My Summer Vacation Ramble

Hi everyone! Welcome back. I haven't been here in forever. This post will summarize my summer vacation, which has been great. I'm currently in Michigan visiting my family. I'll be going back home to Venezuela in a few days. This post is also somewhat a goodbye? I am going to be so busy when I get back, I don't think I'll have much time to blog as I used to before. I will though, continue to read all of your great blogs. Always feel free to leave your links below.

I'll be sharing with you some of my Instagram pictures and write a bit about each of them. You can follow me if you'd like -- due to the fact that it's such a quick way to share info, I'm always posting random beauty things. 

Make Up For Ever shade 99 is a gorgeous apple red. I don't have a shade like this in my collection, which is what originally caught my attention. If you want true color pay-off, I recommend the MUFE eyeshadows. Yes, they are a bit pricier than lets say - your traditional MAC eyeshadow, but the quality is definitely a lot better



Another gorgeous eye product to look after is Stila's Cobalt Liquid Eyeliner. Oh-my-God. I saw this on Stila's Instagram and I immediately fell in love. This blue is so gorgeous! And Stila's eyeliners are super easy to apply. It's a felt tip pen, giving you precision and control. Color pay off = incredible. 



Ooooh! And what about my August Favorites? 


Yes, I'm a big Ojon fan, and I'm also a big fan of Desert Essence's Curl Cream which I have raved about numerous times (get gorgeous curls without silicones or nasties!). But I tend to get bored of using the same products all the time and like to switch things up. So I went back to Moroccan Oil products which I used around five years ago. The combination of their oil and Curl Cream smells divine - of course - but also leave my curls bouncy and soft without any crunchiness. It was very, very humid in Detroit a few days ago, and my curls survived. 

The Lorac Pro to Go is a fabulous palette and in my opinion, highly worth it. You get six eyeshadows, two blushes, a bronzer and two small brushes. The quality of the makeup is superb (yet it doesn't surprise me, it's Lorac!) but the brushes are OK

The Ojon Rare Blend Tamer is a product that hasn't had a lot of mention. It's available on Ojon's website, not on Sephora (online nor stores) although I got mine at an Origins store. Yep, it seemed weird to me as well! I asked the ladies why they were carrying another brand and they said that Ojon shares their same philosophy. I dunno. Anyway - a must have as well! I always carry it in my purse. It immediately gets rid of any flyaways. I love using this whenever I'm wearing a ponytail or bun. Much better than adding water (to further enhance the annoying little curls) or gel (nobody likes that sticky, wet look). 

Stila's Liquid Lipstick in the shade Beso is another product I've raved about before. Opaque, matte, gorgeous... 

The By Terry Touchee Veloutee concealer won the battle against the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer (I wanted to get a new concealer and was in between those two). I like the coverage and love the fact that it does not crease at all

Anastasia Brow Whiz. Yes, she's the queen of eyebrows. 

I'm in love with REN. I really am. That rhymes. It's hard to find nowadays brands that are genuinely clean yet good. REN does it. I learned on this trip that my skin is actually normal. The combination aspect of it has more to due with my skin's response to weather (heat, humidity) and not using the appropriate products. The REN Vita-Mineral Day Cream is lovely. A little goes a long way and it skin drinks it up quickly. (PS: I've been using the REN Frankincense Night Cream [sample] and it is divine! And the Glycolactic Mask is worth the hype.)

Talking about skin - my skin has never looked this good before!


I had a skin consultation with a Sephora beauty advisor who gave me samples of what she tried/recommended. I give credit to Perricone MD Blue Plasma and Ole Henrikesen Truth Serum. I'll actually be getting the full sizes. All I can say is: Wow. Thank you Mr. Perricone and Mr. Henriksen. 

Best part of having better skin? Makeup goes on better, and you use less of it!


My sister-in-law, my sister and I. 

