FANTASIA HEAT PROTECTANT


FANTASIA HEAT PROTECTANT

PRICE: 8.99 US
PACKAGING: 4 out of 5
OVERALL: 5 out of 5
REPURCHASE? YES.

Hello hello! So here I am with a full on review of my heat protectant, which is one of the popular items that you youtube viewers ask about. Let me tell you, before I even used this, my hair was horrible! This helped me a lot with the protecting part, let me tell ya.

This contains silicone, vitamin E, aloe and sunscreen. It's important for you to have sunscreen in your hair as you're out in the sun, and it is directing direct sunlight and heat to your hair. The silicone acts like a glove, grabbing your hair, making it silky and smooth. That's taking the hurting rather than your hair when you're using your hot tools such as the flat irons or curling irons. It's like a hair condom, not to be too vulgar. :D LOL.

Can be purchased here.



So! I explain everything in this video below. Have a look! :D

BEFORE AND AFTER MAKE UP

I remember once when my uncle came around 7 in the morning and I let him in. Keeping in mind that I had no make up whatsoever, AND that I just woke up, I didn't look like I usually do. He's used to seeing me at least half decent, haha. So the next day my sister came to me and said, "*uncle* said that you looked so different,"

L.O.L.

Yes, I had to spread that out. I think I do look different without make up. So, when my friend called me and asked if I wanted to grab lunch with him on short notice, I decided to make a before and after make up video. I didn't know that I look completely different, and I have to say, make up really really enhances your natural beauty. xD


MAYBELLINE MINERAL POWDER (LIQUID) REVIEW


(Boy does that picture look kinda small... LOL)

MAYBELLINE MINERAL POWDER (LIQUID)

PRICE: $8 - 10 US
PACKAGING: 4 out of 5
APPLICATION: 5 out of 5
OVERALL: 5 out of 5
REPURCHASE: HELL YES! :D



If you follow my videos on youtube, you will know that I have a hard time with acne and what not. I've used MAC's studio fix, which broke me out. Powder and liquid, mind you. And don't let me get started with Bare Escentuals! They broke me out like no other during high school. If only I can change back time.

PROS

This foundation is THE BEST foundation! I find that it works best with my MAC 187 brush. It hasn't broke me out yet, doesn't clog my pores AT ALL. It's a buildable foundation. It hides my scars really well. I've noticed, my sister AND mom too!, that I don't have a lot of blemishes any more. In fact, they're clearing up! Only scars are left and an ocassional bump when the monthly flow - ;D - comes in, that's it! Thank gawd for that. It's worth a try! It's a damn good drugstore foundation I have ever tried! I'm just in love with Maybelline's foundations! I also recommend the SuperStay foundation. :D Now, I'm a matte type of girl, so this gives me a dewy look. I just slab on a powder (MAC MSF) and BAM! I'm all good for the day.

CONS

I find that if you don't have a stipling brush like the MAC 187, it WILL, no doubt, streak on you. Don't overload your face with the product, go leisurely at first. Then build up. The packaging is another story, it's an eye dropper type of packaging. I would like it if it was in a container like the MAC's liquid foundations where it has a pump, but this is fine, also. Other than that, I have nothing to complain about!

I really suggest you guys buy this. Check out my foundation routine on youtube, where I used this product. :D

UPDATE

Hey everyone who reads my blog. LOL. I have no idea if anyone reads this, but hey. It's worth a shot. I just want to give everyone a little update on what videos are coming up!

I'm will be talking about my hair a little bit more since a lot of you have been asking about it. I'm definitly going to do a video on my Fantasia Heat Protectant Serum. Everyone's talking about it, and I'm always raving about it. I just love their products! Everyone took my advice and bought it, they LOVED it! Yay!

Any-hoots. School is starting in a week. September 2, I believe. So get ready for some more updates! LOL. Talk about procrastination!

In other news, I just wanted to give a special thanks to thatgirl887 and my friend, Churro. Yes, Churro. LOL. That's a nickname we call him. They made me banners, and I'll be sure to put that girl887's up as soon as next week. I'm going to alternate! LOL

But other than that, I just wanted to thank all my subscribers. :D

I'm very random at times, but don't you hate it when you're uploading something on youtube and all of the sudden it goes to a "Problem loading page" sign or somethign like that? UGH. ): I'm in the process of uploading a video for you folks and I get that. Maybe I'll try later.

I need to cut my hair this is how long it's getting.


That's one of my best friends in the back, she's the best. But look at my hair! I seriously need to cut it. LOL. And if you're wondering, she kicked my ass in pool. LOL.

Okay, that's all for now, folks! I'm going to do a few reviews soon. And if you read my past reviews, they are very, very detailed! LOL.

VERY NATURAL EYES

Now, a lot of men likes women who doesn't wear make up. Really? Gorgeous women who doesn't wear make up are the ones who shows their true self. REALLY? I've been reading about and That's what I come across a lot. So, let me say, Those "natural" women most likely "enhance" themselves. Who doesn't?! Not all of us are blessed like Jessica Alba. She's gorgeous! Here is a tutorial on how to be natural while using make up. If you see, My eyes are wider, bigger and more awake when I tight-lined my eyes. It's all about the eyeliner, girls. (:


AUTUMN EYES

Autumn's coming up, folks! Boy, let me tell you. I hate summer because it's so hot! Now, I love the cold, I love how you'd be all bundled up all warm when I wake up. Hell, I love to feel the cold so much, I'm wearing spaghetti shirts during the winter, LOL. Something about wearing long sleeved or short sleeved shirts makes me feel weird. So here's an eyeshadow look, pictures in the end. The main color was yellow and brown, considering that's what I see when I look outside when it's fall.


FOUDNATION ROUTINE

So I've been asked about my foundation routine quiet a bit lately. Let me tell you this first: If you watch my videos, you'd hear me talk about my blemishes, acne and such. Well! Let's all put our hands together and say for some reason, they're dying down! Weee! What is my secret? Well, I haven't figured it out yet, as I didn't change anything so drastic. I haven't been using any new face scrubs or such. But let me tell you, if you're looking for a new face scrub, I would suggest Neutrogena's Acne Stress Control. It's the green one, and it exfoliates your skin, and it helps A LOT. Let me tell you, I had these two huge bumps on my face, and I hated it. I recently found my travel sized one out of the blue (it was forgotten and left in my train case) and used it. After two days, it died down. What a relief! It's great. But I haven't been buying it lately, but be assured that I will be doing a review on it soon!

Anyway! As for my foundation, I did change what I used. I now use Maybelline's Mineral Powder, the liquid one. I will be doing a full on review in a separate entry. But this entry is just talking about my foundation routine. Now, let me tell you, I have TONS and TONS of scars. I use Clinique's Line Smoothing Concealer. That thing is a miracle worker! I absolutely love this. A great alternative to this is Almay's Blemish Concealer. With Mimi's (d0rkstra)'s foundation routine when I first saw it, I just had to try it. It works just as well as Clinique's. But I have to say, I LOVE Clinique's so much better, as it hides my under eyes and scars a bit more.

MAC's MSF, Mineralize Skin Finish, works wonders! It's baked, and mineralized, so it's meant to be "good" for your skin. Does it work? Hell yes! Let's just say that I've tried their foundations, and hello break out city! But this doesn't make me break out at all, which I loved. I have to admit, however. MAC is GREAT with the different color variety with choosing what color foundation is for you.

Other than that, I have nothing else to say about my face. LOL. Here's a video for you guys if you'd like to see how I apply my foundation. (:
