MineTan Self Tan Foams

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls I am so happy that I got to try out a self tanning foam from MineTan. They are so amazing for sending me their from the Coconut Foam, Classic Carmel Foam and Super Dark Violet  Foam. Now I was curious about all three of these since they all give you a tan in an hour depending on how dark you want to be. Now with fall officially here, I never really give up my self tan and not when the weather for me is this beautiful. We are setting records for heat so I am keeping my skin golden and glowing for as long as possible and MineTan makes it easy to do so. Read on to learn more.

So I had a choice to make do I want MineTan Coconut Foam, Classic Foam or Super Dark Violet Foam. The choice was difficult but I decided to try out the try and true Classic Foam first. Classic Foam is describes as "not too light and not too dark, Caramel is perfect for those looking for a classic, sun kissed, golden skin finish in as little as one hour. Caramel is a caramel base with a mix of brown and caramel bronzers for a natural golden skin finish." I love how I look because it is subtle at first and you can apply it with the mitt wait just one hour and shower off (this goes for all 3 shades of course) or you can keep it on for 1-3+ hours for an even darker tan. I love that I have control over this Self Tan Foam it give me the power to choose how dark I want to be. I am also happy to report I was not streaky or uneven in anyway, of course I use sunless tanner all the time so I have system down so you may need a little practice if this is your first time sunless tanning however this is the BEST one I have ever tried. Now for anyone who wants an even deeper tan the other two are just beautiful and they are the MineTan Coconut Foam which is a Rich Dark Brown finish as well as being the only one of the two that is slightly scented and the MineTan Super Dark Violet which is described as rich dark brown that will develop to a deep dark color depending on how long you keep it on for. The MineTan Self Tan foams are simply the best I have ever tried they have no awful smell they don't leave my skin feeling dry or orange, instead I am left with a beautiful tanned skin which the best way to get a safe tan! This is my beauty bag must have and go to! This tan looks beautiful, applies easily and lasts for days! I give it a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Kneipp Soft Skin Face Care Collection

With fall now here I am starting to change up my skincare routine #BeautyBagDolls and I have discovered one that I love to use and it is a 3 piece set from Kneipp that is limited edition. It is the Kniepp  Almond Blossom Soft Skin series was developed to care for dry and sensitive skin and contains ingredients specifically intended to nourish and moisturize without triggering skin allergies and irritation. The kit contains Almond Blossom Cleansing Milk, Almond Blossom Face Tonic and Almond Blossom Face Cream. To learn more or purchase this set visit here.

I am thrilled that this was sold as a 3 piece system. I got to begin my skincare routine with the Almond Blossom Cleansing Milk which gently cleanses and removes make-up without drying out the skin. It contains high-quality, nourishing almond oil and vitamin E. I love how soft my skin felt just after cleansing. The I followed up with Almond Blossom Face Tonic which gently refreshes and cares for cleansed skin and removes any remaining cleansing milk. This face tonic with intensively nourishing pathenol does not contain alcohol. I am so happy this does not have alcohol in it and I can use it without it irritating my skin like other face tonics usually do. Finally the Almond Blossom Face Cream which "contains high-quality almond oil which is also very well tolerated by sensitive skin. The natural nourishing effect is enhanced by the cell-protecting combination of vitamins A and E, rich shea butter as well as skin-soothing panthenol. Because of its lipid-replenishing character, the intensively nourishing face cream makes the skin noticeably more supple, provides it with lasting moisture and supports the skin’s own protection from photo-aging." I am singing high praises to this moisturizer because it feels so nice on my skin and truly left my skin feeling hydrated and soft.  I also want to note that these products are  vegan and free from paraffin, preservatives and silicone oils.

L'Oreal Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls today I am brining you a review of a fabulous new moisturizer from L'Oréal. It is the L'Oreal Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer for normal to dry skin. I didn't think this moisturizer would be for me at first but even though my skin is combination skin I have learned over the past few weeks with the season starting to change my skin has gone from oily to dry. I need something to help keep it hydrated yet balanced and I am very happy that the L'Oreal Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer did this for me. Read on to learn more.

This moisturizer helped balance my usually combination skin type! 

