DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DISPARITIES IN BREAST CANCER SCREENING? *

According to the American Cancer Society, there will be more than 231,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed amongst women in the Unites States during 2015. 

The best way to beat this disease is with early detection,
and mammography screenings are a critical tool in detecting breast cancer at an early stage.

It’s no surprise that some women are less likely than others to get mammography screening.

There are specific reasons for disparities in breast cancer screenings in the U.S., which may explain some of the disparities in mammography screening rates among certain populations of women, such as women from different racial and ethnic groups.

BEST LIP PLUMPERS

Alright, I'll confess:

 I've always wanted to have a sexy pout.

( I'm not self conscious or insecure about my lips, I just wish they were a bit fuller).

  Fact:  I do have very thin lips and as the years go by - let's face it - they're not getting any fuller.

Quite the opposite.

But, I have some good news for those of you out there looking for the best lip plumpers!

   I've made it my mission to try several different lip plumpers throughout the years.  Today I'm sharing with you my top 3 and absolute favorite ones. Literally, the most effective plumpers I've ran into after a very long search and feeling stuck in a purchase-disappointment cycle.  

So if you're curious to learn which lip plumpers are the best ones - in my opinion - how I use them, and pros and cons for each one... then this is the video for you :)

Hello my InsideOut Beauties!

Another day, another video.

Today I'm sharing with you my FIRST IMPRESSIONS ON MAKEUP FOREVER ULTRA HD INVISIBLE COVER FOUNDATION.

This medium coverage foundation promises an "invisible formula on 4K camera and to the naked eye" and to leave your skin looking "flawless and moisturized".

With so many promises, I just couldn't resist 

the urge to test it out and see for myself if these are true or not.

KRISTALS COSMETICS EXTRA FIRMING NECK & CHEST PEARL CREAM REVIEW*

Happy Friday !

Welcome back to another first impressions.  

In today's episode I'm trying out, for the very first time, the Kristals Cosmetics Extra Firming Neck & Chest Pearl Cream.

You may remember I reviewed Kristal's Diamond Magnetic Mask. Gemstones, such as Pearl and Diamond, are believed to have beautifying and healing properties.   Kristals Cosmetics is known for their gemstone infused skincare.  This not only makes it stand out from the rest, but its expensive ingredients make it an extremely luxurious skincare brand... pretty unattainable for many of us.

5 BEAUTY PRODUCTS I REGRET BUYING

Buyers remorse?  You bet!

More often than not us - beauty bloggers - focus on reviewing products that we love.   Guilty as charged, there were times when I was so excited about new beauty products I was trying out, that most of my blog posts and videos seemed to be shoutouts about all these to amazing products. 

I was so grateful and in love of these.  So, you know, love is a powerful force that inspires us to share :)

However, with time, I found negative reviews extremely helpful when I'm about to spend my hard earned money on a new product.  So today, I'm sharing with your my current top 5 product regrets, in the hopes that you don't make the same mistakes that I did.  

ADORE COSMETICS 24K TECHNO-DERMIS FACIAL MASK REVIEW*

The beauty community seems to be raving about one thing and one thing only lately:  gold infused skincare.

 More precisely, the Adore Cosmetics 24K Techno-Dermis Facial Mask.

What happens when you use gold infused skincare?

Well, today we're about to learn more about all of this, as I try this gold mask on myself and in camera for the very first time.

As part of what looks like a very positive new era, I'd like to announce that I'm also going to be posting / uploading new videos MON-FRI 9AM PT.... starting today!  It is - for sure - a big challenge for me, but I think I finally got myself organized to be able to push myself and get it done.    Every morning I feel the luckiest woman to wake up to do what I love most: content creation.  And I've reached a point where I am ready and confident that I can take it to the next level.

So, without further ado, scroll down and join me in today's video: get ready with me!

MAKEUP | IT COSMETICS LIVE BEAUTY FULLY BRUSHES FIRST IMPRESSIONS

You only get one chance to make a good first impression... or so they say.  And although sometimes first impressions can be deceiving, when it comes to makeup, it's the difference between top drawer products and don't-care-if-its-even-reachable ones.  You guys know exactly what I mean.
