Lunasol Glowing Powder Cheeks EX03 Review & Swatches

Although I reviewed and kinda sorta trashed the Lunasol Glowing Powder Cheeks Blush in a past post I was terribly tempted by the limited edition EX03 shade that was released with the Lunasol Summer 2012 Collection.

This shade combines a pretty orange and a peachy pink in one powder that can be used together or separately.

Take a look!

the Balm’s What’s Your Type? Tall, Dark, and Handsome Mascara Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

the Balm has two new mascaras that launched this Summer which will either lengthen or volumize your lashes. the Balm What’s Your Type Mascara? is available in a body builder formula for plumping lashes up and giving them a thicker, fatter finish or the tall, dark, and handsome formulation that creates longer lashes.

What’s your type?

I’ll take either thanks so much or better yet give me Tall, Dark, Handsome and Built….!

But we can’t have it all and I respect the Balm for not creating a formula that promises volume and only delivers length and vice versa. Dontcha hate mascaras that promise length and volume but you come out of with one or the other but never both?

Aggggrrrrr! That stinks.

Let’s check out the Balm What’s Your Type? Tall, Dark, and Handsome Mascara first.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

I’m always so tempted by Aveeno’s brightening marketing strategy. Slap “brightening” on any skincare and I’m on top of it! Sadly, Aveeno’s Brightening Collection just isn’t something that’s ever really captured me.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub sounds terribly tempting but for dry skin users it’s not the one that you want.

L’Occitane en Provence Angelica Instant Hydration Mask Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Need a little moisture in your life? L�Occitane en Provence Angelica Instant Hydration Mask is on the case.

The biggest factor in aging is dry skin so you wanna keep your skin as moist as possible particularly those with drier skin. Inject as much moisture into dry skin as you possibly can to avoid skin looking dull, lackluster, and old. Toners, serums, mists, moisturizers…layer it all on. Find the best products that work well together and use them daily to nourish skin and keep it at its healthiest.

Unlike the toner I recently reviewed for you, I’m finding the new L�Occitane en Provence Angelica Instant Hydration Mask quite a nice little addition to my skincare regime to add a nice heaping dose of moisture to my skin.
