Montagne Jeunesse Pulped Pomegranate Passion Peel Off

2011-12-20T16:55:00.000-08:00

Confession time: I was totally the little girl that would get the bottle of glue, squirt it on my hands, wait while it dried, and then peeled it off. There is just something so relaxing to me about peeling. With that being said, can you imagine my excitement to find a peel off mask in my influenster holiday vox box (complimentary). Another bonus is that they are mindful of our animal friends and don't test on them! More companies definitely need to get on the bandwagon with that one. With that being said, I loved this mask. I simply cleansed my face, applied the mask, sat back with my feet up and relaxed for 20 minutes, and went to relaxing some more by peeling the mask off! Oh, and I must warn you that this mask smells SO good you are going to want to eat it, but please fight off that temptation, because it's not meant for human consumption. Lol! The texture of this mask is like a gel and was very easy to apply. All I had to do was wait for it to dry on my face and then get to my favorite part, peeling it off! My face felt amazing. I totally felt like I was peeling of dead skin (gross again, I know, but so true). Bottom line, I definitely recommend this to anyone. And for around a buck (varies by location), you can't go wrong. Let me know what you think if you've ever tried this or if you are thinking about trying it!

NYC New York Color in New York Nude

2011-12-20T15:41:00.000-08:00

First and foremost, I must say I am totally becoming a lip junkie! With that being said, NYC's Liquid Lipshine is feeding my obsession and addiction. I need to get my hands on some more of these. But, back on to what I have for now! I received the NYC Liquid Lipshine in the color New York Nude through influenster's holiday voxbox. Since, I am a self-proclaimed lip junkie this was the first thing I tried from my box. I put a little too much on at first (well come on, I was really excited) and wasn't impressed because it had a very, very sticky texture. Then I realized just how long it stayed and slowly became very impressed. If you can stay on my lips, you are gold! Anyways, once the lip color wore off, I then (since I had calmed down from all of the excitement) applied it like a normal woman should and fell in love with the texture of it. It's just sticky enough to stick to the lips, but not overly sticky where your lips are uncomfortable. I always like a little stickiness to my glosses, because without the little bit of stick, it's going to slide right off your lips and that is no bueno for me. I'm not the reapply my lipsticks and glosses type of girl. Once it's gone, I rarely reapply throughout the day. To conclude this post, I must say I have to go and buy more. I really am impressed with this lipgloss. It has a nice texture, comfy on the lips, lasts a long time, and it smells good too. Only complaint I can actually think of is the fact that once I removed the plastic covering from the actual lipshine, there was no where on the packaging that has the color. Other than that, I am loving my NYC liquid shine lipshine!

imPRESS Press-On Manicure

2011-12-20T15:16:00.000-08:00

First let me start out by saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! This has been such an amazing year and I can't wait to begin a whole new year! Now, back on to this review! I received the imPRESS Press-On Manicure through my influenster hoiday vox box (complimentary). I was extremely excited to see that I received these babies, because I was wanting to try them, since I had seen them advertised. I received the zebra print (Dancing Queen) and fell in love with them even before I put them on. They were a bit long for my taste, but they filed down very nicely. I definitely reccommend these for a few reasons: They were SO easy to apply (less than 5 minutes), they lasted for about 3 days for me (I am extremely hard on my nails and hands. They would have lasted longer if I weren't so), and they come in SO many different designs. If prints aren't your cup of tea, no worries here. They have many different plain colors as well. So, what are you waiting for? Go get some imPRESS Press-On Manicure nails and I'm sure you will be just as impressed as I was! Oh, and how cute is the packaging? A nail polish bottle? Can it get any cuter?

