Urban Decay B6 Complexion Prep Spray

Hello lovelies!!

Welcome back, I hope you had a wonderful week. Today I am going to be talking about a product that has been out forever but I recently rediscovered my love for it. The Urban Decay B6 Complexion Prep Spray has been sitting on my vanity for five-ever, but I recently started using it not only before my foundation but on my beauty blender type sponge to moisten it before buffing out any streaks. It makes this super easy to do without removing half of my foundation trying to achieve a flawless finish. The spray is super refreshing and makes my skin feel so much better. I generally dampen my entire face with the spray, let it dry most of the way then start my foundation routine. If parts of my face seem to dry, I just spray a little more. 

Just like all the previous Urban Decay skin sprays this product was designed and manufactured in conjunction with the brand Skindinavia. They are one of the first companies to really capitalize on high quality facial and makeup setting sprays. Their basic makeup setting spray is amazing and you can count on the same amazing performance and quality in all of their collaborations with Urban Decay. 

B6 in color

As Per Urban Decay: 
Give your skin a quick hit of vitamins and calm a multitude of sins. Stabilized vitamin B6 absorbs oil, minimizes pores and reduces redness. Give your skin a quick hit of vitamins and calm a multitude of sins. Stabilized vitamin B6 absorbs oil, minimizes pores and reduces redness. 

It’s one of those products you didn’t even know you needed. (But once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it!) 

This scientifically advanced formula contains the first patented, stabilized form of topical vitamin B6, which absorbs oil, minimizes pores and reduces redness. Spritz it on any time of day to hydrate, prep and soften your skin with vitamins and antioxidants. Use it in the morning to prep and “wake up” your skin, during the day to refresh your skin (without messing up your makeup), or at night before your treatment. 
Vitamin B6 helps normalize overactive cell-signaling proteins (called cytokines) to help control oil production, vitamin E provides antioxidants, and willow bark (rich in natural salicylic acid) aids cell turnover. 

This energizing formula feels amazing and is great for ALL ages and skin types. (Trust us, even your boyfriend will want to steal it!) And the more you use it, the better the results. In a clinical study, after 8 weeks of use: 
• Over 81% of participants had a measurable reduction in oil and surface shine.
• Over 78% had more radiant skin with less redness and fewer blemishes.
• A majority of participants had a measurable improvement in pore size.
• Over 72% had a measurable improvement in their skin’s overall appearance.

While I don't know who did their clinical trials, I do agree with all of their claims... Except maybe the about fewer blemishes. My blemishes are never affected by anything beyond acne treatments and regular cleansing, while it would be awesome if this product did live up to this claim I personally did not see these results. 
All opinions expressed are my own, I have no affiliation with this company as of now and I purchased this product with my own money. I am not being paid to say nice things, and if I am compensated in any way it will be noted. All photos were taken from the brands official website unless otherwise noted.

All in all, if you are looking for an easy to use priming spray type product Urban Decay B6 is quite wonderful. My only words of caution would be that due to the microfine mist this spray produces, don't accidentally inhale it! 


Until Next Time,


Glitterpukeee!!!

Knot Genie, the brush I didn't buy for me

Hello Lovelies! Hope these past few days were wonderful!

I would like to introduce a product that I am so totally late on reviewing it is a little bit embarrassing. The Knot Genie as well as its competitor the Tangle Teaser came out a few years back and I just never got around to picking one up. I have medium weight, thick slightly wavy hair and before I started dying my hair more I never really thought about what I was putting on my hair. My hair rarely tangled if at all and anything more than some hand combing was for the luxury of it. But, as I have tortured my hair over the past few years I have found that what I brush my hair with matters more and more. 
Until Next Time,
Glitterpukee!!!!


