First I have a full first impressions where I take you throughout the day and see how all these products wear.

New Products:

  • Cushion Contour $5.99
  • Cushion Highlight $5.99
  • Megaglo Highlight $4.99
  • Contour Stick $3.99
  • Blush Stick $3.99
  • Photo Focus Foundation $5.99

After Using these products for almost a month and really trying them in all different ways I have a full review on the Foundation..

Overall the Foundation is my personal favorite! I think it looks beautiful on camera, in pictures & in person. As it warms up to the skin it becomes almost skin like. It looks so natural and beautiful. Also it is a High Medium Coverage when applied with a brush & it is perfect for my needs.

1-2 (1)This is one of my Recent Editorial Style Instagram Pics where I’m wearing the Foundation. Also it matches perfectly with my undertone.

  • WetNWild Photo Focus Foundation Golden Beige (Matches Fit Me Matte & poreless 220)

 

 

As far as the other products I tried the cushion products are amazing. I love how they dry down completely so I don’t need to set it. It also lasted longer than any of the other contour / highlight products I have tried from wet n wild. IMG_20170107_164856_288

I also love the undertone of their contour shades, the cushion & stick. They are a perfect natural shade that isn’t too warm or too cool. I feel like these are the most universal shades. Plus the cushions last me 12 hrs (when applied with a brush)

 

WetnWild is one of the most affordable brands at the drugstore; and for them to come out this year with some amazing products is fantastic. I feel like they came out swinging!

  • PhotoFocus Foundation Golden Beige

AsaVea Hair Straightening Brush Review

thumb

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Its been a long time since I have done a post. With that said one of my new years resolution is to be more consistent in my blog & youtube. I really want to do more this year and I hope you guys are as excited as I am for this new year! So Im starting out this year right with a giveaway! With that said you will have to wait till  the end to learn more about that. Today I wanted to tell you my thoughts and experience with the AsaVea Hair Straightening Brush*. I was sent this brush a couple weeks ago to try out and I have been so impressed with it that I decided to do a whole blog post about it.

4-review-copy

Lets talk about what the company claims really quickly (Inserted exactly from the website*) Advanced MCH ceramic heat technology delivers a consistent optimum temperature
Suitable for a variety of hair types with seven temperature levelsfrom 330˚F to 450˚F
Give you smooth, straight, frizz-free hair in half the time it takes to use a flat iron.

 

PROS:

  • Heats up & Cools Down Quickly
  • Because of the Bristles it creates a barrier between you and the flat iron part to help prevent burning; although the bristle still get hot they are not as hot as the iron plate underneath.
  • Decreases frizz when straightening because of the brush & iron combo. (although for my hair it definitely illuminates some of the frizz but not all because of how frizzy & damaged my hair truely is)
  • Temperature is suitable to fit all hair types. I like to have it at 410
  • Straightens & styles my hair without leaving it flat. It straightens it & gives it volume.
  • Love how it styles BANGS does an amazing job & makes it easier. (see video below for small demo)
  • Minimizes damage because I only pull it through my hair 2 times!

CONS:

  • Takes the same amount of time for me to straighten my hair. (But for others with super super curly hair & non manageable hair it can minimize your hair straightening time if you use this first)
  • If you have really tangly or damaged hair you need to use a brush first or it will rip your hair out. Its not soft enough to use this to get tangles out!
  • For some the Price will be a CON it retails for $54.94* ; But with that said to get a really nice straightener it costs about the same or even less than a CHI

9-review

So with that said lets talk about some Tips & Tricks to making this the most affective.

  1. I comb my hair through before using this
  2. I divide it into 1inch sections
  3. I pull my hair straight (still gently) while I pull the comb through
  4. Start at the very roots & pull through slowly
  5. DO NOT STOP Always keep moving to prevent any burning or damage
  6. AT the very end curl the ends by turning your wrist in or out depending on what look you are going for
  7. USE a Hair oil/elixer * or Spray*to get rid of all frizz .
  8. At the Crown I Will divide the section I would usually tease and put Comb at the base & pull backwards (Making a n motion)to give it extra volume. (See video same motion as I do with my bangs)

Here is how my hair turned out: Before & After (see video below)

2-review5-review

I was a skeptic but now I have converted to the Straightening brush way haha. I really do enjoy using it and because I don’t get burned as easily I will definitely use this more than my straightener. Even though I do not have really curly kinky hair I have seen it used on that hair type and it works wonders as well. So with all that said in my opinion I think it will work on all hair types & it is worth the buy.

