All Gone [Products That I've Finished] #4


 
1. Victoria's Secret Pink Bold & Playful Hand & Body Cream smells amazing! I really love this lotion I got this a long time ago with other PINK products and clothes for Christmas and I stopped using it for a long time but then I started again. This is a really good lotion it's not greasy and smells amazing. I wish PINK still made this but they are always changing up there products which is good but also bad because the stuff that you love won't be there the next year. But I have tried another lotion from PINK and I loved that one too.
 
2. MAC Green Gel Cleanser I don't really have to much to say about this. It's lathers up well it doesn't get overly soapy, I don't use to much product when I wash my face as the lady told me when I bought this you only need a small amount when you wash your face. Once I did however use a large amount by mistake and it felt like it was burning my skin a bit as well if you do get this into your eyes it will burn bad. I haven't notice a real difference in my skin too much. Not sure if this is worth the money.
 
3. L'Oreal Skin Genesis Wet Cleansing Towelettes, I bought these thinking they were makeup wipes which they are not, I have a full review on these you can click here to read that. Otherwise they have a strong smell and I just didn't enjoy using them too much.
 
4. Neutrogena All-In-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes, I really like these wipes they are my go to makeup remover. They don't smell bad, they wipes are a good size and work well. I have a more detailed review that you can check out here.
 
5. Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment, lip balms from Fresh are the best lip balms I have tried, I really like these and would recommend them to everyone.
 
6.Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Enhancing Serum Advanced, is a nice product I think this does work for your brows I used it and saw a bit of a change the only this is a kept for getting to up it on at night and in the morning then I just stopped all together using it. But if you use it everyday I think it can work for you. Here is a review that you can check out from a long time ago on this product.

My Hair Routine

 
I'm finally doing this post a while ago Jennifer from SpicedBeauty.com asked if I can do a post like this and I wanted to wait until I got my routine down because I'm always changing it up. This is the routine that I have been doing for months now. I hope you all enjoy this post.
 
 
 
My Daily Routine
I don't really comb or tend too much to my hair if I'm just staying home and doing nothing, but if I'm going out I moisturize my hair with Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil or Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Spray. The virgin coconut oil comes in a solid form and I use a small amount warm it up in my hands first so it melts then I apply it to 3/4 of my hair but I mostly focus most of the product on my ends. A small amount of this it great if you use to much it will make your hair look greasy and not shiny. As well there are also many benefits of using coconut oil in your hair like getting shiny hair, building your hairs strength and there are many more. The next product I use regularly is Macadamia Healing Spray I use this whenever I'm styling my hair with heat because it does protected your hair from hot tools or as a substitute for the coconut oil because it's faster to use since it's a spray. 
 
My Washing Routine
Once again I use coconut oil when I wash my hair, I warm it up in the microwave until its warm and apply it to my hair and leave it in for 15 minutes before I wash my hair or sometimes I warm up the product in my hand and apply it to my hair and leave it in for a night then I wash my hair in the morning. I always apply this to about 3/4 of my hair starting from my ends and working my way up.  Then next before I actually wash my hair, I comb my hair to get out any tangles. Then I section my hair into 4 parts and I wash my hair in sections. The shampoo that I've be using for months is Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo and I apply this only to my scalp as I have read it better to only shampoo your scalp and to condition your ends. Once I'm done then I move onto my conditioner the one I'm currently using is MOA Melaleuca Omega-3 Argan Moisturizing & Repair Conditioner but I'm always changing up my conditioners this is just what I currently have been using, which I have to add this conditioner smells amazing I think it's the best smelling conditioner I have ever tried so far. Like with my coconut oil I only apply this to 3/4 of my hair and I start at the ends of my hair working my way up. I don't apply any conditioner to my scalp but I do apply it to the back of my head because I feel like the hair back there doesn't really get a lot of TLC. I think most people forget about the little baby hair that is at the back of your neck. Then I let that stay for around ten minutes, whenever I wash my hair I always listen to music because I hate to wash my hair and listening to music makes it more fun lol so I leave my conditioner in for 3 songs which songs are usually around 3 minutes and 3 songs is around 10 minutes give or take a few minutes. When I rinse the conditioner out I only use cold water because cold water helps lock in shine I've been told by a friend when I was in middle school. I also gently comb out my hair as much as I can to get out any tangles with my Macadamia No Tangle Brush.  
 
My After Wash Routine
After I wash my hair and it's time to blow dry I use my healing oil spray to protect my hair and I also apply Macadamia Natural Oil No Tangle Spray to the section of hair I'm working on. I also section my hair when I blow dry it because for me this method is easier. Once I'm done I spray that section of my hair with KQC Thermal Shine Spray and I straighten my hair then move onto the next section and so on.

Model In A Bottle Make Up Setting Spray Matte Finish Review

 
 
About The Product
Model In A Bottle is a setting spray which holds your make up in place all day long. With no more touch ups during your day. Model In A Bottle is resistant to smudging, tears, humidity and water.


 
Review
I have been dying to try this setting spray for the longest time and I finally decided to purchase this little baby when I was it was on sale. First off I'm going to say this setting spray makes your make up last all day long. However this is about just the only thing I liked about this product. This setting spray is to help keep your face matte all day, but this didn't work out for me by the end of day or even the middle of my day I notice in my z-tone my face wasn't matte like it was when I first applied the spray. When I apply this spray I apply it in an X and in a horizontal line across my face like recommend from one of Kandee Johnson videos on YouTube. So I know 100% it's getting that area, it's a letdown that this didn't help with keeping my face matte for long. Another problem I had with this product was the spray it's self sometimes it wouldn't spray out evenly as well sometimes it would make my mascara run when it wouldn't spray on my face evenly. The last this that I didn't like was the smell it is strong very strong however it does get better as you use the setting spray more you don't notice the smell anymore, you get used to it. Over all I wouldn't recommend this for someone with oily skin I think this could work getting for someone with dry skin. I won't be buying this setting spray again.
 