I purchased the original Knot Genie about a year ago as a gift for my little sister. She has the curliest hair in the world and probably close to being the thickest, when we dyed her hair black it took four ((4)) boxes of hair dye to cover from root to tip!! Well, at some point she became disenchanted with the Knot Genie and I picked up, I have been loving it ever since. The bristles gently massage my scalp, and they rarely have any issues with the tangles in my hair. I love how cute it is in my beauty area , I own the original purple color so its perfect! The ease of use has me picking it up again and again. The bristles do bend a little if stored improperly so keep that in mind. They retail for $19.99 on their website but it is possible to find them discounted on amazon and other e-tailers. I do NOT endorse purchasing knockoffs. 
Knot Genie - KnotGenie
 - 11 As per the Knot Genie site: 
Magically gets rid of knots. Not to mention complaining.
The Knot Genie™ Detangling Brush was created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted.  
MORE DETAILS
To wrap things up, I cannot say enough how much I enjoy using this brush. Sometimes if I am really stressed I will brush my hair with it just for the gentle scalp massage to help dissipate some of the tension. I would definitely recommend this brush to anyone with unruly hair or just wants a cute brush that won't torture their already chemically treated, and in some cases mistreated, hair. Check Knot Genie out and let me know what you think of their products if you have tried them before below in the comments. 

Until Next Time,
Glitterpukeee!!!

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

    Welcome Back Lovelies!!!       Pretending like it hasn't been a million years since my last post, lets jump right in.Have you heard of Laneige?? It is a Korean Company that is now available at Target as of about six months ago. They have amazing product quality that we have all come to know and love from K-Beauty, with precious packaging and lightly scented products.I recently fell in love with the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. What in the world is a water sleeping mask? Well, it is a lightweight gel type nighttime moisturizer that creates a film of sorts to protect your skin from becoming dehydrated over night as well as replenish some of the moisture lost throughout your day and cleansing routine. It has also been blessed with something called Sleepscent, which is designed to ease your nightly journey to REM.The brand is also a subset of AmorePacific, a high end brand with amazing reviews.

The product retails for about $25 at Target.com, it may be available for other prices at other retailers! Be careful to purchase the actual item and not a knockoff, we don't know what they put in the knockoffs.  
Water Sleeping Mask 제품사진(product-water-sleeping-mask-01)


As per their site: 

Moisturizes and revitalizes skin as if you have had a good night’s sleep for 8 hours!
You probably didn’t have enough sleep due to your hectic schedule.
Even if you didn’t sleep well last night, your skin need not reflect that.
Make your skin appear refreshed and revitalized~
Four advantages of Water Sleeping Mask!
Is your skin getting the rest it deserves? The secret to well-rested skin lies in night skincare.
1. Skin purifying effect: SLEEP-TOX™ technology purifies skin during sleep, keeping it in optimum condition
SLEEP-TOX™ technology’s purifying effects help to rejuvenate and normalize skin that is often fatigued and sensitized by stress during the day. This helps the skin to achieve a well-rested appearance the next morning.
2. Skin moisturizing: MOISTURE WRAP™ helps skin retain moisture throughout the night
The dense beta-glucan moisturizing shield (network) consists of active agents such as Hydro Ion Mineral Water, evening primrose root extract, Hunza apricot extracts, and more so that skin fully absorbs the goodness during 8 hours of sleep.
3. Skin soothing: contains skin-soothing agents that are gentle on sleeping skin, helping it recover overnight
Ultra-mild, safe formula that can be worn overnight / Non-comedogenic, sensitivity tested.
4. Aromatic SLEEPSCENT™ helps you relax during sleep
SLEEPSCENT™ specially developed for Laneige Water Sleeping Mask is an AMOREPACIFIC original, allowing skin to relax and rest and boosting its ability to regenerate.
Water Sleeping Mask 제품사진(product-water-sleeping-mask-03)
Look how refreshing it looks in the jar! While it sounds amazing on paper, it feels even better on your skin. The lightweight gel glides effortlessly over my favorite acne treatment which is notorious for pilling under moisturizers. It doesn't irritate my sometimes hyper sensitive skin or make my skin feel tight. It makes me feel pampered every time I get ready for bed, and with crazy schedules who doesn't need a tiny bit of me time each day.  While I cannot speak for it's anti aging abilities, I absolutely feel that I wake up looking a little more rested every time. Whether it is the product doing amazing work or the sleepscent really helping me sleep better, I love it. If you pass by a target, check this product out. It is easy to use and makes the idea of taking off your makeup at night just a little more appealing. 

Until Next Time,
Glitterpukeee!!!

