Happy Summer!

Hey guys! Happy summer!

The school year has ended for me which means sleeping in late and partying all night. Okay, maybe not that extreme seeing that I'm an IB student and have an ACT to take, CAS Hours to fill and IB projects to start on. However, I am able to finally take a break and breathe a little. Plus, I can finally get that tan that I've been trying to work on so hard!

Lisi Peach Cobbler Eyeconic Duo Baked Eye Shadow Duo

This was an impulse buy that I happened to stumble on at TJ Maxx. I really liked the colours and I often find myself hoarding similar neutrals. However, the yellow in the shadow was a new twist and I wanted to try some of these baked shadows because I like the idea of being able to use two colours either separately or together.

Lisi is a brand that I've never heard of before. It's not a brand I've seen at any drugstores or makeup shops like Ulta so this product was a little bit of a gamble. However, I like the duochrome in the eye shadow and the product itself. The colour lasts all day; these are very wearable and easy colours to use. The shadow is a little stiff to get onto the brush, but it's very workable. The colour pay off is decent for a light duochrome like this.

I like the product and hope to see more from this brand. Check them out HERE because I was browsing through their website and noticed the 50% off your purchase. Who doesn't like good deals?

Beauty Boxes

So, I've been thinking about ordering from a beauty box of some sort. I've seen a lot of them on YouTube videos and whatnot and there is something about a monthly surprise (no pun intended) that catches my eye. I'd probably get one of the lower priced ones like Birchbox and was wondering if any of my readers order from one or knew someone who does? Stories? Experiences? Thoughts?

Clear Ultra Shea Cleanse and Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner

Honestly, this was a review I should have posted long ago. I got the sample a few months back but I just now got around to using it.

I really like this shampoo. I've noticed a huge difference in my hair and scalp since using it. I have a very sensitive and dry scalp which leaves it very itchy. I've tried some of the brand names like "Head and Shoulders" but I haven't really gotten much relief from them.

This product has overall improved the quality of my hair. I have noticed it is much softer (And I mean MUCH softer), less frizzy and more manageable and it's not like my hair was that bad to begin with. I have less dandruff which means that my scalp has improved as well.

The shampoo lathers well and the conditioner is very nourishing. The products are fairly cheap at around $4.98 for 12.7 oz. and are often found on sale. I would try them out if you're interested.

Bright Eyeliner!

I just wanted to show you guys my latest experiment with eyeliner! I like the different neon pops and have been using Urban Decay's Shadow Pencils and an angled brush under some liquid eyeliner.

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense

Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense is a phenomenal product. I really don't think I could rave enough about it.

It has a gel-like consistency which allows it to soak into the skin very quickly. This means I can easily fit it into my morning routine without it taking up extra time waiting for it to dry. There is no greasy residue left over. It has stopped the flaking and appearance of the dry skin on my forehead. A little goes a long way.

There is no fragrance which is nice (I personally don't care for it in my make up.) I apply it under my eyes and there is no irritation and I have noticed an improvement of the dark circles and how quickly they disappear when I use this product. It does not clog pores and is great to use any time of the year.


I highly advise this product if you're looking for an excellent moisturizer.
