One Shadow Complete Eye Look

LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Can you believe that to get this eye look, I only used one eye shadow?!

All I used was the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Definer Duo Chrome Shade.  After applying the shadow all over my lid and under neath my bottom lash line,  I started blending.  Then I blended some more, and then a bit more.

In this picture, I am not sure how well the actual duo chromeness shows up (is chromeness even a word?) but in person it is a beautiful shade!  Just another reason that I love the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette!

Do you have the Comfort Zone Palette?  Have you ever tried using just this one shade to create an entire look?

(I also have on Be a Bombshell eyeliner and Smashbox Photo finish mascara.)

Target Haul

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood4 Comments

Well, I have really been trying not to buy new makeup…easier said than done!  I was so excited to see Essence at Target and actually only bought one thing, then things went down hill from there…

You may remember that my skin has been suffering from winter!  I picked up a few things to see if maybe a little change might make a big difference.

I will let you know how I like all of these things after I use them for a little while.

Here is a list of what I got (with links):

Essence matte sun club bronzers

Garnier Clean + Nourishing Cleansing Oil For Dry Skin – 4.2 fl oz

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily Anti-Acne BB Cream – Light/Medium (2 oz)

Neutrogena Pore Refining Daily Cleanser

Olay Regenerist Luminous Overnight Facial Mask Gel Moisturizer, 4.5 oz

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio

Wet n Wild Color Icon Ombre Blusher

Of course, I paid for all of this stuff myself.  I wish that someone else had bought it for me, that would be nice 😉

Mini Drugstore Haul Review

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood7 Comments

Good Buy or Goodbye?

Back in September I posted a Mini Drugstore Haul.  I have had plenty of time to use the products, and I am ready to give a full review on them.  I am going to use a simple “Good Buy” or “Goodbye” rating 😉

Here is what I bought in September:Mini Drugstore Haul | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

As you may remember, I love the Maybelline SuperstayBetter Skin Foundation.  During the summer I was a wearing the shade 20, but now that it is winter I need a lighter shade so I picked up 15, the next shade down.  (I have actually even picked up the 10 shade.  I am so pale!!!)  One of my favorite things about it is that it lasts all day!  I have written a full review on this foundation that you can read HERE.  My opinion hasn’t changed, I still love this foundation!  This Maybelline Better Skin Foundation is a Good Buy.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comMaybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation  I had heard so many so many great things about the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation. I wanted to try it out for myself.  I bought the shade 115. I really like it! I cannot believe how inexpensive this foundation is!  I really wish it had a pump.  If it came with a pump, I think I would actually like this foundation better than the Better Skin Super Stay.  That being said, this is definitely a Good Buy!

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comThe Maybelline Great Lasht mascara is basically like the most iconic of all mascaras.  Surprisingly, as much as I love Maybelline mascaras I had never tried this one.  Until I was talking about this mascara with my sister, I didn’t realize that they sell it with different brush size options!  Personally,  I like a bigger brush on my mascaras. Next time I will get it with the larger brush.  I have to say, I think it definitely lives up to all the hype. This Maybelline Great Lash mascara is a Good Buy!

Garnier Clean + Balancing Daily Exfoliator for Combination Skin | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Garnier Clean + Balancing Daily Exfoliator for Combination Skin

Garnier Clean + Balancing Daily Exfoliator for Combination Skin  I recently wrote an entire post about this daily facial scrub.  If you want to read it you can click HERE.  I would repurchase the Garnier Clean + Balancing Daily Exfoliator for Combination Skin.  I have enjoyed using it these last few weeks.  I feel like it is just not the right choice for my skin at this time of year.  I will try it again in the summer months and see if my skin reacts to it in a different way.  The Garnier Clean + Balancing Daily Exfoliator for Combination Skin is a Good Buy.

