Product Review: REVLON Photoready Airbrush






Hey Everyone! I am back with another product review. I heard good things about this foundation and decided I'd give it a go. Below are my thoughts and feelings towards the foundation.

Price:  $17.99 (Canadian) at Zehrs

Pros: The coverage isn't too bad, it is a light coverage and there are tiny flecks of "sparkle" that add a really nice dewy finish to the skin, similar to the photoready liquid foundation. This really makes your skin look more awake and youthful. I'd probably stay away from it if you have any wrinkles however since the sparkle may sit in the wrinkle and make you look older than you are. It lasts a fair bit on me, I have normal to dry skin, but I feel like if you have skin more on the oily side, you may want to stick with a more matte foundation.

Cons: To me it has a really odd smell and I find that extremely unappealing, I also find the bubbles of the mousse a little bit strange. Which is purely a personal preference. It's not too build-able in my opinion but if you're looking for something light than this is good for you. If you need a foundation that offers a lot of coverage and will create flawless skin, this isn't for you.

Final Verdict: I am not going to buy this product again, the smell alone really turns me off. But if you aren't as smell sensitive as I am and are looking for a light coverage foundation this will be perfect for you! And as always this is just my opinion, you may have experienced something completely different, each person is unique and will react to things a different way.

Hope that this review has helped you a little in deciding what direction to take! Have you tried the REVLON Photoready Airbrush foundation before? How'd you like it? Leave me a comment.

Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

Hello Everyone! So Sally recently did her routine for oily skin and I figured it would be best to do my routine for dry skin. That way we have covered a nice variety to help you lovely people find a routine that will help you achieve your skincare goal. Now by no means am I saying this routine is the best routine and if you aren't using these products you are missing out but this is what works for me, and fits into my price range. (added bonus in my books) Anyway, before I continue to ramble on I will just let you watch the video, and below I will re-list the products that I mentioned, their price and where I found them. Enjoy!





Presidents Choice Sensitive Baby Wipes - $5 (tin) $4 (248 wipe refills) - Zehrs
Burts Bees Cleansing Cream - $10 - Walmart
Burts Bees Citrus Facial Scrub - $5 - Target (NY)
Freemans Anti-Stress Dead Sea Mask - $4 - Zehrs
Bio Oil - $10 - Walmart
Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer - $8 - Walmart


I hope that this routine helped you and I'd love for you to suggest any products for me to try or even some products that you commonly use! Like they say in every proactive ad, clear skin is sexy skin, but I believe if you have reached your skin care goal you will have loads more confidence and be able to shine! 

So... shine on you crazy diamond!

Product Review - Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick


I recently stopped by Zehrs (grocery store in Canada) and picked up a Joe Fresh lipstick. I have never had any Joe Fresh makeup but I do enjoy their nail varnish. I picked up the colour Melon in their matte finish and this is what I thought of it.

Price: $6 (Canadian)

Pros: It isn't too expensive and the colour is very vibrant. I don't know how well you can tell in the photo but it is true to it's colour sticker. I also swatched a lot of them and they're all very pigminted. It also doesn't dry out and application is really smooth and even.


Cons: The only real con I have with it is it doesn't last too long but that doesn't bother me too much.


Final Verdict: I will definitely be purchasing more of these lipsticks and I suggest any of you lovely Canadian beauty lovers to do the same. They're not too expensive and they are nice lipsticks. I would also suggest any of you who are weary to try a not so well known brand to give them a go, you never know, they could be an amazing find.

Have you ever tried Joe Fresh lipsticks or were there any brands that surprised you? Leave a comment and let us know!
