Selena Gomez KCA

One of my current celebrities has got to be Selena Gomez. Not only is she dating Justin Bieber but, her fashion sense and beauty just screams to me! On Saturday, Selena worked the Orange carpet on the KCA  She wore Dolce and Gabanna using one of the most popular trends right now which is a busty top and a glimmering skirt. She looked absolutely stunning.

But that is not all! The teen sensation had a blue with gray smokey look to complete her outfit. Her hair was  relaxed and wavy (tutorial soon?).

Selena is definitely a fashion inspiration to me and to many young girls in the world.

Skincare Update for dry skin Avene Milk Cleanser and Toner Review

hello my lovely ladies!!:)

I was at Sephora the other day and was just looking around on the skincare section. I talked to this Sephora employee and told him I was looking for a great moisturizer because my skin was so dry and I could not take it anymore. He asked me what products I used before applying moisturizer and to clean my skin. I mentioned that I used the Neutrogena Gentle Cleanser and he said it was for those reasons my skin was overly dry. He recommended Korres milk cleanser because it was a much creamier consistency and that would moisturize my skin while cleansing it as well.

$22 at Sephora
Review: The product was great. It was very moisturizing and cleansed my skin while doing everything that it promised I was very satisfied by how moisturizing it was.
Would recommend to a friend.
TIP: Find a moisturizing cleanser.

He continued to ask me what exfoliator I used and I told him I did not because my skin was peeling and I started to have redness. Because I was exfoliating my skin I was over stripping my skin and that just made my skin worse. He recommended the AmorePacific Enzyme Peel . The funny thing is that this exfoliate cleanser looks more like a powder and had no harsh beads. Once rinsed with water, the powder becomes creamy and exfoliates the skin while cleansing it. I was astonished by how it worked. This company AmorePacific was new and I had no idea. The Company is a Korean company that specializes in skincare.
AmorePacific


$60 at Sephora
He gave me a sample as well.
Review: It was an excellent product the only downside is that it is really expensive. It is an extremely good product and very rich and moisturizing as well. Great for sensitive skin. It is also on the expensive side however a little goes a long way so I can see this powder lasting for at least a year. 


I would recommend to a friend.


But I did not stop there.
I continued to look for new cleanser that was milky like the Korres Milk Cleanser. I saw Pixiwoo's video on skincare and how they thought the Avene Milk Cleanser was great.  I immediately bought it at www.dermstore.com and they had it for 18 dollars, I was thrilled because it was cheaper than the other one which was $22. Pixiwoo also recommended to use the toner after the cleanser and I bought it as well. Avene Toner
These products have been excellent to my skin I use them every night before I go to sleep and it refreshens my skin and it feels so soft.

Color Tattoo by EyeStudio

Hello everyone,

So one product every beauty guru has been raving about is the Color Tattoo by Eyestudio from Maybelline.

Their pigments are great. They have heavy colors and it is a little bit shimmery. Their color ranges from really bright colors to darker bronzed and silver.

I decided to try it out because everyone has been raving.


My opinion on it: Everyone says it is a dupe to MAC's paintpot but I do not think it is a dupe but it is more like a creamy eyeshadow. It has great colors and pigments but the range of colors are limited. I am guessing that is because it is a new product


The color I bought was Audacious Asphalt and it is a cream grey eyeshadow with shimmer on it. I first bought it with the intencion of using it as a everyday eyeliner but, I see it is kind of sheer when I used it with my brush. So I guess I will just use it as a base for my smokey eyes.






Swatch:
I would suggest this to friends:)

If you have tried it please let me know