Rain Water Botanicals

Hello Everyone :DD

Today I am introducing a really wonderful company that is on Etsy. They make everything by hand and in small batches. Almost all the ingredients are easy to pronounce and there are no harsh chemicals to mess with your skin. This brand is Rain Water Botanicals :) I try not to copy and past from a companies page but their start up story is inspiring and really quite wonderful so I feel like it should be shared. 

Our Story
Our first and most popular product, Rainwater Botanicals Healing Salve, was formulated in 1999. We were looking for an all natural multi-purpose salve to take along on camping trips for minor cuts and scrapes. At that time there was very little on the market that met our needs, so into the kitchen we went.

Our first ingredient was, and still is Comfrey. Comfrey has incredible healing capabilities and works wonders on many types of skin problems. Through endless hours of research, and some old fashioned trial and error, we believe we have come up with the perfect recipe.

In 2000, we started sharing our Healing Salve with friends and family and received rave reviews. News traveled fast, and we began to hear what we call "Owie Stories" from all over the country. We started sending out Healing salve samples and soon began to hear stories of miraculous recovery from dry skin, eczema, rashes, insect bits, cuts scrapes and diaper rash!

In 2004 we began putting together several lines of products that we truly believe in and personally use.

Please know that we sell only products that we truly believe in and we personally test each and every product. If you have comments or concerns please feel free to contact us!

I received five items from the Rainwater Botanicals line. The Brightening Face Lotion, Ain't no Bugs on Me bug spray, Big Blue soap, Intensive Eye cream and Bergamot and Vanilla Hand and Body Butter. 

(all photos are from the Rainwater Botanicals Etsy site!)

My favorites have to be the Big Blue Soap and the Intensive Eye Cream. The soap is absolutely wonderful. It is an over sized bar that didn't even fit into my soap dish! I had to cut in half in order to not lose it every time I went to use it because it didn't fit in my hand well >..< It smells a bit like fruitloops to me while using it. But after it smells fresh and wonderful! I love how my skin feels and smells after using this soap.



I really like the intensive eye cream simply because it feels really nice on my skin and doesn't sit, but it still has a nice slip to it. It doesn't pull on the fragile skin beneath your eyes! Perfect!
It helps with the bags under my eyes (from not sleeping as a college student) and doesn't stay greasy like some others I have used in the past. It smells fresh. A bit sweet but overall it isn't a strong scent. 

The Brightening Face Lotion is really awesome but it isn't my favorite only because my skin is pretty dry and it isn't moisturizing enough for me to wear on it's own. My skin starts to suck the moisture out of it really quickly. It does have a certain level of SPF because it contains Zinc Oxide which is a natural blocker of UV rays. The other ingredients in the lotion work with the combination of the SPF to help brighten your skin. Its pretty awesome :) I just layer it with my daily moisturizer so it doesn't leave white streaks on my face. It is packaged in a dark brown glass bottle with a pump dispenser. 


The Bergamot and Vanilla Hand and Body Butter is so light and fluffy! I love how smooth it goes onto the skin and leaves the skin feeling moisturized but not greasy. I don't mind greasy( I am an avid using of skin and body oils) but it is nice when I am going somewhere or need to put on pants and don't want to have residue on the inside of my pant legs. 


The only one I have not yet had the chance to test it's true potential is the bug spray. Ain't No Bugs on Me smells wonderful, Penny Royal, Sandalwood and Geranium. It sounds like it would work but you never really know. I did wear it on a "nature hike" through a park and I did not get bitten but the density of mosquitoes at that time was minimal so I feel like it wasn't the most accurate test of the bug repellent's ability to do its job. 


Overall Rain Water Botanicals far exceeded my expectations. All of the products are now part of my weekly regime. I love them and would suggest  their products to anyone who is looking to make more of their skin care naturally derived. 


Until Next Time

Hey Dude Shoes, Boy are these fantastic!

Hello everyone!!!




I have some of the coolest shoes ever as of two weeks ago. Hey Dude Shoes Vinci Oxfords in Charcol. They are military canvas and suede, super light weight, super cute and, oh yea. Made for men. But, Leah has huge feet, I clock in at a women's 10 and a Men's 8.5, and that means she can wear men's shoes. Does that have any advantage in day to day life? Other than the fact that I can steal my guy friend's shoes and wear them leaving my own ratty converse for them, not much.


