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!!

How to: 5 Easy Steps to Perfect Eyebrows TUTORIAL


Eyebrows are one of the most important part of a successful  makeup, since they are frame of your eyes. No matter how great your eye shadow or foundation application is, your eyebrows have the power of either make or brake you whole makeup look. So today I decided to share a  very easy and fast  step by step of: How I do my Eyebrows.

Let's Get started:

1) The first thing I do is: Comb my brows.


2) I grab either a brow pencil or a brown gel liner. (Never use black, no matter how dark your hair might be) Then starting on the base of the brow and leaving about a 1/4 free of color in the inner corner, I go ahead a draw the arch of it. (Follow figure A.)
After that i basically do the same at the top. Making sure that i don't outline the eyebrow, since i'm not trying to make them thicker, I just want to define them. (Follow Figure B)


3) Then I go ahead and comb my eyebrow through, this step will help me blend any harsh lines (follow fig. A).
Next I take my favorite brow kit (E.L.F Eyebrow Kit in medium) and only using the powder part of it, I apply it all over my brows  (Including that first 1/4 in which I did not put any product earlier) with the help of an angle brush. (Follow fig. B). after that i comb them once again. 

4) For this step I use a synthetic brush and my glamouflage concealer from Hard Candy to outline my brow (top and base of it - Follow fig. A and B) This step is going to get rid of any mistakes I might have done and it will also help me shape them to my liking at the same time as it highlights my eyes.Last but not least: Blend, Blend, Blend!! (Fig. C)


5) The final result... defined yet soft looking brows!!

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!
