Essence and Ebony Magazine: Best of 2015 Beauty

Happy Monday! As most of you know Essence is one of my favorite magazines and so is Ebony. When I saw their best of 2015 articles, I got an idea for a post. I was going to try out some of these products for a few weeks and post my thoughts on them. Most of what I'm going to talk about is makeup but I have a couple non makeup products to talk about. I held off on the hair products until I took out my faux locs (which I was supposed to take out this weekend but didn't happen lol) So let's get into the reviews. Best Makeup Primer: Cover Girl Outlast All-Day Primer I recently raved about this primer in my October favorites. This is my new favorite, holy grail primer. I had to try this when I saw that it helped with oily skin. I don't have to blot my t-zone anymore or only once a day with this primer. It really does an amazing job with controlling the oil. It also gives a flawless canvas for your foundation and hides my pores. It is only 9.00 and can be found at a...

Shopping My Beauty Samples

Happy Thursday!! It seems like Summer is still trying to hold on lol! Today is another post from my Shopping My Beauty Samples series. Let's get into the reviews. Eyeko Black Magic Mascara Box It Came From: Birchbox Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 25.00 Review: I was pretty excited to try this mascara out. I always love trying out new mascaras. I have been loving this mascara. It makes my lashes look so long and it really separates them. Here is what the wand looks like. I really like how it is curved so it hugs your lash line and gets your lashes evenly. I'm not sure about purchasing the full size, this sample seems like it would last me for a while but I may invest in the full size at some point. I have a picture for another sample where I am wearing the mascara. Mitchell and Peach Fine Radiance Face Oil Box It Came From: Ipsy Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 46.30 Review: I really like using facial oils wit...

Thursday Reviews: Shopping My Beauty Samples

Happy late Thursday! Man things have been a little crazy this week but things are going well. I haven't done a post in this series in such a long time. I have so many samples waiting to be reviewed. So let's get right into the reviews!! Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream Box It Came From: Ipsy Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 19.99 Review: I really enjoyed using this eye cream. The under eye area stayed moisturized and felt smooth. I loved the consistency of this, it wasn't too thick and blended in very well. Mostly likely, I would repurchase this. Dove Pure Dry Oil Box It Came From: Ipsy and Walmart Full Size or Sample Size: Sample Size Price Point: 9.00 Review: Funny thing is that I received two samples of this products in different boxes. I really love the scent of this oil! It has a rich, thick texture but it not too heavy. It doesn't feel greasy at all and works so well with my hair. I would most definitely repurc...

Thursday Reviews: Liquid Lipstick Battle

Happy Thursday!! I'm so happy that the weekend is almost here! If you haven't heard about the craze about liquid lipsticks, you must be living under a rock. It seems like every makeup company has their own version of this very popular product. It is so hard not wanting to pick up every single one! I have a few that I have been trying out and reviewing. I couldn't find most of pictures of me wearing some of them but have a few. Let's get into the reviews! Lime Crime Velvetine in Wicked I know there is a lot of controversy with this company but I still wanted to review this product. I picked this up last year at IMATS and boy was that line ridiculous!! My friends actually stood in line and we just gave them money while we walked around and got stuff for them. I heard so many good things about this liquid lipstick and just had to try it. I fell in love the first time I wore this. These velvetines are so pigmented and not drying at all. I didn't have to tou...
