 Ageless Derma Mineral Foundation

Everyone knows that makeup is a huge passion of mine, so I get super excited. I was thrilled to be able to review Ageless Derma Mineral Foundation. I chose the shade "Barely There" because I am very fair skinned.

I had never tried mineral pressed powder before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I love the packaging on Ageless Derma products, and I love that the compact includes a mirror for those little touch ups. You also receive quite a generous amount, as the pan is quite large.

My first impressions of this product was that it was very silky. I loved the way it applied to my skin, though usually I prefer a more full coverage. This would be great over liquid foundation to set it for all day coverage.

One thing I didn't like, was the applicator that came with it. I usually have this problem with most applicators. I end up throwing them away. I think using the same pouf over and over again can become unsanitary, so I would rather use brushes. I also think you would get a much better application and finish using a face brush.

I love that Ageless Derma products are NOT tested on animals. This is very important to me, and when I can help it, I try not to buy products that are tested on Animals. This product also contains various vitamins and minerals to help out your skin!

I think this is a great product! This would be great for people who want a medium coverage foundation, or who want to set a liquid foundation.

Review: Ageless Derma Natural Camoufleur Concealer

Before

After

I am a truly picky person when it comes to cosmetics, especially "face products" such as foundation and concealer. It is my personal opinion that those two things are one of the most very important part of your routine. Without a good base, how can you build a great look? You can't. 

When I first opened this concealer I was very surprised by how small the container was. Though the first time I applied it I realized why; A little certainly goes a long way with this particular concealer. I am 100% satisfied with this concealer. I would even go as far as to say that it is one of the best I have ever tried. The coverage is wonderful. It feels great on my skin. It does not look "cakey" at all, as it almost has a mousse like texture. 

I was also very intrigued by the ingredients in this concealer. They all seemed so much better compared to my other concealers that I have in my makeup collection. I was also kind of excited to see horseradish as one of the ingredients. Horseradish has natural antiseptic properties, and can cause a slight inflammation which leads to more supple skin. This did not irritate my skin at all, and it did not smell bad. 

This is a great product!

Review: Logona Natural Body Care and Cosmetics

Logona Cosmetics

I will admit, I am a makeup addict. I especially hold a special place in my heart for natural makeup. Especially natural makeup that WORKS.

When I received my package of Logona Cosmetics, I was so surprised. Everything I received was packaged beautifully. I received four different products: Cream foundation Perfect Finish in Light beige, Eyeshadow trio 01, Concealer Cream 01 in Pearl, and Fluid Eyeliner in Black.

My favorite product I received was the Cream foundation. I love the coverage, and the way it applies. It is a medium coverage cream foundation, but covers my imperfections well, while still letting me skin shine form underneath. I have a problem with freckles, especially in the summertime. The sun makes them really pop out, and I try to cover them up as much as I can. I was out in the sun for a while this afternoon, and then came inside to do my face for the pictures for this review, and this did a great job covering my freckles! This does not go on cake-y, and looks natural when applied.

The Concealer is also a miracle worker. I have really dark under eye circles and this does a great job covering them up! Great pigmentation and coverage. This is absolutely spectacular for my under eyes. Now when I go way too long without sleep, no one would notice. This has been a lifesaver the past week or so.

 

Check out my face! I used LOGONA Products for this look!

Now, for the eye shadow. This new trio has been my go-to eye shadow since I got it. The shadows are so creamy feeling; they blend absolutely wonderfully. The are build-able and the colors go together perfectly. I don’t know how many times I have bought an eye shadow palette, and the colors CLASH! Basically making them unusable together. This is not the case with these. Great quality, and they last all day. They also have basically no fallout, which is great for pearly finish eye shadows.

 

Lastly, I want to tell you about the Fluid Eyeliner. How many times have you worn liquid eyeliner and it flakes?! That has to be my biggest pet peeve when it comes to eyeliner. I wear liquid eyeliner everyday, and I have to say Logona’s is THE BEST I have ever tried. It’s super dark, and it’s not thick, so you can get nice thin lines if you want. And it stays ALL DAY LONG. Great Product!

I did not receive anything from there that I didn’t love. Their products are also Natural!

“Strict ingredient quality standards have always been fundamentally important to LOGONA product formulation and manufacturing. LOGONA products utilize the highest quality, natural raw materials, such as premium vegetable oils and waxes, herbal extracts and essential oils derived from organic agriculture and wildcrafting.

