Review:
I bought these matte lipsticks in a few colors for my kit from my local beauty store "Chapel Beauty". I bought the colors Dark Plum Scene, Blackism and Capri Orange. I'm absolutely in love with the Capri Orange because when paired with my MAC RiRi Woo it gives me the color of my MAC So Chaud that I lost after one wear. The Blackism is a fun color, doesn't glide on as well I expected it to though. I definitely had to fill in areas on my lips with a black lipliner, just to get an even dark look. The Dark Plum Scene is a beautiful fall/winter color when paired with a beat highlight and contoured face. I say YES, go get a few!

Urban Decay "All Nighter" Makeup Setting Spray
What it is:
A weightless setting spray that keeps makeup looking just-applied for up to 16 hours.

Is makeup meltdown ruining your midnight mojo? Mist on this weightless spray to give your makeup serious staying power. Developed in an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, this groundbreaking, clinically tested formula is suitable for all skin types and features patented Temperature Control Technology. It actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and concealer in place—even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions. The result?

The Original Beauty Blender
What it is: An edgeless, non-disposable, high-definition cosmetic sponge applicator in royal purple, the it color of 2014. What it does: The unique shape and exclusive material available only with beautyblender® ensures impeccable, streak-free application with minimum product waste. Use it with primers, foundations, powders, cream blushes, and any other complexion product. What else you need to know: Beautyblender features an open cell structure that fills with small amounts of water when wet. This allows the sponge to be “full” so that the makeup product sits on top of the sponge rather than being absorbed, allowing you to use less product every time. When wet, beautyblender doubles in size and becomes even softer, returning to its original size when it air dries. Handcrafted in the USA. |
Review:
I bought my Beauty Blender from Sephora and from the moment I got it, it has become my go-to. There are so many imitation blenders out there but none will blend quite like the original beauty blender. The sponge is by far better with blending, then a brush. I use this sponge to only blend my concealer although I know it can serve many other purposes. The price had me side-eyeing it for a minute but I had to invest in my craft and find out what all the hooplah was about and I have not been disappointed yet. I advise you use this product while damp for better results. I have a sort 15 second clip on my IG displaying the way I use the blender. Go check it out @BeSimplyStunning

Review: This product has blessed my soul :) When applying it, you almost feel as if it's not making a difference to your look but once you step back take a second look at yourself you'll see the definition that this powder provides. Very lightweight on your face. I put the powder on my areas that I have focused my highlight to. Pictures come out flawless and you are sure to have heads turning and folks asking, who does your makeup???
Tend Skin

Review:
I found out about this product a few years back when I worked at Spa Sydell. As a woman, I used Tend Skin for my under arms and bikini line area. This product is great. It does just what is made for. It left my under arms looking clear with no ingrown hairs. Men, this product is great for the face and usage around the hair line, especially the back of your neck.

Review:
So I have very sensitive skin, so when choosing my foundation, I proceed with caution. But because one of my clients brough her Make Up For Ever foundation with her one day and I saw how gorgeous it was on her skin, I just had to try it for myself. I started of course with just a few samples from Sephora. I sampled the N173, N175 and N177. The N175 seemed be the best fit for my skintone. I put it on, at first I had to get use to it because I was so use to my Revlon Colorstay but after more contouring and highlighting, simply adding the finishing touches, I began to think I was kinda cute. I would definitely recommend my viewers to purchase this foundation. Its light weight foundation that provides a flawless finish.

If you are familiar with the $18 a tube OCC Lip Tars then you will love these inexpensive lip paints by L.A. Girl. For one, the price difference can make you scream "Glorayyyy!" These lip paints glide on like butter, last long while wearing and the color is just as vibrant on your lips as it is on the packaging. It gives you the perfect glossy look.

When I recently visited my hometown of IL, they were are at the local beauty supply store there too. So I would suggest you try that first. I believe they may be a $2 increased difference if you purchase these online. All in all, I think these lippies are worth the buy. Go purchase and tell me what you think about them.

Review:
I bought this Bronzing Powder in Refined Golden about a month and a half ago. Honestly I bought it because it was one of those MAC Specialty items and I did not want to miss out on having an exclusive MAC item. Anywho, there was no real WOW! factor with me from this bronzer. I actually don't notice a bit of difference when it is applied on my skin or my clients skin. I will continue to try it out and see if I can come up with different ways of applying it so I can get better results.

The brushes are sturdy, the handles grip easily and the look of all the brushes are super professional for a good looking kit. My second favorite would hands down be the contour brush. We all love to contour!!!

MAC Luster drops have not done me any wrong!!!! Since the day I bought it I have fallen in complete love with it. I apply the luster drops on the face after I apply primer. I use it as a skin prep so that each face I do can have a glowing effect once I am finished apply the foundation. But this is also often applied after the foundation for a glowing effect. I apply the drops on the forehead, down the bridge of the nose, on the cheekbones and the chin. A little goes a long way with this product, so be very frugal when pouring it out. This product can be used on all skin types and skin color. I have personally only tried the Luster Drops in "Sun Rush" but as soon as I try the other options I will inform you all with an updated product review. These drops are the perfect dose of shimmer and every girl loves SHIMMER!!!!!! Get to the nearest MAC store, Nordstroms or online to get your Luster Drops. xoxo
