Saribelle Cosmetics ~ Affordable Skin Care at Target

*pr sample*

This post should have go up months ago. Unfortunately I got caught up in life problems and as you can see I was not active much on the blog. 

Tell me what's better then finding affordable gems at drugstore? Nothing!  I love trying out new affordable  products. Let's be honest, not every one have huge bank account and can splurge at high end skin care or makeup. And you know how pricey it can get right? 

Today I want to introduce you to Saribelle Cosmetics. Affordable skin care brand made for kids, teens and women all ages. Sensitive skin friendly. 

I came across them on Instagram. As you can guess the  beautiful packaging caught my attention. I followed them right away :)  I mean can we just talk about the packaging?  It is simply adorable and well fit for a princess.

As a blogger I get chance to try so many great and not so great products. Right now I am on the quest to find a good skin care for my daughter. Sophia will turn 9 in May and I want for her to start using a proper skin care products and not just a soap. I feel like soap dries up the skin. 

We already have an affordable cleansing brush and now we found a great skincare. 

Sophia really enjoys Saribelle products. The foaming cleanser is so easy to use and perfect for her. 

Non of the products broke her out or did anything. They are super friendly on her skin. 

* Instant Foaming Facial Cleanser ~ Lightly scented with mandarin and pink grapefruit essential oils, this all natural foaming cleanser removes all dirt and impurities  while Organic Calendula Flower and Aloe leave skin feeling refresh. I love the smell of this cleanser. It really smells divine. It comes with a pump, and you just need a tiny bit to clean entire face. My Sophia loves it. She say it is really easy to use and she likes they way it foams. Washes off with out leaving any residue and skin feels clean and refresh. ( Target, price $12.49)

* Moisturizing Face Lotion ~ lightweight face lotion, leaves skin feeling hydrated with out feeling greasy. Infused with Organic Chamomile and Calendula to calm irritated areas for smoother and softer skin. Organic Marshmallow Root  Extract soothes skin while Organic Caledula Flower Extract calm irritated areas. Again there is a very pleasant scent to it. I really like it and Sophia does it as well. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling hydrated and soft. I like how it is great for kids and teen. Finally lotion I am not afraid to put on my daughter face. ( Target, $14.19)

* Oil free Blemish Gel ~  it targets problem areas with a unique blend of Licorice Root  and Witch Hazel, while cooling Peppermint Oil helps reduce redness and soothes irritated areas. This is the product that we didn't use much of. I get pimples one in a while and Sophia got one or two so far. I actually forgot I have this and applied something else on her pimples LOL. Now I had this pulled out on my vanity and when we get an uninvited friend on our face we will fight it with this gel. 

(Target, $12.29)

* Therapeutic Mud Mask ~ special blend of clays combined with Grapefruit Peel, Lemongrass and Peppermint Essential Oils purifies deep within pores. Can be used all over or just as a spot treatment. Ah I love how refreshing this mask is. It dries up quickly and washes off with warm water. It leaves skin so soft and so fresh! I really really like it. it is definitely in my top favorites/ I have not try this mask on Sophia yet. I am not sure if she have a need of masking her face or not hahah. I guess it all depends on her. If she asks I will hand it over to her.  (Target,  $13.69)

Overall I want to say that me and my daughter love Saribelle Cosmetics. They are all natural and most important kid friendly. So if you have young daughter, sister, niece or cousin get it for her. She will love it and her skin will be grateful as well.

Multi-Misting with Pixi Beauty Mists

*pr sample*

Hi Loves,

Welcome in this gorgeous day :) Lets talk about face mists today :) I know I love them , how about you?  I can't imagine misting my face before and after I apply makeup or even a skin care.
Pixi Beauty mists were first ones I tried. Currently they own 5 mists, but I will talk only about 4 which I currently own.

Hydrating Milky Mist 

This one is my favorite. This is my first mist I tried form PIXI range few months ago and fell in love.
This one is great when you have a dry skin. And during winter's month my skin got dry.
It provides an instant boost of hydration with hyaluronic acid to plump the skin. As well it contains black oat, linoleic acid and pro vitamin A to hydrate and soothe. I really like the scent of this one. This mist is always with me, because sometimes during the day I need a boost of hydration.

