Natasha Denona Hy•Glam Brightener

Beauty Bag Doll's it's good to be back! I have been gone for a minute but I have been keeping a Natasha Denona launch from all of you. I was lucky enough to try the Hy•Glam Brightener for a few weeks before it's official Sephora launch and I fell in love with it after the first use. I received the Natasha Denona Hy•Glam Brightener from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review and below I will leave for you the review I left for BzzAgent. 

My review:

This is an absolute game changer and must have! I have been using this for several weeks and my under eye area looks better than ever. This eye brighter glides on and blends out beautifully. It makes my dark circles disappear and it did not crease even after a 12 hour day. You can layer it with or without concealer depending on the coverage you need. I honestly have not reached for anything else after using this for the past 3 weeks. Natasha Denona made a brighter I can't be without.

This is an absolutely must have and a luxurious formula.


I want to note that this sells for $32.00 and is worth every penny. If you purchase this starting today at Sephora you can save 20% or 15%/10% starting April 14. Savings depends on your Sephora membership status. I personally will never be without this so I have already purchased a back up.

Innisfree Green Tea Supercharged Set for Hydration & Skin Barrier Support

Beauty Bag Doll's Happy March! Can you believe it's almost spring. I know technically it is considered meteorological spring but my skin does not agree just yet. I have been using for well over a month now a new Innisfree Green Tea Supercharged Set that was sent over to my by Skeepers for my honest review. As mentioned I had well over a month to try it out and leave a review on Sephora.com. I was of course required by Skeepers to do so and I will leave that honest review for you here.

Hydrating duo that my skincare routine has to have!


My review:

This is an awesome skincare system. The Green Tea Milk is soothing and hydrating yet my skin drank it in and glowed. The Green Tea cream hydrated my skin perfectly and kept it balanced. My skin is acne prone but this system doesn't break me out. My skin is plump, soft, glowing and has bounce to it. This is a very effective skincare system that I am sticking with. 
I kept this a secret for over a month but I know it delivers results! Firming your skin and leaves it with a glow and bounce!

Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy to bring you a new review of the Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum. I was lucky enough to receive this complimentary from Skeepers and Innisfree. I wrote my review for Skeepers after using this for three days because I was so excited about my results. I will post my initial review that I left for Skeepers and an update. This is sold at Sephora for $37.00. I hesitate with Retinol for a multiple reasons but this one has green tea which I heard good things about. So I tried it and well read on.

This is the best Retinol serum I have tried in a long time! I cannot wait to try more from Innisfree!


My Review:

This is the best firming serum. I have used it twice daily and I saw results within 3 days. The lines on my forehead softened significantly. I never had any  sensitivity just results that I am happy with. It also has no scent and absorbs quickly. 
The texture is very light and absorbs quickly!




Update: I have not stopped using it and the results are amazing. My skin is firmer and my funes lines are diminish. Give this a try. You won't regret it.

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer

 Happy July Beauty Bag Doll's! I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July and your weekend! I recently did my 3rd restock on my favorite foundation which if you read my previous posts is the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. That has been my go to Foundation since I tried it but at Sephora recently I knew I wanted to try the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer. After a few minutes of shade comparing I decided on shade 11 Light Neutral. It was the perfect choice because after getting it home and using it the next day with the foundation everything came together perfectly. 

The best new concealer I have added to my makeup bag. Oh and that applicator is everything!

The perfect shade match and the best concealer formula I have used in a while.


The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer is doing something that other concealers just don't. It is very creamy and it is not heavy. I place under my eyes and it melts into my skin. It is not a dry formula and doesn't settle into any fine lines. I prefer to blend it out with a brush. For me this concealer helps to brighten my under eye are for a few hours while Hydrating the under eyes. I have been reaching for only this Concealer for the past month that I have used it. This to me is a must have Concealer. It costs $32.00 but is worth so much more because it is a Concealer you cannot even feel it's on. 


Shop Sephora or Haus Labs to purchase.

Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30

 Happy Summer Beauty Bag Dolls! I am thrilled to be welcoming Summer and there is no better way to do so then by bringing you a review of a new sunscreen that got to try out for a while. Hero Cosmetics launched a sunscreen called Force Shield. It is a Superlight Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30. It is sold on the Hero Cosmetics website and at Ulta Beauty for $19.99. I want to note this is a 100% mineral sunscreen. 

Read on for my review And photos.

This is a must have!


Hero Cosmetics has made the impossible  possible for acne prone skin people!
It has a green tint yet blends out like a dream and does not leave a white cast. This is the best SPF for my acne prone skin. It protects against the sun without breaking me out. It protects against the sun without breaking me out. It absorbs quickly and wears well underneath makeup. It does not pill at all and can be your primer before makeup or wear it alone every day, not just during the summer months. Give this SPF a try it's not like any other.
The green tint helps with redness!

It is so lightweight and blends perfectly!

e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Powder

Hi to all of my Beauty Bag Doll's! I have a quick update and a quick review for all of you today. I have been very busy this month and May is always a super busy month for me. I have still been thoroughly testing out a few different products for all of you one test that is done for the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Powder. I will attach my review below. I also just started testing a new concealer and will have that review for you in early June. I also did some online shopping and grabbed a new to me foundation and some other goodies so stay tuned for that because they have just shipped. Now as for the e.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Powder I was lucky enough to sample this for Topbox Circle and my review is attached below.





The @elfcosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter is....


an amazing product. It is one I reach for when I want set my entire face for a long work day. It is lightweight and finely milled. It adds a hint of glow without any glitter. I highly recommend it.


It costs only $14 and comes in multiple shades. 

*Thank you, Topbox Circle for sending me this complimentary in exchange for my honest review.*

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation

 Hello to all my Beauty Bag Doll's! As you know my love for foundation as well as concealer and lip products is a real thing so of course I could not hold until the Sephora sale to purchase a new foundation I went in to buy a brow gel and walked out with that Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and it is so good and for that I have no regrets. I don't know why I didn't try it out when it went viral about 2 years ago but I have been missing out. I purchased it in shade 160 light medium. For me shade matching is so hard even in person and online it really stresses me out but I actually picked out a great shade but be aware at first it won't seem like your shade but after Blending it out with a brush first and then going in with a damp Beauty Blender is the best application. The foundation melts into the skin. I would say it is definitely buildable coverage to about medium. It is very lightweight and feels like nothing on the skin. As for a Primer I have used a Matte one and a hydrating one it just depends on your skin type and preferences. I have also got about 10 hours of wear without a primer. But 12 plus hours with one. 





This foundation looks beautiful on the skin and warm up to your skin within a few minutes. It also plays well with your cream/ liquid blushes or bronzers and contour routines. Any powder on top works well. I am telling all of you that this foundation is seriously good. Try it if you haven't yet. It retails for $49.00 and buy it during the Sephora sale and save because I didn't but I will be buying another one. Of course I have my eye in another foundation and some concealer but I am trying to control it. Now back to the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation it is a must have. It has joined my other favorite Huda Beauty Easy Blur and Illia

e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer

Beauty Bag Doll's I am so happy to be bringing you another review of a product that I really like. The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer which just recently launched and retails for $10. I was lucky enough to receive this from Topbox Circle in exchange for my honest review. I was very excited about this launch because I am a big fan of their Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinimamide as well as their Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray. The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer caught my eye because it is Matte and my combination skin type that is more oily is just what I need. Since I am a Topbox Circle member I was lucky to qualify for this to sample and I jumped on the chance. Read on for my review.




I used the e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer daily for over a week and with different types of foundations to give this Primer the ultimate test. I am happy to say that it really does work. My makeup lasted all day which for me is anywhere from 10 to 16 hour's. This kept my oily skin at bay with some days getting no touch-ups and I am thrilled to say this did not cause any breakouts on my acne prone skin. It is a clear Primer and after applying it I wait about a minute before starting my makeup and it gets very sticky which helps with getting your makeup to grip o to my skin. It also did elp with blurring my pores. I highly recommend this Primer.

