Blu_Ray High Definition Mattifier by Cargo

       I used the Urban Decay Mattifier and finished the tube and I thought that it was alright, but it wasn't the best I could get so I purchased this Mattifier for 28 dollars. It looks orange coming out of the tube, but blends right into my fair skin tone. It feels silky on your skin and helps keep my oil level down for 5ish hours. I have really noticed a difference in the amount of oil produced and how much makeup is transferred when a blot. Over all it is worth the splurge, in my opinion, for this product.

Helpful Hints!

       The posts titled like this will be things I've learned from personal experience. If your like me after you got your eyebrows done for the first time you liked the way they looked and wanted to keep them maintained. A little while after I got them done I found them them uneven, so I tried to even them out. I got a little pluck happy and took about half of them of..... They were even, but they were only half there.... It looked ridiculous. I had to attempt to regrow them and had to deal with how to fill them. One thing that I used that I think helped them grow faster is the Castor oil. I applied a thin coat of it with a cotton swab to my eyebrows and where the eyebrow was previously. They grew back in about 6 weeks. There really is no miracle product that can fix it in a week, but they can grow back quicker than 6 weeks depending on how quickly your hair grows in general. Also when you try to fill them in use a powder. A wax can fill in spare areas, but it will look very unnatural if there is no hair there. A pencil makes eyebrows (if there is no hair there) very unnatural so powder is your best bet.

Maybelline Falsies Vs. One by One Volume Express

       Maybelline has recently came out with two new mascaras, both of which are hyped up a lot. But are they really worth it? Starting with The Falsies, it has a non-plastic brush which normally I don't prefer, but it is in a curve with does make it better. The formula lenthens and makes your lashes appear fuller. The only problem I found with it is it does not dry quickly so I would occasionally find it below my eyes when I looked down before it dryed.
Maybelline's One by One is aslo an amazing lengthing and filling.  More on the lengthing side though in my opinion. It has a plastic brush with bristles in an oval shape. I have no problem with this formula drying, so Iprefer this mascara over the Falsies.

Overall, I recommend both of these products. If you have any questions please coment below!

Finishing Spray for Face?

       With oily skin you hate it when your face melts off. You look good at the beginning of the day and look like a hot mess at the end of the day.... Not pretty. Finishing sprays can help the problem a lot. I have tried Urban Decay All Nighter Finishing Spray and it work very well for keeping my makeup on.
The problem with this though is that even though it kept my makeup on, it didn't keep the oil away. When I blotted the oil came of, but I clearly still had oil. The next one I tried I had to order, but it was worth it. It is Skindinavia No More Shine Setting Spray.
I went ahead and bought the biggest size in this because I had high hopes and it did not disappoint! It kept my oil gone for 5ish hours compared to the 1 hour it usually stays for. It also helped not have transfer while blotting. I'm always on the lookout for new things though! Over all, I really like this product and would highly recommend it. I have learned to spray any setting spray before and after makeup application for more results.

Morning Skincare for Oily Skin

       I use a whole different system in the morning. At night I use the proactiv to target my acne while in the morning I use products to help control oil. For my cleanser I use the, not new but recently put on the market, Neutrogena Shine Control Daily Scrub. It actually comes out blue! It also has rice protiens to help absorb oil.

Next, for toner I use the Sea Breeze Actives Blemish and Blackhead control.
Lastly, I use the highly talked about Clinque Dramatically Different Moisterizing Gel. I wasn't gonna by this because it was on the high price scale, but after being desperate for relief from such oily skin so I bought it. I'm definitly not regretting it. It is very light and absorbs quickly.

Lastly, if I have a problem spot in the morning I use the Clean and Clear Advantange Acne Spot Treatment. It is drying so if does not make my skin any oilier. Is that a word? Lol.


Thank you for reading! If you have a question please leave a comment!

Favorite Spring Body Spray and Perfume

       My favorite spring body spray that I have been reaching for is Pink body splash in Sweet and Flirty.
This spray just smells delicious like a mixture of different fruits. 

The perfume is DNKY Be Delicious. It smells just like green apple which is my favorite scent.

Those are my top ones that I have used the most lately.
