week. SO dry shampoo is my BFF. Turns out, TRESemme does it AGAIN! This one was under $5 (on sale) and it works great! It didn't leave a white-ish color on my roots and blended in very well. It also made my hair look freshly washed! SO FAR, I have not experienced any clogging, but stay tuned for that..
So my sweets, those are all my new products I've just recently purchased and wanted to share with you. These were all bought from Drug stores (Rexall or shoppers or London Drugs) so they are inexpensive, which is the crowd THIS Delicious Diva can run with.
Please leave your comments below and let me know if you've had any different experience any of these products..or any other product you wish to share! Stay gorgeous!
Love, Laura

(SIDE NOTE: YES, I will be making more blogs about everything, I was off for a bit, but am back on the band wagon!)
