Hello Everyone! Today, I am super excited to bring back another review/giveaway from Mia Mariu! I fell in love with their foundation, primer, and concealer the first time I tried them. This time I am bringing to you a collection of items to - Reveal Your Glamorous Look!

The Products/The Review



"Our Mineral Bronzers protect and highlight your complexion with a beautiful, sensual tone. Made with pure minerals and silky shimmery pigments, use it to sun-kiss your face or any other part of your body. Contains Vitamin A, C and E." 

You will see in the final look, but this was my favorite product out the bunch. Being such a pale complexion, I was terrified of this product at first. I usually just use solid bronzer's that turn into powder. However, using just a little bit and a kabuki brush makes it go on perfectly. I love the sun-kissed glow it gives me. 
Price: $17


"Our Volumizing Mascara extends and separates the thinnest, shortest, hard-to-reach lashes by lengthening each lash while delivering just the right amount of mascara without clumping.  Our formula contains rich dark pigments to enhance lash color for maximum drama.  It is clump-free, fiber-free and is suitable for contact lens wearers.  Enriched with vitamin B5."

More than anything, I liked the way this mascara felt in my hand. I was able to get a good grip on it, so that I could get to each lash. Some mascara's are so top heavy, and this isn't anything like that. I also appreciated the fact that it wasn't too thick, so I had NO clumping. It's defiantly a mascara, I will get good use out of.
Price: $13


"Our Intense Black Eye Liner Pencil is a smoothly textured eye pencil that provides precise definition and easy, smooth application.  The pencil applies evenly without "dragging" or pulling the delicate eye area which produces a clean precise line without smudging."

I don't know if it was the way it was sharpened or just the fact that it's a really great formula, but I was impressed with this eyeliner. If you don't know by now, eyeliner is my favorite makeup product, as well as the product I am most critical of. This will be one of those eyeliner's however, I can see myself using down to the nub...ha-ha. 
Price: $11



"Our Mineral Shadow Liners are made with pure minerals and luxurious color pigments.  Their creamy powder texture provides an immediate release of intense luminous color with superior blending for a long-wearing, crease-resistant application. When mixed with water, you can use it as a beautiful long wearing eyeliner."


I got the choice to choose 1 of the eye shadow duo's or 2 of the shadow liners. Since I prefer brighter colors, I went with the shadow liners. What I love about these is that you can use them as regular eye shadows or as an eyeliner. This was the perfect shade of what I call Sea Green, however you may think different when you sea it. It was also my favorite of the two.
Price: $14


"Our Mineral Shadow Liners are made with pure minerals and luxurious color pigments, thin silky formula provides long lasting coverage while gliding on softly and easily. Build color intensity and blend effortlessly. Apply as an eye shadow with our Multipurpose Brush No. 15, use the Petite Brush No. 18 to highlight your accents. Use wet to create your own custom liner, using our Precision Eyeliner Brush No. 25."



This shadow looks green, but it's actually a VERY dark blue. A little too dark for my liking, but I think as an eyeliner it would be okay. It also has a LOT of sparkle, when the light hits it right. 
Price: $14



"Our Hydrating Stick Gloss is a revolutionary hydrating product combining color and hydrating gloss in a stick form.  It has a buttery, creamy feel that nourishes your lips while delivering color in a sheer and sophisticated finish."

I love this gloss! It's just like described, it is a very creamy and has a buttery feel yet very sheer. I can see this being a lipstick that you can wear everywhere, rather it be the office or for a date. There's so many pretty colors to choose from, and I can't wait to try them all. 
Price: $15

I was really amazed at the quality of all of these products. I am glad I had the opportunity to try them, and I can't wait to try more. What do you think of all these "Glamorous" products? Which one is your favorite? Feel free to share below!

Mia Mariu - Refreshing Foaming Gel Cleanser + GIVEAWAY






Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a great day. I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce to you the Mia Mariu Refreshing Foaming Gel Cleanser. With the heat of the weather constantly on the rise, this is the perfect product to help you refresh at the end of the day. Now, if you're wondering to yourself, haven't you done a review on Mia Mariu before? Why yes, that is correct! I was so impressed with their foundation (you can see that review here) that I had to try out some of their other products. This product review will also include a giveaway (the lucky winner was Kami Allen) just like the last one! Let's get started, shall we?

The Product/My Thoughts


Refreshing Foaming Gel Cleanser - "With 8 natural botanicals and anti-inflammatory properties! Aloe, marigold, sea kelp, sea lettuce, orange peel, lemon, lime and grapefruit extracts are at the heart of this soft pampering cleanser. This formula contains high levels of Aloe, anti-inflammatory ingredients like Sea Lettuce and nourishing essential oils making it an extra gentle cleanser. Refreshing Foaming Cleanser is especially effective for sensitive skin including rosacea, maturing and even dry skin types. Suitable for all skin types. Non-irritating, paraben-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free. Use AM and PM (4.0 fl.oz.)" 

The benefits that come from this cleanser alone is what first caught my eye. My skin is very sensitive to the sun, so I really appreciated the added benefit that took the redness away when I washed my face with it. I also found the smell very intoxicating; to me it smelled of oranges. It was also a clear gel which with time nicely foamed up when applying it to your face. If you're looking for this to be in place of a makeup remover, I would recommend you combine something with it. While it did take off my foundation, my eyeliner did have a little trouble coming off. This product however is not a makeup remover, its a cleanser so do keep that in mind. Other than that though, I really have nothing negatively to say about the product. It was another successful attempt for Mia Mariu, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. If you wish to purchase this product, it is $21, and you can purchase it here.

                 Overall Product Score: 4.7*
