Review – iSOi Bulgarian Rose Blemish Serum

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epA_GW09vV8

Hello again guys,

Well that was quick! I’m back again— for another review! I’ll hopefully post a make up tutorial soon!P1160701

Today I’ll be reviewing iSOi’s (I’m SO intelligent) Bulgarian Rose Blemish Serum!

 

According to the website :

basic

 

It seems like quite a luxury product at first glance, it has a study clearish pink glass container with a pump no less! And at a retail price of $50 on ebay and other Korean website sellers it seems like quite a higher end serum. But according to it’s website it’s iSOi’s best selling product with over half a million sold! I think that’s quite impressive especially since it’s a bit more costly.

Now how I feel about it, it has a nice pleasant smell (think roses and a bouquet of flowers but softer and more subtle) it has a great cooling sensation on the skin. And I think it actually may work! I’ve been applying it almost every other day for about a month, and especially on my problem areas (such as any pimples or red areas or places with pores). And I’ve been noticing my pimples disappearing more quickly and a more even skin tone (super yay!).

Sequence 03.Still003

 

I just pump a little bit and spread it evenly on my face, and then a cream afterwards! And that’s basically my night skin routine. Plain and simple.

 

Now how I feel about it. I actually fairly like this product, but like it enough to spend $50 on it? Ehh, maybe.

I’ll give this product a solid 8/10.

This product was given to me to review as a BNTgirl but has a 100% my thoughts in it ❤

Review: 3 Concept Eyes – I’m good mascara

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZtqOsYzBqU

Hello Lovelies, makeuplol So as promised here is my review for the 3CE I’m good mascara. Prepare yourselves for gifs, much gifs. I had so much fun editing the video that I took some highlighted parts and made gifs, so prepare yourselves for the future.     My overall impressions of the mascara itself is LOVE LOVE LOVE. It doesn’t have a weird perfumed scent (yay!) and it does what it’s advertised to do-kind of. It’s suppose to be a “doll” like mascara but I don’t find myself looking extra dolly-ish after it. HOWEVER I do find I love it’s non smudgy-ness, oil control and waterproof-ness. It’s absolutely wonderful, I’m a pretty active girl because I’ve been trying to lose weight or I’m constantly on the go and I don’t like worrying about my mascara smudging onto the bottom of my eyes making me a panda (like my favorite Benefit I’m real! mascara). I’ve tested it out on various occasions. So here we go let’s start out with my after a 10 mile bike ride: photo (3) No smudging at all even after a light workout! That’s impressive, I usually avoid make up when I’m doing any exercise because I hate it when my eyeliner or mascara would smudge, but with this mascara I don’t even have to worry about it and continue on with my day. Even more impressive is the next photo where I went to LA Fitness and basically went in the hot tub AND sauna for 30 minutes. photo (2) No smudging. At. All. So basically if you’re a active girl or a girl on the go I would definitely recommend this to you. Sorry about my stray eyebrow hairs, trying to grow out my eye brows to reshape them. :> But yea these next photos are basically just a whole day (13 hours) progression of my lashes and how the mascara kept them curled all day long. Sequence 01.Still003 Sequence 01.Still004   So to break it down. Pros:

  • lasts a long time (forever)
  • can exercise with it
  • can withstand water
  • basically a magic mascara for the summer
  • doesn’t smell weird

Cons:

  • doesn’t really volumize my lashes
  • doesn’t make them dolly?

Overall verdict I give this mascara a 9.5/10.   You can buy this mascara on stylenanda for $22. Thanks for reading! This review was part of my BNTgirls review line. Other BNT Girls: Joanne, Kine, Carina, Bella.   bntgirls badge

BNTgirls x Leaders “AQUA DRESSING” mask Review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSwi0YCA6Rw

Hello my beautiful readers!

*edit* OMG it’s my 100th post! ೕ(Ò⺫ Ó )೨

I’m starting a new section of my blog called Ice Cream Time reviews, all videos that show that will basically mean I got the reviewed items free from BNTnews international but like all my other blogs they will be 100% my POV (point of view).

bntgirls

Okay, so let’s start.

I’m going to review Leader’s AQUA DRESSING MASK.

It’s supposed to help with;

  • dry skin
  • deadskin cells
  • rough skin
  • sensitive skin

So yeah that’s just what I looked like with the mask on. Huehuehuehuehue…

So I’m just going to go ahead and say it smells weird, like really weird, not a truly bad or good weird…just weird my nose just adjusted to it’s weird scent after a while so I didn’t notice the smell as much later on. But….It was truly weird. Other than that the mask was fantastic it gave me a nice glowly-dewy skin afterwards….TADA (pics below)

And the day after I ate at a restaurant named “Corks Restaurant” at Niagara-On-The-Lake. Basically wine country and my face looked radiant all day and I only had bb cream on my face, no concealer or foundation! (✿◠‿◠)

P1160475

 

So overall I think the weird scented mask was well worth the 20-25 minutes it was on my face because it made my skin look soooooooooooo dewyyyyyyy I should’ve taken more selfies that day. But I can’t wait to review all the masks that were given to me! I’m sure it helped with my dry skin, but since I don’t have rough skin and I’ve been using My Beauty Diary Egg White Gommage Face Mask (review soon) I don’t have much dead skin cells. So overall I’d rate this a 8/10 only because of the weird scent. But I loved the gummy texture of the face mask itself and the fact that it made my skin look oh so wonderful.

