review on the Clinque Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Pressed Powder

a few sephora packages ago, i received a small sample of this powder. i was super excited because anything that takes care of redness perks my interest quite a bit. my cheeks are red, i'm not sure if it is rosacea or what, but it's what i'm dealing with. needless to say, i found that this power really works! it seems to work best with foundation, then this powder. i have worn it without foundation a few times and it was still good coverage, but with foundation is better. the only problem is too much of this powder can make you look ghostly. not pale, i mean white. so, don't pack it on so much and you'll be fine! here are some photos of the product itself:

it seems like there's a lot of product in here, so hopefully i'll get my 32.50 worth!

there's a compartment underneath with a little brush. i haven't used it yet (i use a fluffy brush) but for someone who doesn't have a brush, it's a nice little addition. 

i have some before and after photos, that shows quite a difference in the redness in my cheeks. these were taken without foundation.

before...

after!

so far, i'm pleased with this product. i'm glad i got the sample, because i'd probably never have found out about it. my only problem is the price, but it seems to work for me so i guess the 32 bucks doesn't matter too much! if i bought it, and it didn't work...then i would be pissed. haahaha. but, pick it up if you suffer from redness! i don't think you'll be disappointed :] thanks for reading!

Lancome Hypnôse Doll Lashes Set

this is the Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes set (also includes an artliner) i bought it for 29.50 on sephora.com. the reason i wanted to try this so badly was for the mascara mostly, and the artliner. i don't usually wear liquid liner too much though. anyway, the mascara and cils booster XL are my two favorites! the cils booster was a pleasant surprise. i will never wear mascara without that underneath again! totally buying the full size of that shit.

no mascara, or concealer....don't judge.

so, this is my naked eye.

and this is my eye with the cils booster+doll eyes mascara.

no concealer still, but this blog is about the mascara!

the formula of this mascara is wet-ish...but not too wet. if you like wet types of mascara without it being too wet to smudge all over the place, you'll love this one. i have only worn this with the lash booster under it, so i'd recommend the combo if you want to achieve length like above.

unfortunately, this set is not in stock on sephora.com.

this really is helpful to buy to try out the cils booster, but maybe the sephora stores would have a sample size to try? this combo is so worth it though, so happy i bought it!
