Mehron Cosmetics-Face

#BeautyBagDolls today I am bringing you a special review of 3 amazing Mehron products designed to make your face look its best! It has done that for me and I am so happy to be sharing it with you. I was sent complimentary Mehron ProColorRing that Neutralizes, Mehron Celebre Pro- HD Makeup Foundation and Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Cream-Contour & Highlight Palette. These are all the products you need to have a flawless makeup. Learn more and buy yours here @ http://www.mehron.com/default.asp

3 products you must have to have a flawless face thanks to Mehron!


When I got this out of the box after it arrived I could not wait to try it all out and to use it together. I first started with the amazing Mehron ProColorRing Neutralizer. Its not secret that I have acne and acne scars along with some redness and dark circles so this ProColorRing Neutralizer is perfect for me and to have all 5 colors in one convenient package is a dream come true. I patted it on with a sponge per directions and my jaw dropped nothing has ever neutralized my redness or dark circles like this ProColorRing. It is a creamy formula so I never had to tug my skin and its buildable and blendable. I am in love with this one product alone because it made the next product truly life changing!  Buy this now @ http://www.mehron.com/Pro_Color_Ring_Neutralizer_p/505-n.htm

The Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Makeup Foundation that I received in the shade MED1 which is a medium shade. Before I start singing its praises which I will here is a little background information on the Mehron Pro-HD Makeup Foundation is an oil-free and fragrance-free cream makeup that delivers satin-smooth, buildable coverage that is non-greasy and great for all skin types. I am so thrilled that this is a full coverage buildable cream foundation that make me have flawless skin in seconds. Its easy to apply and my skin looks smooth and soft to the touch! I have very sensitive skin so I am always afraid of foundation because of my sensitive skin but with powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E, pomegranate and aloe vera that help soothe the skin I am thrilled to say I have no issues. Buy yours today @ http://www.mehron.com/Celebre_Cream_Makeup_p/201.htm

The final product from Mehron that I received for review is the Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Cream-Contour & Highlight Palette. I love to contour and to highlight the only problem is I have never been able to apply it and forget it. It has always faded off for me by the middle of the day until now. I never ever tried a cream contour and highlight until the Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Cream-Contour & Highlight Palette came into my life. This has 12 shades one portable palette which is not only convenient but smart. I can pick and choose my contour and highlight shades as my skin tones changes throughout the year. With summer and self tanner I have every shade I need in one place. I am so happy with the formula because it too contains vitamin E, pomegranate and aloe vera. I am so happy with the results of my cream contour and highlight palette long lasting and non irritating! Great makeup so find yours here  @  http://www.mehron.com/Celebre_Pro_HD_Cream_Contour_Highlight_Palette_p/201-pal-ch.htm

 All three of these different Mehron products make me give them all a 5 $$$$$ FOR THEIR  QUALITY, VERSATILITY AND HIGH PERFORMACE! THEY LAST ALL DAY ARE NON IRRITATING ON MY SUPER SENSTIVE SKIN AND ARE FOUND IN MAKEUP ARTISTS KITS THAT WORK ON EVERYTHING TO FASHION SHOWS TO PERFORMERS WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE SO WHY NOT ON EVERYDAY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF! THESE ARE BEAUTY BAG MUSTS!

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!

ClarityMD 2-Step Acne Solutions

I am happy to bring to you today something that Clarity MD has provided me complimentary to test and review for all of you! It is a Acne Solution three part system that is easy and simple to do because you already do it daily. The kit includes a deep pore cleanser, clarifying serum and as a free gift a Konjac Clarity sponge.  I used this 2 step system for about 2 weeks but I saw result in just days and I will share my experiences with you.  Buy yours today @ http://www.myclaritymd.com/claritymd-2-step-system.html?rfr=globalmenu
A acne system that will amaze you!