But to be able to wear Hey Dude Shoes is totally awesome :D I LOVE THEM! They are so friggin cool! I was sent these for review, but gosh a backup pair would be nice. 

I wore them for three days straight while walking around my college's campus and let me tell you that these are the only dress shoes I have ever worn that are as squishy and comfy as running shoes ( I AM SO SERIOUS!). I love the light weight feel and easiness of wear with these shoes. 

The Oxfords had a proper inner arch to them and I never felt like they were really on my feet. They weight in at a little more than 6 ounces they are feather light. Here is what the company says on its site;

The Vinci brogue oxford is a must have shoe for any laid back, style conscious guy. Constructed of lightweight military canvas with Italian cow-suede toe, heel and overlay, the Vinci weighs just 6 ounces. The Dupont sole has a rugged tread pattern giving the shoe an original take on the classic wing-tip. Suitable for work or the pub, Vinci is a great alternative to heavy dress shoes.



I have to say that they are the most amazing men's dress shoes I have ever been. Both men and women have run up to me wanting to know where they are from. Hear that Hey Dude Shoes? ALL my GIRL friends want them! I wish to be made aware the second the Women's line comes out, the smaller sizes of the Vinci would disappear in seconds!

I really cannot express how wonderful these are in words. The fit is great, despite being a man's shoe, the feeling when you step is unparalleled in Men or Women's dress shoes, the construction is superb and you can buy new insoles for only $7 so you can "recharge" the comfort of your shoes!

That is about it. I took at least another 20 photos of these shoes but decided that it would be just a little TOO MUCH to spam you guys with ALL of them. I will admit I am lusting after the new Vinci Neons hardcore. They are sooo pretty... and the new color of Vinci, Nut, is really gorgeous as well. 

Until Next Time,
GLITTERPUKEE!!!!

Morgan Taylor Lacquer, They are so awesome!!

Hello everyone! Polish Post!!!

:D


I haven't done one of these in a bit but the Morgan Taylor Polishes were just so great! I was sent three out of the core line of so so so many! They have awesome application, both Wonder Woman and Dress Up were actually opaque in one coat but I did two out of habit. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here. First, about the company (from the company); 


EXPERIENCE THE MORGAN TAYLOR BRAND

Morgan Taylor™, the NEW standard in Professional Nail Lacquer, the crème de la crème of nail color, developed by professionals for you.
Danny Haile and David Daniel's history began in the nail industry, rooted early on as nail technicians. Over the course of 30 years, Haile and Daniel have innovated the professional nail market. Now, they have once again transformed the nail industry with lacquer that is specially formulated for you…the nail professional. You can see this at work in Morgan Taylor's select ingredients and innovative bottle — each thoughtfully developed for optimum style and performance.
Morgan Taylor's unique spectrum was designed to remove all barriers to color expression. Our creative palette knows no bounds, ranging from the classical to avant-garde, and from subtle to unconditionally spectacular.
We invite you to experience the Morgan Taylor brand. Embrace the colors. Become a part of our world.

I love how they are all about us, the nail polish lovers (they say Professional, but we all know what they really mean ;)  The color range they offer is simply awe inspiring considering they are a pretty new brand compared to the older tried and trues. They seem to have at least 99 colors just in their core collection. WOW! I love that they have not just reds, pinks, nudes and silver/gold. But also glitters, blues, purples and greens. I LOVE IT! 

What is even more amazing is the speed at which they dry. I am a busy person, and I do not often get time to do a full manicure and let it dry as it pleases. But with Morgan Taylor Lacquer, the consistency is a bit thick, but it dries super fast! It is in between a brush on Gel Polish and a normal nail polish. It is super shiny even without top coat. I put on a coat of Out The Door in the photos because I teach swim lessons early in the morning, before the break of day, so I couldn't risk chipping because of the water. My cuticles are sad looking, yes. And the photos of New York State of Mind show some wear from the water. But other than that they held up pretty well considering I spend three plus hours a day in the water for the past two weeks. 

Without further ado, here are the photos! 