Proactiv 3 Step System

2011-11-21T14:14:00.000-08:00

So, I received my influenster box this month and when I opened it, I saw the Proactiv system. I have to be honest and say that my first reaction was "oh no! This is totally going to break me out and not going to work." I also thought it was going to dry out my face. I had tried Proactiv about 3 or so years ago and it totally did not work for me one bit. It dried out my very oily skin (pretty powerful stuff if you can dry out my skin) and it seemed to really, really break me out. I can happily say that I decided to give it a second go around and I am very pleasantly pleased to say that I am having a MUCH better experience with it this time around. The face wash isn't too harsh, but is a nice exfoliating face wash. I usually don't use toners, because I don't like the whole tight face feeling I get from toners, but this one is a completely different story. No tight face here! And the repairing treatment just needs a light layer over problem areas. I also was smart this time around and am using a moisturizer after the repairing treatment, and guess what? No dry face! I am using it twice a day and am totally in love. I do still have a few breakouts, but I don't see any new ones and I see the ones I currently have going down and away! Thank you so much to Proactiv, because I believe I have finally found a skin care routine worth sticking with! Thanks also to influenster for sending me this awesome product. If it weren't for them, I would have never thought to give this awesome product a second chance. 2 thumbs up for Proactiv. Check them out here and maybe you can give it a second chance too, if you didn't have a good experience the first time! Proactiv is sold as a 30-day, 3-step system for $19.95, so go and check them out here: http://www.proactiv.com

FTC: The 3-step Proactiv system was sent to me through my Infuenster box! My opinion on this product is 100% honest!

Venus ProSkin

2011-11-10T07:19:00.000-08:00

Venus ProSkin

The Venus razors are the ONLY razors that give me a close shave. Any other razor leaves my legs feeling yucky and stubbly. Not a good feeling at all. This one, however I am not a huge fan of. I don't like the razors with "built in shaving cream." They are too bulky for me and don't give me the close shave feel that I so love and desire. I'm going to give this one another try and see if my opinion changes, but I really am the biggest fan of a 5 blade razor and this one only has 3. Have any of you ever tried Venus razors? If so, how did they work for you?

NYC 16 H Smooch Proof Lip Stain Review

2011-04-05T11:43:00.000-07:00

Back in January I was in Rite Aid and saw these on a front display and instantly picked them up. I ended up picking up two of them, one in Champagne Stain 493 and the other in Persistent Pink 490 and I believe I paid around $4.00 for each. The first thing I noticed after applying the stain (I chose the Champagne Stain today) was that it has a very yucky taste. It's not as horrible to where it is unbearable, but if you are sensitive to chemical tastes, then be aware. The smell of the stains has a slight fruity smell, yet it is masked by a pretty intense chemical smell as well. Before I get into the review of the actual staying power of these babies, here is a picture of the swatches. The top is a swatch of Persistent Pink and the bottom is Champagne Stain.

They are completely matte, so if you see some sparkle, it's because I was swatching blush earlier, so I still have traces of sparkle from that.

Here is the lip stain freshly applied. I applied the Champagne Stain (as noted earlier)

Now, on to the review: These stains are quite drying, like most other stains that I have tried. I put the stain on at around 11:30 and at 12:18, my lips had a really bad feeling of dryness. I put some lipbalm over my lips and it took care of the dryness (I used Neutrogena Natuals lip balm) Do be aware that if you put lipbalm on over the stain, it is going to transfer onto things, the lipbalm included.

Here is a picture taken 2 hours later:

All I can say is wow! For something to come with a claim of 16 hours and then not even last 2 is very disappointing in my book. My lips are also so incredibly dry I am about to go insane. So, off I go to the bathroom to get some tissue to wipe the rest of this off of my lips and on goes the lipbalm again. Let me know if you guys have any lipstains that work better than this.

Final Verdict: WILL NOT repurchase. Worthless as a lipstain, but I think it may be great as a lipliner. I would say to definitely pass by these stains and don't give them a second glance.

Loving to Shop

2011-03-26T07:12:00.000-07:00

Can anyone really tell me that they actually hate shopping? Actually, I take that back, because I personally know a few women that despise shopping and try to stay away from doing just that as much as possible. I kinda call them crazy, but hey, we all have our own things we like to do. See for me, it seems that as long as I'm spending money, I'm all good. It doesn't matter if I am buying food at the grocery store or buying my daughter's diapers and wipes, I get a rush from spending money. Is this a problem? Not in You Tube world, for sure, it's not. In the real world, probably, but I've always been this way. It's a shame I know, but I get such a rush from shopping and it just makes me feel so good. Are any of you like me? Haha! I'm sure there are many! So, with that being said, what is your MUST HAVE item for spring? Mine has been finding the perfect lilac nailpolish that actually stays on my nails for longer than 8 hours. Off to do more shopping then, I guess, huh? LOL!!! Hope you guys enjoy!

