While *trying* to complete the Finish 5 by Fall challenge, I realized how hard it was to finish a product. This month, I decided to focus on samples I have laying around, which I have a TON of! I managed to finish a couple samples, but will try to work through my stash - this will be my challenge for Winter. Instead of posting a verdict post - I can't imagine posting a verdict with...
MAKEUP - Tarte's Park Ave Princess Palette
September 28, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
A couple weeks ago, I managed to snag Tarte's ParkAve Princess Palette from Sephora for $31! (Among other things I will be reviewing soon, yay!). I'm finally hopping on the contouring bandwagon and thought this would be a great place and palette to start with. The palette comes with: Park Ave Princess - a matte, milk chocolate brown bronzer Posh - a matte, dusty rose blush Champagne Gold - a shimmery highlighter To be honest,...

EMPTIES - Verdict: Finish Five by Fall #CBBFinish5
September 23, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
Here's the verdict of my Finish Five by Fall challenge. Thank you again to Angela of Raincouver Beauty for tagging me in this challenge! Verdict: 1. Covergirl Clean Oil Control Pressed Powder - TOSS: This tag has made me realize how badly my skin would break out using this pressed powder. 2. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - TOSS: I didn't finish this mascara but I will be tossing it. Not because I don't like the product, I just usually toss my mascaras out every...

MAKEUP - Maybelline Dream Wonder Liquid Touch Foundation
September 17, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
Maybelline's Dream Wonder Liquid Touch Foundation (~$9.99) has been much raved about this past year so I decided to try it out myself. Unlike most of Maybelline's liquid foundations, this one has a drop stick to dispense the product. I actually really like this, compared to pouring out the product, because it allows more control. I understand that it doesn't seem hygenic to some, but you can still always pour out the product as well....

Essence has a line of products that are super affordable and this week I've decided to try some of their lip products. I decided to purchase: Sheer Shiny Lipstick - Miss Peach XXXL Shine Lipgloss - True Love Lipliner - In the Nude & Wish Me a Rose The essence lipliners are really creamy, making it easy to apply. They're creamy enough that they don't define cracks/dry lips too much - something I often have - and they...

FRAGRANCE - Demeter's Mr.Bubble #CBBScentMemory
September 04, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
I don't know about you, but I loved bubble baths as a kid - actually, I still love them. Growing up, my mom worked until midnight, so I only saw her in the morning before kindergarten. She told me once that one of the other parents would give her a funny look because every time she dropped me off at school, I would say "Bye Mom, see you tomorrow!". Once in a while, I would...
It's a short list, but it's a start! Here are my August empties :) TheFaceShop Real Nature Honey Face Mask - Great sheet mask with tons of serum, plus it's super affordable at around $3. Would I repurchase? Yes Neutrogena All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes - They're effective as far as cleansing wipes go, but I'm not a fan of cleansing wipes in general because you still have to cleanse your face after - so...