 

Solid 8/10 for this mask for me.

Holika Holika Face Mask Review; Green Tea, Rosy Peach, Lavender, and Lemon Tea!

My tl;dr is Lemon Tea is the best face ever and you should get it but feel free to read along to see how I felt about the other masks.

This post took me foreverrrrr to post because I don’t often use face masks/I don’t have the time to as I prefer to netflix it away when I’m at home trying to relax anyways. 

Image

 

Bam! As you can see I don’t know really whats up after my lemon tea mask but it made my skin GLOW! I felt fantastic -baby. 😉

Counting down from which I found best.

 

Last place – Green Tea-

Overall a bit of disappointment, compared to the others I didn’t see a visual difference but maybe it’s not what outside that counts….Or not? Who knows I didn’t find that this mask really did any except hydrate my skin really, but skin is only skin deep ( hah. hah. ) But according to the website (I’ll put a picture at the bottom so you don’t have to check it online) it’s only suppose to be moisturizing. So if you into that you can get it. But I wouldn’t pay $2 for it, as I have a lot of face lotions.

Image

 Number 3 is Rosy Peach Tea-

What it’s suppose to do is Skin Clarifying… Not really sure what that means, maybe overall toning of the face, evening out skin tones? But it was nice and I liked the smell….peachy 🙂 It was fantastic nor was it a total bummer so it has a solid #3 slot.

Image

Number 2 is the Lavender – 

Supposedly suppose to “Skin Soothing” which I would translate as helping reduce redness overall in the face, but I can’t tell if my cheeks are a naturally a bit red and this helped a bit, but I think it made my skin look glowy so I gave it second place. 

Image

 

 

Number 1 – LEMON TEA! –

Not only is lemon tea my favorite because of the awesome dewy/glowy skin it gave me, but because I loved the scent. But I just love the scent of lemons overall. It’s suppose to give you “Transparent Skin” and I guess it does! Well worth the $2 I paid for it because….I felt like a dewy goddess or something after it. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. And I’d recommend it 10/10.

Missha Air Fit Magic Cushion Special Edition Review

http://youtu.be/uJJpkgdkBYg Just my take on the Missha Air Fit Magic Cushion. I recently bought it, and I’ve been literally waiting for the day it comes back in stock because I’ve been really wanting a cushion for my bb cream without purchasing a new cushion bb cream because I have about 3 that I need to use up. So this was me being clever but not really clever, ha ha. I bought it on misshaus.com for $17.00 it came to be about $25.00 after shipping. 07172014_Landing For more updates on me or anything, Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/doirss

Good morning lovelies!

Lately I’ve been inspired by SNSD’s MV MR MR. I’ve been loving their dewy skin look and on point lips. They make people look at their lips, and they look is so fresh that I have to do it!

So here’s my finished look, if you want to see how I did it continue reading!

Image

Start off with bare skin, MOISTURIZEEE ITTT. Because it’s really dry and winter-y still but I like to pretend it’s spring.

Image

Next I used;

Lancome La Base (primer)

Lancome Teint Miracle in Buff 2

Benefit’s Boi-ing (01)

(***lol it was really sunny)

Image

After my base I did slight contour and blush anddd my brows!

Spring Lips Ft. NYX soft Matte Lip creams and Revlon Matte Balms

In this post I’ll just be showing you my favorite spring lip colors of the season so far!

Let’s start with my favorite from NYX.

Soft matte lip cream in Antwerp. It’s a beautiful pinkish orange color and it makes me feel fresh as spring even if it’s still cold outside. I feel like my lips feel ready to embrace the cold and bring forth warmth!

Image

Next I have a a nude color on my lips from NYX called Stockholm, it’s pretty cute the line consists of city names. But this is my second favorite nude lip color besides OCC lip tar in memento!

Image

Next up are the Revlon Matte Balms, my absolute favorite for this spring is Audacious! It’s the perfect fresh orange – red color that’s more orange. It’s wonderful.

Image

andddd striking because danggggggg it’s striking.

Gradient Lip Tutorial Ft. OCC Lip Tar Memento

So after my previous post I got a few requests on how to do my lip, so here it is! 🙂

How I do a gradient lip like this:

Image

First start off with nice bare lips with a chapstick of your choice, I’m currently using EOS lip balm in tangerine. (Got my no make up make up on today)

Image

Next hide those lips with your favorite concealer- I’m using Benefit Boi-ing (01)

Image

Next I’ll show you how I personally make a gradient lip. By dotting the OCC lip tar and then using the lip brush to feather out out the color I create a more natural gradient.

Image

Image

And finally just apply a clear lip gloss, for that nice shiny lip effect!
