Olay Olay

Hello everyone today I wanted to do a quick review on two new Olay cleansing products I recently purchased.  :)

1. Blackhead clearing scrub-  The scrub is clear with blue microbeads.  It feels very soft to the skin and really removes excess dirt of the face.  Helps prevent and reduce acne or blackheads.  This scrub does not foam.
2. Skin smoothing cream scrub-  The scrub is white with clear microbeads.  The consistency feels like lotion and does not foam.  It leaves the face very smooth and moisturized after use.  Helps illuminate the skin.

Overall  I like both products! The skin smoothing cream scrub is more gentler to the face and I use that on a daily basis.  As for the blackhead clearing scrub I use it once a week.  It has salicylic acid so it's a bit harsh to the face but when I have my occasional breakouts I use it twice I week!  Both products are very good drugstore face products and I would definitely recommend it to those who have current breakouts.  It really helps clear my face!  And best of all I got both products on sale!  Original price was $8.50, the grocery store had them on sale for -$3.80 each, AND I had a $3 coupon ^_^  I paid less than $5 for both products! woot woot!

Question of the Day

What's the #1 most played song on your iPod?

I laughed so hard when I looked out my highest playing song on iTunes. lol

Look At Me Now by Chris Brown (feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes)

This song always makes me feel pumped up, I play it in my car all the time!

Hope everyone is having an awesome week! What's your #1 most played song on your iPod?

"Perfect Pink" Brush Set Review

I purchased this brush set mainly because it was pink, but also because I've never owned a "brush set" before.  This was my first brush set purchase! Super Exciting! ^_^

FYI all brushes are dirty, I just used them >_<

1. Blush Brush-  love love love!  Very soft good quality!
2. Fan Brush- the one in this set I wasn't fond of,  the brush kept on shedding and I only use it when I'm brushing away fall-out.  I would of preferred a foundation brush in this set!
3. Powder Brush- a lot smaller than expected, the add photo looks a lot bigger and fluffier but it applies powder well, an average brush.

1. Concealer Brush-  love it!  extremely soft, out of all the brushes this one has definitely the best quality!  Very easy to work with!
2. Medium Blending Brush- this is my favorite brush, love that it's tapered and it makes it really easy to blend out harsh lines! 
3. Medium Eyeshadow Brush- average, nothing to special about it.

1. Small Eyeshadow Brush- very useful, I love using this on my lower lashline!  Especially when a bright color is applied!
2. Lip Brush- nothing to special about it, I only used it once, not really on my everyday use list.
3. Angled Eyeliner Brush- another one of my favorite brushes, it's sturdy but not too stiff where it tugs on the eyelids, gives a nice precise line
4. Dual-Sided Brow Brush and Lash Comb- I use this everyday! really helps me tame and shape my unruly brows, I also use the lash comb when I see clumps on my lashes!

This brush set has flaps for each section to protect the brushes.

It's also great for travel! It's as big as my current wallet and I keep both in my purse everyday!

Overall I adore this brush set and I'm so happy that I purchased it at Sephora!  I didn't want to spend too much on my first brush set and this was in my price range!  I love the soft pink color, the quality of most of the brushes, and the cute travel friendly roll it came with!  I keep it in my purse at all times, and whenever I need a re-touch, I have all that I need!

★★★★★

This brush set could have been perfect if they had included a foundation brush :(  I would of traded the fan brush with the foundation brush in a heartbeat!  Now I'm on a hunt for a foundation and kabuki brush.  I might even invest on a set that I can keep at home and just use this one for travel :)

Question of the Day

What were you watching on TV?

-Little Big Soldier starring Jakie Chan, I wasn't paying to much attention to it, obviously, and it was subtitled >_<

I hope everyone has a fantabulous weekend! Hugs and Kisses! Vanessa Jhoy

Black and Gray

Funny Story:  So I went to Claire's expecting to buy a cheap pair of earrings, and what did I end up buying? A pair of boots and some hats for less than $20.  I know what your thinking... 

whaaaaat? o_0... I know right!

This hat is called the "Big City Chunky Cabbie Hat"  I bought one in black and the other in gray, hence and B&W artistic photos ^_^ On sale for $4!

The Gray Chunky Cabbie Hat is also $4, and it's honestly great quality!  Doesn't feel cheap, doesn't smell cheap, and most importantly it's soft and warm!

The boots: I can't find on their website it's probably sold out, but these were on sale for $8!
  Unfortunately they only had them in size 8 and I wear a 6½ to 7, but I bought them anyways lol.  
I only wore them once, they are super cute but super big! I'll probably give them away. 

I love the shape of the boots, the gray color, and the distressed look!  It gives out a very edgy tough girl feel :)
They also look exactly like Steve Madden's Turbow boots, if not better!  The Turbow's are retailing for $129.95

Question of the Day

What do you do when you can't sleep?

-I usually play "Snoopy's Fair" on my iPod touch.  Best game ever!
