I like this lipgloss a lot. The colors it comes in are really pretty. It is super glossy, with a nice minty feel and fragrance, AND it stays on for a long time (considering that most glosses don't have much staying power). I actually like the applicator, it is very each to use; even though I usually prefer brushes for my lips, this one is nice because you can really control the amount you use! The price is great as well.
As for the plumping effect, I am not sure it really plumps, but my lips look pretty good when I'm wearing it! Also, I don't like the grainy feel when I've used the ones with more sparkle, BUT there are plenty of shades/colors, so there is tons to choose from!

I think using hand sanitizer is really important (even though it dries out your hands, make sure to use a strong moisturizer as well!), but I usually hate the strong alcohol smell. La Senza came out with these anti bacterial deep cleansing hand gels a few years ago, and the scents are incredible. The one I have is periwinkle Passion and it smells EXACTLY like Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue (I kid you not!). I love it! -

I LOVE this foundation set. I bought it a few months ago, when my skin was acting up, and it truly helped clear my uneven skin tone (with the help of other products too), very quickly! I usually stay away from powder-type foundations, but the rave reviews on this brand couldn't keep me away from trying it (beauty junkie).
Here are the things I love about it
- build-able coverage.. it doesn't take very much to create a very natural look, but it can be forgiving to uneven skin tones
- it is so light, you cannot feel it!
- It stays on all day, doesn't smudge, smear, or look blotchy by the end of the day
- It is one of the most natural/eco-friendly alternatives for foundations out there
- it is fragrance free, and works well on sensitive skin
- it claims to give your skin nutrients and minerals (not sure if this is true, but it helped my skin!)
- has an SPF in it!
- matches skin tone easily
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the price, but it was honestly worth it! Great product- would recommend!

I received this product from the Brand for review purposes. After learning how to use it *blush*, I think this product is great! When I first tried this product, my lips were a little chapped, so I put on the 2nd step first (which is kind of like a chap stick) and then the gloss...5 minutes later, I looked in the mirror and I was horrified! It looked like my lips were tearing off my face (because the color I got was similar to my original lip color, just more shimmer). BUT after learning that the gloss must go on first, then the chap stick part, I fell in love! There are tons of color options, it stays on for the whole day, just make sure you re-apply the chap stick part. Also, Exfoliate Exfoliate exfoliate (before)!! It will work wonders if you do so. I would definitely recommend! -
MAC Cosmetics Powder Blush

This is by far the best blush I have ever tried out there so far. It comes pretty close to perfect. The color variety is fantastic, the product feels light (not cakey at all), it stays on ALL DAY! It does not smudge, it doesn't go splotchy throughout the day, it STAYS! Make sure you start with a little product, and build the color on the skin, as it is highly pigmented. For me, it is more of a splurge, but I think it is totally worth it- blushes usually last me a while! I cannot say enough about this line of blushes from MAC! -

I received this foundation from the Brand for review purposes. At first, I wasn't too crazy about it; it didn't seem to blend well into my skin, but I soon realized it was due to the moisturizer I was using. After going back to my normal daily moisturizer, the effectiveness of the product changed drastically! This foundation feels very light, makes your skin look and feel flawless, it does not look like you're wearing foundation (best part), and it covers/blends any discolorations in the skin tone. I would not use this product on acne-prone skin however. I do not feel it provides sufficient coverage for large blemishes, but it is a really nice everyday moisturizer! It did not make me break out or irritate my skin in any way. I would recommend this line to those looking for a very natural look! -

This movie is lustful, captivating, and indescribably sexy. Diane Lane, Richard Gere and Olivier Martinez make for a great cast! The chemistry between Lane and Martinez is amazing.
It is a simple story line of a married couple (Lane and Gere) who seem to have the perfect suburban life. On a windy day in the city, Lane litteraly bumps into Martinez and soon becomes obsessed with him. She begins an affair, but consequences soon follow.
I would absolutely recommend this film! I loved it!

I watched this movie for the first time on a very long flight (24 hrs), and I could not stop laughing on the plane. It made the ride go by really fast. Tina Fey and Steve Carell are hilarious.
Plot summary:
A 'boring' married couple from the 'burbs decides to spice it up and go out for dinner in the city. When they get to the restaurant late without a reservation, they decide to take someone elses'. The action begins here as the couple whose reservation they have taken are wanted by 'bad cops', in relation to underground crimes having to do with very powerful people (DA).
Honestly, there are a few parts of this film that I will never forget (i.e. Steve Carell strip dancing). I thought the movie was really entertaining, and truly a great Date night movie, with enough action, romance and Comedy to please everyone!

This movie is so adorable. I first saw it on a plane ride, and I couldn't get enough. It follows the first year of 4 babies lives from around the world. From Mongolia, Namibia, Tokyo, and San Francisco. It has almost NO dialogue, yet it keeps the audience entertained. It's Brilliant! It is also pretty amazing taking a look at the raising methods of parents from across the globe. I would absolutely recommend this film! -

I really like this nail polish. I love the diversity of the shades it comes in and the fact that it actually stays on for quite a while. I bought mine in a few shades but my favorite is Nude Chic. It is the perfect nude, that matches a variety of skin tones (with a pink-ish tone). Recommendations: Use a base coat. Put two layers on afterward, and for a super glossy finish, use top coat. The smell of this polish isn't as strong as some other really chemical-y polishes I've used before. This product gets a huge thumbs up from me! -
