Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil Swatches and Review

I have been obsessed with jumbo lip pencils lately, they are just so convenient to carry!!!! My purse is already heavy enough with all the junk I put in there and throw in a couple heavy lipsticks and lip glosses and its like holding bricks on my shoulders! Jumbo Lip pencils have solved this problem for me so I've kind of been obsessed.

With that being said this is my first jumbo lip pencil that I am reviewing and let me tell you, the texture on the nars velvet gloss is as exactly as described.  It keeps my lips hydrated and and when I press my lips it feels like there is cushions in between my lips and it has pretty good staying power. It contains vitamin E, hyaluronic spheres that help to hydrate lips and phytosterol esther; ingredients that are known to moisturize and increase hydration.

My favorite color is Mexican Rose~! Here are some of the colors swatches.ightweight formula and enriched with Vitamin E plus a blend of moisture-rich hyaluronic spheres that make lips appear fuller.

Missha All around Safe Block Essence Sun SPF45/PA+++ Review

I have an obsession with finding the holy grail of spf's with PA+++ broad spectrum sunblocks for my skin as I am terrified of sunspots and wrinkles.  I still haven't found anything that I like better than my sunkiller clear water sunblock but this comes to a close second.  The texture is an opaque white but doesn't leave a white residue that makes you look like a ghost.  It feels very light but moisturizing on my skin and doesn't leave me super oily at the end of the day.  I think this would fit those of you who are combination to oily skin.  It doesn't have a slick oily feeling either but it dries to a matte finish which I LOVE.  The best part about the product is the scent...I LOVEEEEEE the smell of this sunblock I can't really describe to you exactly but it has a fresh not to strongly floral but very femme scent to it that is not overpowering. Overall I give this one 4.5 stars

Missha Aqua Gel Tint Review

Cherry Red

Scarlet Orange

Pusia Pink

I did a Missha haul and this was one of the items that I tried out.  I LOVE tints so I'm always on the lookout for the next new tint. Available in 3 colors I loved the colors on this tint and loved the packaging and it felt like the gel version lasts longer.  The price is reasonable at $10.00 a tube but this tint has a bit of a downside though....I licked my lips cause it was dry and to my surprise the tint tasted bitter!!!!! The smell is nice and light and the colors and application is fabulous but honestly I think the taste of it when I accidentally lick my lips turns me off to the product.

My Daytime Skincare Routine~

I had a request from a friend asking to show what my makeup routine is...so here we go.  This is just my simple everyday daytime look.  Focusing more on step by step on skip prep and the order of steps I take in my regime. Enjoy~!

1.  My motto is "Your makeup only looks as good as the skin underneath".  If your skin is flaky or dry, let's face it....your foundation is going to come out looking flaky and patchy as well.  Make sure to always hydrate and exfoliate your skin to prevent surface dryness and that flaky foundation look.  I recommend using a deep exfoliator such as Philosophy Microdelivery Peel once a week for a smooth and even complexion.

2.  Perfect Whip Cleanser: This cleanser takes off almost all makeup residue and leaves my skin squeaky clean without leaving it too dry and a little goes a longggg way with plush tiny bubbles.

3.  Obagi C-Balancing Toner:  This toner stabilizes My skins pH levels to reduce excess oil production for a clear, matte complexion. Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis as it diminishes hyperpigmentation and neutralizes free radicals. Antiseptic witch hazel purifies and minimizes pores while PCA provides lightweight hydration. Aloe vera soothes inflammation and evens skin tone.

3.  Sunkiller Clear Water SPF 50 PA+++ Sunscreen: This is probably the most important part of my regimen as it has a high spf with broad spectrum that protects your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays.  I love love love this sunscreen and no matter how many different ones that I try this one is the one that I always go back to.  I will write a review on this sunscreen soon.

3.  Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream: As noted in my earlier blog this is hands down my favorite BB cream of all time. It has a great glowing finish with medium to full coverage and it lasts all day.
