June Glam Bag


"Out All Night" Glam Bag

Items included:
1. NYX Round Lipstick (in shade Saturn)
2. Living Proof Nourishing Styling Cream
3.  Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Gel Moisturizer
4.  Marbella Permanent Eyeliner Pen

For this month bag, the items came in a beautiful sparkling gold clutch.  First of all, I was super amaze about the Living Proof styling cream this month because their hair products work ahh-mazing!  It does so much for my hair as I apply it on.  My hair was instantly softer and it smells wonderful too.  I love hair products that smells good.  Philosophy's Take a Deep Breath moisturizer reminds me of Lancome's Aqua Bienfait gel moisturizer.  It is a gel texture that goes on lightly onto my face without that heavy sticky feeling.  This moisturizer has no fragrance and it is oil-free.  The NYX lipstick I received is in shade Saturn and it is a medium reddish color with a hint of pink in it.  It is very pigmented and smooth.  Marbella eyeliner is a plus for summer.  It is a long wear liquid eyeliner which is perfect for the summer for a no touch up makeup.

Clarisonic Mia


Clarisonic Mia in Baby Pink.

1. One Speed
2. Waterproof
                                3. Easy to store (size is convenient)
                  4. Gentle for sensitive skin
5. Soft bristles

I love this Clarisonic Mia!  I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews on this, I decided to take a risk.  I have been using this Clarisonic for 5 months and I am not disappointed.  I see better results in my skin.  My face was smoother and I break out less.   

Maybelline Illuminator




Maybelline Illuminator in 500 Blissful Pink.

Pros: The color pigmentation and oil-free.
Cons: The frost texture makes it difficult to pick up the product with a brush and it is pricey.

When I found this illuminator at Wal Greens, I was super excited because I have been looking for a pink illuminator for the longest time.  For a drugstore product, I think this illuminator is pricey.  I bought this at the price of $8.99.  When I swatched the product with my middle finger, it didn't exceed my expectation.  I was expecting this illuminator to be smooth, but this illuminator is a frost finish.  It is hard to pick up products with a brush.  When applying this onto my cheeks, it looks like I have chunks of glitters on my face.  I don't think I would be buying this product again.    

Wet N' Wild Matt Lipsticks



1. 965 Cherry Picking: deep fuchsia pink (New Shade!)
2. 907C Mauve Outta Here: pale mauve (New Shade!)
3. 902C: light brown
4. 911D: blue red
5. 903C Just Peachy: pale peach (New Shade!)

Pros: Affordable, long-wearing and pigmented.
Cons: It drys out my lips and the lipstick breaks easily.  

Since these lipsticks are matte, I recommend adding lipgloss on top to decrease drying out your lips. Other than that, these lipsticks are wearable and under the budget.  The packaging is cute and petite, making it easy to carry it along with you anywhere, but these lipsticks break easily.  The bottom of the lipstick tends to break so before you buy these lipsticks, shake them.  If you hear no clicking sound then the lipstick haven't break yet.  The Mauve lipstick broke when I got home from the store.  I was a little disappointed, but what can I say because you do get what you paid for.  I didn't do any research on these lipsticks before I bought them so  I didn't know that these lipsticks break easily.  I still recommend these lipsticks, but check for breakage first.  Other than the poor packaging, these lipsticks are highly pigmented and long-wearing.
