Absolutely in love with this palette. This was no surprise to me :D since I had
already tried this brand before (REVIEW HERE)
This Tropical palette is definitely just as amazing as the other one. First at
all, this brand is so affordable yet great quality!
The colors are very opaque
and pigmented. They are so easy to apply and blend. Also, the colors are true
to what you see in the palette. As far as the Glue - Eye Shadow & Glitter
Base, it’s sooo amazing! This is one of the best primers I have tried! The
shadows blend so much easier and they become more pigmented with this base. It
definitely makes the eyeshadows last longer.
Product Review: NEUTROGENA Pore Refining Line #NoMasPoros No More Pores!
*Para ver esta publicación en Español, usa el botón del traductor de Google* DISCLAIMER: I received these products for review purposes. This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA® and Latina Bloggers Connect. However, my opinion is based on my own personal experience with the product/service and it will never be influenced by a company. Hi Guys! Here is the product review I promised about the new line by NEUTROGENA called Pore Refining Line.
Product Description:
"Skin is a woman’s canvas and having a healthy, radiant complexion with minimized pores is key for a flawless look! It’s important to take good care of our skin and NEUTROGENA® knows that smaller pores means smoother, younger-looking skin. Wrinkles and dark spots aren’t the only telltale signs of aging. Over time, pores stretch to become more noticeable, making skin look duller. While every person has a predetermined number of pores, the size can be minimized. With the help of the NEUTROGENA® PORE REFINING® line, you can shrink the look of pores for smoother, younger-looking skin.
By exfoliating skin with ultra fine microbeads, Salicylic Acid, and Alpha-hyrdoxys, the Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser smoothes away rough patches, shrinking the look of pores. Along with the Pore Refining Toner and the new Pore RefiningDaily Cleanser, the line offers a cleansing solution for different skin needs. All four products are formulated with Alpha-hydroxys to thoroughly exfoliate skin and Beta-hydroxys to penetrate deep into pores to sweep away dead surface, dirt, and oil, so pores can look up to half their size in just two weeks."
My Opinion:
First let me start by saying: Amazing Products! I am sooo happy with the results I obtained using these products during the last 7 days.
I received 4 products from the NEUTROGENA Pore Refining Line.
NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining® Exfoliating Cleanser
NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining® Daily Cleanser
NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining® Toner
NEW! NEUTROGENA® Pore Refining® Moisturizer (in-stores in August)
My skin type is combination. I get oily on my forehead and
dry on the sides of my nose. Also, my skin gets sensitive and it is acne prone
depending on the time of the month. With that being said, it is quite difficult
for me to find the right products for my skin. As time has passed by, I have
noticed larger pores, especially when I use full coverage foundations and
heavier products on my face. If a product does not work for me, I can tell from
the first application since my skin starts reacting. In this case, my skin did
not have any problems since the first day of use. The first thing I noticed
after 3 days of use was a brighter complexion. I felt that my skin was very
refreshed and super clean. Also, it felt very smooth and soft. After the 5th
day of use that’s when I started noticing smaller pores. I followed the regimen
as suggested in the instructions. I used the Daily Cleanser in the mornings
followed by the toner and the moisturizer, and I used the Exfoliating Cleanser
at nights followed by the toner and the moisturizer as well.
I usually don’t use toners because they over dry my skin,
but this one did not do that to me. It really helps get rid of dirt and makeup
build-up. As far as the moisturizer, it does not feel heavy, it is not greasy
at all, and it absorbs pretty quickly. Finally
the Exfoliating Cleanser and The Daily Cleanser are really amazing for deep
cleaning and getting rid of impurities. I specially loved the Exfoliating
Cleanser because it is not harsh, and the micro bids are very tiny and gentle.
PROS: Works well with any skin type (Even sensitive,
combination skin), Visibly reduces pores within a short period of time,
Brightens, Smoothes out complexion, Gentle for daily use, Deeply cleanses skin,
Refines tone and texture, Alpha and Beta Hydroxy formula is dermatologist
tested to deliver visible results
CONS: NONE! :D
Overall Opinion:
I was definitely able to see great and noticeable results in
only 7 days of using this line. I totally recommend these products! My face
feels smoother, brighter, and the pore size did reduce visibly.

Hi Guys!
Today I want to share with you a little bit of advice/encouraging words for those who are considering a career in the Beauty industry, or perhaps you are already working as one.
