Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Flawless Finish Plump Perfect Foundation

A short time ago I asked you if you switched to liquid foundation in the fall and winter months or if you continued to use powder foundation. Personally, I resort to liquid foundation with a powder to set it when the months get colder. I adore how liquid foundation seems to give me that flawless […]

Do You Use Liquid Foundation Or Powder Foundation In The Winter?

It’s been so long since I’ve worn liquid foundation; it’s just something I only typically wear in the winter. With mineral makeup increasing in popularity and their foundations being mainly powders, I was wondering how many of you stick to powder foundations throughout the winter and how many of you are like me and use […]

Urban Apothecary Mineral Sheer Tint

On Urban Apothecary’s website, the description for the Mineral Sheer Tint uses the word “perfect” several times. I couldn’t agree more. This multi-mineral tinted foundation goes on smooth and leaves a beautiful dewy finish. The coverage is perfect and the foundation feels feather light.
I received mine in Natural Glow and it matched my skin tone […]

Mix and Match Makeup

I’m not one to stick to a particular brand and just about everyday I mix and match my makeup to suit my mood. I would find it inherently blaaaaahh to just do my face with just Este Lauder or Nars each day. How boring.
Some of my favorite mix and match products are:
* Lumiere Mineral Makeup’s […]

Kiss My Face Tinted Moisturizer

I love when I get to try a product I have never tried before. It really helps to come into a review without having any preconceived notions about how it should work.
1. I’ve never used a tinted moisturizer
2. I’ve never used Kiss My Face
So it was a double whammy with Kiss My Face’s Tinted Moisturizer […]

Products I am eyeing up

Maybelline Shine Seduction.
With 20 seductive creams and shimmers, and the fact that it looks eriely similar to e.l.f.’s Moisture Lip Care, makes me wonder if the colors are better and it if works just as good. (And darn it, I can’t find a picture of it on the web anywhere!)

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Foundation.
I think I […]

jane iredale’s Liquid Minerals

I was first turned onto jane iredale’s mineral makeup line by Christina. If Christina loved it, then surely it had to be something I needed to try.
When browsing jane iredale’s website, I came across Liquid Minerals. I was unsure exactly what it was, as I have never seen anything like it. It appeared to be […]

Max Factor Pan-Stik

What they say about Pan-Stik foundation:
The goal? A flawless complexion. The means? Full coverage with a soft, dewy finish. Pan-Stik Ultra Creamy Makeup uses a high-tech formula to cleverly conceal pigmentations and skin imperfections while giving you maximum coverage. The results? A beautifully radiant complexion with no caking.
What I thought:
Who knew that applying foundation could […]

Urban Apothecary Supernatural Mineral Powder

One of my recent advertisers on A Girl’s Gotta Spa! was Urban Apothecary. They offered a can’t-pass-up special that lead me to purchase their Supernatural Mineral Powder. I haven’t used pressed powder in a very long time and I was a little nervous about picking the right color for me. I went with Tender, […]