Makeup Fixing Mist

It has a rose water and green tea formula that helps set makeup and keeps it in place all day. Can be use as a primer and setting mist. Two in one solution , amazing right? It helps powders melts into the skin and gives a beautiful almost air brushes look. Skin don't look cakey.

Glow Mist

This is the mist that people can stop raving about. This mist once you spray it makes you skin looks brighter and glow-y! It contains 13(!) oils, aloe vera and fruits extracts that protects and hydrates the skin.  So if you skin is dry and dull and need some dewiness this mist is for you! I only use it weekends when I don't wear makeup. I spritz it all over my face . I tried with my makeup as a setting makeup spray but unfortunately my oily skin don't like it that way.

Vitamin Makeup Mist

its a vitamin boosting toner that works so good as soonest I wake up.  This mist been on my list for a quite some while. Its made with orange blossom water base enrich with citrus fruit extracts, lavender and arginine to hydrate and strength the skin. It does have a citrus scent and it feels energizing .  I like to use it the most mornings after washing my face.

I personally enjoy each of the mists. Adding them to both my makeup and skin care routine is a game changer :) Mists are lightweight and the idea of multi misting is fab!

Have you try PIXI mists or any other?

PIXI mists are available at Target and PIXI website.
Price $15 each

Sinful Colors Kylie ~ Denim & Bling Collection ~ Kameleon and Kurves SWATCHES

HI loves!

I picked 2 more Kylie Polishes from collaboration with Sinful Colors. I will be definitely getting more!~ there is few more shades I like :) 

This time I picked up Kameleon and Kurves. 

Both are form Denim & Bling Collection.  They can be found at your local Target and Walgreen's. Price $3 each :)

Kamaleon is a duo chrome shade. Gorgeous! If you like duo chromes don't pass this up! As you can see there is a blend of green, gold and some blue. Looks stunning on nails! This will be my go to color for next week. I applied 2 coats on the swatch. they dry fast too :) I still like to use my essence drops on all my polishes. It seals color nicely and cut the drying part too.

Kurves is a textured polish. I don't really like textured but this ones are very comfortable. Its a gorgeous periwinkle blue, if you know me you know I am sucker for periwinkle colors. This one have a silvery glitter in it, just like the Krop Top did. I swatched Krop top here.

 I applied two coats :) 

L'oreal 6 in 1 Cleansing Balm ~ Review

*pr sample*

Hi loves!

Time for a hair care product review. This one was send to me by Influenster for testing purposes. 

L'Oreal Ever Pure 6 in 1 cleansing balm ~ combine 6 products in 1 to help save time and put less tear to your hair. I got my for color treated hair. 

The bottle is pretty big. Comes with a pump which is a plus. On the instruction they wrote that I need 6 to 8 pumps, considering I have long hair I need more then that. 

This is non lathering cleanser that you use in place of your regular shampoo and conditioner. It cleans and condition hair without stripping color or moisture. 

 What it does:

* Cleans

* Treat

* Soften

* Condition

* Detangle

* Shine

Free of sulfate, silicone and dye.

Rosemary mint scent. ( I love the scent :) )

I have a mixed feelings .

First when I used it I wasn't quite happy. My hair felt wight down. Especially roots. I felt after drying they still looked greasy and down. There was no volume to it nothing. Plus since I didn't use my hair mask and lots of conditioner  brushing was painful. So no no on its own. 

Second I tried with my regular hair care products. This time I skipped my roots and concentrate on my actual hair. I left my scalp alone and for that I used some other product. 

I applied is all over my hair ( not scalp) and I let it sit for about 5 min. Then I went ahead with my hair mask and again I let it sit for 5 min. Once I was done I rinse all and then brush it threw and dry it. I will tell you my hair felt a bit better. I actually like to mix it with my other hair products. For ne it works the best that way. 

It is not a bad product. But on my hair works better with my all other products. 

I will say I will not be buying it again though. 

Pixi Beauty ~ what's new in my makeup bag?

*pr sample*

Hi Loves!

I feel behind with Pixi beauty reviews. Monthly I get their makeup bloggers box and well to be honest I haven't reviewed them monthly. I swear I wanted to but the time was just not enough.  

I decided to write a two separate posts one on makeup and one on skin care.

Here are new goodies I got in past months.

