Hello all!!
I am back with another cool blog post + this one is a unboxing/mini review thanks to Influenster and YSL!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!

So again, it’s taken me much longer than I wished to find time to blog + I’m sorry about that but life happens + that comes first! Priorities!! Lol. Anyhoo…I had the pleasure of receiving the reformulated YSL Faux Cils Mascara (Which can be found here!!) + I must say, it is bomb!!

If you follow me on Instagram or see my feed here on my blog, you may have seen my “before + after” shot wearing the mascara. It’s amazeballs!!!! Check it out below!!

The Mascara is $32 but I feel it’s completely worth it. Why? Well, it has luxurious packaging, it smells beautiful, the formula is smooth and doesn’t clump after 2-3 coats and makes your lashes look full and luscious… like wearing faux lashes!!

All in all, I give this mascara 5 stars. I’m totally in love with it right now + I receive so many compliments on my lashes when I wear this. Definitely a keeper. It’s a yes from me!

Until Next Time…
LOVE, PEACE, AND SHOPPING RECEIPTS!

Note: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.”

Sponsored Review – MONAT Rejuveniqe Oil

Posted in beauty, blog, business, chic, cosmetics, fabulous, growth, hair care, hair tips, health, helpful, high end, hydration, instagram, moisturizing, opinion, opinions, products, review, shopping, skin care, sponsor by

Hello beauties!!

I have had a heck of a week which I will update you guys on once I’ve had a moment to rest + get myself sorted. Until then, I have a new review for you!!! Yay!!

CYMERA_20141114_225932

I was lucky enough to try out the MONAT Rejuveniqe Oil (Click here to read more about the product) + I must say, I am impressed! This product has improved my hair so so much. The product is said to help minimize thinning hair, add in needed nutrients + can promote hair growth. The oil smells nice + light but luxurious! The cap to this is a dropper which is really nice because you can control the amount of product you use…a little goes a long way (I show this in a vid on my instagram).  The packaging looks amazingly sleek + chic + just really draws your eye to it! Definitely a beautiful high end goodie you must try out!!!!

HOW I USE IT:

CYMERA_20141114_230111

After I wash my hair, I pat dry really well with a town then apply some leave in conditioner, After .I brush/comb my conditioner through, I add in the oil to my ends and then I massage it into my scalp. After those steps, I just let my hair air dry + once it does…OMG, my hair is so so soft + shiny. BEAUTIFUL!!

MY OVERALL THOUGHTS:

5-stars Rilakkuma

I totally give this product a 5 out of 5 because not only did I see instant result after my first use (and still to this day), but I have seen growth as well + that’s major for me since I’ve been trying to grow my hair out + for a bit it grew then just stalled but this definitely gave it that extra boost to start growing again. Oh + I forgot, you can use this on your body as well!! The only con I think of at the moment is the price. On the website this product retails for $99!! That’s a lot of money but if you want to splurge….DO IT!! Hahahaha. All in all, I am happy with this product + once I’m out I will probably purchase this again + try more of the MONAT products as well.

I hope this was informative for you + I will be back soon with more post so stay tuned!!

Until Next Time…

Replenix Eye Repair Cream Review

Posted in beauty, beautyfix, cosmetics, dermstore, eye cream, health, high end, makeup, products, review, skin care by
(*Disclaimer: Brand Description and ingredients were copied from the Beautyfix website. Additional information and full size price were copied from the Dermstore website*)
Hello everyone and Happy 2012!! I am back +  I can not wait to share some great beauty finds with you! Today I am reviewing an awesome eye cream that I was sponsored via Beautyfix.com. They were kind enough to let me try their services and I must say I love it!! Here is the link to my video un-boxing my items! It’s actually just a few post down. Now. moving on to the review…..
 
My Before + After Photo
 
 
As you can see from the photo, the before + after shots are drastically different! This change was after using  the Replenix eye cream for about a week. I was shocked at the results because my under eye area has always been puffy + fine line have always been there. It is all hereditary! I felt the eye cream wouldn’t make much of a difference because nothing else had + yeah, I was totally wrong!
 
The formula is smooth + melts into the skin quickly. It first comes out of the tube like a cream then dissolves away like water.  After about 15-20 minutes you (or at least I did) will notice your eye area looks completely different. it’s brighter, no bags, + looks tighter, firmer.

My Overall thought + Pros/Cons


Overall, I love this product + plain to buy it. My Pros outweigh my cons lol but I will still share them.


Pros: Light formula, absorbs into the skin quickly, great for my oily/Combination + sensitive skin, results appear quicky, this item (if available) can be tried before bought through the Beautyfix website, tightens the skin around the eye, reduces fine line + brightens the eye area.


Cons: A bit on the pricey side (but so worth it) + not available in stores (at least to my knowledge).


I hope you enjoyed this review + definitely try to get your hands on this product! It does wonderful things for your sensitive eye area + is now a staple in my skincare routine!!


Love you much,


Kaiotee
