Wearable New Years Eve Makeup


Here's my super easy, AND super wearable New Years look!
If you want something more dramatic,
then define the liner some more,
put some in the waterline,
then add some fun lashes!
I came up with this and instantly loved it!
I did try the dramatic side of it,
but I wanted to record just the simple/wearable version.
So I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas,
and a great New Year!
:)

Champagne Bubbles Holiday Makeup Tutorial


Who's excited for Christmasssss?!?!?
(Or whatever Holiday you celebrate!!!)
After rewatching my other Holiday video this year,
I realized it was pretty dark, and dramatic.
So I came up with this for the more day time appropriate wearers.
You could totally skip out on the lip liner and just use the gloss if you wanted too.
It'd be easier to take with you and touch up!
I still have a New Years 2-in-1 type of video planned!
A wearable version bumped out to a dramatic one by a few extra steps!
Have a great, and safe Christmas my loves!
<3

FCS Bubble Bar Review - Review a Day


Can I reuse my pun from yesterday?
No?
Darn...

This big guy, (or girl, I don't discriminate),
is FCS's step into bubble bars!
Kind of like the salts, but in a solid form.
Again, I described the scent, Unicorn Farts, in my body wash review,
so you can go find that if you want to know!
This SLS free bar will give you 2, maybe even 3, baths for your bath taking pleasure!

I thought the colors were gorgeous in contrast with each other, and with some added glitter for some sparkle.
The smell (pre-bath) was super strong! It was like an air freshener haha.
I found it pretty hard to cut, though it didn't crumble into a million pieces like the bath bombs do.
A trick in using these,
the more water pressure, the better.
So crank that baby up!
While the water's running, you crumble it in your hand under the water.
Being that it was hard to cut, I also found it hard to crumble.
Even though I found the water to be very pretty, the bubbles died down and disappeared in almost no time after I got in.
As well as the scent!
Which made me sad! :(
Another thing that made me sad, was that I didn't find it to be as moisturizing as their other bath products I've tried.

With that said, I was kind of disappointed.
Which makes me sad that I have to leave Review a Days with a let down product!
Though, I do recommend that you can only judge a product by personal experience.
Mine was old, so that could have affected the performance of the product,
but this was my experience.
If I were to commit to a product,
it'd be the salts.
You get 3oz. more, for $4 more,
but you also get more baths out of it, as opposed to 2-3.

So with that said, this installment of my Review a Day series is complete!
I never know when I bring it back, but I want to thank you all for watching and reading if you have!
And after tomorrow, I'll be done annoying you every day with an upload!
:)

How much is it?
$8.99 - 7oz.

Where can I get it?

FCS Bubbling Bath Salt Review - Review a Day


Rub a dub dub, bubbles in the tub!

Fortune Cookie Soap's new Bubbling Bath Crystals take the amazing effects of using bath salts, and added in the fun and relaxing properties of bubbles!
That's right! No more "naked" baths!
That's a downside of bath bombs and salts,
the water is bland, or,
"naked."
So, unless your really in the mood for a bath, can be quite awkward just laying there.

But fret no more!
Pour a 1/2 cup of these bad boys under running water to experience a frothy, detoxifying, AND relaxing bath.
Heaven? Is that you?
These crystals are sls, paraben, and cruelty free!
The ones I received are,
"It's Egg Nog *%@%^*!"
Which claim to smell, obviously, like egg nog.
To me, I find it to smell like a creamy, milky, spice!
Which kind of leans towards egg nog, but not fully!

I was very shocked by the amount of bubbles they produced!
I mean, check it out in the video!
After I was done filling the tub up, I put my hand in to agitate the water,
thus, creating more bubbles!
After dissolving, the smell was nearly, if not, gone.
Which results in no lingering smell on your skin.
And as a wise man, or woman, once said,
"All good things come to an end",
applies for the bubbles as well.
I'd say they lasted 10-15 minutes.
I found this to be very moisturizing and relaxing for my skin!
Like, super relaxing!

I'd definitely give these a try!
The egg nog crystals are a creamy yellow color,
so my water didn't change.
Though the colored ones, may or may not, change the color slightly.

How much is it?
$13 - 10oz.

Where can I find it?

FCS Body Lotion Review - Review a Day


I'm too tired to even think of some sarcastic opening, so here's the opening.

Tiredness aside, FCS introduced yet another new product to the company,
body lotion!
They have their Whipped Creams, which are body butters, but these are a paraben free, lightweight, little brother to the whipped creams!
Body butters can be used during the day,
but are thicker/heavier.
Whereas lotion, is a thinner textured, that are in return, light weight.
I found that this sunk right into the skin, just as I've experienced with their whipped creams. 
However, I did find these to be just as, if not more, moisturizing than their body butters!
(Though, I've only had samples of the whipped creams, so I know I salvaged the amount I used :p)
Their lotions are targeted towards dry, chapped skin,
which basically describes my skin!
My skin feels nice, smooth, and hydrated once the product sinks in.
They also claim it's great for the face, but I haven't tried that aspect out!

The scent, which I find hysterical, is:
Cram Your Face In My Sweet Pumpkin Pie.
How funny is that?
They describe it as pure pumpkin pie.
I find that it's a very strong, spicy smell.
Which smells really good, but I don't know how I feel about walking around smelling like that.
I find it to be more of a house smell, like in an air freshener/candle form.
Because of the scent's strength,
it last 12, (yes 12!) hours on me!!
After a few hours the spicy notes fade away into this very yummy, creamy, sweet smell, which I don't mind smelling like!
I tested the whipped creams longevity, and it only last 4!
Then again, it's really based on the scent as well!

Overall, I find it's a really good lotion!
No oily feel on my skin, which I DESPISE about lotions.
This just sinks in and moisturizes!
I find that it lives up to what it claims too!
And the scent longevity/moisturizing properties are incredible!
Definitely high up on my list of lotions!

How much is it?
$9.99 - 4oz.
$12.99 - 8oz. (This size comes with a pump!)

Where can I find it?
