Inside my makeup bag

January 28, 2008 by: admin

I love reading about what everyone keeps inside their makeup bags so I thought why not do one myself. I hope you enjoy it and please send me pictures of what’s inside your makeup bags I’d love to see them.

1. Loreal Paris Revitalift UV Daily Moisturizing Cream with SPF 15 – This moisturizer is great it has Spf 15 and Mexoryl SX. It costs around $20.00 at Target but it’s totally worth the price.

2. Milani Luminous Blush – This is my favorite blush of all time. It’s very similar to Nars Orgasm but much cheaper. It was discontinued but I saw it at my CVS recently so they must have listened to customer complaints and brought it back.

3. Mac Skinfinish in Shimpagne – I usually put a little bit of this on after my blush for a healthy glow.

4. Nars Concealer – This is great concealer I use it to cover little imperfections.

5. Alima Lumina Illuminating Shimmer Powder

6. Mini Vera Wang Princess Perfume for touch ups through out the day.

7. Mac Nymphette Lipgloss – This has been a staple of mine for years.

8. Mac Paint in Stilife – I use this as a base for a lot of my more neutral eye shadow looks.

9. Mac Pigment in Your Ladyship – This is a must have pigment. You can use it like you would a skinfinish for a healthy glow. You can also use it for a very natural eye makeup look the possibilities are endless with this product.

10. Mac Velvet Smokey Eye Kit – I like this one so much more than the newest one that was released.

11. Loreal Voluminous Mascara – If you want lashes that look fake you have to try this mascara.

12. Lancome Kohl Liner

13. Lancome Artliner

14. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil

15. Bare Minerals foundation – the best foundation I’ve ever tried.

16. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer – this stuff covers my dark circles better than any other concealer I’ve tried.

Are you ready for Fafi?

January 21, 2008 by: admin

The Mac Fafi collection is scheduled for release Feb 13th and though it may be sad to say I’m much more excited about the dolls than I am the makeup. If you were a Mac fan last year then you probably remember the craziness that surrounded the Mac Barbie last February. I so hope that the Mac stores are better equipped to handle the madness this year. Are you planning on getting the Fafi dolls or just the makeup?

Charlotte Russe Minerals Review

January 11, 2008 by: admin

A friend of mine is in town for the week and we decided to go shopping yesterday. I mean what better way to spend the day with a friend right? So we stopped into Charlotte Russe and while looking around I noticed that they have a mineral makeup line. Is this a new line or has it been around for awhile? The prices are really good you get a set of 3 mineral shadows for $4.99. I picked up both the silver and purple set. I wore the purple shadows foiled last night and they looked amazing. I would totally recommend you check them out for the price. I tried to swatch the colors of the shadows for you below. Please excuse the terrible photo.

I also picked up a lip plumping lip balm for $1.99. I don’t know how I feel about the plumping factor yet but it’s a gorgeous nude color so I think it’s worth picking up for that reason alone.

Have you tried Charlotte Russe Minerals before? What were your thoughts?

Target Finds

January 3, 2008 by: admin

Do you love fake lashes and lipgloss? Did I even have to ask? If the answer is yes run don’t walk to your local Target. Besides the great deals on wrapping paper and other Christmas items they have 75% off beauty products they consider stocking stuffers or holiday related. They have Ardel Complete Lash Kits for 74 cents. That’s right complete lash kits for only 74 cents. In the kit you’ll find one pair of lashes, LashGrip Eyelash Adhesive and an applicator. The retail price on these is $4.99 a piece so needless to say I stocked up(see above photo).

They had two styles the 135 and the Romantic (see photo). They also have 3 packs of Ten brand lipgloss for only 48 cents. They had lots of other neat things but I didn’t get a change to look around for long. If you go please let me know if I missed out on anything.

Happy Holidays

by: admin

Ugh.I’ve been such a bad blogger I hope you’ll accept my apologizes. I was lucky enough to get the Flu the week before Christmas so that kept me pretty wiped out. Then the holidays had me traveling out of state to visit friends and family and I’m sure you know how that goes. I’m finally home now and you can expect to see lots of new posts in the near future so stay tuned.
