Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Creamy Bronzing Powder

Happy Friday Beauty Bag Dolls! I hope your week was amazing and that you have a beautiful weekend ahead of you. In case you are going to be doing some shopping this weekend I have another review for you this week. Earlier this month I mentioned that I would be reviewing a bronzer for you because I love bronzer and I was lucky enough to try the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Creamy Bronzing Powder thanks to BzzAgent for sending it over. I got to try out shade 90 which is the perfect shade. This retails for $58.00 and is sold on the Armani Beauty website. I left my review for BzzAgent and I will have it for below. 

Absolutely the best bronzer ever! My number one choice!

The shade is perfect and you can build it.

The packaging is beautiful!


My review that I left for BzzAgent:

This bronzer is my number one choice! I am beyond impressed with this bronzer. It is creamy, silky and smooth when I apply to my skin. The powder is so finely milled it truly does not feel like a powder bronzer when I apply it. Other bronzers cannot compare to this one. The color payoff is immediate upon application. I am never using another bronzer this one makes me look like a bronzed perfection.

It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Natural Matte Foundation w/ SPF 40

 Beauty Bag Dolls I am thrilled to be back in action for some reviews of brand new products. I know I have been busy but not to fear I am always trying out new products and I never want to bring you reviews for the sake of reviews I believe in quality not quantity of reviews. I am also under contract to keep certain products a secret until they debut for you to purchase the new It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Natural Matte Foundation w/ SPF 40 is one of the products I have been trying out for a while before I can share with all of you. I received the It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Natural Matte Foundation w/ SPF 40 from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review. I leave my review on their website as well as Sephora and I will leave that review here for you along with photos of course. This will be available for purchase on February 28th 2024 and will cost $47.00



My BzzAgent review of It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Natural Matte Foundation w/ SPF 40:

The It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Natural Matte Foundation w/ SPF 40 is everything you need in a Foundation. I apply two pumps and it is enough product for my face and neck. The coverage is full and it blends out beautifully. It covers my imperfections and did not settle in fine lines. I have oily skin and this did not need a touch up after just a few hours in fact it looked great after a 14 hour day. It never settled in my pores and is just a great foundation.The SPF factor is another plus and I am very pleased to have a Matte Foundation that didn't dry my skin out. I recommend this to everyone who wants a full coverage Foundation that has flawless coverage.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I am very excited Beauty Bag Dolls to introduce you to two newish things. First the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum and second to the Home Tester Club. The Home Tester Club is a program (I mentioned this program in an earlier post but if your new to my blog Welcome and if your new to Home Tester Club Welcome read on to learn more)  I belong to where you answer some survey questions and from time to time you receive some free product samples. Everything from Electronics to skincare and anything in between. I will link it for you throughout the blog so you can sign up and enjoy some free samples yourself. The review I will leave for is the one that I left exactly on the Home Tester Club website. Remember you receive the product in exchange for your honest review and they give you at least a week (usually more) to try the products so you can leave an honest review. As mentioned you will read what I left on their website and what they expect.

This Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a beauty bag must have!


The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum is by far a superior serum. I say that with great excitement because most hyaluronic acid serums I have tried in the past were irritating but not the Neutrogena Hydro Boost. I felt nothing but they hydration aspect but I got results because of the hydration my skin looked so plump and so hydrated that it glowed from within. I saw results in just one week. It was fragrance free which is a welcomed change since most products have added scents they will give me a headache Neutrogena knocked it out of the park and made a Hyaluronic Acid Serum that works without irritation and I am adding this to my repurchase list. 

Follow me on InstagramTwitter and Pinterest for giveaways, updates and reviews!



 Note: I received the  Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum Complimentary for testing purposes from Home Tester Club.

HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray Ultra Matte Finish

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so excited to bring to a review of the new HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray Ultra Matte Finish. I have been using this for well over 3 weeks now since the day after it arrived on my doorstep and I am thrilled. My makeup routine always included a setting spray but most of them left me feeling sticky, tacky and my face was down right wet for a while before it set my makeup. The HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray Ultra Matte Finish is just the opposite. Read on to learn more as well as how to receive makeup and skincare product for free like HudaBeauty from Influenster.com To sign up now click link here or keep reading and find out even more at the end. I must thank Influenster for sending me this complimentary to review.
My new #HUDABEAUTYRESTINGBOSSFACE #voxbox is a beauty bag must have! Keeps my makeup on my face! Thank you Influenster for letting me try this out complimentary! Its my new favorite! 

