EveryDay Minerals!


Everyday Minerals!!

So for the whole summer, I've been coming across this website called Everyday Minerals. I'm sure everyone has heard of them. The first thing I remember hearing was that they gave free samples (all I had to do was pay shipping). I was like wow, that's pretty awesome. Just about $4 for 4 sample size jars of foundation and blush. So, ever so like me, I procrastinated and never got around to buying them. So finally I did, about a few weeks ago and to my surprise...I actually like them. I've never tried any minerals before, and after this, I think I might just switch over to mineral makeup (JK) but that's beside the point. Why I like them? It's very light weight and goes on easily. I like the concealer...it's pretty awesome. The blush, will have to take some time for me to learn how to sweep it across my cheeks, but I'm gonna get more colors that's for sure.
Probably the best thing I like is that, the 5gram jars come pretty full packed, so it'll last me awhile, before I get some more!!!

Urban Decay Primer Potion

I love this!!! It works well for the eyes as a primer. My eyeshadows become more vibrant and stands out more. Urban Decay promises that this primer will not crease, and what they say is very true. My eyeshadow lasted ALL day. I would definitely recommend everyone to get this.

Asian Eyes!!

What are one of the best features on an Asian women?, their EYES!!
Special attention is need to make them pop and look beautiful..
Simple products such as mascara and eyeliner will bring out the eyes
An their beauty will show!!...

CLEAN AND CLEAR???

Over the years, I've had my share of outbreaks and good skin....I have pretty good skin...not too oily, not too dry, but I do have what they call COMBINATION SKIN...and a sucky T-Zone....I've tried everything....All the brands from the low end and high end....sometimes they work, but sometimes they don't, so I guess this summer I quit...Water and Soap...haha!! but!!!!

So, for the past few weeks, I told myself that I need to clear up my face a little more!! So...I took a stroll past all the cosmetics at my local Walmart, and stopped in front of the Facials, Cleansers, and Scrubs....I looked at what I really needed, brands from St. Ives, Clearisil, Olay, Dove, they had it...so I did any mini moe and caught Clean and Clear cleanser! for me to take home and try......




This what is says on the website:

See fewer blackheads in just two days! This specially formulated cleanser contains Multi-Action beads to gently exfoliate your skin´s surface. The maximum strength acne fighting medicine in Blackhead Clearing Scrub helps clear blackheads and helps prevent new ones from forming.

So from looking at the item, it also says that I will get fewer Blackheads in 2 days.....wow!!
We'll see....I'll update.....oh yeah! I really want this!!

It's from Dove. It's the SkinVitalizer!! I want to try it out!! For anyone who wants to try it!, Dove has a $3.50 off coupon!! I think I'm gonna get it!!
