Borghese Fango Active Mud For Face and Body

Fango Active Mud for Face and Body | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comSometimes your skin just needs a little extra pampering and this Borghese Fango Active Mud For Face and Body mud mask is just the perfect product! It feels so good going on the face. As I apply it I can instantly feel it cooling and tingling on my skin.  After I use this mask my skin always feels extra hydrated, super soft and looks brighter! I also love the smooth texture of the mud as well as the fresh clean smell.  I highly recommend this mask.

While this mud mask is definitely not a bargain at $72.50 for a 17.6 oz/500gm, it is definitely worth every cent!  A little bit goes a long way .  This product is not only amazing, but it also lasts a long time.  It comes in a beautiful glass jar with a sponge to help with the removal of the mask.

How to apply it…
Use on cleansed skin.  Pack on thickly.  Avoid eyes and mouth Rest 2-5 minutes.  Do not let the mud dry.  Remove with wet sponge and rinse with cool water.  Use at least once a week.

Fango Active Mud for Face and Body | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comWhat does the Borghese website have to say about the product?

Derived from traditional Tuscan treatments, its deep-down purifying power purges and minimizes pores. It exfoliates and helps surface cell turnover, imparting clarity. It hydrates and firms reducing fine lines and providing smooth, toned texture. Infused with Sweet Almond and Avocado Oils, this mud detoxifies and does away with dull skin, leaving skin radiant and refreshed.”

Help! I Need A New Sharpener!

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood8 Comments

I need a new sharpener! | Lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I have a love hate relationship with eyeliners and lip liner. I love the twist up type and hate the wooden pencil kinds.  The main reason for this relationship has nothing to do with the actual type of liner, but more to do with the fact that I have a terrible sharpener.
I need your help! If you have an awesome, holy grail, must buy, super sharp sharpener I want to know what it is!
I feel like the tools are just as important as the makeup, and in this case, my make up can’t work properly because of my terrible tool!

Liebster Award

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

Thank you to That Northern Girl for nominating me for the Liebster Award!

When she told me that she had nominated me, I didn’t quite know what the “The Liebster Award” was.  The word Liebster is a German word that when translated to English means: “sweetheart, beloved person, darling dear, darling; beloved, liked very much; affectionate, loving favorite, preferred above others; liked or loved above others.”
I did a bit of research and  found that it is an award that is for bloggers by bloggers. It’s passed from person to person to help with the discovery of new blogs and bloggers.  It is also to encourage, support, and connect the blogging community.  I think that this is a really nice way to be able to support each other!

The Rules

  1. Thank the nominator:
  2. Display the award.
  3. Nominate 10 more bloggers with 10 new questions.
  4. Answer the questions provided by the Nominator.
  5. Notify the Nominees
  1. What made you start your blog?
    Often I get asked by my friends how I do different makeup looks or techniques as well as what types of makeup and brands I use.  I basically started blogging because I felt as if I had some things that I could share with others.
  2. Who/What do you look for in terms of post inspiration when blogging?
      I generally keep a composition book filled with ideas to blog about.  Whenever inspiration hits me, I will jot down the idea. Sometimes, the ideas make it to the blog, and other times I can’t even remember what I was thinking about at the time, haha.
  3. If you can achieve 1 thing in life, what would it be?
    Well, I have actually already achieved the one thing that I really wanted to do and that is become a wife and mother. But good marriages and good mothers don’t happen accidentally, so it is something that I have to work at every day.
  4. Are you a home bird or would you rather be traveling the world?  
    While I used to be a home bird, the older I get the more I want to travel!  I wish that I had done more traveling and sight seeing before I settled down with a family.
  5. One beauty product you can’t live without and why?  
    It may be a bit boring, but I cannot live without CeraVe Cream moisturizer. It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth.  And if you have beautiful skin, the rest of your makeup just looks so much better.
  6. Which bloggers are on you reading list?
    I have so many awesome bloggers on my reading list  some of my favorites are

    Jill GG Good Life for Less, , Happy Nami, Curly Spring Blossom, Online Beauty Finds,
  7. Out of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr which is your favorite social media outlet?
    I love Instagram!  I think it is because I am a very visual person.
  8. Do you see yourself still blogging in 5+ years?
    I don’t know for sure what I will be doing in 5 years, but I definitely am enjoying blogging now, so hopefully I will still be at it in the future. 
  9. What is your go to fashion brand?
    I love Ann Taylor clothes, and GAP Dulce De Leche Ice Cream from Haagen-Dazs | lookingjoligood.comjeans.

These Jordana Easyliner for lips lipliners glide on smooth and creamy and last for hours.  I also love that it has a twist up applicator so I don’t have to sharpen it and lose a bunch of product in the process.  They are available in 13 different colors.  My favorite go to is Baby Berry. So far I have only found them sold at Walgreens (and online). At only $2.50 each, I will definitely make a special trip to Walgreens!

Here is what the Jordana Cosmetics website says about the Easyliner

Essence Lipliner

Essence Lipliner $1.49! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Essence Lipliner $1.49!

At only $1.49 these essence lipliners are a major steal! If you don’t already own one you need this in you life!  They go on smoothly and last hours.  They have 8 different shades to choose from as well as a transparent liner.  My favorite shades are 05 soft berry and 07 cute pink.  Unfortunately, it has a wooden design, so it does need to be sharpened, but at such a low price it is still a great deal.  In my area they are only available at Ulta and Ulta.com, but according to the Essence website they can also be found at Shoppers Drug Mart and Fred Meyer as well.

What does Ulta.com have to say about these lip liners…

Essence Lip Liner glides on smoothly and precisely to ensure perfect lip contours and endless hours of lipstick fun. The wooden lip liner is ideal for smudge-proof and long-lasting lip makeup.

What do you think?  Have you used either of these lipliners?  Do you love them?  What is your favorite go to great deal lipliner?

NYC Smooth Loose Face Powder

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Loose Powder~

It is a finely milled powder that mattifies the face without adding an extra thick layer of makeupy weight.I have been using this powder for years!  At less than $3 this product comes straight from heaven!  It is a finely milled powder that mattifies the face without adding an extra thick layer of makeupy weight.  This powder also helps to control oils without drying out the face.  The translucent shade works great for all skin colors.

It comes with a circular cosmetic makeup sponge over an opaque white sifter.  I don’t use the sponge, but instead use a large fluffy brush like the e.l.f. Studio Complexion Brush ($3) or the e.l.f. Essential Total Face Brush ($2).  I tip the container over and use whatever powder is in the cover to dust lightly over my face. I generally first start by applying to my chin, the nose, the forehead and cheeks.  Of course whichever order you choose to apply the powder onto your face is up to you.

As the day goes on, after blotting any excess oil off of my face, I will often reapply a light dusting of powder to my T-Zone.  Even after adding this extra layer of powder to my face it doesn’t look built up or cakey.

What does the NYC Cosmetics Website have to say about it?…
