New York Biology Lash & Brow Serum Review

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.

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.

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

*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

New York Biology Anti Aging Eye Gel Review

8 / 2 / 168 / 3 / 16

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?

New York Biology Eye Gel has the Power to Aggressively Fight Aging Like No Other in Its Class!

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.

Price? $25.50

Where to buy? Amazon Prime Here

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:

(these are all unedited photos)

After:

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!

I wash my face
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)
Then I continue and apply my day moisturizer & makeup

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?

June Favorite Makeup Products

7 / 7 / 167 / 6 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,

I am so excited to share with you some of my favorite hair, skin & makeup products for this past month. I love doing these kinds of posts because then you have a chance to see products that have truly not only worked for me but that I am personally in love with. (video below to see all products)

Pura d’ or Hairless prevention therapy shampoo & healing conditioner (find at target cvs Rite Aid) This shampoo & Conditioner are organic which means Chemical Free,Paragon free, sulfate free & Gluten free. They are very healthy for your hair. Your hair will not only look healthier & shinier but also feel like it.
Pura d’or Argan Oil I have dry to normal skin. Sometimes my foundation looks cakey on certain parts of my face. It looks like makeup sits on top of my skin rather than blending into my skin. This makes my makeup look un natural . To fix this I add this oil to my foundation (two drops) or just to my face before foundation. It really gives me a natural looking flawless face. The makeup sits so nicely onto of it and helps it really blend into my skin.
Dauphines of New York Headband : This headband is perfect for this summer time. Its so hot in Arizona and its nice to keep your hair out of your face. So this headband is useful and cute all at the same time! I used for the 4th of July and loved it!
(Find it at Anthropologie)
Yuer er Gong Zhu Eyelashes : Love these lashes they are glam but look natural all in one. I love these for dates or even everyday. ( I have a giveaway going on so make sure to check out that video too down below. Im giving away these lashes!)
Ittse Eyeshadow Golden Gate : I am so obsessed with this eyeshadow , this is the eyeshadow I used in multiple of my 100 days of makeup pictures. (over on my Instagram)

Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation 220 This foundation is such a great matte foundation. Even with my dry skin it still looks great! I also love to mix the Argan Oils in with this particular foundation. It turns this matte foundation into a natural finish foundation, that just looks fresh and perfect.
Wet N Wild Brushes: Great affordable brushes , super soft and do not shed.
Wet n Wild To reflect Shimmer Palette Boozy Brunch: My favorite Highlight of the moment. Such an unexpected find!
Wet n Wild Mega goo contouring Palette Dulce de Leche: I have been using and abusing this contour palette. I love the contouring shade in here it is a neutral which makes it more wearable and it looks beautiful.
Amazon Brush Egg : This is such an amazing find. It helps clean your brushes just as good as the brush cleaning mats except it is 1/10th of the price. Only 2 bucks , such a steal!
Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush Apri-cot in the Middle: This is a perfect natural blush that goes with any makeup look. So it is perfect for everyday or for special occasions. The reason I like this so much is because it doesn’t take away from your look. Its a no brainer blush.
Bella Pierre Cosmetic Mineral Blush Desert Rose This blush is a beautiful light pink. Another blush that goes with any look but especially blue looks! I love it with a blue smokey eye . (shown in the picture below)

Be a Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder: Since I have dry skin I have to be so careful when choosing a powder. I can easily turn into a cakey mess. So I have been loving this powder to set my under eye concealer! It smooths the area out with out drying it out.
Wet n Wild Highlighting Pen Posing Nude & A Happy Medium: These pens are so great for highlighting. They are also great for adding to other concealers. Specially hard to work with concealers tend to work better with this concealer.
LA girl Pro Concealer Natural: This concealer is such a great alternative to the MAC Pro long wear concealer. It is not as thick and full coverage but it is definitely so good! I use it for under the eye and it is perfect. I also highlight with it around the face.
Sally Hansen Gel Shine 3D Top Coat: Are you looking for a super shiny top coat that makes it look like you came from the salon? Well I finally found a incredible top coat at the drugstore! This one is so great , it makes my nail polish last longer & looks shinier than any other top coat! Love, Love , Love!