Pixi  MatteLustre Lipstick "Raspberry Blush"
Gorgeous bright raspberry red with hot pink undertones. Lipstick is demi matte finish. Wears really comfortably on the lips. This is my third lipstick from the collection :) I actually very like them.
Price: $12
Where to buy: Target, pixibeauty.com

Pixi Lip Contour Liner ~ Invisible Smudge Stopper 
Everyone needs one in their collection. I actually never really cared for clear lip liners. No color so whats the point huh?! But OMG you guys! Clear Lip liner are amazing! Pixi's invisible lip liner is moisturizing and acts like a protective barrier that prevents lipstick bleeding. Since its clear goes on perfectly with any color and any lipstick formula. I love also that is a twist up kinda deal, so no sharpening needed! Woohoo!
Prince: $12
Where to buy: Target, pixibeauty.com

Pixi Book of Beauty ~ Minimal Makeup ~ No- Makeup Makeup 
When I saw this in the box I screamed! This beauty book is amazing! Especially highlighters!
This is such a perfect little palette. It comes in cardboard book style packaging. The size is perfect a bit bigger then my hand. It contains:
* 2 highlights (which I love) champagne and the white one shows more yellowish :) (top row)
* Peachy-Pink Blush (matte) and soft Bronzer ( 2nd row)
* Duo Eye Shadow ( matte and shimmery)
I actually really like this book and I been using it almost everyday. Light, vanilla matte eye shadow could be more pigmented tho. Other then then that I have no complains.
Price: $24
Where to Buy: Target, pixibeauty.com

Pixi Beauty Blush Duo + Kabuki "Peach Honey"
Comes together with small kabuki brush. beautiful duo that creates a natural flush of color to cheeks.
Pixi's natural mineral powder formula reflects light, applies true to color, is hydrating and feels super lightweight.  Both shades in this duo can be wore alone or layered. Kabuki brush applies products effectively and evenly Blush is pretty peachy nude (shimmery) and the highlight is beige golden ( could be a little bit more pigmented and more shimmery).
Price: $18
Where to Buy: Target, pixibeauty.com

Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm "Baby Bare"
 Pretty peachy pink :) This balm provides hydration, sheer color and a lip stain. Contains Vitamin E and Shea Butter. This your typical lip crayon. Something like the Clinique Chubby sticks.
Color looks really pretty on. It does have a bit of minty scent. Wears of quite fast, but it leaves lips moisturized. I would suggest to exfoliate lips before applying , it tends to find and sit in the lines. Trust me this doesn't look good :( Over all I like it. This comes in prefect when you don't feel like wearing any lipstick or lip gloss.
Price: $14
Where to Buy: Target, pixibeauty.com

Pixi Lash Line Ink ~ Black Silk
woohoo another great eye liner. Liquid eye liner. This one is super easy to use. 12h stay, water proof formula and non feathering. Love the flexible tip. Goes on smooth and dries fast. Color stays dark through out the day.

Pixi Beauty Holiday Lipstick Quartette ~ Review and Swatches

Hello my Pixi Lovers.

 By the way if you didn’t try Pixi Beauty yet, do it, Thank me later. 

I really think I should post this review two weeks ago. Well no one to blame for it, but me. As I said Pixi is such an amazing company, not only they are cruelty free but they also care for their bloggers. We all got in a mail few weeks back, a nice little gift. Pixi was sending out their holiday sets, so we all (I assume all) got one. I was lucky and I got Mini Lipstick set. How sweet was that! 

Let me tell you about all three sets, insert some pics and then I talk about my gorgeous lipsticks.

This year Pixi launched 3 Holiday sets. So, this year we have beautiful Contouring palette with eye shadows, Silky eyeliners and mini lipstick set. I tell you something secret, I really like the contouring palette J look how gorgeous it is J contouring is a big thing and I trying to level up my poor skills. But let’s talk lipsticks, coz that is what I have.

They come in this stunning red packaging with gold detailing that screams Christmas. Inside there is 4 mini bestselling lipsticks. This is so funny, coz I was planning on getting 3 out of 4. I feel in love with the colors and formula. Plus after watching swatches on Shaaanxo channel I knew I need them. This set is a best way for you to try their luxe formula. With a mix of gorgeous suit-all hues, definitely will help you find a must have color.  Demi matte finish. Free of paraben, fragrance, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oil and gluten. They apply so smooth and feel weightless on the lips.

