One of my favorite products from Smashbox is their lip plumper. Unlike other lip plumpers that really over do it, this one gives you a luscious, naturally-looking yet plump pout. Recently, I discovered that Sephora was offering the Smashbox O-PLUMP Intuitive Lip Plumper as bonus in their Gloss & Glow Kit.
This kit features the plumper, along with O-GLOSS Intuitive Lip Color and O-GLOW Intuitive Cheek Color. These products offer a pretty shade of pink that you are sure to love.
Be careful when using it though — a little goes a long way, particularly with the O-GLOW. So use just a …read more

You can look good while doing good with the Global Goddess Beauty Chai Cheek Color in Chowrasta (great name!) This is a gorgeous, sweet pink shade.

When I wear blush, I opt for creamy blushes rather than traditional powders. The color is a bit more sheer and works well on my skin. Though some cream blushes fade easily, I have found a few that last for most of the day.
Recently, I tried Just a Pinch Gel Blush from M·A·C and I really love it. It actually works as a lip gloss, as well as a cheek color.
As a blush, it provides a sheer, dewy color that always looks fresh and rosy. Just a Pinch Gel Blush is priced at $19.50 and available online as well as …read more

I believe the only way to get natural looking blush is by using at least two shades of color. By adding a deeper shade in the hollow of your cheeks and a lighter color on the apples of your cheeks, you can blend them together for a natural look that highlights your beauty.
I love the convenient blush compacts that come with two or more colors. Though I don’t have just one favorite, here are few blushers that I tried recently that I really love.
Lancome Blush Subtil Duo
This compact contains a silky soft powder blush, along with a complementary shade of …read more

This is a cream stain that I use for cheek color, but it’s actually designed for either cheeks or lips. They say it’s kissproof and waterproof, so …read more
