iHerb, Ebay & Walmart Haul

Hey Boos,

  I wanted to share with some items I pick up at iHerbs, EBay, and Wal-mart stores. Since fall is shorty heading our way I wanted to pick up a few fall shades. Thanks to the bestie for these lovely mates. I also need to replace some brushes that gotten lost. So I purchase another Shany Cosmetics Pro Vegan Brush Set, I only needed to replace 4 brushes and since you can not purchased separately (Trust me, I tried), I ended up purchasing another set. So now I have 2 sets, which is always a plus (the more the merrier) & I wanted to purchase two additional brushes on Real Techniques on iHerbs. (Lip Brush & Shading Brush) These were a needed to complete my perfect brush set ;) so happy for the buy. Look forward on a review on each of these products in the future. If you have any questions please comment below.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Pressed Powder Review (Cruelty Free Company)

Hello Boo, Back with another review on Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Pressed Powder I picked this up at Walgreens, it only came in the refill package, which i didn't mind since it fits so well in my Z Palette. Hope you enjoy this review, if you have any questions feel free to comment below.

What it looks like in the packaging with refill.

I Use My Buffing Brush from Real Techniques to powder this on my face.

 My Review:

Pros: Cruelty Free, Organic, Light weight

Cons: Can be a little too powder at times.

 I have pale skin and this blends well with my skin and gives me a nice, finished look. I

The oil control was pretty good, my face would still look fairly matte at the end of the day (only blotting once). The coverage is fairly minimal, but I don't mind that since my skin has cleared up a lot and I don't need much coverage anymore.

You have to watch out on how much you blot on your face because this powder will become cakey if you do apply too much. I used this power with BB creams, and it really helps finish off my looks. I do compare this powder to Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, because of the light weight texture of the product if you do use only on layer. 

This powder does have some flaws, but its a great back up powder to have on your stash. its also cruelty free.

Shade Light: Texture is powdery, and goes on very smooth, reminds me of Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

Lush Cosmetics: Mask of Magnaminty Face & Back Mask Review. (Cruelty Free Company)

So Excited to tell you boos about this awesome face mask a friend had gifted to me. its the Lush Cosmetics: Mask of Magnaminty Face & Back Mask, I did a little research on the company and found that they are cruelty free, handmade, and are big supporters of fighting animal testing. All of there products are handmade, and all natural. 

 

Mask of Magnaminty isn’t technically a daily ‘facial wash’; it’s actually a deep cleansing face and back mask. China clay and fresh peppermint reach deep down to pull the debris from your pores, giving you that delightful tingly-clean sensation. We add loads of aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe. Our inventors created Mask of Magnaminty to be the ‘ultimate face mask’, intense but not harsh or abrasive on the skin. We recommend using Mask of Magnaminty weekly to keep the skin in good condition.

Features:

• No need to refrigerate: Mask of Magnaminty contains an effective blend of deep cleansing oils instead of perishable ingredients.
• Suitable to most skin types: Except for those sensitive to peppermint.
• Deep cleansing minty mask: We blend bentonite gel into our recipe to clean the pores deeply and tighten at the same time.

 

 My Review:

This mask is amazing, it was very relaxing, and smooth tingly feeling, it really feels like my skin is waking up, putting mask on was easy, taking off the mask was simple, and the feeling afterwards is a cool sensation, loved it. Mask didnt dry out my skin, like most masks out there, and love the fact it doesnt need to be refrigerated. 

I give this product a 10!
