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! 

Dull Skin? Tired Eyes? Don't worry Pixi Beauty got you covered with Beauty Skintreats

*pr sample*


Pixi Beauty never cease to amaze me. So far,the countless products I tried from them, was only one I didn't like. Over all their products are great and are staple in my daily routine. 



Today I will focus on three products, Mud Mask, Peel Off Mask and Eye Gel Patches.


 DetoxifEYE eye gels -lets start with them as I was super excited to try them. Under eye patches that hydrates, plumps,soothes and de-puffs. They are super easy to use.Come with tiny spatula that helps to take them out of the container. You basically apply them underneath of your eyes,close to lash line. What's great about these is that they stay in place. They deliver boost of hydration and soothe at the same time. They are infused with caffeine, that helps skin under eyes looks more awaken. I own The Ordinary Caffeine eye solution and I swear by it.

 
 These guys are great when I feel down and sleepy. I put them in while getting my daughter ready for school. Keep them on for about 10-15min and I am good to go. There is 60 patches in the container so that will last your for some time. Another great ingredients aside from Caffeine, are: Hyaluronic Acid, Cucumber Extract,Gold, Botanical Collagen and Peptides.

Glow Mud Mask I had before. Good to refresh my stash,so thanks PIXI :) This is clay mask. and unlike other clay masks this one is easy to squeeze out the tube. It has a dark green color with slight herbal scent. The cream like consistency helps mask to spread out evenly on the face. Once dried its pretty easy to wash off with warm water.
The results? Even after first time you'll be amazed.  The skin was visibly cleaner, less oily and pores smaller. I like that it removes the excess oil with out stripping the skin. Big plus for that! There was one clay mask I tried before (not Pixi) and it left my skin feeling like Sahara dessert. Crazy tight and so dried up. The worst feeling ever! That mask landed in the garbage next minute.
Glow Mud Mask is o much more better.

The key ingredients:
* Dead Sea Mud, Hyaluronic Acid and Sea Salt - adds hydration, and helps maintain balance of the skin.
* Aloe Vera - calms inflamed skin
* Clay - helps absorbing oil from the skin and helps skin become more balanced.



T- Zone Peel Off Mask - with Avocado & Green Tea. Pore Purifier. Detoxifying peel-off mask draws out impurities and lifts away oil to reveal immediate results. It contains a unique green super food blend that includes avocado, cucumber, aloe, green tea and bamboo extract to help firm & refine. Great for congested, dull and tired skin. It have nice metallic green color that is super fun. Masks applies nicely and evenly. After it dries up, you simply peel it off.
After first time using it I notice less oil and well my skin looks a lot cleaner.
Use 1-2 times a week or as needed. Apply a thick even layer to T-Zone only. Leave on until completely dry then gently peel off. Avoid eye area, eyebrows, hairline and lips. Do not use on skin that is irritated, broken or sunburned.



Right now as you can see in the picture below I like to multi-mask and combine both Pixi mask on my skin :) And no I dis not grow a beard :)




Have you tried any of the mentioned product?Would love to hear your thought below :)

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?

Introducing HELLO FAB Bendy Avocado Concealer and HELLO FAB Kona Eye Stick by First Aid Beauty aka The best concealer I tried in 2018

*pr sample*



There is nothing better then a good concealer :) don't you agree?
I like trying new concealers. Right now I been loving Colourpop Cosmetics Filter Concealer, and I have on my wish list Born This Way and Shape tape :)


First Aid Beauty was kind enough to send over this awesome PR package full with their new launch! Hello Fab Bendy Avocado Concealer and Hello Fab Kona Eye Stick. Back in the summer. 



Quickly I give you my two cents on both products, although I didn't wear much makeup in the summer. It is just so hot and humid in NYC, I just can't. As soonest I got out I have a sweat /water dripping all over.  I only put on a tinted moisturizer and SPF. But I did find time to try these two new products. And I continued to use them through out Fall time until now.
This is the best concealer that I had tried past year. It is so good! no creasing no caking, Blends so good!


* Hello FAB Bendy Avocado Concealer ~ Flexible. skin nourishing. Super food infused looks and acts like a second skin, providing weightless full coverage, that moves with a complexion without cracking, creasing or caking. The concealer is formulated specifically for the delicate eye area and are perfect for anywhere on the skin for touch ups. The concealer is packed with nourishing, clean ingredients including avocado oil, vitamin E and mushroom extract., to help hydrate, condition and soothe, plus caffeine to help diminish under eye puffiness and dark circles. The build-able makeup meets skincare formulation covers blemishes, blurs imperfections and combats the dark circles. 
I really really enjoy this concealer. It is really good and it did survive in this humid city hahah . I agree that it hydrates and that work with the skin like one. Great coverage, great price, but the shade selection not so great. We live in the world that we need a shade for every one of us.  There is total of 7 shades, two dark and 5 light... I would think that you don't want WOC wear your products?  Some companies  can afford to launch 40 shades of foundations and concealers and I am pretty sure you can too. So please take that for consideration. I really like the concealer and I work with dark skin ladies and I would love to recommend it to them :) Since they always ask me whats good in makeup :)
Concealer available at Sephora and Sephora.com, Prcie $22


* Hello FAB Kona Eye Stick ~ Hydrate, de-puff and prime. Give tired eyes a instant pick-me up. The cooling, invigorating three in one stick hydrates and de-puffs the under eye area while simultaneously working as a makeup gripping primer, to perfect and prep the skin for smooth concealer and shadow application.  Infused with super food Kona coffee to diminish the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, along with aloe water and cucumber to deliver cooling aqua-burst sensation. The radiance boosting balm effortless melts into the skin for wide eyed, well rested look. 
This stick is so good and works so well with the concealer. Love the cooling effect and love the way it brightness the under eye area.  Definitely it gives life to my eyes and brings radiance. 
Available at Sephora and Sephora.com , Price $24

. I do recommend both and when your at Sephora, go check them out. But please First Aid Beauty try to come up with more shades coz it truly is an amazing concealer and everyone should have a chance to try it. 

