Heal My Sole: Yuzu Lotion from my Meg's Makeup Package

My recent Meg's Makeup 250 point makeup package contained several gems, and one of them is the Heal My Sole lotion. At first glance, I thought this lotion was for my feet.. Sole = back of feet, no? But I quickly learned this Yuzu Lotion scent, citrus-filled aroma, was meant for my body-arms, legs, feet, anywhere! It's perfect as we transition into Fall and possibly winter! My skin is starting to get dry and this travel-friendly bottle is just what I need for a quick pick-me-up during the day while I moisturize my skin. It's a fabulous find and I'm so glad to have found this from one of my FAVORITE makeup websites, MegsMakeup.com !!

If you've been following me for a while, you already know that I adore the community on Meg's Makeup (megsmakeup.com) and especially the great makeup gift packages that she sends to readers who redeem points.

Love & Toast Hand Creme (gift from Meg's Makeup!)

($9 USD, www.loveandtoast.com)

In my Meg's Makeup gift package in February, I received a lovely Love & Toast hand creme in Paper Flower scent. Until I received this, I had not heard of Love & Toast and I'm so glad that I have. They are a brand whose philosophy is: It is just as important to do good, as it is to look good.

Their paraben-free formula hand creme is super hydrating with shea butters, avocado & sunflower oils with natural fragrances from botanical extracts. The Paper Moon scent is particularly made with Juniper and Lime Blossom essential oils and smells so fragrant. The only con about this is the packaging. The screw top is so small and the first time I unscrewed and tried to put it back, it just wouldn't work! It took a while but finally worked.. Tip: Make sure the cap isn't lopsided!

Thank You Meg for picking this hand creme for me! :)

Tarte Cosmetics from Meg's Makeup

Last week I received the most wonderful surprise from Meg of MegsMakeup.com! I usually get treats from her when I redeem my makeup points, so this was truly unexpected! She was so sweet to send me a "rewards" package- which included a few goodies from Tarte Cosmetics and a Lash Em! Since Tarte came out with new products earlier this year with Amazonian Clay for long lasting power, I have been eyeing a few of them to add to my collection. The reviews on Meg's Makeup also made me want them even more!

My thoughts on the products?

	Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful - If you're looking to look "Blissful" this warm peach color will give you a gorgeous glow. It's got Amazonian Clay, Vitamins A, C & E so it's great for your skin.
	Tarte Illuminating Serum - This serum will help brighten your skin. It's formulated to control oilies & hydrate your skin naturally with Amazonian Clay's many benefits. When doing a swatch, I got a weird allergic reaction. But I'm testing it again (for the love of BEAUTY) to see if it was just a fluke.. stay tuned!

Mally Beauty Evercolor Shadow Stick Review (from Meg's Makeup)

Happy March! My latest makeup obsession are sticks- eyeshadow sticks, chubby lip sticks, etc.- so I was excited to get from my Meg's Makeup gift package last month the Mally Beauty Evercolor Shadow Stick in Gunmetal. (read more TotalBeauty.com reviews here!)

I have heard wonderful things about Mally Beauty products so I was psyched to try this. Eyeshadow sticks are the best way to get quick easy color on your lids- can double as an eyeliner- and create a gorgeous smoky eye look. The staying power of Mally's shadow stick ($25, USD) is incredible. Smudgeable right after you put it on but once it sets, it stays! Putting on eyeshadows in the morning takes me just a few minutes. :)

Gunmetal is a great dark silver color to wear during the day and evenings. The intensity is built when you apply a second layer but one is recommended for a daytime look. Easy to wear, and simple. The formula is great I'm hooked on Mally's products now. 'Smoke on!

I kinda want to try the Mally City Chick Smokey Eye Kit too.

JUARA Skincare: Facial Moisturizer Sample from MegsMakeup.com

In one my goodie packages from Meg's Makeup last year, I received a sample of the JUARA Skincare Sweet Black Tea & Rice Facial Moisturizer. I intended to use it for travel but since I didn't go anywhere this winter, (hello snow!) I couldn't wait any longer.

My thoughts? I was impressed with how good this moisturizer felt on my skin.. It has a very pleasant scent, made of fermented sweet black tea and rice bran oil and a lightweight formula that made my skin instantly smooth. My cheeks are particularly dry during the winter and so I slathered this on right before I went to bed. It's the combination of the scent and the way my skin feels so nourished that I am itching to get the full-size bottle of this moisturizer!

