Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have a brand new product launch to bring to you today! It officially launched on July 12, 2021 and I have been using it for a few day before that. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer was sent to me complimentary via Influenster.com I am so very lucky to have received another one of their amazing Voxboxes that I get to try out and review for all of you. I am required to leave a review  for them and I will leave that review for you below along with the information on how to sign up for Influenster so you can also get your very own voxbox. Keep reading to learn more about my latest voxbox the Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer as well as some information about this awesome new bronzer and to sign up for Influenster

Now some information about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer is that it officially launched on July 12, 2021 and comes in 7 shades. I have the shade Sun Kissed which for me is perfect to use as an all over bronzer year round as well as for contouring. Looking at the chart on the Anastasia website I made the perfect choice for me with the shade so that I can use this year round and have a prefect sun kissed looked for my skin tone. Now from the brand Anastasia Beverly Hills state that this "Cream Bronzer debuts a revolutionary new, weightless cream formula for sun-kissed color. Warm up skin while creating contour and definition with this versatile all-in-one product for dimensional warmth and sculpting. Cream Bronzer stays true to color and sets itself with a natural, matte finish. It grips to skin with a flexible hold that doesn't streak, patch, oxidize, or smudge the complexion layers underneath. Plus, the buildable formula means that you can easily take it from soft to bold definition. Available in seven shades, Cream Bronzer is easy-to-use and melts effortlessly into to a matte, second-skin seamless finish with comfortable wearability." A side note from me at only $35 this is the most affordable bronzer I own. 

This brand new cream bronzer from Anastasia Beverly Hills has quickly become my favorite cream bronzer in my makeup routine. 


My Review:

I am so happy with this brand new cream bronzer that arrived at my doorstep a few days ago. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer is amazing. It blends like a dream when you want an all over glow and contours perfectly. I use it with a brush to apply and it blends out beautifully and lasts all day. The matte finish is just what I needed with my combination skin type and  this #abhcreambronzer is better than my other bronzers and this one is super affordable at $35 versus my usual cream bronzer which is $50. I have stopped using that one completely and only use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Bronzer each and every day. It never smears even in the heat and humidity of summer.

Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment

I am so happy to be bringing you another review of a brand new product that just launched this week at the Ole Henriksen website and Sephora.com I was lucky enough to get an exclusive first look and try via Influenster.com sending to me complimentary in exchange for my always honest review. I am going to leave you details at the end of the review on how to join Influenster so you to can get your very own Voxboxes and below I will leave you the review that I left on both Influenster website as well as the Sephora website which was required of me in order to receive the  Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment.

The  Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment is a must have!


My review:

The Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment is something you must have in your nighttime skincare routine even if you have sensitive skin because this treatment is very gentle yet effective. At night one I applied and noticed a slight tingle for only about 45 seconds on night two the tingle was less than 20 seconds and on night three no tingle.  Do not be afraid of the tingle because the results after night one was truly beautiful glowing skin. After three nights my face texture was smooth and after 10 days I had noticed a complete reduction in my fines lines and acne scarring. This serum is also more thick and milky than traditional runny serums that tend to be sticky or tacky after application, this one immediately sinks in and feels matte on the skin-I love it since my skin is more combination/ oily type. You need to try this formula of acid treatment because it is gentle yet so effective at giving you results. When my bottle gets half way I am running to Sephora not walking to repurchase. Its a must have!

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick/Concealer& Corrector

 I am so happy to bring you a triple review from my month long journey of trying out the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick, Instant Full Cover Concealer and Corrector. It has been a minute since I did a one brand look and I was unhappy with the foundations I was using and its not that they were bad its more that I was bored and wanted to see what was out there. After probably 4 days of research online and in store I decided that I would get all three of these products on the Bobbi Brown website and  about 3 weeks after using it I decided that I wanted one more foundation and concealer in my rotation from two other brands ( I will share that with you soon) and that is only because the Bobbi Brown foundation does not have SPF in it and I am pretty spoiled and 95% of my foundation's have SPF built into them so I am currently using that foundation for all of you (and me of course) because sometimes I don't feel like doing the SPF step unless its in my moisturizer and lately it is not built into that either and SPF is so important.(Do note Bobbi Brown has foundations with SPF in them I just choose the stick form since I have been wanting a stick formula foundation) Bobbi Brown has a lot of shades for you to choose from in the Foundation Stick, Concealer and Corrector and no joke I took some time to really look at everything and get it right and I am so happy I did. I purchased the Foundation Stick in shade N-042 Beige, the Instant Full Coverage concealer in shade Cool Sand and the Corrector in Light Bisque. When choosing these shades I knew I would be self tanning and wanted to match to that. I will link all of these down below for you to shop.

