When seeking a makeup artist for your special occasions here are 5 tips I have to help guide you in your decision making.

Orofluido Asia: The Zen Beauty Kit Review

Until now I had no knowledge of the Orofluido brand, but being the product junkie that I am, I had to take the opportunity to try out their new Orofluido Asia Ritual Beauty Kit. My natural hair is the definition of dry and dull especially during the winter months so I thought I would give it a try in hopes that I would see a difference. I've been using the full kit for a couple of weeks.

NYX HD Photogenic Primer Review

 
I've missed doing beauty posts and reviews, so I thought today would be the perfect day to post a review on the NYX HD Photogenic Primer.  I snagged it when I went to the NYX store opening for their first free standing store in Canada.  I've been using it for a month and here are my thoughts on the product.

Smile Brilliant Review

Sincerely Miss J was contacted by a company called Smile Brilliant.com to do an honest review for their professional teeth whitening product, which includes a  tray creation kit and whitening kit. I was excited when I was asked by Jackline if I was interested in doing the review. As an avid coffee drinker, I was always looking for safe and affordable ways to whiten my teeth. I initially started using the system more than 2 months ago inconsistently, and today my teeth feel fine, and I don't have any additional teeth sensitivity using the kit.

I have wanted to do this post for so long and it's very much overdue. Beauty has been neglected on this blog because for me when it comes to beauty and reviews I want to hold my readers down with as much honest and detailed information as I can. With all the past "issues" I have not been able to focus on that part which is a section I really love until now.

Consonant Skin Care: All Natural Foaming Face Wash review

   My skin is not considered sensitive but I have experienced a few occasions when my skin was irritated or I had an allergic reaction to products that I was using.  Therefore, I don't often experiment too much with products that go on my face.

Revlon Colorstay Makeup

Summer is here and with a new season marks a slight change in one's beauty routine. Today on the blog I'm talking beauty with Revlon ColorStay makeup. 

Last month I had the opportunity to preview some new products being introduced to the Revlon ColorStay makeup collection. I had an opportunity to try everything from foundations to eye, nail and lip products. However, today I wanted to share and highlight two of my favorite products; Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain, and Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy nail polish. The collection is currently being sold in many drugstores in both the US and in Canada and I highly encourage you all to head to your local drugstore and try them out.

Revlon ColorStay  Moisture Stain

At all times I must always have some kind of  lip color on my lips or else I feel completely naked. However, sometimes I like to deviant from bright, matte, and pigmented lipsticks to something light and glossy. 
Revlon ColorStay has introduced a lip stain that is infused with Vitamin E and aloe to moisturize the lips without stickiness. The lip stain is available in 12 shades and are packaged in a light sleek rectangular tube.

What I like about the product:

1.      It’s pigmented enough to give some color to the lips

2.      It' s indeed moisturizing and leaves a beautiful glossy finish  without major stickiness even after an hour of wear

3.      I love the thickness of the application brush which makes applying the stain easy to apply

4.      I love the texture of this product, it has a slippery feel oppose to a thick sticky feel on my lips
5. Fair price point at $12.95 ( Canadian)

 Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Nail Polish

Available now in stores both in Canada and the US are Revlon ColorStay gel envy nail polishes. The collection comes in 30 vibrant shades and one top coat. It’s a two step system that consists of  a ColorStay gel envy nail color/base  and secondly a top coat.

Top to bottom: 640 Jokers Wild, 440 Wild Card, 410 Up the Ante

What I like about the product:

1.      I like the two step system (color/base coat & top coat) oppose to the three step system (base coat, color & top coat) which was very time consuming to apply

2.      The colors are very vibrant and depending on the color you use, you may only need one coat before applying the top coat

3.      The price is reasonable at $7.95 (Canadian)

4.     Provides a gel like finish at home 

I hope you enjoyed my mini review, and if you want to see more Revlon ColorStay products or need more information please go to  http://www.revlon.ca

Until Next Time,

Sincerely Miss J
