NYX eyeshadow trio review


I think these are great, NYX is a great, cheaper brand of make up that works just as good as high end products. I recently bought a few of these and I was very impressed with them. They have 45 different sets to choose from! The colors of all of these are just gorgeous and go on very smoothly The compact is a really cute matte black, with a mirror and a 2 sided sponge applicator inside which is convenient if your applying shadow on the go. On the website it says they cost $8.00 which isn't bad but it really just depends where you go I purchased them from a local store for $5.99Check on Cherryculture.com They usually have NYX items for a lower price. I highly recommend this product, great buy! I look forward to trying more of these trios.

Alba Botanica • Sea Lettuce Cleansing Milk


got this on sale at a discount store for $4.99 (orig $9.95) so I was really excited to try it. I love it! it doesn't dry my skin out at all but still gives it a nice fresh clean feeling. Smooth texture and a nice scent. I love all the natural ingredients that are in it, and the pump bottle is convenient. It's also 100% vegetarian and no animal testing! :)

Clinique • Facial Soap Mild



There's really nothing special about this bar,I heard great things about it but I wasn't very impressed. It drys my skin out, it's great if my skin is super oily that day but nothing special about this I feel like I'm just using any old bar of soap to wash my face. I can't believe I spent $12.00 on a bar of soap! hah.

Neutrogena • Oil Free eye makeup remover



I've used a lot of make up removers and I could never find one that actually got all the make up off without bothering my skin, this is the most amazing eye make up remover I've ever used. It doesn't leave my skin all oily and it gets all of the make up off really quick. I've used this for years and will continue to. Great product!

NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipstick review

So I've heard a lot of buzz about NYX cosmetics and since I live in Arizona it's really hard for me to get ahold of any because the closest retailer is hours away. I was in California recently and found a store that sold NYX. I got a bunch of their stuff. My favorite was the Diamond Sparkle Lipstick, it's great! I got Sparkling Amber I'll post pics of swatches when I get my other computer running. Anyway onto the lipstick it's super creamy and stays on a long time, it didn't dry my lips out at all and it's only $5.00 they have 24 beautiful colors you can buy them here:

O.P.I Avojuice Skin Quenchers review



Product description: Avojuice Skin Quenchers lotions are filled with real, good-for-you natural extracts and an entire menu of soothing, nourishing ingredients designed to give skin a drink of moisture!
In nine juicy flavors your skin will drink up!


We already know O.P.I has some great nail polish but I just recently discovered these wonderful lotions when I got my nails done. I purchased Jasmine Juicie and Berry Juicie and smelled several others and they are some of the yummiest scented lotions I've tried! They really do nourish your skin. I've tried a lot of lotions that end up just leaving my skin greasy, these don't. They cost around 7.99 and you can find them at Ulta.

Review on FLIRT-TINIS by Flirt!


Product description:
FLIRT-TINIS by Flirt! Protective Lip Balm SPF 12 Pucker up to super-sheer color, protective shine.size 2 FL 0Z/6 mL





These are ahhhmazing! I went to Kohls the other day and they were out on display as limited edition. They cost $10.00 but I got them for $8 on sale. I bought one then went back the next day and bought 3 more. Bikini Pink is my favorite. It stays on a LONG time and they’re not super sticky. Wonderful shine with a nice hint of color and they smell good too. Overall they're a great product one of my top 5 favorite lip products!
