La Creme De La Creme In Beauty

Friday, October 21, 2016

When it comes to femininity and exquisiteness nothing comes remotely close to Giorgio Armani's Si Eau De Parfum Intense. They have a flare for cultivating desirable fragrances and developing magnificent beauty products.


Giorgio Armani Si Parfum is their latest creation. It's concoction of Black Currant, Vanilla, Silky Freesia and Chypre Accord puts this fragrance in a league of its own. With its captivating woody scent many will find it enchanting.

Esthetically the parfum bottle is undeniably luxurious. It's pleasing to the eye as well as magnificently designed with gold detailing.


Giorgio Armani Eau De Parfum is extremely long wearing. The parfum consists of 20 percent oil concentration. Twenty percent is typically the highest rank in perfume extract. The higher the percentage of fragrance concentration levels the parfum has the longer the scent will last.
A couple of spritz on your neck or wrist is really all you need for an everlasting scent all day.

Giorgio Armani Eau De Parfum 1.0 oz / 30 ml retails for $75.00 dollars and can be purchased at GiorgioArmaniBeauty.com


Giorgio Armani Lip Maestros are ecstatically magnificent. They're described as a lip gloss but I found it to be much more like a lip stain. They are supremely rich in color and have incredible staying power on the lips. Matte lippies are usually drying but these are totally the opposite. These matte lip stains are extremely hydrating and moisturizing on the lips. Feels as light as a feather on my lips. So creamy and velvety smooth, it's like nothing I've tried before.


The Lip Maestro shade 201 Dark Velvet is what I'm wearing on my lips. It's a brownish dark vampy red. It's the perfect shade for the Fall Season.


The Lip Maestro shade 400 - The Red is a very vibrant crisp red and has a lustrously glossy velvety texture as demonstrated in the video.

Giorgio Armani Lip Maestros are retailed at $38 dollars and are available for purchase at GiorgioArmaniBeauty.com


With an abundance of shades to choose from you really can't go wrong with any shade. The shades are beautifully crafted and compliments every skin tone perfectly.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Primer And Blur Perfector Review

Thursday, August 13, 2015

Are you a Yves Saint Laurent makeup connoisseur like myself? If not, you might be after reading this post.Yves Saint Laurent has developed its first illuminating primer that can blur any imperfections you may have and boosts the radiance of your foundation.

#YSLToucheEclat
 The YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer is available for purchase at Sephora.com and YSLBeautyUs.com at the retail price of $52.00 for 1.0 oz size bottle. It's available in one universal shade. It's non comedogenic and suitable for all skin tones as well as for sensitive skin.

Before applying my makeup. I would prep my skin by applying the YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer all over my face. The primer gave my foundation a more flawless finish look. I have never seen anything like this product before. It magically diffused the look of my pores instantly. I was able to see an immediate change in the way my skin looked and felt. It made the texture of my skin feel smoother. My skin felt so very soft and it didn't even leave any greasy residue behind. It was as if my skin had soak up the primer instantly.

Your probably thinking, how can a primer be able to do all that? Well, The YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer is unlike any other primer. It is enriched with four nourishing oils. It contains Corn Oil, Apricot Kennel Oil, Passiflora Oil, and Rice Bran Oil.



This blur primer also contains golden sparkles of shimmer. The sparkles brighten and add supreme luminosity to my skin.

Being someone who has never used a primer before, I found myself irresistibly captivated by the way the YSL Touch Éclat Blur Primer made my skin feel and how flawless my foundation looked. I can honestly say I found my forever primer.



The Yves Saint Laurent Blur Perfector is another first for YSL. Encased in a beautiful light pink and golden compact it comes with an included black velvet pouch to keep it secure from any nicks or scratches.

 The YSL Touche Éclat Blur Perfector is also available at Sephora.com and YSLBeautyUs.com at the retail price of $55 for the .33 oz size. It's only available in one universal shade. This product is also non comedogenic and it's suitable for all skin tones including sensitive skin.

The YSL Touche Éclat Blur Perfector is another first for YSL. It's the first time Yves Saint Laurent has made a blur perfector beautifully package in a portable compact. Which makes it great for the woman on the go.

 
I found myself being able to use the YSL Blur Perfector in multiple ways. On the days I felt like skipping out on my foundation; I would simply sweep on the YSL Blur Perfector all over my face. I would also use it to set in my foundation and for those quick touchups to mattify any shininess that I would have throughout the day.
 
 
I found the YSL Touche Éclat Blur Perfector to be such a unique product. Within the compact it looks like a balm. Once I applied to the skin of my face, it magically transformed into a powder. I immediately noticed a difference in my skin. It instantly minimized the visibility of my pores and quickly blurred out any imperfections I had. It also gave me a slight rosy effect that completely illuminated my skin.