ELF Acne Fighting Gel: This gel really surprised me. It didn’t magically make my acne go away but it helps my blemishes get smaller and start to go away. Its amazing and I am so surprised. I will wash my face before bed and apply it after. Then in the morning my blemishes will be ten times smaller and look a lot better than the day before. This is my secret weapon to beautiful looking skin.
NYC Lip liner Bare: Perfect lip liner to pair up with your nude lips!
Wet n Wild Velvet Matte Lipcolor Looking for Truffle: Such a velvety soft matte lip color! So amazing and this shade is a cooler nude and I love it. So in style right now!
NYX Butter Gloss Eclair: These butter glosses are just that buttery! This color looks so great topped over light pink type of nude lipsticks. (shown below)

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Stockholm: This has been a long time favorite. To me this is the perfect matte nude lip color. Its so affordable as well. If you struggle to find the perfect nude shade try this one out!
LA Colors High Shine Butter Gloss Snuggle: This is a beautiful nude, almost gold shimmery gloss. The formula is very slick and soft without being sticky. The color is perfect to add to the lower lip of your nude lips! (great lipstick topper) I especially have been loving it over a matte cool or grey nude lip. I add it right to the center of my bottom lip and blend! (shown below)

(From left to right)

Elf Daily Brush Cleaner : Great for a daily cleaning so that you do not have to wash your brushes so often. Also if you use the same brush for multiple products then this is great for you !

Elf Complexion Brush: Love this for Bronzer, Blush & Powder. Its a great multitasker brush and very affordable.

Wet N Wild Contour Brush: This is a soft brush perfect for contouring and bronzing of any kind.

Wet N Wild Flat Top Brush: This gives a flawless finish to your foundation, Also great for powder as well.

Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Skin Serum: This is my top favorite! I have really seen a change in my skin since I have started using this! I love how my makeup applies over top of this too, so smooth.

Be a Bombshell Lip Balm Tint Ruby: This gives a popsicle like stain on your lips. Love it for the summer because it is hydrating & Light flush of color!

Wet N Wild Highlighting & Concealing Pen A Happy Medium: Such a light and easy to blend formula this color works really well for canceling out my under eye circles.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer Neutralizer:This is wonderful to highlight and to help cover under eye circles!

Elf Healthy Glow Bronzer Sunkissed: This is a beautiful bronzer to give you a sun kissed summer glow. I use this all over the cheeks , on the forehead & on the tip of my nose.

Elf All Over Color Stick Pink Lemonade: This is such a user friendly cream blush. I usually swatch it on my hand then run a brush over it. I find it blends so easy into the skin and you don’t need to set it with powder either! As you can see when blended out it looks like a beautiful flush of color!

Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Palette: This is a great neutral palette. I love that its so pigmented and that it has a good variety of matte & shimmer eyeshadows. You can create lots of beautiful looks with this and I’m obsessed!

LA Colors Grafix Eyeliner Black: &Coastal Scents Brush BR-C-N15 : A trick I have been doing this month is using this eyeliner with this brush. This brush makes it easy to create a thin liner & wing look. I also find that this brush would work great for beginners because it gives you more control!

Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara: This is a perfect blend between a wet and dry formula. Right in the middle which gives you volume & Length! Great drugstore mascara!

I am wearing all of my favorites in my look today. I decided to do a simple neutral wearable eye and a soft popsicle red lip with a bronzey cheek. I love using the bronzer as a blush topper. It adds a subtle highlight & a healthy glow to the skin. This look is perfect for this summer time!

I love this neutral palette so much because of how versatile it is. This is one of the simplest looks you can do. Its perfect for an everyday look because it just flatters the eye without looking like its too much.

A more in-depth tutorial video will be up on Wed so stay tuned!

Truffle Therapy Anti Aging Skin Serum Review

5 / 26 / 165 / 31 / 16

Hello My Bondbeautys,

Today I’m talking about skin care. I am one of those gals that believe less is more, well typically. I usually am very basic when it comes to skin care. Even so , I do believe that to have beautiful makeup look you do have to take care of your skin. The healthier your skin looks the better your makeup looks! So today I’m reviewing the Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Skin Serum.

Packaging:

Glass Bottle
Thick Plastic Top
Pump

Fragrance? Yes Smells like shea butter (pleasant not to strong, fades after applying)

Comes from organic agriculture

Zero% Sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, phthalates

Claims:

Restores skin with undetected radiance
Fine lines start fading
roughness surrendered
silky smoothness
skin looks firmer and brighter
creates healthful ,youthful complexion

I have used this for almost two weeks and I’m going to share with you all the information you will need!

My skin typically has large pores in the cheek area and is very dry. I also have blochy complexion as well. After almost two weeks of using this serum this is how my skin looks( no filters or editing).

