Review Frenzy = Maybelline

Hey everybody,

Maybelline has come out with some very impressive products. I love their Dream Fresh BB Cream, Super Stay 24 hour concealor, and their Baby Lips lip balm. These are just a few of my favorite Maybelline products at the moment. Maybelline contains so many various types of products that anyone can find something that they love.

For those of you who do not know what a BB Cream is, it is similar to a tinted moisturizer, but it has benefits that help enhance your skin. (The BB stands for beauty balm.) The Dream Fresh BB Cream contains eight skin benefits. It blurs your imperfections such as evening out your skin tone, enhances, brightens, adjusts to your skin-tone, smoothes, hydrates, provides SPF 30 to protect your skin from the sun, and it contains absolutely no oils as well as other heavy ingredients.

 They offer five different shades and because it adjusts to your skin tone even if you are very pale you should not worry. When you first apply the BB cream it will look a little darker than your actual skin tone but after a few minutes it should adjust to your skin tone.  Since Summer is coming fast this is the perfect product to keep in your makeup collection.


The Super Stay 24 hour Concealor covers up almost everything. Of course there is no conceal or that covers your dark circles completely but this product comes pretty close. Think about getting two different shades. Get one that matches your skin tone and the other one or two shades lighter. The lighter concealor is better to conceal dark undereye circles and the perfect match will be better for covering any blemishes or redness. Be quick when working with this product though.... it dries pretty quick.


Last but my favorite are the Baby Lips Lip Balms. These are super moisturizing! They are my all time favorite lip products. They leave color that is light enough for children but yet still build-able enough for a more mature look. They allow you SPF to protect your lips from the sun. I own four different ones and still want more. If you become a fan like me than be sure to watch out for the limited edition colors at your local drugstore.

New Year = New You

Hey!

So A new year is almost here and now is a better time than any to change up your style. Try to be a little more daring by maybe changing your eyeliner colors. This can help you be a little more fun and daring with your look starting with a small thing and getting bigger.

Another thing you can test out is mixing patterns. This can be tough and turn out tragic if not done right. For some help look into magazines. I enjoy watching my favorite beauty gurus on Youtube for advice. Find someone who you find fun to watch and who has great tips and check into their videos every now and then.

Comment below and let us know what your New Years resolution is for 2013!

Quick Tip

Hey!

The quick tip I have today is if you want a brighter, wider looking eye take any white eyeshadow and dab it in your inner corner. I recommend using the color Linen by Maybelline. This shadow has a hint of glitter which will catch the light, resulting in the illusion of a wider and brighter eye.

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo

Hey,

Today I am doing a review on the Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows. I am absolutely in love with these. I only own two (barely beige and tough as taupe) but they are absolutely amazing. They are very pigmented and last a super long time.



Tough as Taupe is a bit darker on than it appears in the jar. With this said, I still love it! It is great under lighter frosty shadows and even by itself. I like to apply it with my finger, but i have found that the e.l.f. essential eyeliner brush. (you can purchase it at Target or by clicking here e.l.f. Cosmetics website) Even though it is a liner brush, it is only $1.00 and the flat side makes it easy to apply and pick up color. To purchase this amazing product click on the store name below that you prefer! (Links are in order from least expensive to the most expensive.)

Barely Beige is a very natural color. I prefer this one as a shadow base, but it still looks great by itself. You can honestly put any color shadow over it to lighten up your look a little. I have to say this one is my favorite out of the two, but I love both of them. This color has a hint of shimmer to it but you might not even be able to notice it. You cab apply it with your finger or with the e.l.f. eyeliner brush. I prefer my finger with this color, because it is so natural you do not have to worry about being precise. To buy this color you can you the links above. ( You cannot find this color on CVS.com)

I hope you all try these out. There are so many colors for you to choose from. I guarantee you will find one you love! Let me know what you think in the comments below. Also, let me know about any products that you would like a review on. Hope you enjoyed!

OPI App

Hey,

For my fellow nail polish addicts I have a special tip for you. If you happen to have an ipad, iphone, itouch, etc. then you can download the free OPI polish app. If you cannot afford or do not want to buy an expensive polish, you can use the app to find a similar colored lacquer at the drugstore of your choice. Hope you enjoy this quick tip!

(P.S. Sorry there haven't been any posts lately. Been busy with school.)
