Pycnogenol Crème (Fragrance Free)
This cream is for normal to dry skin, I find it very moisturizing without making my skin oily.
It truly is fragrance free, it has no scent other than the scent of the ingredients!
It claims to "help reduce inflammation, support microcirculation, diminish fine lines, and improve elasticity, leaving you with smoother, healthier looking skin."
I can't say if it has diminished fine lines as I don't have any fine lines yet, but I can say this is a good moisturizer, it didn't cause me to break out, and it didn't irritate my skin.
Overall I would recommend if you have quite dry/sensitive skin. I do like this moisturizer, but I wouldn't repurchase with my own money because of the price, and the fact that it has no SPF. Yes, Derma E sent me these products to review, thank you Virginia!
First of all I love the scent of the Tropical Solutions range, it smells fruity!
Claims to "Rinse dirt, oil and impurities to optimize skin health with this rejuvenating formula. This refreshing gel utilizes tropical Tamanu Oil, Green Tea, Pomegranate, Papaya, Avocado, Aloe and Vitamins A, C and E to leave your complexion clean, healthy and refreshed."
I do find it cleans my skin well however with my dry/combo skin it does tend to dry out my skin a little. I would say this is best for normal to oily skin.
I recommend to those with Normal to Oily skin, if you're looking for an inexpensive cleanser as it's only $12.50! I would not repurchase with my own money because it's unfortunately not right for my skin type.
I really like this moisturizer because of the scent, it's very light, and also due to the fact that it has SPF! It hasn't caused me to break out or become oily.
Furthermore I love that it has a pump because it's more sanitary than a jar, and it wont dry out.
I usually need 3-4 pumps for my whole face.
I recommend. I'm unsure if I would repurchase with my own my money yet, I'll have to keep using it, and see if it becomes an HG (Holy Grail) product.
Out of everything this is definitely my favorite!
I had a tan on my hand/arms so to demonstrate the abilities of this I exfoliated one hand, and not the other, here are the results
As you can see it really did work, the hand that was exfoliated on the left is paler than the one on the right.
My only complaint is that it feels quite harsh on the skin, however once rinsed off my skin didn't look irritated & it didn't hurt, but if you have sensitive skin this may not work for you. This could also just be due to the fact that before trying this product I had used a different exfoliator the day before.
I can honestly say this made my skin look better. I've been struggling with my skin for the past month, but after using these products my skin has really improved, and I'm hoping as I use them more my skin will eventually be 100% clear.
I absolutely LOVE this product, and would consider repurchasing with my own money.
It is somewhat steep at $32.50, but Drugstore.com has it on sale for $26.00, and if you buy any 2 Derma E products you get an additional 30% off!
Derma E don't test on animals.

Products
Cargo Mini Eye Duo in Shanghai
Too Faced Lash Injection Pinpoint Mascara
Revlon ColorStay Lipstick in Baby Peach
I LOVE the Cargo shadows, specifically the brown shade, not so much a fan of the pink/peach side as the pigmentation isn't as good.
I like the Too Faced Mascara, but only if I curl my lashes before applying it otherwise it does nothing for my lashes.
The formula of this lipstick is nice, but I hate the color on me!

Before receiving this set to review (Thanks Linda!) I actually already owned the Rosebud Salve. As you can see I've used quite a bit.
This is extremely multipurpose you can use it as a lip balm, to sooth the sting of minor burns, helps heal cuts, to moisturize cuticles, elbows, knees, and it can also be used on diaper rash. I've actually used this on a rash I had on my arm, and it really did make a difference, and it also helped with the itching.
It has a light rose scent, which I adore, it actually smells like roses not generic or perfume-y. It has a light pink tint, but applies clear, and adds shine.
Left to right
Strawberry, Rose, and Mocha
Strawberry doesn't smell like literal strawberries, to me it smells more like strawberry candy, but I do like the scent. All of the scents/flavors correlate e.g . the strawberry tastes the same as the scent.
Mocha smells very coffee/vanilla-y I really like the scent!
I don't believe you can buy these in tube form individually yet except for the Rose Salve, but you can get the tin versions.
I love the vintage inspired tins, so cute!
Individually these retail between $6-8 depending on where you purchase them, they're very reasonably priced in my opinion.
Overall I recommend, my favorite is the Rose Salve because you can use it for everything! For those wondering they're 100% against animal testing.
Have you tried anything from Rosebud?
Review Urban Decay Primer Potion
Price? $19.00
What's included? Just the primer itself

(out of 5)
I have this in Original, but it is also available in Sin (champagne shimmer) Eden (nude matte) and Greed (shimmering yellow gold.)
I didn't do a swatch because it's a light skin tone color, but once blended in it's transparent.
The texture is smooth, creamy, and slightly greasy, but it doesn't dry greasy.
It does make blending more difficult, to help with blending just go over the top with a translucent powder or light shadow.
For the price I would say this is a bit of a splurge (being that it's just an eye primer) but it does a great job at keeping your eye makeup in place which is especially helpful for those of you with oily skin.
Advantages
Keeps shadow in place
Not tested on animals
Disadvantages
Makes blending more difficult
Price
If you're looking for something to keep your eye makeup in place, I would recommend it!

Wet n Wild Coloricon Brow & Eye Liner in Charcoal

LaSplash Glitter Eyeliner in Golden Sea (Sent for review purposes, I wasn't asked to use it in this tutorial, it just added a nice touch.)
MUA Eyeliner Glitter in Shade 2
Collection 2000 XXL Volume Sensation Mascara
This isn't going to be a traditional tutorial because it's not exactly wearable, it's more of an artsy tutorial. I wasn't going for a specific look, but the end result reminded me of a chameleon.
First outline the shape you want
I went over the curvy lines with glitter liners, and filled in most of the shape with the same liner used to draw the outline. I didn't go over the lid with liner.
After that I just mixed, and used every color of the rainbow.
Apply mascara, and while it's still wet apply shadow to create colored lashes!
I hope you gals don't mind me doing more "creative" makeup.
