Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have been testing out a brand new mascara from Ilia for well over a month now. I had to keep it top secret since it is brand new to the Ilia line and they sent it to me via Pinchme in exchange for my honest review and you can sign up for pinchme as well. If you sign up and fill out surveys from time to time they may match you with your very own beauty product. I have been testing out another mascara earlier this summer from PUR that review is here. I did enjoy the PUR mascara however that was not until I tried the Ilia Fullest Voluminzg Mascara did I understand what clean mascara can be. These past few months I have been on a search for the best mascaras and I now have found one that is a clean brand and it actually performs so well even in heat and humidity (where as PUR did not perform well when the humidity came into play). Below I will leave you back round information on the Illia Fullest Volmuzing Mascara as well as the review I had left for Pinchme. Remember this is going to debut on Sephora's website on August 4, 2021 and costs $28.00.

 Illia Fullest Volumizing Mascara is my absolute favorite mascara! 

Information from Ilia:  Illia Fullest Volumizing Mascara wraps each lash in fullness, thickness, and volume with a smudge-free, flake-free formula that washes off easily at the end of the day. Built-in haircare actives help to nourish and fortify lashes with each swipe.

What it is: A clean volumizing mascara that wraps each lash in weightless, buildable volume without flaking, smudging, or irritating even the most sensitive eyes.     

What it does: The violin-shaped brush thickens and defines lashes from root to tip with fluffy, flexible fullness you can’t miss. Active levels of haircare ingredients promote stronger, healthier-looking lashes with every coat. Smudge-free, flake-free, and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.             

Key Ingredients:

- Arginine: Supports stronger, healthier-looking lashes

- Provitamin B5: Nourishes to promote thicker-looking lashes

- Weightless Wax Blend: Adds full, flexible body without the weight

My review that I left for Pinchme, Sephora and Illia's websites:

The Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara is perfection. I have been using this for well over a month since the day it arrived and I have never looked back. I had been on mission to find the perfect mascara after struggling with the one that I thought was good but now with Illia Fullest Volume I think my search for a good clean mascara has come to an end. This one glides on perfectly grabbing every lash and bumping up the volume to a twelve and I am beyond impressed. It never flaked, smudged or smeared like other clean beauty mascaras. It lasted all day and I mean a 16 hour day without any issues and never irritated my eyes. The applicator brush found every tiny lash and made it count. everyone needs this mascara is their makeup routine because it is good for your lashes. I never lost one while wearing it or when removing it after a long day in fact my lashes are healthier a month later then when they started. Also it never smudged like other clean mascaras in heat and humidity. I have tossed my previous clean mascara to the side and I am going to repurchase two of these to always have one and an back up!

Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial

Beauty Bag Dolls I have an inside look to Drunk Elephant's newest addition! That's right they are launching a new mask and it doesn't drop until January 1, 2020 but I have a first look at this just dropped product and let me tell you its something you absolutely need if your like me and suffer from dry winter skin! The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is a cooling, skin-quenching over night mask that plumps and restores the balance of hydration and moisturizer levels to overly-parched and stressed skin. That description right there had me. The day this arrived I had been complaining for a few days already that after I would come home from a long day and remove my makeup my skin would still feel dry even after moisturizing. I kept saying my skin needs something more. I didn't know what so I tried those hydrating sprays and it worked for a few minutes but then by bed time my skin still felt tight and dry even my acne prone usually oily skin felt dry. However the day this arrived changed everything. Read on to learn more about my experience with Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is what your skin needs this winter!

The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is made with Drunk Elephant's "4-electrolyte blend that helps restore the water content of skin while protecting against its loss, which makes the lipids, ceramides and oils in the formula even more effect at the job of keeping skin soft and supple." Now as I menetioned my skin has been so dry lately. Of course I must say it has been snowing where I am from, the temps are so cold and the heat is turned up in our home so I know that, that does play a roll in my skin loosing moisture. Even with moisturizer applications my skin can't keep up so when I got my hands on this and I did my usual nighttime routine which includes using one pump of Framboos, BHydra, Marula and Protini on any giving night my skin still needed more so as my last step I use about 3 pumps of the brand new  Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial and it went on nicly and did not feel heavy, greasy or slimly like some other night masks. It was indeed cooling and didn't ball up or feel tacky. I was really excited when I went to bed and woke to see it didn't ruin my pillow case and when I looked in the mirror my skin looked plump! It felt hydrated and glowed. It was also so very soft I did not want to wash it to take away the softness and clarity. F-Balm was doing its job and each night I used it to only see better results. Throughout the day my skin didn't loose its hydration, it still felt soft versus the tightness I had been feeling before starting to use F-Balm each night. For the first time in my life my skin was neither oily nor dry it was just soft and dewy! The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is a beauty bag must have that gets a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

I knew before the F-Balm came into my skincare routine that I was missing something but now with this extra hydration and cooling my skincare routine is complete! 

