FINALLY! A stay matte foundation that doesn't dry out my sensitive skin! In a search for a new foundation,I came upon L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte foundation and it was love at first sight!
First off I found a color that completely matches my skin tone and that is not an easy task!
This foundation does exactly what it says! It lasts and lasts.
Application is smooth with and blends easy and seamlessly.The finish is a semi matte that doesn't look powdery or cakey on my aging skin and that is always a plus!
With or without a primer,this foundation performs! It looks natural and yet the coverage is medium to full and very buildable.
It is a dupe for Clinique's Stay Matte foundation (Review coming soon!) without the high price.Easily affordable and readily available makes this my go to matte foundation..

I am finding that with Maybelline,the products are hit or miss and in my opinion,their Nudes Eye shadow falls into the "miss" category.For this particular review, I am going to break it down into pros and cons.
My review is based on both of the Maybelline Nude palettes in "Nudes" and "Blushed Nudes"
PROS
-Affordable
-Readily Available
-Gorgeous colours
CONS
-Lacks pigment
-Lacks staying power
-Dry
-Chalky
-Hard to pick up product
-Hard to blend
Sad to say that this product has more cons than pros.I loved the colors and wanted this palette to work! I tried without primer and with primer and various other ways to get the product to perform...and it failed in all regards.
Should Maybelline decide to change the formula of the product,then I would be more than happy to give it another go.

I am a huge believer in cleansing oil.Other cleansers strip my sensitive skin leaving it dry and undernourished.
I have used other cleansing oils over the past few years including some very high end ones,but always come to back to Dr Morita Deep Cleansing oil.
Unlike other facial cleansers,cleansing oils contain no soaps or harsh chemicals which may strip the skin of moisture,leaving your facial skin dull and uneven toned.
Dr Morita's Deep cleansing oil leaves your skin feel fresh and bright and moisturized and dewy.Application is easy.Apply one or two pumps of product into your palms and rub palms together.Apply your hands to your face in a gentle patting motion and gently wipe your skin,giving it a subtle massage.Massage the product in,adding a little water now and again to maintain the product's structure.
Rinse off with warm water and pat your skin dry.
Dr Morita's Deep Cleansing oil removes dirt and makeup in one simple step.It contains no harsh chemicals and is fragrance free
Cleansing oils are truly a spa like experience in facial cleansing and Dr' Morita's oil cleanser is no exception.

There are many many setting sprays on the cosmetic market these days from very high end to moderately priced and every thing in between.They all claim to do the same thing-set your makeup so it lasts longer.
I have used high end setting sprays and all leave me feeling lackluster about their overall performance.Until I discovered L'Oreal Infallible Makeup Extender setting spray! It was a drugstore find that changes my makeup game each and every day!
It has a somewhat matte finish,but doesn't leave the skin feeling dried out dull.After applying your makeup,a few spritzes is all it takes to set the makeup for the day or evening.It really does hold your makeup in place for hours and hours.
While I love the formula,I do have a slight issue with the spray bottle itself.The bottle could be changed to allow for a more mist like application instead of the current "droplet" type application.
I feel that O'Loreal Infallible makeup extender setting spray (phew long name) is worth the price in comparison to more high end setting sprays and I will continue to purchase it as my "go to' setting spray.

Opi Nail Envy has saved my nails from a lifetime of chipping/peeling.It is my MUST HAVE holy grain of nail products!
I started using Opi Nail Envy about a year ago when I noticed that my nails were less than pretty.Because of a thyroid condition,my nails had become brittle and would not grow no matter what I did!.
After reading many reviews both on the internet and Youtube,I decided to give Opi Nail Envy a try.It is not a cheap product by any means,but for those of us that want to have nice,strong nails,I found the product performance exceeds the cost.
When starting to use the product,you must apply two coats to bare nails and apply one coat every 2nd day for a week.After a week,remove the product,give yourself a nice manicure and re-apply the product.
If you are consistent,then you will notice a difference by the end of the first week!
Opi Nail Envy strengthener has made a difference in my nails and now that they are strong and healthy,I get many many compliments.

A must have for sensitive skin!! As I follow the Korean method if skin care,a foaming cleanser is a must have and because I have sensitive/aging skin,Aveeno Ultra Calming foaming cleanser is the perfect solution for me!
Aveeno Ultra calming foaming cleanser does not contain soap,perfumes or dyes which may irritate sensitive skin and it contains Feverfew,which is know to have soothing and healing properties.
It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean without that tight/stripped feeling other cleansers can give.
It's affordable and available at most department and drug stores and for us gals with sensitive skin,Aveeno Ultra calming foaming cleanser is just the answer we have been looking for.

While there is no such thing as a "miracle cream" Garnier ultralift sleeping cream does it's very best to fit the bill.The texture of this night cream is silky and soft and it absorbs into the face like melted butter.
I have been using Garnier Ultralift Miracle sleeping cream for two weeks now and I have noticed some changes in the tone and texture of my skin.My facial skin is more refined and toned with an almost "plumped" feeling to it.
It contains a proprietary blend of soothing oils and anti aging properties,such as hyaluronic acid and beta hydroxy acids to gently clarify the skin and hold in moisture.
Even after just two weeks of use Garnier ultralift miracle sleeping cream,has brightened my skin and given me back a youthful glow.
I will continue to purchase and use this product as it has met and and exceeded my expectations.
