Review: NVEY eco Organic Erase


Hey girls! Good morning to everyone on the East Coast and Central Time people. I will be reviewing a products by NVEY eco which is a brand of organic and eco friendly makeup products and tools. I will review the staple product in every girls’ makeup collection which is their Organic Erase (concealer). It retails for $30 for .11 oz. The shade I have is in Deep Beige, but they have 2 other shades which are neutral and medium. Again, the link to purchase it will be in the side bar. Keep reading to know why I like this product a lot!

Pro(s):
-When I apply it, it goes on smoothly and doesn’t need a lot of blending because it looks like my real skin.
-Very creamy, pigmented, and not cakey.
-Lasts for about 3-4 hours.

Con(s):
-A bit on the pricey side.
-Creases when applied under the eye.

Overall review: This concealer would be good for anyone eco friendly who doesn’t have major dark circles under their eye. Although it claims to cover all flaws, I found it hard to use this product under my eyes because it creased a lot even with proper priming and moisturizing. Maybe it’s because I have lines under my eyes. It’s very creamy so you can also apply it with your finger. I couldn’t get a swatch because you can barely see it on my skin. I liked it for dark blemishes from pimples, but for dark circles this product was a no-no. It has some brightening properties based on what I experienced because my mouth looked brighter when I applied it around my mouth.

Rating: 8/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you’re willing to give up $30, I suggest you go give this product a try!

Review: Senna Cosmetics Cream Lipstick


Hey girls! Today I shall review the Senna Cosmetics Cream Lipsticks in Soul and Last Tango. Soul is wearable nude that isn’t really too flesh colored. It’s more on the brown/beige side which would look good on warm tones. Last tango is a medium coral shade that would look good on warm tones. They both are the cream formula which don’t have shimmer and are semi-matte. They retail for $18 and you can find the link to their site in the side bar. Keep reading to see why I like these lipsticks a lot.

Pro(s):
-They have a wide shade range for every skin tone.
-They are super creamy and glide on very well.
-These don’t settle into the fine lines of the mouth and they are stored in a classic elegant tube.

Con(s):
-Because of their creaminess, they last only an hour or an hour and half at the most.

Overall review: I just love these lipsticks so much. I think they’re the best ones I’ve ever tried other than NYX Round Lipsticks. They are the exact same. The glide on really easily and just feel great on the lips. The only thing that bothers me is the wear time. They don’t smell like anything so that’s not an issue. They glide on better than even the MAC Creamsheen, but maybe MAC lipsticks are better because MAC lipsticks are $14 and Senna’s lipsticks are $19 for just .2 oz. more. Anyhow, I’ll leave the decision making up to you, but if you want to go for better formula, I think Senna’s Cream Lipsticks are worth every penny. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Rating: 9/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Definitely, they’re the best formula you will ever put on your lips.

Review: Udderly Smooth Udder Cream



Hey girls! Today I’m reviewing the Udderly Smooth Udder Cream. It contains 4 oz. of product and retails at drugstores ranging anywhere from $2-$4. It smells like nothing and looks white. It was originally formulated to use of dairy cows and then they formed a similar version for humans to use for smooth skin because this product smoothed the cows’ udders. Their creams can also be used on diabetics and their foot care is especially formulated for this use. The packaging is cool because it has the cow’s skin pattern on it. Keep reading to see what I think about this product!

Pro(s):
-Moisturizes dry and rough skin.
-The moisture lasts a really long time and it makes my skin silky smooth and soft.
-It’s good for all seasons because it’s not greasy like other moisturizers.
-Cool packaging and very affordable. Its available almost everywhere (no department stores but like Wal- Mart and Target).

Con(s):
-No SPF factor.

Overall review: I really like this product. The fact that it was formulated for a cow sort of bothers me a bit, but in the end when looking at the results, I am really satisfied and none of that matters anymore. Maybe some people who hate the smell of baby powder and baby lotion might hate the smell, but it’s pretty normal to me. Its thick when you take it out of the tube, but when blended it comes out more watery. This times Jason F. from Los Angeles, CA has requested this review so I hope you enjoyed it. This is good for boys and girls! I hope all of you enjoyed!

Is it VICKY approved? : Yup, I will getting myself another one soon!

