Benefit Cosmetics Thrrob

There’s nothing better to a “no makeup look” than having perfectly flushed cheeks…with a little help of course from Benefit Cosmetics new blush Thrrob.
The silky sheer pale pink give fair and medium skin tones a hint of color with a slight shimmer (very subtle). I found Thrrob to be a great day blush, especially when […]

Product Find: Pantina Cheek Sweeps

I came across this product in my inbox and was wondering if any of you ladies have tried it. Pantina Cheek Sweep is a sheer, dewy cream blush in push up stick form. It’s said to leave a subtle luminous touch of flush to the cheeks. It’s got a skin care vibe to it as […]

Prescriptives The Illuminator

I honestly have used this product every single day since I received it. Prescriptives The Illuminator is an absolute must-have for your makeup bag.
This all over face brick of color blushes your cheeks, highlights and contours. The picture does not do it justice. Seriously. Those shimmery stripes of color look rather blah in the picture, […]

MAC Cosmetics Smoke Signals

Smoky eyes, done right, can look gorgeous. Although I have seen some people who just don’t get it and either look like a racoon or as if they have just been punched in the eye. MAC Cosmetics makes it easy for anyone to get it right with their limited edition Smoke Signals collection.
Smoke Signals comes […]

Boots No7 Blush Tint

A while back when I received a bunch of products from Boots, their Blush Tint in Blossom was among the products. I’m not sure how I forgot about this little gem, but I discovered it in my makeup bag a few days ago just waiting for me to use it.
Boots No7’s Blush Tint is a […]

Jelly Pong Pong Chic Shine

I’m loving Chic Shine by Jelly Pong Pong. It is a gele and matte cheek/lip pair meant to give you a playful yet sophisticated look. I received all three colors in the collection: Brazillian (earth tones), Ballerina (pink) and I’m in Love (mauve).
The matte color looks great on your cheeks, while adding the gele gives […]

Makeup Palettes

I don’t know about you, but I am lazy.
As a mom, most times I don’t have time to sift through my huge collection of colors to decide which ones to mix and match and which lipgloss or lipstick would make the perfect combination. I just need to slap it on and run before someone is […]

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 […]
