Organix Shampoo Review


With a catchy and unique design, Organix has been making a bold appearance in stores from Walmart to Shoppers Drug Marts and more. Their natural ingredients, obtained from all over the world, are used for their focus of shampoos, with an additional hair and body products.  

The shampoos each serve a different purpose, some with oils such as macadamia oil and argan oil, to coconut milk and vitamin e and b5. 

A popular shampoo, often one seen in stores, is the argan oil of morocco. As the name says, the argan oil comes from Morocco, which is located north west in Africa. The argan nut is filled with vitamin E and antioxidants leaving hair soft and shiny while protecting it from the sun. Locals have used the ingredient for centuries. 



Another popular Organix shampoo is their coconut milk shampoo. Originated in the Philippines, this shampoo works to strengthen and hydrate your hair, as well as adding the perfect shine. Plus, who doesn't love the smell of coconuts?

M.A.C Cosmetic lipstick Vegas Volt Review

M.A.C cosmetic is well-known for their professional makeup products. I bought a tones of lipsticks from the brand because the colors of the shades are always beautiful and attractive.
I bought this Vegas Volt long time ago. It is a beautiful coral color that fits very well with the spring. M.A.C divides lipsticks by their finish. Lipsticks are divided into 9 different categories, they are amplified, amplified creme, cremesheen, frost, glaze, lustre, matte, retro matte and satin.
Vegas Volt belongs to the amplified creme category. It is very creamy feels like butter when I tried it on my hand. The product is very pigmented, so be careful do not wear too much if you want yourself look casual. The only problem I found is it is a bit dry for me. It actually makes my lip lines seem deeper if I do not use lip balm. The product lasts very long, about 4-6 hours. I found it still on my lips even after dinner.
This is my swatch for Vegas Volt both on hand an on my lips.

Summary:

M.A.C Cosmetic Lipstick- shade: Vegas Volt $19.50
Very pigmented lipstick with beautiful color, dry, long-lasting

Say hello to whiter teeth!

Many people spend large amounts of money buying teeth whitening strips and whitening toothpaste, or even get it done professionally. But sometimes the best methods can be done in the comfort of your home!

 First combine 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide(3%)* with 3 teaspoons of baking soda. Mix together until a paste forms. Place mixture onto toothbrush and proceed to brushing your teeth in small circles. Do this until teeth are covered then let the mixture sit on your teeth for 2 minutes.

 Next wash your mouth thoroughly with water and brush your teeth with toothpaste as you normally would. This is to ensure you get rid of any remaining hydrogen peroxide mixture.






 Doing this once a week can maintain results and give you a brighter smile!



 *Using 3% hydrogen peroxide has been acknowledge as a safe practice by the American Dental Association.*

Swatch and Review of YSL Rouge Pur Couture No.52

The YSL Rouge Pur Couture is the classic lip product line of the brand. In this blog, I will share my review of the No.52 shade Rosy Coral with you.
The shade used to be out of stock globally. I could not buy it until last year. Comparing the product line with other product lines, Rouge Pur Couture is drier but more pigmented. I find if you use primer or lip balm before you wear it, it will not dry your lips. The lipstick produces a smell like roses which please me a lot. Usually I do not like pigmented lipsticks because they are dry, but this product line does contain many beautiful shades that I cannot say "no" to them.
The No.52 is a bright pink color as the lipstick looks like. The product line is very pigmented. It is the the same color as the lipstick appears. It usually lasts more than 5 hours which is very long lasting. If you have one, remember to use lip product remover to remove it. I have very deep lip lines. The product fills into my lip lines which sometimes make it seem ugly. If you are having the same trouble with me, try to do exfoliation weekly and wear lip balms everyday before sleep.



Summary:
Product: Yves Saint Laurent-Rouge Pur Couture No.52 Rosy Coral
Link: Yves Saint Laurent No.52 Amazon
Overall: very pigmented, long-lasting lip product

Review of YOUNG BLOOD Cosmetics foundation

We all know how good natural and mineral cosmetics are for our skin, so let’s not waste time talking about what we already know.

I was recently introduced to YOUNG BLOOD Cosmetics, more so, YOUNG BLOOD LOOSE MINERAL FOUNDATION.

















The product has various minerals, is easy to apply and does not clog pores. This is important especially if you have acne or other types of skin flaws. The best thing is that it covers completely the redness and other various skin imperfections. Does not makes your skin looking dry, but is creamy and smooth. It blends in with the skin color and type, adapts to your skin. I am very impressed. Whenever I wear mineral foundation, I usually concealer first then lightly apply the foundation on top…but I wanted to see what this stuff could really do on its own. The result? I didn’t have anything to conceal after!



















Price: $42 USD for 0.35oz / 10g 
 Overall: An incredibly silky, luxurious mineral makeup. Buildable coverage with a completely flawless finish- I’m totally head over heels for it (besides the packaging)
Rating: A-

Review of YSL Rouge VOLUPTÉ Shine No.15

Purchase Here: YSL Rouge VOLUPTÉ Shine No. 15



















Rouge Volpte Shine is the best-selling lip product of all the YSL lipstick product lines. The No 15 shade is called Extreme Coral. It produces a coral color on your lips. I love this product line because it is creamy and produces a butter-feeling on your lips and a fruity smell. This product line is very pigmented. If you are looking for a lipstick that is not dry, but also have a fair pigment, this is the one. However, for girls that are looking for pigmented lipsticks, this is still not a product for you. You can choose deep color shades in this product line as well, if you really love the product but want to get a balance between pigment and moisturizing.

The product does not last long. Usually after 3 hours, I have to refine my make-up. The amazing effect I found about this product is it can hydra your lips and cure them with their special formula. I find my dry lips get moisture after wearing it.

I didn't wear any primer before use it, so it appeared much pinker. If you wear a primer, it will be a bright peachy orange shade.
