PUR Cosmetics Miracle 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.

A few spritzes of this Miracle Mist from PUR and your makeup is set and your skin is hydrated!


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!

dermalogica Hydrablur Primer

As a makeup lover I have never loved extra steps in my makeup routine on days that I need to be out the door and over the past few years I have become a lover of primers (I used to avoid them) It is hard to find a good one but the dermalogica Hydrablur Primer is one that I love to use not only before applying my makeup but to seal in my skincare before bedtime. To purchase click here and to find out why I love it read on.
This primer minimizes pores and is oil mattifying which makes a perfect primer for me since I have combination skin!

The dermalogica Hydrablur Primer is described as a lightweight, non-greasy primer minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, mattifies against oily shine and imparts a silky, luminous finish to skin." The "H2ORelease Complex and Abyssinian Oil help provide intense, sustained release moisturization that locks in optimum hydration levels." For me a lightweight non greasy primer is a must since I have acne prone skin I do not want to be putting something I my skin that could be break it out. This is great for my sensitive acne prone skin it beautifully lays down a silky smooth finish that preps my skin for makeup application. All the while the Hydrablur Primer does not make my skin feel dry instead it mattifies against oil shine and leaves a hydrated feeling to my skin. I love this primer because it also minimizes my pores which makes my makeup look so much better. I like putting some on at night to seal in my skincare so it doesn't melt off onto my pillow. The fact that I want to wear a primer at night speaks volumes to how much I love this one, I mean hello the extra step doesn't bother me at all! This is a beauty bag must and a 5 $$$$$ for sure. It get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

PUR Cosmetics Makeup Brushes

#BeautyBagDolls you have asked me and I am so happy I get to answer. Your always asking me about makeup application tools, whether to uses brushes versus sponges or a combination of both. I am a girl who uses both and I am also happy to bring to you a review of 2 makeup brushes from PUR Cosmetics.

Two makeup brushes from PUR Cosmetics that are a must have!



The first brush is the PUR Cosmetics Powder Foundation Brush.  This brush is a beautiful brush that is used to apply powder foundation so it get a lot of use from me. I am a powder foundation girl all day every day even if I apply a liquid I use powder over top. The PUR Cosmetics Powder Foundation Brush picks up just the right amount of powder foundation and glides over my face with easy distributing it evenly. The brush hairs are soft yet densely packed while the hand is chubby but short and easy to grasp. The brush hairs are synthetic fibers and PUR product are 100% cruelty free. The PUR Cosmetics Powder Brush also hold up to being cleaned with brush cleanser and laying it flat to dry. It did not lose even one hair which made me extremely happy that this brush will be in my beauty bag for a long time! the PUR Cosmetics Powder Brush is a must have and the price is just right. I give it a 5 $$$$$ and some EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Now for anyone who reads this blog they know I love to contour and finding the right contour brush is not easy however PUR Cosmetics Contour Foundation Brush is the perfectly shaded brush for my face. It naturally fits into the areas I contour. The brush is very tightly pack and dense. Its shape also come to a point. I can tap it into my crème highlight/contour kit to pick up product and it helps me place the product in the exact place I want it on my face. I have never been able to sculpt my face like this before. Like the Powder Foundation Brush it is made with synthetic hairs and is cruelty free. It holds up beautifully to being cleansed. I love this PUR Cosmetics Contour Foundation Brush and it is a beauty bag must that is getting a 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil

As a new fan of dermalogica I am so happy to be bringing you a review of their new Phyto Replenish Oil. I am beyond excited to share this review with you. Recently I have become more and more of a fan of face oils but you know that they have to be the right one. I have combination oily to dry skin that is sensitive and acne prone so I am picky when it comes to skincare and especially oils. I was excited to try this one. To purchase click here and to find out my experience read on.
My skin has never glowed more! I love this Phyto Replenish Oil from Dermalogica! Skin changing!

