#BeneFaves Voxbox #Influenster

Ola Beauties!

I recently received a complimentary voxbox from Influenster with some Benefit Cosmetic goodies!

I was so excited to receive this box, I have been in voxbox campaigns before, but this one I was super pumped. Benefit is a brand that is a hit or miss for me. However, there are products I do enjoy from them.

So in this box I received:
1 Full size They're Real Mascara
1 Full size Ka Brow
1 Sample size of the POREfessional
1 Sample size of the Hoola Bronzer

So, I have already gone through a couple of larger sizes of the POREfessional, and I always told you all on my Channel, I enjoy that primer as a pore filler. Very silicon feel, only need to use small amounts in areas you only need to reduce look of pores.

The Hoola Bronzer, I know everyone goes nuts over, everyone but me. Not my fave bronzer ONLY because its not dark enough for my darker skin. I have olive tan complexion, in the summer I get super dark, in the winter when I self tan, it looks like I went away. This bronzer does bupkis for my skin. So this one was a dud for me.

The KA Brow is FANSTASTIC! I have my days where I like a bold brow, this is just so easy to use, and travel with. AND the brush applicator the product comes with, makes it so easy and quick to get your brows on to look remotely normal. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! P.s. this stuff stays on until you remove it at night, and you need a oil based remover to get it off. I have to say a very solid product. This formula is a bit on the stiffer side but I like that only because it makes better control where you put the product.

The They're Real mascara is not bad. I am not a super fan of the rubberized wand, but it coats my lashes and lifts them enough to prep them for falsies. I would say this mascara is not a good one for volume. It is more for length. Not a terrible product, just not my fave mascara. For the price of it I would rather go to the drug store and one there for cheaper and for one I know I love.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Long Lasting Foundation Review

Hello to my fellow beauties. Today's product review is a foundation that was sent to me complimentary from Influenster for review purposes.

The Shiseido synchro skin long lasting foundation is a new formula inspired from Japanese beauty culture, made in Japan. This product claims the following:

• Long lasting finish
• Full coverage
• Eliminates dullness with vibrant foundation
• Provides all day wear
• Price is $58 Canadian / 1 Fl Oz

 After testing and using this product out on myself here are my thoughts:

• Formula is a very watery based consistency, lasting power on my skin (oily combo) was not long
• Coverage is light to medium, can be build able BUT it will begin to look cakey
• This foundation made my skin look more dull then vibrant. 
• Clings to dry patches I didn't know I had, which is odd for a water base formula.
• Broke me out instantly with in hours of wear
• Did not cover my redness, had to use a heavy duty concealer to hide redness (Note a good foundation will not need you to use a heavy concealer)

For the price of this foundation my final thoughts are, if your going to spend $60 on a foundation which is pricey it needs to work for you.
This foundation I see would work for those people who have perfect skin with no issues (IE: Redness, acne etc) That is not me unfortunately LOL
Not my favorite formula, your best bet is to ask for a sample first to try it before making the huge money plunge.

Kat Von D Saint & Sinner

Hello yall

Influenster sent me another voxbox complimentary with Kat Von D Beauty's re released fragrance Saint and Sinner.

Two small vials of perfume are the cutest little bottles.

After using them both here are my thoughts:

1. Saint
- Love this perfume for day time use, its light, airy, sweet with a touch floral notes. Love for day time and lasts all day on the skin.

2. Sinner
- I also love this perfume, but I enjoy it more for evening wear on special occasions. This is a more spicy sweet scent, and its very strong, a little goes a long way, but it last long on the skin which I appreciate.

Would I consider to purchase in full size?
- The answer is yes I would, BUT I would wait until the VIB sales at sephora to get the discount because these perfumes are hella espensive (Kathleen Lights accent)

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouch liquid lips

Hi Yall,

So Influenster sent me a Bite Beauty voxbox with their new liquid lipsticks complimentary for review.

They sent three gorgeous shades, a wearable pink, a grungy brown, and a gorgeous red.

After testing these babies out my thoughts on them are plain simple. They are a comfortable creamy formula, not long wearing, very pigmented, and they smell good.

Now if you don't know Bite Beauty is known to make their lip products with all grade A ingredients that's safe to eat.

 If you are one who does not mind about reapplying the product after you eat and drink then I say these are great!

If you are one who prefers a matte formula that lasts all day, well...then I say maybe steer away from these ones.

All in all they are a nice product, but what it boils down to is if you prefer a matte formula or creamy formula. You make that choice.

Foreo vs Clarisonic ~ My Thoughts

Beauty/Makeup Goals of 2017

Ola Beauties!

It has been a couple months since I have checked in. A lot of the times when I post on here, I tell you what products I recommend to you all.

This post is a bit different. Last year I did a Makeup/Beauty Inventory of my collection to put my mind in perspective that I do not need to buy any more beauty products for a while. If you have not seen that video I will link it here below my Finale of 2016.

https://youtu.be/ljSA_WPgMys

So I am starting where I left off in that video above. Now these numbers I am sharing are definitely improvements to where I originally started from, but they still need work and any item with an * beside it means those are the categories I will focus more on to bring down my numbers.

I mean when I look at the list compared to other people collections that are way more massive then mine, it's not so bad. But still for me this still needs some work. Wish me luck. I will provide another update come June on my progress.

1. Foundation 14
2. BB/CC Cream 4
3. Concealer 13
4. Single Face Powder 7
5. Single Bronzer 12

New Year , New Me and all Beauty!

Hello again to my wonderful readers!

I know its been forever and a day since I made an appearance on this blog. What can I tell you? 2016 was a hell of a busy year for me. I managed to keep up with my YouTube channel however my blog was a tad neglected. I am sorry.

However, its a new year, a new me, and all I want to do is start talking again about beauty!

I hope all of you have a splendid 2016. I honestly learned a lot in beauty in 2016. I did a ton of decluttering makeup and using up products that needed to get used before they expired. I even reduced my beauty shopping quite a bit. I did not cut the shopping out completely however I did reduce it which was a celebration all on its own.

So now we are in 2017. What is next you ask? Well, like my YouTube channel, I plan to improve my posts for this year.

Today's entry, I want to talk about a couple of products that are worth the splurge. Yes they are higher end products but, so worth the money.

If you want to see a larger amount of products I talk about check out my YouTube Channel @ AntoniettaNacc13
