~Jenulence Mineral Eye Highlight Shimmer Review!~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Jenulence Cosmetics’ Eye Highlight – Mineral Eye Shadow!

Here is a bit of information about the product. Soft, light pearlescent shimmering eye shadow. It looks like white color when in the jar, but has beautiful light shimmering lavender color when on the skin. Great as an eye highlight or as a light shimmering lavender eye shadow.

I just love the uniqueness of Jenulence’s Eye Highlight Mineral Eye Shadow. This lovely pearlescent color has a shimmering lavender undertone that really brings out the color of my eyes and skin!

I love to use this fine textured powder as an eye highlight, eye shadow, and facial highlight. I really like for my eyes to say how I feel, so when I’m in a fun mood, I wet the eye shadow and go for a bolder look. Just apply Jenulence in the morning and go all day, no need for a touch up.

The packaging is small and fits perfectly into any size makeup bag.

This product retails for:
~Full size $6.00
~Sample jar $2.50
~Sample bag $1.00

Pros:
~Beautiful, unique color
~Multi-purpose
~Lasts for hours as facial and eye highlight
~Able to apply wet or dry for eye shadow

Cons:
~None

Overall, I rate this product at 5 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is the perfect way to add a simple yet unique touch to your makeup!

~Smashbox Cosmetics O-Gloss - Review!~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Smashbox Cosmetics’ O Gloss!


Here is a bit of information from the website. Get a shiny pink pout all your own! The first intuitive lip gloss, this innovative formula goes on clear and then reacts with your personal skin chemistry to instantly transform into your own custom shade of pink. O-GLOSS is packed with our exclusive microcirculating Goji Berry-C Complex™ and ginkgo biloba, pomegranate seed antioxidants, revitalizing marine botanicals and moisturizing avocado oil for lustrous shine.

I have always been looking for that perfect gloss in the perfect shade that makes my lips look… well perfect!

I have finally found my match! O Gloss starts out as a clear gloss, but then almost instantly it begins to change into a shade of pink that best compliments the wearer! My personal shade is a hot pink, and it looks fantastic on me!


The lip gloss itself is non-sticky with a faint raspberry aroma. My favorite thing about this lip gloss is that once the gloss has worn away, my lips stay slightly stained! Including the gloss and the stained lips, this product will last 8 to 9 hours without any touchups needed!

The tube that this gloss comes in is cute and small! It is the perfect size for any pocket or purse!

This product retails for $22.00.

~Smashbox Cosmetics HD Dual Finish Powder - Review!~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Smashbox Cosmetics’ High Definition Dual Finish Micro Powder SPF 15!


Here is a bit of information from the website. This translucent, oil-absorbing powder gives you the choice of 3 different finishes in one portable tube. Just click “Matte” to absorb shine, “Luminous” for a natural glow, or “Mix” to get the best of both.

Its unique flow-through brush gives you the perfect amount of powder each time, and locks for no-mess touch ups. Suitable for all skin tones and types. Wear alone or over foundation.

This is a great product to keep in your purse for those on-the-go touchups! The high definition powder is fantastic, and I love that you have three options to choose from: matte, luminous, or a mixture of both.

The translucent powder is very fine in texture, and applies evenly without leaving you cakey. The only downside is that the powder can become a bit messy if too much shakes out.

I love that everything you need is located in a small, sleek package! The brush is soft and dense enough to help you quickly buff the product into your skin.


This product retails for $38.00.

Pros:
~Three powder options to choose from