After cleansing (click here to learn about dermalogica double cleanse) I most of the time follow with an oil and/or moisturizer (sometimes I even mix the two in my hands then apply) For me the oil part of my routine depends on my type that day. I know that even if my skin is oily applying a moisturizer is a non negotiable. When I opened the dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil I was excited because this one promises to rapidly absorb and reinforce the skin's protective barrier. This truly is different because have I applied around 5-6 drops on my face I looked in the mirror and I didn't look shiny or oily at all it quickly absorbed into my skin without leaving and greasy feeling in fact I could snap my fingers immediately. I also had a glow to my skin that I never had before and in the mornings which is when I rarely apply an oil to my face I did so with the dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil because I found the quick absorption and wrinkle pluming to be a must in the morning. It made applying powder foundations a breeze because my skin was pump and the foundation didn't crease into my fine lines and wrinkles. On days that my skin was dry I used it twice on days that it was not I used it once. This oil really gave me glowing skin and when I combined it with the moisturizer from dermalogica (reviewing coming soon, stay tune) I had really a healthy glowing complexion. I am a huge fan of the dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil and its a 5 $$$$$ for every reason listed above. A beauty bag must and this gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

PUR Cosmetics No Filter Primer

#BeautyBagDolls  I am so glad to be able to bring you a review of the PUR Cosmetics No Filter Blurring Photography Primer. For me this is a totally different primer than I am used to! I usually always apply my primer before applying makeup and it is colorless. The PUR Cosmetics No Filter Primer can be used that way as well or you can add it to your foundation or layered under powder highlighters for an instant boost of radiance and all over the body for a healthy, glowing appearance from head to toe. To purchase your click here.
If you want luminosity from a primer the PUR Cosmetics No Filter Primer is your must have like is mine!

Now for me this is a different primer because like I mentioned it is not completely clear or white it has a luminosity to it. I mean its white but it has an iridescent sheen to it which is absolutely beautiful. In all honesty I want it all over my face neck and décolletage. Another great fact about this primer that separates it from other is that if you mix it with foundation any foundation including my favorite from PUR the Bare All 4 in 1 Foundation to give it a luminosity as you apply it. I just love the glow it gives to the foundation and that really separates this primer from others. I also put this on top of my finish makeup look on the apples of my cheeks just to add a highlight glow to my skin. I am just saying this truly is the ultimate multi-tasking primer. Its a beauty bag must with a 5 $$$$$ it is worth every dollar spent and I am giving it EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

dermalogica Cleansing

Today #BeautyBagDolls I am bringing you a review of a truly wonderful line of skincare products. This line is dermalogica. I was thrilled to get a generous box  of their products to review and I immediately started with their cleansing products. Included was the dermalogica precleanse and the dermalogica special cleansing gel. If you would like to purchase these visit here.
This double cleanse combination from Dermalogica is a beauty bag must have for clean skin!

I am the girl that double cleanses pretty much everyday. If I have makeup on then you bet I am double cleansing. First I use a makeup remover to take off all the makeup then I follow up cleanse just to make sure I am getting all the dirt and grime off of my face to prep it for skincare. The only exception to my double cleanse routine is my morning routine I use a regular cleanser or sometimes I exfoliate in the morning (which helps with a great makeup application) Dermalogica has the perfect product for all of the double cleansers out there it is the dermalogica precleanse. This is a deep cleansing oil that melts impurities and makeup from the skin. I am so excited about this product because this truly melted away all of my makeup including waterproof mascara and layers of concealers, foundations and blush/bronzer. You use this by pumping some out onto your dry hands massage over dry face and eyes to dissolve surface oil and dirt. This step gets even better because you then wet your hands and massage it all over face until it turns into a milky emulsion then rinse with warm water. You have officially removed all the makeup from your skin and have prepped it for your cleanser which in this case is the dermalogica special cleansing gel. The dermalogica special cleansing gel is a "soap-free, foaming gel cleanses all skin conditions," it has a "refreshing lather thoroughly removes impurities without disturbing the skin's natural moisture balance." My skin usually feels tight and dry after most cleanings however this is different and I know this because I have used in combination with the precleanse as well as alone in the my morning routine. This lathers nicely and feels nice on the skin however after I rinse my skin doesn't feel tight or dry it just feels smooth and clean. For me with my combination oily to dry acne prone skin this is the cleansing routine that doesn't irritate or cause breakouts for my sensitive skin. These are two beauty bag must haves that are a 5 $$$$$ and are getting EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

