Mario Basescu Meets Lola's Skin

I recently tried a new facial cleanser by Mario Badescu. Because of my ever-changing skin, I opted for the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser (found at Ulta - $16) and this is what I found.

I've been using the cleanser with my Clarisonic Mia 2, which has been absolutely fantastic. However, I have noticed that I do get dry patches at times. This could very well be due to my over-use (it's recommended 1-2x per week), but hey, it leaves my skin feeling fabulous! I particularly enjoy this product after a day of heavy make-up usage. Not only does it get the leftover particles my makeup remover wipes left, but it feels like I didn't have anything on my skin all day! Very fresh, fun, and clean.

Overall, I have to give this product 4 of 5 stars.

Perfect In Pink!

      Everyone loves a great pink lipstick, right? Over the last few months, I have grown out of the lip gloss stage and into the lipstick phase. I've never really been a huge fan of the product until now, especially going into a field where presentation means everything. I've collected shades of pink, a color I know I can pull off, as my go to spectrum, with the exception of one or two. With varieties in the nude family, I have decided that I needed a pink that I could wear every day and for special events. My discovery? A fine satin finish.

       Ever since Niki Minaj partnered with MAC Cosmetics, I have been trying to find a shade that suited me best. Since "Pink Friday" was only for a limited time and "Viva Glam Niki" isn't exactly a shade I could pull off every day, the search for the perfect pink has been ongoing until now. Pink Nouveau, a satin lipstick, is the closest color to "Pink Friday", goes on smooth as butter, and has a long lasting effect, something long overdue in my collection. And for $15, I think this is one of the best products I've purchased in a long time. I highly recommend this lipstick, especially if you're looking for that perfect pink!

My First VoxBox

After debating for a few months on whether or not I should join Ipsy, I finally caved! I received my first glam bag two weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I also joined Influenster for their VoxBox (which I am in love with!) and cannot wait to try out all of the products. For more information about what was in my Glam Bag and in my VoxBox, take a look at my YouTube channel (LaPrincesaLola). Below are photos of some of the products that I received, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask!!

Milky Way (The Good, Bad, and Wet n Wavy)

Hi everyone!

I recently decided to go on an adventure via my local beauty supply store for the upcoming school year. I normally just do clip-in and ponytail extensions, however, this year I took things to new heights. For the next few weeks, I will be wearing Milky Way Remy Indian Hair (Wet and Wavy). Throughout this experiment, I will post weekly videos via YouTube to review the product and how to care for it based on my experience.

Below is my Week #1's review.
