 Introducing Marissa AKA RISSROSE2 on YouTube.com

 

 

Marissa is my new favorite Youtuber! Her make up looks are awesome and easy to accomplish. She admits she doesn’t have a big ole’ stash of make up so you know you don’t need tons of stuff to recreate her looks. She’s very down to earth, friendly, approachable (if you have Qs), and HILARIOUSLY funny! Just watch and see.

Beauty in Bulk!

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Ladies, ladies! While shopping at Costco tonight, I ran into this…

 

Holy Smashbox Batman! For only $19.99… You get a cute black compact with a four shade palette of neutral colors…

Clockwise from top left; a medium pink shade, a taupe shade, a pale yellow shade, and a dark brown shade. 

 A sample packet of Photo Finish foundation primer…

  A good sized tube of Skin Tint in Radiance (LOVE THIS!)

Three adorable doll sized lipglosses in…

   The lipglosses come with a cute patent leather pink case which snugly fits all three glosses…

 Oh, and it has a tiny mirror!

 and finally sample sized tubes of their Layer Lash Primer and That’s a Wrap Mascara in black. 

 Burp!

This package is a perfect starter kit for anyone wanting to try Smashbox products without committing to the full sized prices.  The color combination is user friendly and perfect for any skin tone and eye color.  It was such a steal, I couldn’t pass it up. It was so hard to decide between this or the Stila package they had for $15.99, which sold at Nordstrom’s for about $40! Being that I have tried more Smashbox products than Stila, my choice was obvious. But now that I keep chatting about it I think I will back tomorrow to get the Stila package! I better see you there!!

 

    

Skin, is in!

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Not everyone has perfect skin so what do us blemished people do about it?? We try every product under the sun until we find one that is suitable for our own skin’s special needs!  We also take suggestions from friends, our abuelita’s hechicero, estiticians, and dermatologists. All with sickingly beautiful skin so we believe them, but for some unknown reason, their suggestions don’t work for us.  So what do we do?? Keep trying! 

Products I’ve tried range from inexpensive drugstore brands such as ClearasilZapZytNeutrogena, and the list goes on and on. What about the more expensive systems??? ProActiv? Check! Arbonne Clear Advantage? Check!  And the ridiculously expensive spa quality brands such as Decleor or Burke William Spa’s own skin care line, H2V? CHECK CHECK!! It’s an exhausting battle, but one cannot relent lest ye be ridden with zits galore!My latest trial is with Acne Recovery System by Trienelle:

 

“Acne Changes – shouldn’t your treatment? It’s the nature of acne that sometimes it’s better and sometimes it’s worse. Until now, no acne medication could make the changes in strength to fit your changing acne needs. Need it stronger today? Milder tomorrow? No problem…you’re in control.” - www.acnerecovery.com 

Sometimes you wonder…”What’s the difference?” between this brand and that? Well, this unique acne control system is adjustable!! Read more about this unique system on the their website! At first glance, this system looks suspiciously similar to ProActiv and all the other brands out there but TRUST ME, it’s not. I have been using this brand since December 2007 and so far…so gggreeat! I have had no need to continue my quest for the elusive pimple cure and the results…simply miraculous! This brand can be pricey, but so worth it! I lucked out and found it at Nordstrom Rack for $19.99!  This product is definitely worth checking out.  Visit their website, view the testimonials, and make a request for an early Quince present!
