Choosing the Right Primer for you
While there are many primers out there I decided to see if more expensive means better results.
For this experiment I chose Elf facial and eye primers vs. Bare Minerals eye and face. While both brands are great alternatives to some of the more pricier brands I found that price isn't everything. While I have used the bare minerals primers for years once I found Elf's mineral infused face primer and the eyelid primer I was hooked. The products are the same as the bare minerals however alot cheaper, and in my personal opinion even better. When comparing the face primers the elf primer is more sheer there for you need less of the product, which is always a plus when trying to save money. Another thing that I love about ELF is that you can usually get more product for the price you pay for one bare minerals products. Since I don't wear eyeshadow everyday when I do I tend to reach for the ELF eyelid primer again the product is very sheer, and smells wonderful. Overall I love ELF cosmetics, and the price even better. What's not to love?
ELF Eyes Lips Face Studio Line
For many of you if you never tried ELF then you haven't tried the most affordable makeup line on the market. ELF products usually will range anywhere from 1 dollar to 6 depending on what you get and what you are looking for. Elf also has a huge range of pallets for your eyes as well as cases that have all of your facial needs ranging in a huge multitude of colors. (which one is sure to find exactly what they are looking for). Rather your a free lance makeup artist of a lover of makeup. ELF's studio line is something to rave about.
Products I have;
Face primer
Eye shadow palettes (Endless eye mini)
Studio brush set
Lip glosses

Wen Fig hair oil and Replenishing Mist
Hey guys so after a month or more of reviewing the Wen Fig Hair oil by Chaz Dean I have to say that I am hooked. The smell is wonderful and I have noticed that my hair appears to be a lot healthier than before. Again Mr. Dean you have created a wonderful product, however I can not say the same for the replenishing mist. I don't know maybe I missed something but the mist is a fail with me. I really don't have too much to say on the product other than it can be used to help refresh your make up. Overall very happy with the Fig Hair oil and I do plan on repurchasing really soon. If anyone out there has dry brittle color treated hair I ask that you give the hair oil a try. You will be completely amazed.
Meaningful Beauty
Well guys I told you I would give you a review of Meaningful Beauty and here it is. Like most of you know when you do research on the product you tend to get a lot of fake sites as well as videos of people claiming to use the product, but only in the end do you realize that it’s the same people from the info commercial. With this being said I decided to try the product for myself and give you guys my honest opinion.
First of all let me start by saying that if you plan on trying this product for yourself I would order the product from QVC. The reason behind this is they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, and they send you the exactly what you ordered.
Upon opening the package you notice that you have 5 bottles in the kit. Cleanse, Glowing Serum, Protect, Eyes, and Restore.
Cleanse- from what I can tell the product is very silky and has a clean fresh sent. This product can be applied to a dry face which I like because it’s perfect for on the go moms. (Just use wet ones or wet clothes to remove the product and you’re done with cleaning your face)
Glowing Serum- This is probably my favorite product out of the kit because we all want to glow. While the smell may be a little over powering for some I found that it was perfect for me and I'm someone whom can stand the smell of cantaloupe. This product is wonderful for me because it can be used a pick me up from your long day. My advice is purchase the larger bottle for home and keep the travel size bottle in your purse for a quick touch up if needed.
Protect- Now this particular product really reminded me of Mary Kay moisturizers that I use to sell the product is thick and has a little smell to it which is more than likely from the SPF 20 which in this case is great for my skin.( I was thinking that the product would be too thick clogging my pores, but it didn’t.)
Eyes- while this product claims to get rid of crow’s feet and wrinkles I have to be honest and say I sure didn’t see any improvement and the reason why is probably because after one use my skin underneath my eye turned dark and flakey. Therefore I didn’t bother trying it again because I felt that the damage had all ready been done and I don’t believe in causing more if it uncalled for. Overall on this product I would have to agree with all the rest of the angry customers. (Don’t use the Eye Cream!!!
Restore-While the Protect is used for the day, Restore is used as your night time treatment. Again very much like the Mary Kay in smell and consistency. I really haven’t noticed any benefit to this product as of yet, but I can see how using the cream would help you keep your face hydrated throughout the night.
Overall I really like Meaningful Beauty; however I still feel that it’s something better out there for the price. While the product does reduce pores and seems to work well on my sensitive face, to get the regular size bottles of Meaningful Beauty you are more than likely looking at well over a hundred dollars including shipping. While this may be a wonderful product for those of you that can afford the price, for the shop-savvy-saver I can’t see spending that much
