New NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil Shades!

As a long time NYX lover (and being particularly fond of their Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencils) I was thrilled when I head about the release of 8 BRAND NEW SHADES! I started collecting NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencils when I first became REALLY interested in makeup (about 3 years ago) so I was very happy to see some new colors on the market as I have came to own almost all that they offer. I purchased the 8 new shades from ulta.com as they were having a Buy 1, Get 1 sale on all NYX products (I also had a 20% off coupon!) You can also find them on nyxcosmetics.com and cherryculture.com.

Side Note: There will be a corresponding video to this blog post in the next fews days on my Youtube channel.

Review: Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask in Strawberry Souffle!

I was very fortunate to receive the Influenster Holiday VoxBox and try out some great products! One of those was the Montagne Juenesse Strawberry Souffle face mask! I had seen these face masks before in drugstores, but never had the courage to actually purchase one! I'm so very glad to have received a sample of this through Influenster because I can now say that I have found my favorite face mask! 

For more information on the Influenster community, you can visit their website at http://www.influenster.com. 

I've never been a huge fan of face masks for a variety of reasons: the scent, texture, application, and aftermath of washing it off all left me with a weary feeling in regards to face masks.

- Scent: Most masks have a strange odor and the last thing I want to do is put it on my nice, clean face. The scent of this mask is absolutely amazing! It smells exactly like Strawberry ice cream! It has a pleasant "yummy" smell, but isn't sickly sweet! 

Application: This mask has a whipped consistency so it glides on like a dream! It was super creamy and felt very moisturizing to my extremely dry skin. This mask did harden slightly, but not to the extremity of most face masks, so it was very comfortable to wear. 

Packaging: The only downside to this face mask would have to be the packaging. It is a little messy and the packaging did make it hard to get 100% of the product out. I would love to see this face masks in larger jars. I would definitely buy that!

Results: This mask was extremely easy to wash off, so I didn't have to struggle and scrub at my skin to get it off as I do with most face masks. This mask left my skin feeling hydrated and looking bright! My skin wasn't irritated or blotchy at all (and I have very sensitive skin!)

Overall Opinion: With an awesome, uplifting scent that is good enough to eat, an easy application, and amazing results, I can't see what's not to love about this face mask! I can honestly give a big 5 star rating and will definitely be purchasing more in the future! : )

Review & Swatches: ELF Mineral Eye Shadows

elf mineral eye shadows!

As everyone probably knows, I’m a huge (and I mean HUGE!) ELF fan! In particular, the ELF Mineral Eye Shadows have to be nearing the top of my list, even maybe the very top! Over the last year or so I have managed to collect 17 of these babies! I’ve done a few blog posts before with swatches of the ELF mineral eye shadows, but wanted to do one big one with all the ELF mineral eye shadows I own, so they would all be easy to find in one place!
