EOS Shaving Cream (Day 9 of 25 days of blogging)

Hi everyone!  I had hoped I'd have my Beauty Haul up by today but things got a little crazy. So here's a beauty product for you all!

EOS  Ultra Moisturizing Shaving Cream.
I really love this stuff. It's probably my favorite shaving cream I've ever used. You can use this product wet or dry. Which means you don't have to even shower to shave. Winning!
No nicks or cuts, and as someone with very dry skin, this actually moisturizes my skin leaving no irritation bumps or anything.
My ONLY issue, is that once I used almost all of the product up (and I couldn't pump anymore out of the bottle), I unscrewed the top, and found there was still a decent amount left, stuck to the sides. So I had to manually scrape out the remnants with the pump and wipe it off on my leg. But other than that, no complaints!! They have 3 different scents of which I have had the Raspberry and Vanilla
A lot of people complain this is "too expensive" . I purchased my bottle for $3-$4 at WalMart and honestly thought it was worth the price.
I give this product a 4.5/5
The only reason it isn't a 5 is because of it being difficult to get the remainder of product out. But it gives me such a close shave while moisturizing and giving me the option to do it wet or dry!!
I hope you guys are enjoying my 25 days of blogging!  I've been trying to give revieews on various products!  If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know!! Also-Follow me on Instagram:: @wisconsinhair_and_makeup!
Love you all!

NYX Above and Beyond Concealer (Day 8 of 25 days of Blogging)

Happy Sunday! Here is day 8 for you guys!  And its actually a product I am not a fan of::NYX Above and Beyond Concealer.
I picked this up at Ulta for $5- looking for a nice creamy under eye highlighter.
I was not impressed. 

It doesn't: cover or blend well. It dries out my skin. And it settles in creases.
I was really excited to try it and immediately disappointed. The product is sooo creamy and smooth to the touch, which you would think would be great But that's about where it starts and ends.
If you were to apply JUST this concealer and no foundation/powder, then this product would be great. But no one does that, or else you look like you have random blotches all over your face. The issue is that this concealer will instantly wear off as soon as you put on anything over it. I always find myself having to put it on over my foundation, and even then it doesn't stay all that well.
It does come in various shades including purple and greens for corrective color. But definitely not for me.
The only reason I keep this product around is to clean up bumpy lines on my eyeliner or brow lines. Works great for that!

Too Faced Queen Size Mascara.

Hello everyone!  Today I have a mascara to review for you! I know I just did one, but can't ever go wrong with mascara! 
This mascara is Too Faced Queen Size. This was my first name brand mascara I have ever purchased! The reason I bought it was because I think Chelsea Huska from Teen Mom is like the prettiest girl ever. Her makeup is flawless and her eyes are gorgeous and mine,  well they're not.  So when I found out this is the mascara she uses I NEEDED it. Well then after purchasing it.  I lost it... 6 months later... (maybe longer) I found it. Still im perfect condition and never used!!

I think it's a great formula. The only problem I have with this mascara is the brush is huge. I have fine, short eyelashes so I have a hard time with that huge brush. However,  if I use Queen Sized as a top coat, it works great!! It really does add volume and length. I feel like if you have medium coarse eyelashes, you'd love this mascara.

You can find this mascara online,  Sephora or ulta for $21-$23.
I rate this mascara 3.5/ 5. Only because the brush is huge for me.but all and all- probably worth it for most people.

Maybelline Color Whisper Review (day 6 of 25 days of blogging)

Hey everyone!  Here is a review on Maybelline Color whisper lipstick in Lust for Blush! If this name sounds familiar it's because they also carry this color in their Matte Collection!

I love this lipstick. It's so creamy and pigmented!  It's very true to color.



You can find this at most drugstores and Ulta for between $6-$7.

And if you love this color Maybelline also carries 20 other shades in the color whisper collection!

I actually came across this color when I was shopping for my boyfriend's sister's wedding. Saw it on pinterest! And it just so happen that its a dupe for Mac Frost Angel lipstick!  Can't go wrong paying$7 instead of 20!

I rate this product 4/5 because the only downfall I have is having to apply it after eating. Other than that I love it. It is moisturizing and pigmented.  The perfect pink shade I must say!

I look forward to trying out more from this line!  Hope you all enjoyed day 6 of 25 days of Blogging!

Naked 3 Pallet Review (25 days of blogging Day:2)

Hey everyone!  I had a video ready to go for day two of 25 days of Blogging,  but I don't think it's going to finish uploading by the end of tonight.
So here is a review on the Naked 3 Pallet! I believe this is the pallet every girl should own for the holidays.  It is the perfect blend of Pinks and Golds!


Here is the swatches of the pallet! This is how pigmented the colors are when you use a eye primer with it. So pigmented. So beautiful. And so easy to blend.
I use this pallet daily.
My favorite color combo is:
Strange on browline
Nooner on/in crease
Limit above crease to blend
Dark side on outer Vs

Love love love it.

Where to get this product? 
Ulta, Sephora, Urban Decay website

What is the price for this product? 
Standard $54 for the pallet unless you have cupons and such.

I believe this pallet is worth the price.  I was not a fan of this pallet at first but I could not go on without it!!
I can't wait to do some tutorials for you guys!!

Day 1: Biore Deep Charcoal Cleanse Face Wash (25 days of Blogging!)

Happy First Day of December everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate plenty of food-I know I did! Anyone who knows me, knows that ABCFamily's 25 Days of Christmas is like my favorite thing on Earth! So as I've been looking forward to that, I thought to myself, "Why not do 25 days of Blogging"..umm genius. 

So here I am! Starting my 25 day's of blogging. Check in with me everyday for a new blog!!
Since it's day 1 of my 25 days of blogging-It's time for a review! And I'm excited to share my thoughts on this product with you all!




Biore Deep Pore CharcoalCleanser


Okay, so I purchased this stuff after purchasing the Charcoal Self-Heating Mask. (I'll do another review on that later). I was kind of iffy about this product because I tried another one of their Face Scrubs and I was not happy at all. But I gave in, purchased it, used it and WOW! After two uses I could tell a significant difference in my face. I've only owned this wash for a little over a week but I stopped using my Clearasil face wash and all the other ones I have and now use this twice daily. I could not be any happier with the results.
When applying this product, it foams nicely at my fingertips and then I use my Olay ProX Brush for a good cleaning. It has a cool tingly/burning feeling.But NOT a bad burning feeling.It just leaves your face feeling cool and refreshed! Most reviews on other websites have nothing but good things to say too!
Another reason I like this product is because after reading I came across"Use this product to enhance results of Biore Deep Cleanse Strips" and if you follow me, You know I'm a HUGE fan of their strips. So After using it last night, I immediately stuck on a nose strips and the results fantastic! (gross, but fantastic) I could tell the results this time we're much better than others!


How do I rate this product?
I would have to give this product a 5 star rating. I'm very happy with the results from this product and I would not think twice about repurchasing.

Where to purchase this product?
Most drugstores have Biore Products readily available

How much is this product?
I bought this at our Hometown ShopKo for $7...but if you have a WalMart or Target nearby, you can purchase for around $6 or less!



So there it is! My first day of 25 days of Blogging! I hope you all enjoyed this post, and I really do recommend this product to anyone is suffering from: clogged pores, black heads, white heads. You won't be disappointed!
