Bare Minerals Complexion Perfection Palette
My Color: R250 Medium Beige
I L.O.V.E this Bare Minerals Palette! It has been so long since I have tried any Bare Minerals products. I remember several years back when I bought my first Bare Minerals foundation. It came in a beginners kit which included two loose mineral foundations of different colors, Mineral Veil, and the bronzer. This was a little overwhelming for me. I did not understand why they gave two shades of foundations and I was so unsure how to even make the products work. They made it look so easy on TV. When I received the products.... Not so much. This lovely palette is pretty self explanatory. The Palette has all pressed products with 1 foundation, 1 mineral veil, 1 bronzer, 1 luminizer and 1 cream concealer. The coverage is medium-to-full and feels light on the skin.The kit also comes with two mini brushes.They are a bit too small for me, so that's when I went to Walgreen's and found this bad boy:
e.l.f Studio Powder Brush
This brush feels so amazing on my skin! I would have to say that this is the best $3.00 I have spent all month. The bristles don't fall out which is nice! I was a bit held back about buying a foundation brush from the drugstore. The first foundation brush that I purchased was from MAC and that thing fell apart like crazy. I started just using my fingers after that because I was tired of picking bristles off of my face. I heard and saw some good reviews from a couple of my favorite You Tubers and caved in. It feels soooooooooooo nice. Now that I think about it, I wonder if it would hold up to being used as a facial cleanser tool. Hmmmmm...... Don't steal any of my idea's ladies, but I think I will grab me another one this week and give it a try!!!
Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in I'm Getting Sunburned
I have to admit that this is my first Wet N Wild eyeshadow trio that I have purchased for myself. I chose the color I'm Getting Sunburned.... Well, because it's summer!!!! I wore this trio today and could just kick myself for not taking a pic. I would have never thought of using these colors together. I was especially surprised at how well the purple color turned out as a highlight. These shadows did not crease at all. I'm thinking that I need to pick up all the trios... Which one should I try next? Please comment below!
Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Warm
I really think that the color of this blush is so pretty! I don't really see or feel how the "Happy Mood Booster" works, but I enjoy it anyway. You can really concentrate your blush brush and swirl in the colors towards the right for a great "blushed" look. I like to swirl my blush brush focusing on the left side of the blush for a pretty highlight. Great staying power. Off topic... I'm hungry. I'm kinda craving some ramen noodles but I am too lazy to cook them...
Covergirl Blast Flipstick Lip Color in Smooch
I have been liking this lipstick for awhile. As a matter of fact, it may be the first lipstick that I would wear on a regular basis that actually felt nice on my lips. I am much more use to using glosses. I think that I have an addiction to them? I enjoy the two in one ordeal. The darker color goes all over my lips, while I use the lighter color as a highlight on my lower lip for more fullness. The lighter color tends to wear off more easily with eating and drinking, but that's ok. I would rather have to reapply a color that feels great on my lips verses a long lasting lipstick that feels cakey and dry. I hope that they come out with other colors! I see them on sale a lot so I am hoping that they are not discontinuing the product!
Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask
I have come to find that the best way to get the most out of a skin care product is that you follow directions EXACTLY as indicated. When I think back, I tended to move quickly through steps which caused me not to get the best benefits out of the products. This is one to pay close attention to! Origins indicates that you place a hot rag on your face to open up your pores and then you apply the product. This isn't a mask that you apply to a dry face. I also like to squeeze the tube around to make sure that the product is mixed well before each use. This mask does what it says and you can feel it working on your skin! Once a week is my usage!
Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre in Amethyst
I feel a little bad about mentioning this Lorac product because it is no longer offered online or in stores, but it is my favorite soooooooo...... Here I go! I first saw the Liquid Lustre in Diamond demonstrated on some You Tube videos and fell in love. I am definitely a glitter type gal and always will be! During the holidays, a four pack was offered from Lorac with this Amethyst color, Diamond, a Bronze, and a Silver. I use each everyday but the Amethyst is my fav! It only takes a drop for both eyes. Pop the Liquid Lustre in the middle of the lid for a pop of shimmer. Oh Yeah!!!!!
Kardashian Beauty Bronzer in Cabana Bronze
I love to use Blogs and You Tube as tools when I go shopping for beauty products. They give me a good idea of what I should go strait for or should avoid. The Kardashian line is definitely one that I was not willing to try based on the overall reviews I have read and seen. I went to Ulta looking for a great bronzer and highlight and this puppy caught my eye. It said Cabana Bronze on the front with cute gold-rose packaging. It is a large compact with three tones of color. The left is a light highlight color, the middle is a neutral color and the right is a dark bronze color. Jackpot!! I bought the product and of course as soon as I got into the car, I had to swatch. I looked on the back to see which line it came from and Sha-Zam it is the Kardashian line. Cheers to this product!!!
I hope that you enjoyed my May Favorites! Be sure to comment on your favorites and products that you think I should give a try! Thanks for your support. Wedding day is almost hear. I need to find a great long wearing look since the wedding will be outdoors. I hope its not raining, humid, or to hot.....
Love,
