COOLA Primer & Setting Spray

Hello #BeautyBagDolls I am going to bring you a duel review today of two product from a brand that I have come to know, love and trust when it comes to SPF protection. The brand is of course COOLA. They are brand I first learned about a while ago and I used the sun protection all the time when heading out doors but now I am learning about their skincare line for the face. Their newest products are the COOLA Daydream Mineral Primer and The COOLA Makeup Setting Spray.
COOLA has you covered with SPF all while helping you keep your makeup on longer. A beauty bag must have!

I start my makeup routine with a primer and now I have a primer that makes it even easier because the COOLA Daydream Mineral Primer has SPF 30 in it which means I am being protected with SPF each time I apply this before my makeup. The COOLA Daydream Mineral Primer silky smooth formula shields your skin with our signature Plant Protection and mineral broad spectrum SPF 30, while a bouquet of Honeysuckle, White Lily and Iris Stem Cells instantly enhances overall skin quality." I noticed immediately that my skin was silky smooth and my pores were blurred but I truly love that my skin was so smooth I can easily apply my concealer and foundation. For several days I only used the  COOLA Daydream Mineral Primer and makeup seemed to stay I only had to reapply my highlighter after about 9 hours because I love a nice glow to my skin but I now have to admit that after I added the COLLA Makeup Setting Spray I never had to reapply even my highlighter. That truly made my makeup all day wear! The COOLA Makeup Setting Spray is something you have to use if your tired of your makeup melting off your face. This is "the first ever SPF 30 Makeup Setting Spray. A simple spritz of our weightless, matte finish mist protects the sensitive skin of your face while keeping your makeup looking fresh all day." I have to attest that it is a matte finish which is what I want in a makeup setting spray and it truly does keep your makeup on and fresh all day, you can even reapply just to boost the SPF 30 coverage on you face. I am so in love with that fact, SPF 30 in a setting spray. This formula also has "Cucumber and Aloe Vera Extracts to help soothe and refresh skin while Hyaluronic Acid, known to bind moisture, helps to soften, tone and rehydrate skin. A powerhouse of Peony Leaf, Juniper Berry and Phoenix Leaf Stem Cells reinforces the skin barrier and provides antioxidant protection. Set, restore and protect with confidence knowing our 70% + organic formula has you covered!"  I am so thrilled with the COOLA Makeup Setting Spray and in combination with the Daydream Mineral Primer you makeup is an unstoppable duo and two beauty bag musts. I give both a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop COOLA to purchase.

appriya Skincare

I have some very special skincare to tell you about my #BeautyBagDolls It is a line of skincare called appriya which is transformative skincare made with a key ingredient which is appriya water. A little back round information on this water is " Appriya water is rich in restorative natural nano like particles. These biodegradable nano like particles dissolve into the skin, enhancing the efficiency of each product’s active ingredients and ensuring a perfect and even application of every cream, serum and tonic." I am happy that I got to review for all of you 3 complimentary products which are the appriya Mineral Complex Serum, appriya Delicate Zone Mineral Serum and the appriya Comprehensive Mineral Day & Night Cream. These can all be purchased here @ https://appriya.com/
The perfect skincare routine to have glowing skin! appriya skincare is a Beauty Bag Must!




When these arrived I immediately began using all three pieces according to their instructions. They are all used twice daily day and night and the serums are for specific areas. The appriya Mineral Complex Serum is used after cleansing and is applied in a circular motion to face and neck. I used two pumps and it felt amazing on my skin. It absorbed quickly did not irritate my sensitive acne prone skin. I had glow to my skin within 3 days of using this. I looked in the mirrior and my skin was immediately hydrated. Mineral Complex Serum contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide formulated to target skin tone and texture. Which I saw results from because my acne scaring  diminished. To learn more and purchase visit  https://appriya.com/product/mineral-complex-serum/   I then followed up with appriya Delicate Zone Mineral Serum which is used around the eyes, neck and décolleté which are all areas that show the signs of aging for me. After using this for just 5 days I saw my fine lines around my eyes diminish and soften. My neck and décolleté were very impressive. I only used one pump twice a day and I saw such a difference it made me smile. I used this as my targeted skincare in the areas suggested and I am floored at the results. appriya  Delicate Zone Mineral Serum is filled with anti-aging plant stem cells as well as anti-oxidants including restorative Nano Q-10, to diminish fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate areas of the eyes, neck and décolleté for a refreshed, youthful complexion. A fresh complextion is exactly what I got and I had no acne breakouts when using this which for me is worth its weight in gold. Buy your appriya Delicate Zone Mineral Serum here @ https://appriya.com/product/delicate-zone-mineral-serum/ After applying the two different serums which only took about a minute I waited around 45 seconds just out of habit because they absorbed in seconds I then applied the appriya Comprehensive Mineral Day & Night Cream which has  Vitamins A, E and B5. The our Comprehensive Mineral Day & Night Cream boosts elasticity while fading wrinkles and age spots. I used this twice daily. One pump in the morning and one at night. My face, neck and chest absorbed it quickly and it was not sticky or heavy which is a must for me. I had skin that looked fresh and luminous. After about a week it was firm and hydrated. This entire routine not only addressed my skin signs of aging but it healed my acne scars. My skin was hydrated and healthy! To buy the appriya Comprehensive Mineral Day & Night Cream visit here @ https://appriya.com/product/comprehensive-mineral-day-night-cream/ For every reason mentioned above I give all three pieces of the appriya skincare a 5 $$$$$ they are not only a BEAUTY BAG MUST but a staple in my skincare routine! I will not be without even when traveling I am dedicated to this skincare routine!

