Guerlain Liu for Holiday 2012 Collection Review, Photos, Swatches + Tutorial Video Details


Let's begin with some beautiful photos of Guerlain's Liu Holiday 2012 Collection.. the showstopping black lacquer and luxurious gold detailing, what is not to love? The Orient inspired theme here was thoughtfully executed. No overkill, no frills. All you are left with is beautiful, price tag worthy Holiday options. And yes, this is my favorite Guerlain collection in recent memory. Both eyeshadow palettes are top notch in terms of pigmentation, texture, and lasting power. The red lipsticks included in the Liu Calligraphy palette are remarkably moisturizing, considering the slightly waxier consistency (in comparison to the Rouge G formula). Please refer to the video below for all other details!

Curing My Dry Winter Skin/Updated Skin Care + GIVEAWAY Video Details



Hello, everyone! I hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays, so much Christmas cheer! Today I am going to share with you my new skin care regimen, ideal for those with dry skin. And remember, many of those with "oily" skin have what is actually dehydrated skin.. stop using all those harsh oil-stripping products and give your skin the hydration and care it deserves! I would recommend starting with a great night time moisturizer like the Purely Bright and use a hydrating mist like the Rosewater in the mornings if you have oily skin. If you have dry skin, you can go ahead and use the Rose Moisture Cleanser, Mist, and Cream every morning to combat dryness. This stuff really works! And no, I am not paid to say that ;) Great product at a reasonable price.. what's not to love? Best of luck to all with the giveaway!

COOKING TUTORIAL: Eat Clean/Burn Fat Food Regimen + Meal Prep Video Details


So here is my new eat clean [bodybuilder pre-competition style] food regimen! Again, you DO NOT want to eat like this all year round. This is just to kick start the road to my 6-pack :) It is very hard not to cheat on this kind of regimen, but you can allow yourself a couple indulgences on the weekend so long as you do extra cardio to make up for them! After the first week of adjusting to the lower carb level, my body has never felt more energetic.. and I go to the gym at LEAST four times a week. I lift heavy AND do cardio (both in the PM, as I dislike morning work outs). It might be overkill for some, but it's the best way to see results fast. Like I said, I was down to 100 pounds after two weeks..even if that was just my AM weight hehe. So now I am back on the diet to shed my Thanksgiving cheat week weight, and I will not be cheating until the end of December! Hope this video inspired you to start eating cleaner, and gave you some ideas as to where you can start :)




Meal Breakdown **This is personalized for me, 5'0 tall & 105-107 lbs at start of diet**:
Breakfast) Protein Shake with Water - one scoop of ON Platinum Chocolate with 1/2 cup Quick Oats
Meal A) 3 oz Chicken Breast with 3 oz Sweet Potatoes
Shake 2) Protein Shake with Water - one scoop of ON Platinum Chocolate
Meal B) 3 oz Chicken Breast with 3 oz Greens - asparagus, green beans, snow peas, etc.
Shake 3) Protein Shake with Water - one scoop of ON Platinum Chocolate
Dinner) 3 oz Tilapia Filets with 3 oz Greens - asparagus, green beans, snow peas, etc.

YSL Holiday '12 Northern Lights Makeup Collection + Video Details


I love the vivid colors in the YSL Holiday make-up collection and hope you will, too! Some people complain about the lack of pigmentation in designer beauty products, but you will not be able to leverage that complaint against these beautifully executed palettes from YSL this season. When wet, the shadows last ALL day while maintaining their vibrancy! Hope you enjoy the review and this fun twist on the standard smoky eye for the holidays :)

What Mr. Simmonds, the Creative Makeup Director of YSL Beaute had to say about the collection:  "During my childhood I was fascinated by the northern lights – also known as Aurora borealis – with its incredible vitality and color, which can never forget in life. You inspired me to this collection with exceptionally bright colors, laced with violet and midnight-blue hues and dotted with pearl highlights … like a grand night sky!"

