e.l.f Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray

 Hi to all of my Beautiful Beauty Bag Dolls! I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying this hot summer!! I know I have been not posting on my blog in a very long time and I want to thank everyone for reaching out via email, comment direct message on TikTok, Instagram and X. Your love is all appreciated and felt. I have been posting on Instagram and TikTok so I thank you for interacting with me on those social media channels. 

Is this a Beauty Bag must or a bust??

I have post on TikTok and Instagram about my thoughts on the e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray for you to check out. I purchased it at Ulta Beauty on a recent restock and I have been trying out more e.l.f. Cosmetics and seeing what the buzz is about. This is a $10.00 setting spray which is the cheapest one I own so if your curious to see if it stood up to my 3 favorite ones which are here click my links above. 

 I have some new reviews coming soon since I am currently trying out a new foundation and I am looking for a new setting powder with SPF. I will take your suggestions because I will be shopping online and in-store this week for that. Stay tuned here and on social media channels for posts.

HIDE Cosmetics Setting Powder & Setting Spray

 Hi Beauty Bag Dolls! I hope your summer is shinning so far and while we squeeze out these next few weeks of late sunsets we need our makeup to last from sunrise to sunset. I am a big believer in setting powdersetting powder and setting spray and this summer has been a quest for me to find the best. Thanks to HIDE Cosmetics for  creating the perfect two products to make my makeup last formy 16 hour days. Read on to learn more.

This summer proof duo has done wonders to lock in my makeup from morning till night.

First, after applying my makeup which some days consists of the HIDE foundation and concealer or the HIDE Skin tint Booster with a touch of concealer I now have added their  HIDE Translucent Setting PowderHIDE Translucent Setting Powder and this powder is milled nicely and comes with an applicator poof. I always set my concealer under my eyes with a sponge and I take a brush to dust the setting powder all over my face. HIDE Setting Powder dusts on very nicely and does not feel heavy or cakes on the face you can use it to bake then just dust it off easily and it did not leave a dry heavy feeon my face like with other powders. Throughout the day I noticed it did control oil and shine which is always welcome for someone like me with a combination skin type. This setting powder from HIDE is my must have and the cost is $28 which if they charged double it would be worth it. This is my new go-to.

Perfectly packaged!

Finally, I tried the HIDE Setting Spray HIDE Setting Spray and for me I always struggle to find a setting spray that doesn't actually ruin your makeup after your done doing it. I have tried setting spray that has sprayed so much makeup that it made my makeup look like it was spotted. The HIDE Setting Spray was a perfect mist that just kissed the face and truly set my makeup and none of that spotty streaking like other brands. When combinding this setting spray with the powder and your make will not budge in this heat and humidity. This summer is very hot and humid so setting my makeup has been a priority and I am happy to say that HIDE Cosmetics has made it a slam dunk. The bottle is large 4 ounces for $26 which is a lot of product.

I must say these two are a dream duo and a Beauty Bag must have. Please shop Hide.com to purchase these two awesome products and the concealer,  foundationconcealer,  foundation and skin tint Boosterskin tint Booster. My review of the foundation and concealer is here. My review of skin tint Booster is here.

Thank you to HIDE for sending me these two products in exchange for my honest review.

It Cosmetics Holiday 2021 Gift Guide w/reviews

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Why you ask well yes the holiday season is upon us however what is even better than that is when brands release their amazing products gift packaged at awesome prices for us to buy for others and ourselves! This year I have a first hand look at some awesome It Cosmetics Holiday gift sets for this year and they are spectacular. It is a mix of makeup and skincare. Many are new to me and a few or my favorites. Read on to learn more about these awesome It Cosmetics Holiday 2021 gift sets that were generously sent over to me in PR for review.

I will start with makeup and mention everything in no particular order. 

First is the it Cosmetics Superhero No-Tug Cream Shadow Stick Trio. Now this was completely new to me and very new to the It Cosmetics line, they first off are beautiful and the shades are all wearable for all skin tones, which makes this a very giftable set. The packaging it comes in is also beautiful as you will see in my photo and they are individual boxed if you would want to break it up into a stocking stuffer. The values is also great because you are paying only $49.00 for $72.00 worth of the longest wear eye shadow sticks I have ever owned. I wore them for a 16 hour day without any creasing or smearing. Pair this gift with the Limited Edition Superhero Elastic Stretch Mascara and you will be anyone's number one gift giver. Not only does this mascara curl and lengthen your lashes it also comes in the limited edition mascara tube that will not be around for long. It costs $25.00 and is a great gift to give any mascara lover.  

These are It Cosmetics Holiday makeup gift sets that are a must have!

