Heyyyy DOLLLSSSS!

OMG it's been for-freaking-ever!!!

It's actually been more than a year! Geez...I've missed blogging so much!
I was admittedly, a little uninspired and also extremely busy....I'm a MOMMY now! To a gorgeous little boy! The sweetest lil man EVER!

I hope you ladies have been well!

NOTD: Jordana Night Fall

Jordana has come out with some gorgeous new shades....they're all black with different coloured glitters...like this one has silver glitters....there are others with purple glitters, blue glitters, aqua/teal glitters, red glitters.....I'll show you all of them later in the week :)

NOTD: Milani Bolting Blue

Isn't this gorgeous? I feel like I've been wearing a lot of blue's lately lol but I haven't really lol...I just had on pink but it wasn't picking up well on the camera at all!! But I had to blog about this blue because it is soooo gorgeous! I got crazy compliments and ppl asking me what it was and all that....I think the camera tamed it but it really is a well...."Bolting Blue"!!!!

Clean & Clear and Baby Bottom Smooth!

The product I want to talk about today is none other than the above pictured, Clean & Clear Soft In-Shower Facial!

I bought this on Friday and HAD to try it out that night! I was so intrigued....it's supposed to detoxify, smooth and soften your skin.....who doesn't want that right?!

So I used it as directed, by applying a generous amount to my face, avoiding the eyes and let it sit for a minute. Then I massaged my skin to exfoliate (the beads feel like they are REALLY doing some good damage!!!) and then rinsed off....pat dried. Then you're supposed to apply moisturizer....but before I applied moisturizer I had to touch my face to see if this really lived up to it's smooth and soften claims......and MY GOOD GRACIOUS GOSH it did! I loveeee this stuff! Beats me as to why I took so long to try it but I'm so glad I did!! My face felt sooooo, sooooo smooth, like my title suggests, baby bottom smooth and moist!!! You are to use this 1-3 times a week so I shall def be using it tonight!!

It's oil-free & non-comedogenic too....and is made with natural fruit acids and works with the steam from your shower to deeply cleanse your skin.

Have you tried this??

Danggg I love this concealer!

Okay, I took this with my cell phone but check out my under eye area?!?!?!



This is the Cinema Secrets Professional Secrets Concealer. The shade is PS602S-65.

Lately, or ever since two years ago I've been on the hunt for a really good concealer....they've never had a shade lighter than NC42 in Jamaica (i'm NC42 btw) and so I've always thought about trying a liquid one or something, but those just don't work. I've tried using regular foundation with a lighter powder....all kinds of experiments, but I'm proud to say that 'this is it'! That movie was awesome! lol....anyway, I remember using a Suki Concealer some time last year, I used that till it was finished, and while it's all natural and did a decent job...doesn't compare to the coverage and brightness I get with this!

It is a VERY creamy concealer, with yellow undertones, that you only need a TEENY BIT of, because a little goes a realllly long way! It comes in a little pot like the MAC ones and contains 025 oz and 7.5gm. For this pic, I used a fluffy blending crease brush (not a dense one) to blend it out and then I set it with a velour puff and Maybelline's Oil Free Loose Powder in Light. Which I find gives added coverage because it also has a yellow undertone...think Ben Nye's Banana Visage Powder......sooooo this is my ultimate concealer combo now! :) I've always liked using a lighter, yellow undertone powder for under the eyes to catch fall out, and used to use the Milani Brightener, but that's been discontinued, so I've now found refuge in the loveliness of this Maybelline one... :) LOOOOVEEE ITTTT!


PS. The lipgloss is Maybelline's Wet Shine Diamonds Liquid lipgloss in Rhinestone Pink #20 and Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush l/g in I think either Strawberry Fizz or Grapefruit Blast on top! I'm in love with that maybelline lipgloss now, it's such a pretty yellow pink...that gives me that ever ensued natural light pink lip! :) Ya kno me! I don't see it on the website anymore tho...sucks...only Ebay etc.

Have a blessed day ladies!!! Thanks for reading my ramblings haha...it means a lot!

Maybelline Mascara Showdown!

On left eye (your left) : Upper lashes- Lash Stiletto, Lower Lashes- Colossal, On right eye : Upper lashes - Pulse Perfection and on Lower Lashes- Lash Stiletto
(click it to see it closer)
My lashes without anything on them :)

So my thoughts??

Of all three, Lash Stiletto is the one I love the most! It gives me lots of length and even volume!! I seriously love this one!!!

Okay, I'm trying not to be biased because I have the Lancome Oscillation mascara (thanks to DE from beautylogicblog.com - I won this) but Pulse Perfection didn't come close for me! I don't know if this is because the formula is waterproof...since I haven't used waterproof in a while, I have no idea if they are usually a bit drier in formulation than regular mascaras... but this certainly didn't give my lashes any drama! The button requires much more effort as well than Oscillation, and I could see this annoying some ppl. I mean I had to seriously use strength to press this thing, whereas with Oscillation you just barely touch it and its good to go! ANDDD if I didn't have Oscillation, I still wouldn't be over the moon with this mascara....I much prefer Lash Stiletto or my all time fave for Maybelline the Define-a-lash Volume! I remember the first time I used the Oscillation mascara, I almost jumped out my skin because my lashes looked sooooo false!!! Geez I got tons of length and volume...love at first sight practically....not to mention the wonders of going over the lashes after with the Lancome Hypnose mascara wand...now that for me is magic! I think my next mascara purchase will be Hypnose!



Colossal I didn't love the first time I tried at a beauty supplies store, but decided to try it anyway! And I must say it's really not that bad lol! I love this one too, maybe not as much as Lash Stiletto but this one impressed me more than Pulse Perfection....for sure! I know that in the pic I only have it on the lower lashes but actually, for me, this is where it counts! If a mascara doesn't make those lower lashes look like they came right off of a doll..don't even bother with it! LOL! I think Colossal did a much better job on the lower lashes than the Lash Stiletto tho, based on the pic especially! So...just goes to show, don't knock it till you tried it! :)