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream

Happy Saturday Beauty Bag Dolls! I am thrilled to report that Drunk Elephant has done it again. They have hooked me on another moisturizer. I am a big fan and user of their Protini Moisturizer and I was looking for something more recently and I thought there is no better time to spoil myself then for my Birthday and I started to use this the day after my birthday so after a few weeks of trying this out I now have my review for all of you. I also will be starting a new foundation in the coming days so look out for a review on that sometime soon. I have to finish up my current Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation which is almost empty. I have found that this year I refuse to start a new foundation unless I have emptied one. This has become very useful for me since I go between 3 or 4 foundations in my rotation. Now back to this Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream. It retails for $70.00 at Sephora and for me it is worth it.

This is a must have!!

My combination skin tye has been very happy since adding this product into my routine. It has been very cold here on the East Coast so every night during my night skincare routine I use the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream and it has given my skin the long lasting hydration it promises. I have had no dry flakes patches on my skin that your foundation clings to in that weird way ( if you know you know) My skin has this bounce and plumpness to it. This has no scent and just feels so luxurious on the skin and on very dry skin days you can add a pump of the Drunk Elephant F-Balm like I do at least 2 or 3 times a week when the weather outside includes a wind chill factor. For me this is worth every dollar spent and I will be repuchasing it for the foreseeable future like many other Drunk Elephant products. 

Purchase on the Drunk Elephant website here or at Sephora.com here.

As I posted on X a few days ago my blog has been my first passion for 12 plus years and it will continue to be.

On another note I do have some new reviews coming because I did make some Birthday purchases and I am trying them out. You can look forward to a luxury lipbalm and a new to me moisturizer and a foundation. I know I have a addiction to trying out foundations its also not a brand new one to the market but its new to me. I didn't go overboard this year since it's right after the Holidays I wanted to get things I really think would benefit me. Also my man got me a new Nespresso Machine(as well as a Sephora and Ulta Beauty gift cards)so I will have a Instagram post on my recommend Nespresso pods. I have been trying different ones out so be ready for a post on that. What I do recommend right now to drink in the coffee world is the Starbucks Coffee Concentrates. I will post a picture below. I also will try to start posting different kinds of content for all of you because I have received all of your questions and DM's in Instagram and X. I will keep trying to expand my content as creator beyond Beauty. If you could please continue to support me on here and give me a follow on Instagram and X I would appreciate it greatly.

A New Year A New You

 Hello Beauty Bag Dolls and Happy New Year!! 2025 is really here and I know it's been 6 day's into it, my life since the holidays has not slowed down one bit. As many of you know it is a short window from Christmas to New Year to my Birthday in just mere day's so between getting together with friends and family while balancing work and play I don't have much time to breathe and it's my Birthday boom I a year wiser. With all that being said I just want update you on the upcoming month of blog/Instagram/ Twitter/TikTok posts you have to look forward to.

I have been taking these last few days before my birthday week and decluttering my skincare, haircare and makeup products that no longer serve me. I started with haircare and I must admit I have only been reaching between two brands one is Ouai and the second is Amika. I have been obsessed with haircare and lipcare products these past two months. As a matter a fact I have a Sephora cart right now with one new haircare product I have been eying and a lip product. To top it off the Birthday gift Sephora is offering is just awesome. It is one haircare product from Amika and a Makeup by Mario lip kit that has caught my attention. Leaning hard towards the lip kit because I already own and use all three pieces of the Amika Birthday kit in fact its a product I will repurchase this week. It's called the Kure from Amika I highly recommend it.

I remember when I was obsessed with foundation and concealer. As of now I cut multiple foundations and concealers that did me no favors and I am sticking with Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation and Dior Concealer. The Huda Beauty foundation is fairly new but by late February I will be purchasing my third and the Dior Concealer is my absolute favorite for so long I have gone through countless tubes. Just repurchased a fresh one in December. I will be working on my skincare decluttering this week before I checkout on Sephora.com with my Birthday gifts to myself...stay tuned for reviews and social media unboxing. 