The full review is on my Instagram and on my blog here I included the shades of the products I purchased are here. I am also going to include the difference between the Concealer and the Corrector. The concealer is amazing and works really well for blemishes and minor dark circles. It is light yet full coverage and blends well, I love it and use it whenever I need it. The corrector is something I reach for when I want to look like I actually slept and the darkness under my eye area is worse that usual. It is also something I use on my dark spots on my face from acne marks. This works really well and you can press it on with your fingers and it melts into your skin and blend out with a Beauty Blender or concealer brush. Think about the corrector for darkness and concealer for coverage/concealing. Neither make you feel like they are thick or cakey trust me. I love both so much and some days I use both and then just run the foundation stick over your face blend and your done! For more check out my Instagram and a photo too! 

Thanks for reading and checking out my thoughts on both platforms. Now stay tune for another review of one more concealer and foundation I may or may not be adding into my new rotation because sometimes Beauty Bag Dolls we just need a change after all it is 2021! 

Pricing and links to shop: 

Bobbi Brown Instant Full Coverage Concealer $32.00

Bobbi Brown Under Eye Corrector $29.00 

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick $49.00

I also recommend the Bobbi Brown Enriched Face Base I have this in my rotation for several months now after buying it at the Sephora sale so pick that up if you can too! 

Shipping Information:

All of these products were purchased by me this is NOT A SPONSORED POST. You can buy them at Bobbi Brown Website like I did. I found that the prices were the same at Sephora and QVC so I preferred to buy it straight from Bobbi Browns Website. The shipping was safe and super fast bought it on a Friday afternoon and received early Tuesday morning.

Nano Towels for Beauty

I am beyond thrilled to be bringing you a full spectrum review today for your beauty, body and haircare routines from Nano Towel. I was so excited to try all three of these amazing yet very body specific towels. I wanted to use them all the day they arrived but I did follow instructions and wash them in the washing machine as instruction on a warm water setting with no fabric softener. After that the next day I was ready to use these beautiful Nano Towels and let me first tell you, you will immediately notice how incredibly soft they are. Each are made this way to keep your skin and hair from being damaged. To learn more about Nano Towels and to purchase yours visit the Nano Towels website here.
These three Nano Towels are all I need for the perfect Skin and Body care routine!

Now as far as my experience it was awesome! I first use the Nano Towels Makeup Remover towel which is just what I love. You need no cleansers or harsh abrasive makeup removers just this amazingly soft towel soaked in warm water and use it like a disposable makeup wipe rubbing it over your eyes and face removing even your 24 hour long wear makeup from foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, eye liner, blush, bronzer, highlighter and that long wear matte lipstick that always seems to last way past bedtime. This amazing Nano Towel gets it all off without needing to tug or use multiple makeup wipes that just end up in the land fill. This Nano Towels Makeup Remover did the job of getting all my makeup off without chemicals and honestly my skin was left soft and really clean without feeling stripped or dried out. I love this and you just wash it and hang it by the loop and use it again the next day. Its an awesome way to remove your makeup without irritating your skin.

Next, I tried out both the Nano Towels Hair Drying Towel and the Nano Towels Body Towel. Both are just soft perfection. The Hair Drying Towel is just beyond impressive for me. I was so happy that it was big enough for my long hair first of all and then the fact that it let me twist and fasten it helped with the struggle of when you have your hair up to dry and the towel always fall down about 5 times. I set this one up and it stayed up for the entire 15-20 minutes I keep my hair in a towel to dry. I could do my makeup without a bother and when I took my hair out of it, it was 80% dry and that meant I used my hair dryer that much less causing less damage to my hair. I am beyond thrilled with how great this Nano Towel works. My hair has been less frizzy and my routine from washing to style drying has been cut down! I love my Nano Towels Hair Drying Towel.
The Nano Towels comes packaged perfectly!

Finally I got to try out the amazing Nano Towels for The Body and this towel is the most unique and effective body towel I have ever tried in my entire life. It is a double sided one side is smooth for wiping your wet skin dry (or for sensitive skin) after a shower and the other side is a deep pile side with fingers for soaking up water from your hair or your soaking wet body and it deep cleans your pores. I just love it. For me the Nano Towels for the body is a luxe body towel that makes you feel so good when drying your skin right out shower. This towel and the makeup removing towel as well as the hair towels from Nano Towels are the BEST I have used and are all beauty bag must haves that get 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

John Frieda Day 2 Revival

Beauty Bag Dolls I have a brand new launch from John Frieda. New to the line is the Day 2 Revival. This line includes everything from Dry Shampoo to a Wave Refresh Spray. These products are great for me because I honestly love my day to hair but it could always use a little extra something to give it bounce. I have two product for review from the John Frieda Day 2 Revival line. First  I will review the Wave Refresh Spray followed by the Dry Shampoo. According to the John Frieda website the Day 2 Revival can even help you on Day 3, 4 and beyond. I did experiment with this and here are my findings.
I absolutely love the John Frieda Day 2 Revival line! It is a must have in your beauty bag and something I cannot live without!

