Bobbi Brown Instant Pretty Collection Review & Swatches

Bobbi Brown Instant Pretty Kit

You have to ask yourself how much make up do you really need? Particularly when you’re as big a beauty junkie as I am. But hey, we all have our vices, I just have too many haha (makeup, manga, comic books, games, books…eep!).

The thing is when I originally saw the Bobbi Brown Instant Pretty Collection on QVC I had to ask myself if I really needed it but after I got it I was happy I decided to purchase it as it contains such classical pieces of makeup that are truly practical and pretty for simple, natural looks.

Clinique Even Better Concealer Review & Swatches

Clinique Even Better Concealer 1

Clinique Even Better Concealer launched a few months ago and being the junkie I am for all things concealer I snatched it up.

I actually ended up ordering it online because the Clinique counter had a single MA present at the time and she was proceeding to waste time on someone who didn’t actually end up buying anything at all. Dontcha just hate that? I was sitting there for about 25 minutes waiting for her, finally got impatient, and walked to the next counter over to grab something else and proceeded to watch the person she wasted time with walk away with nothing.

I just needed a concealer dude…!

I was surprised while swatching in store how pink the first four shades were. I ended up purchasing the fifth shade which is abnormal for me but it turned into a perfect match so score!

And with Nordstrom’s Free Shipping on all orders I didn’t have to wait for near half an hour to get it either.

Take a look!

Skin Food Fresh Juice C Serum Whitening Review

Skin Food Fresh Juice C Serum Whitening 1

Skin Food Fresh Juice C Serum Whitening is one of those hit or miss products you occasionally run across from Skin Food.

I really love some of Skin Food’s offerings but I find many of the skincare products are more a fail than a hit for me sometimes as they promise a whole lot of everything but deliver on very little of it.

Having tried the entire range of the Skin Food Fresh Juice C Collection I must say it proved disappointing to say the least.

HadaLabo Arbutin Whitening Essence Review

HadaLabo Arbutin Whitening Essence

Dull skin?

Show of hands?

Me too.

I’m constantly looking for ways to brighten my skin up or even whiten it further for that matter so I’m always up for trying Asian potions and lotions to do so.

Arbutin is actually a successful way to brighten and lighten skin if you have, oh, a few years to spare.

LOreal Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator

Official song for BB Creams released in the US, another one bites the dust.

L’Oreal Youth Code BB Cream is another fail of a BB Cream that’s marked up to $18 at drugstores at the moment, yes, that’s $17.99 plus tax.

You can imagine my review of the new L’Oreal Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator isn’t going to be a good one so brace yourself.
