DISAPPOINTING PRODUCT - PACIFICA MINERAL BB CREAM

Hello there my beautiful friends. Hope your having a wonderful week so far and if not just remember that it's Christmas next week! Today I have another review type post but this time I know I don't like the product. I have my first disappointing product post. I got this post idea from Chrissy over at ChrissyLilly(link is in my most recent share the love) I don't know if this will be a series or not but you can let me know. This is just going to be a short little post so lets get started// 

This is a disappointing product review but I do have to mention one good thing, its all natural and cruelty free. Which is amazing, I think. Now onto the actual review..

*This is a sample size that came in my Ipsy bag a while back but the full size is $16 for 30ml.*

...the first things first, this has absolutely NO coverage. It is just like a moisturizer with shimmer. It does say on the website to not expect a full coverage foundation but I wasn't expecting it to be nothing.  

To make things worse its greasy! Plus it has full on shimmer making you more shiny. Not good for oily skin types. It would be good if you have dry skin but that's it, if you have any shine this will not work. 

This product wouldn't be that bad as it does live up to the claims of natural beauty, weightless, effortless and that its a tint but it is not very shade matching. Its sheer so it doesn't matter all that much but its very dark actually. It also find it doesn't diminish the appearance of uneven skintone, pores or fine lines. If anything the shimmer enhances them! 

*Note: It has a ton of skin-nourishing ingredients so that's a bonus but I feel you could find a more quality product with the same benefits*

Overall, this product did not work for me. If you just want a slight, slight, slight tint of color and need some moisture in your skin it could work for you but other than that, don't waste your $16 on this product and save for a better quality one. 

That's it for today my lovelies. I hope you enjoyed this little, quick review. I know Pacifica isn't a very popular brand but they just recently started making makeup so I thought I'd let you guys know about one of their products.

WINTER WONDERLAND TAG- C2CC

Hello there my beautiful friends. Today I have another Christmas/Holiday tag. I first saw this tag on Shonas' blog or http://freshbeautyxox.blogspot.ca/ but it was created by the wonderful girl over at The Cute Little Beauty Blog. I did do another tag or the Christmas Tag in November but since its almost Christmas I thought I'd do another. There are only 10 questions so lets get into it...

What Winter holiday do you celebrate?

Christmas!

What is the one item you hope to receive as a present for Christmas?

Like any other beauty blogger, I would love to receive the Naked 3 Palette! Its just so beautiful!

Gingerbread cookies or candy canes?

Gingerbread cookies for sure! I like candy canes but gingerbread wins by far!

Snowball fights or Sledding?

Umm... believe it or not I've never had a snowball fight so I don't know how I like it. I don't really like the thought of cold ice flakes getting whipped at me so I guess sledding.

What is your go to Winter outfit?

Inside, definitely pajama bottoms and a sweater with fuzzy socks and slippers. I like being warm!

Outside, jeans with boots and chunky sweater!

What are your favourite Winter/Holiday makeup items?

Definitely moisturizer and a hydrating concealer like the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer.

Does it snow where you live?

Not a whole lot but we do get a couple days a year of snow!

What is your favourite Christmas song/holiday song?

I honestly don't have a favorite. I love them all from Michael Buble to Mariah Carey to Ariana Grande

What is your favourite holiday movie?

Ooh... another difficult one. I guess I would say ELF or Christmas With the Kranks!

What are your favourite holiday decorations?

Obviously the christmas tree, but besides that the lights! They are just so magical and joyful. They are what add the perfect finishing touch to your decorations!

I don't have anyone specifically to tag so I tag anyone reading this that wants to do it. It was actually quite fun to write up. Hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday!

NYX XTREME LIP CREME IN NATURAL

Hello there my beautiful friends. How are you this fabulous Sunday? Its almost the start of the last week before Christmas! Crazy, right? Today I bring you a review, I don't do these very often. Before I bought this lip product I tried finding reviews on it but I couldn't find very many so I thought this may be useful to some one who are in my situation. Let me know what you think of this picture quality, I spent a long time editing and taking the pictures to make them the best I could in the low light. Lets get into the review!

This lip creme is a very thick, opaque gloss/liquid lipstick. It almost feels like the Rimmel Apocalips/Show Offs but a little thicker. It is most definitely not a runny product. It can be very sticky and gooey if too much is applied. It is definitely very pigmented which is great but because of that it feels heavy on the lips. 

This shade looks like a light pink in the tube and when swatched but when on lips it looks very nude. It almost makes me look sick or dead. It may just be my skin tone, I am usually the second or third lightest shade in foundation/concealer. Its not unwearable but it could be hard to pull off for some people. 

The wear time of this product is average I'd say. Since it is very thick and shiny it almost feels as though it slides off the lips. It does come off on cups and food so be careful of that. I'd say the longevity is average for a lipstick. I'm sure the matte lip creams would last much longer but I haven't had the chance to try those.

One note I have to say about this is that it tends to gather in the inner part of your lip and the outer corners. So when you move your mouth you can see slight strings of it. I'm sure this can be fixed by just using less of the product and sheering it out. 

Overall this product is decent. I will continue to use it but I won't be my number one choice of a lip product. Its just a little too thick and gloppy for everyday use. I like the pigmentation of this product but for this color its a little too much, I would opt for the darker shades in this. 

Hope this review was helpful in some way. If you got this in the red shade, it would be a perfect holiday color. Merry Christmas everyone!

First off, I just want to say she is so nice and helpful. She really helped me with blog design tips and didn't get annoyed with me(or at least she didn't show it, ahah). Her blog design is simple and easy to navigate so you will never be overwhelmed with buttons and pictures. Her pictures are absolutely stunning as well and so is she! Her blog posts are short but quality information. If you are short on time but want a blog to read, hers would be amazing as her posts are short. You will never leave a post without learning something. Life, Set Sail is an amazing read!

If you are in a weight loss journey, check out her Weight Loss Wednesday posts. If you want some blogging tips, check out her blogging tips section.
