Kylie Jenner NEW Lip Kit Shades+Nail Polish Collection 2016

Hello beautiful, I hope you're having an amazing day!

Kylie Jenner is not only my GOALS but millions of other girls' as well.

I was *stalking* Kourtney Kardashian on Instagram the other day and came across a picture she posted of some Kylie's Lip Kits that Kylie herself gifted to her sister.

Source: Kourtney Kardashian's Instagram
If you notice, there are 3 NEW lip kit shades, which she mentioned has a lovely vanilla scent. The shades are: Koko K, Mary Jo K, and Posie K( which Posie K was named by a fan!) I think it's a gift to all of us for her to have her own cosmetics line...I can't wait for more Kylie Cosmetic products! You can purchase the lip kits on their website but they're sold out for now.

In the mean time of launching more Kylie Cosmetic products or new lip kit shades, Kylie has been working on a nail polish line with Sinful Colors! They are "Gel Shine" polishes and seem to have multiple steps. Here is the color preview:

More news will be coming FEBRUARY 26th. So, mark your calendars if you want first in on this product!

Until next time,

Recipe: Gluten Free Brownies! (Black Bean Brownies)

Hi everyone!

This year, I've become more aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. I used to devour chips and processed junk that tasted delicious, but was toxic for my body. Over the summer, I developed healthy eating habits and a consistent workout "routine". Now, I control my portions, eat (mostly) vegan, gluten-free, and as raw as possible. In other words, I try to eat as clean as I can. Alongside with being more active and putting on my running shoes, I've lost a total of 20 pounds since the summer time. I am proud of my accomplishments and motivated to continue live a healthy lifestyle. If you want more information on my weight loss, or anything alongside my "diet" and nutrition or working out, let me know and I'll be happy to share it with you!

Anyways, today I wanted to share a recipe that I saw on MeghanRosette's youtube channel, which is recipe for Black Bean Brownies! Now, I know the name is scary, but trust me, if you're someone who is eating clean and staying away from processed chocolates and fatty foods full of refined sugar and butter, then these brownies are perfect for you!

Ingredients:

I can of Black Beans
-1/4 Cup Coco Powder
-10-12 Tablespoons or 3/4 of a cup Stevia (or any other sweetener)
-1/2 Cup of Apple Sauce
-3 Eggs (or 9 egg whites) 
-1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract 
-Pinch of Salt
-Chocolate Chips
Directions:

1.) Preheat ove to 350 degrees
2.) Drain Black Beans
3.) Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth (besides for chocolate chips)
4.) Place into a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, check every 5 minutes
5.) Cool for 15 minutes and serve!

I hope you all enjoyed this healthy recipe, let me know how yours turned out! Please note, even though these brownies are way more healthy than typical brownies, they are only healthy in moderation!

Until Next Time,
xoxo
Vanessa

BB Goes Body! Review: Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream

Hello beautiful!

I received an email from Jergens letting me know about their new BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream! It's BB Cream for your body! This innovative new product is hitting Target stores on December 29th, 2013! I believe they will be in other drugstores such as Walmart, CVS, etc. in 2014. They will be sold for $11.99+sales tax (Target). I'm super excited to purchase this lotion because I'm obsessed with anything "BB" related!

Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream

The Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream will be available in 2 "shades". If you have a lighter skin tone opt for the "All Light Skin Tones", if you fall between medium-deep skin tone then choose the "All Medium-Deep Skin Tones". This product isn't a self tanner like their Natural Glow products, but it provides a sheer "coverage", if you will. They claim to immediately hydrate and illuminate, and overtime even, firm, and correct your skin.

Each type of shade (All Light Skin Tones and All Medium-Deep Skin Tones) is specifically designed to target problematic areas that arise in various skin tones, so choose what fits you best!

The Claims:

A total body breakthrough

Jergens® BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream delivers flawless-looking skin with 5 visible benefits in just 5 days. This revolutionary body lotion goes on sheer, dries quickly, and works like a moisturizer to visibly improve your skin with every use.
INSTANTLY: HYDRATES - ILLUMINATES
IN 5 DAYS: EVENS - FIRMS - CORRECTS

What Can BB Do for Your Skin?

BB Body Cream delivers varying benefits depending on your skin tone. It goes on sheer and then adjusts differently to a range of shades.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!

Hello pretty ladies!

I know it's been a while since my last post, but let me tell you. THIS SCHOOL YEAR IS HECTIC! I've been working hard to perform my best and undertaking a lot of extra circulars, and volunteer positions. Anywhos, I was browsing through the wonderful internet, and I saw the most glorious thing every. The URBAN DECAY NAKED 3 PALETTE! It features 12 new and never-seen-before shades in this beautiful metallic-faced palette.
Urban Decay Naked3 Palette

It's currently available only on urbandecay.com for $52.00 (USD); just like the other Naked palettes.

About the Urban Decay Naked3 Palette:
It’s finally here: the long-awaited follow-up Naked and Naked2 (two of the industry’s all-time bestselling palettes)! And this time around, we’re giving you a dozen NEW ways to get Naked. (Yes, we loaded this palette with 12 NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN shades.)

Choose from every finish imaginable: ultra-smooth mattes, gorgeous pearls and glimmering metallics. From the palest, shimmery pink to deep, warm black, these neutrals will make you want to get Naked all over again. Every shade features our Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability. 

Naked3 includes a NEW double-ended shadow/blending brush AND an Eyeshadow Primer Potion sampler with resealable samples of all four formulas (original, Sin, Eden and Anti-Aging). Each sample holds about a week’s worth of Primer! 

Our art-school-inspired tin case is a gorgeous rose-gold color (a subtle hint at the shades inside). Embossed on top with a big “Naked3” and cool facets that beg to be touched, it’s sure to inspire lots of jealous stares. 

Fill Weight: 12 x 1.3 g / 12 x 0.05 oz

The color shades available in this palette are:

  • Strange (pale neutral pink matte-satin)
  • Dust (pale metallic pink shimmer w/ iridescent micro-glitter)
  • Burnout (light pinky-peach satin)
  • Limit (light dusty rose matte)
  • Buzz (metallic rose shimmer w/ silver micro-glitter)
  • Trick (light metallic pinky-copper shimmer w/ tonal micro-sparkle)
  • Nooner (metallic pinky-brown mate)
  • Liar (medium metallic mauve shimmer)
  • Factory (pinky-brown satin)
  • Mugshot (metallic taupe shimmer w/ slight pink shift)
  • Darkside (deep taupe-mauve satin)
  • Blackheart (smoky black matte w/ rosy red micro-sparkle)

I feel like this palette is unlike the other 2 Naked palettes. This new Naked 3 has a lot of pinky-metallicy shades. I personally like the Naked 2 palette better just because the color selection fits my personal taste.

Top: Naked Palette
Middle: Naked 2 Palette
Bottom: Naked 3 Palette

It's a new era of "naked" makeup palettes!!
Who's excited?

Until Next Time,
xoxo

Fall 2013 Trend Color: Cobalt Blue

Hello pretty!

I absolutely love the fall season, not just because my birthday's in October, but because of cider mills, chilly breezes, color changing leaves, haunted houses, and of course...sweater weather. I've been buying and wearing sweaters like crazy, literally! I can't get enough of the ever-so-cute sweater+leggings+ugg/emu boots combination! I put together an outfit I wore the other day and hopefully it inspires you for fall outfits! Cobalt is the trending color for Fall 2013, so make sure to stock up on a lot of this vibrant hue!

Until Next Time,

Review: Revlon Photo Ready BB Cream Skin Perfector SPF 30 in Light/Medium

Hi beautifuls!

As summer is coming to an end, I wanted to get some new beauty products that I thought would be nice for the upcoming (school) year. I did a LOT of back to school shopping for clothes, school supplies, and...this is my first week with my Mac Book Pro 13" laptop! I am so excited because I am a HUGE fan of Apple products so this laptop is a new addition to my Apple product "collection", if you will.

One of the beauty products I purchased about a week and a half ago was the Revlon Photoready BB Cream in the shade light/medium. I was going to do post this right then and there, but I wanted to give it at least a week of trial to see if I like it or not.

I purchased mine at an Ulta nearby alongside with other drugstore products so I spent a little over $30 in total so I was able to use my $3.50 off $10 purchase coupon they send me via mail, or you can go online to ulta.com to print one out! This BB cream was $10.99 and I purchased this in the shade light/medium as I noted earlier. I already have 3 drugstore BB creams: Maybelline Dream Fresh, L'Oreal Magic BB Cream, and the Cover Girl BB Cream (although this one really classified as a tinted moisturizer under the title "BB Cream"). I have a review on the Cover Girl BB Cream as well as my overview on what a BB Cream is, so if you want to read it click here. 

