NC Dollar Store Beauty

I bought some new beauty products, most of them from a dollar store while I was in NC, since they had products not sold in Miami dollar stores. All, but the tri-color eyeshadow kit was from that dollar store, those were ordered online from Miss A. For the silver eyeshadow from Wet n' Wild, I saved it for New Year's, I used it as eyeshadow and body glitter as it is served as both. It was very stubborn glitter as I still had some the next day even after a shower and washing my face. I shall be making more purchases from this dollar store on future visits, it is in Wake Forest.

My New Year's eve look even though it was only for a few hours as I had to work until late and wake up really early to continue working.

I hadn't used this eyeshadow/eyeliner duo until today.

The eyeshadow is actually very similar to another eyeshadow I own that I wear very often, so it was a plus.

There were choices in purple and green, but I chose the orange one, so it would give a slight tint to my lips.

Sephora Primer

Unknown beauty , chic 0 Comments

It was a few days before I was to leave to North Carolina and I needed a primer, since my samples were all gone. I wanted to get the travel size of the Benefit primer, since it was $10 and I was going to use it for travel, but there were no more and as I was headed empty handed, I noticed a section of primers and decided to have a look. I saw this primer from the Sephora brand and it was a nice size like the mineral veil primer I had a sample of. A 0.5 ounces for $15 seemed like a better opportunity than the 0.25 ounces of the Benefit primer.

It went on buttery smooth and I love that I only need a little bit for my whole face.

Here I am with the primer and my make up after a long day at work, I would say it's a keeper.

Product Review: Physician's Formula Conceal RX

Unknown accessories , beauty 0 Comments

I have just discovered my new best friend! I was in the market for a new concealer that would cover up my imperfections and acne dark spots, I have a CVS within walking distance and I was between a matte foundation and multiple concealers and then I saw the Physician's Formula section. On the front it said all the areas it covers and then I flipped it over and saw pictures of before and afters and realized this is exactly was I was looking for.

This is my skin without any makeup or products on, as you can see, I have multiple dark spots from my acne that happened from stress this past fall and winter. I'm a person who usually only gets one pimple per month.

This is after putting it on, they are immediately erased.

This is each side after finishing my whole look. It is amazing, I love it and I have definitely found the product I was looking for.

Thought I'd show some of what I wore that day, sparkly gray top was a gift, worn with skinny jeans.

Clear and gray flower earrings were a gift from my uncle years ago, ring set was bought online from my wholesaler, Guess watch and stainless steel bracelet that was a gift from Nicaragua.

I told my new roommate about this new product I discovered and she actually actually uses the same one. She showed me her half used up bottle and agrees it is amazing, she has cystic acne and it covers up very well. I discussed with her that I no longer needed to buy the $30 foundation that I was in love with from Esteè Lauder now that I found this product, which is only $10. Does the same thing, but much different prices, I think I'll stick to Physician's Formula.

This is an unpaid product review and my actual honest opinion about a new product I discovered. Only edits on pictures that were done were making them lighter since it was kind of dark in the room.