To purchase your click here.
The fastest way to get the perfect pony tail from hairdo.

I was so happy to have this on Saturday because I went out with friends and I wanted a fun but easy hair style and the hairdo 23" Color Splash Wrap Around Pony was the perfect solution. 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 Lavender 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. I only wanted to spend a few minutes doing my hair to go out and that's exactly what I did. I put my hair in a ponytail and  the long and wavy pony includes a smooth strip of hair that wraps around the holder and fastens it in with a hook-and-loop strip to conceal where the ponytail met my own hair. This was so simple and in the end I looked amazing. My friends thought I went to the salon and had my hair done, they had no clue it was a fun extension that will take me 10 seconds to take out at the end of the night!

hairdo. Invisible Extension

Well #BeautyBagDolls I recently review the hairdo French Braid Band and that was impressive but now I am floored with the hairdo Invisible Extension. The shade choices are a wide range-I mean there is 13 shades to choose from which makes it very easy to match your exact shade. The fact that this is a clip free halo hair extension is my favorite part! I have always used the clip type extensions and they can be a pain in more ways then one but I put up with it for the added volume/length and dimension of color it gives me. I will no longer have to hassle with clips now the hairdo Invisible Extension has come into my life. To buy yours visit here.
This hairdo Invisible Extensions is so comfortable you will forget you have it in.



I received this in the Buttered Toast shade which is great for me because it blends with my current hair color nicely yet it adds an extra dimension of color that make my face look more alive! I am also thrilled with the fact that it adds such a great amount of volume to my usual over teased hair. When I slip this over my head and work it into the spot I want it I can literally just go out the door! Its that easy! I want to note that the length on this hairdo Invisible Extension is 20 inches and that you can flat iron, cur or blow dry it. It is made withTru2Life heat-friendly synthetic hair which is why your can style it the way you want it. The color will blend beautifully because it made up to 7-11 shades to blend. I am thrilled with how lightweight it is. You will truly forget that you put it in. I know I did. I also got a lot of compliments, not the extensions just that my hair looked good! I am telling you this blends seamlessly and looks amazing! This gets a 5 $$$$$ and without a doubt is a beauty bag must. I must shout out some EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA as well!

So #ITGirls and #BeautyBagDolls just when you think you have your spring makeup routine figured out It Cosmetics kicks it up a notch by launching their  Confidence In Your Glow Blushing Bronzer with Wonder Brush at QVC. OMG my jaw dropped to the ground when I saw this. It looks beautiful and when I watched the presentation live on QVC I knew that this was a product I couldn't resist. It has your highlighter, blush and bronzer all in one palette that you can sweep across and apply all over your face for an instant glow. It also comes with an amazing brush to apply it with called the Wonder Brush and if you know It Cosmetics than you know they make top quality brushes. I also want to note these come in three shade selections for you to choose from which will be best for your skin tone. Shades are Natural Glow, Nude Glow and Warm Glow. I wear the medium shade in their powder and liquid cosmetics but I can also wear their Light shade at times depending on the season and how much sun I get so when choosing which one of the shades in this new IT Cosmetics Confidence In Your Glow Blushing Bronzer I would say I can wear the Natural Glow but I am leaning toward the Nude Glow just because I know I will start self tanning and getting more of a sun kissed look as the spring and summer season progresses.
