Elizabeth Arden flawless future powered by ceramide



                                                             



The Flawless Future Caplet Serum. No doubt, part of the buzz from this product is due to the little pearlescent spheres inside the serum. The appearance actually reminds me of the  because it looks similar, with a bunch of little shimmery balls suspended in a clear watery liquid. We as consumers are always suckers for pretty, visually-appealing things, and this just hits the nail on the head. 

after getting this as a mini sample For a review  i was trilled  experience with the product did bear out my expectations from the ingredients list. I found this to be a very lightweight, easy to apply serum that sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave much residue. When you dispense the product out of the pump, the little spheres "burst" and you get a clear liquid filled with little white shimmery bits, . When blended out, the shimmers pretty much disappear into the skin, and you aren't left with a glittery finish or a shimmery face. When I used this, I found it to be light but still fairly moisturizing, although not as intensely moisturizing as some of Elizabeth Arden's other products, which seems like a fair expectation given that the Flawless Future range is geared towards a younger age group. It did seem to help my skin condition seem better overall, too. im 25 so im starting to see wrinkles (forehead around eyes and smile area) 

I was able to see results right away. My skin looks well rested, refreshed. and rejuvenated. No more dull and lifeless looking skin for this girl. 

but im off to buy some more talk to you guys later .

Product Review: Topshop Lip Bullet in 'Wine Gum"

                                              


This is very new to my collection so I don't have a great deal to say about it yet. It's a really flattering colour that, while being dark, doesn't totally overwhelm the face. The finish has a bit of a shine to it and it's very creamy to apply so it's a great option for people with dry lips who don't tend to opt for mattes. The shape makes it easy to apply since it has an angle to it, although I don't know how long it will stay that way. It's also a twist up so you don't need to worry about having a large enough sharpener. it definitely looked matte, but the Topshop website claims it to have a satiny finish, and it does, which I love! It is so moisturising, and lasts ages (around 6 hours)! I really hate when lipstick dries on my lips and this doesn't at all. The only negative to this lip product is as it's so pigmented the lipstick goes all over the cap and looks all messy :( but  I want to purchase more

PRODUCT REVIEW: SHEA MOISTURE JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL STRENGTHEN,GROW & RESTORE TREATMENT MASQUE

                    



Hey guys sooo yesterday i finally tried the new Shea Moisture JBCO LineI found most of the line at 2 CVS stores, but since i got it free from the buy one get one free i had to try it but I could not resist the temptation of the deep conditioner. What can I say? I'm a sucker for deep conditioners. So that's all I purchased -- believe it or not! I felt strangely proud of myself, 

So this is whats in the masque 


Ingredient List: water, cetyl alcohol, coconut oil, behentrimonium methosulfate, glycerin (vegetable), shea butter, stearyl alcohol, behentrimonium chloride, panthenol, hydrolyzed vegetable protein PG-propyl silanetriol, cetrimonium chloride, avocado oil, mango seed butter, olive fruit oil, peppermint leaf extract, castor seed oil, maurita flexuosa fruit oil, yeast extract, hydrolyzed keratin, macadamia seed oil, tocopherol, niacin, aloe leaf extract, essential oil blend (fragrance), caprylhydroxamic acid, caprylyl glycol, butylene glycol, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, dextran, clover flower extract, caramel


when i use this  DC is that it is NOT AT ALL slippery. It’s very heavy and buttery.I also noticed that the deep conditioner left me with a tingly sensation which I’m assuming is due to the peppermint oil.  I used the deep conditioner twice and both times loved it. It left my curls poppin, shiny and soft. I will say that I wanted castor oil to be listed higher than what it was being that this is a deep conditioner. Overall, I love this product 

 In the market for a new leave-in that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Here you go! The Jamaican Black Castor Oil line is shaping up to be really promising, and I am having a MUCH better experience with this collection.

I'm going to go ahead and give this 5 stars.

Have you purchased or will you purchase anything from the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil line?