Logona Also does not test on Animals! It is very hard to find quality makeup in this day in age where the company does not test on animals! I finally found a cosmetic line that I can feel good about using!

Review: Everyday Minerals

Everyone who knows even a little bit about me knows that I am a makeup fanatic. My favorite products are face products: Foundation, Blush, Bronzers, and powders. I was so excited when I received Everyday Minerals in the mail. “The Real You” kit has everything you need in it to create a wonderful fully finished face. The kit includes four finishing powders in four different shades: Bronzed, Pearl, Finishing Dust n(original), and Sunlight. The kit also includes Calm and Collected Skin Tint, and Poised to perfection skin tint. It also includes a flat kabuki brush.

 

The quality of these really surprised me. I loved these! I used the darker shades for contouring, and the lighter shades to set my face. The finishing powders set my makeup beautifully and it lasted all day. This was not cakey or heavy on my face.

 Everyday Minerals Finishing Dusts are translucent powders that serve to set your makeup and get rid of excess shine. They are suitable for all skin shades, from Fair to Light to Medium to Dark.

 The Kabuki brush was also a great quality. It was very dense and very soft. I have tried kabuki brushes before, and some of them are “scratchy”. They don’t blend the makeup very well. This one definitely gets the job done the way it is supposed to be.

The SKIN TINTS are wonderful products for the skin that range from a soft glow to matte with skin tone shades. It can be worn over your usual foundation base, or all on it's own. Simply, it offers a subtle, sheer and translucent tint of color so that the skin is not masked. Instead, skin is instantly brightened, radiant, and warm. Expect a nice, light feel on the skin, that's powdery in texture and leaves your complexion totally gorgeous.

These powders are also very build-able. You can get sheer coverage, or add more to get a more medium coverage.

Everyday minerals are hand crafted, 100% Vegan, and do not test on Animals. There is also no Mineral Oil, Carmine, Parabens, Parrafin, or Synthetic Fragrance.

Review: Cowgirl Dirt Cosmetics

I was so  excited when my samples came in the mail from Cowgirl Dirt. As soon as I got teh package open I started swatching everything! Everything was beautiful! I received ten product samples, all different things from their line. 
Eye shadow- Cowgirl Up
Eye shadow- Honey Suckle
Eye shadow- Pistol Pink
These three colors worked and blended so well together. I was able to create a pinky/purply smokey eye with them with the most ease. The pigmentation was some of the best I have ever seen with mineral eye shadows. Hardly any fallout at all. I was super impressed with these. 

I also received Two Mineral powder foundations, in two different shades. Again, hands down the best mineral foundation I have ever tried. Very good coverage, and it didn't make my face look cakey. 
I also got to try their concealer in Neutral Light. This was OK. Perfect for under the eyes, and is build-able to hide blemishes, though it takes a few layers. It sits very nice on the skin and doesn't give me any creases, or cause any excess oil production.
Their Cream foundation.... I am in love with. Great coverage, it feels great on your face, it's not heavy, and it doesn't make me break out, or cause dryness!! The most perfect foundation. 

Their Yeehaw lipsticks are also wonderful. I loved the two shades that I got: Cash and Seattle Slew. 

This is a great line of products, everything I received, I really liked. 

Cowgirl Dirt products are made with the purest natural and organic ingredients. Our collection of mineral-based products not only enhances your natural beauty, but also contains vitamins, nutrients and anti-oxidants that nourish your skin. You can be confident that you will not only look your best, but feel your best when wearing Cowgirl Dirt!

I would rate these a 9/10!

Review: Wet n' Wild Ultimate Match Foundation

I recently purchased this foundation at my local Kmart. They are going out of business and it was 50% off, so I thought "why not?"

I was not expecting much from a Wet n' Wild foundation. For the most part I am pleased, though this is a light/medium coverage and I personally prefer more full coverage. It blends together nicely, but you must do it quickly because it dries FAST. I would recommend doing you face in segments. 

I do have to say, I love the way this sit on my skin, it is not heavy or cakey and looks very natural. It also blends with my natural skin tone very well. 

For the price that I paid, I am very satisfied with this product, but will probably continue to use my other everyday foundation because it has more coverage. 