Simple MicellarWater  I had such high hopes for this!  I have heard so many people talk about this Micellar water from Simple.  It is just ok for me.  It does not take waterproof makeup off well at all and forget about it if you wear waterproof mascara like I do.  It isn’t a bad product, but it isn’t a miracle worker either.  I have other similar products that i like better, for me this one is a Good Bye.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comAussie 3 Minute Miracle  I LOVE this!  It is awesome. I can’t quite place my finger on the scent to describe, but maybe a sweet citrus vanilla/orange creamsicle scent.  I don’t know, I just really like it.  It leaves my hair feeling super soft and healthy.  I have already repurchased this two more times since I originally tried this one in September.  In my opinion, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle is a very Good Buy!

As for the Suave lotion, I have been using it for years and know that it is something that I love and will repurchase over and over again.  Not to heavy or greasy, not to overly scented. Comes in a huge bottle and lasts for a long time. Suave lotion is a Good Buy!

Have you used any of these drugstore products?  What did you think? Good buys or goodbyes?

*I bought all of this with my own money.  As always, all the opinions are all my own. 🙂

Good Buy or Goodbye?!

Back in November I posted a Target Mini Makeup Haul.  I have had time to use the products for a while, and I am ready to give a review on them.  I am going to use a simple “Good Buy” or “Goodbye” rating 😉

Target Mini Makeup Haul Review | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comHere is what I bought in November:

NYC Smooth Skin BB creme
NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum
Wet and Wild Comfort Zone Palette
NYC eye-shadows sticks

NYC BB Creme | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

NYC Smooth Skin BB creme
I have used this BB cream in the past, and I remember liking it.  I may have actually been thinking of something else because after using it again, I really do not like this BB Cream from NYC!  It is thin, runny, and liquidy.  Not only does it not blend in well at all, it left my skin feeling dry. It also has these tiny fine sparkles in it.  It’s unfortunate this didn’t work out for me because the color match is actually perfect.  Overall as a brand, New York Color or NYC has always been a bit hit or miss for me.  I love their smooth skin bronzer, liquid eye liner, and translucent loose face powder, however I do not reccommend this one, this BB creme is a Goodbye!

NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum
I actually really really like this lipstick, but…it broke the first time that I used it, Boo Noooooo!  Despite that, I have still been using it, I have just been applying it with a lip brush.  It isn’t super convenient, but it gets the job done, and it really looks beautiful when applied with the lip brush.  I love the color, and the texture is smooth and creamy, and doesn’t dry my lips out at all.  Even though it broke so easily, I still say this lipstick a Good Buy!

Wet N WildComfort ZonePaletteWet and Wild Comfort Zone Palette
I love love love my Wet and Wild Petal Pusher palette, so I was pretty sure that I was most likely also going to like the Comfort Zone palette. Now I know why I have heard so many people on YouTube recommend it, it is an awesome palette!!!  Wet N Wild has really stepped up their game!  I have been enjoying the Wet N Wild products that I have recently purchased. No question about it,this Comfort Zone Palette is a Good Buy!

NYC eye-shadows sticks | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comNYC eye-shadows sticks
I purchased the white shade #625 Rockefeller Center and #620 Murry Hill Champagne. I had high hopes for these two eye-shadow sticks.  I was really hoping that they would be a cheaper comparable version of my Milani Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencil. Nope, not even close! While the white one is the worse of the two, neither transfer well onto the skin, and actually instead kind of ball up on the eye lid.  They don’t last long either, definitely not the promised 24 hrs. The Champagne one broke off at the base after only the second time I used it.  While I forgave the NYC lipstick for breaking because it was a great product, I can’t forgive this one!  There are 11 shades total, I don’t know what the other colors are like, but the two I have tried are a Goodbye, NOT a Good Buy!

Have you tried any of these products?  What are your thoughts on them?

**This year, instead of buying more new things, I am going to be trying to use the many products that I already have in my make up collection. I will have many more reviews of all the products that I bought ore received in sample/ subscription boxes through out 2015.**

Highlight on fleek?