Blossom into Spring #2

2011-03-25T11:28:00.000-07:00

Okay, so spring is officially here and how many of you are jumping up and down for joy? I have really, really been enjoying the wonderful, warm weather. Even though I am not looking forward to this hot, hot summer I know we are going to have, since the weather started warming up so soon. Anyways, back to the tutorial. Here is the list of products that I used for this tutorial:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
ELF 100 Eyeshadow Palette
ELF creme eyeliner in Plum Purple
L'Oreal Lineur Intense in Black Mica
Don't remember what mascara I used (sorry)
ELF blush ($1 line) in Coy
Maybelline Lipstick in Bed of Tulips (Limited Edition Shade)
Buxom Lips Lip Gloss in Iris
Nails: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Polish Strips in Misbehaved

And here are some pictures of the look:

And now for the tutorial:

Kentral Turns 5

2011-03-18T08:45:00.000-07:00

So, I figured I would post more than just my you tube videos on here and maybe show you guys a little bit into my life as well as start posting more reviews on here rather than just on you tube. Sometimes it's really hard to post a review to a video, so I think it might be so much easier to start posting some on here. I have a big list of reviews to get done and I think I can get them done much faster on here than making videos for them, since I don't like to post to many videos all at once. Anwyays, back on to my sons birthday. He turned 5 on the 15th and I am kinda sad, but so happy about it. My baby boy is growing up :( Here are some pictures of all the fun he and our family had on his birthday weekend. Hope you guys enjoy! We took him to Chuckie Cheese's (is that how it's spelled? I don't know) on his birthday and had a blast. I am also attaching some pictures of his party that we had for him the Saturday before his party. I take a TON of pictures, I call myself a picture taking fool, so it was hard for me to pick. Hope you enjoy the loads of pictures!!! :D

Review on Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact Makeup

2011-03-18T07:27:00.000-07:00

Finally, I had time to post a review on what I think of the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Compact Makeup. My beautiful friend Katie sent it to me so long ago, but I have been so super busy. With me moving and then not and then having to unpack the whole house back into the same house was just so very stressful. Anyways, on to the review.

Love,

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous

2011-03-08T09:06:00.000-08:00

Here are my thoughts on this mascara. Now, I know it's been around for a while, but I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Maybelline mascaras that when I saw this and the wand, I had to pick it up. Let me know what your favorite mascaras of the moment are. Mine are all from Maybelline. I am LOVING the One by One, The Falsies, and this.

February Favorites

2011-03-03T09:17:00.001-08:00

I seriously cannot believe that March is here already. My baby is going to be 5 this month. I swear the past 5 years have flown by. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my February favorites. Let me know what your favorites were.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips

2011-03-01T13:21:00.000-08:00

I was a bit skeptical when I first saw these, but decided to give them a try. I was thinking that nail polish never stays on my nails longer than a day and a half, so I wasn't expecting much more out of these babies. Boy, did they surpass my expectations and then some. As I type this, well into day 6 of having these bad boys on my nails, I only have 2 nails that are chipped bad enough to even talk about. Check out my full review and let me know if you plan to pick up one of the many designs.

I am loving this trio as well. It's super shimmery, so if you are not into shimmers, this may not be the trio for you. These are nicely pigmented and very easy to blend. Here are some pictures of the look. This is not how I normally do my videos or pictures, but I have been extremely tired lately. So, sorry about the recording. I know it sounds like I'm not really into making the video. It's not that at all. I'm just super sleepy.