Chanel Holiday 2012 Makeup Review + Tutorial Video Details


Hello, everyone! This is probably the longest collection review + tutorial duo video that I have produced in ages. But there was a lot to be said, so many questions to address that I could not afford to leave out. Please note, if you did not properly hear during the review.. Notorious is officially my favorite contouring powder. It might be a satin finish powder, but it is so versatile! D&G's Tan would be my next favorite contouring product for everyday use since that can actually be used as a blush. It just depends on your preferences, but both products should work on all fair and medium to medium tan skin tones! Happy shopping :)



P.S. I didn't even mention the limited edition gold Illusion D'Ombre from this collection because it was very sheer. It fell short of my expectations, for it was missing the lush mousse texture of the Mirifique or Epatant Illusion D'Ombres.

My October 2012 Favorites [Hits & Misses] + Video Details



Another Favorites episode! This one is a little longer than usual because I wanted to thoroughly review all the products. I also included a lot of permanent products since I will be busy with limited edition, seasonal collections this month! Also, please note: I am not trying to torture anyone by prolonging the release of my Chanel Holiday 2012 review + tutorial video. Chanel does not send me product, I had to wait for my Nordstrom store to receive the collection (always later than Chanel.com or other department stores on the East Coast). Then I actually use and test out the products as thoroughly as possible before I film a review.. otherwise, it would just be a first impressions video, right? I filmed the video the other day, and it still needs to be edited. I will have it uploaded on Monday evening! Thanks again for your patience.

My Must Have Acne-Fighting Products + Video Details


I put this video together for all those who struggle to control their acne! These products, which I use as necessary (not daily), have helped clear up the hormonal and environmental acne I have seen since moving up to a more humid climate. I highly recommend everything I reviewed in this video, but please keep in mind that everyone's skin is different so you may or may not see the same results as I have. Whatever happens, don't be discouraged and ultimately.. have patience!

Dior Holiday 2012 Grand Bal Makeup Collection Review/Photos + Video Tutorial Details


Don't forget to follow me on Instagram for beauty updates! @RAEview

Hello, everyone! I wish this video's quality and lighting would have turned out better, but I recently bought a Nikon point and shoot and I am still learning my way around it. I love the results when I use my Canon 7D to film, but my Macbook Pro's OSX was recently updated and I ran into way too many compatibility issues. Canon, I love you but you need to keep up! The Nikon is a lot easier to use since it is a point and shoot, but the color quality is a bit dull and I need to play with lighting tools until I can find the perfect setup. I just barely became fluent with manually controlling all elements of the 7D, but now it is time to start over with the Nikon. I brought out more artificial lighting just to see how it would turn out, and I left the ISO on Auto mode to see if it was any good.. bad Bad BAD BADDD IDEA. The lighting was jumping all over the place, so I sincerely apologize for the wonky results! Plus, iMovie wouldn't allow me to render the video in HD. Sorry! I almost wanted to refilm it and upload it tomorrow, but I am so busy these days that I cannot afford to do that. Nonetheless, I hope you found the review and the additional pictures in the video helpful! I posted some of them here again (plus an extra) just in case you wanted to reference them.

P.S. I just purchased Chanel & YSL Holiday 2012 products, will start photographing them and testing them tomorrow.. and I have a special Tom Ford video coming up! Stay tuned, lovelies..

Dior Holiday '12 Picks:


I didn't mention it in the video review, but there is another palette in the Grand Bal collection. It has two gorgeously smooth, highly pigmented eyeshadows with two lip glosses in the palette, but I was not a fan of the lip products and it was quite expensive so I had to pass. If you love metallic eyeshadows and are willing to pay the hefty price tag, then this is definitely worth taking a look at.


Then we have the Night Golds palette, which I do not recommend. I purchased and used Fairy Golds in my tutorial, which I found to have smoother texture. The Night Golds was cohesive in color, but not as well executed as Fairy Golds. Night Golds's shadows were more patchy and flaky than what I have generally seen of Dior in the past few years. Fairy Golds might not be to everyone's taste, but Night Golds definitely isn't worth the price tag. Just my two cents :)

*Oops, this is what happens when I'm delirious. The Chanel lipstick swatch is Palpitante. Sorry!

And of course, here are the Diorific lip swatches. The model in the ad campaign was wearing Diorling, but I have enough deep red lipsticks. I wanted something brighter, so Diva was my pick!

