Garnier BB Cream Combo/Oily First Impression

I've been eyeing the drugstore Western BB creams that have been infiltrating the market for the past couple of years. So far, I haven't had any luck finding one that I love. The majority of them donning the drugstore shelves are too similar to tinted moisturizers that I just don't get excited by the prospects.

I grabbed the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector Combination/Oily Skin BB Cream in Light/Medium. Let's start with the price–$13.49 at Target for 2 oz which is a little steep for a glorified tinted moisturizer at the drugstore.

This is the lightest shade they have and it is very orange. I would say much more medium than light and therefore is much too orange and dark for my fair skin. I was surprised how watery this "cream" is, it is very runny but does dry to a nice matte finish. It has a very light coverage, which is expected for it being a tinted moisturizer type product. Overall, it feels really nice on the skin and makes your skin feel soft and matte. I just wish it came in lighter shades because this one is going back to the store!

Happy July 1st + Update

Hi Loves!

As you may or may not know, I have been swamped in the process of moving over the last couple of months and sadly, my lovely blog has fallen victim to my lack of time. However, it's never too late to start anew! The goal for the month of July is to blog every day give or take a few days. For the next five days I am visiting my parents which means limited internet access (they live on their sailboat) and busy schedules. I am going to try my best to keep up a consistent blogging schedule for July!


I would love any ideas or suggestions for blog post ideas that you would like to see this month! Just comment below with your thoughts!! I did a little shopping today, so I may have a haul post up tomorrow for y'all! :)

See ya tomorrow!

PS Happy Canada Day to any Canadian viewers!!

Easy Pesto, Mozzarella, Tomato Panini!

Hi Loves!

I took a quick jaunt over to my local Target and picked up a panini press! Can I just say, I don't know how I gone so long without one! I got the Bella Chrome Panini Maker on sale for about $25 and so far I love it. Lately my favorite panini to make is an easy pesto, mozzarella, tomato panini on sourdough or ciabatta bread.

To start off, I like to choose my bread. For paninis, thicker breads work best so it doesn't get soggy with the cheese and pesto. I prefer ciabatta bread or rolls, but I also like sourdough! To create this delicious masterpiece, I start off with Trader Joe's Fresh Pesto on both sides of the bread. Then I drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on one side of the pesto bread and added a slice or two of the Trader Joe's Fresh Mozzarella Log. Add a slice of tomato then top with the other slice of bread with pesto and put in panini press for a few minutes until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.

New Apartment Mini Tour!

Hi Loves!

This past month has been hectic! I have moved to a new city and new apartment near the beach and I am so excited to share it with you. I'm finally all moved in and unpacked and just got wifi a couple of days ago (meaning many more blog posts to come!) So I've snapped a few pictures on my phone for a mini tour of my humble abode to share with y'all. A more complete official apartment tour will come in the near future, but I have been wanting to catch up with all of you in the meantime.

Manicure Monday: Chic Polka Dots

Happy Monday!

I'm feeling pretty chic over here at JessicaHeartsBeauty with these polka dot manicures that are fun, yet chic and oh so easy! I picked up a Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art Pen in black (the fine tip one) this week and have been putting it to the test!

The first one I tested out started with a simple pale pink as the base (Essie's "Fiji") then I kept it simple by just making little dots randomly spaced apart using the nail art pen mentioned above.

The next manicure I tried was a beautiful champagne gold glitter polish (OPI My Favorite Ornament,) then painted a white accent nail (Essie Marshmallow) and added a few black polka dots using my nail art pen. 

Note: I attempted to do stripes the first time I tried this nail art pen but I could not master it. Therefore, I resorted to doing polka dots only. I would like to play with this pen more and see what else I could do besides just polka dots. 

What do you think of these nail looks?
