Review: Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Mine Again Eau De Parfum Spray

Hi girls! So out of the Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Fragrance Trilogy, I left the best for last which is Mine Again. It’s the boldest one and I thought some of you might have fun with it. Like all of the other fragrances in the lollipop bling collection, this one also retails for $35 for an ounce of perfume. They can be found on Elizabeth Arden's website (link in the side bar). They are currently only sold at Macy’s Stores, but will be available before Valentine’s Day in drugstores. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!


Scent Description: When you first spray it, you immediately smell blood orange. After the dry down, you smell blood orange, chocolate with raspberries, and some hints of vanilla. Towards the end when the fragrances is almost faded away, it smells like musky vanilla.


Packaging: This fragrance is housed in a red and blue box with holographic images of lollipops and candy. The bottle itself is a glass bottle tinted red with a plastic butterfly top.

Wear time: This wore for 8 hours on me before it was completely worn away.

Overall review: I think that out of the entire Mariah Carey, this one is my least favorite. I still love it to death and if I was stuck on an island, I would want all three with me, but this one is more for a night out. If you’re able to pull off such bold fragrances during the day, then this one would be a favorite of yours. It’s not day appropriate; it is better for a night out or to go clubbing with your hubby. I personally wore this to my cousin’s house one day and my uncle asked “Who is going to the club here?”. I totally cracked up, but then I realized that it’s more of a night scent. Thanks to Leila for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!

Recommendation: If you love bold fragrances then this one’s for you!

Motives Cosmetics Nail Candy Nail Enamel Part 1: Product Pictures and Swatches

Hey girls! Today I will be sharing product pictures and swatches of Motives Cosmetics Nail Enamel. They have about a dozen colors and some of them are new and recently added. The ones shown here aren’t all new. Only Laguna Beach and Tickle Me Pink are new for the summer, but I Believe in UFO’s is an original shade. The shades I have here are the top 3 nail enamel colors. Here are the shade descriptions:


-Tickle Me Pink: This is a peachy light baby pink glitter shade which has silver glitter. It’s really sheer so you probably will need more than 3 coats, but here I used 3 coats.
-Laguna Beach: This is a frosty teal blue color with teal green duo chrome. It took me 3 coats to get it this opaque.
-I Believe in UFO’s: This is a dark hot pink frost shade. For the color to be opaque you only need 2 coats and that’s how many I used.

Enjoy the swatches and product pictures and review coming soon!

Review: NEW NYX Studio Liquid Liner

Hey girls! Today I will be reviewing a new product by NYX Cosmetics and it’s called the NYX Studio Liquid Eyeliner. It’s a new product for the summer and released in July. It’s already making appearances at e-tailers such as http://CherryCulture.com and http://NYXCosmetics.com where they retail for $4.50 a piece. These liquid liners were created for dramatic and intense color. There are currently12 shades available from Extreme Black to Extreme Pink. The shades shown in the pictures are Extreme Coffee, Extreme Blue, and Extreme Purple. Let’s see if they live up to what they claim!

Pro(s):
-Very pigmented and intense color.
-Fine brush applicator so it’s easy to make thin or thick lines.
-They have a huge range of shades available (have you ever heard any company have PINK eye liner).
-I got about 6-7 hours of wear with these.

Con(s):
-It’s easily rubbed off when wet thus it’s not sweat proof.

Overall review: I really like these. They also have a pink liquid liner which is amazing. They wear great and I like their fine brush tip applicator. I used this on the bride when I went to a wedding this weekend and she never needed only one touchup. The thing that was a downfall was that they aren’t waterproof. When I went to shower, I forgot these were on my eyelids and lower lash line and I rubbed my eyes. I got scared because I saw blue rubbery pieces coming off of my face and when I looked in the mirror, the liquid liner was PEELING off. Well, other than that, they’re a great bang for your buck and I suggest them to everybody. The rating just goes down because of the peeling. Thanks to Arianna for requesting and I hope all of you enjoyed!

Rating: 9/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Why not? If you’re a girl on a budget, these are amazing for their prize!

Review: NEW Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20

Hey girls! Today I’m about to introduce to you the NEW Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20. This product will not launch until August, but I got an early preview for you. These Miracle Skin Transformers will retail for $48 for 50mL. They will have a clear shade, light, medium, and tan which will be for dark skin tones. The clear shade can be used as a primer. It claims to hydrate the skin, enhance the tone and protect with the UVA/UVB SPF 20. Before their launch, all throughout July, they are offering a free 5g sample tube of their product so go and grab one before the product launches, but they only have the shades medium and tan available. The link to their site will be in the side bar. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-Doesn’t have a scent and keep the skin hydrated feeling.
-Feels very velvety in texture which causes it to glide on easily and blend easily.
-Provides a matte finish with some sheen, but nothing oily looking.
-The coverage is buildable without looking cakey and since it has natural silicones in it, it won’t break you out and it will fill in fine lines.
-It's partly waterproof and has SPF 20.

Con(s):
-Doesn’t provide full coverage, but it isn’t meant to. Your coverage will be light to medium.

Overall review: I really like this product since it works great as an everyday foundation. It’s light and has buildable coverage so you can use it every day to prime your face. I found that it’s very sheer and will even your skin tone out so if you have a lot of blemishes, you will need extra coverage, but for priming its good. For me, I really don’t have many blemishes, just dark circles so I just use and under eye concealer and I’m good to go in the morning. This is sort of waterproof because I was sweating a lot when I went to an amusement park, but it didn’t melt off of my face. It's a lot like an American Blemish Balm Cream. I hope all of you enjoyed the review and don’t forget to visit their site to get a free sample. Enjoy!
