Make Up For Ever HD Foundation

 I guess this week is Throwback product week, because I have just been loving some old favorites lately. Today I have a quick post on the Make Up For Ever HD foundation, this is a cult classic among ordinary people and makeup artists. This foundation is heaven and everyone need to have it!

This is a lightweight, odorless medium coverage foundation. It gives a nice sheen to the skin nothing to shiny or luminous that oily skin people would need to worry about. There is no SPF in this foundation so theres no worry about flashbacks in photography. This last on my skin all day with the help of a setting spray or finishing powders. I just love this foundation. I find for me that it best applies with a beauty blender or a flat top foundation style brush. It just gives a flawless finish.!

I love this foundation and have brought several of them for years, and I recommend this foundation to every one with all skin types and ages.

Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder

 Today I have the cult favorite and classic Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder! You would have to be living under a rock to not hear about this powder. I first heard about it from some YouTubers who raved about it being the under eye powder to give that highlighter glow. I immediately got excited and went on the hunt to buy. After having this for almost 2 years I've had my fair shares of love and hate with this products…Lets get on to the review!

 Ben Nye Banana Luxury powder is a finely milled yellow based powder, that will do either 2 things set your under eye area to give a glow, or simply neutralize your makeup. Now at first I loved this powder it was a dream come true because I use a lighter concealer under my eyes, so this powder just enchanted that. But over time the glory faded and the powder started settling in my creases and it no longer kept my concealer in place. After a while my concealer would go patchy and it just looked down right ugly. I thought maybe it was the concealers that I was using, but after changing concealer several times, I chopped it up as the powder so I took a break from this powder for about a year and have currently started using it again.

One of the my favorite things about this product is just how little you need! I rarely ever believe the whole "a little goes a long way" so when I do find products that live up to that statement I'm in amaze. Once again I am in love with this powder, it again is setting my eye area and isn't creasing or becoming patchy. I'm not sure what happen in between the year that I stopped using it, maybe it my skills of applying makeup that has gotten better or maybe I'm using better product…IDK! But this back in my makeup routine and I'm glad that its back working for me..
This is a a powder that you should need if you're into the the whole highlighter effect, or just looking for a look face powder.

Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque Review

I have yet another hair masque, but surprise I actually use this as co-washing conditioner. This is the Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque, I've been eyeing this product for a long time, but I've never been a fan of proclaim products, so with a recent sale at Sally's I decided to bite the bait. So is it worth it? Lets see!

Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque is a thick off white creme products that come in 16 oz! This product is supposed to be used as a weekly hair masque that you leave in for about 3-5 minutes to help hydrate and restore the health in your hair. I personally didn't like it as a hair masque. It has no slip, so its not slippery and it coats the hair really well, so you don't need a lot of product. As a hair masque I didn't find that it hydrate my hair for the the entire of week or keep it soft until the next weekly use. I did find that if you leave this product in pass the 3-5 recommendation, that it did a better job, but nothing life changing.

So you ask then why do I use this as a co-washing conditioner?! I co-wash my hair every 2 days and I find that this product really does hydrate my hair when used on a more regular basics. My curls are really hydrate and my braidouts/twistouts never look dry or dull. I've been co-washing with this conditioner for over a month now and I've barely put a dent in it.

Overall I do like this product as a co-wash conditioner and as a hair masque only if you have the time to leave it in your hair for a good length of time. The 3-5 minutes claim in my opinions just doesn't keep it with the claims that products offers. It is certainly worth trying and must have.

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

 Hello everyone I honestly don't why I haven't posted in 3 days, I've been testing out products and time just simply got away. Today I the Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara to share with you all. I've heard so much hype about this mascara, but honestly Covergirl mascaras have never really done anything of my lashes. So does clump crusher change my opinion? Lets find out!

Covergirl Clump Crusher comes in a pretty bulky bright green packaging. The wand has a nice curve shape to it with bristles evenly spaced out. Now the claim to this mascara is that it offers lengthening without clumps. It coats my lashes really good, it gives my lashes a nice lengthening effect, but there is no WHOA effect! It actually doesn't clump with just 2 coats on me, but like all mascara if you put to much it will clump. It wore really good it didn't flake, or smudge throughout the day.

I feel like this is a nice day time mascara, it doesn't give a dramatic effect, it last all day without flaking or smudging, its a nice everyday mascara. I like it, but I don't love it simply because I'm a lashy, dramatic type of girl, but its lovely for everyday wear!

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Strength Reconstructing Butter

 Hello everyone! Today I have Garner Fructis Damage Eraser Strength Reconstructing Butter hair mask to review today. The Damage Eraser line is the newest haircare formula from Garner Fructis and I'm a fan of Garner Fructis because their products smell so wonderful…so this this hair mask eraser hair damage lets see.

 The Damage Eraser Strength Reconstructing butter is a thick butter with a sweet fruity smell. It is instructed that you leave this in for 3-5 minutes. I never find that hair mask work in 3-5 minutes, so I left it in for 30-45 minutes with a plastic cap over my hair. When applying it to the hair, the product doesn't have a lot of slip, it locks onto the hair and spreads easily.

After washing it out, my hair felt like BUTTER so serious! My hair was so soft and manageable! Once I blow dried my hair, I very little flyways and frizzly spare hair all over the place. And my hair straighten out super EXCELLENT! My hair hasn't been this bouncy and soft in a long time from a hair mask. I just love this mask so much and I plan on picking up the shampoo and conditioner. This is a much try!

Milani Brow Shaping Clear Wax Review

 Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I have the Milani Brow Shaping Wax this is a new Milani product that was recently launched this year. I love a good products so lets find out if this wax keeps the brows in place!

 The Milani Brow Shaping wax comes in a pencil form that can be easily sharpen. Since this is of a wax so is a little hard to spread around. The wax doest dull down quickly, so this pencil will last awhile. Once placed on the brows the brows were pretty much bulletproof. The things that I like about this is that it isn't heavy and I don't feel it on the brows.

Overall this is a nice basis wax pencil that keeps brows in place. It's no flaky, and keep the brows bulletproof! I enjoy Milani products and this is certainly another good product from them!
