Laneige Brings a Gummy Bear Flavored Lip Sleeping Mask and Lip Balm - You need try it!

 *pr sample*

Hi loves! 

If you like a gummy bears then continue reading this post and well add new Laneige products on your wish list because you will go crazy for it. 

I been fan of Lainege lip sleeping mask for years now. And when I saw spoilers of them launching a new gummy bear flavored lip sleeping mask and lip balm I screamed! I love love love Gummy Bears and the Happy Cola gummies by Haribo. Yum! Do you guys like it too? If you do then this duo is right for you. 

Lip Sleeping  Mask - I think at this point every one knows and tried this products. I tried many sleeping mask in the past but this one on par with Bite Beauty, I been using constantly. The formula is easy to apply. The new one comes with applicator (wonder if the other ones comes with applicator as well coz I don't remember seeing it in the box), that makes scooping out much more easier then just going directly with a finger (guilty!).  This to me smells like a grape gummy bear. I guess that's why they went with the purple packaging for both. 

I used to use this mask both night and day time. Now since I also got the Glowy Lip Balm I use that in the day. The Glowy lip balm comes in a squeezey tube. It feels lighter on the lips and seriously a little goes a long way. Don't go to crazy or the product will "goop" up on the lips and trust me you don't want that. Flavor is same as with the Sleeping Mask -  grape gummy bear. 

Let me know if are planning to pick these babies up! 

Body Care with Sol De Janerio. Are the products worth they hype?

*pr sample*

Oh Sol De Janerio you so reminds me of warm summer days! With your delicious scent and your bright summery packaging. 

Ah heaven.

Sol De Janerio's most famous product - Bum Bum Cream. People seriously love and rave about it. And all for good reasons :) Bum Bum cream is a goodness in a jar. It tightens skin, makes it firm and fights cellulite. First off it smells so good, I mean really really good and you just want to slap it all over every day every minute. Sorry that is how I feel about it. Second my body feels so good when I slap it all over me. Yes it can be use on the whole body and not only your "bum" :) It is non greasy formula that absorbs quickly. And it supposed to help out with cellulite. But is it effective? I don't have an opinion yet as I just start using it but hear me out. It is infused with caffeine and creams like that might actually help firm the skin.

 According to Dr. Zeincher from Mount Sinai Hospital, caffeine can help minimize the appearance of cellulite by dehydration the fat, while actually helps your body break it down. As you didn't know caffeine is one of the ingredients recommended to fight cellulite (I am looking at you all Coffee Scrubs) but also is the key ingredient of tightening and firming products.  I adore this cream and well if you looking for body cream, lotion that need to hydrate and tighten your body, look no further :) Bum Bum got you :) Try it for yourself and join the "addicts"club :)

Sol De Janerio released two more creams: 

Acai Body Power Cream and most recently Coco Cabana

Acai Body  Power Cream is infused with Amazonian Acai Oil, the antioxidant power house in its purest form. It actively fights the free radicals leaving skin supple and replenish. Ultra nourishing Caupacu Butter, super conditioning coconut oil makes skin luscious. Extra fine mica flex give a beautiful peachy after glow. Smell so divine and absorbs just as quick as the Bum Bum cream. Skin feels so good and smells even better :)

The newest addition to Sol De Janerio family is Coco Cabana Cream ~ just as the name suggest it is purest coconut heaven. Sol De Janerio claims this is the most moisturizing cream ever, promising 72 hours of moisture just from one application. And why is that? Well fermented sugars acts like humectant to hold onto the moisture it draws in literally from think air. the more you use it the more the hydration lasts.

 Sounds great right? And did I mention the sweet scent that features notes of coconut, toasted praline and warm vanilla latte? Again head over to you local Sephora and try on this goodness:)

Then  there is a amazing body scrub, or should I say Brazilian Body Buff ~ a unique, first of its kind formula that works as a daily exfoliating scrub as well as a detoxifying body mask. Crush Brazilian Quartz Crystal help polish and smooths while soothing Amazonian River Clay helps purify.