Wet n Wild Color Icon Collection Bronzer SPF 15, Reserve Your Cabana

Highlight on Fleek? Reserve your Cabana | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comWhile personally I am not a super over the top highlight all over the face kind of gal, I know that “strobing” is very in right now.  Since highlighting is so popular there are so many different types and brands of highlighters to choose from.  I have tried a few different ones, some higher end and some drugstore ones. I have to say out of all of the ones that I have tried the $3.99 Reserve Your Cabana Bronzer highlighter from Wet N Wild is my absolute favorite.  It may be called a Bronzer, but don’t let that fool you this is definitely a highlighter and it is gorgeous.  It is such a beautiful shade with just the right amount of shimmer and glow. I don’t know what it is exactly about this highlighting bronzer, but it is absolutely stunning. I use it on my cheekbones, the inner corners of my eyes, on my brow bone, and sometimes on top of my cupid’s bow.  It just adds this beautiful glow to the skin without being an overly in your face highlight.  Whether you are on a tight budget or not, I highly recommend this highlighter, it is such a great product!

What does the Wet N Wild website have to say about this highlighter…

“Sunset tan! The grand daddy of the bronzer world! This big, hunky guy is the perfect man: he’s healthy for you (dermatologist-tested), not slimy (oil-free), has a great pedigree (winner of The Oprah Magazine O-Ward) and is so protective (from harmful UVB rays). Plus, he’ll always complement how you look!”

Wet n Wild COLOR ICON EYESHADOW COLLECTION 736 Petal Pusher

I am an eye shadow lover!  My favorite part of putting makeup on is definitely the eyes! I purchased this Wet n Wild Petal Pusher icon eyeshadow collection at CVS for $4.99.  At such a low price, I was amazed at the great quality and pigmentation of these shadows.

While I can’t say that I absolutely love and use all 8 of the shadows, there are several that I use quite frequently.  Since these shadows don’t have individual name, I have numbered them to make it easier to tell which one I am talking about.

Product Highlight~ Eyeshadow~Wet n Wild COLOR ICON EYESHADOW COLLECTION ~ |lookingjoligood.wordpress.comMy hands down favorite shade is #2.  It is a light pink with a pearl finish.  It has a creamy texture and goes on beautifully.  I generally use it either all over my lid or in the inner corners to add some highlight. My second favorite is #3.  It is a beautiful light lilac purple matte shadow.  It also has a nice creamy texture and blends out easily. I usually use this in the crease as a transition shade. I haven’t had any issues with any of these shadows creasing on me.

It is a tie for third place between #1 and #5.  While they couldn’t be more different from each other, they both work out perfectly for where I want to use them.  The #1 shade is a perfect matte highlight shade for under the brow bone.  It also looks beautiful when used all over the lid either on its own or under another shadow.  This shadow also blends out well.  The deep purple of the #5 matte shade is perfect for using on the outer lower lash line, and in a V definition of the outer crease and along the outer lid. It does have a bit of fall out, but I find that as long as I tap my brush off first, the fall out isn’t too bad.

Numbers 4, 6, 7, and 8 all are glittery and tend to have a lot more fall out.  In the pan #4 has a burgundy look to it, but transfers as more of a purple, while #6 looks reddish, but goes on more black with red undertones. Number 8 is a glittery black with A LOT of fall out, so use with caution!

The ICON EYESHADOW COLLECTION also comes in two other pallet selections 738 Comfort Zone and 737A Poster Child. | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comThe ICON EYESHADOW COLLECTION also comes in two other pallet selections 738 Comfort Zone and 737A Poster Child.  While I don’t personally own either of these two pallets myself, I have heard a lot of great things about the 738 Comfort Zone pallet.

What does the Wet and Wild Website have to say about it?…

Eight dynamic, perfectly color-coordinated shades with high pigment and pearl for ultra-impact color. Shades can be used together or individually to create an endless variety of looks.

The back of the packaging says: “A stunning collection of silky, ultra-pigmented day-to-night colors. Mix-and-match for a variety of looks from sweet to wild! All day, crease-resistant color
