Confidence in a Compact by IT Cosmetics

Until now, no one has been able to create a serum and combine it with pigments and SPF 50+ for full coverage. Not only does it deliver all the amazing skincare benefits of the best-selling Confidence in a Cream, the groundbreaking solid serum technology and high-performance anti-aging ingredients will truly transform your skin. 

The formula is creamy, yet light and airy, just like a serum. This product is sure to blow you away.

Pairs perfectly with our NEW Heavenly Skin Skin-Smoothing Complexion Brush.  The Heavenly Skin Skin-Smoothing Complexion Brush is super soft and high-quality just like all of the IT brushes I've tried. It has fairly short, dense bristles and an angled shape, perfect for buffing foundation into the skin. 

I really love how flawless it made my skin look! It gives your skin a somewhat dewy appearance (there's no shimmer or glitter at all) where light seems to reflect off of your face and makes you look luminous rather than flat. Like the CC+ cream, it does take some time to dry down and for the next several minutes. Available at Ulta stores and ItCosmetics.com

Alchemist Holographic Palette by Kat Von D

What it is: An eye lip and face transformer palette with four holographic shades.
What it does: Revamp your makeup looks with this innovative Alchemist Palette featuring four holographic shades. It's perfect for achieving a spectrum of radiant special effects by layering Alchemist over eyeshadow and lipstick.

Each of the four shades within the palette catches the light from every angle for a spectrum of luminizing special effects; perfect for customizing finishes and exploring your artistic expression. The hybrid formula also doubles as a super-shimmery highlighter. Simply sweep product over prepped skin for otherworldly iridescence. Because the formula is packed with high-quality pearlescent particles a little goes a long way; even a subtle application imparts bold impact.

What else you need to know: The inspiration for this palette comes from the ancient science of alchemy—the art of turning natural materials into a precious elixir. Alchemist Holographic Palette is completely free of animal-derived ingredients. I am proud to say that Kat Von D Beauty has never tested on animals; and never will.

The Kat Von D Alchemist palette is a Limited Edition Holographic Face & Eye Palette, it is sold at Sephora, Sephora.com and Katvondcosmetics.com and is $32 US

The alchemist palette is a beautiful white holographic triangle, it feels like durable cardboard palette with a magnetic closure, on the inside there is as small mirror and four shades Emerald (Green), Saphyre (Blue), Amethyst (Ultra-Violet), Opal (Pink). This palette can be used as eyeshadow, highlighter or a top-coat for eyeshadow and lipstick.

The colors don’t look impressive when in the pan, but when applied they have a holographic appearance, almost like a duo chrome metallic glitter, these shadows are not chunky they are very smooth and when I swirled my brush I had minimal dust but it picked up on the brush very well. When I applied it to my eyes I used a fluffy crease brush, I patted it on my eyelids with the brush first then blended it out, it went on very smooth with really no fallout and blended out nicely, the color goes on a little sheer without a base but gives a gorgeous color and shine. I tested it as a highlighter, these are bold colors for highlighters but if you’re a person who likes a bold highlight these are gorgeous, I dusted them on with a fluffy highlight brush and when they hit the light they beam. I also tried them as a top-coat for lipstick, they give the lipstick a metallic duo chrome like finish, great for changing up a lip color.

The texture of the formula was dustier, a little drier to the touch, and I found they layered best over still-drying cream products or shimmery eyeshadows but did not work well over a dried, matte cream eyeshadow. The dustier formula made them very blendable as a cheek highlighter, though, and of all the ways I tried the product, they were easiest and had the most noticeable shift applied as highlighters, whether alone or layered over another cheek color. They layered best over matte and satin finish lip products, as they seemed to get absorbed and muted by more emollient formulas.

This palette contains: - 4 x 0.05 oz/ 1.53 g Holographic Shades in Emerald (green) Saphyre (blue) Amethyst (ultra-violet) Opal (pink) What it is formulated WITHOUT: - Parabens - Sulfates - Phthalates

Emerald

Emerald is a pale, greenish-white that shifted from pink to golden green. It had good color payoff with a soft, lightly dusty texture. The product lasted for seven hours as an eye product and eight hours as a cheek product.

Saphyre

Saphyre is a bluish white with pink base that shifted to a cool, bluish sheen. The pigmentation was mostly opaque, while the texture was a touch dusty but blendable and easy to use on the skin. It wore well for eight hours as a cheek highlighter and seven and a half hours as an eyeshadow.

