Soap mini - haul

  My name is Danielle and I am a soap - sniffer.   *hiii Danielle*    Maybe I should go look for a support group for this.  I enter a store.  I see soap,   I sniff. I really don't care who's watching me funny either.     So that is just what I was doing when I visited UWI's Agri Expo over the weekend. There were quite a few soap manufacturing companies so I decided to try from the following two places: Acacia Products Coco Dreams 1.  Acacia Products  I did not get the person's name but the young woman in this booth let me know about the different types of soaps available.  She also allowed me to sniff as much soap as I wanted, yayy! 2.  Coco Dreams Estate. I expected this soap to smell like cocoa butter but it smelt slightly fruity.  So I bought the cute chicken and egg shaped soap.

Ipsy, Bh cosmetics beauty haul!

I received my last monthly Ipsy packet and my order from Bh cosmetics in January          The theme for the January Ipsy bag:  Metropolis.  Maybe to promote some sort of 'street glam'                movement? Meh, I dunno. I've been gazing at this 'Take me to Brazil' palette for approximately one year.  Eventually I said to myself: Ah, just buy the makeup!     So I did.            Anyhoo, back to the Ipsy bag.         This was the card that came in the Ipsy package. And all the products, most of which I had never heard of before. 1.   Ipsy L34 Blend Beauty. Loving the lilac handle with the ombre bristles. 2.  Model Co. Peach Bellini blush.

Cara Mia liquid matte foundation review

Image
This product comes in a cuboid - shaped glass bottle with a black plastic cover.  I got it at a local beauty store.   This brand (Cara Mia) of cosmetics is manufactured in the country where I live (Trinidad and Tobago) and I enjoy trying out local products. The consistency is like a thin cream and is lightly scented. I wore this foundation approximately twice a week to go to work.  The testing period lasted three weeks. The results?  Oh boy. I have oily skin and I know I should stay away from liquid foundations however, I tried a couple other brands before this without much stress. Cara Mia? Every time I wore it, I became extremely wet and greasy after a couple of hours. The weather could be cool, I could be in an A/C building, I could add extra primer and setting powder - same results. I would recommend to those with dry skin, hopefully they would experience a different result. Thanks a lot for visiting my blog!...