 
Price
I purchased this product from Cherry Cultures when it was on sale.
17.00 US (sale price)
21.00 US (regular price)

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Lollipop

So I finally bought myself another lip butter from Revlon this time I decided to buy Lollipop because I wanted to try a new shade from the collection that I haven't tried before.
 
 


 
About The Product
From Revlon website "Buttery Balm with beautiful shiny colour to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips. 94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother and instantly hydrated." Comes in 0.09 ounce.
 
 
 
Review
 Oh my gosh these lip butters are so smooth like butter! When you apply it to your lips right away it hydrates your lips. Goes on so smooth I just love Revlon's Lip Butters. The colour of Lollipop is pink in the tube but applied to on my skin it looks pink with a hint of purple there are also sparkles in the lip butter you can't see them in this picture but they are there. The sparkles however are not over powering you really don't even notice them on your lips. Just like other lip butters I have tried this colour is buildable you can apply one coat or build it up to make the colour more vibrant but I have to say this colour is pretty vibrant with just one application. Overall this is another lip butter that I have fallen in love with.

Sedona Lace Vortex & Midnight Lace Brushes Review

 
 
 
 
 
About The Products
From Sedonalace.com "The Vortex Collection exclusively designed by Renelyn Monteloyola of Makeup by Ren Ren for Sedona Lace. This pro line of brushes takes makeup application and technique to the next level. All of the brushes are multi-purpose and versatile and includes a brush belt to help store the brushes and keep them within easy reach." In the picture below is more information on the collection.
 
 
Review
(pictures were taken after all the brushes were used for 2 weeks and washed)

 The Jumbo Fan brush I have to say is the reason why I wanted this collection in the first place. This brush is great for highlighting. It's nice and big as well as super soft. I had no problems with shedding with this brush as well this brush came with a cover to help maintain it's shape which I place back on the brush after each use.
 

The Tulip Contour brush I have only used for applying blush, you can use this to contour but I think it would be to big for that, but I might still give it a try. When I washed this brush I noticed that there was a chemical smell coming from the brush which I'm guessing is the smell of the dye. This brush did shed a few times when apply blush to my face as well it could be a bit softer.
 
 
This is the brush that I currently use to contour, I think it's a great brush and it's nice and soft. However I did experience a lot of shedding with this one this brush as well when I washed it there was a chemical smell to it from the dye. I noticed this smell with all of the black brushes and no smell with the others. Once the brush did dry however the chemical smell went away with all of the black haired brushes. 
 
 

 I don't wear foundation a lot but for two week I did so that I can really test out this brush as well as the midnight lace brush that I got. This brush is softer then the midnight lace brush it's not as dense as the midnight lace brush. There was no shedding with this brush what so ever. It applied my foundation well and there were not any lines that brush leave behind this brush blended out my foundation well.
 
 

 I like this brush because you can use this brush to pack on eye shadow or to blend, it's soft and blends well. 
 
 

This brush I have been using to apply shadows, I like it better to apply pigments but I think this brush is a bit to big for a persons eye lid but I do still like it and the size is not a big deal. 
 
 

 This blending brush is actually a big brush I use it to apply neutral colours to my crease and I blend it up to my brow, you can also use this blending brush to apply concealer I have a similar brush like this from Real Techniques that I use to apply concealer. 
 
 

 This brush as the other black brushes had a chemical smell to it when I washed it. This is a nice brush and fits nicely into my crease however I wish it was softer to me this brush isn't really soft at all.
 
 
 
I like the idea of this brush as it's a dual brush. The spoolie is great and is bent at a bit of an angle. However the actual brush it's self is too stiff for my liking and too thick. I feel I would like the brush better if it was 10% softer and if it was thin then I believe that this would be a great brush. I sometimes have dry skin in my t zone so for more I don't want something stiff around that area to make my skin flake. This brush is ok with liquid brow products but I think it's better with powders.
  

I like this brush very much I don't have a lot to say it's your standard bent liner brush and I have had to problems with it what so ever. 
 
 

This brush is a nice size brush however I really didn't use it I tried it for placing a shadow around my tear duct and it was to big for that but I feel it would be nice for packing on shadow. This brush I feel needs to be soft this is not a soft brush and I guess that is why I never really used it.




 This brush can be used to apply gel liner as well as brow products and can help to create a cut crease look. I don't like this to apply gel liner I personally like bent liner brushes better for that but I do like the to apply brow products and that is what I current use this brush for. Since having this brush I haven't switched back to the brush that I used before this one for my brows. This brush is soft and thin which is what I like in a brow brush.
 
 
 
 Last brush from this collection is the lip brush, this is the prefect brush to take with you on the go to reapply lip stick I like that it comes with a cap so you can throw this in your bag and it wont get dirty. This brush is nice and soft  and I like how you can place the cap onto the end of the brush to make it longer with this feature it also less likely that when you go out you wont loose the cap since it can be place at the end of the brush.

About The Product
From Sedonalace.com "When it comes to foundation the Synthetic Flat Top Powder Brush is your best friend. The dense, flat surface perfectly applies foundation - whether it be cream, liquid or powder. A flat top brush is your key to an airbrushed foundation application."
 
 
Review 
This is a dense brush but it's also soft. I like this brush I don't use it a lot since I don't wear foundation daily. This brush compared to the one from the Vortex Collection foundation brush is not light weight when you hold both of the brush you can feel the different in that and well the Vortex foundation brush is less dense then this brush. Both brushes are great is just really depends on your preference.