 Use it all over your body: legs, arm, chest and of course your BUM :) It makes skin looks smooth and so glowy! 

And if you feel in love with the scent of the original Bum Bum cream you need a Brazilian Crush Fragrance Mist ~ I have two bottle of it and I don't care. The scent last so long and its so warm and reminds me of  tropical beach.  The scent last really long and I was obsessed with it in December. I dunno I was trying new perfume but my heart keeps longing for the Brazilian Crush Mist. It surprised me just how much my husband love it. He always compliment me I smell so good. It contains notes of Pistachio and Salted Caramel. Yum!

Sol De Janerio got also your hands, feet and lip covered. They just want to make sure all parts of your body are hydrated and they look good :) So I am also a proud owner of Samba Foot Fetish Cream, Brazilian Touch Hand Cream and Brazilian Kiss Capuacu Lip Butter. 

Let start with feet ~ the Samba Foot Fetish Cream is again so good! I am sorry if you came here to read a negative review or came to read me complaining about the products. Not gonna happen!  This cream made so much difference. My rough heels aren't so rough anymore! It deeply moisturizes and heels crack heels. And the best part it absorbs quickly and there is no slippery feeling. It makes me wanna put this cream every day.

The Brazilian Touch Hand Cream ~ oh the scent of this is simply amazing. The original Bum Bum scent is lock inside this tube. And its pretty strong, so if you have sensitive nose stay away :) It has really light weight non greasy texture that absorbs into the skin quick leaving hands feeling soft and ready to "play". Plus the scent is remarkable :)

And last and lot least is the Brazilian Kiss Capuacu Lip Butter ~ aka best friend for dehydrated and chapped lips. Ultra-indulgent butter leaves lips lookig smoother and softer thanks to infusion of Capuacu Butter, Acai and Coconut oil. This multi tasking product is prefect as a base for lip stain and liquid lipsticks, can be applied to cuticles and elbows to heal the dry skin and it can be applied to high places of the face to give a radiant glow. I gave my to my daughter as her lips are really dry during winter season and after using it for 3 days we notice a difference and her lips became more hydrated and more juicy :) 

How about you? Have your tried Sol De Janerio products before? What are your favorites?

New In ~ Perfect Summer Jewelry by Nogu by Joseph Nogucci

*pr sample*

Annnd I am back again with a new quick review. This time I will show you and talk about the jewelry pieces I got a while ago from Nogu Jewelry via Octoly. 

I was accepted and was send two pieces. A bracelet and earrings. 

Lets start with a bracelet.

18K Rose Gold Crystal Pave Gala Bracelet ~ base is stainless steel plated with 18K rose gold. The bracelet is shamballa type the closing. Two strings that pull out and pull in again. I like it, but it was kinda off hard for me to pull the string apart. I was really scared that I might brake it. but thank god it is alright now. The beads are the main focus of the bracelet. Crystals set pave style. I adore them! There are 5 beads in the middle of the bracelet, and guys when the light hits it, it sparkles! holy crap so beautiful and so mesmerizing! 

you can find the bracelet here. Also it is available in White Gold and Gold plating. 

Now the earrings.

18K Gold Gilded Wings ~ again base is stainless steel plated with 18K Gold. They are hypoallergenic, nickel free and made with surgical grade steel. The shape resembles wings and they hang on a fish-wire type of closing. It comes with silicone backing which for me is good, coz well I am afraid that I might loose them one day. silly but true... I had one pair of fish wire type of earrings, got tangled in my hair and somewhat somehow I lost half pair. I always put the some sort of backing on all my fish wire earrings. I wore them already many times and got lots of compliments from my co-workers. 

You can find earrings here. 