Wonder Woman First, A blue base red with a gorgeous glossy shine and shimmer. Spot on for the red I think of when I bring to mind the Iconic Super Heroine

New York State of Mind. Funny thing is, my aunt who is a definite New Yorker saw this polish with no knowledge of the name and said Oooohhh give me. What do ya know? :P 
It is a super pretty multi colored glitter set (blue, pink, red, silver micro glitters, gold) in a deep blurpley jelly base. Definitely textured without a good topcoat. I think I am wearing about three coats here plus two of topcoat. A "hungry glitter" if not treated as a textured polish.

Dress Up. Might actually be my favorite. Easiest application out of the three, super fast drying, super flattering color. The pretty lilac color is one of my favorites in nail polish, I already have three similar but this one takes the cake. It was completely opaque in one coat. A bit more intense at two. I should have done some cleanup but I was test driving a new gadget to make lazy polishers happy :)

I love them and would recommend Morgan Taylor Lacquer to anyone! They are also doing a Breast Cancer Awareness Collection that I think is absolutely fabulous!

College Dorm Room Essentials Series

Hey everyone,

I realized as I have been moving towards my transition to dorm life that I am not alone as I struggle to pick what to take with me and what to leave at home. I also realized that I am just crazy enough that I am going to commit to a series of posts to help others as they work through the same things. :D
    So  I have decided that I will have a "College Dorm Room Essentials Series" which basically will document and share all of the cool websites and companies I have found that have helped me in my process. Finding better storage solutions for all of my shoes, a better way to keep all of my clothing in the closet, and some things that are purely for fun. Because college without fun is pretty boring. 


I have already done some of the posts without realizing it CreaClip an easy way to save on haircuts here! In the near future I will also be reviewing Woolzies dryer balls and many other great products that will make saving money in college that much easier. 

I will also be sharing things like price breakdowns I have done of my own predicted college expenses. It will be a lot of research so I figured I might as well share it with other people so they can benefit from my effort :) 

Thats about it. I will start posting in this series in the coming week :)


Until Next Time,

GLITTERPUKEE!!! :D

CreaClip Review

Hi everyone!

This another one of those products that can save you SO MUCH MONEY AND TIME! Seriously, I personally have never been one of those people who can rationalize spending more than $30 on a hair cut, much less $75. 




The CreaClip is a haircutting tool to help save you money. The more daring will go for a full on new 'do with layers etc because of how easy the CreaClip makes it. The more timid will go for a basic trim that requires minimal risk; put hair in clip, make sure the clip is level, cut. I of course, am in between those two categories quick snugly. Partially because I really like how my latest cut came out, the deal at AVEDA made that easy, and partially because I don't love how my hair looks with really intense layers. Long layers are my thing. 



I decided to do a general trim in the back of my hair where nothing is going on at all, and the front I re layered my bangs to a general extent freehand. They frame my face, starting below the chin. Not wanting to get too crazy with it I created an altered version of the technique they use to create layers. Instead of taking all of my hair to the front of my head and putting it in the big CreaClip, I took only the front, center half. Like the hair that one cuts to make bangs, but a bit further back. 

I really do love the versatility of the hair cut you can get with this device. However, I found that cutting the back of your own hair is impossible if you want a straight cut. That means you have to find someone who you trust with scissors and your hair to do it for you. There may be a secret technique to doing this but I have yet to find it. 

I have cut my sister's hair, my brother's and my own hair in the past week because we all needed a trim. My hair was the hardest because it was the first attempt and I had a clear vision of how I could maintain my current hairstyle but not how I would do it with the CreaClip. 

My sister's hair was pretty straight forward. She has really insane curly hair but she wet her hair completely and put tons of conditioner in it so that I could just do a trim all around. She had a panic attack because I took off precisely one inch. It was fabulous. But her hair looks good and she doesn't even remember how much I had cut off it. 

My little brother's was actually the most complicated. He has layers everywhere because he is a guy! He also refuses to properly wash his hair (again, as a stereotypical almost teen boy) so his hair was kind of gross to work with. I had to use a spray bottle of water and a spray conditioner to attempt to get his hair to behave before starting. His hair is a bit funky looking after the fact, but it is a lot better than the shaggy dog look he was sporting before. 


I would include photos of all of our hair cuts but the two youngers won't stay still long enough for me to get a photo of them. 