Here is my full review , where I show the Straightening Brush & I show you a full demo of me using it!

Hello My Bondbeautys,

I love this because It incorporates a dark red lip that looks stunning paired up with a cranberry eye. Of course this makeup looks beautiful no matter what lipstick you pick.  Also because I love you guys I made a video tutorial for you to follow if you want to recreate this yourself!

*I do get compensation if you use my link, if you choose not to then feel free to look them up yourself.

So lets do this smokey eye look.

  1. Put LULU in the Crease with a blending brush
  2. Put NYC on the Lid
  3. Put PARIS in the center of the lid and blend edges with NYC
  4. Put CLAUDIA close to the lashes , in the outer corner of the Lid & into the crease lightly to add some depth
  5. Add Violeta to the crease  and outer corner area
  6. Add Hollywood into the Inner Corner/Tear Duct Area to brighten and under the brow

Now all you need is some Eyeliner & Lashes! (watch video to see it done)

After Applying The Bronzer in the contour area of the cheek, I added the blush & Highlight. Then to finish this look you just put on a beautiful dark lipstick. Personally I am obsessed with Matte Liquid Lipsticks they are so beautiful! I feel like they are easier to work with & last longer on the lips.

Hello my Bondbeautys,
I am so sorry I have been absent I have been sick after sick after sick. Now I’m talking about weird sicknesses that I didn’t even know about, for example Vertigo who has ever heard of that? I guess its a inner ear problem, that happens when crystals go into the wrong ear canal! I know it sounds unreal, anyways thats not why I’m doing a post for you. Today Im sharing some of my halloween costumes ideas for this year I thought why not share them just in case you haven’t seen them.

First, Queen of Hearts:I wanted to make her look really dark, but sexy. So I went with a smokey eye, this is the makeup I would do on myself if I were her.

Second, Enchantress from Suicide Squad: I just knew I had to do a character from suicide squad. I know Harley Quinn was the obvious choice; but something about the Enchantress just fascinates me! This is such an easy makeup look! I only used 2 eyeshadows and it turned out wonderful! (beware of a creepy scary intro!)

Third, Pink Fairy: I wanted to again do an easy fairy look that a beginner in makeup could do. This is more of a messy look that really gets pulled together nicely in the end. I love the bold blue eyebrows it really makeup its look more fairy like & beautiful.

Fourth, Head Wound: I wanted to dabble into Special Effects makeup without actually using SFX makeup. I basically show you in this video how to DIY blood & a head wound. This was a Fun look to do. Perfect for anyone who didn’t want to put on a costume but wanted to be apart of this holiday!

Last, Terminator: This year we were a family of Terminators so I had to do this tutorial for you guys! It turned out so good again doings some SFX without SFX makeup so that it could be easy for you! I love how realistic this looked & cool without having to do much. Plus I show you the Full Outfit, DIY EYE, & Gun! ENJOY

Honestly I had so much fun doing all these looks and even though halloween is past I hope you will take a look at these fun tutorials!

Voluminous Natural Curls with Diffuser + Review



 thumb-1
Hello my Bondbeautys,

Today I thought I would bring my niece to show you how to create some beautiful voluminous natural curls! I am doing this with a Curly Co Diffuser. I am actually super impressed with this diffusers. I have used several different ones in the past but this is the first time I use one that is:

A. Universal

B. Collapsable

C. Made of soft plastic rather than hard plastic

So I have a full video tutorial & review on this product (below); but I thought I would also chat and tell you about it here on my blog!

So lets get down to the basics , what is a diffuser exactly?

