Makeup of the day: Coastal Scents

I know its spring and its all about bright colors, and pastels but with this crazy weather it almost feels like fall,  which reminds me of shades of orange, and brown. 
Best part, I received an eyeshadow sample from Coastal Scents and haven't used it and I have to say I love the colors! 

1.Deep Roast
2. Aurora Orange
3.Vanilla Sky
4.New Penny

I used new penny on my eyelid, and deep roast on the outer corner and crease of my eye.  I used Vanilla sky on my browbone and a bit of Aurora   orange on my lid, lashes and nude lips & voila!

 I decided to sample OWN Skin Health Refining Moisture Night Cream, my skin tends to feel really dry in the morning and some of the night creams I've tried leave my skin super greasy at night & in the morning still dry.  This night cream didn't feel super greasy and my skin absorbed it quick, I woke up in the morning and my skin felt so soft!,  This night cream also has anti-aging properties, I seriously love that,  I am 25 so a skin care product that helps preserve a youthful appearance is my best friend. Overall I'm very happy with this product with in 5 days my skin felt fresh, healthy, soft and firm.

I'm totally hooked! the OWN serum is simply ah-mazing.
Honestly  I was a bit skeptical at first, since I have combination skin I didn't want the serum to leave my skin feeling greasy or making me break out.  Well I couldn't have been more wrong, this serum feels amazing going on your skin and doesn't feel greasy at all and absorbs quickly, I've been using this serum for about two weeks and my skin feels and looks, healthier, and the couple fine lines I was getting on my are gone! I use this before bed and in the morning along with the OWN eye lifting cream. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the bottle, I am a bit clumsy and the bottle is glass and when you open it, its easy to spill so be careful.

The Kitchen Beautician: Lavender&Lemon steam

We all know that your skin needs to be make up free and clean before you start a facial, I usually put a warm towel over my face to help open up my pores, but I recently came across this steam recipe.
Steam opens up your pores, hydrates your skin.

What you need:
- 2 lemons cut into slices.
- fresh mint leaves
- lavender
-pot of water
- towel


In the pot of water add the lemon slices, mint leaves and lavender,  when the water comes to a simmer remove from the heat and let it cool off for about a minute.
Put the towel behind your head so that it traps the steam, I put the hot water into a huge bowl and lean my face over the bowl  (DON'T lean over too close!) just get close enough so that you can feel the warm steam over your skin, you can do it until you can't feel the steam anymore or until it feels comfortable to you. Pat your face dry and do whatever facial it is that you have planned..

Curly hair: Leave in conditioner

Finding an amazing hair product that leaves your hair soft, shinny and healthy always makes my week.. month.. year, having curly hair that I straighten about 2 times a week I need to nourish my hair. Well this past week I found this amazing little green bottle called MOA Curl vitalizer leave in conditioner, this leave in conditioner is made with
Melaleuca oil, Omega-3, and Argan oil ..(hence the MOA) this special blend helps replenish, nourish and protect your hair, leaving your hair shinny, soft and healthy, I use it every other day and my hair feels AH-MAZING!! and looks sooo pretty, it has this natural shine (no serum needed) my hair has been dry for some time due to all the blow drying and hair straightening.. so this was needed!! 

Now here is the tough part, I actually came across this amazing product at Marshalls for $7 but now I can only find it online for $17, but it's still worth it!

Review: OWN lifting eye cream

I’ve been testing out OWN skin care products, this is a new natural anti-aging skin care line.
Own skincare products use CLA  (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) its a natural compound from the safflower plant, its designed to enhance collagen levels, help improve moisture retention and leave your skin softer and feeling & looking younger.

First thing I tried  was the Renewing Lifting Eye Cream ($24) and can I just say, I fell in love. This fragrance free eye cream is easily absorbed, so no greasy feelings. I've been using it for almost a week now and I can already see the difference, my eyes look brighter not so tired, ( I need to sleep more)  I haven't notice the reduction of fine lines but Its been about a week.

Overall I am loving this new product, it leaves my skin looking and feeling smooth.

The Kitchen Beautician: DIY face Masks

I used Plain yogurt and honey in all 3 masks because they are great natural sources for skin treatments;
- yogurt contains lactic acid which helps reduce the size of your pores, yogurt also helps reduce oiliness and moisturizes your skin.

- Honey helps fight acne and wrinkles,honey tightens and helps brighten your skin.

1. add cucumber pulp, (use a fine cheese grater to create pulp.) cucumber helps soften and brighten     your skin.

2.Turmeric has a lot of benefits for your skin. It helps with acne as well as helping even out your skin tone and give your skin a natural glow.

3.Oatmeal helps strengthen and repair your skin, oatmeal contains healthy fats that help moisturize your skin.

Setting Spray

It's almost time to bring out the colorful dresses, swimsuits and enjoy the lovely afternoons by the beach.. yes! Summer is almost here.
Now as much as I love summer, my makeup doesn't love it as much. When the temperature rises well the makeup starts to "melt/slide" off, nothing ruins the day more then smeared eyeliner or mascara.
One thing we all need to add to our makeup collection (if you don't already have it)
                                           SETTING SPRAY

 A setting spray will help keep that perfect winged eyeliner well perfect, even on the hottest summer days, just spray on your face after your done with your make up.
I have the Ben Nye setting spray as well as the Make up Forever Mist & Fix setting spray.
There are other brands such as Model in a bottle and Skindinavia.

I honestly prefer the Ben Nye setting spray because it works AH-MAZING, and for $6.99 (2oz)
its not only and amazing product but it works well with my wallet.  So stop by Sephora and pick up a setting spray or go to MakeupMania.com and pick up a Ben Nye setting spray.

trust me you will fall in love with this!

Ben Nye Luxury Powder Review

I originally wanted to use this powder to highlight my face but I chose the wrong color and used it as a face powder instead and I LalalalaLOVE it, this powder is silky, doesn't feel or look cakey and blends in easily.
The only thing I didn't like was the oil control, I have combination skin so my T-zone gets a little oily and after a few hours it began to show.  I honestly think this powder is a MUST have, its affordable and looks amazing on your skin.

I purchased mine at MakeupMania.com

XOXO
