Make-up Review: L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick I Pink You're Cute

Make-up Review: Pinks and Corals..L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick

L'Oreal lipstick: I Pink You're Cute


A must have for any girl..Loreal's "I pink you're cute" lipstick #175.  I must say, L'Oreal's pink line is amazing in my opinion.  With the hottest summer colors this season being Pinks and Corals, this lipstick would perfectly fit into that category.





I found that the lipstick is not drying and goes on very creamy. Also, if you're anything like me, I love it when certain lipsticks have pleasant smells.  And this lipstick has a pleasant smell to it..similar to how MAC's lipsticks have a nice smell..a little weird? Maybe..but hey..it works for me. 

I picked mine up at my local Wal-Mart, and the price was about $5.97 (plus tax) there..but I know other stores like CVS or Walgreens have it for around $7-$9. It's easily accessible from any drugstore and guess what..they're very affordable!   

It's one of the 8 in the collection, and I plan on buying more of them as I progress..but if you are interested..here is a picture of the other beautiful colors.  They also have some lip glosses and nail polish that match. 
 
The only con that I can think of is the packaging..it doesn't look too different than the others in the L'Oreal line..but that's the only thing that I can think of.  I absolutely love the colors..Pinks and Corals are in this season, and these definitely will make your lips look luscious this season!
 
Don't forget about their other products that match!

Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream Product Review

Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream= Amazing!


Okay, so I had been hearing so much about Garnier's New BB Cream so I had to try it out and do a product review.  You can find it at any local drugstore.  I personally went to Wal-mart and bought it there because I was out and about buying more than I should have everytime I go to Wal-mart.  Anyway, I ended up buying Garnier's BB Cream Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector- Combination to Oily Skin in Medium/Deep.  I have tried other BB products like Smashbox, Clinique, and L'Oreal, but I really am impressed with Garnier.  First off, it was about $11 and some change..which was a plus as I am always looking for ways to save money.  Second, that it was in a nice sized 2 ounce tube. 

I did find that it is a little runny/liquidy..as I put it on the back of my hand as I applied it with a brush.  However, as I started putting it on I noticed that it was giving me full coverage.  I noticed that after I was done putting it on my face, that it looked and felt nice.  Not oily at all, and it looked natural to my skin.  I found that I did not have to wear too much foundation after applying it as it gave me enough coverage with the BB cream itself. 

I found that it did what they claimed it would do.  Fixed any discoloration, dullness, blochiness and any dryness that I had.  I especially like that it has a Broad Spectrum SPF 20 in it.  I saw that it minimized my pores, and it lasts throughout the day.  It's only been 3 days since I've started wearing it, and I can honestly say that it is the best $11 I've spent in awhile as far as any face make-up.  It primes the face already so you really don't need to much product at all.  I highly recommend it.  You will not be disappointed at all.  I guess the only downside would be that it only comes in two shades: Light/Medium, and Medium/Deep.  I bought Medium/Deep and it was not too dark for me so I was highly pleased with the results.   

If you are looking for a good BB cream, you should definitely try Garnier's product.  It's not as expensive as the high-end brands, and does a fantastic job and it feels great on your face! Even in the hot/humid weather while providing extra protection. You will see the difference in your skin and you will not be disappointed.  Big two thumbs up!

Summer Fashion Must Have: the maxi dress

Summer must have: Maxi Dress, trendy, boho chic, classy..and cool

 


The summer must have this season is the maxi dress.  You can find them in the latest fashion magazines, the celebrities are all wearing them..and frankly, they are just what you need to stay classy and cool this summer.  There are a bunch of different styles.  Some "hi-lo" style and ones with the slit up the sides to show off some extra legs. 


 
If you have fabulous arms, you may opt to get a halter style maxi dress or a sleeveless style to show off.  The maxi dress is so versatile that you can slap on a belt around your waist and accentuate your curves.  This will show off your hourglass shape.  You can also keep it simple and wear it plain, or accentuate the look with some jewelry.  You can wear a a long necklace or even a short one similar to a choker, some earrings..or a nice bracelet to add a pop of color. You can pretty much accessorize it with anything..but be careful of wearing too much accessory to avoid the "clunky" look.  Wear them with heels, or sandals..whatever fits you.  I've personally seen some wear them with some gladiator sandals which looked adorable.  Whatever style you choose, you will look fabulous! And it will keep you cool all summer long, nothing too tight and uncomfortable.

Where can I wear a maxi dress?

The maxi dress can be worn in the day or night, indoors or outdoors.  The maxi dress will have you looking polished at a casual event, for example a cookout or at a beach/poolside gathering.  Everyone will be wearing jeans or shorts..you can look elegant and classy in a maxi.  For an evening look, glam it up with adding some dramatic make-up or some jewelry.  No wonder why these dresses have been the Summer Must Have for all the ladies! They are so easy to wear and easy to accessorize.  Trendy, yet classy. 

Where can I buy a maxi dress?
You can purchase maxi dresses at any store that sells women's clothing.  I've found them at places like Target to high-end stores like Nordstrom, Belk, Dillards, JC Penny...anywhere in a local mall.  I've found some great deals at stores like Express or NY&Company.  It depends on what kind of style you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay.  Some can coast over $100 while come can cost about $20.  Just do some shopping and looking around.  To me, name brands are not that important.  I have a pretty tight budget this summer, so I try my best to look at stores like Target or Old Navy. 

Here are some that I found at OldNavy.com.  You can see their styles and current prices..
