Review: Garnier BB eye roll-on

Makeup has made revolutionary advancements these past years. Incorporating skincare and aesthetic factors is just one of the many examples. I, personally love BB creams. It is so beneficial and has become very accessible to everyone. It's benefits ranges from reducing red spots, protecting skin with SPF, and covering dark spots. So of course I had to buy Garnier's BB eye roll-on. I believe that it's the first of it's kind. I was so excited to try this product because I do not get enough sleep and my eyebags are HORRIBLE! I practically jumped for joy when I saw this product on the shelves.

It blends nicely, but it becomes cakey after a few hours. It has a matte finish which I absolutely love! You can use your fingers or a sponge, but I like keeping my hands cleans so I use a sponge. A bad side to this product through is it's lack of a variety of shades. There are only 2 shades available which is natural and light, I'm just lucky that one the shades happens to fit my skin tone. Other than the previously-mentioned, I would definitely buy this product again for everyday use. Is it the best product for concealing dark cirlces? No, but it is worth it's price.










Nailspiration

Hey guys! So as I was browsing through tumblr earlier, I came across a picture of a girl wearing an ombré sweater which really caught my eye. It gave me the inspiration to do some pastel ombré nails thus the birth of this post lol. I love pastel colors because they give such a feminine and refreshing touch to an outfit also, it reminds me of macarons! Haha I'll be posting pictures of the procedures and the picture from tumblr.

Step 1: prep nails, make sure they are clean and cut to your preferred length.

Step 2: apply a base coat.

Step 3: apply your selected base shade. I used Sally Hansen's 08 Sorbet. Apply 2 coats.

Step 4: take a sponge and spread the other shade onto the sponge. I used Essie's To buy or not to buy.

Step 5: dab the second shade onto the tips of your nails and slowly work your way to the middle dabbing lightly as you go.

Step 6: Allow to dry for about a minute then sweep some top coat.I used Revlon's Quick Dry Top coat.
