Things I love right now!

Hi Everyone,

I want to share with you a few things that I am loving right now! I know that you may have heard about some of them :)  Here they are:




                       HERVANA from BENEFIT! a "good karma" face powder - I just Love that:)

Let me start by saying that I am not a huge fan of blushes because I just couldn't find one that would work really great for me. So if its not great I am not going to put it on my face until HERVANA  came along!  I like the colors very much! It is more towards a a frosty Pink but not a weird frosty. It does have some shimmer but its just so very little.It has the perfect balance! I think it works great for my fair skin. It  gives you that youthful, natural look! I also used it as an eye shadow so its very versatile.I can just pop it in my purse and use it in so many different ways! can't beat that! The only thing that I don't care much for the brush it came with, so I use it with my Sigma Small  F05. Works great!

 

                       
            The new Lancome Rouge In Love 6 Hour Wear in color 217M - DELICATE LACE!

 I am IN LOVE with this Lipstick! It goes on very smooth and it sure is featherlight. I forgot I was having it on.It stayed on past lunch  time and I had applied it in the morning at eight am. That's about five hours later!!! Delicate Lace is a very discrete brownish neutral color. It think its a great bridal color too. The letter M next to the number stands for Jolis Matin(morning, day shades - subtle and soft ). I think its pretty cool how they categorized them that way. They also have B and N.  B means Boudoir Time( bright color, evening shade),  N means Tonight is My Night ( Sophisticated, intense - deep lacquered effect because of the gold mother‑of‑pearls) They also have such a great color range! I only got one so far but I eyed some others:) They all have that precious mother‑of‑pearls in them so they are not matte but not frosty either. Its more like a  glaze  finish with potent color. It did feel a bit sticky when I put it on for a few seconds but it went away. It feels half the weight of normal lipsticks , and doesn't feel like it's drying at all .Another plus about this lipstick is the packaging! It is so beautiful, so luxurious!

    At last, this is my new little make up bag I wear in my purse. I just found it at T.J. Max and I had to mention it because I think it is so pretty:) The eye and lips are embroidered. I love that! If you can't find it at T.J. Max you can get it online at www.fluffshop.com   It is part of Cutie collection. They have lots of cool stuff there!  Have fun!

My top 10 Lipsticks!

Hi Guys,

  I thought I would talk about something that I have lots and lots of in my makeup collection-:) LIPSTICKS!!! I have soooo many!-:) I am sure you do too!-:) I think its my number one thing that I always end up getting when I go shopping. I just love the colors and the way my lips feel when I apply it.

Makeup of the day!

Hi,
I thought I would post a picture of what I am wearing today. So here it is:

My New Loves...

Hello,

I recently purchased a few products from brands that I didn't really used before but I discovered them now and I love them.

Clarins 'Joli Rouge' Lipstick

In the color Baby Rose(712).




Joli Rouge offers an innovative and incredibly creamy, smooth and melting texture with a wonderful sensorial feel on application. The intense color is enhanced by its shine, to give a really vibrant make-up result. It also cares for lips, providing them with extreme comfort. Finally, Joli Rouge is a delicious treat for lips thanks to its fruity fragrance/flavor. mmmmm like this allot....super moisturizing , luxurious.

Clarins 'Eclat Minute' Natural Lip Perfector

A melting gel with a deliciously sweet flavor and 3D shimmer for luscious, smooth, shiny lips and a natural-colored, luminous smile. It nourishes, repairs and protects lips to leave them incredibly beautiful. Day by day they are more kissable, simply irresistible. Its not sticky and I have been wearing this every day now.

Clarins 'Shine Stopper' Powder Compact

This ultimate shine-control powder compact offers an immediate and long-lasting matte complexion. Minimizes imperfections while keeping skin soft and hydrated throughout the day. It has almoust like a creamy texture and it gives you that perfect mat look.

CHANEL MAT LUMIÈRE LONG LASTING SOFT MAKEUP SPF 15

A long lasting foundation that is truly flawless! This make up will cover very good your imperfections! Looks natural too! Some foundations turn orange on my skin, but not this one!
CHANEL modernizes matte with a lightweight formula that delivers a soft, natural look with maximum staying power. Medium coverage looks impeccable and shine-free for up to 12 hours. Your face girls will look flawless. This is for oilier skin types. They have different ones for dry or anti aging. I am obsessed with this one. It is worth every cent. I have it in the color Clair 1.0

That's all for now... -:)
