It Cosmetics | Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer (Review)

Image
 Product Summary: Developed with plastic surgeons, this award-winning anti-aging concealer is highly pigmented, never creases or cracks, and truly covers everything! It effectively conceals the look of skin imperfections including dark circles, bags, redness, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries, age spots and discoloration. Costs $36. I have two shades, I have light and light fair.  I ended up receiving this item in a Ipsy glam bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 20$ Canadian. Click  here to check them out. ***Cruelty free ❤*** With its claim of covering everything and never creasing definitely intrigued me. Covering my under eyes has been a constant battle over the past several years. I tried several different ways of applying the concealer; with my fingers, concealer brush and a beauty sponge. With a concealer brush and fingers a little goes a long way. Especially, with how thick it is, you can g...

Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #1) By: Laurell K. Hamilton (Book Review)

Image
 (This review will contain spoilers) Summary: Anita Blake is small, dark, and dangerous. Her turf is the city of St. Louis. Her job: re-animating the dead and killing the undead who take things too far. But when the city’s most powerful vampire asks her to solve a series of vicious slayings, Anita must confront her greatest fear—her undeniable attraction to master vampire Jean-Claude, one of the creatures she is sworn to destroy... This book is such a fantastic intro to Anita Blake's world. It is so well written and really captivated my attention. I just couldn't put it down. I kept making time in my day to have a chance to read it because it's so damn good. It's a lot different in comparison to other vampire novels. Everyone else loves to romanticize vampires and make them seem a lot nicer than you would think vampires are. A lot of authors like to humanize vampires and the protagonist seems to always need their help. But not Laurell K. Hamilton! From the get go it...

Strange Candy (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #0.5) By: Laurell K. Hamilton (Book Review)

Image
(This review will contain spoilers) Summary: From a woman who marries into a family of volatile wizards to a couple fleeing a gang of love-hungry cupids, from a girl who seeks sanctuary in the form of a graceful goose to the disgruntled superhero Captain Housework, readers will revel in the many twists and turns of fortune in these fantastical fairy tales and lush parables. Even hardened vampire hunter and zombie animator Anita Blake gets blindsided by the disturbing motives of her clients in the new "Those Who Seek Forgiveness" and in "The Girl Who Was Infatuated with Death." I first read a book from Hamilton during my teenage years and got hooked  pretty quickly. It didn't take long before I bought all the books from her Meredith Gentry and Anita Blake series. Hamilton is extremely talented in how she is able to set a scene and draw her audience into the story. My preference is when she does non-erotic stories just because when she focuses too much on the sex ...

This formula features ultra-fine light reflecting pearls that melt into your skin for polished, natural-looking radiance.

Costs $50.  ***Cruelty-free ❤*** I am a huge lover of highlighters whether liquid or powder highlighter. I simply love them all! So of course I would fall in love with these highlighters. However, I'm not a big fan of the price. I was able to snag deluxe samples for around $25. But $40-50 for a single highlighter is so obscene. Not sure if that plays a part to ...