My mom, my sister-in-law, my sister and I

To end things on a sweet note, if you're ever in the US and you're a chocoholic like myself, go to Cold Stone and order the following:

"Chocolate Devotion, but Reese's Butter Cups instead of chocolate chips."

Chocolate ice cream, fudge, brownie and Reese's Butter Cups. You're welcome.



Have a beautiful week everyone! xoxo

Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face Oil Review

My love for facial oils initiated a couple of years ago when I was introduced to the Clarins Blue Orchid Face Oil. I was extremely hesitant, like most people with combination/oily skin, to add oil to my skin. The idea of it seemed absurd to me, but then again, I was clueless as to how certain oils could actually benefit the skin, and even better, control the production of sebum. 

I'm excited to review the Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face Oil because I have literally used it every single day for the last three months. Which says a lot considering I tend to switch things up for testing reasons. Enjoy.

Current Night Time Skin Routine

Tea Tree Oil: A Natural Alternative For Spots

Whether you have acne-prone skin or you suffer from the odd breakout during, I'm pretty sure you've all tried a spot-treatment in your lifetime. Most of them made out of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Problem is, they can be a little drying. There are also products out there which contain sulfur and alcohol. Those can be harsh as well. You don't want to irritate any areas that are already sensitive. Lately, I've been trying to be kinder to my skin, so I went back to good old Tea Tree Oil. Enjoy!

WEI Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask Review

Happy beginning of May to everyone! Is it already May? What? 

As you all know, I'm a huge fan of face masks and really, anything that you can do at home to pamper yourself. My little sister has been taking advantage of my I like to pamper others personality and I've spoiled her to weekly face masks as well before she goes away to college. No, but really, I always set myself a couple of days a week for my ultimate pampering sessions. Not only does it beautify, but it also de-stresses. So light up some candles, get your essential oils out and your comfiest PJ's because I'm about to review a spa-like face mask. 

If you're interested, please continue reading.

Huge Beauty Haul

Hi dolls!

I have made a video for you about my haul. Initially, it was going to be a blog post, but I felt like making a video. 

Products I didn't mention in the video are the Koh Gen Do Cleanser, just because I have not used it yet and I bought it because I forgot to bring my Bioderma Sensibio. I'm using something else at the moment to remove my makeup, but I got a small bottle of the Koh Gen Do cleansing water to correct any mistakes while I am doing my makeup and my family's makeup for my brother's wedding. 

I also didn't include my new Mac Palette. I got mostly neutrals. I have to depot the ones I have at home when I get back. 

Shades in no particular order: Wedge, Ricepaper, Shroom, Saddle, Soft Brown, Samoa Silk, Beautiful Iris, Stars and Rockets

Onto the video now:

Super Sephora Haul!

Hi dolls! And guys if you read me, too.

I have no idea how I'm still awake. It is 9:45pm Eastern Time and I've been awake since 2AM. Yup. The flight went fine. The jump from Maracaibo to Miami is pretty quick - two hours and forty minutes. 
I told you I was bringing all of you with me, so I'm taking as many pics as I can!

First of all, here are some pictures I took off the plane. This is the Caribbean Sea.  


This is the view from our condo. I have so many memories of this place... I've been coming here since I was a newborn!


The area is called Aventura - it's very safe and quiet. I love it because you can walk at any time of the day. My mom, my sister and I took a shuttle to Aventura Mall which is a mile away, and we came back walking at 8pm. 

Now onto the haul... 

I got to the mall and went straight to Sephora! I wanted someone to pinch me... these vacations are my only time to shop because everything is too overpriced in Venezuela. Aside from that, you can barely find anything.

I'm a VIB member, which means "Very Important Beauty Insider". You get a few extra perks like discounts, invitations to private events, etc. I got a one on one session with a beauty adviser who was so kind. She gave me tons of advice on skincare and haircare. I talked to her about my blog and about my passion for skincare and makeup, and she gave me tons of samples (you'll see that at the end).



Please excuse my lousy pictures. I took them with my phone. 

