My thoughts on this travel brush kit:
1. very neat brush bag
2. inexpensive brushes
3. comparable to high-end brushes
4. very soft bristles

6. great for novice and pro
After using this brushes for a year,I clean them at least once a week. I must say its a good quality brush to have.The large powder brush did shed and bleed but other than that,Its still a good powder brush. I got it onsale for $39(reg.$49) and shipping was awesome! very fast! I can tell you my $39 was worth it.I still have my brushes in good condition.yeheyy! I would love to review the premium travel kit that they have.Maybe next time.Hope this review helps everybody.Thanks for reading my blog. Pls follow me.xoxo

But I take care of her since she was a very litlle puppy. So whenever Im not home she looks for me everywhere and they told me she doesnt eat. I really love her and she's a brat too.lol I like to buy her outfits and she has a ton of clothes now, from halloween costumes to dresses.lol she my little fashionista.:]
shes posing infront of the camera
this is COOKIE (lab mix)
I got the name COOKIE coz she is brown with  kinda black spot in her back , lookin like a chocolate chip cookie.lol
the stuff toy on the picture(pink stipes) is bailey's but she took it. she sleeps weird but cute.:] 
This is LILLY (cookie's sister)

Reviews: wet&wild bronzer, Markgirl face primer & please hold eye primer


Wet&Wild baked bronzer in scorch 33438
This bronzy peach color has that raspberry and white veining to it.almost similar to the stereo rose in my opinion.I use it alot as a blush to go to work and it last for a long time.not like some blush i used that fades away in 4hrs.looks amazing on my NC35 skin.packaging wise, its ok its like the baked eyeshadows that has screw top.I have the swatch on the left side.Its very pretty.This product is very pigmented and cheap its about $3.99 and you get 3grams.
Mark Primed for perfection
I totally recommend it if you didnt get the MSF stereo by MAC but its not totally a dupe but I think they have a little similarity.
This claims: ultralightweight, fast-absorbing lotion before you apply anything else-it will not only provide a perfect canvas for your makeup, but will also help it last all day! Formulated with optical diffusers and oil-controlling ingredients to help conceal imperfections and fine lines. 0.4 fl. oz.

My opinion:
This is the best primer I have ever used by far, Its creamy white consistency is just perfect for my face.It comes in a squeeze tube.I have combination oily and smashbox primer didn't really work for me so I gave mine away. Now, this is really new to the MARK by avon line. I have been using this for 2 months now and I am just loving it.I dont feel oily when I use this product under my foundation.It doesnt break me out at all. I got large pores on my face mostly close to my nose,  inbetween my cheek and nose.And when I apply this product it makes my face smooth and even so foundation is easy to apply. People noticed that I have better skin and lookin flawless. But I dont really have flawless skin.lol This is a must have in my makeup bag.The down side is, the tube is kinda small for $10 but dont get me wrong I really like the packaging. I guess when you compare it to the big smashbox primer,this primer from mark is tiny.It says on the tube it has 30 ml and on the site it says 0.4 fl oz so im not really sure.But as long as it works for me then I dont want to complain.Hope this helps thanks! xoxo

Mark please hold eye primer



This product claims:
 creamy, oil-free formula that is two products in one. 0.098 oz. net wt.

- Primes lids, conceals circles!
- Helps eye makeup last and stay fresh-looking!
- Helps prevent creasing!
- Covers dark spots and puffiness!
- Oil-Free!
$8.00(price tag)

My Opinion:
Ive been using this quite sometime now, maybe couple months.
What I like about this eye primer is the packaging.It comes in a small compact with mirror.I got it in Light to medium. Now i want to talk about the product it self.So this is kinda pressed eye primer, its creamy and its more of a concealer to me not a primer. I have oily lids and this product only work when i use the mark eyeshadows, but when i use different eyeshadows they crease on me. Which i dont really get. so it claims that you can use it as a concealer too. All i can say is it works well as a concealer rather than a primer.I only can use it as a primer when I use the mark eyeshadows. I dont think I would recommend this to anyone but it doesnt hurt to try it.we all have different skin types and opinions so If you want to try it dont hesitate to try new things.Maybe it will work for you.

Hope this reviews helps and please follow me and leave me a comment if you have any questions.xoxo
have a GREAT DAY!!!

Review: New Maybelline Dream smooth mousse

in Natural buff
These are the claims on the packaging:
Light weight, Unique cream-whipped foundation provides 100% baby-smooth perfection.

Skin looks and feels hydrated for 14 hours - never rough or dry
Lightweight formula provides perfectly moisturizing coverage
Blends seamlessly and feels fresh all-day
Oil-free, Fragrance-free, Dermatologist Tested, Allergy Tested, Non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores.
Safe for sensitive skin

The packaging has one side with a flip top and a sponge inside, the other a twist off part where the foundation is held.When you rub your finger to get a product it kind of become like a liquid but not liquidy.Product is very smooth and blendable.On my face, it leaves a dewy but not wet looking finish. I topped it with powder to set it. As for the 14 hour that your skin looks well hydarated that it claims, I think it doesn't really work for 14 hr to me maybe 10 hr only.I tried using it with my Mark/avon  primer before I apply this foundation and they work good together. My skin looks nice after even i get out of work from the hospital.(8hr work) . My co-workers noticed it too. I am amazed and i truly love this product I have combination oily skin, acne prone, lots of acne spots.Coverage: I would say medium to full coverage.I've been using this product ever since I bought it.Never broke me out so thats the best thing about it.I got mine at ULTA and the price tag is $7.99.They have a wide range of colors from light(4), medium(4), & dark(2).

This is the only maybelline foundation I have ever tried. And I am very happy with this purchase. I even took my sister to ULTA to try this foundation and she loved it! Totally recommend it!
If you have any questions.Dont hesitate to comment or message me.Thanks!xoxo