I give this product an 8/10.

Uploading Palette Collection!!

Hello All!

I am uploading my Palette Collection video to YouTube right at this moment. For some reason though now, it takes AGES for a video to upload.. last night it took All Night Long. Literally. I started it while I was awake and it went until like 5 this morning. Luckily for me, I was sleeping for most of it. I thought I would try uploading into a different format today, but it is still taking an unbelievably long time to process and upload. Maybe it's my internet connection?

Anyway! As I did with my Peacock Eye Shadow Tutorial, I will post the video here once it is uploaded (So probably tomorrow morning).

Here is some information on my palettes that I currently have until my ELF order comes in (which will HOPEFULLY be tomorrow, weather permitting). 

The first Palette is a 24 color Profusion Palette. The colors are very vibrant and pigmented, but I would recommend a primer and setting spray, as they do tend to wear off easily.

The Next palette is a 15 Color Concealer Palette. I bought this product from Amazon. I love love love these concealers. The coverage is great, and the colors are easily blend-able and turn almost powdery once set.

The next THREE palettes were all one in the same. The same Palette in different shades. The ELF 36 Color Eye Shadow Palette. These come in three different varieties, Everyday, Brights and Natural, I show all three in my video. I love ELF shadows, and I love the company. It's one of my favorites!

The Next palette is a 66 Color Lip Palette. This palette has every color under the sun in it, and all the colors are great. it does have a very weird smell to it, but it does not bother me. If you are one of those people which smell bothers you, then I wouldn't recommend this product.

Next up is a 6 Color Contour Palette. I love this palette. They are all matte colors, and easily build-able for an everyday or dramatic look!

The next palette is a Blush Palette. I couldn't find the exact palette that I purchased, but this one is similar. I love the colors in this palette! There is a perfect tone for everyone, from the lightest to the brightest shade. 

In my video I show 2 other eye shadow palettes- One that I made, and one that was given to me as a gift. As I don't know the brand or where it was purchased, I can't give you guys a link :( The profusion palette is similar, so you could purchase one of those. The colors are great and very pigmented.

The last palette is (I remembered the brand) A Color Workshop (at least I am fairly certain) Palette. i sadly, could not find a link to this product as I think it was some sort of limited edition palette. It's your basic 96 color eye shadow palette that you can find anywhere. 

And those are my palettes as of right now... I'm super excited to get my other three in the mail soon! As well as the other products I ordered... Hopefully I remember to film the unboxing, before I rip everything open like a kid on Christmas morning. 

Again- Thanks for listening to my rambles. Have a great day!!

Peacock Eye Shadow Tutorial!

This is the Eye Shadow tutorial I filmed yesterday! As I type this i am also working on editing my palette Collection video :D YouTube literally took AGES to upload this video, so I'm going to try and play around with file formats... blah blah blah. Anyway! I hope you all have a great and wonderful day!!

I have been away!!

Hello Folks!
I have been away for SO long! Life took hold of the reins there for a while... I was helping raise a set of twins when their mom wasn't in the best place in life, also trying to balance a house and a husband... BUT! Now I'm back!!!

I thought I would jump right into it. Today I filmed 3 videos! The first was a foundation routine... that well... let's just say my computer ate it.. I can't find the files because of the recording software I was using...! So I lost hours of editing and filming. The second video I said screw it, and just went back to filming on my webcam. I have gotten a new laptop since my last posts so this webcam is way better in quality, it records in 480p, instead of 140. That being said, the next video I filmed was something I have never actually done before! I filmed a Peacock Eye Shadow Tutorial, which I am currently in the process of uploading to my YouTube Channel. The final video that I filmed today was my current Palette Collection. I still have to edit this video, but it will be up shortly.

Later in the week or early next week, I will receive my shipment of ELF products that I ordered late last week. I hit an awesome sale! I will either film an unboxing or Haul video of that :)

Thank you for visiting my blog and listening to my rambles for the day!
Visit my youtube channel, and continue to check back in with this blog. I will be updating frequently.

Kisses,
Caity <3

Going out look...

I just did my friends makeup for a date. I have to edit the video, because there are several times I stepped in front of the camera. I will put a finished look up tomorrow.
She never wears full faced makeup, and that is exactly what I did, complete with countouring and a winged out smokey eye.
Stay tuned for pictures and videos.
