Review: Essie disappearing trick


 Essie disappearing trick

I've never tried a cuticle remover before, so when I came across "disappearing trick" by Essie I had to pick it up.
It has a soft rubber applicator which makes applying the product easy and precise.  The formula is thin, but still quite hydrating.  It's also sent-less which might be something some of you may look for in a product.

The results are quite noticeable, and definitely give my nails an overall cleaner look.  I haven't taken care of my nails enough in the past, but after using this product I'm quite motivated to do so!

Retails for: $8-$9

Review: Garnier BB Cream

 Garnier BB Cream
BB cream has been long popularized in the Asian beauty community, and it's only now that America is catching on.  The hype finally started to spread throughout the US and Canada, and now many popular American brands are creating their version of the BB cream.  I've always been curious about the true nature of a BB cream, so I decided to try and get my hands on the Garnier Skin Renew in light/medium. 

 Immediately I thought, "oh no, this is definitely wayyy to dark for my skin!" I am fairly pale this time of year, and initially because of my horrible application, it was too dark.  I squeezed out what seemed to be reasonable amount of product, but which ended up being way to much.  I attempted to blend the product as much as I possibly could, but had a slightly "orangey" result.  Since then, I realized that a little goes a long way, and I've really grown to love it!


There isn't a crazy difference, but it does even my complexion enough to be noticeable, and it's very hydrating (which is something my skin desperately needs in a product).

I got my sister to try the cream as well.  She has oily skin and I was curious to find out whether it would be suitable for her as well.  She found the formula blended evenly, and with a little time, it settled in creating a dewy look.  I do recommend setting this cream with a powder if you have oily skin though, just to increase lasting power.

I've been using a really pigmented concealer to cover any "problem areas," but overall the BB cream works well in my makeup routine.

A con to this product is definitely the colour range.  I know BB creams are not known to come in a great variety of colours, but even the 2 options given by Garnier will not cover all their basis.  They offer light/medium, and medium/dark.  This is something that could definitely be worked on.  Other then that, I would give this cream a go if you're in the market for something hydrating, sheer, but with just enough coverage for everyday use!  It's also SPF 15!

I recommend buying this product at Wal-Mart where I managed to pick it up for $12, as opposed to Shoppers who were selling it for $20.

MAC: Products and Swatches


We don't have a MAC counter or store where I live, so when my parents went to Montreal this week they kindly picked me up a couple things on my wish list!

 Woodwinked

Swatch

 Frankly Scarlet

 Swatch

 217 Brush



I've wanted woodwinked and frankly scarlet since I saw Tanya Burr, or pixi2woo, (YouTube linked below) use them in a few tutorials.  They are just amazing in person as they were on camera, and I'm so excited to finally have my hands on them!  Frankly Scarlet is much more vivid then it seems in these pictures, so if you're picking this one up be sure to use a light hand when applying.  As for the MAC 217 brush, well all I can saw is that it's about time I owned one!  I feel like only now I can call myself a real makeup lover/bloger/vloger!