Tom Ford Beauty Eye Color Quad in Golden Mink Review, Photos, Swatches



As many of you know, one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes of all time is Tom Ford's Cognac Sable. Because I am so devoted to the palette, I was reluctant to try any of the others in fear that I would be disappointed. Golden Mink, however, is a more subtle alternative to Cognac Sable and I am happy to announce it is a lovely addition to my Tom Ford arsenal. I have been mixing and matching all eight of the shades, what a lovely natural pair. I will show you swatches after the jump!

Tom Ford Nail Color in Viper Review, Photos, Swatches



We all know how much I adore Tom Ford Beauty. I have been a devotee since the original launch of his lipsticks, and the full launch of his ultra luxe cosmetics only made me that much more passionate about the products. The Viper nail polish has been on the top of my wish list for the past year. It is now the third Tom Ford nail polish to take its rightful place on my wall, and it looks every bit as sophisticated as I had anticipated. Please see my full review and photos after the jump!

Nail Polish Galore! Collection Review + Video Details


Hello, everyone! I told myself I would never film another nail polish collection video after the first one that I took down because of all the horrid comments and the lack of visibility of the actual polishes, but I received a flood of requests for this video recently so I gave in today and filmed it. The nail polish racks are from Amazon.com, seller Beauticom and I've linked you to the product HERE (not an affiliate link). They lowered the price since I purchased them! Also, please note this video took me over 6 hours just to edit, so please watch it in HD and full screen to see the details of the polishes :)
I do wish I could have posted swatches of each of the colors, but applying all of these colors to my nails would be an incredibly daunting task. It would take me several weeks, if not months, to swatch all these polishes and I simply do not have the time at the moment. I did mention all my favorites, so I hope you give them a try!



Make-up Worn:

Armani Fall 2012 Makeup Collection + Maestro Foundation Review Video Details


Finally, the time to review Armani's Fall 2012 makeup is here! It has been a long process of waiting for the new Maestro 'Fusion' foundation to be shipped to me, but it was totally worth it.. so worth it that I bought a second bottle. Now I can match my skin regardless of how fair I get in the winter or how tan I get in the winter! I can use rich hydrating creams under it, and it doesn't accentuate pores. What's not to love? The review is long because I don't get around to reviewing Armani products much. I wanted to be thorough, even more so than usual ;) Just keep in mind the tutorial starts at 10:29. Feel free to skip the review if you're just interested in seeing how the foundation applies!

Yesterday on twitter, I asked my followers if they would like to see a What's In My Bag Tag video or a Favorite False Lashes video.

Updated Travel Makeup Bags - Las Vegas Edition Video Details


Hello, everyone! I am going to Las Vegas this weekend, so I figured it was perfect timing for this requested video. I am actually not a fan of Vegas because I'm not big on the clubbing scene (too hot and cramped), I don't drink much anymore (too many empty calories), and I'm not a gambler (too much wasted money), but I'm going to keep my best friend company because she has a conference to attend! Friends can't let friends be lonely in Sin City. And Vegas has great food.. you guys know how much I love good food! I'm going to try to track down some macarons, mmm. Anyway, I hope this video was helpful for those who requested it!

Cle De Peau Eyebrow Pencil Review, Photos, Swatches


I announced on Twitter recently that I had discovered a new holy grail eyebrow product. This formula is PERFECTION! So much so that I wrote it in caps. I have very thin, short yet stubborn brow hairs, and it is difficult to find a grey pencil to match the color of my brows as well as work with the texture of my hairs. The only caveat? The price. But look below! My brows look full (nearly impossible to achieve these days) and natural. Continue reading to see why I love this product so...