The lady strongly suggested the Clarisonic. She said it really makes a difference in ones' skincare regimen. She advised me to go with the cheapest one, because it gets the job done. She used it on me today and it felt quite nice. 


The lady also put this mask on my face, and WOWZA! My skin was glowing afterwards. She left it on for thirty minutes and then peeled it off. It hurts a wee-bit when its being peeled, but it's tolerable. This is a detoxifying mask. 



There are SO many face oils in the market right now. I told her I was confused because there are people raving so much about Josie Maran's Argan Oil, Marula Oil, the one by Nude, one by Fresh. She recommended me the one by Fresh (I love the brand anyway) and she added a few drops of this on my face after removing the mask. My skin was pink and glowing. Loved it, so I got it.



She also applied this Ojon hair mask and told me to leave it on overnight. She even braided my hair :)




I needed a cleanser for my to use with my Clarisonic, so I got the Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel. I had tried this on a kit before and loved how a little went such a long way. It also has glycolic acid = exfoliating = glowing skin.



This product by Kate Somerville is one I had been wanting to try out. It's supposed to be amazing to clear out nasty pimples.




Another product with glycolic acid, the Perricone MD Firming Facial Toner. This brand is the most sold in Sephora.



And more hair stuff. I was hesitant about this one... have any of you tried this? I saw it on an infomercial the first time... and I'm always dubious when it comes to infomercials. A lot of them seem fake to me. But after reading many, many reviews online before coming to the States, and after noticing there was a try-it-out-kit, I decided to get it. According to the Sephora website:

What it does:
Cleanse, condition, nourish, and repair your locks with this collection of WEN favorites for all hair types. The five-in-one Cleansing Conditioner will pamper and invigorate your stressed-out tresses with its luxurious formula of herbal extracts like aloe leaf juice and sweet almond oil. The Re Moist Intensive Hair Treatment is a super-nourishing, weekly mask that promises to give your hair more body and a beautiful, healthy shine. The Replenishing Treatment Mist is a lightweight, hydrating formula specially designed as a quick pick-me-up to increase volume and body between washes. 

This set contains:
- 12 oz Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner 
- 2 oz Sweet Almond Mint Re Moist Intensive Hair Treatment 
- 2 oz Sweet Almond Mint Replenishing Treatment Mist 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Sulfates 
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates 
- Triclosan 


And finally, THE SAMPLES!!!!! She gave me tons! I will be reviewing all of these products individually in a few months to give you proper and genuine opinions.


Enough for tonight. I should take a nice warm shower and go straight to bed. My eyes are achy. 

Have you tried any of these products?

How To Get Glowing Skin Without Makeup

I've always been drawn to glowing skin, and I've come across a wide range of products that claim to brighten, but not all have been successful. 

Now that I have found a regimen that works for me, I want to share it with you. These are products I have been using for over four months, so I can say with confidence that they work. I have noticed major improvement in my skin - it is more even, it is smoother and it is brighter. 

If you're interested, keep reading.

Mini Clinique Haul

Clinique is a brand for some reason I've never been drawn to. I honestly don't know why. Well, maybe I've just been really satisfied with French Pharmacy products and haven't wanted to try anything else other than a few things here and there. So I went for a mini haul today and I wanted to share it with you.



I went to the store to get an eye serum, since my all time favorite Vichy Roll-On is almost empty (second tube). Why is it that when we, women go to a store to get one thing, we end up getting something else we don't need? 

What I got today that I didn't need was an eyebrow pencil. I already have my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder duo and it works just fine, but I guess I wanted to try a stick for my brows. And it had great reviews...

Excuse my dispersion, I am quite sleepy. I was talking about the serum! Yes! I got the All About Eyes Serum. The saleswoman was kind enough to give me many samples to try out (woohoo!). Full list of products in the pictures above:

Products I Purchased
1. All About Eyes Serum: a lot lighter than my Vichy Aqualia Thermal Roll-On. Less tightening too. This product claims to reduce puffiness and dark circles. We'll see...
2. Superfine Liner for Brows (02 Soft Brown)

Samples I Received
1. Repairwear Laser Focus All Smooth Makeup: It doesn't have a shade # but it's too dark for me.
2. Aromatics Elixir: a grandma-smelling perfume I will probably give away to someone older.
3. Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle and UV Damage Corrector: lightweight, absorbs quickly. 
4. Liquid Facial Soap: tried it tonight. It's clear and soapy feeling. I prefer sticking with my Farmhouse Fresh One Fine Day Face Polish for the morning (LOVE!!) and REN No.1 Purity Cleansing Balm for the evening. More natural! 
5. Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer: a thick, white cream that absorbs quickly. 
6. Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream: thick, a little goes a long way. 
7. Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream: doesn't "tighten". It's thick but the skin absorbs it quickly. No greasy feeling. 

I obviously cannot give much input on these products other than texture descriptions, because they're samples and I just got them. 

Have you ever used any of these products? Thoughts? Opinions?

Night night! xoxo

Aqualia Thermal 24Hr Hydrating Fortifying Lotion SPF 25 Review

Hi everyone!

I had been in the hunt for a simple sunscreen that wouldn't leave me with a white cast. Finding no good options anywhere around me, I went for a two in one product. Vichy's Aqualia range is one that I had tried before - I love their eye gel - so I figured I would try their moisturizer with SPF 30.


What is it?
A moisturizer with SPF 25.

Why is a sunscreen necessary? 

For a long time I used to hate the thought of sunscreen. It would remind me of funky scents and a white, greasy face. Not flattering. But wearing sunscreen daily is, in my opinion, the most important beauty advice. Not only are you protecting your skin against harmful UV rays which can lead to skin cancer, but you're also shielding it against premature aging. Yes, sun damage causes early wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation.

Use sunscreen on sunny days AND cloudy days as well. Everyday, all-year round.

Packaging
You get a good 50ml in a small, portable light blue plastic bottle. It comes with a pump which makes this a very hygienic product.





What is the texture like?
Creamy, but easy to blend. It doesn't leave any white streaks behind. The product does have a light fragrance to it - to me it smells like regular sunscreen, but it is not overpowering.








It's good to know that...
- It's oil-free and paraben-free.
- It contains Vichy Thermal Water and hyaluronic acid.
- It's allergy tested, so it's good for people with sensitive skin.
- It's non-comedogenic. 

What type of skin is this recommended for?
For those that are new to the blog, I have combination skin. My T-zone tends to get oily while the rest of my face is normal. I would say this would be good for people with dry, normal and combination skin. 

My thoughts?
I think this is an extraordinary daily moisturizer. It's very moisturizing, yet not greasy. It leaves my skin soft and plump and my favorite part of all: it doesn't leave any white streaks on the face. It's easy to blend across the face and it works great under makeup. It does not make my face shiny nor oily. Love!



What I'm wearing today
Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Lotion
Benefit Girl Meets Pearl 
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
Nars Laguna Bronzer
Bourjois Voluminizer Mascara Ultra Black
Dior Creme de Rose

Philosophy Turbo Booster C Powder Review

The benefits of Vitamin C for the skin and overall health have been around for a long time. A strong antioxidant powerful enough to slow the rate of free radical damage, which are basically molecules that harm and decrease collagen production and cause the skin to become dry. Dryness on the skin causes  fine lines and wrinkles. Which brings me to the next point: many skin care brands nowadays include vitamin c in their products. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to add and control the amount of vitamin C in your favorite serums and/or lotions? Philosophy allows us to do it!




Turbo Booster C Powder by Philosophy is a 99.8% high potency topical Vitamin C which is mixed fresh daily with your SPF, water-based moisturizer or serum of choice. Simple as that.

You're probably wondering what it looks like. 






It's a white powder. It looks yellow on the last picture because the glass bottle has a yellow tint to it. 

