Review: Victoria's Secret Pink Nourishing Shave Cream....

I started using VS Pink Nourishing Shave Cream a couple weeks ago after getting it in a 3 for $15 deal for VS Pink products...

Pros:

-smells amazing. a combination of sweet floral and real shea butter

-left my legs very soft and nick free. I can nick my legs with a new razor so this was a good try for me!

-the package was easy to grasp in the water. No slip and slip container issues!

-Just $5.And you only need a little more than a quarter size to cover your leg...if you are short like me:)

Cons:

-Even though its a "Shaving Cream", the consistency was little 'lotiony'. It wasn't as creamy as I thought it would be. I thought maybe my legs were too wet but, no, its not as creamy as I would have thought it to be.

Consensus:

-Love it!!! Great price, Great shaving cream:)

Review: Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadow and Lip Gloss....

I picked up all the Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadows and one Almay Pure Blends Lip Gloss during my 1st CVS Clearance run.( btw, I went back today to see if the Maybelline 50% stuff had been marked down some more...nada)

The eye shadow colors: Cocoa, Steel, Lavender, Sage, and Oatmeal and the lip gloss is Nude.

I'll admit, I ignored these when they first came out thinking they were not brown girl friendly...

Sometime doubt will bite you in the ass...lol
I love them:) Seriously, they are soft textured and beautiful on my skin. They blend well and give just enough color for a natural look...

In today's look, I'm wearing Sage on the lid, Cocoa in the crease, and oatmeal blended from the crease up to the brow...

***Excuse the lip gloss on my teeth. I didn't even see it til I downloaded the photos!***

The lip gloss, however, was not as exciting. The initial application was oily, but I like it has no taste and practically no smell. The nude is really pretty paired up with my faithful MAC Cork liner.

If your CVS has any Almay Pure Blends eye shadows left ( at 75%) grab them up.:)

Review:Revlon Age Defying Instant Firming Face Primer....

Revlon Age Defying Instant Firming Face Primer ( whew! seriously cosmetic companies...tone these names DOWN) is a CVS Clearance goody. I was giddy to find it since I don't normally wear primers. Its time to try out some!

Pros:

-The consistency is like a moisturizer. Smooth and sinks into the skin.

-I did see after applying the primer and my foundation a change in my pores. They looked less exaggerated, but just a little.

Cons:

-The SMELL is awful. It smells like craft glue..very chemical. Ugh!

-If it hadn't been 75% off, I would've bought it. Not it a drugstore primer for 12.00. I can get Smashbox primer for a couple more dollars than that and no horrid smell.

-What 'Firming'?

-What 'Defying'?

Consensus:

-Could be okay product without the smell and price.
