E.L.F Cosmetics!!

I just purchased some makeup from http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ also known as E.L.F cosmetics.  E.L.F sales very cheap cosmetics, I mean dirt cheap like $1.00 cheap and your getting really good products.  I ordered four eyeshadows, one blush, one eye primer, two really great brushes, a great auto black eyeliner, and I got a free lip gloss.  Out of everything I recieved I was truly pleased with what I got for what I paid for.  I have a video on youtube discussing the products, swatches, and the names of the products that I recieved, here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sL9hUZoLOg , hope you like!

L'Oreal True Match and Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Cappuccino

Hellooo! Okay so I have been looking for a good foundation for about a month now, but haven't really been buying anything so this past weekend I went to CVS and brought two foundations that I have been hearing good reviews on so i decided to take a plunge into trying out foundations and hopefully giving you all some insight if you are currently in the search for a good foundation.  So lets start with some pictures!

L'Oreal True Match

Revlon Colorstay

Okay so L'Oreal True Match had pretty good coverage and blended very easy almost like silk, it felt good and had more of a cool tone to it.  However the Revlon Colorstay offered great coverage, blended easy (not like silk), and gave me a toasty warm glow that I really liked.  When I first tried the Revlon Colorstay I was a little skeptical because it looks darker then what it really is, but once you blend it in it's like a perfect patch. So yes both foundation are great and if your looking for a pretty good foundation you can't go wrong.    Below is a url to my youtube video where I am doing a mini review on the two products and it also includes more pictures.  So if you want check it out :) Thanks 4 reading!

Hi-Shine Lip Treatment

First let me start off by telling you that this lip gloss is wonderful and the smell is so good.  Okay so basically this is Hi-Shine Lip Treatment by The Body Shop.  I had tried a sample of this gloss awhile back and fell in love with it, then just recently I found the store in my local mall and I had to have it.  It runs over ten bucks but it's worth every penny because it leaves your lips feeling soft, juicy, and smelling like some type of sweet candy fruit (sry that the best I could come up with lol), but overall its good and it gives just a little hint of color which compliments by skin tone.  I have this lip gloss in the color "Red Gleam" just like the one in the picture and they also provide many different colors and scents.  Overall this is a very good moisturizing lip gloss and I will purchase this again.  If you get the opportunity to try it please do so because it's worth it. I'm about to put some on right now..peace!!

Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara Review

So I wanted to review this mascara for what it really is and what it is not.  First off the main point of this mascara is for big bold lashes with great definition.  In my review, I really like it because it gives a bold look and it extends the lashes slightly, but not too over dramatic.  However this mascara is not the mascara for long lengthy lashes, just boldness.  Applying the mascara using the brush can be a little tricky at times especially if you are trying to get an all around full bold length on each lash because the brush is very big, probably the biggest mascara brush I have ever used.  Also sometimes the macara can clump a bit on the lashes if you use too much, being that the brush is pretty big a little goes a long way.  I have this mascara in black which is the color I normally buy for my brown eyes because it tends to make them pop.  Overall scale to 1-10 I would give Lash Blast an 8.  So if your looking for a good mascara to get the job done this is it right here.

Random Golden Makeup Fun

So lastnight I was bored and around 2:00 am lol I decided to do a mini makeover on half my face.  I use a lot of gold in my daily makeup wear, so I just used tons of bronzer on one side and did my eyes using liquid black eye liner, nothing too dramatic, but I'll let you be the judge of it. :)

So yeah the makeup I used was some Covergirl Bronzer, Fashion Fair Gold on the lips, Estee Lauder on the eye lashes, and Covergirl liquid eye liner.  Simple and golden!

Ga Ga 4 Makeup!

So today was a snowy day and I had a comedy show to go to which by the way was awesome! So today I decided to show you my look and the cosmetic products that I used on my face. I will say that my biggest issue with makeup is coverage; it’s just hard sometimes to find a good foundation that I can stick with. So here are some pictures of the look...I tried to keep it very natural and not too glamour glamour.

So yeah as you can see it's very natural and this is the best coverage I have had from a foundation in awhile because some parts of my face are lighter and some are darker so finding the perfect foundation to really cover can be a challenge, but I'm still looking and if you know any really good foundations that is really good in matching your complexion...do tell because I'm open to suggestions. So here is what I used...

 

Foundation: Loreal True Match Foundation in Cappuccino n8

Eye Shadow: Fashion Fair 3-in-1 Goddess Deesse

Mineral Bronzer: Covergirl Tru Blend Minerals in Golden Sunrise

Mascara: Estee Lauder 22 More Black

Lip Color and Blush: Fashion Fair in Fiery Fuchsia

Eye Liner: One & Only in Brown

I don't apply my makeup in any order, but I do like to apply my bronzer on top of my foundation then apply the eye and lip makeup. So the cosmetics listed above are what I use, I've heard a lot about mineral based makeup and how healthy it can be for our skin so I'm definitely going to do my research about what mineral based product I would like to buy and I will make a post on how I like it and how the coverage is. So once again I really hope you enjoyed my blog today and if you have any suggestions on good makeup products let me know. Byyyyee =)
