I’m so excited to bring you this review today because one of you will get a chance to win all 3 products I mention at the end of this review so keep reading….

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 $48.00

What they say:

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 Face – a breakthrough 5-in-1 tinted skin enhancer designed to Hydrate, Prime, Enhance, Mattify & Protect your skin in a one simple step. This multi-tasking complexion enhancer instantly improves skin tone, luminosity, and texture while smoothing out and minimizing the look of pores, fine lines and pigmentation imperfections in seconds.

My thoughts:

This product is wonderful! It’s like a tinted moisturizer and primer built into one. On days when my skin is behaving I can use this product on it’s on with a lil bit of the concealer and I’m done.

Most of the time though I use it like a primer under my foundation of choice.

I love that this product is an all in one so it enhances and mattifies your skin while leaving it luminious and healthy looking.

And since it contains SPF it’s protecting your skin as well.

This product is perfect for those of you like myself with large pores and oily skin as this product really takes care of both of those problems, but it’s also hydrating so I’m sure it would work for those of you with drier skin as well.

Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal $36.00

What they say:

The first-ever naturally derived silicone based concealer,
Treat & Conceal hydrates, covers and protects with powerful
treatment benefits.

My thoughts:

I heart this concealer. You can use it under your eyes as well as on your face and it’s amazing. It minimizes the appearance of fine lines and puffiness. I seriously look a good 5 years younger when using this product just because of those reasons alone. I also tried it as an eyeshadow primer and it works great for that as well. If you’re looking for a new concealer I would suggest you give this one a try.

Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF20 $34.00

What they say:

Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF20 is a high performance tinted treatment body enhancer with a naturally derived silicone base plus antioxidants zeros in on your body’s skincare concerns to give skin a total transformation. It’s definitely not just another moisturizer. Transform the appearance of arms, legs and décolleté – you’ll see a difference instantly: Skin looks smoother, firmer, and totally flawless.

My Thoughts:

I used this product on a date night with the hubby this past weekend and I could tell such a difference in my skin. It felt so soft and smooth and just looked flawless.

Overall, I’d say out of the three products that the concealer is my favorite or maybe it’s the skin transformer or the concealer, I don’t know they’re all lovely.

The Skin Transformer Products can be purchased at Sephora or online here.

I’m loving Charlize Theron’s look from last nights Golden Globes.

She looked amazing with very natural eye makeup and glowing skin.

I heard her say her secret to great skin is Cetaphil for cleansing and La Roche-Posay SPF 50 everyday of the year.

Whatever she’s using it works because she looks better every time I see her.

Which celebrity was your favorite last night?

Please share!

I just received my January Birchbox and I have to say this is my favorite one so far.

Check it out below….

1. Cherry Pie LaraBar

I love Larabars so I was more than happy to get this sample. No artificial fillers in these natural bars: just dried fruits, nuts, and other wholesome ingredients. Healthy and Tasty.

2. Clark’s Botanicals Smoothing Marine Cream

Dull skin no more, thanks to the glycolic acid in this exfoliating moisturizer. The gentle tingle means its working.

3. Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Blue Ribbon

This waterproof eye liner makes eyes stand out and stays put for hours.

4. Archipelago Pomegranate Body Soap

Laced with good for you pomegranate extracts, this triple milled soap smells divine and leaves skin feeling clean, not stripped.

5. Juicy Couture Juicy Couture

Juicy’s signature fragrance is a blend of sweet floral notes. Sophisticated and feminine, it’s perfect for day or night. Love it!

This box was perfect for me. Like I mentioned above it’s my favorite box to date.

I love the Stila liner, the Clarks Botanicals product sounds promising, the Pomegranate soap and Juicy Couture fragrance both smell amazing and the Lara Bar was delicious!

If you’re a BB subscriber, what did you receive in your birchbox this month?

Not a BB subscriber? Have you tried any of these products before?

What did you think?

As always I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I just got back from a place I don’t visit often, WalMart.

I don’t know why I just prefer Target, but WalMart was on the way home and I was in major need of a space heater.

I live in the Sunshine state, but it’s hit freezing temperatures two nights in a row now and this girl is freezing, brrrrr.

After quickly finding the space heaters it was time to do something fun so I made a stop by the Makeup Aisle because I mean how could I not?

I didn’t end up buying anything, but I did take some pictures of several newer items to share with you.

Maybelline Illegal Lengths Mascara.

Build Lashes with 4mm of Measurable Extensions.

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadows.

Skinny Girl Makeup Products.

I’m interested in trying the new mascara, but I have so many right now I passed on picking it up.

Truth be told I’ll end up picking it up very soon though so watch for a review.

Have you tried any of these products yet?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on them!

Best,

Too Faced Cosmetics Fans will be excited to learn the Spring 2012 Collection titled, The Natural Beauty,will be launching tomorrow on toofaced.com.

Check out the video below to catch a glimpse of a few of the products you’ll find in the new collection.

Look what came in the mail yesterday!

My Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette finally arrived and I love it!

The shades included in the Naked 2 Palette are:

Foxy
Half Baked (permanent and also in original Naked Palette)
Chopper (permanent)
Suspect (repromote)
Verve (repromote)
YDK (permanent)
Blackout (repromote)
Bootycall
Tease
Snakebite
Pistol
Busted

Here are some comparison images of the first Naked Palette and Naked 2 and then I’ll tell you which one I prefer and if I think you need both.

It’s a gorgeous palette isn’t it?

But I know the number one question on your mind is do I need both?

And I have two answers for you, lol.

If you are a low maintenance girl who doesn’t own a lot of makeup then no you don’t “need” both, but if you’re a makeup addict/artist/collector/lover like myself then yes you do.

I think this palette is different enough from the first one that you should own both.

To me the original naked palette is more summery warm shades and this one is more wintery cool shades.

So which one do I prefer?

If you are only going to pick up one naked palette I would say that 2 is my favorite by far.

I just love the shades tease, pistol and verve in the new palette so gorgeous.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

If you own both I’d love to hear which one’s your favorite.

Best,

Here’s a little story I’m sure you’ll all appreciate, lol.

I was so excited about the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette being released today that I was up at 12:00 am….1:00 am….2:00am etc….etc. checking the site to see if it was up for sale yet….nothing.

Then I was up bright and early….6:00 am….7:00….

Nothing then at 1:00 I get the email and I run to the computer which is already logged in and ready to go put it in my cart and I’m checking out.

Well, all of you ladies must have gotten the email too because the site crashed at least 10 times.

But wait I finally hit submit and after waiting for what seemed like forever the site crashes again!!

Did I get it? What’s going on?

I finally got a confirmation email that says I got it!!

I hope that’s true after all the crap I just went through.

I guess we’ll see in a few days.

I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Anyone else up all night waiting on the launch?

Did you get one?

I’d love to hear your stories.