Up next is the It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Setting Spray+ Duo  which is not new it has been out a while but it was a new setting spray to me. I previously reviewed the sister primer to this and love it now the setting spray is the most refreshing setting spray I have used in my makeup routine in a long time, which makes me late to the game because It cosmetics setting spray game is amazing! This is a refreshing spray that you can yes use to set your makeup for the day and it does make it last without your makeup smudging or smearing though the day or you can bring it with you for that refreshing hydration it provides with the scent of coconut. This must have set retails for $34.00 but is a $56.00 volume and would make me smile if i received as a gift. The final two makeup goodies you can gift anyone are a you choose or buy both like I would. The It Cosmetics Pillow Lips Lipstick & Lip Gloss Set which is a $48.00 value being sold for only $29.00 and comes in shade Like A Dream for both the lip stick which matte and lip gloss. This gift is not boxed individually like its counterpart the It Cosmetics Celebrate Your Lip Love Tinted Lip Gloss Trio which comes beautifully packed in holiday gift packaging however inside they are individually packaged so you can break them up as stocking stuffers its your choice and a $72.00 value being sold for $49.00 makes me want to buy one set for me and gift another. 

Now before I get to skincare I have to recommend the It Cosmetics Its Your Heavenly Luxe Skin-Loving 5-Piece Makeup Brush Set. This gift set is perfect to gift yourself or someone you love because it will provide them with 5 must have brushes from the It Cosmetics brand that will last them a very long time and it comes in a beautiful makeup brush case to keep them it. The set have a foundation, powder, concealer, blush and shadow brush which everything you need to have a beautiful makeup application with high quality brushes. This retails for $194.00 but is being sold during the holiday for only $75.00 so my advice to you is to buy it before it sell out completely. 

Wrap up these as a holiday gift and you will make someone very happy this holiday season!

Finally the last two holiday sets I am recommending for Holiday 2021 from It Cosmetics is the Prep, Prime & Set Holiday Beauty Set. This $102.00 value being sold for $59.00 is amazing because you are getting the number one moisturizer Confidence In A Cream which is what I use every morning, their Your Skin But Better Primer which is oil free and one of the only primers I use in my makeup routine and a travel size of my new (new to me) Your skin But Better Setting Spray. The last kit gives you your AM and PM moisturizer for only $75.00 but retails for $103.00 This kit is the Celebrate Your Day-To-Night Moisturizer Set and I love it. This was my first time trying the Confidence In Your Beauty Sleep and it is such a luxe moisturizer that absorbs quickly and feels so good on my skin. The set itself is a gift to give and get it will make anyone who receives it your bestie for life! 

Overall everything that It cosmetics has offered for Holiday 2021 is a win you cannot go wrong gifting any of these products to anyone in your life. The values and products are all 5 $$$$$ and are all beauty bag must haves that I have been a long time use of or am now using daily and will become a staple. Happy Holidays and Happy shopping!

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. I signed a long time ago and from time to time you may get chosen to try out products in exchange for honest reviews and I was lucky enough to be chosen for the HudaBeauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray Ultra Matte Finish VoxBox.

PUR Miracle Mist & Blue Agave Mask

Hello #BeautyBagDolls PUR Cosmetics is one of my favorite brands and I am thrilled to introduce to you two of the products that are my newest must haves to my skincare routine. The PUR Miracle Mist and PUR Blue Agave Mask.  To learn more please read on.

I love the PUR Miracle Mist it is perfect way to set my makeup! 

The PUR Blue Agave Mask is a must have for me and my skin type! (pictured on the right)

I was interested in learning that this Miracle Mist hydrating face spray instantly moisturizes dry, tired and stressed skin with more than 70 essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids. I also wanted to try this as a setting spray which is exactly what I did. It feels really nice on your skin and dries down quickly without feeling sticky or tacky. It smells amazing too which is a must because sometimes setting sprays can just smell gross and this one is the complete opposite of that. I love this PUR Miracle Mist  so much and I can see why they suggest to even use it onto your body after showering, it really hydrates in face I missed it a few times mid day just to refresh my makeup and it did rehydrate my skin and make me look dewy! You only need 2-3 sprays and it covers your entire face and neck. This is a fabulous setting spray and refreshing to use mid day to rehydrate your skin. I am giving this a 5 $$$$$. This is an absolute beauty bag must and it gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Next is the PUR Blue Agave Mask. As you may already know I am a mask addict and now I am a PUR Blue Agave Mask lover/addict I use this twice a week and it is described as "an Energy Complex of green tea, ginseng and Vitamin B helps stimulate the skin’s natural metabolism for the look of plumper, hydrated and refreshed skin. The cooling sensation and uplifting scent will leave your skin feeling totally revived." I used this on clean dry skin as direct and applied a thick layer leaving it on for 15 minutes and peel it away. I love peel away masks but this one is my favorite. The sensation it gives is a gentle cooling and tingling while it is applied to the skin it comes off easily but don't put on a thin layer or it will not peel off and you will end up only washing it off which trust me peeling it off is what you want to do. It takes all of the junk out of your pores and it is awesome. My skin was left feeling hydrated, plump, clean and glowing. It did not feel striped or dry just soft and supple. This is added to my nighttime get unready with me routine without a doubt. Worth your time and money like the PUR Miracle Mist another 5 $$$$$ that gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

PUR Cosmetics Mirclae Mist

I have been hearing a lot of hype lately about setting sprays and mists. I have been using one kind for a while now and when I heard about the PUR Cosmetics Miracle Mist I was beyond interested to try it out #BeautyBagDolls and when PUR Cosmetics sent it to me I grabbed it right out of the box.

This is a wonderful to set your makeup or to rehydrate your skin throughout the day!

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!
