Review- Annabelle SkinTrue Foundation




Truly flawless, natural-looking skin is what you can expect from this foundation. Its soft, matte finish makes you feel like you're wearing nothing at all, just beautiful skin. It blends easily to even out the skin tone yet feels extremely light and natural.
Thanks to its vitamin A, C and E enriched formula, it protects skin from free radicals, while the aloe, green tea and camomile provide it with nourishing, calming and moisturizing ingredients. - Annabelle Website

I must say this is my most favorite foundation that I've ever wore! I matches my skin perfectly, and doesn't enhance my dry skin. There are just so many positive things about this foundation! I don't break out if I leave it on all night, natural looking finish, and most of all not really expensive! I bought it for $7.99!

My Rating (Scale 1-5 1-the worst, 5-the best)
Quality- 5
Packaging- 4 - Wish it was a pump
How long does it stay on- all day
Would I buy it again- Yes!
Price- $7.99 and up (depends on where you find it)
Overall- I love this foundation! One of the best for sure!
Where to buy- Drugstore, department store

Review Soap and Glory~ Scrub your nose in it



Soap and Glory is available in the UK and Canada If your in Canada you can find it in Shopper drug marts. If your in the UK you can find it in Boots, Harvey Nichols, osos.com.

Ok so this product is very different, it's a 2 in 1 product. You can use it as a scrub or a mask. It comes in a 115 ml -3.8 us FL. oz squeeze tube.

Quite possibly the world’s most perfectly formulated scrub for large, clog-inclined complexions, our Scrub Your
Nose In It™ is not only an impressive exfoliator, it can multi-task as a mask. It helps refine large pores and prevent blemishes. Its special fruit-acid formula leaves skin looking bright and more radiant.
- Soap and Glory Website's

So I've been using this product for 2 weeks and I can already see a difference in my pores. I didn't follow their directions they say to massage into the t-zone but I use it all over my face. It's a gentle scrub and you can actually feel it go to work, it starts to 'tingle' after about a minute on the skin. It doesn't burn or anything. I haven't used it as a mask yet, just a scrub.
 

It's a really fine scrub finner then berry sugar.
When I first squeezed the product out onto my hand it reminded me of the cleaning product comet
I know I'm weird but trust me it's not comet!

What’s inside that counts?
- Diatomaceous Earth: a highly refined and purified earthy ‘dirt’ that gently lefts dead cells and debris while
scrubbing the skin and stimulating circulation
- Montmorillite Clay: a soft, white purified clay that absorbs excess oils
- Super Fruit Acids: to dissolve the glue that makes dead cells stick to the surface of the skin

Ingredients
Diatomaceous Earth
Montmorillite Clay
Super Fruit Acids
Parfum

My Rating (Scale 1-5 1-the worst, 5-the best)
Quality- 5
Packaging- 4.5
How long does it stay on- I'm gonna change to how long does it last- It will last you quit sometime if you use it as a t-zone scrub you only use a pea sized amount or a nickle for the whole face.
Would I buy it again- YES!
Price- $12.99 CAN
Overall- I really love this product! I've tried many and this one really works, I will continue to buy this product until they don't make it or sell it anymore!

Baby Oil not just for Babies

Baby Oil is generally used to massage babies with but do you know it's a great moisturizer for adults as well.
Keeps your skin hydrated all day, especially good in the winter.
Nowadays oil contains vitamin E and aloevera.
Below are some uses of baby oil which many women have been hiding since long.
1. Apply baby oil after taking bath while the skin is still damp. Damp skin soaks the moisturizer well and retains it in the skin well. Apply it on dry areas such as elbows, knees and heels to make them soft. In summers you can massage the oil while in shower and take bath .Your body will be soft like of a baby.

2.Baby oil is a great make up remover especially for those who have sensitive skin. You can even remove your eye make up with it. It will not only remove the makeup but will soften and moisturize the skin around the eyes as well. Also, removing mascara is the most easiest thing to do with baby oil

3. Apply baby oil instead of shave gel and shave your sensitive part of your body. This will keep your skin moisturized much longer than any lotion. This will make your legs soft and shiny too .You can wear any short skirt after applying baby oil. People won’t be able to keep their eyes off from your shiny legs. Apply in a moderate amount otherwise you may end up feeling greasy

4. You can replace your hair serum with baby oil. Serum is expensive and is required in small amount .All you have to do is apply couple of drops in the palm of your hand and rub them together and gently apply to the areas of your hair. Works every time and especially on a hot humid day.

5. After manicuring your nails apply baby oil on your cuticles . Moisturizer will settle down and will stop splitting your cuticle. Of course it will make your hand soft and gentle all day long.

6. Apply baby oil on your hands after washing utensils and clothes. It helps in moisturizing your hand and improves the skin of the hand by reducing friction from it. You can use it whenever your hands feel dry. It’s not a bad idea to keep it near your wash basin and apply it whenever you go there to wash your hand.

7. Mix baby oil with your favorite bubble bath .This will make your skin soft like a baby.

8. Apply baby oil whenever it is difficult to take out your ring or bangles gets stuck in your hands.

9. Apply oil on body before going out in winters. This will insulate your body and will keep you warm .

10. Put few drops of baby oil in your ears and remove wax build up easily.

11. If you are suffering from cracked heals then apply baby oil on your heals before going to the bed. Wear socks and get your soft feet’s within few weeks.

Now you know that baby oil is not for baby alone.

Spring Flowers Makeup Look



 Spring Flowers are going to be closer to us soon!
Here's what you need
e.l.f 100 palette- lime green and medium pink, orglamix- vanilla eyeshadow, e.l.f- hypershine lip gloss- joy, blossom, e.l.f brightening eyeliner- black


Apply your primer, then a pink base. Apply medium pink in the inner half, and lime green on the outer half. Leave the middle free of any color. Blend both colors into your crease, take a eyeshadow color the same color as your skin and just blend the color that is above your crease. Take the vanilla color or any shimmer white and apply it to the center of your eyelid, and under neath your brow.
Line your eye with black eyeliner, apply mascara.
Apply pink blush.
Apply a lipgloss since I'm doing my 10 pan project I used the hypershine in joy and blossom, a more natural lip is better for this look.

(10 pan project- lip gloss, eyeliner, concealer, powder, mascara)
