VICHY AQUALIA THERMAL NIGHT SPA

So I was given another Vichy sample pack of the Aqualia Therma night spa.

This is the 1st spa sleeping mask for at home use. This is a very well appreciated beauty regime in Asia, but is now becoming more noticeable in areas such as Canada.

So according to the in formation I received on this product, it claims to deeply replenish, skin looks visibly rested, plumped & radiant.

 

So what your suppose to do is apply an ample amount all over the face except eye area, then allow to sit on the skin for a good 15 minutes. Then gently massage any excess in to the skin. Follow up by leaving it on while you sleep, it will not leave anything on your pillowcase.

 

So I did use this mask and my thoughts are as follows. I can see why people enjoy this, but this product is not for me personally. This is a very rich hydrating type mask and someone like myself who is naturally quite oily does not need anymore hydration to my skin other then drinking lots of water.

I do see how someone with very dry parched skin would benefit from this extremely emollient mask. Also for me I found I had a couple of pimples in the morning after using this so for me I give this product a thumbs down for oily skinned individuals.

 

It does state that it is for sensitive skin, is paraben free and of course has the Vichy thermal water in it. I do hope those with dry, tired skin will give this a try because it truly is like a tall drink for the face.

 

Let me know if you have dry skin and have seen results using this Aqualia Thermal Night Spa

till then stay hydrated and..........

ANNABELLE COSMETIC MULTI-BRONZE PALETTE FOR SUMMER 2013

Hi everyone,

              So now that we are finally arriving into the summer months Its time for this girl to bust out the bronzers. I am such a huge fan of bronzers, but they have to be a true tan affect, not a nasty artificial orange faked over baked look. To me there is nothing sexier then a subtle sun kissed glow. Sometimes achieving that can be difficult for some and you look more like someone has thrown very clay based mud at your face.

Today I am reviewing Annabelle's multi-bronze palette that just released and it's a beauty. It offers 5 tan enhancing shades that will blend seamlessly together to create that gorgeous natural glow.

 

As you can see the palette it self is a work of art and being such a fan of butterflies that drew me in right away. Actually for a long time a few years back my go to eyeshadow trio use to be Annabelle's AMAZON. It was the perfect neutral trio with a beige, champagne beige and a muted green that were just great all around for everyday use and the colour payoff is very good.

 

So this bronzer has gradient colour and when mixed together creates a gorgeous finish sure to please. I like this palette because it's not to rich. Bronzers in general can be a touchy subject and you have to pick accordingly to your natural skin as well as understanding your own skin when it tans, if you tan.

This bronzer gives a nice glowy sheen without it being to over illuminating so your not lite up like a light bulb. Any bronzer no matter how dark can be sheered out to look more natural. So don't load your brush to much and dust lightly. Don't overly rub it into your face and hold your bronzing brush closer to the end away from your face as not to overload the colour.

 

Annabelle products are very affordable and offer a wealth of benefits such as

being dermatologist tested, hypo-allergenic, paraben free, perfume free and gluten free. These are all a bonus to me as I have sensitive skin and the less filler in a product the better. However be aware this is a talc based product for those who are not a fan of such ingredient.

 

This palette is very generous at 12.7g which is almost 3g more then most bronzer compacts and was a mere $11 which is excellent for the amount you get and the quality of the product.

REVLON PHOTOREADY PRIMER + SHADOW PALETTES & L'OREAL BRAZEN BOLD SHADOW QUAD

So in case you are just starting to read my blogs or for those that aren't aware. Eyeshadow is by far my favoured choice when it comes to buying cosmetics. I think that nothing makes a bigger statement then our eyes because they are the windows to our soul. I do feel that you should emphasis what ever feature you feel is your best, so for me it is eye's.

Yes that's what we are talking about today more beautiful delicious eyeshadows.

First up is Revlon Photoready eyeshadow with primer.
My first pick was the palette called BOHEMIAN which you can check out my Instagram to see my eyes of the day I did using this palette.

 

I love these colours and the name chosen for this palette I think is perfectly suited. These are very shimmery and colour payoff is excellent. The thing I like most about these shadows they are super soft like suede and go on flawlessly. The other thing I like is that if you leave out the blue you can make a very nice neutral eye with the remaining colours. The one thing I don't like is the concept within the palette of the eye and lid shape. Yes its esthetically nice to look at, but a flaw in my books because colours transfer between each other when working with them unless your super careful.

 

My second choice is the palette called POP ART this palette leans more towards a smokey sultry eye with the rich gold and deeper black with a gold glitter infused throughout and a very unusual silver/blue shade. There is also a very neat glitter shade which is a small square its a green/yellow base with very pretty green glitter that would look amazing for a New Year party look.

 

 

Each palette is 2.8g which is about the same quantity if you bought two MAC single pan eyeshadows, except with this your getting five colours. Each colour in these palettes has a specific use such as a lid primer, bottom lid shade, crease, highlight and sparkle top coat.

The best part is that this week in the "Rexall Pharma Plus" flyer all Revlon eye products are $6.99 so I priced matched that at my local WalMart. This is a great buy because each palette is normally $12 WOW $$$ BIG SAVE

 

The last item to share today is L'Oreal's colour riche BRAZEN BOLDS quad in the colour NEON SKIRT. I have been looking at this for a while and finally decided to get it only because I had enough SHOPPERS DRUG MART Optimum points to cover the cost of it. There are a couple more I would like to eventually get and try, but in the cosmetic world or with anything it's never ending.

 

 

The pink, white and yellow gold tend to be quite shimmery and the green is a bit more matte, but with a super fine glitter that you must look very hard to see. Again this type of palette is all complimentary colours intended to all work seamlessly together. So if your a novice at makeup these simple quads are a good starting point. They also provide step by step instructions on the back to help you achieve a flawless look using all the colours.

These quads are 4.8g/.17oz and cost normally about $12-$14 depending on where you shop. It was on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $10.50, but again I used my points so for me it was essentially free.

 

 

So that sums up today's review on all things "SHADOW"
