Revlon Colorburst- Lip Butter

Lip Balm with Color??? Is that possible??? Oh YES, Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter did it in this amazing formula. There has been so many so call Lip Balms with a hit of color. But so many fail at it and Revlon as hit the mark. These Lip Butters are amazing and the color is to die for. I currently own for that I love.

This color is called Cupcake ( #055). Its a light Barbie pink with shimmer. It is very sheer and very lovely to wear for some small color in the lips. The formula is very moisturizing and gives amazing color.

This color is called Wild Watermelon (#063). Its a bright watermelon color in the tube but once you apply its a sheer red color that will bring a pop of color to your lips. But it could be build up to get the true color. I recently got this color and I'm in love with it.

This color is called Berry Smoothie (#050). This a berry color that will make a better color for those who love bright pinks. This color is very muted with one swipe but with multiple swipe it becomes a berry color that you wouldn't want to take off.

This called Cherry Tart (#070). This color became my replacement for my regular red lipstick. This a color can build up without over doing it like with a red lipstick. This color is amazing with one swipe or two or three. You could never go wrong with red.

These cost $7.99 each, but I always get them buy one get half off. I really recommend these to anyone who is afraid of wearing lip color. With these you cannot go wrong at all.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Treatment Concealer

The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Treatment Concealer it is currently my favorite concealer at the moment. I have been using it for over 4 months and has not left my beauty routine. I bought this product thinking that it will not work for my under eye area. The first time I tried I was amazed of how my under eyes look, it was well conceal and it has a brightening effect to my eyes.

This concealer provides a treatment for dark circles, which it does erase them but when you have the concealer on. Alone the packing is very simple and different from normal concealers. The bottle is small and not bulky at all. This has a round sponge applicator that helps you cover the under eye area easily.

The concealer contains goji berry and haloxyl. Besides the goji berry is a super food it is also a good ingredient to use for the skin, it provides a brightening effect while making the skin look healthy and youthful.  Haloxyl is a combination of active ingredients able to absorb and eliminate colored blood pigments in the skin that are responsible for dark circles under the eyes. It also has been found to have an anti-irritant effect and may reinforce firmness and tone of the eye area.

The consistency of the product is creamy and easy to apply. The color is a bit to light for me but it does its job. I love to apply the product on top of my foundation. Then I apply a small amount of powder under my eyes to set the concealer so it won't move around. Throughout the day it does stay on but if I don't set it in with powder it will crease. I highly recommend this for the under eye area if you want to look awake after a long night or if you have dark circles. I bought this product at Ulta for $8.99 and its worth every penny!

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Pressed Powder

The Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Pressed Powder are part of my makeup collection, but they are in a love-hate relationship with me. The foundation and the powder are good quality. Out of the two product my favorite has to the pressed powder.

These two items have been in my collection for over 3 months and the powder has been used more than the foundation. 

As you can see I have hit pan on the powder. The powder has a very thin powdery feel and sort of creamy when applied. I love to use this product to set my foundation. Or sometimes I wear it on its own when I feel like not wearing powder.This leaves a very natural feel to skin and the appearance of wearing no makeup.

 

When this foundation came out I was so excited to try it. The first application lead me to love it. As I kept using it daily I noticed that it would smear and even when I would wear a primer underneath. Also it made my skin look like a grease ball. Overall the texture of the foundation is a bit thick and it is easy to apply it does take about 2 minutes for it to fully settle. 

I highly recommend this foundation to anyone with dry skin or normal skin. For oily skin it is up to you if you want to look dewy or oily. The powder is the best for anyone to set in foundation or wear on its on. I purchase these at Target each were $7.99. I did use a coupon for a $1 off. Overall its a great product but its up to you to see how it works in your skin type.

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer

Talk about pigmentation! I LOVE LOVE this lip lacquer! I usually just use lip balm, but this Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer has me wearing lip color, bright lip color. I watched videos about girls in London talking about these lip lacquers and all their reviews talked about how awesome these are and about the pigment. When I heard this product came to the states I couldn't wait to get them. These are drugstore lip lacquers with high performance.

They do not have chunky glitter and they are not matte colors. The colors are really creamy and hydrating. They are long wearing also.

 

This color is called Stellar (501).This is a bright pink color that could go well with a little mascara and blush. The color reminds of Easter colors.

This color is called Big Bang (400). The bright red that everyone should have in their make up bag. When I wear this color I love to wear with a plain simple outfit and makeup and just let the lip color take all the attention this color is amazing. Its a creamy red that will make you get compliments left and right.

You could find these lip Lacquers in Walgreens, they retail for $5.99 each. If you catch a sale you could get buy one get the other one half off. I high recommend these for anyone who loves bright colors.

Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray

The Urban Decay Oil Control Spray is one of my must haves when I'm wearing foundation. The spray has my makeup last longer and controls the oil around my t-zone. This product is oil- free, paraben free; and it's amazing.

I use this product on after I moisturize and before applying my foundation. The spray feels very refreshing once the liquid hits your face. Once I spray the product into my face I apply my foundation then I spray it again. It kind of seals in the foundation so it will not smear throughout the day.

The bottle I own is $15 and its the small version. The full size bottle is $24. I know this product is a lot just to spray your face but it will make your makeup and oil skin stay controlled. I have used this product for over a month and has made a big difference in my skin and my makeup.

M.A.C Clear Brow Gel

M.A.C. Clear Brow Gel is one of my favorite products. This product is a bit expensive for $16 but worth every penny. I have tried the Maybelline clear mascara, but didn't leave my brows in place like this product. This product leave my brows in place for the whole day.

I usually apply my eyebrow powder from Ziba. And on top I apply the clear gel. The only downside is that once I brush my filled eyebrows the gel brush gets the color and then it begins to turn brownish or skin color.


 

Throughout the day my brows are filled and in place. Spending $16 in a really good brow gel will help frame 

your face and keep your makeup together all day.

Garnier BB Cream for Combo to Oily Skin

The Garnier BB Cream is one of the most popular drugstore BB creams available. The first time this product was introduce to the drugstore I rushed to get one, I believed it would help even my skin tone and minimize my pores. Well the product work perfectly, but it would make my skin super oily. It made my skin look oily throughout the day, so when I would I would apply I would set with powder and throughout the day the oil would come through my powder. Now Garnier made a BB cream for oily to combo skin.

I picked up this product at Ulta for $11.04, it was on sale and I used a coupon for $3.50 off. The product has worked great, the only thing is that its a bit to light for me and I bought the medium/deep. The product does what it says, it hydrates, even skin, controls shine, and minimizes pores.

The product alone is watery but once I apply it dries quickly and its soft to touch. Leaves the skin looking mate but not to dry.I apply this product with a brush. I would recommend not applying powder because it will make your skin look powdery. Throughout the day if you see shine picking through then apply powder or use blotting sheets.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone with oily to combo skin. For the price it is worth and it will last in your beauty cabinet.