L'Oréal describes the Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer as follows "formulated to offer lightweight hydration, these formulas break into water upon contact with skin to deliver instant hydration that glides on easily for quick absorption." It is "specifically developed for Normal to Dry Skin, this water based moisturizer is formulated with Aloe Water + Hyaluronic Acid to provide dual action. 1. 72 hours of intense and continuous hydration: it quenches skin with moisture & locks it in. 2. Glowing Action: it envelops skin with moisture improving skin’s radiance." I was super excited to try this out after reading everything about it. Who doesn't want hydrated glowing skin?! I used this twice a day for several days. I used it under my makeup and each night after cleansing. I did see immediately that my skin was hydrated especially on days that it felt particularly dry. Even on days that my skin seemed to act up and do its combination oily skin the L'Oréal  Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer balanced it out. I love that it absorbed quickly and that I can use the same moisturizer on my face and neck all while getting results of hydration, smoothness and glowing skin! I give this a 5 $$$$$ and it is an absolute beauty bag must have! EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA is in order!

The Color Splash Wrap Around Pony comes all the same natural hair shades all of the other extensions and hair accessories availed on hairdo however this comes with a splash of color which is highlighted and dip-dyed pastel ends: blue, pink, light green or lavender. I received the Buttered Toast and Pink as well as Butter Toast and Red Wine hairdo 23" Color Splash Wrap Around Pony. The hair color matches my hair perfectly and the splash of lavender is perfection. It adds the right pop of color without being over done.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick

A change of the season is upon us #BeautyBagDolls and there is nothing easier in my beauty routine than to change up the lip color. The two new lipsticks I am trying out are the L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick in shades Stirred and Roseblood. These for me are both absolutely beautiful shades and I am in love with the pigment pay off and texture. To learn more read on.

A change in season means a change in lipstick for me! Love L'Oréal's Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick's!

L'Oréal describes the L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick their first "up to 16HR matte liquid lipstick. Intense high pigment shades create comfortable, lasting ultra-matte color. This full-coverage, long wear liquid lipstick feels light for all day comfort. With the pro-sculpt applicator, shape and add dimension to lips." I will attest yet again to the high pigment because it is just so good. It is full overage and the applicator does hug your lips giving you the accuracy you need to apply it to perfection. It lasted for my long days and my lips never felt dry or completely dehydrated like I needed a lip balm. I had a beautiful matte liquid lipstick that made my lips look great, feel great and lasted all day long. I am a huge fan of the L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick and its a new beauty bag must have for me this fall. Its also getting a 5 $$$$$.

Origins Original Skin VoxBox from Influenster

Hello #BeautyBagDolls today I am bringing you a special review that came to me complimentary of the Influester program I belong to. I was selected to receive their Origins Original Skin VoxBox. This had three products in it and included was a full size Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer with Willowherb and two deluxe side product from the line which was the Retexturizing Mask and Renewal Serum. Join Influenster here.

This Influenster VoxBox #pinkwatercream helped me #discoverorigins and I am so glad I did!

In this review I am going to get the heart of this VoxBox and that is the Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer since this was the only full size product in the VoxBox and it lasted the entire month and half whereas the deluxe samples that were included lasted about a week, not to say I wasn't happy they were included because they gave me plenty of time to figure out whether or not I wanted to purchase full size products. The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is exclusively sold at Sephora and Sephora.com and is described as "A mattifying moisturizer for hydrated, healthy-looking skin."  It is formulated with "pink rock rose and willowherb to boost radiance, refine texture, even tone, and visibly minimize pores for a soft, smooth feel and a positively luminous look." I have always told you that I have acne prone, combination skin and some visible pores that I keep in check most of the time. The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is something I am excited to bring to you because it is so lightweight and great for anyone with any skin type from oily, dry or combination skin types. It for me acts as a moisturizing primer, so my favorite time of the day to use it is every morning before I apply my makeup. This goes right into the skin and is a matte application moisturizer which is something new to me since I am always waiting a few minutes to let my moisturizer absorb into the skin until now, which saves me time in the morning. It feels nice absorbs instantly and truly give my skin the hydration it needs. I am thrilled that it is oily free since my skin is combination and tends to be oily some days or dry others I like having that one moisturizer that is great for my skin on either day. It really doesn't interfere with my makeup application since it truly preps my skin for makeup application acting as a hydrating matte priming moisturizer. I cannot get enough of this and I love it! The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is a beauty bag must have and has gone on my shopping list the next time I make a Sephora.com order. Thank you Influester.com for introducing me to this NEW moisture that is now my must have!