What I have Noticed:

Healthy looking skin
Radiance/glowy
pores minimized
makeup goes on over top smoother
skin smooth
skin looks less rough/textured
no reaction with my sensitive skin
skin feels firmer
skin is not as blochy

Application:

wash/cleanse face
apply serum
apply moisturizer
apply makeup as usual

My thoughts:

I have noticed that my skin looks all and all healthier. Usually even with makeup my skin looks cakey and rough in person. I did not change my foundation or any other makeup products when trying this. My skin looked a lot smoother and more natural when using this. It was the first thing I noticed. It also didn’t detract from the longevity of my makeup. I feel like my face makeup even lasted longer when I used this. Like it just the makeup sat on my skin a lot better. Honestly this is a skin care product that is here to stay for me! I am very pleased with it. I am a firm believer that the healthier your bare skin looks the better your makeup over top will look! I also love how it hydrated my skin. I tend to have very dry skin and I felt like this worked wonders for the dryness. Usually by the end of the day my nose and cheeks are dry. The serum really made a difference with that.

These are my honest thoughts. Here are some unfiltered un edited pictures of my face with makeup after using this.

First picture is without flash.

Second is with flash.

Have you tried this serum? What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Maybelline Face & Body Highlighter Review

5 / 4 / 155 / 24 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Happy Monday! It rained here in Arizona last night and this morning the weather is beautiful & fresh. So here we go I have a review on a diamond in the rough type of product! I found these at the Dollar Tree and for the price of $1 they are amazing.

So there are four shades in the whole collection. These are meant to be highlighters but I found that some of these have enough color to work as a blush as well! I find that these last me 8 hrs if I don’t touch my face. I think they look so beautiful in pictures and videos especially! But, these do have glitter flecks in them. So when they fade they leave behind glitter which is not appealing , but as long as you dont touch your face they should be fine. They blend out super easy, I like to use my finger or the E.LF Small stipple brush. I these do have a lot of color pay off but they blend out smooth, and give a good flush of color to the skin.

So Lets talk about the shades and how they look!

Pink glow is a gorgeous pink with gold shimmer in it! It works well as a blush & highlighter in one! (this is what I have on in todays video) For the purpose of the video I didn’t wear it alone I also wore summer glow in the highlight area. This one is probably my favorite one of the whole collection, because I feel like its perfect for the summer time!

Summer glow is a beautiful highlight champagne shade. This one does have silver glitter in it but they are very fine! I find that when it wears off (which doesn’t happen for about 8 hrs unless you touch your face a lot) it does leave behind glitter on your face which is no fun. I think this would be perfect for fair skin!

Copper Glow Is a beautiful bronzey shade that I think is perfect for the summer sunkissed type of look. It is very brassy but when blended out it is amazing! This one also has heavy glitter in it but when blended out it look great on the skin!

Mauvey Glow is a beautiful blush shade as well that will also give you the glow without needing to apply two products! This one is not my favorite because I feel like the glitter flecks are a lot more noticeable but it is still beautiful.

For only $1 Its worth a try for sure , I love them and I find that they work as a great blush base as well!

So lets talk about my look for the day!

Till next time..

Remember beauty comes from within so let yours shine!

LA Colors Lipstick & Lipgloss Duo Review

1 / 24 / 141 / 24 / 14

Hello Ladies!

Happy Friday! Today Im doing a review on these amazing lipsticks. These are the LA Colors Lipstick & Lipgloss Duos. You can find these at the Dollar tree, yes you heard right , the dollar tree. So take a look at the swatches live, & all the pros and cons of the products.

I have six of the colors so lets go through the swatches.

Pros & Cons:

This Lipstick is very pigmented , it has a good punch of pigment to it! So be aware, if you are a sheer girl you won’t like this. As far as the finish it is a semi matte finish, but yet its still very comfortable instead of drying. If you like the shimmer & shine it has a gloss to go along with it. The gloss is very thin and changes the finish. I know some glosses affect the lasting power of a lipstick this one doesn’t because it is so thin. It does have an odor to it , it smells like Laffy Taffy Candy. I love it but if you don’t, don’t worry when applied the smell goes away!

Now I know I haven’t done makeup tutorials in a while , don’t worry they are coming! I have A sneak peak of a future valentines day tutorial!

So stay Tuned for this makeup tutorial coming soon! So what lipstick shade would you most likely wear? Let me Know , I personally love Flushed because the red is so easy to wear. And it looks good on any undertone!

Till Next Time,

Remember, Beauty Comes From Within so let it SHINE!

<3 Love, Bondbeautyful