Genie Beauty Part 1-Makeup

Good Morning #BeautyBagDolls today I am more excited than I have ever been to bring you part one of a series of reviews of the fabulous brand Genie Beauty that sent a complimentary box full of their makeup, skincare and beauty tools for me to review for you. I am just so excited to share my thoughts with all of you and for you to learn about this incredible line so learn more and purchase these product here @ https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_products_splash.asp
These Genie Beauty Products are a Beauty Bag Must Have!

Today's review is a makeup review. I am going to start with the foundation and in no particular order I am letting you know now I am in love with all forms of Genie Beauty Products Foundations. It all for me depends on the type of coverage I need for that day. I grabbed the Genie Beauty Line Smoothing Foundation first. It says that you will a flawless, fresh finish and it delivered! It is available in 6 shades and they are easy to choose. I knew that the light was going to be perfect for me when I saw the bottle. A little bit about this foundation it is formulated  with a "T-1 Complex (a powerful MMP inhibitor) with the dual peptide Matrixyl 3000 to help reduce free radical damage and improve your skin's tone and texture."  It has powerful anti-aging ingredients and SPF 15 built into the foundation. It designed to work with the Genie Instant Line Smoother (see upcoming review for this product in days to come, titled  Genie Beauty Skincare) and pairs beautifully with the Genie Cashmere Powder (review is in this post) I love this Line Smoothing Foundation because it is so lightweight and delivers on its line smoothing claim. I brought this up and around my eyes and it completely smooth's the fine lines and my skin looked flawless. None of my imperfection's (acne marks were evened out) showed through its blended easily and dried down instantly! Buy the Genie Beauty Line Smoothing Foundation here @  https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=6 I then did pair it wit the Genie Beauty Cashmere Powder which is so fine and feels wet and soft to the touch I can hardly believe it until I felt it my self. It glides right on and is infused with the Genie exclusive T-One complex, vitamin E soy protein and aloe vera. It is also triple milled so it has an ultra fine texture that makes if float on your skin which makes you look air brushed and luminous! I love it! It never settled in my fine lines and I used it alone and with the Genie Line Smoothing Foundation. In fact I keep the Genie Cashmere Powder in my beauty bag at all times for touch ups because I love how it makes my skin feel hydrated! I never thought I could say a powder make my skin feel hydrated! Buy yours today @ https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=55 The next product that you have to choose from when you switch to using Genie Beauty is the Genie Cashmere Mineral Foundation. You will have 8 shades to choose from and this foundation is game changing. I have been afraid of minerals because I was afraid they would settle into my fine lines, be drying and just not cover well forget that when you choose to use Genie Cashmere Mineral Foundation because it is the BEST mineral foundation I have ever tried! It is a buildable coverage that never makes you look shiny or caked on. It  goes so smooth and has a radiant finish! I love it! It makes me look like I have naturally beautiful skin. Never felt dry and covered even my freckles to my dark spots. It truly is the MUST HAVE Mineral Foundations and to learn more and buy yours visit @  https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=38 I give all three of these products a 5 $$$$$ for their ability to deliver the exact results you expect without making your skin look older or feel dry. Just a true coverage and staying power that last all day that doesn't make you feel like your wearing a ton of makeup. Good for your skin ingredients and SPF! Line smoothing technology that is all you need to look your best! Beauty bag musts! Buy them here @  https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_home_welcome.asp

