Revlon PhotoReady Collection Review

• 
  

I was hand picked to sample the Revlon  PhotoReady Collection through Crowdtap. I received one PhotoReady Perfecting Primer and one Highlight (210 Gold Light) and Blush Duo (330 Nude kiss).

The Highlight & Blush Duo that I received came in the box that states 003 Medium. 

The Insta-blush come in 4 different colors they are Berry Kiss, Candy Kiss, Rose Gold Kiss and Nude Kiss.

 The Highlighting sticks come in 2 shades Gold Light and Pink Light.

 There are 3 Primers Perfecting, Brightening and Pore Reducing. 

I have been using all three of these Revlon products for about 2 weeks now and I must say I really love this collection.

 The first time I used it I didn't like it after applying my foundation. I had to wash it off because it made my foundation look caked on. After I applied it I put on my foundation I didn't wait. The second time I applied it I waited about 2 minutes than applied my foundation and it didn't have that caked on look. 

The PhotoReady Primer is light and airy. Applies very smoothly and blend into my skin wonderfully. It definitely gives me that awesome photo ready look! 

Now lets talk about the Revlon Hightlight & Blush Duo. These are now my two favorite products that I must have in my daily makeup routine.  

I love the color of these two products. They go great with my complexion. 
The picture before is before I blended them into my skin. 
Easy to apply you just draw a line on cheeks with blush and add a line either above or below your blush with highlight stick and blend into skin.  You also can apply highlight down your nose bridge.
The blush isn't too dark nor too light its perfect. 
These products last all day never needing to reapply.

I love the way my makeup looks everyday now thanks to Revlon PhotoReady Collection. 

My husband asked me one day if I did something different with my makeup because my skin looked as if I had a glow.

 I say if your husband notices your skin looks good stick with it. 

I received these free sample to test and review all opinion are my own.

I have been lucky to get into this bzzagent campaign and what a great way to start my day with a bowl of Quaker Steel Cut Oatmeal!

This was easy to prepare. You add one package in a microwave safe bowl add 2/3 cup water stir put into microwave on 50% power for 3 minutes take out stir and let sit a couple of minutes.

I really enjoyed this oatmeal as well as my husband.

 It was hearty and had a delicious flavor there was no need to add anything more.

Vichy Life Serum Sampling Review

          Can you transform your skin in just eight days?

I took the test using Vichy skin care Life Serum. I really like this serum. It has a thickness I prefer over runny serum. It's not greasy or sticky and has a light scent was easy to apply and didn't take long for my skin to absorbed it. 

I used the Vichy Life Serum day and night. I like that I could use it under my makeup without any irritation and causing my foundation to look or feel dewy. My skins complexion looked healthier and more youthful at my age thats a plus in my book! 

So yes in eight days you can transform your skins appearance using Vichy Life Serum.

The picture above is Caitlin with her free samples of Vichy Life Serum and she said "I really love this serum I don't really wear makeup during the day I just wash my face and apply Vichy serum. It makes my skin soft and gives me a brighter complexion."

Below is Kalya with her free sample I gave her. She liked the way the serum made her skin look and feel in such a short time.

Thanks to Crowdtap I received a sample and share package to test and review. Crowdtap also gave me five to extra samples to share with my family and friends. You can check out the hashtag #Lifeproofskin on these social media websites Twitter,Facebook and Instagram.

Paula's Choice Clear Acne Kit Review

My son took the two-week trial using Paula's Choice Clear Acne Regular Strength Kit. Its a skin care routine kit that included three products.

STEP 1

The first step was to use the Paula's Choice Pore Normalizing Cleanser day and night this cleans your skin of all dead skin cells and dissolves oil that can clog your pores. My son's skin is a bit oily and he tends to have break outs a lot. This does a great job of cleaning his skin.

You just splash your face with water take a small amount of cleanser and begin to face your face be sure not to get it into your eyes then rinse.

Step 1 Cleanser

STEP 2

Using day and night Paula's Choice Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution. This helps to reduce redness, kills bacteria and exfoliates your skin. You just take a small amount and rub into your skin and you don't rinse.

My son's acne especially around his hairline had a  lot of redness. Being in sports it made it worst all the sweat would run down his face.

Step 2 Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution

STEP 3

This is the last step in the kit. Paula's Choice Daily Skin Clearing Treatment. This treatment visibly reduces red marks, immediately reduces blemishes and leaves a  matte finish that can't be seen on skin. You use this take a small amount and rubbed it into affect areas and leave on you don't rinse. You may use this one to three times daily.

Step 3 Skin Clearing Treatment

Before                                 After

As you can see in his before picture around his nose area and forehead his has a lot of acne and redness.

I have to tell you this was a tough two-week trial because with most young  teenage boys they don't like to wash and especially not everyday. I had to always remind him day and night for the first week to use these products. What surprised me was the second week he didn't need to be told because he really liked that it was an easy routine and the redness from his acne started to disappear and his skin was slowly looking really good. These products didn't harm or irritate his skin in the least nor did they dry out his skin like some acne skin products do.
 The after picture he is a happier teen and showing why by holding up his Paula's Choice Clear Acne Kit. 

