Cover Girl BB Cream review

Hello everyone! So I have not done a review in a long time, so I thought since I am trying the BB cream from cover girl I would do a review of it.  So lets start with this review!

So this is what the packaging looks like. It reminds me of a a mermaids ha or water either one works.  I find it very easy to use. I have no problems whats so ever getting the product out from the tube.

Pros - This product is very light. I am so far loving it! My makeup does not cake and it just feels really light. I feel a bit more natural wearing it.  A very big plus for me is that It does not take very much product to cover my face at all. A little goes a long way! I think the main thing for me though is that the product just feels really light on my face. Where I live it is very very humid in the summer and when I wear makeup I can just feel the makeup melting off and I can feel it being cake-y but with this I do not get that feeling.

Cons - Even though it is a tinted moisturizer I still find my self having to use concealer, but I do not really mind that. I really really do not like that I am having to use a lot more powder during the day. My face just feels and looks oily but I a thinking that is simply because it has SPF and my skin type is also oily, so those might and probably do play a role in that. But I just find myself having to apply a lot of press power to I feel and look matt.

Other than those couple of cons I really like the product and I am for sure going to keep using it. I also noticed that my skin looks a lot clearer and hey that is always a plus for anyone that wears makeup.

As always big thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the short reviews. Please be sure to check back for me :) Please be sure to share and comment.

My Favorites in Fashion and Beauty!

I have lots of favorites but I figured that today I would break down my top six fashion and beauty favorites, three being beauty and the other three being fashion. So lets starts before I start to ramble on haha.

Whiskered Skinny Jeans - Forever 21

I love skinny jeans...for the love of all things if they are ripped I am twice as likely to buy them.  I first did not really like skinny jeans it was just something about them that made them look like they are just not comfortable, but wow I was really amazed. Of course I noticed that other girls were wearing them and to me I just did not want to conform and go with what everyone else was wearing but doing my back to school shopping in 7th grade I tried someone just to try them on and that is when the addiction on the skinny jeans started, it was also when my emo/scene days started but that is just a totally different story for a different time. Although I do have a rule for when I wear skinny jeans. NO tennie shoes whats so ever! I only wear uggs ( yes I still wear uggs lol ) boots/ heeled boots, Ballet flats, or flip flops.  I feel like wearing tennie shoes with skinny jeans it just looks weird or atleast it looks weird on me haha.

spiked bow uber platform pump - charlotte russe

Ok all in all I love a good pair of pumps these are just extra cute because they have the spikes and that adds a bit of flare to them. I am kinda short, or least I feel short haha I am  5'4 but in general I love a good pair of heels. They make me feel tall and sexy! Of course who does not want to feel that but also they make my legs look even longer. For a short girl ( ok normal size I guess lol!) I pretty long legs so that is a plus. But I love heels the taller the heel the better!

BLTD Lace Peasent top - Rue 21

I have for some reason really been loving lace. I have no clue why but I over the summer got a lace top and from there on out I just feel in love it. I know some people may think it have this old lady feel to it but done up and worn in the right way it looks really well. I have this classic feel to it and if you pair it with a leather jacket or some spiked heels you can have an edgy style that is girly and chic yet so vintage and edgy and something about that just speaks to me, that I really like.  None of that probably made any since lol but to me it does and if you love lace like I do then you might be able to understand at least half of what I said lol!

mega hair spray mega hold - aussie

This hair spray smells so good, and it really works. Aussie in general is a really good brand and I can highly recommend using it but ah it just smells so freaking good. The other night I curled my hair so that in the morning I would not have to worry about and sprayed it with some of this hair spray and WOW! It held all night long woke up and had the same great hair still, now I must say that is the clear way or saying that this product works.

Time zone - Estee lauder

To wrinkle or not to wrinkle...ha not wrinkle! haha This product is really great of of course as I stated in a one of my other blogs I am only 17 and I do not have wrinkles but none the less it is never to early to start. I use this in the morning because it has spf and it makes my skin feel super soft. I know it cost a lot of money but this is something that I would recommend getting it is well worth the money.

style elements  flat iron

I actually have no idea where you can get this flat iron, because I got it for Christmas but I use this thing everyday ( no joke)  It works really well and it heats up so fast, I actually curl my hair with this flat iron and it works really well. So two thumbs up from me :)

As you can see these are my top favorites of  fashion and beauty. As always I hope you enjoyed reading please feel free to subscribe by email, and send to others ( share the edge! )

Vintage..a fashionable come back!