Its a attachment to your blow dryer that helps you dry your hair in a way that reduces frizz. It is made for curly hair and it  gives you volume and helps your define your curls. I absolutely love diffusers I have been using them ever since I was in high school! Lets see what that looked like for a second..phoenix-20120412-03042 phoenix-20111223-02485phoenix-20120305-02873-1 its-me-haha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now that we saw some curly pictures of me lets see how awesome my nieces hair turned out after she used the diffuser.

img_2424

So here are some tips on how to do this:

  1. Use hair product whether it is curl cream, mousse, or gel. If you touch your hair without product it will only add frizz!
  2. Never leave the blow dryer on one spot for too long , don’t forget its still a hot tool.
  3. Always push upwards to add the most volume when using the diffuser.

dani-hair-1

Here is the simple steps that we did to achieve this hairstyle:

  1. Apply mousse + Hair Oil to your hands mix together, then apply to your hair.
  2. Start diffusing on Level 3 on Warm setting (to help reduce hair damage )
  3. Put your hair gently into the diffuser then push the diffuser up towards your scalp
  4. hold for a couple of sec then repeat all over your hair
  5. Add more Product & continue to diffuse
  6. Then put the setting on cold and diffuse one last time
  7. Then apply hair spray or any other hair product you choose & your done!

My hair is really damaged from all the bleach I have been doing so my hair has lost lots of its curl but this is how it looks after I diffuse it!

img_2068

Pros & Cons to this Diffuser:

  1. Easy to store
  2. Well Made & because of the material is less likely to break when dropped
  3. reduces frizz & adds volume
  4. really dries your curls fast!!!! (It took my niece about 5 to 10 min to dry her whole entire hair!! WHAT!
  5. Its universal so it fits on all hair dryers
  6. The Diffuser head is big so it fits lots of hair!
  7. It turns with your head thanks to the collapsable capabilities
  8. Only cost $14.99 (I do get compensated if you use this link , if you choose not to just look it up on amazon Curly Co Diffuser )

If your more of a visual learner like I am here is the video tutorial

How to make short lashes look longer

Hello my Bondbeautys,
Im excited to talk to you today about some tips & tricks to making your lashes appear longer! This is honestly my mascara/ lash routine!
These steps are so simple and they just take a little longer than just applying regular mascara; but they truly make all the difference! I have a full video for those who are visual learners so check it out down below!

before & after

Step 1: Apply a lash serum before bed. The one I use is the Newyorkbiology Lash & Brow Serum. All you need to do is apply to lash line every night before bed. This helps your natural lashes actually grow and thicken! (it really works!)

Untitled

Step 2: Curling your lashes! There is a trick to this guys. First , use a good lash curler. Mine is from ELF it only cost me $2 but it still is amazing! It fits my eye shape well and doesn’t tug lashes! It also has a beautiful even curl. I like to curl my lashes 3 times before applying mascara. The first two times I curl it straight on and the third I will bend the curler upwards so it is at a 90 degree angle to my cheek! (See video for demo)

Step 3: MASCARA I love using a Fiber Mascara to really get my lashes looking thicker & longer! The mascara I love for this is the Limelight mascara. Unlike other fiber mascaras this one has enough product to really adhere the fibers onto your lashes. I don’t have any problems with the fibers being loose or flaking off into my eye! (And I have sensitive eyes) This one has really made a difference (full review on this mascara coming soon)

So I apply 3 thin coats of mascara. I know it seems like a lot but it really isn’t! You can do just 2 if you want. The last coat is the key to making your lashes look longer though! On the last coat you are just going to dab at the very tips of your lashes so that the fibers can really grab the tips making them look noticeably longer!

Step 4: Last curl your lashes one more time once your mascara is completely dry! This is where you need to be careful not to break your lashes or tug any out! Its so important to wait until your lashes are DRY! Then when curling make sure to only have curl them DO NOT clamp down all the way!

TIPS:  MAKE sure to slowly clamp down & release when using a lash curler so as not to pull any lashes out!

Here is the full video with demo footage so you can really see how I do it! I hope you enjoy!

