Review

 

Packaging: I always say this but I really love the way Valentia packages their products. The gold trim adds a touch of elegance and on this product they added gold roses.

Smell: It has a very nice floral scent. I think it's a nice mix of lavender and rose.

Texture: It's a very nice light serum. It feels really nice going on the skin.

Application: All you need is 1-2 pumps. Apply it evenly to your face and neck every evening after washing your face. After it absorbs apply your moisturizer and favorite eye cream.

Effectiveness: Now this is the part I haven't been looking forward to. I didn't feel like it did anything amazing for my skin. I think it felt really nice on my skin and I'm sure it helped a bit I just wasn't wowed like the Vitamin C Serum. My skin has been pretty nice lately so it's just been difficult to say if it's truly working for me. I will say my skin has been so nice because I've been using A lot of their products for reviews.

Value for money: It's $35 for 1.18 fl. oz. of product. Since I wasn't wowed I wouldn't pay $35 for it probably more like 25.

Availability: You can get it from Valentia's website or you can get it on Amazon.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Lip Balm

Well ladies today is the last day of the Beauty Brawl. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I know there are a few products I want to try.

Product  90
Packaging  95
Price  95

I bought this product when it first came out but it didn't take me long to lose it so I knew I wanted to try it again for the brawl. The packaging is super fun like their other products. 

The lip balm feels really good on my lips and it has SPF 20. It smells and tastes pretty good. For some reason I always smell fruity pebbles. Weird right? 

I bought it at Walmart for $3.48 it is currently on sale. 

I really hope you enjoyed the Beauty Brawl. It's so fun to get to know the girls and learn about new products. Don't forget our hashtag is #beautybrawl16 also check out Mikayla's blog to see what she reviewed. 

Now that The brawl is over I have a couple of reviews that I am working on. I am also going to start doing nail art tutorials so if you have any requests leave a comment!

 

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: BB Cream

Wow is it day nine already! I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of the beauty brawl! I chose Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream.

Product  90
Packaging  85
Price  90

I like the packaging. I like that I just squeeze the product out and I can control how much product I want. 

I bought this for my trip to Disney. I didn't want to take my foundation because I knew it would be too hot but I wanted some sheer coverage so this was perfect. It has SPF 30 so you definitely need to set it. It gives me the perfect amount of coverage. It's all I've been using for foundation for almost 3 months now. 110 and 120 mixed together makes my perfect shade.

Walmart has it right now for $6.79 which is cheaper than what I paid.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Setting Spray

Hello ladies! I can't believe it is day eight of the beauty brawl already! Today we are talking about setting spray. 

From the e.l.f. website

Product  50
Packaging  70
Price  90


I have had this setting spray for a while but I never use it. The packaging is very simple. I'm not a fan of the way the product comes out. This product only cost $3. While this brand is very affordable I have never been a fan. This product is no different. I can't tell if it does anything for me. Mine also doesn't smell very good.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Lipstick

Hello ladies! I went to Pittsburgh with my family yesterday so my post wasn't able to go up. Yesterday's review was lipstick and I chose Revlon. I have to work on three reviews so I am trying to keep them short.

Product  85
Packaging  85
Price  90

The packaging is simple but nice. The top is clear so you can see what color it is which is nice. 

The product is pretty good. The color is very bright and perfect for summer. I have been using it a lot when doing my makeup for work. Depending on what I am doing I can go a couple of hours before reapplying it. 

It cost $4.79 so it is a decent price. If you are on a budget I definitely recommend this lipstick.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Blush

Hello day six! Just like the Christmas Beauty Brawl this one is going by really fast. Today is blush day and I chose Makeup Revolutions blush in the shade Beloved.

Product  85
Packaging  75
Price  100


The packaging is just like the eye palette but I like it more for the blush. 

The blush is pretty nice. It feels very smooth and has very nice pigmentation. I decided to go with this color because it was perfect for summer. It's a very bright coral so for me a little bit goes a long way. 

This matte blush cost $5 and its a decent size. I want to try the other colors and the baked blush. It took me a little while to get used to the color but I really it.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Eye Palette

Welcome to day five of the Beauty Brawl! I can't believe we are halfway through the brawl already. Today is my favourite day because I love eyeshadow palettes. I Chose the Iconic 3 palette from Makeup Revolution. I was so excited when my Ulta started carrying Makeup Revolution so I knew I had to try it for the brawl.

