Masks are a weekly ritual for me. I like to slather on my masks and pretend I’m at a spa for those short 20 minutes…but do masks really do anything? I find that I mainly like masks just to relax and feel good. This mask is an anti-stress mask and it is from ULTA…for two bucks! It’s blue and smells like men’s cologne. I think this is the perfect V-Day mask for us single ladies…LOL! It feels nice on the skin and it dries down to a chalky blue, since it’s a mud mask…which are best for oily skin types. Definitely check out Montagne Jeunesse next time you head to ULTA!

Youngblood Debalicious Lipstick Swatches and Review
Youngblood launched this pretty pink lipstick with their spring collection, called Debalicious. This bubblegum pink is a vegan mineral lipstick which is awesome!
Debalicious is a very flattering pink, which I like. I find that some pink lipsticks can look too pastel and make skin look very weird.
Debalicious can be worn sheer or built up, depending on how bold you like your lip colors. I really like this shade!
The only con to this product is that I find that it can get a little streaky on the lips, so make sure to rub those lips together nicely to blend it all in! Youngblood’s lipsticks retail for $19 online!

Jouer Spring Crème Eyeshadow Crayons in Avant Garde, Baroque, and Renaissance (Review)
Jouer launched 5 creamy eyeshadow crayons that are rich in vitamin E and contain Alaria Esculenta Extract to smooth and fill fine lines. These twist-up crayons come with a built in sharpener to perfect the domed tip on-the-go. These crayons are waterproof, smear resistant, and paraben free. There are 5 shades total: Abstract, a shimmering black, Avant Garde, a shimmering navy, Baroque, a shimmering chocolate, Renaissance, a shimmering bronzed plum, and Rococo, a shimmering crème. I have 3 shades to share with you- Avant Gardem Baroque, and Renaissance.
All of these shades have some shimmer to them. Renaissance is a gilded plum, Avant Garde is a shimmery dark blue, and Baroque is a metallic brown. These are all just one swipe- they are quite pigmented when applied! These crayons are super creamy as well.
Renaissance is a surprisingly wearable plum shade. I didn’t think I’d love this one just because it has a lot of red to it, but in fact, it’s very brown when applied…it took me a while to decipher my pictures of these on the eyes because it looked so similar to Baroque, the brown shade!
I put a light layer over my eyelid as a base to my eyeshadow. I blended it out a lot to prevent creasing. On the lid you can see some shimmer as well.
I used Renaissance as a liner as well, which I wouldn’t really recommend because the shape of the tip is weird and it doesn’t last as long. On the lid, however, this product is great! No creasing whatsoever…and that’s coming from someone with oily lids.
Baroque is a gorgeous metallic brown shade that is perfect for anyone that wears eyeshadow, because everyone wears neutrals!
On the lid, Baroque shows a lot of gold shimmer and stays quite pigmented throughout blending!
This shade is by far my favorite, even as eyeliner. It isn’t amazing as eyeliner, but if you want a cohesive look it does the job. I really love how this one made my shadows look. And of course, I had no creasing after a full day.
Avant Garde is a deep blue with tons of shimmer. This is the least wearable shade in the line, but you can make it work and have it still look neutral! This one is ultra pigmented on the eyes!
When applied to the lid and blended well, you can still see tons of blue shimmer!
I did a basic neutral look with this as a base, and it turned my shimmer champagne into a blue-toned silver eyeshadow- it still looks quite neutral though! It lasted all day without creasing as well.
Overall I really love these crayons. I have oily eyelids so very few bases work on my eyes, and these made the cut! I just have to do a very thin layer. I’d recommend all of them, but if you’re a neutral girl pick up Baroque and Rococo to use in all of your looks!
Jouer’s Crème Eyeshadow Crayons can be found for $24 online.

Pamper Me Fabulous LA 2013 at Vibiana
This past weekend I attended Pamper Me Fabulous at Vibiana in Downtown LA. I also attended last year and wrote about it on Nadine Jolie’s blog. If you’re unfamiliar with PMF, it is essentially a perfect ladies’ event full of shopping, seminars, and fun workouts. There are a plethora of brands selling beauty, fashion, food products, and more. Sponsors included Dermalogica, Vision Essentials, Body Boudoir, and Crazy Girl. If you’re interested in attending, there are events in Dallas, Chicago, Miami, New York, and they will be back in LA in November! Don’t forget to bring your girlfriends!
Stila After Glow Lip Color in Electric Pink (Review & Swatches)
Stila‘s new After Glow Lip Colors are twist up crayons featuring neon pigments that will glow under a black-light. I’ve been loving this pencil lately because it has a medium coverage (that is very buildable) and stains the lips to make it long lasting. It comes in 6 shades total- I have Electric Pink to share with you today!
The twist up crayon makes this product super easy to use on the go.
It’s not fully opaque but it’s easy to build it up!
It looks gorgeous on the lips- it’s super bold! I’m loving this right now- it’s going to be an essential for spring and summer. It is such a light feeling lip color, which is another reason why I love it. I haven’t tested the black-light abilities, but I’m sure it works. If you are a party-girl, you may be able to wear this out to a club or any place that has black lights to see this baby glow! They are cherry flavored, but it’s very subtle. It smells delish! I’d definitely check these out- I now want to try the other shades!
These crayons can be found online or at Sephora for $18!
