Model Co Ultra Shine Lip Gloss Rosie
  $16
- What the company says
     - Reflective, shimmering gloss that enhance lip contours. Non-sticky formula with a soft colour tint. Inbuilt mirror for flawless application.Slim and slender; the ideal handbag staple.
- My thoughts
        - lip-gloss in a not too pigmented pink color. It smells a lot like a sweet candy, its amazing. Plus it has a small mirror for easy application.


Manna Kadar Crème Blush Blossom
$27 for 8g
- What the company says:
       - Add a beautiful, rosy tint to your cheeks. May be used as a cream blush, cream eye shadow or as a lip gloss.

- My thoughts
   -This is a very pale pink color. Comes in a very cute squeeze tube, its not sticky and it spreads very nicely. It is a nice lip color and eye shadow. It's prefect for a minimalistic look.

Skin Perfecter Concealer #540
$19 for 15g
-What the company says
      -Creamy full coverage concealer blends seamlessly into skin and is packed with rich vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. Instantly conceals imperfections on the skin without drying or caking. Vitamin E revitalizes tired skin and treats puffy eyes.
-My thoughts
   - Its not as hydrating as I expected but it does cover darkness very nicely. It doesn't glide super smoothly if you are not moisturized. But I do like this and this company has never let me down

Mica Beauty Gel Brow
$35
-What the company says
      -It is velvety soft and glides on smoothly to create clean, fuller looking,
perfectly-defined brows.
- My thoughts
     - What I like about this is it has a brush built in, and it is easy to spread if you have a spooly.
what I don't like is the color its very warm brown compared to  my jet black hair. I wouldn't purchase this by myself but its a nice thickener.

DIY organic care "Dry Shampoo"

Are you tired of buying makeup? Do you want to make your own cruelty free makeup/ personal care? I am going to go on a push and use my own personal creations that are organic or as natural as I can. I'm doing this to help those whom care about the environment, and those whom may not be able to afford expensive cruelty free/ natural products.
 So this week I am testing the uses of my organic unsweetened Cocoa powder.

Hair:
- this is a great alternative to dry shampoo/ texturizer
              if you are a brunette. I just sprinkle some onto roots let it do its thing for a minute,                flipped my head  massaged it and I was surprised by the intense volume and the chocolaty smell.
 
             The smell has lasted for 2 days already and I can say I am really happy about that. Plus if its a little to drying for you  can mix in a small amount of coconut oil and it smells like heaven.

 

If you have lighter hair color you can mix some baby powder or all purpose organic flour and mix some in with the cocoa for an amazing smell and performance.

Best of all no animals where harmed in the process.

how to make perfume last longer

perfumes are wonderful things that helps us project ourselves to the world, and many time keeps us from being forgotten. All scents have their notes, but they may not all last as long as we would like, so we buy automizzers to help us refreshen the scent. But what if there was a way to make the scent last longer?

Here's what you'll need:
1- empty container
2-  Unscented lotion
3- a toothpick
4- A perfume of your choice

Steps:
 Open your little container that should be nice and clean. Depending on the size of the jar you might want to spray 4-12 times directly into the jar.
  
Slowly add a small amount of lotion and mix it with the toothpick for 40 seconds to a minute until  its a little unattractive looking and then fill the rest of your container with lotion and mix.
 
  If you feel that the scent is weak feel free to add more.

How to use:
 Apply onto hands, neck any surface area except the face, because of the alcohol contain in  the perfumes. Add the same perfume on top and this will help the perfume will last longer. and this also gives you the option to, layer perfumes. If you make it small you can travel with the lotion.

BabyFace by Its skin

I was interested in trying some makeup products from Korea. But I knew very well I am much too tan to us it. so I mixed it in with high pigmented foundation to block out the white caste. In my testing I tried out Its skin, Its silk foundation. Which was suppose to be a "clear" foundation to even out the texture of the skin.  Along with that I bought Powder in the darkest shade available Natural beige. Needless to say that was white.

Lets start with the BB Cream.
 This is suppose to cover blemishes, UVB and UV protection, and smoothing the appearance of skin while combating redness. But  its suppose to be oil
My experience
- this was a smoothing
- was blocking any redness
- did dry out my skin
- I would recommend this to oily skin
- I would use this as a primer not a foundation bc of the gray undertone.
Negative
- was pretty drying
- very grayish undertone

Lets refer to the Babyface Petit pack
this is the powder. They had 2 options light beige and medium beige.  went for medium beige.
- was very heavy coverage
- very cakey looking
- not light at all
- on the bright side the packaging was super cute
