"Gillette Venus Snap with Embrace" Influenster Venus® Snap with Embrace Review

Hello there! I am doing a review on the Gillette Venus Snap with Embrace today and I must say I am pretty happy! So first of all I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

So this is how it looks like:

As you can tell this is very travel friendly because it's so small!

What this product claims to do:
- Instant smoothness on the go
- Portable compact fits conveniently in your purse, travel of gym bag.
- Mini handle is easy to grip and convenient to store.
- Venus Embrace's 5 curve-Hugging blades to shave you close and water activated ribbon of moisture for smooth glide.

I tried this out on my arm because I doubt you guys wanna see my legs haha.

This was before I shaved my arms:
And then this was after I shaved my arms:
After shaving my arms it felt so smooth....like a baby's butt. At first I thought it was pretty messy but right after I put the razor back into the compact it completely dried up. It lasted about two weeks and I started to see little hairs again.

Overall all I would have to give it a 4 out of 4! Ding ding ding! It is pretty expensive so I suggest you to look for coupons because the razor itself is the ones where you can replace the razor.

St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub

Happy Saturday! Hope you guys are all having a fabulous day :) So first, I can not stop raving this product to my family, friends, and even strangers! This is by far my best cleanser I had ever tried. Literally.

What this product claims to do: 
 This scrub with skin-soothing green tea gently fights blemishes and reduces redness & irritation caused by acne. The result is clear and calm skin.
  • Hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic
  • Dermatologist tested
  • Formulated without parabens and phthalates, oil-free
  • Not tested on animals
  • Does not contain animal ingredients

I have pretty bad acne but when I started using this scrub, the redness and bumps went away within 3 days. Note that I used this about a year ago and I stop because there was just no more product. I wanted to try new things but I always come back to this one. Now that I am using this again, I noticed my redness reduce by a lot and the bumps are not as "sticking out" (to all the people who knows what I am talking about!). It does prevent future acne and that's another reason why I love it! The texture of the scrub doesn't feel as hash as many products I tried. It has really small micro beads (maybe even smaller) and it does it's job very well. The smell doesn't really bother me, but if you're a person who doesn't like strong fragrances then you might not like this. I remember using it for the first time and the first thing I noticed was the smell.
Overall, I recommend people using this maybe 2-3 times a week. If you have dry skin then I recommend you to use less. If you have more oily skin then I recommended using it 3 times a week.

NYC Show Time Glitter Eyeliner Pencil in 944 show time black

Happy Monday!! Today I am reviewing the NYC Show Time Glitter Eyeliner.
Dare to add some glitter?


What this product claims to do: 
- Long wearing
- Metallic sparkling effect
- Smooth and creamy formula
- Does not smudge
- Non-draggy
- Provides a precise line 
- Suitable for contact lens wearers 
What this product did for me:  I was so excited for this eyeliner because when I first saw the glitter on the eyeliner I was so happy! I always wanted a glitter eyeliner. I think it just glams up your makeup.

Unfortunately, I have very oily eyelids and this eyeliner did not stay on. Even with primer it crease. The metallic sparkling effect was beautiful! The glitter didn't bother or irritate my eyes but like I said it didn't stay on long. Contact lens safe :) ! The formula is very creamy and it was so easy to put on. The pigmentation was really dark with little glitter's on them. The pigmentation is so dark that right when you put it on your skin, you automatically see a very dark line. Yes it's that pigmented!
If you have very oily eyelids I definitely won't recommend this eyeliner. If they have a waterproof formula then I recommend that. For people who have dry to combination skin, this product is great for you!

Olay Fresh Effects VA-VA-Vivid Powered contour Cleansing System

FRESH AND FEARLESS!


I would only do the review on the VA-VAVIVID cleaning system in this review. Unless you guys want to use how is the nail polish too :)

What this product claims to do: Ingeniously Designed to fit your facial contours, our power brush deep cleans in and around the T-zone, hair line and nose for full-face cleansing. Librate your skin from dirt, oil, and make-up for unstoppable freshness that you can see and feel. Super-Soft Supple Bristles gently massage your skin, revealing a healthy-looking glow. Treat yourself to a micro-facial experience that really packs some cleansing punch. Fresh has never felt, or looked, so good.

What this product did for me: I tried this product for a month now and I honestly think this is a great product! Well more like I tried it for 3 weeks and I stop using it for 2 weeks to see if it had changed my skin. It cleaned my face really well and it felt super soft after I rinse it off with water. I did notice that I stop breaking out like crazy recently, but right when I stop using it, I started to have these little white heads again. The little product that they provided was called, "shine, shine go away!" and it claim to minimized shine. My oily face was still oily, so therefore, it didn't help that much in controlling my oil. But it did clean my face very well. 
- This product is great for traveling because it's small/convenient and it runs on batteries. 
(Bring extra batteries if it does run out!)

Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in "Never Fade Jade"

Hello there!!!! This is the Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in "Never Fade Jade"
What can say about this? This is very similar to their color tattoo that has the creamy texture. I really like the creamy texture so I thought why not give this one a try. This is a mineral makeup therefore, I was for sure that it wouldn't be as good for my oily eyelids.
Since I love the creamy texture more I put the pure pigments to the test. One day without primer and one day with primer. The day without primer lasted me about 3-4 hours. The one with primer lasted me about 10+ hours. I know, amazing right? The only downside is the packaging.






It is a bit messy to handle and I think that really got me annoyed. The application was really nice, it wasn't as easy as the creamy texture one but that's my opinion. It's not like you can swipe it right on, but you have to blend it.

The pigmentation was BEAUTIFUL! You can always make it brighter and bolder by putting more, or you can put it on with just a hint of color to you eyes. There is shimmer in this eyeshadow but when I put it on, it doesn't seem to show. It looks more matte in my opinion. There are many other colors!!











 I recommend this to people who love matte eyeshadows and to people who love crease free matte finish!

Dinner in

Let's have dinner at home!
Made a pretty quick dinner with my boyfriend because we were sooo hungry!
We made some clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl (oh yeah) and some bombdiggy tortillas!

First, we made the clam chowder in a sour dough bowl <3
What you would need: - round sour dough bread
(if you can't find any round sour dough bowl then using the sliced one's are fine. Dip and enjoy =D )
                                     - clam chowder
                                     - A fork to get all the bread out of the bowl
First, we cut the top of the round sour dough bowl in circle and used a fork to get all the bread so we can fill it in with clam chowder.
Then we made clam chowder. And we are done. How easy was that?! (Tip: Making clam chowder from scratch is way better than can one's!)






TIME FOR THE TORTILLAS!!
What you would need: -tortillas
                                     - cooked shrimps
                                     - cheese


First, we got a tortilla and we put it on the pan. Then got some cheese and shrimps. Spread evenly.
Cook for about 2 min per side. Put another tortilla and you are done :)





Finished the night with some Green Tea ice-cream!