August Favorites [Hits & Misses for Foundation/Skin and Color] + Video Details


August has just flown by, but my, has it been a month full of memories! I am looking forward to cooler weather in September and maybe a break from buying makeup. As much as I love makeup, keeping up with the collections for my blog becomes overwhelming sometimes. I have also been lax with working out, I've just been eating healthier (though I could eat even healthier to cut more fat).. so I need to head to the gym every day like I used to. M-F, no more excuses! Hope you guys have had a great month of August, too! Let's look forward to September together ;)

Burberry Fall 2012 - My Top Picks + Video Review/Tutorial Details


Ahh, Burberry.. so classic. You have to try at least one of their eyeshadows. I wear my Almond with nearly every eyeshadow look that requires a brown. And I will forever be excited to see any eye shadows they release in the future. The newest three releases this fall were beautifully done, as expected. Dark Sable is a staple - deep, dark brown that can be used wet as liner. Mulberry looks much more berry in the pan than on my eyes, but it gives me an excuse to use Rosewood more often! I love Rosewood, but it just doesn't look good alone on my eyes. The last color to be released this fall, a shimmery white, was not spectacular enough for me to splurge on, so I stuck to the two that I really loved. Anyway, the tutorial is a bit longer than usual because of the liner bit. The product reviews are at first, as usual! Enjoy :)

TAG: Watch Me Get Ready [My Flirty and Fun Happy Hour Look]


This isn't a typical Watch Me Get Ready tag video, I think.. I assume a lot of other girls show themselves trying to decide what outfit to actually wear, right? I am not sure because I have to admit, I haven't seen any of these videos. But basically, I try to get away with wearing Lululemon everywhere (until my friends demand that I change LOL) so otherwise, I usually just throw on tees and jeans or a casual dress if it is very hot out (because I'm lazyyyy). Whichever way you decide to spin it, though, I love these retro full curls achieved with hot rollers and the bright pop of green in the mostly neutral eye look. It's fun, it's whimsical, and I hope it will give you new ideas to try out when you get ready! Wear it on a date, to a party or dance, or on your picture day at school :)

YSL Fall 2012 Make-up Swatches and Tutorial + Review Video Details


Thanks for your patience, everyone! I know a lot of you wanted specific details for the make-up worn in my last video, but I did list "YSL Fall 2012" make-up for a reason.. you can always find press releases of any collection online! A little bit of Google will do you a whole lot of good. And you guys know by now that I rarely ever don a red/bright lip unless it's specifically from a collection! Anyway, I apologize for neglecting to add the swatches photo to the video.. I was distracted by Armageddon playing on the TV and caught the error too late. Sorry! At least it can be viewed here without any distractions. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial (even if it may be 'too close for comfort' for some of you to watch) and found the reviews helpful!

In the video, I also covered the limited edition, Asia-exclusive Chanel Le Blanc Collection (not to be confused with Chanel's newest skin care line) that is available at exclusively at Nordstrom for their Anniversary Sale. Watch the video and you'll see, you don't want to miss out! Happy shopping <3

Perfume Collection Video + My Top 3 Summer Fragrances


A lot of you have been asking to see my perfume collection, and I'm sorry it took so long to post this. Better late than never, right? I've had a couple of these since high school, and I don't necessarily wear them (like the DKNY), but they still smell good when I spray them on! That's why you should keep your fragrances cool and away from sunlight. I also have several other perfumes in storage, but I never wear them so I don't bother to display them. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

My Updated Eyebrow Tutorial + Fave Brow Products Video Details



A lot of you guys were excited about seeing this video, so thanks very much for waiting patiently! I know not everyone is going love these brows as they do look darker and more defined. But I got a countless number of complaints about my normally filled in "natural" brows, since many of you felt they were too light. I'm hoping this will satisfy people on both ends of the opinion spectrum since I showed/included both brow styles.

I would have included filling in my brows with the MAC Coquette and MAC 208 brush, but I didn't want to wipe the first eyebrow to do so.. just start from the bottom of the brow and feather up. Don't use extra product on the front of the brow, use only what is leftover from finishing the arch.

Now, I have been tweezing and waxing. I raised my arches and if you're a beginner, I don't recommend you do this at home because most people generally end up overplucking. Go see a Benefit Beauty brow bar aesthetician (look reviews up on yelp.com before making your appointment) and tell them what you would like.

If you have no idea, then look up pictures of people with similar face shapes and features and discuss with the aesthetician what you like and dislike, so that you may agree on what will work best for you! Be honest and communicate assertively!! Good luck :)
