Maybelline Instant age rewind eraser dark circles treatment concealer

I have seen this product a lot lately on YouTube tutorials and was willing to give it a try. At first I was not too sure how I felt about the product but with numerous attempts on using different techniques on applying I found the way that works best for me. The way that it works best for me is to apply with the ring finger then use the beauty blender to blend it out. This product I also wouldn't consider as a concealer but a brightener. I am a NC35 in MAC and just a touch of this brightens up the eye area like you never lost any sleep. The consistency of it is very much like MACs select moisture cover concealer. I would purchase this again but it wouldn't be for a while because a little goes a long way.

Proactive Solution

It has been a little over a month now that I have been using proactive and just received my second shipment. I started using proactive for small problem areas on my face that are only certain times of the month. Or spot treatment any other time. It is recommend to use twice a day but that is too much for me since I do not have severe acne. I actually use the whole treatment every other day. I use in the morning cleanser and toner everyday. And every other day I use the repair treatment. I actually really really love the toner. After toner I apply my moisturizer and then my makeup. The renewing cleanser has a texture almost like dark angles from LUSH but in a liquid form. Repairing treatment is a product that definitely works for me but over use will dry out your skin. My secret is to use it on the T zone if you have oily skin. It absorbs excess oils.

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSHES BY SAMANTHA CHAPMAN

I am in love! Finally a reasonable price for good quality brushes. Extremely soft and very easy to clean. One thing. I do not use the brushes for what they were intended for. The blush brush I use as a powder brush and stippling brush I use for blush. Besides that deff worth the money. And they weren't pricey at all! GREAT for beginners!

URBAN DECAY VICE PALETTE 2

Urban Decay Vice palette 2!
I am extremely happy with how Urban Decay continues to progress with improvements with their products. Especially with palettes. I am beyond pleased with the vice palette 2. I have the first vice palette and I think that the eyeshadows are gorgeous and I love the texture and pay off of the colors. If you do own Urban Decay palettes right away when you see shimmery or glittery eyeshadow you might think they are chunky or chalky. When I saw the shimmers that is what I was expecting. But to my surprise that was not the case and very happy that is was smooth and not chalky. Love this palette! Definitely recommend for the makeup lovers out there!

NARS YACHIYO KABUKI BRUSH

I read and watched a lot of reviews on this brush and was feeling 50/50 on purchasing this brush. I made up my mind about a month ago and gave in. In the process of moving I did loose it and re-purchased. I am extremely happy I invested in this brush. It is all natural goat hairs so with a good wash before using the smell will go away and the texture will also soften up. It is not rough at all but when you first use it without washing feels kind of itchy when it touches the skin. I love using this brush for applying bronzer or blush. Very light weight and applies product lovely. A new staple in my kit!

Tinted Moisturizers

It's that time of year! Extreme heat and high humidity. As the weather changes like most of us so does our makeup routine. From the more heavy foundations to light moisturizers.I have a few moisturizers that works extremely well with the change of weather. The first one that is alway a staple in my kit is the MAC Face and Body foundation in C5. Although it is promoted as a foundation it is definitely a tinted moisturizer in my eyes. This gives you that summer glow and is very light in consistency. Sets very fast so I wouldn't recommend it as a multilayer product. The second one that I use is the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in Sand. This is light weight and would recommend on a cool day. Doesn't last as long as I would like. But when in a rush it does the job. The last one that I REALLY like and is new to my kit is the Cargo tinted moisturizer in TM-02 Nude. After 2-3 uses of this product I fell in love. : ) This is basically the MAC face and body and the Laura Mercier combined. Has the consistency of the Laura Mericer and staying power of the MAC. Highly recommend this product for summer time use. With this 90 degree weather in NYC. It has not budged. Definitely a staple to my collection now.