Both pieces by NOGU Jewelry are simply stunning! So very well made! They don't feel cheap at all. and I am a jewelry hoarder, so comparing to whatever you get at H&M or Forever21 this one is so much better and so worth the price! Each piece came with its own cute jewelry box, that slides open. I do like this sort of extras! not all the time you get cute box to store your bling bling.  You guys go check them out, the bracelet selection is so beautiful and I see few that I really like! They offer free shipping with orders over $25, and a free gift with orders over  $60.

K-Beauty Skin Care I been Loving Lately ~ 24K Gold Series by Maqueology and Morgan Miller Cleansing Wipes

*pr sample*

I love skin care! Just as much as I love makeup. Trying and discovering new brands its really fun :) Some products will work out some don't. 

I notice that I have in my skin care stash good amount of K-Beauty skin care. So I will share with you few of my favorites :)

The brand I will be mainly writing is Masqueology and Morgan Miller. I am not 100% sure but they might be some how connected coz when I got in the mail Morgan Miller wipes the sender was Masqueology. I will have too look more into that later.

Lets start with Morgan Miller Cleaning Wipes. I own three Charcoal, Avocado and Rose.  I love testing facial cleansing  wipes. Some work for me some don't.  These three are fab!  But I must say that out of all i prefer the Charcoal Green Tea ones. I think they are soaked more and smell better. But that is just my opinion. I do like the avocado and rose ones as well, but if I have to repurchase definitely Charcoal will land in my basket. Both remove makeup with ease and I just need one wipe to clean my entire face. Now I did review before DermaE wipes and their tissue was a lot thicker then this one. I do like thicker tissues but these since they were soaked better then dermaE they worked just as good :)

* Charcoal Green Tea ~ pre-moistened , gentle and soft wipes. Charcoal removes chemical and toxins. When activated charcoal is applies to the surface of the skin it draws out the bacteria, pollutants and other harmful particles trapped underneath the skin. Green Tea extract acts as antioxidant that protects skin form damaging effects brought by pollutants and harmful elements.  ($9 for 60 wipes. get it here)

* Avocado ~ is packed with vitamins such as Vitamin C and E, that are essential for keeping skin healthy. It have an antioxidant properties which rid the skin of free radicals. ($9 for 60 wipes, get it here)

* Rose and Chamomile ~ the rose and chamomile formula helps  hydrate and reduce swelling of the skin. Rose have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce redness and swelling of the skin and also acts like a moisturizer. Chamomile contains essential oils and skin treating properties such as  anti-inflammatory , anti-fungal, antiseptic, and antioxidants. It also acts like a natural moisturizer that brings back the glow. Out of all these have the most beautiful packing. But I like these least coz of the very strong rose scent. I don't mind rose scented products, but this one was just too much. ($9 for 60 wipes, get it here)

Now, Masqueology. Korean brand that is affordable and can be found at Walmart.
I reviewed before their 24K under eye gels and now I will share my opinion on rest of the 24K products. The gold have been very popular in skin care for many years. They said even in ancient Egypt, Cleopatra would put gold on her face to keep her skin radiant and young.
Gold have many benefits like increase elasticity, collagen depletion, lightness skin complexion, stimulate the cells making the skin firm, improves blood circulation, and prevents pre-mature aging.

* 24K Gold Serum ~ is an anti-aging formulation to give moisture and elasticity to the skin while helping to restore the skin youthful complexion. It leaves skin smooth and refreshed.  I love the beautiful glass bottle it comes with. Feel really luxury! It comes with a droplet as any other serum would. It have gold flakes in it. And it looks so beautiful! Little gold sparkles in clear liquid it takes my breath away! The serum sinks into the skin and leaves nice radiant look. These are scented just like the whole line is but unfortunately this scent I hate. ( $18, purchase it here and Walmart)