As I mentioned this drops on Drunk Elephant.com and Sephora.com on January 1, 2020 and will cost $52 which is worth every dollar!

Drunk Elephant The Littles

Beauty Bag Dolls I have a review for you from one of my favorite brands Drunk Elephant. Let me tell you their skincare has done wonders for my skin and I will not go back to anything with the suspicious 6 ingredients in them now a little background information if you are new to Drunk Elephant skincare is that this brand has removed what they call the "suspicious six" from their ingredient deck which includes Essential Oils, Drying Alcohols, Silicones, Chemical Screens, Fragrance/Dyes and SLS. What I am reviewing today is the Drunk Elephant The Littles. This are absolutely the perfect size for you travel with, try Drunk Elephant out for the first time with or gift to a college kid who has minimal space in their dorm room but want to keep a skincare routine that works. Please do read on to learn more about this packed travel bag of Drunk Elephant's The Littles.

If your looking for a new skincare routine or packing for a vacation Drunk Elephant The Littles has everything you need! These are a beauty bag must have!

Every great skincare routine does start with a great cleanser and Drunk Elephant The Littles included  the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is amazing. It dissolved on my makeup and didn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry just soft and clean. I used this each night and followed up with the T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum directly on my face and pressed it in. This did tingle a little bit the first 3 nights I applied and never tingled after that. It sank into my skin nicely and I waited about a minute before applying my For me a multivitamin eye cream is a dream. I always want to apply something at night that will help my eye area brighten up my dark circles and keep the area firm. The Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream is described as a "rich and restorative, featuring a brightening combination of eight peptides, five forms of vitamin C and cucumber extract for firmer, stronger-looking skin around the eye area." Now don't be intimidated by the word rich (if your like me with oily eyelids the word rich is scary) because it is so fast absorbing that you will apply it and it will quickly sink in.  Each night and day I topped off the serum step by taking a scooped of the The Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream truly helps, it absorbs quickly which is great in the AM when you apply makeup after and in the evening when I like to combine it with the B-Hydra Intensive Serum and or I would mix in Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil because I need extra hydration. In the mornings I topped that with the Umbra Tinte Daily Defense SPF 30.  In the AM I omitted the T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum and instead used it with one pump of the C-Firma Day Serum and one pump of the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. Everyone needs to adjust what they use when for their own skin type and your personal routine, this is just mine and my results were jaw dropping. I want to also note inside the cute blue travel bag is instructions to guide you to your perfect Drunk Elephant Skincare routine!

I want to also mention that since beginning to use the Drunk Elephant brand in January of this year  I didn't have any acne breakouts and in fact they had healed up and my skin was balanced for the first time in a very long time! The Drunk Elephant line has even healed up some old acne marks I had that I thought would never go away! I honestly have not use to many other brands since starting Drunk Elephant  I credit getting rid of the suspicious 6 really calmed my skin and made it healthy and glowing! I am beyond thrilled!

The Drunk Elephant The Littles are a beauty bag must (included in this set is a cute travel bag to pack your littles in it) that I will not be without. They are the perfect size to take with you so you are never without them they are a 5 $$$$$ and they get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

primera Clean Berry Lip Balm

I am such a lip balm and tinted lip balm lover that when I saw the primera Clean Berry Lip Balm in the pink shade I flipped because pink is my number one shade of lip balm, lip stick and lip gloss that I wear 70% of the time!  I also was so happy that this is a clean at Sephora brand which means it is formulated without a list of over 50 ingredients, including sulfates (SLS and SLES), parabens, phthalates, and more. The primera brand is one of my new favorites since trying their Mild Facial Peeling Gel which you can read that review here. Read on to learn more about my new favorite Primera Clean Berry Lip Balm.

The Primera Clean Berry Lip Balm in pink pictured on the right is everything! I just love the long lasting hydration and beautiful color! A Beauty Bag Must Have!

Primera describes the Clean Berry Lip Balm as a "hydrating, velvety balm with nourishing seaberry and botanical waxes softens and smooths dry lips; while imparting a veil of sheer pink shine." My lips love this lip balm. The are soft and supple for hours while wearing it and for hours after it wear off. The color is pink perfection for my skin tone. Not over powering or competing with my makeup or if I wear no makeup it have just this beautiful hint of pink on my lips. The moisturizing factor in this balm is perfect not too tacky just right. I cannot get over how amazing this lip balm is. Primera knocked it out of the park with this but I haven't tried a terrible product from the brand. I know my collection will be growing and I want this balm in other shades as well as just a clear shade because it is just that good! I also want to note that this lip balm has a scent to that is just so yummy and the best way for me to describe it is that it is a citrus scent like a lemon. The primera Clean Berry Lip Balm is a 5 $$$$$ and I need at least 4 of these around me so it also gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