I've had this bottle for five months with perhaps 2-3 weekly use and I still have a long way to go.



I have written about this product on Instagram in the past, and the most common question that I got was: What happens when you mix it with something else? Doesn't it look white on the skin?

So... 

How do you use it?
The product comes with a little tool to scoop some product from the bottle. 1/2 scoop is recommended for sensitive skin or beginners, while an entire scoop is advisable for the rest. 


I use an entire scoop because my skin is now accustomed to the product. 
Note: When I first started using it, it stung a little bit, but it was tolerable and it went away usually after a minute or two. I no longer feel any stinging whatsoever.






I usually mix it with my Effaclar Mat moisturizer by La Roche Posay.




As you can see in the picture below, the product dissolves, leaving no residues on the skin. 
Note: It does feel sticky for about a minute or two, then you're left with soft skin. It is fragrance-free.



Benefits of Vitamin C For Skin
As I mentioned earlier, Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant that protects the skin against environmental attacks. Aside from preventing premature aging, it also helps with hyper-pigmentation by brightening and evening out the skin tone.  

I did not believe this at first, but it has been a surprise to my eyes how radiant my skin looks minutes after adding the Vitamin C + Lotion to my face: my skin glows without any makeup. I can tell a difference in the appearance of my skin when I don't mix my moisturizer with Vitamin C. Of course, I love the results with the added powder, but I also love knowing that I'm putting something extremely good on my skin. 

I have been naughty in the past and have skipped SPF when going to the beach or just when wondering around the city. Never again, of course. The point is, I do have uneven skin tone. The sun has clearly damaged my skin. After using this product for several months, I have noticed an improvement in my skin tone. It definitely looks better than it did before.

Another benefit of using Vitamin C on your skin is that it shields it from sunburn caused by exposure to ultraviolet B radiation, thus, preventing consequences caused by long-term sun exposure which is the main cause of skin cancer

My Thoughts
I love Philosophy as a brand, and I am glad they have this available for everyone. I don't have any negative comments to say about this product. I think it's a great because it's preventative. It doesn't leave a residue or film on the skin. Also, it has never broken me out despite the fact I have sensitive acne-prone skin. Regardless of how old you are, you should always protect your skin from the sun. 



I hope you found this post useful. As always, thank you for taking the time to read what I write. 
Have a wonderful day! x

REN No.1 Purity Cleaning Balm Review

Hi everyone!

Those who follow me on Blogger or Instagram are familiar with the fact that I love the REN No.1 Purity Cleansing Balm. For those who are new readers, it is a cleansing balm that I got little over a month ago. Despite the fact I loved it the first time I tried it, and it even made it to my January Favorites, I wanted to test it out for a little while and give you a real, in depth opinion about it. So consider this an update, and I will write another one in a couple of months to tell you how my skin has reacted to it long-term. 

What is it?
A rose-infused rich balm for all skin types that turns into an oil once massaged to a skin, then a milk once you add water. 



You get a massive amount of 150ml that comes in a big plastic jar. As I mentioned earlier, I have been using this for a little over a month - daily - and I still have lots left. 



What is the texture like?
It feels like a balm but it easily transforms into an oil. 

It's good to know that...
- It has NO: petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colors or silicones. 
- It's based off almond oil which is very good for your skin. 
- Other skin-friendly ingredients include: roman chamomile, rose oil, shea butter, castor oil, grapefruit oil, lemon oil, tangerine oil, lime oil, sunflower oil, tangerine oil and vitamin E. 
- It includes a muslin cloth meaning that you get to cleanse and gently exfoliate the skin using just this product. 
- This product has not broken me out. 
- This product dissolves make-up.
- Even though REN states this even dissolves water-proof eye-makeup, I wouldn't let this get into my eyes because it does sting. 
- All the natural essential oils will condition your eyebrows and eyelashes.


How do you use it?
Apply an almond-size to your fingertips and gently massage it to your skin for one or two minutes. 