Amethyst

Amethyst is a light-medium lavender with cool undertones and a bluish-violet sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied well to bare skin, both on the eyes and on the cheeks, as well as most products I attempted to layer it with (but it seemed dustiest over cream eyeshadows that had dried down completely). It wore well for eight hours on as a highlighter and eight hours as an eyeshadow.

Opal

Opal is a muted, dirty beige with a pink to violet shift paired with a pearly sheen. The consistency was soft, blendable, and just a touch dusty. I felt like it looked drier on my bare eyelid, but it was fine over another product. On cheeks, I did not notice any dryness from the product itself. The product lasted for eight hours as a cheek highlighter and seven hours as an eyeshadow on me.

I used Amethyst in these pictures. One picture has more light (natural window light)

Neocell Products for Thinning Hair

I have been using NeoCell products for a few months now with truly amazing results. My hair was thin, dry and dull before. Now I have lots of new hair growth, minimal hair loss, increased volume, shine and strength! These are the very best products for hair, skin and nails that I have ever seen or tried. NeoCell delivers real results that you can see!

NeoCell Beauty Infusion Collagen drink comes in three delicious flavors. I have the Tangerine Twist flavor, which was delicious! This isn’t just a collagen drink either. Each serving of NeoCell Beauty Infusion Collagen drink contains 6,000 MG of NeoCell collagen™ Type 1 & 3, 50 MG of Hyaluronic Acid for skin hydration & renewal, 3,000 MCG of Biotin for support of strong hair & nail growth, and Alpha Lipoic Acid & Vitamin C for protection from free radical damage & enhancement of collagen formation. You get a power packed drink in every single scoop. The collagen drink can be mixed with water or any non-dairy drink that you choose. I enjoyed this collagen drink so much. The orange flavor was natural tasting and delicious. It wasn’t overly sweet or bitter tasting at all. The drink mix was also very easy to mix with water which was what I used.

If you are experiencing the same symptoms or know someone who is, it is worth it to try out these products. For more information, please follow NeoCell on Facebook and Twitter.

Define and Embrace Your Pretty Curls

www.curls.biz

If you have natural curly hair, you understand that it can be a challenge to maintain. You see women in magazines with beautiful defining curls with no trace of imperfection, and you tell yourself, “I WANT THAT”! But how?


Curls is whole-heartily dedicated to controlling, moisturizing, de-frizzing, and embracing the natural curls of every woman and man out there. Curly hair is bold, natural, and beautiful. If one’s hair is not naturally straight, straight hair must be obtained by applying heat. Whether you blow dry your hair to a straight finish or straighten your hair between two hot plates, or the use of a hot tool styling brush, heat is always the answer whether we like it or not. Most individuals do not know how to properly apply heat to their hair to avoid damage at all costs, including the right temperature to use. Taking a break from straightening and heating your hair to avoid heat overload, let your hair breathe and rest naturally. If you have naturally wavy or super curly hair once wet and naturally set, you want to take care of them, the right way. Naturally curly hair needs to be moisturized and maintained.

Blueberry Bliss Cleanser is a shampoo dedicated to weightless waves. If you are curious to know if this is for you and your hair, this is geared towards those with wavy hair that need weightless moisture. This cleanser gives the perfect amount of hydration. The light, moisturizing formula, made with organic ingredients, that fights frizz, detangles and sets you up for a defined, wavy look. After using this product I found their wavy hair so lightweight and it lasted all day! Curious on how to use it?

• Apply cleanser to wet hair, focusing on the ends.
• Use your fingers to gently glide the product through your waves to moisturize and detangle.
• Rinse as needed.

Blueberry Bliss Reparative Hair Mask

For those of you with super dry curls, especially from putting excessive heat to it, Curl Hair Intense Moisture Treatment is for you! This rich, creamy, deep Conditioning Treatment drenches dehydrated hair with Chamomile for long-lasting moisture, protection and shine.

How to use:

• Glide a generous amount through wet hair with your fingertips and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Rinse well. Use one to two times per week or as needed.

This is me loving my curls!

With all the beauty brands out there, you’ll want to reach for the best quality organic ingredients, and that’s why I am writing this post.

Both RE3 the oil cleanser and serum are made with both essential and skin-specific oils that all work together to purify pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, regenerate cells, heal existing skin abrasions, reduce pore size, and moisturize the skin. The oils also fade the appearance of dark spots and scarring, brightening the skin. All of these skin-loving components help to evenly balance the oils in your skin, leaving you with smooth, clear and radiant skin that will have you glowing naturally. With both having relaxing oil aromas, with the Grapefruit Essential Oil being the most powerful scent. These Scents are purely organic and unlike other artificial fragrances, won’t irritate skin and clog pores.
