FAVORITE MINERALIZE EYESHADOWS

There are five MAC mineralize eyeshadows that I really love. I love the texture and pigmentation of these particular ones better than the others that I have. I thought I would share with you my favorites : ) The fresh green mix is VERY close to chartreuse pigment. And play on plums is VERY close to Gold Stoke pigment.

October BIRCHBOX

So I have received my October Birchbox. I am excited to try the products. The products that I have already tried and in love with is the Laura Geller spackle and the BeFine lip serum. I am very curious about the Orofluido hair oil : )

AHAVA-Rich cleansing cream
A gentle, non lathering cleanser that whisks away dirt, oil, and makeup.

I am very curious to see how well it removes makeup : )

Bred one- Lip Serum
Vitamin rich lip serum heals and smooths dry or cracked lips.

So far this is true I have been using it for two days my lips were extreamly dry and they are completely recovered now : )

Laura Geller- Spackle tinted under makeup primer in bronze

Hydrating primer that gives you a flawless foundation for makeup and works on all skin tones

This is a FAV of mine in this whole box. It really is a nice sheer base that leaves a slight glow to your skin. I even use it alone.

Orofluido- beauty elixir
Hair treatment that contains argan, linseed, and Cyprus oils.

I love the scent of vanilla and I am excited to try this out on my hair cause most of hair oil treatment have a really nasty smell

The Laundress- delicate wash
I doubt I will try this one LOL

Here are the products I received.

Urban Decay Naked Palette & Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette

I took out all my eyeshadows to see the colors that I have a I was trying to figure out a list of colors that I do not have in my collection. While doing this I have noticed that the Urban Decay Naked palette and the Urban Decay 15th anniversary palette have duped colors and labeled them with a different name. So I took swatches and labeled from which palette they were from : )

INGLOT EYESHADOW SWATCHES

This blog post is long overdue. I have not taken any pictures of swatches of my inglot eyeshadows. I took some time to go through my inglot eyeshadows which all of them are named by a certain finish with a number. As said in my previous blogs I am a huge fan of inglot eyeshadows. My opinion.....they are worth every penny! Cheaper than MAC eyeshadows, you get more product and the pigmentation is incredible : )

MY BRUSH COLLECTION

Every makeup fanatic seeks for brushes that they absolutely love. There are so many brands of makeup brushes out there it can be overwhelming to find the right ones that work for you. My collection grew over a 2 year period. I use all my brushes : ) I use to think some people have to many brushes but as a freelancer and a makeup fanatic.....you can never have too many! My collection consist of brushes from MAC, Sigma, Sigmax, Look NY, Crown Brushes, Revlon, Cala and Posh.

GRAFTOBIAN CORRECTOR & FOUNDATION PALETTES

This palette is a must have in my kit. It is creamy, smooth and easy to blend. This is very close if not identical to the makeup forever concealer/corrector palette. The difference I feel is that the graftobian palette is easier to work with. And let me not for get THE PRICE! Their prices are amazing for the products that they have. I definite
Recommend this product to all makeup artist or even if it is for personal use.....very well worth the money : )

Another fantastic product from Graftobian is their HD glamour creme SUPER PALETTES. These palettes contain 18 shades of foundation. Although the square might look small you do not need a lot of product at all. A very LITTLE goes a LONG way : ) This is the first brand that I have invested in for my kit and I am 100% happy with my decision. They are cream foundations that have no SPF so it is EXCELLENT for pictures. The color ranges are fantastic and even of a color is a little bit off you can add another color to get it perfect.

Everyone that I have used this product on so far have not complained about any break outs and were very happy with it. This is a very good investment for makeup artist and freelance MUA.


I hope this was helpful : )
