New Youtube Video: Review on the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal Lotion!

I feel like whenever I'm blogging, haha I'm always either munching on something, or am drinking something!  Well, like always, I'm doing exactly that!  Except, it's kinda of a more weird combination this time compared to last time!  haha Instead of just concentrating on one drink, I'm taking turns drinking two!  Anyway, I'm drinking a yummy box of Coconut Flavored Vitasoy Milk (my current favorite beverage!) & taking turns sipping on my hot water, cause I have braces and I want to make sure that my mouth is rinsed whenever I'm drinking or eating something sweet!  haha cause I don't want the sugar to eat up my bracket glue!!

Anyway, the whole point of this blog is to talk about my new youtube video!!!! Yay!  Last weekend, I filmed a Review on the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal Lotion!  So far I've been writing my reviews on my blog, and I just thought that it'd be a fun idea for me to film a video review, so for those who would rather watch a video than to read a blog post, this is perfect!  =)  And that's exactly what I did!  Let me show you guys that video, and then I'll give a brief summary of it!  

Click the Video Below to Watch: 

Below is a picture of how my entire thumbnail looks like!  

Besides talking about the product, and giving my own opinion on it, I also included a demonstration, showing everyone how the product works, so I hope that's helpful!  I also gave a detailed description of what Lanolin is, which is an ingredient that the Boots make-up remover didn't contain, so check my video out if you want to learn about what Lanolin is!  I think it's so so important to understand a product prior to purchasing it, and I guess despite me being a total hypocrite while advising that LOL, I got really lucky! =)   

Alright, so first of all, before I begin my summary, I just want to take the time to talk about my hair!  =) haha I trimmed my overly long literally non-existent side bangs  into front bangs...the day before I filmed the video, and yah so far I'm really loving it!  =)  Anyway, I'll include pictures of my bangs later on in the post!  

SUMMARY BEGINS! 

Alright, so it was probably around half a year ago, that I started wearing make-up more often!  As of now, I still don't wear my make-up on a daily basis, but I do it way more often than when I was in college.  Since I started wearing more make-up, I started using make-up removers to remove my make-up, because a normal cleanser is simply not enough to clean of my make-up! So far, I've finished up 2 bottles of eye make-up removers already, one of them being Estee Lauder's Eye Make-Up Remover.  I don't quite remember how that one worked, but it was on the more high-end and pricey side, so I decided to experiment with drug store eye make-up removers.  

My experimenting brought me to my second eye make-up remover, which was from L'oreal.  Despite me finishing the entire bottle, I disliked the product because often times, the product would seep into my eye while I'm cleaning my eye make-up, and would cause me to go through a lot of pain!  I'd end up having to drop my cotton pad filled with the make-up remover, and start rinsing my eye out with water even before I'm done cleaning my eye make-up off.  I really disliked using the L'oreal eye make-up remover...but I really don't like to waste things, so I endured the pain and finished the entire bottle up!  Here's a picture of the one I'm talking about!

Yep, that's the one I'm talking about, so nope I wouldn't recommend it!  

Anyway, soon after I finished the L'oreal eye make-up remover, I moved onto using the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal Lotion (because the name is so long, I'm going to call it the Boots Eye Make-Up Remover =)).

During the time that I purchased the Boots Eye Make-Up Remover, I actually had no knowledge of the brand!  A worker at target actually introduced it to me, and learning that it's dermatologically tested and oil based (which meant removing make-up from eye will become a smoother process), and seeing that it only contained 7 ingredients.... I decided to try it out!  I forgot how much it cost, but it costs $5.49 on us.boots.com!  It's a pretty good price for such a big bottle!  So far I've used it for a few months, and I'm not even half way done, so yep it's definitely a really good price for how long it can last!  

In my video review, I basically gave a super detailed description and introduction regarding the Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make-Up Removal lotion, and I strong recommend you to watch it if you want to learn more about this product, or if you are looking for a good and recommendable and affordable eye make-up remover!  

Hope this post was helpful, and yep haha remember to check out the video! LOL =P

To end this post, here are some picture of my bangs!  So far I'm really loving them! =)  ( I think I said that already....) 

I'm actually considering keeping them!  This is my third time having front bangs, and having this be the 3rd time experimenting with cutting bangs, I think my hair cutting skills are seriously improving!!! LOL =)  I wonder how often I need to trim them!  I never know!  And before I know it, they get too long, and eventually become side bangs again!  Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog guys, have a great day!  

Review On: Jordana Quick Shine TopCoat

If you guys love doing your nails like me, then one thing you might put an emphasis on is the quality of the top coat!

So what exactly is a Top Coat?  

Well, at top coat is basically an overcoat that helps set your nail polish.  After applying multiple layers of the nail polish color of your choice, the next step, is to apply a top coat on.  The top coat polish will harden as it dries, and it eventually creates a shield that prevents your newly polished nails from chipping, peeling, and getting scratched.  Everyone has their preferred points to a good top coat, but in general, a really good top coat prevents chipping, peeling, and scratches for at least up to 5 days.  lol there are even super good top coats out there that can have your manicure last up to 2 weeks before any visible chipping!  