Wet N Wild Night Elf Look

2010-12-20T11:28:00.000-08:00

So, I have an irritated eye today. It really hurts and makes it look like the red eyeshadow is what is causing it to look red. But, no, it really is red and irritated. I hope that everyone is having a fabulous week and a wonderful holiday season. I can't believe that Christmas is only 5 days away. Crazy. I am so excited that my parents will be joining me this Christmas. It will be so nice to stay at home and have my parents here as well. My kids are really going to have a blast with them here - they always do! Now, on to the tutorial pictures. Here are the pictures I took with my camera. As most of you know, my camcorder broke and I won't be able to get a new one until the middle of January. This quality today is really bad. I think I had the camera too far back. So here are the pictures that I took.

Been a Long Time/November Favorites

2010-12-11T06:01:00.001-08:00

It's been too long since I have posted a blog. I am just laying in my bed right now just thinking. There is a lot going on right now in my life, so I haven't been sleeping well. I woke up this morning at 6:00, which is too early for a Saturday. Anywho, Christmas is almost here and there is just too many things that have been going wrong. My vacuum broke, camcorder broke, headphones broke, tire is flat, calculator broke...is that it? Not sure, but that sure is a lot of things to go all at once. It's been that much harder since it's so close to being Christmas. On a lighter note, my parents are coming for Christmas and I can't wait! They actually just left, so it's very exciting to know that they are coming back so soon. I miss my parents like crazy. I am hopefully in the process of moving to a bigger city, which also happens to be a lot closer to them. My hubby may be getting a promotion (YAY!!!) and I will then be able to follow my dream of working in the beauty industry. That is very exciting. So, right now, there is a lot of saving going on, which means, no makeup buying. Well, I take that back. I have bought a couple of things. I may post what I bought in another blog. It's so good to be back blogging again!!!

Questions to be Answered in Video

2010-01-30T18:30:00.000-08:00

Well, I am supposed to be reading and doing homework, but instead I just got an idea for an upcoming video. I don't have anyone reading or following my blog as of yet, but hopefully in the next coming weeks or months, I may have some followers. If any of my future readers have any questions they have about me or my make-up collection or techniques, please feel free to ask. My idea for an upcoming video is to have my readers ask questions and I will answer the questions and post the video to youtube. This can be an any question type deal. So, hopefully in the next couple of weeks or months (but hopefully weeks :D ) I will be uploading a video answering questions that people may have for me. I'd better get back on to my homework, so I hope everyone has a great evening!

Coastal Scents Palettes

2010-01-28T11:45:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I have seen over and over again, people raving about the Coastal Scents 88 eyeshadow palettes. So, after seeing so many people raving about them and using them so much on youtube, I decided to purchase the 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette. Oh my gosh! I can't even begin to describe my reaction when I opened my package. I was SO impressed with the vibrancy of the colors! Seeing the colors on camera don't really do them justice. I am also pleasantly pleased with the pigment of the shadows and how super blendable they are! And the best part about them are the prices! I paid $25 including tax AND shipping! I also received a pleasant surprise with my palette, a sample of one of their loose blushes! I am definitely going to purchase another palette when I have the funds to do so! Thanks to Coastal Scents for making such fabulous products at such achievable prices!

ELF Products

So, I ordered some products from Eyes, Lips, and Face (ELF) and I can't wait to get them in the mail and start using the products for my tutorials. I purchased a desk yesterday and some more storage, so I am hoping to have it set up by this weekend. I wish I could put the desk together myself, by my husband is going to have to do it, so I'm gonna have to wait :( I am hoping to get some better lighting with my new setup so my tutorials will be better. I also order the 88 Ultra shimmer palette from Coastal Scents and I can't wait to do many colorful looks with it! Can't wait! Not too much is going on today. Just in the bed when I should be working out. I bought a Wii and some fitness games to go with it, but I have been slacking so bad lately. I lost 65 pounds in 4 months, but have fallen off the bandwagon lately. I NEED to get back on and start dieting and working out again - BAD!!!! I NEED MOTIVATION!!! Anyways, I will be posting some more videos today. Maybe I will post My 10 Fav Drugstore Products today. We will see. I hope everyone has a GREAT day! xoxoxo
