GARNIER FRUCTIS: HYDRA RECHARGE DRY HAIR

So when Garnier came out with a new line of hair care dedicated dedicated solely to recharge your hair of moisture I was more than intrigued. So far this line comes with four different products. The line offers a shampoo,conditioner, one minute hair mask and a leave in conditioner.
After the first use I could tell that this was dealing with a hydrating line that made a difference right away. After washing my hair I could feel the difference, not only did my hair feel smooth and very soft to the touch, but I did not feel the need to apply any other product to my hair like the ones I regularly use to tame my frizz.
So the question now is, does it have long lasting results?

Revlon Photo Ready BB Cream

By now we have all heard about the latest craze in make-up BB Creams. Revlon finally released their version and here is what I think about it. 


Claims made by Revlon:
- HYDRATES like moisturizer
- SMOOTHS like primer
- COVERS like foundation
- BLURS FLAWS like concealer
- PROTECTS with SPF 30 like sunscreen

Now right away I can tell you that it has a good SPF. My closest match is the shade Light Medium, but as with most drugstore products it leans slightly pink but it is not too noticeable. 


As previously stated I have dry skin and products tend to look dry and patchy on my skin so when i heard this was supposed to be hydrating I was pleased. Like most BB creams in the US this claim to have many different benefits and I must say that I was pleased with the results. It cover my imperfections with out looking fake or heavy on my skin. I don't always wear foundation because I feel like their too heavy on my skin and I like to look natural. This product and other like it are the perfect in between because they cover well but allow my skin to peek through for a more natural look.  

This product has a thicker consistency than most other US BB Creams, so it is best to apply it with your fingers.

Here are my results:
BEFORE 

AFTER
I did not set this foundation with powder and it lasted very well but my T-zone was a bit shiny after a few hours, I would recommend just setting that area with power and your under eyes if you used concealer there. This product it not a good product to use in multiple layers because it can start to look uneven and create a caked on look. 

If you have dry skin this is a great product because it does not dry your skin or look patchy.If you have oily skin I would stay away because after a few hours you will look like an oil spill even if you set it with powder.Over all I really enjoy this product, I use it quite frequently, and would recommend it for people with dry skin  that like light weight products with a light to medium coverage. 

So does it live up to its claims:
- HYDRATES like moisturizer- YES 
- SMOOTHS like primer- It smooths your skin but I would recommend using a primer.
- COVERS like foundation- Like a light to medium coverage foundation.
- BLURS FLAWS like concealer- If you have dark marks you will need concealer. 
- PROTECTS with SPF 30 like sunscreen-YES 


Scent:None 
Size: 1.0 fl. oz.
Longevity: 5-7 hrs.
Texture:Smooth and Thick 
Finish:Dewy  
Price: $10.99 @ CVS
Availability: Drugstores

Enjoy.

Maybelline Age Rewind: The Lifter Foundation

This foundation contains the primer inside. The actual foundation claims to be lifting, which according to the Maybelline website it firms and covers instantly. This foundation comes in twelve shades, most of the shades lean more pink base, and this is very common with drugstore foundations in general.This foundation does not claim to be long lasting or have oil control,nor be hydrating to the skin.It does not have many claims other than the lifting power.

Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids Lipsticks


Spring is not here yet, but brands are already releasing  the new spring line products for 2013. As soon as I found out about the Vivids collection from Maybelline, I kept a look out for their display and was able to find them at my local Walmart. From what I was able to see there were ten shades available, I picked up six of them.

Fergie Center Stage Mini Haul


I finally found the Fergie Center Stage Collection and picked up some things.Here are some pictures and and my thought on what caught my attention. 



WnW Megalast Liquid Lip Color

Since the only place that I can find the latest Wn'W products is my local Walgreen's, I headed there to try to find the latest Fergie Collection and I also found the newest addition to their regular Megalast  line of lip products, The Megalast Liquid Lip Color. I decided to pick up some up. They offered a good range of color but I decide to go with the cream finish color because I am not really fond of  shimmer in my lip colors.