Revlon Photoready BB Cream in Light/Medium $10.99
The Claims:

 A lightweight, multi-benefit Beauty Balm by Revlon that combines skincare, makeup, and sunscreen into one step.



  • HYDRATES like moisturizer
  • SMOOTHES like primer
  • COVERS like foundation
  • BLURS FLAWS like concealer
  • PROTECTS with SPF 30 like sunscreen
  • Source: Ulta.com


    To be 100% honest with you, I don't think ANY BB Cream from the U.S is a "BB Cream". I think they are just multifunctional tinted moisturizers. In my opinion, the only "real" BB Creams come from Asia because theirs are true to purpose, to create a flawless complexion with skincare benefits derived from extracts, etc. However, I am glad that the drugstore in the U.S sell "BB Creams" because they are great face products (multifunctional tinted moisturizers).

    With this particular BB Cream, I did find it hydrating it is somewhat heavy. If you have oily skin like I do, this might be a turn off because it makes us Oily skin people feel even oilier. You can definitely feel this product on your skin and unfortunately it doesn't go away. However, I think this would be perfect for the winter time when my skin gets drier. 

    This didn't have a primer texture or consistency, but it did go on smoothly. It may or may not have a built in primer I do not know for sure, but this BB cream does last for a good day or so

    It does not have a foundation level coverage. It has a little more coverage than the Cover Girl tinted moisturizer/BB Cream, but it was not "foundation" coverage. It did even out my skin tone, but the redness around my nose, and some spots on my face were visible. 

    Again, like I said above, this product doesn't have high coverage, it just evens out my skintone so I wouldn't say it is "like a concealer".

    I love how this product has SPF 30 because it is additional sun protection that you might've forgotten in your skin care routine.


    Swatch, shade: Light/Medium
    The product comes out like a thick moisturizer, but not a cream. On my hand it looks fairly light, but here is how it appears once it's blended out a bit:

    Blended out
    I didn't blend it completely but I did enough so you could see how dewy it looks as well as how it blends with my skintone. I really like this because I can mix it with a darker shade, or use it during those awkward 1/2 slightly tan 1/2 pale days.

    Overall, I do like this product. I wish it was a bit lighter, but I don't mind it so much. I love how it looks on my skin, it evens everything out and makes my skin look flawless. I would purchase it again but it wouldn't be the first item on my list to go shopping for.

    8/10

    Until Next Time,

    How I Remove My Makeup & The Products I Use!

    Hey guys!

    I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while and it's no one's fault but mine. I've been dealing with a lot. And by a lot, I mean a lot. I'll probably do a separate post on it or maybe a video soon, but for now, I thought I'd post about how I remove my makeup and the products I use!

    Okay, so the first thing I do is address the situation. I know I'm probably making it sound like a life or death situation, but you need to address the situation! If you have a ton of eye makeup on, then you'll need more things to remove it with, capiche?

    I typically remove my makeup right after school so that I don't have my makeup on all day and I can have breathable skin.

    The first thing I use is the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes . These babies remove visible foundation and makeup that isn't crazy crazy waterproof. I take one wipe and remove all the surface makeup. However, it doesn't remove everything deep in your pores.

    So, after I use the remover wipe, then I take my Korres Milk Proteins 3-in-1 Cleansing, Toning, and Eye-Makeup removing Emulsion with a round cotton pad and wipe it all over my face. Literally, this will show you how much makeup is still left in your pores! I love this stuff! Even though I have oily-combo skin, it doesn't make my skin super oily, it actually balances it out and makes it in fact less oily!

    If I have extra eye makeup or coats and coats of waterproof eye makeup, then I would use an eye makeup remover, such as the Lancome Bi-Facial Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover or the Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover  which are two amazing eye makeup removers!

    After, I use my Olay Pro-X brush with a cleanser that I enjoy. Recently, that cleanser is the Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Scrub. Holy chicken cannolis. This stuff feels so good on my skin and smells amazing! It really keeps my skin clear I love it!

    So that's my makeup removing routine, I hope it maybe gave you some times or advice on you could remove your makeup!

    Until Next Time,
    xoxo

    Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Color Whisper Lipcolor

    Hello Beautiful!

    I'm so sorry I haven't posted a blog post or video in a really long time! I promise, I haven't forgotten about any of you!

