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 Lavender Pearl along my lower lid with Jane Iredale’s Think Pink eyeshadow trio on my upper lid and brow bone.
* NYX Comsetics Super Volume Lip Plumper and Lulu Beauty’s Velvet Lip Lustre.
* Max Factor Volume Couture for thickness and length and Imju Fiberwig Mascara for …read more

We all have at least one product that we can’t live without. Of course, I know there are several things that I use on a daily basis that I can’t imagine myself without.
At the top of the list would be mascara. I like both AVON’s Super Full mascara and Cover Girl’s LashExact. I have AVON’s in black and Cover Girl in brown. Both are amazing and my lashes would never look so gorgeous without them.

I used Screen Test on my lower lid, brown …read more

I’ll be honest here and tell you that I have never used a creme blush before. So far it has been powder all the way. I read the directions on how to use Lulu Beauty’s Creme Blush and it basically assured me that it was fool-proof.
The color I received was called Pinup and in its container it appeared to be a dark color. I crossed my fingers and hoped I didn’t look like a harlot when I was done applying it.
As with the Lip Lustre, the color looked lovely on me. I found that it was the kind of color …read more

Oh how I love shiny things. Shiny earrings (diamonds), shiny rings (diamonds), shiny bracelets (diamonds) and so on. So when I received Lulu Beauty’s Lip Lustre, I was very excited to put some shine on my lips.
The Lip Lustre I received was in Velvet, which was a pretty mauve tone and almost had a plum color to it. At first I was a little nervous, as I have never used this color on my lips before. However, my lips looked magical and I was really amazed at how well the color fit in with my skin tone.
The Lip Lustre has …read more
