Hi Everyone!

Today I am going to talk about the E.L.F Studio Daily Brush Cleaner. This is a GREAT product, it does everything it claims to. This brush cleaner is great for on the spot cleaning, it has a spray nozzle, it has a fresh scent, and disinfects. It offers you convenience because it saves you time without having to wash them then wait for them to dry to use again. You get a quality product at a price that you just can't beat! 

I always use this brush cleaner to clean my brushes, and it does a tremendous job, however when it comes to foundation brushes I would find myself having to use a lot of product. This is minute, any brush that you use for your face should be cleansed daily with a baby shampoo or any product of your choice.

Below is a before and after shot of one of my brushes I cleaned with this product:

                                                                        After

 The photos above are of my stippling brush that I use for blusher and bronzer. I love this product so much that I bought back ups of it, bottom line this product is good quality and it saves you money! I think that's something we all love :). 

Whats you way of cleaning you brushes?

Pros:

• Easy to apply
• Creamy
• Long Lasting
• Smooth application

Cons:

• Pricey for some

Hello Everyone!

As you all may know, nude lips have been trending for quite a while now and I don't think it would be disappearing anytime soon. If you are out there hunting for the perfect nude lipstick, this is the one! This lipstick is in the creme sheen finish,it gives smooth application and it semi moisturizes your lips even without applying lip balm prior to application. This lipstick does not claim to be long lasting but it lasts through eating or drinking and surprisingly it stays in place!

The only downside to this product is the price, not many people may be willing to pay $14.50 for a lipstick. If you are on a budget there are a lot of duplicates of this lipstick at the drugstore, some of them are E.l.f's Mineral Lipstick in Natural Nymph, Hard Candy in Firearm or Revlon's Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude.

Thank you for reading and I hope this review was helpful in making your final decision.

Pros:

• Provides the look of a top coat

Cons: 

• Not opaque 
• Chips
• Peels
• Cracks
• Does not apply evenly

Hey Everyone!

I hope you guys are doing well! I'm going to get straight into the review, this nail polish SUCKS! Maybe it's the color I purchased, I don't know but the quality is terrible. The claim of the top coat is true, it left my nails shiny and radiant. To get full opacity for this color it has to be applied at least three to four times, after applying the product, barely 24 hours passed and it was chipping and falling off of my nails. 

This is definitely not a repurchase for me, I would have to say this is my least favorite of my collection. One word to sum up my opinion on this nail polish is DISAPPOINTED.

What is your least favorite Nail Polish?

Tresemme's 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray/Hairspray

Claim:

• This product with Volume Control Complex gives your hair lasting body and bounce that wont ever fall flat in the middle of your day.
• Luxuriously soft and  touchable, this spray will never leave you with a sticky mess- even if you get caught in a rain storm.
• This light weight formula leave your hair ultra- shiny and manageable.

Hello Everybody!

Want fabulous hair without the uncomfortable feel of your hair being fried and unnatural? Then read on!


I'm sure you've heard about the Tresemme 24 Hour Body Hairsprays, here is my take on them. It was never my intention to buy this product at first, I was looking to buy the Tres Two Extra Hold Hairspray that everyone was raving about but at my local drugstore it was unavailable so instead I got this one. 


This hairspray is very different from the previous one I owned, different in the sense where the smell was unbearable. It left my hair with flakes that caused dandruff in my hair and left it feeling fried. Not this one! It's super light weight, your hair feels soft to the touch, definitely not sticky to the touch. I spray some product into my finger tips to put on my baby hairs, after applying, it does not leave a sticky residue on my hand. It does not have that chemical smell like most other hairsprays; it has a semi floral scent to it.


The  downside to this hairspray is that it does not stand up to humidity as it claims to, it also does not last 24 hours but who realistically wants hairspray in their hair that long? (Not me lol :) )

Overall rating: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 4 out of 5
Price: $7.99 USD 
Size/Weight: 7.7OZ
Would I recommend this? Yes


Pros:

• Light weight
• Non- sticky
• Does not flake
•  Leave hair soft to the touch
• Does not have chemical scent

Cons: 

• Does not last 24 hours
• Hair barely stays together in humidity

In conclusion, this hairspray is really good. It will be a definite repurchase for me in the future!

Pros: 

• Silky smooth
• Pigments true to color
• Lasts a long time without primer

Hey Cupcakes!


I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! Today I am here to talk about a palette from Sacha Cosmetics, some of you may not be familiar with this particular brand in the US but people from the Caribbean can identify. Just as a little history, Sacha Cosmetics was founded in the the country of Trinidad and Tobago (my home country :D) with the vision of catering for exotic skin tones like those of the ladies in Trinidad and Tobago.


Now, on to the review. I got the palette from my sister as a gift, I was beyond excited because I had heard so many good things about Sacha Cosmetics and I must say I was not disappointed. First thing that came to mind when putting on this eye shadow for the first time was "good quality", the texture sort of reminds me of Urban Decay eye shadows but it's not the same.You get 8 hour wear without a primer. What I did not like was some of the colors were not as silky smooth, it was hard to get true color and the fall out (minuscule with a quick fix of powder :)) 


Here are swatches of all the colors:

This palette consists of Greens and Neutral shades making it easy for every day use or formal occasions. It may be pricey for some but the quality is good and you get 14 shades for $25USD so it isn't all that bad in my opinion. All shadows have gold shimmer.


Here is a natural look I created with the Neutral colors from the palette:

If you are looking to try something different you can give this brand a try, if you do please let me know and if you own Sacha's products feel free to leave a comment in the comment section of your experience.

• Can create countless looks

Cons:

• Minimal fall out

Hey Everyone!

I want to start off this review by saying that, I LOVE this palette! It comes in 6 different shades, 3 matte and 3 shimmer. The matte shades are great for when you want a natural look for everyday or if you just prefer wearing matte eye shadow over shimmer. There is not a bad thing I have to say about this eye shadow, once you wear a primer before application the product does not fade and even without primer you get a decent 6 hour wear.  For night time or whenever you prefer you can vamp up your look like this smokey eye I created: 

Here are swatches:

This is my go-to palette and I highly recommend this! Not to mention at a great price!