    Maybelline Color Sensational Color Whisper Lipcolor in:
     Left: Petal Rebel and Right: Pink Possibilities.
    My Purse: Guess Canary Small Satchel


    Recently, I went to Ulta and purchased two (2) of the new Maybelline Color Sensational Color Whisper Lipcolors in Pink Possibilities and Petal Rebel. They were $7.49 each and are literally amazing! Personally, I like the shade Pink Possibilities way better than Petal Rebel, just because Petal Rebel looks too washed out on me.
    Left: Petal Rebel and Right: Pink Possibilities

    The Claims:


    Description
    Dare to Whisper. Get truly translucent gel color from Color Whisper by Color Sensational from Maybelline. Pure color pigments suspended in a weightless gel deliver sexy, soft, see through color with a touch of shine, without the heavy waxes & oils found in traditional lipcolor.
    From: ulta.com



    They do feel very light on the lips and glide effortlessly. However, I don't feel like they have a gel-like texture and are certainly not translucent on the lips. When I swatched them on my hands, they appeared sheer, but on my lips they produced a decent amount of color.

    Left: Petal Rebel , Right: Pink Possibilites
    In comparison to the Revlon Lip Butters, which I love as well, they are definitely less pigmented and less creamy. Between the two, one isn't better than the other because they're two different types of lip products. I love both of them and will definitely be purchasing both in the future! They are slightly more pigmented than the L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Balms.

    Maybelline Color Sensational Color Whisper Lipcolors- Petal Rebel

    Hope you enjoyed this post!

    My Top 3 Eyeliners (PIGMENTED AND LONG LASTING)

    Hello beautifuls!

    I'm so excited to announce this because I've been on a hunt for long-lasting, pigmented, amazing eyeliners for a really long time! Out of so many that I've tried, I picked it down to my top 3 eyeliners. These liners are from various price ranges, and types so I hope you find one that suits your budget!

    1. Pencil
    2. Liquid
    3. Gel



    1. Pencil
    Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner in
    Matte Black 0L

    I am obsessed, OBSESSED, with the Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner in Matte Black 0L. This eyeliner is literally the best black eyeliner I've ever used. This eyeliner is in tough competition with the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero. I personally like the Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes better because it still glides as easy, but it's not super super rich and creamy like the Urban Decay one which is more prone to smudging and sliding off. I absolutely love this eyeliner! It doesn't come off, it stays on all day throughout school, and throughout the day. This is my everyday eyeliner. This eyeliner is a high-end eyeliner so it is pricier than the eyeliner you might find at the drugstore. It's $18.00+tax.







    2. Liquid
    Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in
    Perversion

    For pencil eyeliner, I say Makeup Forever. However, for liquid eyeliner, I will always be in love with the Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion. It literally doesn't move, at all! It sets after a couple seconds and doesn't come off until the moment you take it off with a good makeup remover. I wore it at Punta Cana for my vacation at the beach, in the pool, in the shower and this wouldn't come off! I was so surprised when they said waterproof...they meant it!
    This eyeliner is a high-end eyeliner so it is pricier than the eyeliner you might find at the drugstore. It's $19.00+tax.







    3. Gel
    Essence Gel Eyeliner in
    Midnight in Paris 01
    You might be surprised that this eyeliner beat out all of the other high-end eyeliners that I've tried. I like this much better than my Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner in Deep Black which is $18.00 more than this one. It is the Essence Gel Eyeliner in Midnight in Paris 01. This eyeliner is only $3.99 at Ulta and it stays on SO much longer than my Smashbox one. It's smooth, creamy, and set's to last for a really long time until you take it off. It's really pigmented, a true black. It stays on throughout the day and water!




    So here are my top 3 eyeliners! I hope you enjoyed, don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel  and follow me here on my blog!

    Until Next Time,
    xoxo

    Just before I was going to purchase this, the store's associate came up to me and asked if it was okay if she applied it on me. When she did the first swipe, there was no color on my face which was disappointing. Then, she swiped it a second time. Still no color. She seemed shock herself. The third time she pushed kind of hard on my face and the color finally showed up, and I'm going to be 100% honest with you guys. I didn't like it. It looked...unnatural on my face. There were 3 colors and the orange color was not flattering on my skin. Maybe it's because I'm slightly tanner from my vacation? I have no idea, and then when she blended the colors onto my skin, it seemed as if nothing was there. She complimented me how "beautiful" I looked, but I honestly saw nothing on my face than what I applied in the morning. I ended up not purchasing this product because I was not really in love with it and it is $30.00 which is pricy for this 0.28 oz stick. 
    I have to say, I was disappointed in this product. I was super excited for it because it reminded me of the NARS Multiples. :(

    Swatch!

    After pushing the product firmly onto my hand.
    The orange color is VERY orange looking
