If you're wondering about my blogroll, I had to take it down. One of the links had malware, but I wasn't too sure which one. For that reason, I have to redo my blogroll. If I don't add your blog quickly, I apologize. I will add as time goes on and it might take months. :X


A month ago my Rite-Aid had the Wet n Wild Dream Weaver collection. From that collection, I bought two trio eyeshadows.

Face Place Cell Regenerator Moisturizer

Don't forget to enter my giveaway. It ends Sunday, August 28th, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.


Several months ago, I received a cleanser and moisturizer from Face Place. I think I gave it enough time to review the products. They also have FaceBook so check that out. ;)
The cleanser on the left and the moisturizer on the right. I will only review the moisturizer this time around.
Product Review: Face Place Cell Regenerator Moisturizer

Where can you purchase this: online on Face Place and Face Place locations
Price: $65 for 2 fl oz./60 mL

Made in USA

Description on the website: Provides intensive moisturization and protection, and addresses the appearance of visible signs of aging by helping to rebuild and revitalize the skin. Helps to soften and return elasticity to skin. A complex of natural botanical extracts (grape seed, yeast, green tea, olive) that are rich in vitamins and free-radical scavenging antioxidants. A unique encapsulated carrier system delivers the potent ingredients to where the skin needs them most.
Ingredients:
My thoughts: I was really excited to try this since I love trying new products and brands I have never heard of! She told me it's good for my dry skin. :) On the website, it says it's for normal to dry skin.

The first thing I did is smell the moisturizer. I'm not too sure what the smell is but it kind of smells flowery. I'm not a big fan of flowery smell, but the smell disappears within seconds after you apply. It isn't bad! ;)
The color of the moisturizer looks off-white, creamy color. The moisturizer in the tube also looks very waxy, but it isn't once you apply it. One thing I found interesting is when you apply moisturizer, there's always a dent where you scoped it out. With this moisturizer, there's never a dent. It moves back into shape as if it's brand new. I'm not too sure why but I thought it was interesting!

Since it's summer time, I've been applying this at nights only. It's too heavy for the morning. I definitely think it's great for normal to dry skin people to use it during nights, as well as, mornings and nights during winter season. It's really moisturizing and leaves a dewy glow on your face. It looks nice at nights or at least I think so. When I wake up in the morning, my face looks great! I don't see dry patches and it looks dewy. I can actually go out without a moisturizer in the morning, but I still apply a light one. It's always good to apply moisturizer if you have dry skin. You don't want to create more fine lines.

Pros:
* Trying a new brand.
* Smells disappear within seconds.
* Product moves back into shape; looks brand new.
* Moisturizing.
* Gives of the dewy look.
* Lasts a long time!

Cons:
* Comes in a container you have to scope; not sanitary.
* Smells flowery.

Would I repurchase: Yes, and no. Yes, because it's a great product. No, because it's expensive.

Victoria's Secret Eyeshadow Giveaway and Aveeno Road to Healthy Skin Tour

I don't know if you remember my Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Sale Haul. I posted all the swatches except for one. The reason why I didn't post a swatch for that one is that I got an extra one for one of my readers!
Here's the picture of the eyeshadow, Baked Mineral Shadow Quad in Secluded Lagoon.
Here's how the palette looks open.
You cannot tell from the pictures of the palette alone, but it's huge! I compared it next to one of my MAC eyeshadows. I hope you can see the difference in size.
Here's the swatch of the eyeshadows from left to right. They're really pigmented and gorgeous in my opinion. Then again I can be biased since it's my typical colors. :P

I did two looks with this eyeshadow palette.
Look #1:
Here's how the eye looks open.
Here's how the eye looks semi-closed. I used all the colors in the palette.

Look #2:
Eyes open.
Semi-closed eyes.. I did not do a good job lining my eyes, but it's all good. :X

I feel so bad that I neglected this blog. I apologize!!! A lot has been happening in my personal life that I haven't had the time to blog. I can't promise you but I am trying to be good about posting. Thank you for the people who still read my blog!!!


I've been using the Too Faced Size Queen Mascara for three months now. I received this at the Too Faced Summer Trend 2011 Event. I have Part 1 and Part 2 of the event if you want to check it out. I think it's time to review the mascara.
