FCS Body Wash Review - Review A Day!


Thus the return of my Review A Days!
Are you ready to see me every day for over a week?
I hope so!
Today is the Fortune Cookie Soap Body Wash!
As said in the video,
I was soooo excited that they came out with body wash.
Especially because I'm usually rushing to get ready,
and with body wash, you just lather on and go!

This body wash is paraben, sls, cruelty, and sulfate free!
Though the sulfate free variety costs a wee bit more!
For those unaware, sulfate is the lathering agent in shampoos, soaps, etc.
Most, if not all, of the time it dries the skin out.
So products without sulfate, usually have a more creamy lather, instead of bubbles galore.
(Though, FCS's shampoos have killer bubbles AND are sulfate free!)

The texture of the gel, is realllly gelly.
Instead of being a liquid gel,
it's more of a legit gel.
Which I think is a fun texture!
I have the one with sulfate, so it actually does lather really well,
and I don't find this product to be drying at all for containing sulfate.
I wouldn't say it's AS moisturizing as their soaps,
which are sulfate free,
so I'm sure the sulfate free type would be just as moisturizing.

The scent "Unicorn Farts" is very unique.
I think it depends on your sense of smell, as to what you pick up.
For me, I smell some bubble gum,
that has a tart bite too it, as well as a floral background.
It's not my personal favorite,
but I DO like it!

Now where can you get this beauty you may ask?
And just how much is it?
This product retails for:
$9.99 - 4oz.
$12.99 - 8oz.
And the sulfate free kind:
$14.99 - 4oz.
$16.98 - 8oz.

And this product can be found at:

Buttercup Inspired Makeup - Powerpuff Girls Series


And alas, this series is now complete!
I think it's the first time in almost 3 years that I've actually finished one.
Granted, it WAS only 3 videos haha.
So bam! Here's tomboy Buttercup!
How suiting is it for Jared to have the dramatic smokey eye?
Also, the past few videos I've said to look out for something in each video,
did you guess what it is?
I'll give you a few...
.

All of our hair colors matched out character's!

So I hope you guys enjoyed this series!
Plenty of more to come!
Trust me!

Urban Decay Junkshow - In A Wearable Way!


So disregarding how dramatic the liner got,
it's not so bad right?
I mean, the pink is definitely not at it's full potential,
which is the point!
In my standards, it's still wearable,
but I can see how people would disagree!
Anyway,
to see a dramatic way of using "Junkshow",
go watch my "Scene Queen" video!

Keep reading for more pictures, a product list, and the tutorial!

***UNDER CONSTRUCTION***

Don't mind any mishaps,
or any glitches regarding the blog.
As you can see,
I'm trying to revamp the entire thing!
So bare with me and I'll get it done eventually!
I'm not good with html coding AT ALL.
Hope you like the changes so far though! 

And don't mind that picture, that's just for future use.
:p

New Sigma Products!

I normally only post blog posts when I have a tutorial or review to share,
but I just got a Sigma Beauty affiliate email with sneak peeks of a BUNCH of new products!
I'll start off with the product picture,
name,
release date,
and a description!
I don't have prices, so I apologize! :(


The Cities Collection
Launch Date: November 21

I think these are soooo cute! As by the name, these are travel kits inspired by renown cities, such as London (brown), Paris (red), Tokyo (pink), and New York (black).  These are like the Make Me Up kits: colored ferrules, handles, and a container that doubles as a brush holder.
I think these are adorable! And I definitely want either the red one (Paris), or..just realized London was brown...I wish they were yellow!
I'd have to see pictures!
Or the pink ones!
(I feel like that'd be a little much though :p)
And best believe I'd keep the box!
I have a bad habit of hoarding packaging :\


Make Me Up Travel Edition
Launch Date: November 28

Here are the Make Me Up kits I cited above, except in travel form! I think the purple and the coral ones are gorgeous!
And like the Cities kits, the container also doubles as two brush holders!


The Bunny Collection
Launch Date: December 5

I think this is ADORABLE! 
This is Sigma's take on vegan, so obviously cruelty free, brushes.
The bristles are made with their Sigmax HD fibers,
which trust me,
are some, if not,
the softest thing that's ever touched my face.
The collection will include a full size, 
which includes 12 full size brushes,
and a travel kit,
which has 7 travel brushes.
Both will come with the container that doubles as a holder.
I also loveee the periwinkle and pink color combo.
This is definitely on my list.


The Extravaganza Face Kit
Launch Date: December 12

As you can tell, these are very lavish, super fluffy, face brushes with real 18K gold plated ferrules!
These look awesome! 
I can only imagine how soft they all are,
and the fan brush has caught my eye.
Pretty sure you can only buy these in kit form, but they also come with a deluxe carrying case!


The Extravaganza Complete Kit
Launch Date: December 19

Just like the face kit, but for everything!
I'm getting the impression that they may be for individual sale as well!
(Don't quote me!)

Anything make your Christmas list?
I definitely want the Bunny collection, and one of the Cities kits!
Let me know what you want/think of the products!

Mother Gothel - Disney Villains Makeup Series


New...Series....Tiiiiimmeee.
*Evil Laugh*
Though, I have yet to finish some, 
one in particular...
...Sailor Moon...
But,
it'll happen!
This series came about because of a subscriber, and friend of mine,
Sarah.
She had posted a Disney Villains video with her friend,
which then inspired me to do it,
and we talked,
and this came about!
We'll both have a video for each villain we choose,
and I'm excited!
Are you??

So here's my interpretation on Mother Gothel, from Tangled.
I personally, haven't seen the movie,
but I just went off pictures that I could find.
These tutorials will either be interpretations, recreations, or inspirations.
Just depends on pictures found and the villain.
So I hope you guys like this!