* 24K Gold Gold Cream with shimmer  ~  first off it smells better then the serum and again beautiful packaging, that feels luxurious.  The cream is formulated with gold and hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin for maximum moisture while gold pearls give all over sun kissed glow. Vitamin A and E gives instant illumination for healthy looking skin while helping against fine lines and wrinkles. Now this packs a lot of shimmer on my face. I use it more often at night time, but if I need a radiant glow-y look I will apply it under neath my foundation and voila! But yeah, if you are someone who don't like the shimmer or any kind of sparkle on your face, stay away from this creme. It will make you shine like a disco ball :)  ( $18, purchase here and Walmart)

* 24K Gold Eye Cream ~ with gold and adenosine will work to lift the eye area while helping against wrinkles and fine lines. I be honest I haven't use this one a lot. But just as a creme is packed with shimmer and it makes my under eyes bright. Again I will be using mostly night time, coz of all that shimmer. If you ask, the shimmer wash off easily.  ($$16, purchase here and Walmart)

Just fyi I added links directly to a retailer but it is way cheaper at Walmart. Over all I really enjoy this line. Beautifully packaged, affordable and well works great! Looking forward trying more products by the brand in near future.

Lancome L'absolu Rouge Lipsticks and Matte Shakers ~ swatches and review

*pr sample*

I get so excited every time I see Lancome products in Octoly store. 

Lancome is so good to me! Thank you so much for accepting and sending me all your wonderful products for the review.  It means a lot for a small blogger like me. 

This is not my first review of Lancome products on my blog. In the past I reviewed their color correctors (click here) and L'absolu Lipsticks (click here).

Also at some point I will be reviewing the Absolute Powders and Eye Cream :) 

Today I will be reviewing both L'absolu and Matte Shakers lippies. 

This time all my L'absolu Rouge lipstick came in cream finish. aside from matte, cream is my favorite. 

The lipsticks are really opaque and feel hydrating  on the lips. I really adore this formula.  Lipsticks wear pretty long and there is no need to reapply often.  there is about 44 shades in range so for sure you find something for yourself 

Shades I got:

* Beige Mirage ~ very pretty nudy beige with slight peachy undertones. I love this color , It look so pretty on its own and over a lip liner. Definitely one of my go to nudes. 

* Exotic Orchid ~ another my favorite. And I think this will be my most wearable color.  I would describe it as a nude rosy shade with hints of mauve. Kinda your lips but better :)  Out off Lancome lipsticks I won this one is by far my favorite. 

* Impatiente ~ This lippie unfortunately got stabbed with my nail.. ugh  clumsy me. Impatiente is this orangey red that personally I feel that don't look good on me :(...  There is something about the orange undertone that I cant pull it off.. yeah  thats how I feel.  If You ask my hubby and he will tell you that he dont care, I look good in any color :) Gotta love him ! Aside that slight orange undertone I will def will be wearing this beauty. Like I said this formula is really good. 

* Absolute Rouge ~ this creamy bright red with hints of pink in it.  Classic red that every girl needs. Beautiful and very wearable. This color and classic black wing liner and you good to go.  I do love red lips If I could I could be wearing red lipstick every day :) 

L'absolu rouge lipsticks are simply great. I love very comfortable formula and pigmentation. The do have a very nice scent to them . I do like scented makeup products, I dunno I know some people don't :) I mean come on whats not to love. They are luxurious, creamy and long lasting. I am eyeing one shade from this range. I swatched in sephora few weeks ago and fell in love :) Now hubby gotta pull out big bucks and get me that lipsticks.

Matte Shakers, a follow up to their glossy Juicy Shakers. Comes in the same cute cocktail shaker inspired tube.  The unique cushion sponge applicator allows maximum absorption. as for me  it is  really hard  to apply on the lips. Especially with darker colors. It gets messy  all over. I have to use a brush to clean up the edges.  The formula is really lightweight but really pigmented.  For me they do feel more like a lip stain than matte liquid lipstick. It take about 15 min for  the color to dry on the lips, once it does its transfer and kiss proof, plus you don't even feel the lipstick on the lips at all.   Formula contains water and oil so you have to shake to tube ( you will hear beads jumping in it ). The shake allows for the water and oil to mix up first. Do that before applying.  They do feel hydrating on the lips thanks to Vitamin E :)

 a little note: I didn't shacked Magic Orange, you can see how sheer is it on the swatch below.  And than there is another swatch of it once I shook the tube. 

