Avon Goodies!

i was sent some goodies from Avon Rep Christina to try out =]

yayyy! thanks again!

MagiX Face Perfector

the info:

-gel to powder formula

-contains spf20

-visibly minimizes pores with patent-pending Optix Light-Diffusing Technology

-holds back shine for up to 10 hours

-reduces the look of fine lines...skin feels softer than ever.  

ok so my face has got to be one of the oiliest faces on this earth
i do a lot of blotting and powdering

unfortunately, i don't think i'll ever find anything out there that will completely control all the oiliness that comes out of this face lol
but.. i did find something to help it

the Magix Face Perfector didn't keep me shine free for 10 hrs..
but it did keep me looking less shiny than usual for a few hours and my skin felt super soft after i applied it

on any other person with "normal" oily skin(or any other skin type) it would probably work better lol

Magix Face Perfector is on sale right now for $7.99
(the best priced face primer that i've seen!)

True Color Eyeshadow Quad
"Aquadelic Quad"

colors:
Rich Creme, Coral Crush, Aquadelic, Black Ice
  i'm loving the colors in this quad and how pigmented they are!

can't wait to do a makeup look using these =]

Nailwear Pro Polish
"Urban Grey"
 
(after 3 coats)
love the color
i've been wanting a grey polish for a while now and i finally have one!

it says it lasts up to 10 days with normal touch ups... i haven't tested that out yet

but i don't get it.. if you have to touch it up then that means it doesn't last for 10 days.. right? i'm confused lol

 Nourishing Banana & Coconut Milk Shower Gel

this smells delish =]
and my skin felt so nice and smooth after using it

Daisy Fuentes "Unforgettable You" Book Review

I was contacted by Victoria @ ID to review Daisy Fuentes new book "Unforgettable You".

I got to finish reading it while i was away =]

In the book Daisy talks about how to become an unforgettable you. (obviously lol)

She shares advice that she has learned through experience, from family, friends, and other celebs.

The topics she writes about:
-Knowing who you are
- Etiquette
- Relationships with men, family, and friends
- Sex
- Spirituality
- Beauty

This book is filled with interesting facts and great tips that every girl should know...

such as first date do's and don'ts, grammar help, etiquette, beauty tips and more.

It also has lots of questionnaires to help you learn more about yourself and where you want to be.

 Overall it was a pretty good book to read in my free time.. but i would not pay $24.00 for it..
that's a little much in my opinion lol

so if you're interested in this book check out Amazon.com for a better deal =]
