Shopping My Beauty Samples

It has been a while since I've done a post in this series. I have so many samples that I need to use up and get through. I forgot sometimes to use them lol. I have used some that I am going to share today.Grab a snack because I am sharing a lot today!  Let's get into the reviews! RMS Beauty Makeup Remover Wipe Box It Came From: Ipsy Full Size or Sample Size: Full Size Price Point: 1.00 for one, 16.00 for 20 pack Review: I am always up for trying out new makeup remover wipes. This one was really different from others that I've tried. This was coconut oil based and I thought when I first opened it that it was dried out lol.I used to use coconut oil to remove my makeup and cleanse my skin at night. It really got all the makeup off and was pretty gentle on my skin, I think I would repurchase this.

August Monthly Favorites

Hey Guys!! Can you believe September is here already?? Where did the summer go? Well, its 94 degrees today so it is still trying to hold on. I usually do videos for my monthly favorites but my poor laptop is still in the shop and I'm hoping it can be up and running soon. So since I'm on borrowed computers, it will be a regular post. I didn't have too many favorites last month but I really loved these items and used them the whole month. Jesse's Girl Cosmetics Eye Shadow Primer - I got this at IMATS and this paired with my MAC paint pot works wonders. My shadows don't move or crease and stay all day. Jesse's Girl Cosmetics Pure Pigment Eye Dust in Flambe, Cafe Au Lait and Peek-A-Boo- I will be doing a more in depth post and review on the Jesse's Girl items I got from IMATS but I'm in love this these pigments. They are so pigmented and I love the container it comes in. It makes it impossible not to spill the whole container. Plus, they are so afford...

Review on Smashbox Full Exposure Palette and Try It Kit

Hey guys!! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I'm going to be reviewing a few Smashbox products in this post. I have purchased these products on my own or won them and this review is based on my opinion from using these beauty products. This post is very picture heavy, so let's get into the reviews!! Full Exposure Palette I won this pallet through Birchbox and Birchbloggers. They teamed up with Smashbox and had a Twitter chat on Shape Matters. It was discussing different eye shapes and how you would maximize your look and how to apply shadow. I was so happy to be one the lucky winner of this pallet because I have been eyeing it for a while. This retails for $49 and is so worth it. It comes with 7 shimmer shadows and 7 matte shadows which makes creating different looks endless. It also came with a double sided brush that I haven't used yet and a sample of the Full Exposure mascara that I will talk about later. These shadows are so pigmented and so pretty!! I u...