IMAGE FOUND ON GOOGLE.COM 

Seche Vite's top coat is my personal favorite!  As you can see on the bottle, the words "DRY FAST TOP COAT", is emphasized on the bottle, and that is a huge factor to why I love this nail polish!  Seche Vite's Top Coat is one of the highest ranked top coats, but there is 1 problem that it carries.... it's expensive price!  It really depends on where you buy the top coat, but the average cost of this top coat costs around $10.99, which is pretty pricey...even more expensive than O.P.I nail polishes.  Anyway, it was after I finished my second bottle that I decided to try out different top coats, preferably ones that are less expensive.  

So Lets Talk About: 

JORDANA QUICK SHINE TOP COAT!

So one day, I was looking around a drug store around my area, and I happened to find the JORDANA Quick Shine Topcoat.  I actually ran out of top coat around that time, and wanted to buy a top coat to use temporarily.  One of the biggest points I look for in a top coat is how quick it dries.  I'm pretty impatient when it comes to waiting for my nails to dry.  haha I tend move around a lot, and before I know it, my nails are all messed up, which means I'd have to redo my nails!  That's actually why I liked Seche Vite's Top Coat so much, it dried within seconds, which was amazing!  

Anyway, I decided to purchase a bottle of Jordana's Quick Shine Top Coat, and I ended up extremely impressed with the results!

Above are some pictures of my nails that I have previously posted on my blog!  With that being said, I actually used Jordana's Quick Shine Topcoat with all of them!  

Review on Jordana's Quick Shine Top Coat: 

I really enjoyed using Jordana's Topcoat!  It definitely dried within 60 seconds (as told on the bottle), and the outcome looked amazing!  The outcome resulted in a very nice shiny flawless overcoat!  The top coat not only dried fast, but it also helped quicken the drying pace of my base nail polish!  I love using dark colors on my nails, but despite that, the opaque and dark colors take FOREVER to dry!  I realized that the Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat actually reacted with my base nail polish color, and aided it in drying!  

Seriously...instead of waiting for more than 5 minutes for my nail polish to dry before applying a top coat on, what I literally do, is paint all 5 of my finger nails with the color I like, and almost right immediately, I'd brush on a coat of Jordana's Quick Shine Topcoat!  And wallah!! before I know it, my nails are dried!!!! I'm serious!! lol  And this all happens in less than 5 minutes! 

Unlike top coats that keep manicures nice and unchipped for up to 2 weeks.... the Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat lasts a perfect manicure for up to a maximum of 3-4 days before my nail polish is visibly chipping! That's probably the only downside of this nail polish, otherwise, it's seriously a topcoat I would recommend!! =)  

2nd-3rd Day after applying Jordana's Top Coat!  

How it looks under the sun! 

After wearing my nail polish for around 2-3 days, my nails remain unchipped and very shiny!  I do see a blemish or two (scratches I mean), but besides that I think the nails look pretty well kept!  It was probably the middle of my 3rd day that my nails began to chip, and right now, near the end of my 4th day of applying my top coat, 4 nails are chipped, and 6 of my nails still look alright!  

I'm currently half way done with my this top coat, and one thing I realized about it, is that the top coat is beginning to harden.  As I continued using the top coat, it became more condensed...if that makes sense. I'm not really surprised, cause that's also what happened to my Seche Vite Top Coat.  Maybe it has something to do with a chemical in the polish that allows a quick finish.  Maybe because the nail polish is so frequently exposed to the air, it began to harden throughout time.  That's my guess though, lol let me know if I'm right!  

OVERALL

So overall, I would recommend the Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat to others.  Instead of paying $10.99 for a topcoat, I paid $1.49 (costs $1.99 on the website: here) for a top coat that definitely did its job!  For such an affordable and cheap price, I really didn't expect an amazing outcome from this top coat, but it definitely surprised me!  

So the positives on the Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat is that it is 1) fast drying 2) quickens the drying speed of the base nail polish 3) gives a very nice shiny and glossy finish 4) Incredible price! and 5) Does a pretty good job keeping the nail polish from chipping!  As for the negatives....1) Lasts less than 5 days before the nail polish begins to chip & 2) Starts hardening after half the bottle is used. 

Overall, I'm very impressed by the result, and I will probably purchase another bottle after I'm done with the one I'm currently using!  I hope this review was helpful, and please feel free to ask any questions! =)  

Review On: Revlon Renewist Lipstick!

So today, I will be sharing my thoughts on a few lipsticks from Revlon's Renewist Lipstick Collection! =D Yay!  