As far as the other two product included in the Origins Original VoxBox they are the  Retexturizing Mask and Renewal Serum they as I mentioned were a deluxe sample size and I honestly loved them even though they were small I can say that they are enough for multiple uses and you can figure out if you would  like to purchase the full size version. I must say the Mask is amazing. I used it about 3 times a saw that it made my skin look and feel soft and radiant as well as minimized my pores. The Serum is very good. It brightened my skin and absorbed quickly so I used it twice a day for 5 days until it ran out and I am very impressed. Both these deluxe samples sizes that Influenster provided me in the VoxBox are on my list of things to purchase the full size versions. Available for purchase at Sephora and Sephora.com

Overall the Origins Original Skin VoxBox is full of beauty bag must haves. The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is amazing and the mask and serum compliment the moisturizer to make you have flawless hydrated skin. The 3 together do make the best skincare routine however you must try the moisturizer if you can only get one product because it is the perfect AM moisturizer for all skin types. This is a 5 $$$$$ that gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray

#BeautyBagDolls just because unofficially summer is behind me now that Labor Day has passed doesn't mean I am quite ready to let go of my lighter hair color just yet and their is no better way to keep my blonde locks than with John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray I am a huge fan of this since it give me control of when and how often I lighten my hair color. Read on for some information.

You will have total control with the John Frieda Lightening Spray which is why this is my beauty bag must!

The Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray has a "formula with citrus and chamomile works with styling heat to gradually lighten and brighten for a natural-looking, blonder blonde. Contains thermo-protectant. Patent-pending technology combines fixative and conditioning polymers that retain hydrogen peroxide, allowing for control of lightening. Visibly lightens in 3-5 uses." You use this on "towel-dried hair; then style as desired. For optimal lightening, use a flat iron or curling iron after blow-drying. The more heat you use, the greater the lightening effects."  I personally first started using this for root blending and then I decided to have some fun and use it for highlighting. My hair looks great and no one knows I did this at home by myself. In all honesty this is the easiest way to have full control of where you spray and how much heat you use. I am loving that this gives you the control! I highly recommend the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray its a 5 $$$$$ and it gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 September 2017

Hello #BeautyBagDolls Happy September 1st I am so excited to bring you my first review of the month and for it to be from NewBeauty makes it that much better! NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 September 2017 is packed with 10 products and lots of the are full size goodies. To learn more about what's inside this month TestTube 2.0 read on.

The best subscription sample box out there! I love NewBeauty's TestTube 2.0!

The first product inside the NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 September 2017 is the full size dermaTRUTH Gel/Crème this is an amazing moisturizer for me since I have been feeling a little dry and to try this out was a dream. It wasn't to thick or greasy and absorbed quickly. The second product is yet another full size one it is the Bellapierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush which was a beautiful addition to my blush collection since the color is one I did not have yet. Autumn Glow gave me a natural flush of color that did not over power my face. The TestTube was truly packed because the third product was yet another full size product it was the Manna Kadar Glo Illuminator and I am a real fan of illuminators and this one I could mix into my foundation or wear alone which is what I do all the time and this one is great since I could use it on my face or anywhere on my body to add a nice glow to my skin. The fourth product is Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder and Minerals & Antioxidants. This really tasted good and was easy to mix up I likes using it on the go while at work since it did give me a boost of energy. Next in TestTube 2.0 was the Lumene Lahde Micellar Cleansing Water. I am a big fan of micellar waters and this one was really nice it was fragrance free which is what I  prefer and it really did remove my makeup well without leaving it feeling tight or dry.

Another product which is from a company that is new to me was The Preserve Company Steep Me Like Tea Bath Tea which is an Epsom salt that was scented with peppermint and chamomile. That is wonderful way to end a long day and if my body is feeling sore this is the first thing I grab and thanks to NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 they introduced me to a great new company! Next is the Chuda Healing Hydrating Cream this is a small sample but it take very little of this multitasking balm to help heal your chapped lips or dry cuticles. I also like patting some if this in around my eyes to smooth out any fine lines. The eighth product is a full size Osmosis Skincare Eye Shadow Trio in the shade Impulse. I love this trio because it give you the perfect shades for a smokey eye and everything you need is in one place. This didn't irritate my eye or travel down my face. Next I received a one ounce size of the Epionce Lytic Gel Cleanser which is perfect for me since it was good for my combination skin which is what I have going on. This gently cleansed my skin without leaving it feeling dry. This is perfect size to take with me on business trips for work without sacrificing good skincare. Finally my NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 September 2.0 had sheet mask from Leaders Cosmetics and I received the Balance Recovery Mask which is just what I need since it treats blemishes, oily skin  and redness that describes my skin to the last word. This mask is awesome it just stays in place and balanced my skin. Its the 15-20 minutes I get to relax when I use it! I am a huge fan of sheet masks and I love NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 September 2017 for putting this one in for me.

I am so glad I got to try out 10 products from the NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 September 2017 you have to try this sampling program out! I give this TestTube 2.0 a 5 $$$$$ because it is wide variety of beauty products from skincare to makeup along with so many FULL SIZE Goodies this month! You will be really happy to discover something new so pick it up today before it sells out and I am already excited for the next!
