JANE IREDALE PUREPRESSED BASE MINERAL FOUNDATION REVIEW

Hi Glam Fam!

I've had the opportunity to try some best selling Jane Iredale products,which is a skincare based cosmetic brand which was founded in 1994.


The PurePressed Mineral powder foundation has SPF 20,and provides light-medium buildable coverage.

It contains antioxidants such as Pink Bark & Pomegranate extract which are potent to help free radical production caused by sun exposure. 

It has a nice semi-matte finish, and I prefer to use it to set my liquid foundation for a flawless finish.

I received the shade Warm Silk which matches my skin tone perfectly!
 (I'm NW15/NC20 in M.A.C)

It's also great because you can purchase refills for the compact (sold separately)
instead of a whole new compact.

The retail price for the powder is $42 usd,and the brush is $45 usd.

I'm also enjoying The Handi Brush,which is a soft flat head goat hair brush that provides great coverage and feels smooth on the skin.

You can purchase the products here :



What are your thoughts on Jane Iredale? 

Will you be trying any products?

CANDYLIPZ LIP PLUMPER XTREME LIP SHAPER SYSTEM REVIEW PUMP MODEL B!

Hi guys and dolls!



Ever wanted naturally large,plump lips?

 Of course you have-we all do!


Follow me on Instagram for more pics!! 
@Sweetglamourmakeup







I first learned of this wonder plumper when I was doing Playboy Cover Model Lara Cole's makeup for a magazine shoot.

Before I applied lip color she used her apple pump and her lips were double the size after just 2 minutes; right before my eyes!


Lara cole "Candylipping" before I finished her makeup!

I was so amazed that I had to learn more about it!

Dr.Thienna Ho took 3 years of research and invented this award-winning product-after wanting fuller lips during aging,but falling short after trying different procedures.

This is how CANDYLIPZ XTREME LIP-SHAPER® SYSTEM was born!

She is such an inspiration-she holds 4 Guinness World records,authored 2 books,and so much more among her many achievements!

Her invention has won 3 prestigious awards for technical design.

It's the Candylipz Lip plumper!

Candylipz Xtreme Lip-Shaper System has been

 CLINICALLY PROVEN TO:

Increase Lip Volume immediately after application

Increase Lip Volume for up to 2 hours after first use

Increase Lip Volume after 10, 28 and 60 days of use
Reduce side effects of product application (erythema, edema, and dryness) after continued use 

You won't be needing any needles,fillers or lip gloss "plumpers" anymore!

Actual photo of Dr.Thiennas lips!

The packaging is cute and sophisticated-
I received "Model B"..which is good for starting out,to "train" your lips so to speak.

If you want the "Angelina Jolie" double-lobed look you can opt for that. 

I just started "Candylipping" today and saw an immediate result after 2 minutes. I don't have super thin lips but they aren't as voluptuous and pouty as I want them.
After my first use of this product,and seeing the results right away,I know over time my lips will get even better!

I will be going through the"conditioning period" and will post before & after results,as well as be filming a more in-depth Youtube review which I will be posting soon.

So far,I am loving it very much!!

Everyone needs one of these!

Here is a chart to decide which model is best for you.

Dr.Thienna was kind enough to offer my readers a coupon code of 10% off!!

Use coupon code: 

LOVESARAH 

 at checkout for the discount.

Buy it here: https://candylipz.com and the model I have is Model B.

Can't wait to show you all my sexy,luscious lips hehe!

FOREVER 21 BARBIE COLLECTION 2014!

Hi lovelies!



If you haven't seen the Barbie Collection at Forever 21,you've been missing out!

Its a limited edition collaboration and so much has already sold out.

I've been an avid Barbie & Hello Kitty fan as long as I can remember!

If you're girly,love pink and anything cute,this is for you!

I picked up the lipstick set,a tote bag,PJ set,a pink body suit,compact mirrors + 3 makeup bags.

It was so hard to resist the cuteness!

The lipsticks are nice,but the light pink was very sheer.

The hot pink and red shade were a little bit creamier with a better color payoff.





What do you think of this collaboration?

NYX COSMETICS BUTTER GLOSS HAUL AND REVIEW


I purchased these NYX butter glosses from a sale awhile ago and have been meaning to do a review.

The texture is amazing-It's so smooth and not sticky,literally goes on like butter.

The coverage is buildable,it's more of a sheer gloss than opaque.

My favorite thing about them in the scent-like a sweet cookie or cake!

For the price,$5 each,I would definitely recommend it.




The colors I bought are Cherry Pie,Vanilla Cream Pie,Maple Blondie,Eclair,Meringue Meringue.

I'd rate these 5 stars!

You can purchase these at NYX Cosmetics.

What do you think of the butter gloss and/or lipsticks?

TOO FACED CHOCOLATE BAR EYESHADOW PALETTE REVIEW!


Hi Guys & Dolls!

I was so excited to receive my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette..even more so than the Naked 3!

It's actually part of the Too Faced Spring collection but was exclusive to Sephora until 12/31,and launched at Ulta on 1/1/2014.

It simply looks delicious ; the packaging reminds me of a Hershey bar I've been waiting to devour around that time of the month.

It's so cute-and the eyeshadows are formulated with real cocoa powder,making it even more decadent.

The colors:
There are 16 shades with a perfect combination of mattes and shimmery shadows.

The texture:
I was very impressed with the pigmentation and blendability of the shades.

The colors are all new also:


  • Glided Ganache
  • White Chocolate
  • Milk Chocolate
  • Salted Caramel
  • Black Forest Truffle
  • Triple Fudge
  • Marzipan
  • Semi-Sweet
  • Strawberry Bon Bon
  • Candied Violet
  • Amaretto
  • Hazelnut
  • Creme Brulee
  • Haute Chocolate
  • Cherry Cordial
  • Champagne Truffle








Overall,
I think it is definitely worth the $49 investment,and I find myself reaching for it everyday to create an array of neutral,soft and smokey looks.

You can purchase this at Sephora here.

What do you think about this palette? 

Do you love it or leave it?

URBAY DECAY VICE 2 PALETTE REVIEW AND PHOTOS!





Hi lovelies!

Check out my video review here!



I'm reviewing a beautiful palette that I was so excited to get my hands on;
Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette!

I have mainly MAC eyeshadows,but I received the Naked 2 palette as a gift last year,and I loved the buttery smooth texture of the shadows.this palette is no exception.

The packaging is very sleek and attractive,as most Urban Decay products are.
The color story is diverse,so you can create a multitude of looks with this.

I think for the colors,quality and packaging it is a great value for $59,plus I got an extra Sephora Discount (friends & family of 20%),so to me it was a double win!

My favorite colors in this palette are Prank,Betrayal,and Lovesick.
I wish it had a few more matte shades to use them as a transition/blending colors,but I can't complain.

You can get the palette here!

What's your favorite Urban Decay Palette?