Product  90
Packaging  65
Price  100

The packaging is very cheap I could see the lid breaking off easily. Of course that's what keeps the product so cheap. This 12 shadow palette only cost me $7 so I don't hate the packaging. I bought this palette because I heard it was a good dupe for the Naked 3 palette so I had to try it because $7 is WAY better than $54.

I can't say if it's an exact dupe but the pigmentation in this palette is impressive. I swatched the shadows as soon as I got home and I was happy I bought it. The dark pink and rose gold are GORGEOUS! The swatches down below don't even do it justice. 

I can't wait to play around with it some more. So far I have gotten pretty daytime looks for work but I definitely want to do a night time look. I also want to try more of their palettes.

Today was my sister's last day of third grade so we are going to enjoy some chocolate mug cakes while watching Zootopia. Have a good night ladies!

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Bronzer

Welcome to day four of the Beauty Brawl! We are reviewing bronzers today. I've never been crazy about bronzer because I've always been pale so nothing I tried looked right on me. So let's see how this bronzer works for me!

Product  90
Packaging  80
Price  90

I got this sample in my March ipsy bag. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first. It can be used in the TEMPTU airbrush system, with fingertips, or a brush. The packaging is simple but I like it. The first time I tried it I used my Real Techniques expert face brush and I think it looked pretty good. Today I used my fingers to blend it and I really like the way it looks. 

I started tanning a couple of weeks ago so right now I think the color is just right for me. Just add a little bit of product and blend it out. If you need more you can layer it. I applied some to my hand and I can't stop looking at it and loving how natural it looks. 

The sample I got was .25 fl. oz. the full size is 1 fl. oz. A little bit goes a long way so I will probably have this sample for a while. The full size costs $29.50 and I think that is a reasonable price. I would like to try their blush it looked like they had some really beautiful colors. You can purchase the bronzer here.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Primer

Hello everyone! Who is ready for day 3 of the Beauty Brawl? Today we are reviewing primers! I chose Baby Skin from Maybelline. I've been wanting to try it since it came out so let's get started!

I'm still not having any luck with the app so here is my score
Product  85
Packaging  90
Price  100


First of all the packaging is really fun! I can easily find it in my makeup bag. I think it's a decent size for the price. I got it from Walmart for $5.35. It feels very nice and smooth going on the skin. Is it an instant pore eraser? No, but my pores are huge. I do think it helps though. I work at a tanning salon so it can get pretty toasty and whenever I checked my makeup it still looked pretty good. 

I definitely like it a lot more than the NYX primer. I prefer the Benefit Porefessional Primer but at $31 I can't afford it everytime so I will keep buying Baby Skin. 

I hope you enjoyed day 3! Check out Mikayla's blog to see what product she chose. 

Let me know what primers you are loving right now or if you want me to try one.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Brow Product

Hello everyone! Whose excited for day two of the beauty brawl? Today we are reviewing brow products. I chose Rimmel London's Brow This Way Brow Gel. Sorry for the delay I worked tonight and after I got home I just wanted to relax for a bit.

Until I can get the app here is my score
Product  60
Packaging  80
Price  80

I thought I would try a brow gel so I bought Rimmels in the medium brown shade. I was not a fan. I had to be really careful applying it so If you are in a rush I don't recommend it. I would rather fill in my brows with a pencil. If you like this type of product it's not awful and you can't beat the price. It was only $3.97 at Walmart. The packaging is really simple and it's the same color as the product.

Blogger Summer Beauty Brawl: Face Mask

Hello everyone! Welcome to day one of the Summer Beauty Brawl! I really enjoyed the Christmas Beauty Brawl so I was excited when I was asked if I wanted to be a part of this one. Today we are reviewing face masks and I chose the Feeling Beautiful Avocado & Oatmeal face mask. 

First of all you can't beat the price of these masks $3.27 for 6 fl. oz. The clay helps remove the dirt and oil from your pores while Vitamin E, Avocado, and Oatmeal moisturize. You can use this mask two times a week or as often as needed. I leave it on for about 5-10 minutes and my skin feels great. The packaging is nice and simple which obviously helps keep it budget friendly. I definitely prefer it over another one of their masks.