New York Biology Lash & Brow Serum Review


cover

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Last week I talked about the New York Biology Eye Gel. Today I wanted to talk about The New York Biology Lash & Brow Serum. I have been trying this out for about a month now. I want to tell you guys about this product because I am very surprised and impressed! Last month I was really into waterproof mascara, which dried my lashes and broke most of them off. As you guys probably already know waterproof mascara isn’t the best thing to use when you want your natural lashes to be long & beautiful.

product

So lets talk about what the claims are:

  • Irritation- free & Allergy- free
  • Add Volume
  • Lengthen
  • Grow faster
  • Darken Lashes or brows
  • thickens brows

What does it really do? (after 30 days of use)

  • Helps your lashes grow faster
  • Lengthens
  • thicken brows
  • brows hairs grow

Pros?

  • Cruelty free
  • alcohol, paraben, & chemical free
  • Great for sensitive eyes or contact wearers because it doesn’t irritate at all

Cons?

  • It does not have a stopper so it if it tips when its open the product will spill out

Does it work? Yes , because of the nutrients and vitamins it contains it really helps your lashes & eyebrows grow faster than they would by themselves. Like any product it takes time so that is what I noticed after 30 days. This is a product for someone who is patient because it isn’t going to make your lashes really long and voluminous after one use.

Here are my results after 30 days.

before & after

I will continue to use this and update you in another month to see how much volume & length I have after two months.

Want to try this yourself? Get it HERE

*I am not paid or sponsored I was sent this product for free but I always give my honest review & truly enjoy this product.

Here is my full review video for you to see for your self the difference in my brows & lashes

I hope this was helpful for you! If you like my blog make sure to email subscribe so that you can get my blog posts sent straight to your email!!

New York Biology Anti Aging Eye Gel Review

IMG_8196

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Today Im doing a review on the New York Biology Eye Gel. Im going to be talking about pros, cons, price, where to buy & does it actually work. (I was sent this product for free to review but I always give my 100% honest opinion)

(Review Video Below)

So what does the company claim exactly?

This Eye Cream Deeply Nourishes and Hydrates Your Skin with its Powerhouse of Nutrients.Suitable for any age and skin tone, and for both men and women.

Some of the Benefits Include:

– Reduces the appearance of puffiness and fine lines around the eyes.

– Has the power to transform your look and boost your confidence.

– Helps rebuild cells, firms skin and repair wrinkles without dermabrasion or other expensive treatments.

– Hydrates and Firms your skin leaving a youthful looking appearance.

Does it work? Yes , does reduce wrinkles and fine lines that are caused by lack of hydration in that area. I use to have wrinkles and fine lines under my eyes as well as on my forehead. I noticed a big difference after using this for about 30 days.(see pics below)

Before:

After:

afterIMG_9031

 

 

Pros & Cons:

  • Pro#1 Hydrates Skin
  • Pro #2Reduces Puffiness (gives a cooling effect feels nice)
  • Pro#3 absorbs into skin rather than sitting ontop
  • Pro #4 Gel like formula is neither stick, greasy or oily
  • Pro#5 doesn’t effect the wear time of your makeup
  • Pro#6 can be used day or night, out in the sun or under makeup
  • Pro #7 Packaging  makes it possible to really measure and control how much product your pump out
  • Pro #8 you only need a pea size and it is enough for both eyes

How to apply?

* You can apply this morning or night or both!

  1. I wash my face
  2. I pump a pea size into my hand and dab it around the under eye area, my eye lid, & in the middle of my eyes. Basically all around the eyes. (this can also be applied on the face if you so choose)
  3. Then I continue and apply my day moisturizer & makeup

IMG_9087

I am so impressed with this New York Biology Eye Gel. I feel Like often times we apply so many serums & moisturizers to our face but skip our eyes. We do this for two main reasons: First, because we don’t want our eyelids to get oily(so that our eyeshadow lasts) & second we do not want our eyeshadow or concealer to crease. The great thing about this is that it will absorb into your skin and it won’t leave any tackiness. * If your skin feels tacky or sticky after using this then you applied way to much! Here is my full review video, which includes before & after .

I have been so into skin care lately, Im starting to realize the big benefits you get from taking care of your skin. I hope this was helpful and taught you a little bit about a difference that a skin care product can do for you! Let me know your thoughts have you tried this? if not what eye cream do you use?
