Revlon PhotoReady Face Products



So these are the new Revlon PhotoReady face products! I received this stuff FREE from Crowdtap to try and give my honest opinion. I like each one of the products differently for different reasons so I'm going to break it down :)

Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Filter Foundation - This foundation has great coverage and will take care of the freckles, blemishes, and red spots, but I HATE the sponge on top of the bottle. Yes it blends well and is soft, but I feel like most of the foundation is getting absorbed into the sponge making this foundation really expensive for my taste

Revlon PhotoReady Prep Set Refresh Mist - This mist is so refreshing and can be used to refresh makeup, prime your face before makeup, and set the makeup so it will last longer. The mist on this is so light with a very light scent but actually gets onto the skin and you can feel it. I use two circular motions on my face before and after applying makeup. The best thing about this stuff is that you can feel it but not see it :)

Revlon PhotoReady Color Correcting Pen - This pen has a tiny little brush that the liquid twists up into. DON"T BE SURPRISED, the liquid is green and goes on that color. This product blends into the skin really well and goes from green to a clay skin color and really does work for blemishes and under the eye area.

Revlon PhotoReady Galaxy Dream Palette - This palette is the best highlighting palette especially for women who love to do selfies...but don't forget to use the flash. Yes, this palette is great at doing a subtle highlight on your face but to really see it, I had to be outside in the sun or use the flash on my camera. This powder is holographic and really shows it's color when it catches light. Detailed instructions on how to apply are on the back of the palette under the label.

Below are links to purchase each product on Ulta and thank you for reading!

Loreal Paris 14 Day Revitalift Challenge

My mother shared this with me and I saw it as a win win situation so I'm doing it. So Loreal Paris is giving away FREE Revitalift Triple Power Intensive Anti-Aging Day Cream Moisturizer. Each sheet contains enough cream to use morning and night for 14 days. I took a before picture when I started this challenge and am so excited to see if there's any change. So far I've been using this stuff morning and night for about 4 days and I can feel a difference and see a slight difference in my complexion. The moisturizer is white and creamy with a wonderful fresh scent. I have problems with oily skin and was worried that this might make me break out, but it hasn't so far. The cream is so silky. Every time I put it on, I can instantly see a healthy glow on my face. I love this so far and cannot wait to take my after picture so I can see the difference. I'll be updating this post in about 10 days with the after picture so please stay tuned if you want to see if this product TRULY works :)

A Well-Crafted Home


a well-crafted home 
By:
Janet Crowther


Being someone who LOVES to decorate and rearrange my home, but is also on a budget, this book is totally for me. This book has 213 pages full of wonderful ideas for anyone. My favorites, and some I've even done, is the natural wood stump in my bathroom and the gemstone box. I love that the projects are so easy, detailed, and that I can use new material or I can go to the thrift store to find more vintage looking materials. Each project has a brief description, a list of needed materials, step by step instructions, and a picture of what your finished product should look like. The projects range from antique and country to modern and whimsical. I just love this book and think anyone that loves to do DIY projects or decorate will love it to. I've included a link to the product on the bottom of this post so that you can check it out on Amazon. This book is available on Kindle or paperback :)