I love how easy it was to go from a bit shaggy to polished. I that the price point is good for most people, $29.99 isn't terrible.  (keep in mind that you should pick up pair of either lightweight sewing scissors or haircutting scissors to make sure your cut will look its best)


Overall I think this is a great product and would recommend CreaClip to anyone looking to save money by maintaining their cut between salon visits. 


Until Next Time,

GLITTERPUKEE!!!

Lashem! Healthier, Natural, Effective lash solution!

Hello everyone!

     I am supposed to be working on getting my stuff condensed so I can make the moving to a dorm process easier .... but instead I am writing for you lovely ladies!
I got an amazing opportunity to try out some fabulous products from Lashem.

First, I want to start off with the packaging.
The packaging on the actual lash serum is amazing, beautiful, a deep gunmetal gray and with a good weight to it. I love the brush it comes with. I also love the packaging the eye gels come in. Pumps with clear parts so you can see how much more is left. Metal accents. It's beautiful!
The only (ONLY) cripe I have about the packaging is that the Double Trouble Mascara's pretty silver tube's silver coating peels. Its annoying. Silver specs get everywhere. So if you travel a lot with your mascara ,it lives in your purse/makeup bag most of the time, then it will start to peel. Just a heads up. Small annoyance in comparison to how awesome the mascara is :)   
(Edit: It seems that since I received the product from the company they have changed the packaging of the two skin care products. And maybe the Mascara? Either way they look super fab now :D I love knowing how much is left but the new silver tubes are super sleek!)

     LOVE THESE EYELINERS!!! I actually did a test to prove that they are waterproof :D Just because I am a dork like that.



    The colors are amazing and color payoff is even better. Check out these swatches :D
    Before I went snorkeling... ALL DAY

    After.. I have found that the Natural Smokey and Liquid eyeliner have the best staying power over a few different tests..




    Beautiful packaging of the actual products!!!




    These are some of the most amazing eyeliner products I have ever used. I love that they do not tug on the eye in any way. They do not run when you splash your face with water... but a good cry does seem to dislodge them fairly easily. They suggest the use of just some warm water and what I found to be an awesome microfiber wash cloth that they include in their Ultimate Goddess set. 
           The products I received were the Natural Smokey eye pencil, of which is the non-shimmery black pencil pictured in the swatches and photos above. It has amazing staying power and I love that all of the pencils included a built in smudger!

    The Bronze Amulet Goddess pencil, which is a beautiful bronze that gently adds some shimmer to your eyes without being too dramatic.

    The Charcol Obsidian Smokey Goddess pencil, the shimmery black featured above. It is a great soft black that adds a little extra something that you just wouldn't get with a plain old black pencil.

    The Liquid Define eyeliner. The finest tip eyeliner I have used in a very long time. It is super pigmented, drys just fast enough that you can catch it before it is there for the day but you wont smudge it if you close your eye too soon. I was able to get sooo close to my lashline that most people would not even notice that I am wearing eyeliner. I was also able to wear the liner all day. 

    Lo and behold. I forgot to take off my eyeliner one of the days I was testing these products. I woke up without the nasty raccoon eyes or the I  haven't slept in days look/never got home last night black stains on my pillow. 

    THE MASCARA!!! There is a reason why Eye of Horus is famous for their mascara!!!! It allows for both natural and dramatic lash looks. The mascara doesn't budge during the day. The brush is amazing and allows you to get every little lash without creating a crazy clumpy mess. You know all of the companies that promise *clump free* yada yada??  This mascara is the closest to clump free I have ever used. I apply one coat from underneath to put my lashes in position and then a second to give them a fuller look from the top. And I barely need to wipe off the brush either. Eye of Horus products are now my new go to :)




     

    I would hate to bore you guys... But I also received an awesome pencil sharpener and mirror compact from the company. To say the least they are awesome. No splinters from the sharpener and there is a magnifying mirror in the compact. As well as a normal one. 

    I SUGGEST THEIR PRODUCTS 100%

    They are in Australia however, so I do understand if the shipping and the fact that they seem to retail for A LOT. But remember that the site is not in USD and shipping isn't too bad when you get more than one product. 

    Check out their site and social media :D