For me washing my long hair can be a pain so the invention of dry shampoo has changed my life on day 2 and yes sometimes day 3 hair of course after that I have to shampoo and start again. When my hair is straight I usually have to shampoo at the end of day 2 however when I have curled my hair I can wait until the end of day 3 to shampoo. When my package arrived I was on day 2 curly hair so I reached for the John Frieda Day 2 Revival Wave Refresh immediately and sprayed some in. It smells nice hydrated my curls. I followed the instructions on the bottle of course you use this on your dry curled hair and mist through, then just twisted my curls around. They looked fabulous after I was finished and it only took 2 minutes I even took the John Frieda Day To Revival Dry Shampoo sprayed a bit in my roots and it absorbed some oil and I was good to go back to work. This package was the perfect surprise on my doorstep when I got home to have lunch. After I got home that evening my hair still looked great and when I woke up the next morning I repeated the steps and I got trough the work day again. At the end of day 3 I did shampoo and start again only I did not set curls and decided to keep my hair straight and test the dry shampoo a bit more. Day two in the morning my hair when straight never seems right until I use dry shampoo and I used the Day 2 Revival by John Frieda and it looked so good. Smelled fresh and not oily at all. I always shampoo my hair when straight at the end of day 2 but this time I decided not to and I used it in the AM on day 3. This dry shampoo truly did the trick cleansing my hair and adding volume. I looked great all day I did not dare push to day 4 its not in my nature and shampooed at the end of day 3.

I LOVE the John Frieda Day 2 Revival Line is amazing and just what I needed in my life! This is a Beauty Bag Must have for all hair types and help you extend your style and save your hair from unnecessary  shampooing/styling daily. A 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

I have just used the best Mud mask in my life and it is from PUR. I am obsessed masks that is no secret I use a mask almost every day of the week however I have not used a mud mask that I truly love in a long time until now. The PUR Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque unclogs pores, clarify and cleanses all skin types with detoxifying Pascalite, which is a unique form of calcium bentonite clay. To learn more do read on.
PUR Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque is my only mud mask!(pictured on right) Use it and follow up with the PUR cloud moisturizer (review coming soon)

I am a girl with acne prone skin and I am always searching for a great mask to help with that skin issue as I mentioned earlier the right mud mask has alluded me until now the  PUR Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque. I apply a layer of this all over my face and wait about 20 minutes for it to dry. My favorite way to rinse it off well is in the shower. While it dries down you will notice it feels hydrating in the beginning and then after it dries down it starts to crack. I rinse this off in the shower with warm water since it rinses clean best in the shower. After you rinse this off you will be as thrilled as I am when I look in the mirror. My pores were deeply cleansed and were smaller. I am thrilled with the results of the PUR Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque and it is a beauty bag must have that gets 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Skinfix Skincare

Today #BeautyBagDolls I get to bring you a review of the Skinfix skincare line. I have their amazing Foaming Oil Cleanser, Hydrating Lotion and Brightening Eye Cream. I am very happy that I got to try all of these out and I am happy to report that they are a must have in my beauty routine and to find out exactly why read on.
Three pieces for my skin that makes it glow! Loving Skinfix! 

I first of course tried out the Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser which is 98% Natural Derm recommended. According to the Skinfix website this is a natural coconut based cleanser that is gentle but strong enough to wash away dirt and makeup without stripping the skin's essential moisture. I really put this to the test when I wash away a face full of long wear makeup. The Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser is the real deal it took off all my makeup including mascara and liquid eye liner without any problems. It foams up nicely and felt nice on my skin, after rinsing I felt that my face felt soft and hydrated instead of tight and dry like with most other cleansers. This is truly an amazing cleanser and I love to follow it up with the Skinfix Hydrating Lotion. This is a very gentle lotion for my sensitive skin and I noticed that it was not greasy but it was hydrating so I was very happy to smooth this on my acne prone skin since it didn't sting or leave behind that oily feeling in fact my skin just drank it right in without any issues. After about 3 days my skin looked brighter and immediately looked dewy and plump. Finally with any skincare routine I like to finish with my eyes. The eye are is very important to me, I need my eye cream to be gentle yet effective and Skinfix has done just that with the Skinfix Brightening Eye Cream. This eye cream is fabulous. It absorbed quickly and truly went to work. After about 3 days using it twice a day I noticed an improvement in my dark circles. My dark circles are not always the worse however I do get some morning puffiness and the Skinfix Brightening Eye Cream helped it immediately. I have sensitive eyes and I did not experience any eye irritation.  This eye cream from Skinfix is awesome! Over all I love the Skinfix skincare line it has done wonders for my skin and I will continue to use it because my results are great immediate and even better over time. This is a trio of beauty bag must haves that get 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