There are 7 colors in the collection . The Shades I got:

* Beige Vintage ~ ummm hello! my new FAVE! I know I have a lot of faves lately. But this color is so pretty. warm dusty rose. Its is so flattering on my lips :) I love colors like that. 

* Energy Peach ~ beautiful classy peach shade. I don't own many peach lipsticks, one of my faves is Just Peachy by wet n wild, and since than I don't really reach for peachy shades often. This one is really pretty and looks beautiful on :)

* Magic Orange ~ when i first swatched it I was disappointed coz it was really sheer... but well I didn't shake the tube  so there was no color, but ... after i did OMG that orange is so bright and fun! I does look a lot brighter in the tube than on the lips. It is bright but not that bright  LOL .. you know what I am saying hahah  ...Wish I could pull off orange lips :( but yeah such a fun summer shade 

Here is a better swatch of Magic Orange. It does look better on the lips tho. :)

The last matte shaker was send to me before , but I thought why not include it in this post :)

.* Kiss Me Cherie ~ beautiful blue based red   and yes i love blue based reds. This one is like a berry kind of red that will look gorgeous on anyone :)

Aside of that big sponge applicator I really like them. If I am not mistaking they retail something around $22 which is not bad at all.

Thanks Lancome and Octoly ! Products were send for my honest review. 

Lancôme L' Absolu Rouge - Hydrating Shaping Lipstick ~ swatches and review

*pr sample*

L' Absolu Rouge Lipsticks are simply divine. After 25 years they got  they got re-vamped and come in new black sleek, click-to-close tube. Don't worry there is an instruction on the box. I admit was a bit confused and had no clue how to opened it LOL. The tube is sleek lacquer with signature Lancome rose as a gold domed seal on the cap- with just one push of the rose , the lipstick is revealed.  The L'Absolu was created by Lisa Eldridge. 

 4 shades I got:

* 132 Caprice ~ creamy red. Super sexy red! If you love reds you need this one in your stash :) applies really smooth and buttery . Amazing texture and super vibrant red! Summer  red for sure!

* 378 Rose Lancome ~ matte pink. Im not a fan of pinks, but wow this is is just gorgeous! Matte fuschia pink that can be worn all year round. I think its prefect for all seasons. Same matte opaque, long lasting and comfortable formula like with Berry noir. 

I am in love! I have never tired that lipstick range before. I really like the formula on all. Creamy and mattes are really long lasting, and they do feel really good on the lips. Colors are stunning !  Nuit & Jour is really sheer and it give a nice glossy look, which I really like. With the minimum makeup I wear these days I say Yes to it :)

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Corrector ~ swatches and review

*pr sample*

Hi Loves!

Today I want to show you my new goodies from Lancome.
The brand launched recently few new products.
Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Correctors are one of it. Ultra  pigmented, full coverage that hides skin imperfections.
 It addresses following skin concerns : redness, dullness, dark spots, under eye dark circles, sallowness and acne scars.
Blends really well, and remember a little goes a long way.

Green ~ neutralize redness for light to medium  skin tones

 Lavender ~ brightness sallowness for light to medium  skin tones

Yellow ~ brightness dullness for light to medium skin tones and minimizes dark spots and circles for fair complexion

Peach ~ minimize dark spots , dark circles and acne scars on medium skin tones

Orange/red ~ minimizes dark spots circles and acne scars on deeper skin tones

I really enjoy them ! Especially the green one that helps me with my redness. Formula is really pigmented! One dot can cover your face ! It don't cake or crease. I am still playing with rest of it, but the green one is amazing. If you look for a good green corrector check it out! Next stop i want to try the concealers! If the formula is similar I know I will be hooked on it!

Price $31