I first used this at night just in case I experience any dryness because that can happen with products that contain salicylic acid which both steps do in the ClarityMD Acne Solutions 2 Step System. I am no stranger to acne treatments that contain the ingredient salicylic acid but to be safe I first tried it at night. I opened the ClarityMD Deep Pore Cleanser and noticed immediately it was different than other products it was a clear gel that felt cooling on my face as I used it to cleanse and after I rinse and dried my face it didn't feel dry or irritated! It also got all my makeup off even water proof without tugging my skin. Combining it with Konjac Clarity sponge was just perfect because it gently exfoliated my skin. This was a really nice refreshing cleanser to use on my acne prone skin. Which on this day I had acne on my chin. I had a bunch of whitehead and a two blackheads. I also had two large pimples on my forehead and cheeks so I was in desperate need to clear my skin!After cleansing I decided to use the Clarity MD Acne Solution Clarifying  Serum. It feels weightless and not sticky or smelly at all. I have had some bad experiences with acne treatments but this one different! I applied a thin layer to the affected area as the directions state on cleansed skin and I am very pleased with the results after just three days my skin was less irritated and the acne was calmed. I didn't breakout with new acne either so that was awesome! No dryness or irritation just clearer skin in a few days!   Find your kit @  http://www.myclaritymd.com/claritymd-2-step-system.html?rfr=globalmenu

I GIVE THE CLARITYMD 2-STEP ACNE SOLUTIONS A 5 $$$$$ FOR ITS ABILITY TO LESSEN THE APPEARANCE AND STOP NEW BREAKOUT FROM HAPPENING IN DAYS NOT WEEKS AND AFTER 2 WEEKS MY SKIN WAS FREE AND CLEAR OF ACNE!! IT IS A SIMPLE 2 STEP PROCESS THAT DOES NOT DRY OUT OR IRRITATE YOUR SKIN. THIS IS AN EFFECTIVE ACNE TREATMENT SYSTEM THAT IS EASY TO USE AND AFFORDABLE! I HAVE IN MY BEAUTY BAG AND I WILL NOT BE WITHOUT IT!

bareMinerals LoveCalifornia 7pc. Complexion Rescue Color QVC TSV 5/20/16

Great news #BeautyBagDolls May is quickly approaching and I have another amazing sneak peek at a QVC TSV. It is the bareMinerals LoveCalifornia 7pc. Complexion Rescue Color which will be airing on May 20, 2016 at 12AM The item number is A280928 and the direct link to purchase is here @ http://www.qvc.com/bareMinerals-Love,California-7pc.-Complexion-Rescue-Color.product.A280928.html?sc=A280928-ISRC

 


The product description on this TSV is as follows:
Inspired by sun-filled days & warm nights! All you have to do is choose your Complexion Rescue shade and we did the rest, choosing the perfect shade of Mineral Veil & All-Over Face Color to complement your unique skin tone.

The kit includes:
(1)1.18floz Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream SPF 30
(1) 0.21 oz Complexion Rescue Advanced Mineral Veil Finishing Powder SPF 20
(1) 0.05oz All Over Face Color
(1) 0.02oz Shoreline Eyecolor
(1).15fl oz Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in California Dreamer
(1)Smoothing Face Brush
(1) Double Ended Buff & Blend Brush.

I absolute want this kit will I purchase it not sure as of yet. I feel like the SPF factor is a little on the low end I am use to an SPF 50 year round so going down as summer approaches feels wrong! I do love the Marvelous Moxie Lip Glosses and the Shoreline Eyecolor catches my eye however while their brushes look great I haven't had the best experience. Other beauty tools that are sold on QVC are much better in comparison to these. I still cant decide but I will keep you posted after all I did already purchase the Laura Geller TSV at the end of April see review & purchase it here @ http://aguidetowhatsinsideyourbeautybag.blogspot.com/2016/04/laura-geller-mediterranean-journey-6pc.html which I am really liking and I am looking forward to what QVC will bring to the table in June with IT Cosmetics! What are you thinking about this one from bareMinerals? I know they are few and far in between with having TSV on QVC but I am on the fence! I do have some time to decided!

Enjoy this sneak peek! I will keep you posted on any beauty TSV's I learn about! Until then here is the Item number  is A280928 and the direct link to purchase is here @ http://www.qvc.com/bareMinerals-Love,California-7pc.-Complexion-Rescue-Color.product.A280928.html?sc=A280928-ISRC and presentation on this TSV is May 20, 2016 starting at 12AM EST
