LYDA BEAUTY Cleopatra Cat Eye Stamp Review

Friday, February 2, 2018

Disclaimer I received these products for free for my honest opinion I would only recommend products that I truly love and would use myself.

I would say over the past year I have tried to do my best to get that cat winged eyeliner going on but I can't quite get it. I have hooded eyelids that make it a little difficult to have a winged eyeliner but not with this LYDA Cleopatra Cat Eye Stamp before hearing about this Cleopatra stamp I have heard of eye stamps before and saw a few reviews but wasn't sure it would work for me. I absolutely love makeup so when I had the opportunity to give it a try, of course, I said yes.

Gabriel Cosmetics Review

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

I am really loving this lipstick it's very smooth whenever applied it also comes in a variety of beautiful colors. This lipstick is guaranteed to keep your lips moisturized and smooth all day and all night. The color I reviewed is called Meritage this color is perfect for fall time but also great for spring summer all year long. It's kind of a maroon-ish purpleish plum color. I am loving their cosmetics and hope to buy them in the future.

Enriched with nourishing Ingredients this exquisite long lasting formula provides natural, luxuriant lip color with all-day or night hydration.

SKU: 5417

Another product I was able to review is their blendable blush in the color Dahlia this is a three in one color that is great for the cheeks lips and eyes. I am really loving this color for spring time and blends great I really just love It in general.

There blush is very pigmented in a little goes a long way.

The three in one product for the classic modern woman on the go! The gluten-free multi pot colors add a subtle sun kissed flush that is blendable and buildable. Another Gabriel secret to mistake-proof beauty.

Details & Usage

Three in one product for eyes, lips and cheeks.

About Gabriel Cosmetics:

Leaders in Organic Beauty Products

Founded by Gabriel De Santino in 1992, Gabriel Cosmetics Inc. originated as a botanical skincare company drawing on Gabriel’s personal influences and childhood experiences of homeopathic skincare and cosmetics. Today, the brand has vastly grown into a beauty empire with the addition of Gabriel Color, ZuZu Luxe, and Clean Kids Naturally, making up a diverse collection of cosmetics and children’s skincare products to join the existing Gabriel Organics Skincare.

Gabriel Cosmetics Inc. started with a vision of natural beauty and has evolved with the philosophy of sustainable individual natural beauty while continuing to advocate healthy living. This philosophy is translated through their organic skincare and vegan and gluten-free cosmetics, both collections created to bring out a woman’s natural existing beauty.

About Gabriel

Drawing from his grandmother’s homeopathic practices and teachings, Gabriel De Santino, CEO and Founder of Gabriel Cosmetics, Inc. always believed that the sea embodies special healing and revitalizing properties. As a young child, Gabriel frequented his grandmother’s home near the coast of Mexico where he learned the significance of seaweed and kelp. As his curiosity heightened and his passion for healthy living and natural beauty developed, he knew it was his calling to bring these special properties to the forefront and become an advocate for all natural and organic beauty products. By carrying his grandmother’s wisdom for healthy alternatives as he began his beauty empire in 1992, Gabriel developed a vegan and gluten free skincare line, full of sea-derived ingredients called Gabriel Skincare. By using 100% natural ingredients including plant oils, extracts, and botanicals, his high-quality skincare products are non-allergenic and fragrance-free, consisting of a complete collection suited for every woman’s skincare needs.

As Gabriel continued to make his mark on the organic beauty products and industry, he wanted to expand his brand to offer a wider variety of products to healthy beauty addicts. In 1995, he launched a cosmetics line, Gabriel Color and in 2001 ZuZu Luxe by Gabriel Cosmetics, which is also an all natural, vegan, and gluten free makeup collection. Gabriel later introduced Clean Kids Naturally to round out his all natural, organic beauty products collection, with something for every age. Additionally, Gabriel Skincare evolved into what is now Gabriel Organics.

Through consistent research, product development and direct consumer interaction, Gabriel keeps his finger on the pulse of new healthy beauty developments and continues to be one of the leaders in beauty and wellness. Gabriel Cosmetics, Inc. is a pioneer in the all natural beauty industry and is based in Seattle, Washington.

Natural Vegan Lipstick Review

Monday, January 5, 2015

I love this new Vegan lipstick I got from Natural Vegan they have such a cute and sleek packaging that is the first thing that caught my eye and the beautiful color. The color I choose was "The Goodness" this color is so beautiful and is more like a soft pink color and it's very beautiful. It also goes on very smooth and has no smell to it!!

All that with no hidden chemicals and no preservatives.

Ageless Derma Pressed Powder Foundation Review

Thursday, October 16, 2014

I excited to tell you about Ageless Derma Pressed Powder Foundation I have never found a powder like foundation that really worked for my skin and had great coverage until now and I am being honest this foundation is awesome it covered up all my flaws. Even after I have had it on most of the day I found that my skin never became as oily as it had before. Basically it's a pressed powder and you use just like you would do a loose foundation make sure not to apply a lot of pressure on the product then you will just have a mess. Swirl tap and then apply it's so easy to apply. Here are a few picture of before and after shots of a bare face then my face with the pressed foundation.

