Product Rave. "Lumene Finland: Sensitive Touch Gentle Cleansing Wipes"

I am back with a short product rave! I've previously raved about the Neutrogena Wipes in the blue package. I still LOVE those but I haven't gone to Costco in a while to repurchase the pack at a better price then they are sold in store. Anyways, my mom uses the skin brand "Lumene Finland" and purchased a couple of products and apparently she got two pack of these for free. She doesn't use make up on the daily, so she ended up passing them down to me. I've seen them at Target and CVS and they interested me but the price wasn't that appealing lol $8 bucks for a few, I was like ummm no thanks, even though i've bought MAC wipes for a lot more money lol. Yes, I can be a contradiction.

Anyways, I put them to the test to see how well they worked. I usually use two wipes of whatever I have to completely take off my makeup when I am using dark colors and lots of Mascara. I use Benefit They're Real Mascara and if you've tried it, you know it's not only amazing but that amazingness comes at a price. It's kind of difficult to take off. So I began with half of the wipe for each side of the face and I was instantly amazed!! They work so amazingly. I didn't have to use another one to completely take off my makeup. I was sold! They are very soft which i am not too crazy about because I tend to cringe when i feel the softness on a makeup wipe for some strange reason. But for those with sensitive skin, they are perfect!

These wipes do not have a scent and they definitely not hurt your eyes unlike other brands i've used. All in all, I say these are worth getting if you do use heavy makeup on the daily. They will definitely be worth the money but if you don't use that much makeup a regular baby wipe is completely fine.

I give them a 4.50/5  (just because the softness makes me cringe a little and the price is not too friendly for a drugstore brand.

Until Next Time,

Random "Looks"

I wanted to compile pictures of some of the makeup looks i've done on myself in the past but once I started looking through my pictures, I decided not to do any chronological looks because I wasn't too happy with the pictures themselves. LOL, you know us girls are super picky when it comes to selecting a picture that we like so I am just going to put up my 6 favorites from oldest to newest. I'll keep in mind to take good pictures of future looks so I can start building a portfolio. :D Enjoy.







Turquoise is simply my most favorite color to wear, so I am sorry for the repetition.




















































Until Next Time,

Drugstore Products "Show & Tell"



WHATTTTT??? B shopping for makeup at the drugstore? lol...yes, I am even surprised. As i've stated before, I have been let down many times by the quality of certain drugstore brands so I usually do not purchase anything from there. But I actually went into Walgreens to see the e.l.f. villains collection and walked out with one product which was from the Fergie collection put out by Wet n Wild. I then went in search for the L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense at CVS and I was out of luck, so from there I walked out with an Alway Liquid Liner and the Out the Door Top Coat (recommendation from MakeupbyTiffanyD). I then ended up at Target and did not find the friggin L'Oreal liner either. Since Ulta is literally next to it I went in to browse around. ARGHHH it was bad going to the prestige side, I really wanted to buy the Lorac Pro Palette but I opted out because I own too many neutral shades and I have both UD Naked Palettes. Didn't need anymore. Anyways I finally found the L'Oreal Liner I was looking for and saw an NYX eyeshadow in the clearance section that I liked so I totally got it :D
Coming back home, I researched a little more on the Fergie Collection and saw that it was only available at Walgreens. Going on the website I saw that all of the products were on SALE plus an they had an extra site wide 15% off! I decided to get 3 more products that looked interesting and took advantage of also ordering some e.l.f products that i've been meaning to try. Now I haven't used these products extensively (i received the order today ^_^) so I can't really say much on how they perform but I did do a smokey look with the Fergie Eyeshadows in "Dutchess Lounge" and the highlighter powder, along with the e.l.f cream blush. Picture at the end. So here are some pictures and swatches. I'll probably do a "Thoughts" blog on some of the products once I use them enough.
