Goody bag

Hello friends,

I am back with more awesome products to enhance our beauty and make our lives much easier. I will be posting a melting pot of goodies.  I have purchased these recently and would like to share them with you.

It is summer, and we need all the help we can get to feel better in our own skin, it's hot and muggy, and that makes things really bad for me, and I'm sure it for many of you also.
The heat is in, the frizz is out, the outbreaks, the blisters, the chapped lips, arghh!!!! Summer sure has it's beautiful mementos, but when it come to feeling good in your own skin, it takes a big fat air conditioner, a lot of refreshing showers and cooling fragrances, oh and plenty change of underwear...EIIKKKK!!!
Seriously!!!


Back to the goodies, because if I keep ranting on this heat, it will be neverending and...


Let the Goodies begin:

So what do we have here?

1- Caviar anti-aging Perfect Iron Spray: I liked the Alterna Anit-Breakage thermal protector so much, I bough the flat iron spray, it protects your hair up to 450 Degrees Farenheit!!!! Talk about boiling!!!
@ Sephora...


2- These two feel good and fresh fragrances from Philosophy are just what you need on a hot summer day, I use Falling in Love and living grace, they are perfect for everyday use, and I guarantee you, once you try them, you will always go back and check all their clean, crisp frsgrances, the variety is amazing! Some come in rollerball for convenient travel use...


3- Do you have sensitive eyes? I do...really bad. Bad as in if I walk into a smoke filled place or wear contact lenses, or have JUST ONE DRINK,  people ask me if I'm drunk or stoned, isn't that terrible and RUDE? 

My eyes, sorta...

I have allergic eyes, and I always carry around eye drops for this condition. I found this little magic eye makeup remover from MAKE UP FOREVER, SENS'EYES,  and it's great for sensitive eyes, and even with your contacts on, you won't have a problem. 


4- Got brows? Mine are sorta normal, but when I do my smoky eyer, or at least try to, I need something to make my brows stand out a little bit, this brow perfection gel from per-fekt, is all I need.
 I use caramel, user friendly, simple and good.


5- So, some days your face is all glum and grey, and you need to lighten up or else they will ask you if you are ill, this is the way to go, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, I use Luminous light. 

Everytime

Let the light shine through, we don't want people asking us if we were crying or if we are depressed. I like it very much. Lately I'm very into the lighting powders, I love them. 
Remember the Smashbox one I mentioned? It's a great option also. Use it with a blush brush on the apple of your cheeks, browbone, and some on the forehead, OMG, you will see the difference! And no, it does not make you look oily or shiny, no way. 


6- Ooooh....I bought this contouring blush brush, my expectations are high, I really need cheekbones, so, I just take a brownish blush or bronzer and contour, or at least try to contour my cheekbones with this promising Sephora PRO blush contour #74 collection brush...Let's hope for the best. I'm learning to use it now...


7- Va-Va Voom is the name of this Buxom Lip Gloss, I love it, I can wear it alone, and it looks awesome. Makes my lips pouty and shiny! The cream ones are really good also, I mentioned before Creamsicle, this has less spicy ingredients, but tons of shine! Full-Bodied Lipgloss.


8- Ok, this little bottle here, for me, is an Award winning hairspray, I've gone through a couple now, it really thickens your hair, like really. I love it. 
Bumble and Bumble thickening hairspray. You can use it on wet hair before blowdrying or for setting/hairspray on dry hair, it's awesomeness in a bottle. Gives you big hair.


9- eos lip balm: This is such a cool little pharmacy product, for 4.39 US$ you get supple, soft and beautiful lips. My new nighttable must. The flavors are delicious. This one is honeysuckle/honeydew, super sweet and delish ( you don't eat it).


10- This here, is literally gold in powder form. I love this Nars Silent Night Eyeshadow, it drips specks of gold, and it is beautiful. Lightens up your eyes, but be careful when applying, I am telling you, you don't wanna look like a disco ball, it's awesome, but proceed with caution, shiny and luminous. 
I'd recommend it for nighttime, for highlighting the browbone and the lids, and as I said, the little shimmer that falls is adorable, but don't overdo it. I learned my lesson. Try to put some loose powder under your eyes before applying, so if any excess falls, you can swipe it off when you are done.

Oops, got my hand in the picture

11- Stop looking for the perfect brown/dark chocolate eyeshadow, this is it. Coconut Grove by Nars.
It is great for contouring, and it is so neutral, natural looking! Just beautiful.


12- Sometimes, just sometimes, we all need to splurge...This Dolce & Gabanna Intense Liquid eyeliner in Earthy brown is beautiful. It has a little shimmer to it and I love it. The other colors are beautiful as well. Glam Eyes Intense offers waterproof technology that prevents movement or smudging for a virtually immaculate lustrous finish, reminiscent of silken thread. Richly pigmented, with beautiful metallic shades. I usually don't notice differences in eyeliners, but this liquid is almost perfect.


13- These are just great for those slingbacks that keep on slinging and getting off. Apt.5 soft strips for slingbacks, you won't have to bend yourself the whole night fixing the darn slingbacks. 


14- Yes, we've all had those terrible experiences with our beautiful shoes at a wonderful soiree, party or wedding, with our sneakers taking a run, walking the city, but this little stick, BAND-AID friction block,  simply blocks the friction and won't allow those nasty blisters to come out. 
I highly recommend it, specially if you are wearing your new Loubies  to a stand up party, wear this to protect you and don't loose your glamour, just DON'T...


15- Viviscal professional hair growth program: Recommended by a friend, they promise in 2 weeks or so, existing healthy hair growth, scientifically formulated with the exclusive marine complex Aminomar. I will be telling you about these in a month or so. My hair has been thinning out from all the damage caused by the gym and the excessive washing and styling, I really hope it works, NO, actually, I NEED this to work, my hair is doing terrible...ughh! 


16- L'oreal true match crayon concealer: Drugstore discovery!!!! Loved it. Blends in perfectly with your skintone and nice on your pockets!


17- Wow, this stuff is really good. Per-fekt skin perfection gel. It has smart color technology and vitamins. You pat it on and it dries up to a powdery sensation, you can use it alone, on top of your beauty balm, foundation, moisturizer, whatever, and it's just plain great. Let it dry a bit and it will not come off. And it's good for your skin. Leaves skin with a smooth airbrushed appearance. It improves skintone, helps mantain hydration, reduces the appearance of redness enlarged pores and fine lines. I really like this one. It's a keeper! 


Well my friends, hope you enjoyed my post for today.
Have a great one!
xo,
T.