Before

After

Big difference right?? I love this foundation and will continue to keep using it and it makes my skin feel so smooth!!

Until now, it was tough to find the perfect makeup fit for your skincare needs. You want excellent, flawless coverage that is light as a feather and will take care of any uneven pigmentation. You desire a full range of attractive shades to enhance your natural beauty. You need a product that will brighten up your face, help you look and feel younger, and have only natural ingredients that won't be harmful. No company other than Ageless Derma can fit that bill of goods in every respect. While other cosmetics simply cover up flaws, Ageless Derma goes to bat for you at a deeper level. The ingredients used are completely provided by Mother Nature, developed and approved by dermatologists, physicians, and researchers, and will work to prevent wrinkles from occurring in the first place, especially when sun exposure is the main culprit. Ageless Derma's Natural Mineral makeup is unique in its content and its method of action. Ageless Derma's Natural mineral makeup line contains the essential natural ingredients Vitamin A, Vitamin E and green tea extracts. Only Ageless Derma's mineral makeup will conceal your flaws as it heals and strengthens the skin. This is virtually THE only mineral cosmetic line that is anti aging, a wrinkle preventative, free of PARABENS, a natural sun protectant, and a favorite of women who know how to care for their skin and look great doing so. NATURALLY GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN Ageless Derma mineral makeup contains natural anti-inflammatories, such as the green tea extracts that are a vital part of the formulations. Green tea extracts are 100% natural and can actually slow down many of the signs of aging, right before your eyes. The anti-inflammatory aspects of this makeup make it an excellent choice for those who have even the most sensitive types of skin. The Vitamins A and E found in Ageless Derma mineral makeup are natural antioxidants that help with skin cell turnover.

Ageless Derma Natural Camoufleur Concealer Review

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

I am a big fan of makeup and whenever I have the chance to try something new out I jump at the chance to try new things. I was really excited when I got this concealer from Ageless Derma. This concealer is amazing at hiding imperfections and believe me I have a lot. I have put this under my eyes where I have dark circles and I have also used this for the redness around my nose area too. The first time I used this I knew I was going to love it. Though I was a little sad because the plastic to the top of the concealer broke off.

Camoufleur Concealer

The Ageless Derma line of mineral makeup includes the dynamic Camoufleur Concealer that is ideal for covering up imperfections of the skin such as scars or brown spots or port wine stains that distract from the skin’s beauty. This versatile mineral make up concealer provides a natural look that is long lasting and will also cover those dark circles beneath the eyes, so it is an anti-aging makeup that will conceal those visible signs of aging.

With a natural look and a creamy formula that will revitalize your skin with coverage that is flawless and healthy for your skin, you will love Ageless Derma Camoufleur Concealer. It is a 100% mineral make-up that comes in beautiful shades to cover any skin’s imperfections, plus it is free of parabens.

Directions: Use the Camouflage Brush to provide longer lasting coverage so you will utilize less concealer.

Mineral Hygienics Review

Friday, June 14, 2013

I love Mineral Hygienics this is the new summer foundation I have been using all spring and using this summer too. It is very light weight but offers full coverage without the full coverage feeling. I received 3 foundations to try and 1 powder and a bronzer/blush. I love all the colors ones I received were fairly light, Fairest, fair, bronzer, powder, and also a nice Kabuki brush I keep in my makeup bag for on the go.

Blush/Bronzer

About Mineral Hygienics:

Our mission at Mineral Hygienics is to be the premier cosmetic manufacturer focusing on using natural products to promote health. We use natural ingredients to develop superior cosmetics that meet and exceed customer expectations we will not compromise on quality. In order to accomplish this objective, Mineral Hygienics strives to build lasting relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees.

Superior Cosmetics: Superior Cosmetics is why we are in business. When Mineral Hygienics develops a product, there is both reason and logic in its formula. Every product has a purpose, and the reason for conception is to be better than the competition. It is not our plan to release thousands of sub-par products, and saturate the market. Before our customers even use a product, we want them to feel comfort knowing that it was developed with care and reason, and after they use the product we want them to be so excited that they feel the need to share the excitement with others around them.

Lasting Relationships: We build lasting relationships on a solid foundation of ethics and good business practices. We want our relationships to grow strong. To achieve this we are personable, competent, moral, and flexible. We provide the personal touch…Come feel it.

These foundations really are nice they give you a great amount. In these I just poked holes in the plastic instead of taking the sticker off because there would be a big mess. I did accidentally take one of the plastic pieces off but the other ones I left because that was a big mess. I have nothing bad to say about this makeup and the great thing is it's 100% natural and long lasting and has better coverage.

I will be using this all summer and maybe into the winter too. It is perfect!! If you want to follow them to see what they are up to check out their Facebook !!
