The girls at Mode Cosmetics sure know what it takes to grab my attention–add some cocoa to the makeup and I am all over it.
Their new full coverage Mineral Powder Foundation is infused with antioxidant rich cocoa and comes in 6 shades (and it’s only $6!!!)

Prescriptives Custom Blend Results

I had a blast this past Saturday at Prescriptives Custom Blend event at Macy’s in the Lehigh Valley Mall. I arrived with my entourage in tow (ie. my mom, aunts and cousin) and was greeted by Laura. I then took a spot in the chair and the very lovely and gorgeous (ie. perfect skin) Sue […]

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.

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.

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 […]
