NATURACTOR PRESSED POWDER

I have to say, I'm quite the meticulous shopper when it comes to makeup. An array of choice especially from pressed powder department. I lurk around the net and I saw a product that  immediately caught  attention, a pressed powder that goes by the name NATURACTOR PRESSED POWDER as I read from their website I saw that this is under Kosmeko a very well known cosmetic company from japan. I tried their other make up products before like foundations and they are quite the catch!  I just want a taste of it, and see how great it is, so without second thoughts I decided to purchase the product online and VoilĂ ! I fell head over heels with the product! That is why I decided to do a make a review about this pressed powder! To share you all beautiful people out there my makeup assemblage.

A complete Saga of me and this powder


I've been using this face powder for over a month now and would like to let you know what I think. I've been sticking with this product for a while now simply because it is the right companion for my skin desire next thing I recognize I got totally fanatical with this product  because the feeling you get when it is applied was fantastic, A “Charming” result rather than the heavy cakey mash look you get from other powders. You know how some powders can have a slobbish look on the skin? This product doesn’t feel like that. It feels a little bit natural and relax. I really love the overall product  that is the obvious reason why I did this review upon this powder Packaging is elegant  it is also a travel friendly companion.For anyone wanting to have a powder with amazing coverage ,ease of application on the face, and most importantly the quality result definitely give the Nauractor pressed powder a try!  It is very affordable  at $14.95. They do come in a variety of shades and after all the quality is what you are paying for!  (Just a friendly reminder to you all lovely ladies!)

Jillian Dempsey for Avon Professional Eye Duo

This isn't such a great week for Avon & Me. First my hopes for the Lotus Shield were dashed, and now I'm disappointed by another product that sounded so good on paper and looked great in the tube.

Jillian Dempsey for Avon Professional Eye Duo is a GREAT idea -- it combines a shimmery liquid shadow on one end with a coordinating liquid liner on the other. I tried it in White with Jet Black eyeliner.

But, for starters, the "white" liquid shadow isn't white; it's a pinkish champagne with white shimmer -- which is definitely better than straight-up white shadow, but then why not just call it Champagne?

The shadow applies easily with a sponge doefoot applicator and dries quickly; however, it's not very pigmented and it's REALLY pale--if you have a darker skin tone you might want to go with one of the other three shades. I do like the iridescent quality of it, though, and I may reach for it in the future as a highlighter.

The other end, the black liquid liner, was what really disappointed me. The formula is thin and a little watery, so once the first stroke starts to drag out, the liner loses its intensity and opacity. You might need to go in for another dip to finish the job. Additionally, the brush is a little too soft. With liquid liners, a good brush is CRITICAL. If you're new to the medium, this isn't a great one to start with; the soft brush makes it too easy to make the line too thick or lose control of it. I'm a pretty experienced user of liquid liners and I was able to get a nice even line with this, but it's just not the best of the bunch. It also took upwards of 20 seconds to dry fully.

Overall, it was okay, but I'd never buy it and can't really recommend it. Another one I wanted to love but just couldn't. Bummer!

Self-Tanner Review Series: Victoria's Secret Beach Sexy Gradual Tan Moisturizer SPF15

I LOVE a tanner with some SPF. You can slather it on in the morning and go about your day knowing that not only are you protected from the sun, but you'll be tan by dinnertime!

Victoria's Secret Beach Sexy Daily Glow Gradual Tan Moisturizer SPF15 is the reincarnation of VS's last gradual tanner, Bare Bronze Daily Glow. That one was a favorite of mine for both scent and effectiveness, so I was curious to try the new version and see if anything had changed.

Well, we know there's now SPF 15 in it -- that's a plus. And the scent is the same (praise the beauty gods!). I love the smell of this tanner; it's beachy, tropical and coconutty, and it masks most of the DHA smell without interfering with it and creating some hellish, putrid hybrid.

The one thing that disappoints me is that the potency has changed. It's now absolutely identical to Bath & Body Works Glow & Steady in both texture and potency. This is not necessarily a bad thing on its own; Glow & Steady is one of my favorite gradual self tanners. The problem is that the original Bare Bronze came in two concentrations, and the Medium/Deep was nearly as powerful as a full strength tanner. This new Beach Sexy gets you tan, but not as quickly as the old one (it comes in only one concentration).

Overall, though, a great pick! If you like Glow & Steady but not the scent, try this one instead. Or if you're just looking for a great gradual self tanner that smells fabulous and protects you from the sun's rays, go for it!