You can find out more by liking Paula's Choice on Facebook <- made it easy just click link. Also look up their current skincare and makeup products at Paula's Choice

Spring Cleaning with Arm & Hammer Review

Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda has unexpected secrets that I didn't even know.
 I discover it's not just for baking my banana bread or putting a box in my refrigerator to help eliminate odors.
 I tested out my box of Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda during my spring cleaning. I started with the bathroom using a damp sponge I sprinkle a bit of Arm & Hammer and scrubbed my shower and shower doors then rinsed anything down and dried it. It really worked well. I also used it on my bathroom floor by mixing a half cup of Arm & Hammer in a bucket of warm water my floor had a shine to it after it dried.

There are over 100 different ways to use Arm & Hammer Baking Soda some are cleaning your bathroom, floors,  laundry, freshen your carpets and even to unclog a sink drain. I love the idea of not using harsh chemicals to clean many rooms in my house now that I found  Arm & Hammer I have made the switch.
It $aves you money too for about $1.00 you can have a chemical free home that is safe for everyone. You can find Arm & Hammer on Facebook for  exclusive offers and information about Baking Soda and other Arm & Hammer products also check out the hashtag #BakingSodaTips

I received this free product from Smiley360  where you get to test and review wonderful new and improved products just for your own opinions.

True Smooth Coolway Review

True Smooth Coolway

This is a new technology that allows you to avoid using the flat iron. The True Smooth contains Coolways groundbreaking Amino Lock MAB molecule which is activated by blow drying your hair.

 While your hair is still wet you spray anywhere from 25 to 50 sprays and then comb through and blow dry your hair.

I do tend to use my flat iron almost daily so a product that claims to eliminate having to use the flat iron is something I want to test out.

After I washed my hair I sprayed it down with the True Smooth then combed it through As you can see the before picture is showing my hair wet and ready for the blow dryer.

It did make blowing easier and a bit faster and my hair did come out a lot smoother but as you may see in the after picture some of my hair was dried out. One of the ingredients they use is alcohol and that is no good on my hair as my hair is dry to begin with and alcohol makes it worst.

Before                 After

This product isn't for me but I would recommend it to my family and friends.

You can use code --> BeautySat14 to receive a 10% discount on all Coolway purchases at www.coolwayhair.com (not including shipping revenue and taxes)

e.l.f. Get the Look Review

                                                                   

This is the first time I have used e.l.f products I won this and other e.l.f products on Instagram from _funhairandmakeup 

 This box package is a five piece brown eye set. It contains 1 eyeshadow trio 1 liquid eyeliner 1 eyelash curler 1 eyeshadow brush & 1 mascara.

I love the eyeshadow colors!! They applied nicely and are bright & shimmery. 

I like the eyelash curler works much better then the one I own. I wasn't impressed with the mascara or the eyeliner. The mascara was a quite dry and I had to apply four coats to get the look I wanted. The eyeliner brush just didn't work as well as it should. 

Below is the Look at achieved with these products. I'm happy with this e.l.f get the look set.

This review was of my own doing and  I wasn't compensated by e.l.f cosmetics

Everything DoorMats Review

I won this Hot & Fresh Dark Roast Coffee mat  from Everything DoorMats .
 I used to have a small rug sitting under the kitchen sink that would move at times and make me almost fall. Let me tell you that isn't fun.
 My kitchen gets a lot of sun and the rugs I had would bleed the dyes onto my white kitchen floor. Getting rid of that dye is really hard to do so I needed to keep a rug there at all times.

I love my Coffee mat!!! It doesn't bleed any dye nor move under my feet it sticks to the floors beautifully.
The colors are bright and it easy to clean. Most of all it takes the pressure off my feet giving me that cushiony feeling when I'm washing dishes.

You should go check out Everything DoorMats they have Winter,Seasonal,Holidays and Sports door mats something for everyone taste. If you own a business there are mats for your company too!
These opinions are my own nor was  I wasn't compensated to write this review.

FlowerBeauty Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara Review

FlowerBeauty has taken this mascara wand to a whole new level! I was quite impressed when I started to use this for the first time.  This has a twist 3 in 1 which means you turn the top of the wand and you can achieve volmizing curling and lengthening. Its all in one really cool. How can they do that?!

This is how it works remove the wand and the wand will be elongated for lengthening lashes. Twist top counter clockwise into brush contracts into spiral for volumized lashes then untwist wand and comb through for full defined and lengthened lashes.

Here is the finished look.

 I love the way the mascara just glide on with ease and without clumping this color is Black. Its made in the U.S.A & the never test on animals. I won this product from http://flowerbeauty.com/ twitter account.I was not ask to do a review nor compensated.

Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway

I was so happy to do a review on Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. The first day I received Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil I was eager to try it out. I replaced my cooking oil with Gold Label coconut oil and sautéed shrimp for dinner. I really was impressed with the high cooking point it had. I like it better than the oil I use. It didn't have a strong coconut taste either.

I was very eager to try this out in my banana bread so I replace the shortening for coconut oil and it was a hit with my boys! ( That is the true taste test)

You can use it for frying, baking or add it to drink mixes, it is so versatile and easy to use. My husband and I add a tablespoon to our oatmeal and our protein drink daily.