The Holiday MatteLustre Lipstick Quartette comes with shades:

* Honey bare ~ brownish, warm nude.

* Petal Pink ~ gorgeous flattering light pink. 

* Rose Naturalle ~perfect lip rose more on a brown side. 

* Bitten Rose ~ berry rose and very natural 

Now, the actual lipstick packaging is not as good. It is very different form their regular, full sized packaging.  I am not going to lie, it feels really cheap. Another thing is I couldn't twist up Honey Bare lipstick. I was afraid if I try harder it will break. But after all the struggle it finally worked.  Aside from that, I really think this set is worth buying. Great as a gift for someone or just a treat for yourself. Also, after swatching them on the back of my hand , I saw that the Bitten Rose left a stain that I couldn't take off. 

 You can purchase set on PixiWebsite and Target Website. 
Set retails for $14. Set itself is a limited edition , but all lipsticks are available for purchase ( full size $12) .

Pixi Beauty ~ Fall 2015

Hello Loves,

Pixi Beauty recently send me a box with some new makeup goodies inside. Super excited to share them with all of you. Let's get ready for Fall with Pixi shall we? :) Now let me show you what I got in small green box :) Are you ready? 

Cat Eye Ink in Intense Black ~ liquid eyeliner. The slanted tip reminds me of an angled liner brush. Its really black and really pigmented! One swipe and you ready to go! Waterproof formula makes it last the whole day with no feathering. I have to admit I am not so good when it comes to lining out my eyes :( But hey! if I practice more I will be a pro! 

Endless Brow Gel Pen ~ lets not forget about or brows. Unique gel texture. So far I been filing my brows with a Jordana's Powder duo for blondes. I was excited when I saw a brown pencil in the box. I am still on search for a perfect brow product without spending fortune on it. With this Endless Brow pencil it was eaas for me to fill and shape my brows. But I think the color might be a bit to dark for me. Other then that I really like it.

Mattelustre Lipstick in Pure Fuschia  and Plum Berry ~ ever since they launch the lipsticks they been on my wishlist. Both colors are gorgeous :) 'Pure Fuschia' just like the name suggests is a bright fuschia pink. 'Pure Berry' Deep berry , so perfect for Fall. Both are hybrids between matte and lustre finish. Both are really pigmented. Formulated with peptides and vitamins C & E to help create fuller, smoother looking lips. Weightless color wears comfortably and stays put the whole day. I say I will be picking few more shades :)

Glow Tonic ~ Oh this baby I been wanting forever! Finally I have a chance to try it out! Its an alcohol free toner that exfoliate and helps tot tone, firm and tighten the skin.  I will be having a full review on it in a week r so. Let me test this baby more and I will get back to you :)

PIxi Beauty ~ My Winning prize

Not long time ago I entered PIXI Beauty giveaway on Instagram and I Won Woooho . By the way the giveaway still might be going so Check them on Instagram ----> link here.  

You could win two free manis:)
I got notification via email. I Was super excited.

Last week I received two nail polishes and an sample of a black pencil eyeliner :) Since I don't own anything from their brand I was happy to try it out :)  

The two nail polishes I received are new to their line.

 Exotic Emerald  ~ I don't think I own anything like this color. Its beautiful. The most gorgeous green color I ever worn on my nails. Super opaque. One coat is enough :) very true to color. Dries fast and lasted on my nails 4 days :) Keep in mind I do some housework too. So long lasting nail polish is a kinda big deal for me . I don't have time to apply new one every other day ... 

Diamond Dazzle ~ Full on glitter :) It Wow-ed me! I think the best glitter I own so far. Reminds me of Essie "Set In Stones", but it have more glitter chunks then Essie. 

Both nail Polishes you can get it off Pixi Beauty Website and Target (in store and online). Price $8 each

Endless Silky Eye Pen (color Black Noir)  ~ Silky smooth and intense black. I was actually going to buy new back pencil (pixi read  my mind hahah ).

I use it on my top water line. Goes on smoothly and its super pigmented. Its water proof and stays up to 5h. Gel formula gives an intense color of a liquid liner. I have been wearing it ever since I got it and I am super duper happy. Didn't notice any smudging or what so ever. It is paraben and mineral  oi free.

Again you can purchase it on Pixi Website or Target (in store and online) price $14