First and foremost, I would just like to mention that these are my current favorite lipsticks!  I've never been a lipstick fan.  I'm not sure why, but I guess as of a few years ago...when I was still in high school, I even envisioned myself never using lipstick!  haha well those days are gone, and now I'm a lipstick addict!  jk jk lol.  Anyway, lets get started! =)

Alright, so here is an image I put together (pat on that back =)), on the 4 lipstick colors from Revlon's Renewist Collection that I bought!  I'm not sure if you guys can see the names that I included in the picture, but either ways, the colors that I bought include (right to left): Lush Peony 080, Coming Up Roses 120, Cherry Desirable 210, and Plum Luck 160!  

Alright, so let the Review Begin! =D 

First and foremost again, lets talk about the packaging!  My first impression of this lipstick wasn't the best!  It's just natural for humans to primarily be attracted to an objects appearance, and I think as compared to other lipsticks from Revlon's Collection, the packaging for the Renewist Collection was lacking.  Here are some images of other Revlon Lipsticks.  

IMAGES FROM GOOGLE.COM

It's only my opinion though... regarding the packaging of Revlon's Renewist Lipstick Collection not being up to par, but what do you guys think?

Anyway, despite the packing, I was attracted to the lipstick, because it had something that other Revlon Lipsticks didn't have!  It had a moisture core!

Do you guys see it?

IMAGE FROM GOOGLE.COM

A constant problem I have with lipsticks, is that I don't feel like they give my lips enough moisture.  I don't think anyone...including yourself, wants to see anyone with extremely cracked colored lips.  Lipstick is supposed to add color to people's lips, it's supposed to be pretty, sexy, elegant, all those good terms, and when a person's lips are super dry, the potential outcome that lipsticks can bring just isn't there!  Therefore, I was determined to try this lipstick out!  

The result was amazing!  My lips felt very moisturized after using the lipsticks, as I will display pictures later on the post as proof! LOL  

For those who don't know what the Moisture Core is... The Moisture Core, is actually a ProCollogen Core, that immediately boost your lips to up to 80% of moisture!  In result, the user will have a smoother looking and of course more moisturizing lip and lip application!  Pretty good huh?  

Lets take a look at the ones I bought!  

1) LUSH PEONY 080 

This is how the color looks on me!  Everyone's lip color is different, so the color should look slightly different for each person.  I usually prefer redder toned lipsticks, but I actually really liked this color.  I felt extremely girly wearing it, and I was surprised that I was kinda able to pull it off! LOL 

Here's a close-up of the lipstick itself!  The picture of me wearing it actually turned out very similar to the color itself!  

Swatch of Peony Lush 080!  Looks a little redder than the actual lipstick color...probably the lighting!  Sorry!  

2) COMING UP ROSES 120 

This has got to be my second favorite color out of these 4!  I really like Coming Up Roses, because it was the least dramatic out of the bunch, and had a mixture of orange to the red.  The color was quite calming compared to the rest, and I think it matched very well with my smokey eye!  

Here's a close-up of the lipstick!  I think this lip color is one that could be worn with any make-up and outfit!  I love it, and it's definitely my everyday color!  

As you guys can probably tell, it has an orange undertone, and is much more similar to our natural lip color as opposed to Peony Lush 080!  

3) CHERRY DESIRABLE 210!! 

Cherry Desirable 210 is my absolute favorite out of the bunch!  I love the dramatic outcome it gives, and I feel like this color compliments me the most! =)  Ahhh  I can't get over how much I love it!  There are days when I don't put my make-up on, and right when I apply Cherry Desirable on my lips, my face just immediately looks more put together!!! Because the color it so strong, it gives a somehow concealing affect, and brings people's attention to my lips instead of to the blemishes on my face! =)  

Close Up of Cherry Desirable 210!!!!!  

 Color Swatch of Cherry Desirable 210!

4) PLUM LUCK 160

I actually like how I look with this color in the picture, but for some reason I just end up using this color the least out of the others!  I was surprised with the outcome!  I expected a very dark raspberry vampy color, but it ended up more red than I had envisioned!  

Close-up!  Don't be mistakened!  I do like this color, I just don't love it lol.  

And Here's a swatch of it! ! =)

Alright, so here is a duplicate of the first image above!  So to sum things up, these are the four colors I bought from Revlon's Renewist Lipstick Collection!  I love them, and I would totally recommend them!  I'm not sure if these are still in store, but if not, they can always be found on ebay.com or amazon.com!  

If you guys are looking for a good quality lipstick that is affordable and moisturizing, then Revlon's Renewist Lipsticks are the way to go!  There a many more colors besides the ones I bought, and I'm actually excited to get a hold of them! 

As you guys were probably able to tell from the pictures, my lips looked quite moisturized and smooth after applying the lipsticks!  The colors were pretty opaque, as opposed to some lipsticks colors that just don't show up as well!  I love these lipsticks so much!  As of last month, I actually went out to buy another lipstick of Cherry Desirable, because I liked the color so much, and was scared that I'd be too late if I waited any longer!  

I hope this review was beneficial, and feel free to ask any questions! =)