Let's Glow with Pop Beauty Prismatic Pop Illuminating Powders

*pr sample*


I love a good highlighter. They are my favorite to purchase and well to receive. Pop Beauty send over an amazing PR Package few months ago. It included 4 of their new Pop Prismatic Illuminating Powders. I say it was a love at first swatch. They give a glow AF! Blinding and well beautiful!


They come in a square, rather bulky packaging. Pop logo on a see-through acrylic lid.  In the middle there is a highlight. The more I look at it the more they remind me of diamond surface. There is a lot of product in each (5.1 g) and you don't pay much for it. I love a good affordable highlighter. 


The formula is so creamy! There is no fall out whats so ever. It beautifully glides on the skin and it makes it glow. If you like soft glow aka glow from within these are not for you. They are infused with shimmery particles that upon contact with skin gives beautiful blinding glow. Non glittery at all. Just beautiful intense glow! Yes these babies are pigmented. They are just amazing. Two shades I keep constantly reaching for are Celestial Lights and Gilded Lights. My Stellar Lights one came in broken unfortunately, but still I make a use out of it. The Stellar Lights and Lunar Lights I like to use as an eye shadows :). The best is to apply them with a dense brush rather then fluffy one. 


Like I mention they are affordable. $12 each and worth it. So if you like to glow and go for it. I think they are amazing and like I said the two lightest ones been in my makeup rotation since last month. 

They are available at POP Beauty --> Here.



Introducing new eye shadow palette by Lunatick Cosmetic Labs ~ VAMPIRA (picture heavy)

*pr sample*


I got one of the best birthday gifts ever. When I got home yesterday a pretty coffin package was waiting for me. I didn't have to check to see who is it from :)  I know only one brand that sends out cool packages like that.



Lunatick Cosmetic Labs launched yesterday (03/20) on my birthday, a new eyeshadow palette inspired by legendary Maila Nurmi's Vampira. 


I freaked when I saw the palette. It is stunning! Coffin shaped, includes mirror and 5 eye shadows. On the palette cover you see beautiful Vampira, and inside the coolest drawing created by @hagcult . 


Vampira shades :
* Velvet Moon ~ its a duo chrome it have a lilac shift to it. really pretty. buttery and pigmented
* Untarnished ~ very pretty metallic silver. also buttery and pigamned
* Astro Vamp ~ matallic-y  deep plumy purple. again buttery and pigmented. It have a purpely- pink sparkles in. 
* Necromancer ~ it like a antic gold. very nicely pigmented and buttery to touch 
* Nefarious ~ it is hard to describe this. I would say it is a deep green with a black base. when you look in the pan you can see many pretty sparkles (green, teal, light green). But when swatched I don't see it any more, plus it is kinda dry and well least fave. I see how it will look on the eyes but I am not crazy about it tho. 






Over all palette is amazing. Aside of that one shade I adore it. Packaging have a nice weight to it and it is very sturdy. this palette is perfect for all Vampira , Lunatick Cosmetic Labs and all Supernatural  fans. 


You can find VAMPIRA palette here
Price $35

*Lunatick Cosmetic Labs is cruelty free. 



 I do adore the black and white pictures :)




Anti-Aging skin care with HydroPeptide Nimni Cream

*pr sample*



Oh hey! guess what another anti aging post :) This time it will focus one of the newest innovation from HydroPeptide -  Nimni cream. 
This cream is prefect for those who concern about wrinkles, fine lines and loss of facial volume.
Nimni cream was developed by Dr. Marcel Nimni, a leader on a collagen products. 



The key ingredients:
* Patented Collagen Support Complex ~ blend of amino acids that fights skin sagging for a firmer appearance
* Time-Release Retinol ~ improves skins fullness and elasticity while resurfacing skin for more even tone and texture
* Anti-Aging Peptides ~ improves skin structural integrity and provides additional collagen signaling.
* Collagen Supporting Antioxidants ~ helps stimulate and support healthy collagen.



Now let me tall you how this cream worked on me :)
So like some of you know I'm in my 30s. I know some would say I might be too young for anti aging products, but better start early then cry later.
My skin is acne/oily and sensitive. I always do a test before I apply any sort of product. Over all  My skin really like this cream. I didn't get any breakouts or any rash. Thank god!. It absorbed fast and left my skin feeling soft.  At first I started using it only twice a week and than i increase to use it every day or every other day. Since this cream is strong you want your skin to get used to it and not hate it.
I been using it for a about 3 weeks now ( i apply it twice a week) and I can see small changes. Like my fine lines getting smoother and my skin tone even. I don't have wrinkles or any other concerns. It didn't give me any bad reaction nor did it clog my pores.
It have a strong herbal scent that to some people might be to much. also the cream color is kinda yellowish-greenish... On the picture  promoting product cream is white. You get kinda mustardy color tho.  Why can it be white LOL.
The only down side of this is the price. This cream cost $110 (0.5oz) But if you use twice a week it might last you few months.



I applied it on a cleansed skin  and neck, avoiding eye area.
Over all I think this cream is good. I would love to send it to my mom now and see how it will preform on her skin. Like I said before my fine lines are even and my skin looks really good.
Now would i repurchase it ? No, unless I have the $$$ to spend on it. Over all I did recommended this cream to few of my co workers :)

* product was send to me for review from Brandbecker and Hydropeptide #hydropeptide #nimnicream.