The next product is blush. I am a person who has always been afraid of blush and anyone who has followed my blog knows this however I have softened to the fact that blush isn't bad and when you find the right one you will be a happy person. The Genie Beauty blush is the RIGHT ONE for me! It is a natural and beautiful blush that looks so great on! I got all three shades that Genie Beauty makes so trust me there is shade of blush for everyone from this makeup brand! I received shades: Sunset, Sunrise and the Genie Make Me Blush compact that is just amazing for not only your cheeks but for your lips as well. It is the one that goes from a cream to powder finish and it is buildable from a subtle sheer wash to as dramatic you would like it. The one I tried first was Genie Cashmere Blush in Sunset and this is a perfect shade for me to wear daily to work! I love it! I love Sunrise for a weekend look and right now with it being summer I love a good flush of color! I must say for me these are buildable blushes and you can even contour with these shades! They give you just a flush of color without over powering! I love how more youthful I appeared with them and they like the foundation don't settle on the skin they feel amazing! I give the a 5 $$$$$ for value and for being able to contour with a blush in a quick easy step! You must get your Cashmere Blush in one of two shades today @ https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=47 and the Genie Make Me Blush here @ https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=8

Next, is something that I was so looking forward to is the Genie Cashmere Color Correcting Powder, its no secret that I have acne and redness in my skin. I have tried a lot of product to conceal this and I can honestly say that nothing works as good as the Genie Cashmere Color Correcting Poweder. I am IN LOVE with it. You don't have to over think or use 5 different product to conceal redness and create an even skin tone just grab a brush a smooth this magical powder on and in seconds your redness, broken capillaries, rosacea and acne is hidden from view. It is the simplest product I have ever used yet it is the most effective and life changing for me! It is a loose powder formula that sets foundation and can be reapplied! It is fragrance free and is soothing for your skin! Its invisible yet you know it works and that's what counts! This is a game changer in the beauty industry and cannot be kept secret, I looked forward to the most and it did not disappoint! Thank you Genie Beauty for creating this amazing Cashmere Color Correcting Powder! Buy yours today @   https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=45

The next step in my beauty routine every single day is highlight because well why not highlight and conceal parts of your skin that bother you?! Until now I have been using products that seemed alright but now that I have tried the best I will never go back! The Genie Beauty Highlighter Pen is amazing. It is crease from yet is a lightweight, creamy texture that truly glides onto my skin without pulling or tugging it! That is so important when using it around my eyes to cover dark circles which this does all while a clinical study proved that this Genie Beauty Highlighter Pen reduces dark circles by 28% I love the brightening effect because it is instant! its formulate with natural ingredients what does not irate my sensitive eyes! To learn more and buy yours @ https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=2

Last but defiantly not least in my beauty routine is mascara. I am thrilled to be bringing you the Genie Beauty Million Dollar Lash Mascara. This is by far the best mascara you will ever use! I must say it does not clump, flak or leave your lashes feeling crunchy no matter how many hours your leave it on! My lashes felt soft, curled and conditioned! In fact I didn't need an eye lash curler because the lash boosting silica fibers in the formula gave my lashes volume as well as length. Another important factor with this mascara that makes it superior to others I have tried is that fact the applicator is in a V shape in order to give you twice the surface for combing through your lashes and applying twice as much product with one swipe! This is a beauty bag must! It contains no alcohol and keeps your lashes soft and flake free! Buy yours now @    https://www.geniebeauty.com/genie_product_detail.asp?prodID=71

My over all rating of all of the makeup product that I review from Genie Beauty is a 5 $$$$$ BECAUSE THEY DELIVER RESULTS AND IT IS THE RESULT THAT IS PROMISED! I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE FROM A BRAND! IT HAS QUALITY INGREDIENTS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN AND GENIE BEAUTY WILL HAVE YOUR FACE DONE WITH MAKEUP IN JUST MINUTES BECAUSE IT APPLIES EASILY WHILE BEING FULL COVERAGE! YOU WILL HAVE FLAWLESS SKIN WITHOUT ANY HASSLE! A BEAUTY BAG MUST!

Extra Love From Anna:
I am truly in love with this brand! Genie Beauty Product have made a huge difference in my life and how I do my makeup! In the coming weeks I will share with you my review of their skincare line and I will let you know now you don't want to miss that review! I can get ready in minutes in the morning since staring to use this line because I have less steps when you makeup include line filling and acne scaring coverage in one step! I was so happy with the result I got from using Genie Beauty Products that I cried, these were finally tears of joy instead of frustration because my skin looked like nice skin and not just caked on makeup to cover my imperfections. I want to shout out two people Lisa Claycomb the president of Genie Beauty Products for creating and sharing these AMAZING products with women from around the world and for her kindness in allowing Erica for sending them out to me to test and review. Erica you really truly cared to make sure the correct products for my skin type and tone got to me and for that along with your kindness I thank you!
