June 2011 Beauty Favorites

June 27, 2011 by: admin

Are you someone who has a million beauty products, but always uses the same few over and over and over?

If so you’re just like me.

It seems like I’ve used nothing, but these few products over and over again lately.

2011 Summer/June Beauty Favorites

1. Prtty Peaushun Body Lotion. This stuff is amazing!
2. Xen Tan Daily Self Tan. Best self tanner I’ve ever used!
3. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. Use this and your makeup won’t budge all day!
4. Origins Vitazing Moisturizer. The only “foundation” I’ve been wearing lately.
5. Pro Face No Sweat Perspiration Retardant. Use this under your foundation for those days you’ll be in the sun a lot, but still want to look fresh.
6. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil. This product prevents UV damage to your hair and leaves it soft and smooth.
7. Lorac Double Feature Concealer and Highlighter. Decent product, not sure if I’d repurchase yet though.
8. Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Frenzy. I normally don’t like lipstains, but this is great for a day at the beach or at the pool because it stays put.
9. Urban Decay Naked Palette. Love this palette!
10. Mehron Setting Powder. This antiperspirant product is great for keeping the summer greasy look away.
11. Victoria’s Secret Radiant Face Trio in White Hot. Love this highligher. It’s just gorgeous.
12. Not pictured, but a favorite none the less is Benefits Creaseless Shadow in RSVP. Wear this under Urban Decays Sin as a primer and my shadow lasts all day.

How Kim Kardashian gets that glow

May 11, 2010 by: admin

How gorgeous is Kim Kardashian? I don’t know about you, but I think she’s one of the prettiest girls in Hollywood.

She always looks so pretty and bronzed and luckily for us she recently shared her top makeup picks for that perfect bronzed,glow with OK magazine.

For a Sunkissed Complexion she loves MAC Iridescent Power in Golden Bronze….

“This powder is great for highlighting the face for a sun kissed look. I apply it on my cheeks and a little down my nose. It gives me a dewy look.”

$22.00 at maccosmetics.com

To create a radiant glow she loves Luxe Boudoir Capsule Collection, Lip Infusion and Illumifill Line Filling Luminizer.

“I can wear this luminizer alone for a gorgeous skin pick me up, or over my makeup, paired with a shimmery gloss.”

Luminizer $49.00 Gloss $29.00 both at fusionbeauty.com.

To bronze her cheeks she uses TANtilizer Baked Matte Satin Bronzer with SPF 15 from Lorac.

“Not only does this have a bronzing effect, it also protects the skin with an SPF 15.”

Bronzer $30 from loraccosmetics.com
