Lancome!

Hello again interwebs! I've got another product review for y'all! Today I'll be reviewing Lancome Paris's Visionnaire and Teint Idole Ultra Foundation!!

So first things first, Lancome Paris's  Visionnaire

This items claims to be an Advanced Skin Corrector, preventing and perfecting wrinkles, pores, and skin-evenness. 

What do I think?

Well so far I've used this three times, once yesterday afternoon at the Lancome's counter at Macy's, than once that night, and again this morning before I put on my make up. 

Lemme tell ya, first off when it claims to minimize pores, it totally does! Its flipping amazing! One second they are there and the next its like " what pores?" I'm, obviously, really pleased with the results. 

 Yet when it comes to the other two claims i'm not sure yet.  I'm only 22 and thankfully don't have any wrinkles coming around yet and when it comes to unevenness in my skin, I don't feel as if I really have any. 

The only big negative I have about this product is the price.

Its 80 dollars! Which for a college student like myself, is pretty freakin pricey. The only reason I got it yesterday was because of my amazing fiancee and his desire to purchase things, lols.

That being said, I would totally save my pennies for this serum. So far it seems totally worth it and hopefully it'll last me a while since it is 1 FL. OZ. and it only takes a pump and a half to cover my face nicely. 

Another thing to let people know, for those who don't really like fragrant products, this one does have a perfume-y smell to it. I personally like it, but I just want to warn those who don't like the pretty smellin' stuff. 

Moving on, to 

Lancome Paris's Teint Idole Ultra Foundation 

  I am typically a NC 40 at MAC cosmetics and in this I am a Bisque 5C ( which reminds me of Bisque soup...Yum!). When it comes to matching my skin color, I feel like Lancome has done a much better job, than MAC. With the NC 40 ( I used Studio Fix or whatever) I felt like it was much darker than I actually am and with Lancome's Bisque 5C I feel like it matches perfectly.

This typically never happens, the whole matching me perfectly thing, so I just had to rant a bit about that, but moving on to the important parts, on the box it claims that this is

Enduringly ( Which I guess is not a word, that's what word is saying, anyway) divine and comfortable makeup, 14-hour retouch-free, oil-free, fragrance-free, and it has SPF 15 sunscreen. It claims this is for All Skin Types.

My personal opinion on the things it claims?

Comfortable? Extremely, like I don't really feel like i'm wearing that much make-up, which is a big plus ( Also my fiancee thinks i'm not wearing any, which is a bigger plus, cause that means it looks natural! Which is the look i'm going for)

14-hour retouch free? I dunno about this one, I put it on around 11 am today and so far so good, but its only been about 5 hours and I haven't had to touch it up, but we'll see at the end of the day. I figure it'll probably only last about 8 hours.

Oil-Free and Frangrance-free?   I Guess, I don't smell anything when putting it on, lols.

SPF 15? I didn't get a white kind of sheen when I put it on, so if there is SPF ( which i'm sure it does) it doesn't make your paler than you need to be, or give you that white cast. Another plus!

And when it comes to a nice foundation, this one is priced at 44 dollars. At least at the Macy's I went to, and compared to the serum, I feel that this is better priced. Especially when you only need about one pump to cover your face and a mini pump to cover up any extra imperfections. Totally worth it! It comes with a pump and is in a 1 FL OZ bottle as well.

So what do you think?

Palty Experience!

So I’ve decided to review a product that I’ve just finished trying out just a few hours ago.....

Palty Hair Dye!....

For a while now i’ve been wanting to dye my hair to a fun, lighter color. My hair was previously dark brown with leftover hair dye from john frieda’s foaming hair dye, which was a chocolate color. It didn’t really work that well :-/ 

I then found out about Palty Hair Dye from one of my favorite guru’s on youtube, PBunnieP (You should check her out!). PBunnieP is always very descriptive and  thorough with her reviews and it was no different when she went over her experience with Palty’s foam hair dye. From their I googled more about it and decided to give it a try.

So my hair went from....

To this....

                                        ( Sorry about the weird angle...Look there's Izzie!!)

So I  decided to go with the color Macaroon Beige. I knew that it wasn’t going to make my hair the same color as the girl on the box but I had hoped it would lighten it a lot, which I feel that it did. I googled all of the instructions online, since it is a japanese product with, obviously, japanese instructions.  Also, while the instructions said to just leave it in for 20-30 min’s max, I saw from the youtube video’s I watched that leaving it in for at least 40 min’s gave the best results. That being said, do this at your own risk, as did I. 

So what do you think? Hit or miss?

My First Post Ever!

So I've wanted to start this blog for AGES! I've been tossing and turning with ideas  in the back of my mind, trying to figure out what I would like to share with the Great Big Internets.  And I think i'll just blog about whatever i'm into, Life and whatever comes to mind, which is pretty much the definition of a blog....right?  I'm such a weirdo.

So what am I currently into....

Clinique's Pore Minimizer Lotion

I have been trying for a while now to make my skin "look" flawless ( Who isn't?) and have been increasing the  

daily amounts of make-up and such into my morning routine. This stuff, while not make-up, really, REALLY helps. My pores are humongous, probably because of my oily skin (don't quote me), and this stuff really shrinks those suckers! That being said, I really notice the effects after putting on my foundation, which is currently MAC's Studio Fix Liquid foundation, which is okay. My skin looks so much better with it.

The sad thing is that I bought this stuff like....4 years ago...and hadn't really used it until now. I'm glad I didn't throw it away ^_^

So the second thing that I am currently loving is ...

My e.l.f palette!

So I'm not going to lie and try to fool you guys into thinking that I am some makeup pro, using this as an outlet to showcase her skills. I am a total noob when it comes to makeup. Until about 5 months ago, I didn't give a crap about my appearance.The only thing ,appearance wise, that I was constantly worried about was my acne problem -_-*

Yet after running into some makeup guru's on youtube and seeing how easy and fun it could be, and how I could mask my horrifying complexion, I became intrigued and than hooked. (Thank you xteeener , the first guru I  ever subscribed to !)

So back this e.l.f palette! This is something that I picked up from target about 3 months ago for 4.99. I feel like this is less intimidating that some of the more pricier palette's i've seen on youtube and it has all the basic plus some fun glittery  colors for a noob like me, and i've loved it. 

The colors are very opaque and have decent shimmer ^_^

So after sharing what i'm currently into, I'll share what  I would like to try or purchase...

Currently it is a....

The Nikon L120.....Isn't it pretty? 

So a current curiosity of mine is digital photography. I've always liked taking pictures, yet as of late, after exploring other's peoples amazing blogs, I've been really curious how I, an amateur, could create my own pretty pictures. And after doing some research, I believe that a decent camera is the first step. I currently own a Canon PowerShot A610...which is only 5.0 mega pixels...:( If you didn't know, the latest digital camera's are up to 16 mega pixels, 16!! I had no idea until...like 6 months ago. -__- So I'd like to do an upgrade, and this is only priced at $279 on Amazon and has gotten some decent reviews. Plus its a pretty red! So hopefully soon, I will have on in my possession...^_^

So I think that this will conclude my first bloggy post ever!

How do you think I did?
