Aloha! I haven't done a beauty review in so long! I used to wear a lot of make-up, when I say a lot I mean everything! Lately, I barely wear make-up and only have the time to put on the complete doll face if I am going out. I'm usually up really early in the morning for school, work, or to run errands. So, my recent daily face routine has been to wash, skip moisturizer, put eye liner, and if I have extra time I add mascara. I am going to start doing frequent beauty reviews again, to share with you all beauty tips, inspiration, and information on what is in trend.
This past Sunday, I went beauty shopping at Sephora with Dawnavin. We took a while in the store, trying to decide what we wanted to buy, there were too many options. I decided to stock up on some beauty products that I needed to replenish. I bought the Soy starter kit by Fresh. The kit includes medium travel size samples of the Soy Face Cleanser, Soy Face Cream, and Soy Face Serum. Shout out to Miki, at Sephora Waikiki, she introduced Fresh to me. She even gave me a cute little sample of their Lotus Eye Gel. I need to get that product next! The gel is light and leaves your lids cool and refreshed. Thank you Miki! I've tried so many skin care line in the past, and I've got to say I'm in love with Fresh!
The fragrance of the skin care line is made with 100% natural ingredients: made with rose water and cucumber extract. Amino-acid-rich soy proteins moisturize, soothe, and renews skin cells for a healthy complexion. The facial cleansing step order: 1) Use a dime sized amount of the cleanser, lather with a little water, then rise. 2) Pat dry, then press one small pump of the serum onto the back of your hand. Lightly apply an even layer on your face and neck. 3) Last, use half a dime size amount of the cream to moisturize your face. More facts about Fresh: its gentle for all skin types, paraben-free, and removes make-up.
I also bought the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip sampling kit. I love this lip deluxe sampler, it includes one lipstick, three lip gloss, and two lip stains from some of the top make-up brands. I like the the glosses and lipstick shades where natural pinky shades for everyday wear. And the stains are good for a pop of color, that I would use for a dramatic pout at night. I took some photos with each lip color, to show lip swatches. I used my pink-ish-nude lip liner by Mac in "Subculture," to outline my lips (except for the last two lip stain swatches).
"Fame"-Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss- True Color
"Leslie"-Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips
"Celebutard"-Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick
"Rasberry Ice"-Lancome Juicy Tubes
"Moody"-Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Tint
"Bene Tint"-Benefit Rose-tinted Lip and Cheek Stain
I'm also going to be sharing some beauty presents that I received from my friends for my past birthday. My Norway and Sweden honeys: Monica, Maggie, Maddie, Marielle, and Ingvild got me a Sephora compact mirror and inside it was a gift card to the beauty store. Thank you ladies! One of the items I redeemed from the card was my favorite waterproof mascara by YSL called "Singulier" in Vibrant Black. This mascara is the best! When I wear this mascara, I don't even have to curl my eye lashes anymore! This mascara truly is false lashes in a tube. People always ask me if I'm wearing false lashes, I proudly tell them "No, its YSL!"
The thin spiral brush lengthens, adds volume, and separates the lashes all at the same time!
Tracy is one of my good friends, whom I know from middle school (back in the bay). She sent me a beauty package from her new home in Texas, one of the items included was a nail polish by Essie called "Splash of Grenadine." This cotton candy pink shade is so gorgeous and goes with any outfit. I like how Essie nail polish goes on really smooth, pigmented, and dries fast with a finishing shine.
My Indonesian honeys: Febrina, Dara, Cinta and Aga gave me the "Gucci" by Gucci perfume. Thank you Indonesian family! This was my first Gucci product, so this was really a special moment lol. I wear this sultry scent all the time! The exotic fragrance is made with Chamomile, Tahitian Tiare flower, Guava, Rasberry, Pear, Spider Lily, Patchouli, honey, musk, and orange blossom.
rebuilding my new beauty regimen,
Deanna
