Guerlain Terrcotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder Review

**Sipping a fine Riesling, the DemonDiva turns to face the audience, She's on a stage in the theater, and the spotlight fades in. There is a look of nostalgia in her eyes...she speaks...**

Lovelies,  this review takes me back! One of the earliest memories is of my dad taking me to Macy's to get my mother a special Christmas, mother's Day, or Anniversary gift. He had only one thing in mind and it was:

Now, I don't know if anyone else can relate with this but if you grew up with your a mother like mine, Seasoned DemonDiva Barbie, then you know she had a signature everything. Makeup, clothes, scent. My mother's scent of choice:

Yup, Mommy was a Diva indeed. I wasn't until years later that I realized how expensive this line was. Well, that is until I went to Sephora one day and walked past the Guerlain display and saw this little beauty staring at me...

I had never really tried out any of Guerlain's products before and when I swatched it on my hand, I fell in love and I fell hard! I had to have it for my very own!...then I saw the price of it was $50, Ugh, yeah I bought it anyway because I'm and addict and I "needed" it for this review! Now ladies and gents, I have milk-chocolate colored skin and it gave me the most wonderful, bronzy glow. It has just the tiniest bit of shimmer in it but nothing overpowering, a must because my skin is ridiculously oily. But all in all, I give this product a B- because I love the look I get but not the price. Here are some pics:

Enjoy & Au revoir!

Dust Bowl!

Hello my little Divatuers!

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while but I have been battling the dreaded yellow dust that comes with the warmth of spring...a.k.a. Pollen

I should be back with a news review and perhaps some make-up tutorials (if you're lucky!) But until then, I am the original Provaca-diva-teur signing off.

Au Revoir!

♥♥The Midas Touch♥♥ "I'm a Weeennnerrr"

Hello Diva-saurs!!

More exciting news!!! Well...for me that is ;) I entered a contest for one of my fave bloggers and I won a Tarte Mascara!!! Hot DAMN, I'm on a roll!!

The beauty Diva-saur that I'm referring to is none other than Kelly Gould from Gouldylox Reviews! I adore her writing style and love her reviews in general. I am sooo sooo sooo grateful to her for AND Tarte cosmetics for choosing me. Ugh, I'm gushing like a Miss America! Let me show you the prize!
Ta-daaa!!!
I really like this mascara because it makes even the skinniest lashes look super thick and fluttery, plus its made with natural ingredients and promotes healthy lash growth but on the downside it dries out faster than I'd like and while I adore the volume, it does nothing in the way of length its best paired with its primer counterpart :) If I have to give this a grade, it'd get a B+. Please make sure to check out Kelly here: http://gouldyloxreviews.blogspot.com/

I can't wait to get this bad boy in the mail! Keep you posted and until then Goodnight DemonDivas!

Honorable Mention!

Hello DemonDiva-lings,

This post will be a quick one but I'm still hype about it! I'm a big reader and I subscribe to some of the most amazing writers in the blog-a-verse but one in particular has a very special place in my heart as my first subscription and that's none other than the "Unicorn Queen" herself, the lovely and talented creator of Lime Crime make-up (drumroll please!!) ................
Doe Deere!




Not only is she a 'DemonDiva', but she mentions my twitter response in her recent post, "What's In A Name", where she answers a letter from one of her readers whom is having issues with people pronouncing her name correctly. [The Original DemonDiva crosses her legs and flips her hair thinking about how close that hits to home]

If you guys love creative minided people, DemonDiva-lings who love color and aren't afraid to 'do them, then head over to http://www.doedeereblogazine.com/articles/whats-in-a-name-2 to read the article and then check out the insane makeup she created at http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/ . You will not be disappointed!!

Au Revoir DemonDiva-lings!

To "CHI" or not to "CHI"...




****WARNING!! THE FOLLOWING REVIEW CONTAINS LARGE DOSES OF THE TRUTH. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED***


Divas...I was saddened today. I had a long, hard day at work and just wanted to come home and relax. One of the ways I unwind is by doing a little something that makes me feel good, like doing my hair and make-up (just cause), watching a funny movie or painting my nails (my personal fave). I chose to do the latter today.

I just recently picked up some new beauties to add to my ever expanding collection and one of them happened to be a CHI ceramic nail lacquer in "Picnic in Central Park". I saw it and fell in love with the minty green color and decided that it would be my signature spring color. Only other DemonDivas would match my swag once I decided to stunt on this color.

I let it chill for a few days before putting on and...and...when I did...

Cons: Formula is watery and not easy to work with, Dries ridiculously slow (Read: 40 mins. and my nails still weren't completely dry). You have to apply at least 3 thin coats to get it to the opacity that matched the bottle color. (DO NOT *REPEAT* DO NOT APPLY THICK COATS OF THIS SHIT CRAP!). This dries to a shiny finish but the website [http://chinails.farouk.com] says this is matte...WTF?!

Pros: Beautiful range of colors with this brand...umm yeah, thats about it.

I'm still testing this to see how long its going to take to chip but hopes are low for this mission Divas...

In the meantime, here are some pics. DemonDiva signing off.