The consistency will turn oily once you massage it. 


Once you're done massaging, add some warm water to emulsify into a rich milk. Thin grab the muslin cloth the product comes with and run warm water over it.




Use the dampened cloth to remove the product off your skin. 


Who would love this?
- Those who love rose scents.
- Those who have the patience to cleanse their face for a minute or two.
- Those who want to try natural products. 
- Those who love oils. 


Why is it a favorite?
I have combination skin, but dry areas on the skin means that they are dehydrated, and after using tons of acne-prone-skin cleansers for years, I knew that its harsh ingredients were stripping away my skin's natural oils, thus, my skin was becoming thirsty. 

I decided to step away from heavily-fragranced cleansers or cleansers that were full of very harsh ingredients and I wanted to try out more natural products. Cleansing the skin is an extremely important step in achieving a healthy-looking complexion. If I could give you all one of my top beauty secrets, it would be: never go to bed without washing your face and removing all traces of makeup. 

I don't use this product to remove eye-makeup. I'd rather use by Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water just because it's the only product I find removes my eye-makeup without irritating my sensitive eyes. So, I first remove my eye-makeup with the Bioderma Sensibio, and then I cleanse my skin with the REN Cleansing Balm.

I love this product so much because it has made a significant difference to my skin texture and appearance. Immediately after cleansing my skin, it feels plump and smooth, not tight. My skin glows because it's been gently cleansed and nourished. 

Some long-term changes I have noticed are: less breakouts and more even-looking and softer skin. Your skin should look radiant without makeup. This product gives you that. 

And remember: adding additional oils to your skin isn't bad. If you choose the right ones, they can balance out the skin. So don't be scared if you have combination to oily skin!

I use the REN Cleansing Balm once a day (at night).

A New Favorite: Farmhouse Fresh One Fine Day Flawless Face Polish Review

Hello!

I am excited to share with you this amazing product. I was introduced to it by a local cosmetologist and I immediately fell in love.

Farmhouse Fresh is a brand that originated in Texas, USA. They have a wide range of products that are 90-99% natural. They gained a lot of recognition once they were featured in Oprah's magazine, claiming that it is one of her favorite brands. 

On to the product...

What is it?
One Fine Day is a 98.5% natural cleanser/exfoliator that is powerful enough to remove dirt, oil and impurities, gentle enough to remove dead cells with sugar and moisturizing enough to leave your skin dewy afterwards.

You get 6 oz. of product in a fairly large and heavy glass container. 




What is the texture like? 
Gooey. I hadn't used that word in a while...but yes, it's gooey and somewhat sticky. It goes on clear, but once you start rubbing it in, it turns into a white paste that washes off easily with water.




It's good to know that...
- Sugar gently exfoliates.
- The skin is moisturized with amazing goodies such as: castor oil, shea butter, grapefruit oil, lemon oil, lime oil, tangerine oil, vanilla oil, sunflower oil and vitamin E. 
- It's paraben-free, sulfate-free and gluten-free.
- It has no synthetic fragrances.
- It doesn't strip off your skin's natural oils, therefore, you won't get that "tight" feeling after cleansing. 
- It is gentle enough for daily use. 
- The skin GLOWS afterwards, and it feels SO smooth!
- The scent is absolutely amazing. Fruity and vanilla-ish, but not over-powering. 
- A little goes a very long way. 
- This is a great product to use before a mask as it will open up pores.
- This product has not broken me out. 

How do you use it?
- Apply to face and neck using circular motions, then rinse with warm water. Follow with your favorite moisturizer. 

Why is it a favorite?
I love the fact that it contains so many natural ingredients - I don't feel like I'm adding more junk to my face. Instead, I can feel the sugar exfoliating my skin and the oils moisturizing. I had been using an Avene cleanser in the morning (Cleanance Range - for acne) and my skin would feel so tight afterwards. On the other hand, after using One Fine Day, I am left with a radiant complexion that feels ultra-soft.