I must say that the YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer and Perfector were absolutely brilliant.

Glitter Me Girly

Monday, December 15, 2014

Oh Ipsy has done it once again with its November Glam Bag - Girl Meets Glitter. It was absolutely marvelous. There wasn't one product in the bag that didn't work its magic. Let's get to know this month's bag!


SIGN UP FOR IPSY HERE

If you aren't signed up with Ipsy you're definitely missing out. At only $10 a month, subscribers receive an awesome makeup bag filled with full deluxe and full-sized sample beauty products from top name brand beauty cosmetic company's.

This month's Ipsy Bag was called "Girl Meets Glitter" and it had me gleaming with joy.



From it's bright pink zipper (my favorite) to its nail lacquer look and feel, the bag was glittering with fun. This is definitely now my go-to bag to stash my girly girl makeup. Forever 21 is a clothing and cosmetics company which gears to a younger audience  and was this month's brand of choice to design such a pretty and girly makeup bag for Ipsy.

In this month's Ipsy bag I received three full sized and two sample sized beauty products. Inside I found the J.Cat Wonder Lip Paint, Be a Bombshell Eye Base, Temptu Highlighter, Elizabeth Mott Eyeliner and the Marc Anthony Argan Oil. Let's take a closer look at all these amazing beauty products.

 J.Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint

The J.Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint in the color Red Potion was outstanding. I was lucky enough to receive the full size which retails for $4.99. The lip paint's color is a little intense and has lots of pigmentation. If you're looking for a more subtle daytime look I would say a little goes a long way with this lip paint. So dab lightly. Increase the color as you go because the more you apply the darker it will appear. The formulation is very liquidly. You will definitely need to use a lip brush when applying to your lips. The lip paint also gives my lips a glossy effect.  Beauty Tip: I found that tapping my finger against my lips gave the lip paint a more even look. All in all I give this Lip Paint a thumbs up.



Elizabeth Mott You're so Fine Water Proof Liquid Eyeliner

The Elizabeth Mott You're So Fine Water Proof Liquid Eyeliner in the color Glitterati ($17.99 value) made a fabulous addition.
I've never liked liquid liners but this liner was different than the rest. It contains micro glitter which I just love. It gives any eye look a festive appeal. And with the holidays fast approaching it would be great to use. Something else that I really enjoyed was that it didn't transfer on my eyelid, it doesn't smudge or even fade off. It's an A+ in my book. 

Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray       

With this wintery weather and gusty winds at times I'm in desperate need of hairspray that can make my hair stay in place without the stiffness.  The Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray ($8.29 Value) was absolutely fantastic. It definitely did that and more. Unlike other hairsprays that have a not-so-great odor; this one had an amazing smell to it. It left my hair stiff free, with no stickiness at all, and didn't even make my hair frizzy either. Astonishing! right?! It gives my hair the perfect amount of hold and makes it look healthy too. It's also the perfect size to carry in my bag for those touch up days.
 
 
Temptu S/B Highlighter
   
I'm always looking for a new highlighter and when I saw the Temptu S/B Highlighter ($27.50) I was definitely a happy camper. I highlighted my cheek bones, down the strip of my nose, along my temples and even on the tip of my cupid's bow just to give that extra pouty look to my lips. It was subtle and effective. It gave me just enough shimmer and shine to give me the look I was going for. I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out.
 
 
Be A Bombshell Eye Base
 
The Be A Bombshell Eye Base in the shade Submissive ($14.00 Value) was quite surprising to me. I say that because I was able to use it in many different ways. It works great to use as a eyeshadow for a subtle daytime look or I could use it as a base color to build up an eyeshadow for more of a smokey eye look. I found it to be highly pigmented, long lasting and fade resistant. The texture was very smooth and easily glided on. I see myself purchasing more from Be a Bombshell Cosmetics.
 
As you can see, I received three full-sized products that totaled a value of over $36.00. It's an amazing deal. Don't wait and sign up for this fabulous monthly subscription.

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask

If anyone needs a deep conditioning treatment for their hair IT'S Me! With all the over processing of using heating tools and color dying my hair monthly Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask came just in the nick of time to help my hair out. I really enjoyed this hair mask. It has a creamy consistency and it smells really good too. The mask is fortified with avocado, sweet almond and argan oils. It's suppose to increase the hair's elasticity to prevent breakage and add shine to the hair. All of which I so desperately need. When I applied it to my hair I noticed my hair looked a lot healthier, softer and shiner. My hair is naturally curly and my curls had more bounce and felt really hydrated. This deep conditioning mask was amazing and when I run out of it I will definitely purchase the full size.
