Review: Yes to Grapefruit Brightening Facial Towelettes

Hi everyone, I have another beauty product review today! The Yes To brand has been around a while but I am just exploring it now. I have tried products from  all the lines but the carrot and blueberry. These are grapefruit and it is said to brighten your complexion. I can't say these brighten my face but they do a good job at removing my makeup. They make my face slightly tingly (warning- do not use on eye area) and they have a light grapefruit scent. They aren't my favorite but they aren't bad either.

Here is what the package looks like. The wipes are standard size.

Here is a list of ingredients. As I've said before I like what is NOT in these wipes. They are paraben, petroleum, SLS, and phthalate free.

Review: Mineral Fusion Pressed Powder Foundation

Today I have a review for y'all! Zoe and I drove to San Antonio today so I'm a bit tired and not up for an ootd post. In case anyone is wondering- I wore a Paul McCartney tee, leather vest, jeggings, and my sneaker wedges. 

In my quest for all things healthy I found this powder foundation by Mineral Fusion at Whole Foods. I have been using it for quite some time and I have to say I'm in love with it. For those of you familiar with M.A.C it is very similar to Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.

Here is what the box looks like. I chose the shade "warm 1". 

The back of the box with some of the benefits. My only complaint is lack of SPF but supposedly the minerals are a natural UV protector. 

Here is the compact. It is standard compact size.

Inside of the compact. I like the mirror but it doesn't come with a sponge or brush. I have been using a powder foundation brush to buff it into my skin. 

Lastly, here is a swatch. I only did one swipe so it is hard to see but I had to show off my love bracelet. :)

The texture of this powder is so smooth and silky. As I mentioned above, one layer is quite sheer but it is build able for a more heavy coverage. I haven't tried this yet but I bet it would get great coverage with a damp sponge. This would be a great alternative to liquid foundation for the summer but I have found it works for me year round!

Review: Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette

This is my final review of Pacifica beauty products at Target. I'm not a spokesperson for Pacifica- I just love their products!

So this is the Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening Shadow Palette.

Here is the back of the box with a list of ingredients.

Here is what the outside of the palette looks like.

And here is the inside! The colors do not have names so I will give a description. From left to right: 1) a taupe light shimmer- great for a highlight, brow bone, or inner eye. 2) a peachy shimmer with a bit of pink- great for the lid. 3) a golden shimmer- also great for the lid, a more dramatic highlight, or a lower lash liner. 4) a smokey light matte plum- great for the crease, upper eyelid, or the lower eyelid for a more dramatic look.

Lastly, here are the four swatches. The lighting doesn't do them justice! Although this palette gives a more natural look you can definitely build the color for a bolder look. The consistency on all 4 shades is great. The plum is probably the least easy to blend. I do not wear eyeshadow primer and these had great staying power with no creasing. The only thing I would have liked to see is a few different looks included with the palette. But, I love this palette overall! It is perfect for travel and I know it is safe to wear on my eyes.

Review: Zoya PixieDust

I have been a big fan of Zoya for years but haven't had much time to do my nails. I had heard of the PixieDust collection but was skeptical about having texture on my nails. While my mom was in town we took a trip to Ulta and she bought me Nyx and Godiva. I have tried them both so I wanted to share a review!

Zoya PixieDust in Nyx and Godiva

Zoya PixieDust in Nyx and Godiva

I'm wearing Zoya Jules as a basecoat and two coats of Godiva

Zoya Dove and two coats of Nyx

The formula on both polishes was great! Not too runny but not too thick. I thought with three coats of polish it would take forever to dry but it was surprisingly fast. I got almost a week wear out of Godiva with minor chips. The color is so faint the chips were hard to make out. I have been wearing Nyx for a few days now and I can already see a few minor chips. I expected it to be less forgiving. As for the texture I have to say I love that too! When I first put it on it felt weird but I don't even notice it now. Unless I purposely run my fingers over my nails, in that case it feels like very fine sandpaper. :)

You can check out the rest of the PixieDust Special Texture Edition here, your local Whole Foods or Ulta.

Review: Pacifica Radiant Shimmer Coconut Multiples

Here is yet another new Pacifica product I picked up at Target. Side note, I was there again today and resisted the urge to buy a sample set.

Here is the back of the box with a list of ingredients.

And here is what the palette looks like.

This is what the inside of the palette says. It's so cute I had to share!
