I went shopping!! Thursday, Sep 20 2012

I recently went shopping for makeup.. what else is new, anyways.. there has been a few things I’ve been wanting to pick up and try and also a new foundation has been released by revlon and it is the Whipped foundation. I picked it up and thought for the price it was a bit expensive for a drugstore foundation, but we’ll see how it does and what I think of it. L’oreal has new single eye shadows that are almost like a pressed pigment that has very good pigmentation, I picked up a pink coral colour called “Pepsy Coral”. You definitely have to build this colour up, it can go on sheer or you can really build it up for a bright colour.It seems to be long wearing, I will be picking up a few more of these, they would be easy to travel with too. My mascara is getting old and I needed a new one, I know maybelleine has a few that are good, I got the colossal one, in a yellow tube because I looked at the brush and that was the type I wanted to try. The formula is wet though, smudges easily Im still getting used to it. I can do pencil and or gel eye liner… but liquid.. not my forte, I wanted to try it though, my hand is a little shaky so a small tip with a brush would be too hard for me to use. I saw a few makeup artist using something similar, it is a felt tip pen that is liquid, it is fairly easy to use and I can apply it without any problems or smudging from my shaky hands. I love browsing through the makeup sections in drugstores and all other stores, when new products come out.. good or bad. I just have to pick them up, Sometimes when new collections come out , Since I live in Canada the united states gets them first, so I hear about them online, youtube, twitter.. etc. Then I can see what products are worth trying and which ones aren’t.

Here is my current foundation routine in a blog post, also will have a video on this soon. There are a few productions I use daily ,I use a moisturizer first before anything, I’m currently using the philosophy “hope in a jar” moisturizer. I need a redness reducing primer because I have redness on my cheek area that normally doesn’t get covered with a foundation. The primer I use is the Makeup forever HD primer #1 (green) the green covers the redness so I have an even ski tone to apply a foundation on. The second product I use is a pore refining solution, the clinique pore refining solutions instant perfectos is the one I use , it comes in 3 different shades , and all you do is smooth it over enlarged pores and it smooths them out and makes them invisible. My current foundation is the Laura Mercier silk creme foundation which is a very full coverage foundation, with the right brush it gives an airbrushed finish and looks flawless. On the really hot days I don’t use this foundation but I do use a BB cream by maybelline , the dream fresh BB cream, which gives a light coverage and adds a nice glow to the skin. This routine is what I do everyday and it seems to work for me.

Maybelline color tattoo 24HR cream gel eye shadow review Wednesday, Aug 22 2012

Maybelline has impressed me with these, these are similar to the MAC paint pots.. which I have not tried. I’ve heard they are good, but can’t comment on them because I haven’t tried them.. so moving on.. I heard these were being compared to the MAC ones and so I decided to pick one up, the one that caught my eye was the Bad To The Bronze. These can be used as a sheer color primer for eyeshadow or they can be used alone, and they last all day!
Swatches: Above (Coming Sooon!)
Tough As Taupe on the top
Bad To The Bronze on the bottom
Have you tried these?
