Ipsy Glam Bag - January 2014

Follow me on instagram @devonstinson

I got my Janurary glam bag last week and I thought I would blog this asap! Since I was so late with the last two bags... yeah. This glam bag is mostly skin care products. The bad thing about this bag is when it came in the mail something opened up in the shipment process and leaded everywhere. It was kinda annoying/disappointing. :( Aside from that, everything seems to be in okay shape. This is what I got in my glam bag:

• Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask
• Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow
• MALIN+GOETZ Mojito Lip Balm
• Faith Aromatherapy Tahitian Monoi Anti-Aging Sugar Scrub
• Proactiv+ Mark Fading Pads

Review of the POREfessional Agent Zero Shine

Follow me on instagram @devonstinson

I picked up this hot item a couple weeks ago. I have to be honest, I was very skeptical about this product. I was sold on the claims but at first, I really just wasn't fond of the packaging. These are my current thoughts.

I LOVELOVELOVE the POREfessional. Naturally (or obsessionally?) I was super hype when I heard about the POREfessional powder! I've been using it for the past several days and over all, I'm loving it. What I find works best for me is using the powder to set my under eye concealer and T-zone. It does a FABULOUS job. There's no claim on product wear but this has lasted on my oily face for 4-5 hours, which is a nice bonus. I usually get 3-4 hours out most setting powders. I also tried using this to set my entire face after foundation. I just didn't like it. :( It felt like my face was... too matte and it gave me a ghostly appearance. The way the packaging is set up, it almost suggests that the powder be used in small amounts or in small areas.

*Also I would like to point out that this is my first real loose powder product that I've owned or used to set my make-up. All, all over powders I own, are pressed. 
 
Cons:

• I think the packaging limits the use. Like I said, it makes it very had to use on large areas. 
• Product amount only .24oz.
• Once the product is dispensed, you can't just put the extra back; use it, or lose it.
• Expensive; 30$  
• It's not invisible. Too much of it caused a ghost like cast on my face.

Pros:

• The packing is convenient for travel or on-the-go. Also it's fun and very eye catching.
• The product does what it claims and then some; mattfing, pore perfecting, light weight AND long wearing.
•  The brush is actually decent. Better than most built in or "came with the product", make-up brushes.

In conclusion, I would say if you are a fan of the POREfessional and have an oily T-zone area, you'll love this! It just depends on if you want to cough up the 30$ for it... I'm not entirely sure if I would repurchase it once it's gone but I will continue to enjoy it while I have it. I got my POREfessional Agent Zero Shine at ULTA but of course you can purchase this at Sephora too.

Urban Decay - NAKED 3

Follow me on instagram @devonstinson

That's right. You knew it was coming. You can't be any type of make-up enthuestist and not talk, blog, vlog, instagram, facebook, etc about the NAKED 3 PALETTE  AHMYGAWDITSSOBEAUTIFUL...

Anyways, this is a quick post just to show swatches on my skin tone and in general just to provide make-up eye candy. Cause lemme tell ya, anytime I see someone blog or vlog about this palette I just gravitated to it. Even thought I've seen it like 50 million times... it so hypnotic. Is this just me?

My favorites of them are Limit, Trick, & Nooner. I love the mattes and the shades with the slight orange hue to them. At 52 dollars this palette is a bit pricey but in my opinion it's oh so wroth it. The original NAKED palette was my very first investment into the makeup world and I have never regretted it. Each shale is smooth, rich, and highly pigmented. Neutral shades are all I wear, so every NAKED palette has been right up my alley.

I currently working on my marketing degree in hopes of moving up with the company I'm currently employeed with. So I'm excited to see where 2014 takes me. I have big plans for my future and I feel 2014 will help to set it all in place. :)
