February Favorites and UPDATE
It's been awhile since I posted last. You know how life is sometimes, twists and turns...and here I am :) I will try to post every week or every other week!
A lot hasn't changed since I last did my favorites of the month. But, I have found 2 new products that I live by now, and one product that I bought and ummmm, wish I could get my money back!
Let me first start off by saying Rest In Peace Whitney Houston. We lost another true talent before their time. Sad. I grew up listening to her voice, pretending to hit her high notes...singing into a brush. Her music will live on though. I am happy to say CONGRATS to singer, Adele! Who won BIG at the 2012 Grammy's this year! She is so talented. I have yet to find a artist who sounds just like their records while performing live. She is amazing.
Okay, with that said...let's start, shall we?
So the 2 products that I swear by, I will start with first :)
1. Maybelline New York Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner
I absolutely LOVE this product. I can't say enough about this. It comes with a applicator brush. I have worn this on several occasions and the line is perfection. It doesn't look messy like most other liquid or gel eye liners do. It glides on so easily and it's so easy to use. You don't need a lot of product on the small brush applicator either! This is one make up product that I will keep going back to spend roughly $9 on. The main thing, it lasts all day long! ;)
2. Cover Girl Refined Rose Instant Cheekbones Blush (#230)
I have been searching for the RIGHT blush forever. I never find the right on, its always too light or too dark! I have finally found one that I am personally content with! I love this duo. It comes with 3 different colors. A darker shade for contouring, a medium shade that is for your blush (apples of cheek), and a lighter shade that is meant for high lighting. If you don't know how to contour, visit You Tube, they always have videos on "How To's". I am not an expert on this, so I wont even begin to explain how to do this. But I have learned a little by watching others do it. This blush is perfect for someone who is tan or with olive skin tones!
NOW, its time for the product I wish I NEVER bought! If any of you have bought this and it works for you, then great. This is just a product that doesn't work for myself!
1. L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Eyeliner Mistake-Proof Marker
To start off, I was looking for a eye liner product that had a easy application process to it and a product that wouldn't rub off or smudge during the day. I saw this product in Target one day and figured that I would stray away from Maybelline (my go-to makeup drug store products) and try something new. Well you live and you learn! I tried this out and you would think that it would be a good product because of the marker end to it, but I felt that it was worse. If you don't hold the marker at a certain angle then the line is all over the place! If you don't have a steady hand, then this def is not for you! I did not like how the product went on, and you had to go over it a few times for the color to get definition. It also smudged during the day, and I have a very oily face. So this was not a good combination. This would be great for someone with out a shaky hand or someone who doesn't have oily skin like me :)
**Remember, all these products that I LOVE or HATE is only a reflection of myself. I encourage you to go out and try whatever it is that your heart desires!!**
