My Impression: I love the colors from the Stunning & Irresistible Collections. They are so gorgeous. From the creams in Stunning to the Shimmers in Irresistible both have some amazing must have colors to put have in your collection. The yellows Kerry and Darcy are both extremely pigmented and not at all streaky which is what you would typically find in a yellow so if you are looking for a cream stark opaque yellow go with Darcy.. if you want more of a Shimmer to your yellow/gold go with Kerry. My other favorites are Bobbi, Amy, Yana, and Thandie. Those would be the colors I would ordinarily gravitate towards. They all are highly pigmented and I found I could pull of one coat with some of the colors while others required two and I was glad that I did not need a third coat for any of the colors. I got many compliments on the collections as I took a couple weeks testing out all of the colors switching my toe-nails to my nails so that I could feel out which were my favorites. I would have swatched them on my actual nails if I had not had an accident with a potato peeler and cut half of my nail off - only me! I really do love these colors though a beautiful transition into Summer!

My Impression: I love the color line up for the PixieDust Summer Collection. All so vibrant and opaque. The texture is very unique in that it is that sandy texture. One thing I've found is that if you want a polish that will stay it is the PixieDust lines because they do not budge once they are dry. They are also unfortunately very hard to remove so keep that in mind also, but if you have a little time and patience to remove the polishes they are gorgeous and I like to paint my toe nails with these colors so that I don't have to do them often. I'm quite rough with walking around and scuffing up my feet so I know that putting them through the text of the PixieDust polish and them coming through unscathed that the formula was outstanding. I love the intensity of the polishes and how when you are in the sun or in certain lights the polish is twinkling like sparkles of sand on the beach.

Jane Iredale Eyeshadow & Blush Review

Jane Iredale Eyeshadow & Blush Review






 EyeShadow in Color 'Brown Sugar' PUREPRESSED EYE SHADOWS
 Our highly pigmented shadows are simple to blend, sensitivity-tested and they stay put for gorgeous, crease-free, long-lasting eye color. 

 THE LOOK elegant to edgy THE FEEL silky smooth 

 Vegan/Gluten Cruelty-Free









PUREPRESSED BLUSH in the color 'Copper Wind'
Create beautiful, flushed cheeks with our mineral blush. Colors so subtle and natural you'll look like you're glowing from the inside out!

THE LOOK luminous THE FEEL airy



My Impression: I have tried many sorts of make-up brands and this has to be one of my favorites when it comes to eye-shadows. I received the pressed eyeshadow trio in the color 'Brown Sugar' and I was impressed by how they would just melt into the skin with that velvet feel. It was easily blended - the colors were opaque - it was just what I wanted in a shadow. The blush I was slightly disappointed in because it says 'Copper Wind' and true it does give off that copper vibe, but it came off on my skin tone more of a flushed look and I was asked by my Father through-out the day if I was having a hot flash as I frequently do, but still I wasn't and it was not really great to have him think so. I've applied with a light and heavy hand and it still shows off more of a flushy color than the peachy/copper id hoped for. Still, the eyeshadows did not let me down and the blush would go great I think with another skin tone as I am very fair complected. The line really impressed be otherwise.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Night Cream Review

Aveeno Positively Radiant Night Cream
About Aveeno Positively Radiant

 Contains a proven concentration of ACTIVE NATURALS Total Soy Complex boosted with vitamin B3 to help visibly diminish the appearance of dullness, blotchiness and brown spots • Oil-free, hydrating formula penetrates deep within skin’s surface while you sleep revealing an even, more radiant complexion • In a clinical study, women saw improvement in tone and discoloration. Gentle enough for everyday use.

Facts About Aveeno Positively Radiant

The AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream, formulated with ACTIVE NATURALS® Total Soy Complex and vitamin B3, helps to reduce the appearance of discoloration, uneven tone and blotchiness, revealing healthier-looking skin.

Where can you find Aveeno Positively Radiant?

SPOTTED : $14.99-$16.99 for 1.7 oz. jar at National food, drug and mass merchandisers, drugstore.com.




My Impression: I was thrilled to receive the Aveeno Positively Radiant Cream to try and as soon as I got it I began trying it out. Id wash my face and apply it at night. This did not work for my skin as it is sensitive, but it did however work for my Mother. For me when I applied it my skin burned, my face broke-out and I would stop it for a little while then Id start back and it was indeed the Aveeno that broke me out. Also, if you are sensitive to scents - this is really a highly floral scented cream. On the flip-side my Mother absolutely loves it and her opinion is that it really feels like it's sinking into her skin - she experienced no burning or anything, but her skin I've noticed looks a lot brighter and I see less of hyperpigmentation. I asked her what she was doing and she said she had been using the Aveeno cream I gave her - so I've seen that it does work it just was not for me and more for her. I just have highly sensitive skin which is a bummer, but I do love Aveeno's products and hopefully they will come out with more facial products to try with maybe less floral or no scent - because I truly believe that anything I've ever tried that is highly scented has broken me out. Otherwise, I can't knock the product because of my Mother's success.
