Review: Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

I finally got to try out the The Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour foundation after about a couple of  weeks of it just roaming around my makeup kit.

Going back to a couple of weeks ago, i was determinate to find a foundation that would offer me both : Quality and a great price. After hours of search (yes! hours, when it comes to make up, i like taking my time. Reading ingredients, and pretty much any info i might find in the packaging) Right next to the Rimmel Stay Matte powder foundation, which i have been wanting to try for the longest time, there it was... It comes in six different shades and even though it was extremely easy for me to find my perfect match ( I wear a 200/ Soft Beige) I do believe, they r lacking in darker/deeper tones. 

 The packaging was alright, just a 1 Fl. Oz tube. Nothing fancy but 1000x better than the glass bottles with no pump. You get good control of how much product you want out.

I was definitely sold after i read that it was Sweat, heat and humidity proof for up to 25 hours! And that it was "enriched with a revitalizing mineral complex and moisturizing aqua primer, making the skin feel energized and hydrated all day"

To that last statement i can give my word that it is totally true, I could not believe how great my skin felt after I applied it! This foundation is soooo light, It did not feel like I had anything on! My skin was definitely breathing through it. The coverage was great for a day time/ everyday foundation, it's not full coverage , and it you have blemishes like I did, the first time I tried it, they will start peaking through in with in a few hours, for me it was around four hours but take in consideration that even though I was out and about, it was only 36-39 * F out!

I am really happy with The overall look of this product once applied, my face didn't look or feel cakey , nor shiny not even at the end of day ( 9 hours after application!! ) . It didn't sink into my fine lines/expression lines until after the first 4 hours but it was not anything crazy just a tiny little bit, like I said above at the end of the day it was looking great and I did not once retouched my makeup that day.

 I think this is a great foundation, at a great price (it only goes for $7.49) and will definitely be a staple in my kit for now on!!

Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masque Review

Today i decided to finally give a try to the Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masque, that i received in the Holidady VoxBox from Influenster.
I have tried many of their masks in the past but never really gotten a hold of this particular one.
When I opened up the sachet, the first thing that hit me was how incredibly good it smelled, i just wanted to eat it!!! Not just did it smelled like chocolate, it also looked like it! Yum!
 

I squeezed out some of it and applied it onto my face. It went on really smoothly but you kinda have to work it quickly, thru out your whole face, because it does starts to dry out pretty fast. 

I left it on for about a half an hour, until it was completely dry.
Anyway... I rinsed off the mask with warm water and the help of a washcloth and once it was completely off i went a head i gave myself a splash of cold water. One more time Montagne Jeunesse did not disappointed me I could definitely tell my face was looking and feeling great, it was very soft and fresh, my pores got a bit smaller, flakiness was also gone and my face was definitely glowy, I felt like those girls in the skincare commercials,  hahahaha.

Not bad for a mask that is less than $2 USD! If you ask me.
And just a little secret in between us: I can never find myself to use a whole sachet in just one application, so next week my skin will be receiving another doses of chocolate goodness! yay!

EBOOST Natural Energy Review!

Earlier this month after a very long wait, i finally got in the mail my Influenster Holiday Voxbox 2012, and one of the goodies i found inside was an EBOOST sample .

I was inmediadtly excited  since i am very into all this type of water enhancer powders.
I am also very curious/cautious about the stuff that i drink/eat/wear. so i went a head a did my own research to see exactly what i was getting myself into before i even tried it...
Well i found out that not just is an all natural product but that it also offers a bit more than any other product of this kind in the market at the moment! They claim to have goodies as:  Vitamin B-12, Vitamin c, Vitamin D, Green tea, Acid Folic (that has so many benefits), Quercetin, 5-HTP, Resveratrol, huperzine-A, among other things all compacted into one little envelope! I also found that the EBOOST is sweeten with Stevia  which is a plant not a chemical! and that its Gluten and Soy Free!
Anyway... it comes in two presentations: As an easy to mix powder and as a shot. And in four different flavors:  Orange, Pink Lemonade, Acai Pomegranate and Super Berry.

Ok, now... lets go on to my personal experience:
I purred my Pink Lemonade mix into a 12Oz. glass and let it sit for a few seconds to allow it to effervesce,

and then i also added a couple of ice cubes, just so it was chilled, because i am not a big fan of room temperature drinks. ( but i guess that its really up to your personal choice).
Make sure you also stir it up, to make sure the powder is completely dissolved into the water, before you start drinking it.

 The first thing in my mind as i took the first sip was: " Wow!! this thing tastes great!!". It was seriously just like having a real lemonade, way better tasting that those fake ones you get at restaurants and off course way better for you!. This doesn't happen very often where as the stuff that's good for you tastes better than the junk! and it totally comes from EBOOST not having any artificial flavors added!
Sugar wise, in my opinion it was sweeten perfectly , it was a happy medium, not too much to be overwhelming or too little to be too tangy or bitter.

Excuse my washed out face. (No makeup for this girl this morning! :)

It took about 15 minutes for me to start feeling more energized! I can totally see how this would help you not just in your regular life to keep up with the busy days but as a way to keep your workout on point and just make it easier and more enjoyable for yourself. I was literally bouncing off the walls with my little one, we danced and chased each other all over the house! hahahha

But anyway before i get off topic, i'd like to say that this "boost" Lasted for about four hours, and then i started to slow down, did not get sleepy, just simply started to be my old self, lol.

I think this would definitely be worth the investment, and when i say investment .. i mean it, since it can get a bit pricey if you plan in consume it on a daily basis. As it goes for $28 for a box of 20 ct. and $39 for a box of 30 ct. of the effervescent powders. Or $39 for a box of 12ct. shots!

The only thing i am not too crazy about is that it does contains Caffeine (which is what keeps you awake!)
But at the same time i think all the Minerals, Vitamins and super-Nutrients balanced out everything.

I can also see it being a huge help to reach my Workout goals, keeping my momentum everyday, in other words, giving me the energy to actually want to do it!

Overall, i think i would definitely purchase this in the future and not just that, but i would also recommend it to friends.
This puppy gets a 9 out of 10 Score, from me!
