Product Review: Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Anti-aging Oil Free Cream

Posted on November 25, 2013 by jinelleloves

I’m an oily skin girl living in a winter dry world. I’m oily all over but come fall/winter my skin starts to dry up around my mouth, chin and nose. I spent hours on Sephora.com reading reviews, ratings and product descriptions looking for a moisturizer to get me though the season. I found the Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Anti-aging Oil Free Cream and I’m happy to say we are a match!

This cream absorbs quickly, does not leave me feeling greasy, has an SPF of 25, is cruelty free, has no parabens and has plenty of natural oils to hydrate and so much more. If you are an oily skin person looking for some extra moisture without all the fuss I suggest you give this a whirl. I purchased this on Sephora.com for $55. Keep in mind I don’t use very much and concentrate the product on dryer areas. I am still pretty oily on my forehead and cheeks.

Beauty Tip: Skin that is well exfoliated will drink up moisture better.

Here is the link to the cream on Sephora

Lorea’l Nail Color in Rough Around the Edges #139

Posted on November 14, 2013 by jinelleloves

What a beautiful alternative to black polish. I’ll be keeping this in my collection for a while.

This polish contains gold and silver glitter and feels like sand paper on the nails. You can definitely count this as a texture polish.

This is limited edition, purchased from CVS.

Beauty Blog: Urban Decay Naked3 Palette is HERE!

Posted on November 12, 2013 by jinelleloves

UPDATE: So I was able to place an order on Urbandecay.com on November 21. I received an email from Urban Decay saying the Naked 3 was now in stock and to place an order. I did so at 10:15 AM PST. A few hours later the item was out of stock and is still showing out of stock online. It’s 11/24 5:43 PM PST. Sign up for email on the Urban Decay site if you want to be the first to know when they are back in stock. Good luck!

Original Post:

What does it take for you to get naked? Not much for me. Urban Decay will soon release their Naked3 Palette. This new product is inspired by rose gold hues. The case is beautiful and the shades are more warmer. All brand new shades too! Would you buy this just to have it or can you see yourself using these shades on a daily basis? I’d like to hear your opinion below.

I’ve heard this is set to release in December but I’ve also heard they are waiting for January. I wouldn’t be surprised if they release this on the Urban Decay site first and then waited to allow Sephora to sell it. If you want first hand access you should sign up for the Urban Decay email list.

October 2013 Beauty Favorites (shopped my stash)

Posted on November 5, 2013 by jinelleloves

Every now and then I’ll shop my stash and fall back in love with some beauty items.

MAC Blush in Melba- This peachy pink compliments many skin tones. Tends to leave a “glow” on me.

Laura Gellar Blush-n-Brighten in Apricot Berry- I received this in my very first Birchbox. That’s how they win you. It’s a beautiful shade of berry with a built in highlighter.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfection in Opal- This is a sample I received from a blogger conference. It’s more of a subtle sheen on my skin. I appreciate natural highlighters during the weekends and work.

Clinique Quickliner in Dark Chocolate-I love this liner and so glad I found it in some drawer. It’s almost finished so I’ll be picking up a new one during the Sephora VIB sale. This liner is rich in pigment and lasts all day. Plus no sharpening.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Liner in 005 NUDE- Do you know how long it took for me to find this? Months. So happy I have it, makes my eyes look perky and awake. It’s very pigmented, goes on smooths and lasts for hours.

Clinique Different Lipstick in Shy & Guava Stain – I just remembered that I love these. This collection is a variety of sheer lipsticks. They look natural on and provide just enough color while providing so much moisture. Another favorite shade of mine is called Tender-heart. I need to repurchase that ASAP. It’s a nude pink/brown. Shy is the first swatch above, followed by Guava Stain then the Nars Lip gloss in Chihuahua.

Nars Lip gloss in Chihuahua- This gloss reminds me of the Clinique tender heart lipstick, same shade different formula.

DKNY Be Delicious- I know it’s not spring or summer but I’ve been craving a clean yummy scent so I pulled this back out of my stash. It’s one of the only scents that does not annoy me.

Tarte lights, camera, lashes! – I received this as a sample in my last Sephora haul. I love this. It makes me look like I have more lashes, each is defined, volumized and plush looking. I would totally purchase this on my own.