Today at work ( hehe thanks to my nice boss #daddy'sgirl ) as I was checking out the news I saw this story on an 80's style that is making its way back.  Now as you can see I am inspired to write a blog about some of my top 3 vintage things that have come back that I really like/love.

Betsey Johnson 2012 Fashion week

1. Cripmed hair...ah a true 80's hair style that I like ha! This one of those things that it is just fun and although I am 100% sure it damages the hell out of your hair, for one day I think it is worth it, so long as you keep those baby hairs down and tamed and don't go by the time less southern rule the bigger the hair the closer to god ;) ( don't worry I am from the south I know how to put the " T" in teased haha )

Forever 21 Peplum 1950's inspired skirt

2. Yay to this! I love the 50's fashion style, it breaths class and elegance but hey that is just me. Now when you look at a true 1050's peplum skirt actually any skirt from that time it is stopped at the knee or just below, as you can clearly see this is 2012 take on the classic style. I really like the skirt this is one of great items that you can dress up or down and it day out with girls kinda outfit.  Also a side note to this one above that you see I think the color choice is amazing I like peach just can't wear it seeing how it does not work very well with my skin tone.  Links to the skirt will be place down below!

oversized jacket 60's trend 2012 take on it 

3. Over sized equals cute size haha! Love these I my self want one maybe not in those colors shown above, seeing how a lot of my closet is filled with black ( I am trying very hard to pull my self away from that and add more color) but I would with out a doubt rock one of the over sized coats. These are  great for this time of year, and thing oversized to simply spells comfy and cozy plus with all the holidays coming we all want to hide away that food coma we are in, well at least I do haha #yummyfood

As you can see those are my top three loves for 2012 fall vintage trends, from the hair to the cozy coat, you got the best. As always thanks to anyone that reads please feel free to share my blog with anyone leave comments and subscribe.

Cover Girl Makeup review

Cover girl is one of the timeless classics that every girl seems to start out with and builds off of. It is like a good foundation to getting better with makeup and learning  how the products work.  I have been using cover girl products since I was about 12 or 13  and now I happen to be 17 so I believe my thoughts on this product are true and I can honestly tell you how they work for me.

Cover Girl oil control liquid foundation

This product I must say at first I was impressed with, but as I hot into the hotter months, I found my self not liking. This foundation goes on light and smooth leaves you with a nice flawless finish but with in about two hours or so my makeup looked caked on and just looked awful. Now during the winter months this product did better for me. I still found my self applying powder to take the shiny away, and my skin tends to brake out when I am using this product. This were two deal breakers for me. Now Before I did start using the Estee Lauder, I bought a second bottle of this which I will be using in the winter months once again to test it and see just how well it looks. I am also not fond on the packaging, but once again one of those things you can live with.

Cover Girl pressed powder oil control

Impressed! I must say I do really like the way this product works, leaves no shine, and flawless look. My makeup doesn't feel heavy or looked caked on with this powder. The packaging is nice but I must say the hinging on it kinda cheap, My first one that I got it actually broke on me * tear* and I was quite upset by that and the fact that the mirror doesnt stay up it own, you have to actually hold it which in some cases can be a pain, but nothing that you can't deal with. I also highly recommend that you a power brush instead of the little powder puff that is provided inside. The powder puff does leave a caked on look where the powder brush leaves a nice smooth clean coverage all over.

Cover Girl Invisible Concealer

I am not that impressed with this product. For me it just didn't set right. It was also clumpy. Not I must say It matched my skin tone nicely and that I really like but it is once again, a start product.  I guess this is good if you just are in a pinch a need to rush out of the house and want to use cover up and not do your whole beauty makeup routine. Which by the way I have actually done that before and it worked well but not something I would wear everyday.  Packing is nice I don't have any complaints about, the want is nice and the tube is nice size.
