Elf Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths Review


When it comes to makeup remover wipes, I usually swear by the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes however while I was at Target to pick up some more, I decided to try the Elf Studio Makeup Remover Wipes for $3.00. Surprisingly these wipes are awesome!!

ELF claims….
Gently and easily cleans skin to remove all traces of makeup and dirt, even waterproof mascara. Great for on-the-go travel. Gentle cloths are soft and soothing for even the most sensitive skin. Infused with Aloe Vera Extract for deep hydration and moisture. 20 Pre-moistened cloths included.


Even though it comes in a small packaging, the wipe is full size and it only take 1 to remove my makeup
Why I like these wipes so much…..

  • The wipes remove my makeup with ease (especially my kohl eyeliner and mascara) as I don’t have to scrub to get my makeup off.

  • The wipes don’t dry out and stay very moist in the packaging.

  • They are very moisturizing and hydrating to my face, not leaving my face feeling dry.

  • The wipes haven’t caused any breakouts or irritations.

  • It takes 1 wipe to remove all of my makeup.

  • They’re inexpensive.. $3.00 for 20 wipes.. .15 per wipe.

  • Packaging is small and compact, perfect for travel.

Now I don’t know if I’m ready to kick my Neutrogena wipes completely to the curb but I have to say that the ELF wipes are definitely giving Neutrogena's a run for their money.

Christian Louboutin Unbout Illusion Pump

I don’t too often believe in love at first sight but I did when it came to these shoes. The Christian Louboutin Unbout Illlusion pump features clear PVC which creates the sheer illusion, a halter ankle-wrap strap and a 4 3/4 covered heel. This has become the “it” shoes as celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, La La Anthony, and Beyonce has been seen rocking this pump.



As usual gojane.com keeps me on trend when it comes to my shoes. Before I continue I want to throw a disclaimer out there. Buying an inspired look of a shoe is perfectly fine because that’s fashion, designers design what’s on trend. However the problem would occur if the shoe was painted with a red bottom..that would make them knock offs….Going on.



These shoes are $22.90 at gojane.com and I absolutely love them. They are gorgeous and very sexy. I will also be purchasing them in black as well. Even though it’s a trendy shoe I believe it can be worn for many seasons to come.

Trend Alert: Stiletto Nail



One of the newest nail trends is the stiletto nail. Stiletto nails are long, tapered, and sharpened into a triangular tip.

I haven't worn acrylic nails in years!! but I've been so excited to try this nail trend.

I decided to try the trend but i opted for less of a triangular tip and had it filed more round. I love my nails as they are very edgy and trendy.





More pics of stiletto nails.....

Definitely not a fan of this shape
After seeing Rhianna with these nails...I feel in love
I like these..they're cute

How To Get Kissable Lips

 No matter what the season is I suffer from dry lips. I use the products below to ensure that my lips are moisturized and are always ole so kissable!!

1. Exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub by using a toothbrush. Try Bethenny Frankel's lip scrub to get rid of dead skin and to smooth the lips.

2. Apply lip balm to prevent chapped and flaky lips. I love EOS lip balm as it keeps my lips very hydrated with organic ingredients such as shea butter and jojoba oil.


3. Apply a lip stick and/or lip gloss that is not drying to the lips. Revlon's Lip Butters is a great combination of a balm and gloss combined. The lip butters leave your lips feeling moisturized but also provides a sheer to medium coverage lip color....

Now a lip wouldn't be kissable if it wasn't red right? Revlon's Lip Butter in Cherry Tart is a beautiful and very wearable red.

Find your favorite lip color and PUCKER UP!!!!

Muah!!!
