Adela Told Me. . .

Welcome back! I thought this would be a really fun post. I was chatting with a girlfriend and she asked what my makeup looks like when I'm at work. This past week I took a picture of the products I used and of the finished look. This will not be a tutorial style post but a brief run down of the products I used.  Here we go! (I want to mention...if you notice my eyes are puffy or I look tired in these pics that's because I am! I put my makeup on within the first 20 minutes of me waking up. Which is anywhere from 3:45-5:00 am. Give a sister a break!) ~Monday~ One of the first things I ask myself when I'm getting ready is "Do you want eyeliner or not?"

I switch out my gel cleansers for creams. I really like this Garnier cream cleanser. It makes my skin feel clean without feeling stripped of it's moisture.  I'll treat my dry patches with Nivea Soft Cream. I buy this little guy for $1 something at Walgreens. It's enough to last me all winter. I have even put this all over my face and it never caused a breakout.  I moisturize the rest of my face and neck with a heavy mo...

Hello again, ***SPONSORED POST**** These samples were sent to me by BrandBacker for review. As I have mentioned before, I have signed up to work with different companies that will send me samples of their products to try and review. I was beyond thrilled to try these products because as you know, I am a bit obsessed with skincare products. Especially eye care products! I received the Youth Express Eye Serum. What's in it? Vitamin C Plant Stem Cells Astaxanthin Kojic Acid Passion Flower Caffeine Hyaluronic Acid Niacinamide What does it look like? The packaging is typical for a serum. It comes in a dark glass bottle with a dropper. The product itself is orange.  Does it have a scent? It does have a slight orange scent to it. Nothing over powering and you don't notice the smell once it's absorbed into the skin. How do you use it? Instructions say to apply day and night to a clean dry face. It can be worn under makeup...