Review: EOS Sphere Lip Balm


Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the EOS (Evolution of Smooth) Sphere Lip balm. This can range anywhere from $2-$2.99 at all drugstores in the U.S. as far as I know as well as Target and Wal-Mart. The one I have is in Summer Fruit. It smells a lot like fruit punch but not as sugar. It’s clear and looks completely matte on your lips. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-Good base for lip products.
-Makes my lips very smooth.
-Smells great.
-Nice compact packaging!
-It lasts for a pretty long time (3 hours).

Con(s):
-Weird waxy taste and feel.

Overall review: This is probably the most smooth lip balm I’ve ever used. It’s so smooth and not sticky or anything. For example, if the wind was blowing, my hair wouldn’t stick to my lips if they were open. It’s best as a primer for your lips before using a lip product. It lasts for about 3 hours before having to reapply. It’s so compact that I can take it anywhere with me. I hope all of you enjoyed this review and thanks to Dana for requesting it!

Rating: 9/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Yup! I will definitely getting myself another one if these bad boys!

Review: Squeezy Lip Smackers Skittles



Hey girls! I recently had made a haul post about buying this trio of Skittles lip smackers. Today I’m reviewing the Squeezy Lip Smackers Skittles in Mango Tangelo. I bought this trio for $5.76 and I think I saw it as a single for like $2.99, but whatever the price is, I love this product and keep reading to see why!

Pro(s):
-Compact and good for on the go.
-Nice and cute packaging.
-Very glossy and lightweight feel on the lips.
-Very smooth and moisturizing.
-Clear!
Con(s):
-A bit on the sticky side.

Overall review: I just really like this product. It smells a lot like mangoes and tastes sweet like Skittles too. This is by far the best lip gloss I’ve ever tried. Its light weight and glossy at the same time. What better can you ask for? It’s actually a fairly good investment and good to spice up your matte lipsticks. I now it’s a bit juvenile, but what can I do, I just love lip smackers. Enjoy the review and thanks to Carrie G. for requesting the review!

Review: Senna Cosmetics Silky Face Primer



Hey girls! Today I’m reviewing the Senna Cosmetics Silky Face Primer. It retails from various boutiques and sennacosmetics.com for $38. It a pink/blue tinted primer to fill in lines/pores/wrinkles and creates a smooth base to apply foundation and other face products. Keep reading to hear what my thoughts are on this product.

Pro(s):
-Smells good.
-Very moisturizing.
-The pink tint in the product brightens my face in the morning.
-It helps my makeup glide on like butter and blend easier.
-Smoothes out your face.
-Makes you makeup last over 6 hours.

Con(s):
-Too many shimmers that get on my nerves.

Overall review: Not including the glitter ball situation (that happened after using the primer on its own by accident), I really like this product because it’s very silky but oily too. It leaves my skin dewy, but can be transformed into matte. The thing I was talking about of the glitter ball was that I used some of it on its own because I was going outside and I looked like a disco ball, but after you put foundation on top of it, the shimmers tend to be toned down. I just love this product and I’ve already ordered another one. It’s actually one of their bestselling items. I hope you enjoyed this review and whoever requested this review: here it is!

Rating: 9/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I want to purchase another one soon.

Review: Evolution of Smooth (EOS) Lipbalm Stick



Hey girls! Once again I come to you with a review. I’m reviewing a lip balm and this one is by a company called Evolution of Smooth (EOS) in Vanilla and these lip balms have started popping up at recently many drugstores like Rite Aid and Duane Reade. I’ve seen them at many places for $2.99-$3.99, but they could always be for more or less. Keep reading for more information!

Pros:
-Makes my lips very smooth.
-You get a lot of product for what you pay for.
-Long lasting moisture.
-Good lip balm to prime your lips before applying lipstick/lip gloss.
-Its organic (paraben free/petrolatum free).

Con(s):
-Absorbs into lips very fast so you have to keep on reapplying.

Overall review: I’d have to say that this is one of the lip balms that I use on a daily basis. The packaging is completely simple and neutral, but the product inside it wows me. It is just very smooth. The scent I have it in is vanilla and its smells like it but on top of that it also faintly tastes like it. I like the fact that it is paraben free and also petrolatum free because petrolatum is the product in Chap Stick and other lip balms that makes you lips moisturized artificially but after the product has worn away, your lips are left feeling tremendously dry. That’s what I like about this product. I hope you enjoyed this review!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Of course; as soon as I finish this one I’ll find an excuse to buy another one.
