Ulta Goodies

Hello everyone,


I know it's been a couple days that I haven't posted anything on my blog so I figured that I could talk to you all about some ulta goodies that I got recently. The other day, I bought a tweezerman eyelash curler, two NYX lip glosses, coconut lime body butter and covergirl lash blast mascara in very black. I've been using the eyelash curler for a few days and I think it's the best curler I've purchased so far. I said I think and I might change my mind after using it more. I'm weird that way..I guess I get tired of things easily. So I'll keep you all posted on the eyelash curler. As far as the NYX lip glosses go, I actually really like them. I like how it's a combination of a gloss and a lipstick. It's shiny like lip glosses but it also has color like lipsticks do. I got the beige (pinkish) and natural (nude) colors. I'll be using them more in my upcoming youtube videos. Now for the covergirl lash blast mascara....I've been using the covergirl lash blast luxe mascara for about a week. The difference is that the luxe one has shimmer. I bought it a while ago, I wanna say 2 or 3 months ago. I really like it. It doesn't clump after applying several coats.....so I figure that the regular lash blast would be the same so I bought another one. The coconut body butter is really nice as well. I use the coconut body items from the bodyshop and since I ran out of my body butter from the bodyshop, I really needed another and fast! If you all ever get a chance to try the coconut items from the bodyshop, ya'll will see how great this stuff is. I get the coconut bodybutter, coconut body scrub, coconut shower cream, coconut lip balm and anything else in coconut. If you can't already tell I love anything with coconut. So today I also got just a few more ulta goodies. They're having a good sale right now so I couldn't help myself. I bought 2 ulta professional nail polishes in crystal ball and silver lining. These colors are so pretty. I'll wear them in my youtube videos soon. For those of you that didn't already know, ulta did come out with a professional line of nail polishes along with the already existing ulta brand of makeup and nail polishes. I haven't tried any ulta pro nail polishes yet so I can't really say if they're good or not. Well this post is getting really long so I'll keep you all updated soon. Thanks for reading my blog!

Napoleon Perdis Review

Hello Bloggers,


I am finally doing a review on two products. For months I've been using smashbox photo finish foundation primer and I'm pretty pleased with the product. But recently I've tried out some Napoleon Perdis products. I can not say enough good things about the Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot pre-foundation skin primer. I love this stuff. It smells so good and it has kind of a lotion feel. The smashbox primer has a silicone feel, so to most people it feels oily. I don't think so but everyone has their own opinions. So I've been using the Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot for about 2 months already and I think I've found my new foundation primer. It has vitamin e which helps strengthen and smooth skin's texture, chamomile extract and yarrow extract which help fight free radicals in the air. I got mine from Ulta for $39 which is the only place you can buy this item. Of course you can purchase online or visit one of Napoleon's boutique shops. The other Napoleon Perdis product I've been using is the China Doll foundation. Let me tell you, this foundation is so good. It combines good skin care ingredients with a good coverage foundation. This foundation is $50 so you only need just a pea size amount to cover your entire face. I know $50 for a foundation is very steep for some people but I feel like it's a good investment for your skin. Just think about it....how many bad ingredients can you find in drugstore brand foundations? Probably a lot that would in the long run harm your skin. Not to mention that most drugstore brands have added oils that only do one thing....clog pores! I would like to do another review on the Napoleon Perdis foundation stick also sold at Ulta stores. So I will let you all know when that review will be posted.

I hope this review was helpful to some of you. Stay tuned for more reviews. Thank you for visiting my blog!

Update

Hello Bloggers.....

I just wanted to give you all an update of what's going on with me these days. Yesterday I finally received my coastal scents package that I've been waiting for. I ordered 3 palettes and 10 brushes from them. I plan on doing a review on everything I ordered. I will also do reviews and videos on some goodies that I recently bought along with my coastal scents items. I'm very pleased with my coastal scents purchase. I think you all will like any item you purchase from coastal scents. They're awesome!! I also bought some goodies from Ulta yesterday that I will review on as well. Today I finally bought my camera to do my youtube videos. I plan on starting with that soon. I know I said I'll have my channel ready for viewing in a months time. Well I think it'll be sooner than a month. I have my channel all set up, now all I need is to post my videos. Please be patient with me on this because I've been trying to figure out how to work my new camera. I hope that the information I posted a couple days ago on MAC and Too Faced collections have been useful to you all. I'm super excited to try some new products from both collections. Well I think I'm done with this post for now. I'll try to keep updating you all as much as I can. If any of you have questions, please ask them . If you would like to leave comments, feel free to comment on my blog! Thanks.
