Physicians Formula Baked Smokey Wet/Dry Eye Shadow

All Physicians Formula products were on sale at both CVS and Walgreens this week. Since CVS was closer to me, I went to CVS and picked up Physicians Formula Baked Smokey Wet/Dry Eye Shadow.
As you can see, the shadows are shaped like a done and comes in a cute little compact case along with a small eye shadow applicator.
The shadows are also very pigmented! I tested it out and it has stayed on my lids for 8 hours.. yes.. EIGHT hours. Amazing!
With the 40% sale, this costs $4.79 down from their original price of $7.99.
This is perfect for anyone who is trying to create that smoeky look. Highly recommended.

Overall Rating: 5/5
Price: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5

Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion SPF 15- Sensitive Skin


Review on Olay Complete All day Moisture Lotion w/ SPF 15 for Sensitive Skin

I've been a loyal follower of Olay's moisturizers for at least 6 years.
What can I say? I LOVE this stuff. It's just perfect for my skin and I can use it day and night without using a separate moisturizer for my nighttime routine. I love how this lotion does not make my face too oil and just makes it feel so soft. It even has SPF 15 so if you ever forget to wear sunscreen, you won't feel guilty. This lotion does not make me break out but everyone has different skin so I can't speak for y'all. This product even has Vit. E and Aloe and is 100% oil free.

Pricing: Around $12 but it really depends on where you go. Costco has a great deal though. 2 bottles for only $15. So if you guys have a Costco membership, go there to get the better deal.

Recommended: yup. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this and I've used this for a pretty long time.

Got 2B Crazy Sleek Blow Dry Lotion 8.5 oz. Spray


Review on

Got 2B Crazy Sleek Blow Dry Lotion 8.5 oz. Spray


So I went to CVS today to buy a gallon of milk. As always, I'd checked out the beauty and hair section.
I've heard a lot about the Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray and has always wanted to try it out but after browsing through all their hair products, I decided on the Got 2B Crazy Sleek Blow Dry Lotion.

Price: $6.29
Quantity: 2

How great is that? From Nov. 9 to Nov. 16, all the Got 2B products at CVS will be buy one and get one!
Great for this recession we're heading into eh?

Let me start off by describing the scent. It smells fruity and amazing! I'm usually picky about the smell of hair products but this one really satisfied my taste. I love how it just smells so fruity and kind of orange-ish. But don't worry, the smell will not last all day. It does go away after a while.

So what do you want to do first?
Towel-dry your hair after washing and let it dry. You don't necessarily have to spray it on dry hair but this is just my preferred method. Damp hair also works if you are going to blow dry your hair.

Ok so spray the product onto your hair and distribute evenly. Then.. if you're straightening it, section off your hair and start straightening a section. You should see some steam come out but don't worry.. that's just the product. After that, you should feel the immediate difference in the texture of your hair. It should be smooth and soft :)

Would I recommend this?
Yes!! I personally think this smells better than the Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray (I took a sniff lol).

So what're you waiting for? Go out and buy yourself a bottle (or two) and test it out!

Physician's Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear Review


Physician's formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear Foundation.
So, what's the purpose of leaving the talc out? Well.. one thing is when you apply this, it won't give you a cakey look as oppose to other foundations that contains talc. It also reduces irritation and breakouts on your skin.
This foundation comes with an antimicrobial sponge but for my preference, I like to rip it out and use my own foundation brush. This works well as a concealer so you don't have to buy another product for concealing. It covers up my dark circles really well and gives it a nice flawless finish.
As for the price, its usually around $11-$12.. around the price of most foundation.
Check out CVS this week.. they're having a sale where you can buy one for regular price but get the second for 50% off. Rite-aid and Duane Reade also offer these type of sales regularly.

So do I recommend it?
Yes. Especially for Acne-Prone skin like myself.
I use Classic Ivory.. the closest match for my skin. But I'm sure Natural Beige,Sand Beige, Creamy Natural, etc will suit you better.

Any questions? You know what to do :D

Conair 2" Tourmaline Straightener with Straightening Pins


So.. what is this red thing to the left?
It's a Conair 2" Tourmaline Straightener with Straightening Pins!
I actually bought this 2 years ago.. at Wal-mart because I had a old Conair Styler which is purple and has all the different plates (crimping, waves, star, shiny, and straight). That one wouldn't straighten my hair and the crimping feature didn't work for me.. It just left my hair very dry and brittle! My first curling iron was actually the Mary-Kate and Ashley Straightener (haha) and that was even worse! That won't straighten a strand of hair and pulled my hair too. I can't say the Conair Styler didn't pull my hair but it just wasn't as much.
Ok enough babbling about my history with straighteners.
This 2" Straightening features teeth on the inside which is suppose to help your straighten. I really don't like that feature and wish I got one without the teeths. I found that it actually pulls my hair out as oppose to straighten it. Yes, it hurts which is why I don't recommend it. If you are on a budget and are looking to buy a drugstore brand hair tool, buy one that doesn't have straightening pins. And also.. buy one that is smaller because that can curl your hair too. Best of both worlds there.
I believe they have discontinued this product. (I wish I can write my history paper as fast as I'm writing this. Ok ignore this sentence) I got it for around $35 dollars.. I'm hoping to get a new and better straightener which is better for my hair. Still looking into it!
