Purity Foaming Cleanser

First and foremost I would like to apologize for the lack of posts in the last few weeks! Life has been absolutely crazy! School just started again yesterday and between moving in, setting up my apartment and going to class, I have hardly had time to breathe!  Luckily though, I have had time to try out a few new products! One of which is Philosophy's Purity Foaming Cleanser. This earthy smelling cleanser seriously gets rid of every spec of dirt and makeup and on top of that it wont dry out your skin, talk about a miracle product! I have only been using it for about a week but so far my skin looks and feels great! If you like foaming products this is definitely the cleanser for you!

Make Up Forever HD Foundation Update

So this morning I hauled my tail over to Sephora to test out the MUFE HD foundation only to find that Sephora does not sell the HD in stores! You can imagine my dissapointment until the sales associate explained that the high lift foundation, which they do carry in stores is practically the same! She then helped me find the perfect (and ladies I mean PERFECT) shade of foundation to match my fair skin with a pink undertone! I raced home to apply the foundation with a Kabuki brush ala Kim Kardashian. To my surprise the foundation blended in perfectly with the Kabuki brush! Also the light creamy foundation provided great coverage in my "trouble areas" and simply evened out the rest of my face! Im not typically a huge fan of liquid foundation but this is definatly one that I would reccomend!

Its Finally HERE!

The new OPI line for Sephora has finally arrived and girls, I couldn't be more excited! Each polish rings in at approximately $9...what a steal! These polishes are formaldehyde free which is a definite plush for all of those of us who are environmentally conscious, also the polishes come in a wide variety of shades, making them a perfect fit for everyone. Personally I am drooling over How Cute is That a vintage pink coral and It's All About Me, a muted hot pink, but all 54 shades are gorge! Check out the shades at your local Sephora or at Sephora.com!

Make-Up Forever High Definition Foundation

Ok I have a confession to make...I have never purchased or even tried a Make-Up Forever product, I know, I know, I should be ashamed of myself. After watching the latest beauty video on Kim Kardashian's website, I fell in love with MUFE's HD foundation, it makes her skin look absolutely flawless, I just hope it does the same for me!  Kim and her make-up artist advise using a kabuki brush to buff in this foundation as it gives a nice sheer coverage thats lasts and lasts, just set with powder and you are good to go! While I love my Too Faced Foundation Wand, I am a little bit disappointed with the coverage it offers so I think I'm going to give this one a try! Let me know if you have tried it, love it hate it?

Review: Lorac Publicity Stunt Mascara

My second review from Sephora's Lash Stash is Lorac's Publicity Stunt Mascara.  This is not one of my favorite mascaras from the kit.  It doesn't particularly lengthen or thicken my lashes, however it did divide them nicely and made them look nice enough for day time.  The smaller version does not have the comb in the picture, however I really don't think the comb is particularly necessary, anyways, thats besides the point, this mascara is simply a "standard" product, nothing too special but nice enough for daily wear.  Look forward to the next review in the Lash Stash series.

Review: Blinc Kiss Me Mascara



Due to my recent stitches, I haven't been allowed to wear any makeup besides mascara, thus I decided to review all of the mascaras in the Sephora lash stash.   My first review is Blinc's Kiss Me mascara in black.  This was the first mascara I pulled out of the Lash Stash box and I was hesitant because of it's tiny tube as well as it's claim to "tube" lashes.  However, I was extremely surprised to find that this mascara not only "tubes" lashes, it also amazingly lengthens and thickens lashes.  Another perk is that this mascara seriously will not flake or even rub off! The only way to remove it is to use warm water and gently brush lashes upwards, some lashes require a little bit of pulling but otherwise its a cinch! This mascara makes my eye look wide and even without any other makeup it makes my entire face light up! This gets 5 out out of 5 from the college beauty addict!  Look forward to the reviews of the other mascaras in Sephora's Lash Stash!

Stitches

Hello Lovely Ladies! Sorry I have been so behind in my posting- I recently had a scar revision done on my nose and have not been feeling 100% and also have been unable to put any type of product on my face (very difficult for a beauty addict like moi!)  I promise I will have eye of the day and other reviews up soon!