For me the new year is all about resetting and refreshing but it also mean my birthday is almost here and I want to treat myself to something nice. I am just talking my time this year and making wise choices and not rushing to check out just to have my goodies here for my birthday. I like to view it as my birthday month. What are you all decluttering this year? Let me know. I will link my favorite products for you and I will attach some photos of some new products I love that you may have missed on my social posts these past few weeks. Happy New Year! 


In Case you missed it photos of my latest must have...


Grabbed this at Ulta Beauty because it has made acne dark spots disappear for good.

Purchased this at Target for myself it was a great holiday kit Hero Cosmetics made and included a variety of their pimple patches. 

When my lips are dry and tired of all the balms, glosses, plumping and lipsticks I apply this at night for immediate relief.

Beakey Beauty blenders sold on Amazon 

Beakey Beauty makeup brushes sold on Amazon 

Grabbed this from Target because they are affordable and smell beautiful. I wanted to change up by request from all of you Beauty Bag Dolls instead of buying another overpriced perfume I found something that was just as good this past year! Thank you for your tips XOXO

belif Aqua Bomb Eye Gel

Happy Saturday Beauty Bag Dolls!! I have been busy testing out a product specifically for my under eye area particularly for dark circles and eye bags. My particularly concern is dark circles so I was thrilled at the chance to try this brand new launch from belif and I want to let you all know this is my latest BzzAgent mission so I want to thank them as well for sending me this complimentary sample in exchange for my honest review. The cost for this is $32.00 and it it is sold at Sephora. This is not my most expensive eye cream but for me mid range since I have paid anywhere between 25 to 60 dollars for an eye cream. Right now I am loving this one for my PM routine because it works best for me to have the appearance of lighter dark circles. I did use it twice a day for a few days but then changed up to my currentPM only routine. Now that I clarified a few things that I do not need to do for my BzzAgent review I will attach my review that I left for BzzAgent below.




The belif Aqua Bomb Eye Gel is the only eye product that has worked for my dark circles. The results for me were visible after 3 days of use both AM and PM application. It also helped with puffiness immediately not only because of the formula but because the ceramic applicator is so cooling and a perfect touch. I really have nothing this good that I have tried that truly helped with dark circles, I use it under my makeup and my makeup lays smooth and looks hydrated. I highly recommend the belif Aqua Bomb Eye Gel because it works!!

bareMinerals Mineral Veil w/SPF25 & Supreme Finisher Brush

 Happy Friday Beauty Bag Dolls!! I hope you have a beautiful week and have a beautiful weekend ahead! I mentioned last month that I was looking for a new setting powder and I am lucky enough to try one from bareMinerals that also has SPF25 built-in to it. I also got to try out the bareMinerals Supreme Finisher Brush as well and I left my reviews for BzzAgent and below I will leave them for you.




The bareMinerals Mineral Veil has been the translucent powder I have been looking for my entire life! It sets my makeup for my entire 12 plus hour day but it erases my pores without leaving any white cast. It glides on perfectly with bareMinerals Supreme Brush which make it look like an airbrushed finish. The addition of the SPF is something I never seen on the market until trying out mineral veil and I love it for the extra protection over makeup and I dust this on on my no makeup day just for the SPF factor and so my skin has Tha poreless perfection look. Give this setting powder a try, it's amazing!!





The bareMinerals Supreme Finisher Brush is my number one Brush! I am wowed by how soft it is yet how it just picks up the right amount of product to dust onto my face. I use it with the bareMinerals Mineral Veil with SPF25 and I get the perfect amount of loose setting powder on the brush and Brush it onto my skin. It evenly distributes it without being heavy handed. This brush is an absolute must. It has a sturdy handle and never lost a brush hair. My advice is get yourself bareMinerals brushes ( and makeup) you will not look back because it is the best!! I am hooked.