On their website, Juaraskincare.com, I was only tempted to get MORE stuff, including their top seller- Rice Facial Cleanser and their oil-free moisturizer
Sweet Black Tea & Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer for the summer!

Meg's Makeup - 50 Points Gift Redemption

Happy New Year! 2011 is here and I'm excited to share some of my recent holiday gifts/events/news... Stay tuned for more posts this week as I recap all the Holiday Goodness of 2010!




The summer of 2009, I joined this fab site called Meg's Makeup. It was a growing beauty community of makeup fiends who loved to read other's product reviews, comment and share. It's become immensely popular since and the perk of being an active member was earning points to redeem for free goodies! I have redeemed several already and about 6 months ago, Meg's Makeup had to start charging shipping b/c it got quite expensive. I have saved enough pennies (500 to be exact) to redeem my first package since then and redeemed for the 50 Points package! Hoping to redeem for a 250 one soon though! :)

As always it is a treat to get Meg's Makeup packages! I got the Maybelline Falsies Volume Mascara and the LORAC 3DMultiplex Lipgloss!! Wheee what a steal for only 500 pennies! I'm starting the new year with new makeup and can't wait to try these soon!

Meg's Makeup Dedication

What is Meg's Makeup?
It's more than just a makeup community; it's a haven where I am inspired by reviews and other members to try new and different products for my hair, skin and face. So many beauty tricks and info I find useful, I have learned from Meg's Makeup.


Just a few things I have learned in the past couple of months..
* The Benefits of Witch Hazel is amazing- it's great for my oily skin as an astringent.
* New Trends such as Dark Green Nail Polish- Inspired by this post, I got myself a Wet 'n Wild Dark Green nail polish later in the fall.
* To resist temptation for the Stila Smudgepot Set- I was strapped for cash.. but I really wanted this! Next year, I promise!
* What Hyaluron can do for your skin -Received the M. Asam's Aqua Intense Hyaluron Cream in my first goodie package and realized it really moisturized my skin. Works wonders! :)
* You CAN smell like a cupcake after a shower- Also received this in my goodie package, and fell in loooove.
* Glue=Pore Extraction (Laughs!)- Does this equation work in your beauty routine?
* New Companies/Websites such as 100% Pure, and BeautyTicket.com- Always like to check out new products on these sites to see what's new.
and last but not least,
*Palettes such as the LORAC Croc Palette, will always be my beauty must-have.- I am obsessed with palettes and this one has created so many beautiful neutral eye shades for me. LORAC palette=Love.

Thank you Meg for being so wonderful and dedicated to this site and for inspiring all Megheads to be their true beautiful self! All Megheads share a love for beauty and makeup and I'm so grateful to be a part of this wonderful family. :) xo, BeautyAllThat

Meg's Makeup Gift from Makeup Points

So this summer, I joined this fantastic site called Meg's Makeup. By being an active member, you can gain points by rating, commenting and updating your profile. With these points, you can redeem wonderful makeup goodies that Meg generously gives to its loyal members. After redeeming 250 points, here are the goodies I received this week.

Thank you Meg for being so wonderful! :)


Here is a personalized note from Meg, herself, and other name tags/business cards.



From left to right:
1) Parissa mini wax strips for eye brows- I usually groom with a tweezer; so I stopped tweezing to maximize the usage of these wax strips. Did a test run and they are surprisingly very easy to use! Def. recommend if you're looking for something different. Brows were clean for about a week longer than normal plucking! :)
2) Supersmile toothpaste- This is a great product.. I'm still using this but I believe my teeth are becoming more pearly white :)
3) Klean bath syrup in Lemon Love- This is simply divine! It smells wonderful and the sweetest bath cleanser I have ever used. It's like opening a burst of vanilla cupcake in the shower. It also leaves your skin moisturized and a small dallop will just lather enough for a clean shower.
4) (top) Yoyo lip gloss- A lip gloss with a easy clip on already attached to it? It leaves your pout shiny and you'll never lose it, esp. if you clip it on your jeans! Adorable! Also great gifts for tweens!
5) (bottom) M. Asam AQUA INTENSE HyaluronCream- This has hydrated my skin so much! Definitely use this as night since it's a bit heavy for my oily/combo skin but in the winter, it's great!