HudaBeauty describes the setting spray as "an extra-hold setting spray for the ultimate matte and waterproof finish in a non-aerosol spray." They also note that this has fragrance. Now I have never used a setting spray that was not scented so that the HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face was did not surprise me however it is the most scented setting spray I have ever tried. Now anyone who is super sensitive to scent this is not for you I was worried about myself however after spritzing it on and following the instructions I noticed that for me the scent lingered for about 10 minutes. That is longer than most but for me personally its not a deal breaker. For me this is a truly matte formula that does not dry out my skin which is what I need since I am oily and acne prone, I am very choosy about what I spray on my face. I used this everyday and never did I breakout or have any skin sensitivity issues. I am just thrilled to finally have a setting spray like HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray Ultra Matte Finish that is a matte finish and that actually works. It keeps your makeup in place for hours and hours. I never need to touch up or see that any of makeup has melted off my face and with how hot and humid its been getting this is what my makeup needed. This is a beauty bag must have that gets 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA! I could not take a $ off for the scent because for me its not a deal breaker however I do want to note yet again if you have any sensitivity to scent this is not for you.

I know I teased in the beginning of this review how I got this product for a company called Influenster to try the HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray Ultra Matte Finish for free in exchange for my honest review.

BIC Soleil Balance Razors

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls today I am bringing you a review of the newest from BIC it is their Soleil Balance Razors. These beauties are available everywhere from drug stores to grocery stores and of course one of my favorite places to shop for beauty Ulta Beauty. This is a two pack of razors that are different than most because they come with two moisture bars on either side of the razor which for me makes shaving a breeze. No need to reach for shaving gel or cream just hop in your shower and glide this over your wet legs you will be done in seconds. Read on to learn more.
Image result for bic soleil balanceImage result for bic soleil balance
As I mentioned this is a two pack and the razor itself is a "5 flexible blades adjust to contours of your body. Moisture bars infused with Shea Butter replace shaving cream. 2-in-1 razor simplifies your shaving routing." I did not need a drop of shaving gel and never nicked myself once. This made my old razor look like a tired old nag even though I change them out after every 3 uses. I am was left feeling really good about this razor because my legs look and felt soft and smooth. You must grab these to use they are everything and get you in and out and shaving done in just a few short minutes. I am giving this a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA! They are beauty bag must haves!

Shop Ulta.com to purchase or any local drug store.

Note: I received this as a free product sample from Smiley360.com however all opinions are my own.

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!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream

As you all know I am a member of Crowdtap and you can join me and go on your own missions! go to @ www.crowdtap.com  to learn more and leave me a comment if you would like more information or have questions. I was thrilled when Crowdtap sent me a complimentary Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream for Extra Dry Skin to test. Of course this review is my own even though I received the Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel-cream as a free sample.

Out of the box and into my BeautyBag


I was so thrilled when this arrived in the mail complimentary of Crowdtap for testing purposes. I used this for several days before writing this review and I am completely in love with the results! I have sensitive acne prone skin and with this harsh winter nothing helped with the dryness until now! This gives remarkable hydration that lasts all while not irritating sensitive skin. I left my skin smooth, supple and hydrated. It also absorbs quickly so I put it on every morning before applying my makeup but after cleansing! My skin looks amazing and I saw results within three days! My skin texture was also improved. Neutrogena has hit it out of the park

I give Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel-cream a 5 $$$$$ FOR ITS ABILITY TO MOISTURIZE MY SKIN QUICKLY BUT LAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IT MAKES SKIN SOFT AND SUPPLE WITHOUT IRRITATING SENSITIVE ACNE PRONE SKIN. THE GEL ABSORBS QUICKLY BUT FEELS WEIGHTLESS. I LOVE NEUTROGENA'S HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL-Cream AND IT IS A STAPLE IN MY BEAUTY ROUTINE AND IN MY BEAUTY BAG!