Most parents usually encourage us to study something “Honorable” like Medicine, Law, Engineering, etc. This is definitely not a bad thing, those are wonderful careers. However, no job or career is less honorable as those I mentioned. In my case, I had a passion for beauty, fashion, and computers since I was a little girl. My parents never told me what I needed to study; they did want me to choose what I wanted. Yet, I was encouraged to study something that would be profitable and long lasting. After graduating High School, I had a few choices in mind but I decided to go with the fastest and most profitable at that time. I started College right away seeking a career in Nursing. After a few months in, I realized Nursing was not for me. Beauty and Fashion were in my mind, but I didn't think I could make a career out of them. After a few months, I decided to go with my other passion, Computers. It was definitely the hardest one, but it was something I did enjoy. Meanwhile, my passion for Beauty and Fashion grew more and more. I wanted to learn more about makeup, so I started watching YouTube Videos.
Since the first YouTube Video I watched, my passion just exploded! I was learning more and more every day. After a few years of learning about professional makeup and Fashion, I started my own Blog and YouTube channel. This is how Pink Orchid Makeup was born. It is really an amazing feeling to be able to share with others this great passion and talent. Lots of women are in great need of someone who can encourage them and lift their self-esteem. That is exactly what I do at Pink Orchid Makeup. I talk about all things Beauty, Makeup, Fashion, but most importantly Internal Beauty. Beauty starts from the inside and it is reflected on the outside 1 Peter 3:3-4.
I now have a career in Computers which I love, but I was also able to fulfill my passion for Makeup and Fashion through my blog and YouTube. Beauty, Makeup, and Fashion are real careers. Don't ever let anyone say that they are not. If you feel you have the same passion and talent go for it!
Some time ago I heard a phrase which has stuck with me since: Make your paycheck your passion!

Kimble Beauty Shower Cap - Incredibly cute shower cap from Kim
Kimble is made from durable, waterproof fabric to protect styling.
About the Brand:
A Los Angeles native, Kimberly Kimble is one of the most
sought after hair stylists in the entertainment industry. With dozens of
televised shows, movies, and magazines under her belt, Kimberly Kimble
beautifies some of the hottest celebrities today. Her work can be seen in
television, concerts, magazines, music videos, film and beauty expos. Through
herdedication, talent, and skill, she has worked with such high profile
celebrities as Beyonce Knowles, Mary J Blige, Garcelle Beauvais, Shakira,
Gabrielle Union, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Serena and Venus Williams. Hair styling
was not unfamiliar to Kimberly Kimble, as she comes from a long line of
hairstylists. Kimberly’s mother (Jasmine Kimble) and grandmothers (Lynette
Murray and Astra Payne) all were hair care professionals. She was drawn to the
art and skill involved in hairstyling and soon realized her need to create with
her hands. Her natural affinity as an artist gave Kimberly a unique edge that
sets her apart from other stylists. Kimberly was trained at the Universal
College of Beauty of Los Angeles in Leimert Park, Culver City College of
Beauty, Vidal Sassoon Academy, and Dudley Cosmetology University in North
Carolina.
Through her experience working on film and television,
Kimberly realized a need for styling products that would allow her to style
hair that had endured the long hours of filming and keeps it looking fresh and
healthy. Kimberly’s latest development is a hair product line called “KIMBLE
BEAUTY™,” a full line of shampoos, conditioners, scalp treatments, styling
products, pomades & hair/body soaps for both men and women.
Because of Kimberly’s expertise in extensions, she has
included products for extension care in her line as well. She has put together
a complete line of hair specialty goods from hairpieces, clip-in weaves, wigs,
falls, ponytails and extension hair. Her line of hair care will procure and
process the highest quality hair from the international market. Kimberly also
provides a line of maintenance products to care for the hair. With her
successful West Hollywood Salon and a new product line, Kimberly Kimble
continues to beautify the world one head at a time."
My Opinion:
Amazing Amazing Amazing Products! I totally loved both
products. The Brazilian Nut & Acai Berry Conditioning Masque feels like one
of those conditioners you get when you dye your hair at home. It leaves my hair
so soft, silky, and shiny. This masque is definitely amazing. I have tried other
products with Acai Berry, but I never tried Brazilian Nut before. The
combination of the two work amazingly for my hair. After using the mask for a
couple of weeks, I noticed a great improvement on my ends. This mask helped me
repair the damage I had, as well as helped mend split ends.
The Kimble Beauty Shower Cap is literally the BEST SHOWER
CAP I EVER tried! Yes! It is that good. I never knew what a good or bad shower
cap was until I tried this one. This Shower cap is definitely waterproof.
Not even 1 single hair gets wet with this shower cap. The
material feels very durable and solid. The elastic band is hard enough to keep
the shower cap in place, but it does not hurt your head. I also loved the
design! I definitely recommend this one.
