MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation

This is one of my favorite MAC foundations I have been wearing this foundation for about 2 years now. This was released in 2009 and was supposed to compete with Make Up Forevers High Definition Foundation. Its gel based, true to color, moisturizing, with medium buildable coverage. Some of the ingredients include antioxidants Vitamins C and E, which help to defend against free radical damage. This one of the best foundations I have tried in years. I have a few foundation rotating and as long as MAC makes it will be in  MY permanent collection. 


As far as comparing it to Makeup Forevers High Def Foundation this when hands down. When you use this foundation and combine it with MAC prep and prime setting powder its like butta baby. Im really dark skinned like NW47 in fact but when I used MUF High Def foundation it made me look like I had a really dark mask on (not cool) and always an awful line of demarcation. I just used it so I wouldn't waste my money (40.00). When I use MAC Studio Sculpt it just melts into my skin no line of demarcation just blends well. great for normal to dry skin if you skin is oily or combo you will still benefit for this foundation. I picked this foundation up at MACCOSMETICS.COM for 29.50.

MAC Finally Flawless Collection

This is my first M.A.C. mineralized foundation and I am impressed. I have never tried their mineralize line. This collection is actually a relaunch from 2010 but is part of their permanent line. The foundation consists of a gel like feature based system that provides extreme comfort and creaminess in application, making this formula appealing to all skins but especially normal to dry. It make your pores invisible and the blend ability is amazing.


Now I wore mine out on Saturday night and got tons compliments all night about how flawless my skin was and how perfect, or if I had a new skin regimen. Its light weight , creamy, and moisturizes the skin. Downside is that it is a little greasy I had to really tone down the shine with my MAC prep and prime translucent powder here is why. 


This product is made for normal to dry skin so if you are the type of girl or guy that has combination or oily skin you may want to pass on this product. The foundation alone without the powder made my face look like a greased rubber ball.  


Many cleints who wear foundation know that they have a few different ones they use due to the time of year. You know something more for summer usually a matte foundation due to heat and humidity and during the winter something that is going to add moisture because your skin tends to be more dryer during that time of year to maybe up to spring. If you have dry skin or your a silver fox this is your go to foundation. For me it seems like I will on be wearing this foundation during the winter. I bought mine at MACCOSMETICS.com for 32.00. 

Too Faced ABSOLUTELY INVISIBLE CANDLELIGHT

I have to admit this was an impulse buy but I think it all worked out for the better. Like who needs another highlighter made from real 24k gold sheesh! I dont! Just kidding I love love love this product. I was impressed with the fact that its made with real 24k gold and that it delivers a light shimmer hmm just candlelight. Its good for any skin tone whether it be the fairest of the fair or dark like ebony. I have read some people only like to use this product on the as a highlighter but I beg the differ. Used lightly it can be used all over but be careful too much of this powder will just make you face look oily and thats not very cute. I also have Nars Albatross highlighter same gold concept but it has way more shimmer to it but I think I prefer this one because the shimmer is light and not to heavily pigmented.

A few more great things about this product is that is vitamin enriched so its good for your skin and you can also use it to set your foundation.  Of course with everything that Too Faced cosmetics makes the packing is so cute. It comes in a cream and gold colored compact and the mirror on the inside states "Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous". You get a sponge applicator with it but its best to use this product with a kabuki brush if you have one. Applying it with the sponge applicator may coat it on and then you have that greasy oil slick look. I did pay full price for this one  ($25.00) but you can pick this gem up at Toofaced,com,  Sephora or Sephora.com

Lolita Lempicka Fleur de Corail

Lolita Lempicka Fleur de Corail that means "Coral Flower" in French and is the sister fragrance to L by Lolita Lempicka. Both are equally feminine but they rival each other. Just think of Coral Flower as the more playful and carefree sister of the 2 fragrances. While L is more sultry and spicy sweet Coral flower is more fruity because of the grapefruit and frangipani blossom  essences but yet seductive. Both have that sensual oriental scent but you can just play up Coral Flower more because of the fruity elements. This is definitely more of a daytime scent or summer scent.

This eau de parfum sells for $69.00 at Sephora.com again it was a limited edition but if you look hard enough you will find it. For instance I just happened to be at my local T.J. Maxx a few weeks ago and I found it for $23.99 the whole gift set thats a $45.01 savings. What a steal right? Could not pass that up. Again if you are a girl or boy who is more into fresh clean linen scents you may want to pass this one up. The parfum is available at Sephora.com, parfumslolitalempicka.com, or you can do as I did and go to your local T.J. Maxx store.

L by Lolita Limpicka

I have been drooling over this eau de parfum for a over a year now. I was sadly disappointed when I mustered  up the courage to shell out $89.00 to my local Sephora store just for them to  inform me that they no longer carry it. Any who, I was in luck because im a scavenger for a good deal and I love the chase of finding something so rare!  You see this was a limited edition parfum from Lolita Limpicka. I picked this up for $45.00 online and it usually sells for $89.00 at Sephora.com that is a $44.00 savings.  Now what interested me about this parfum  is that its a oriental but not a oriental that you would only wear at night or during the winter its one of those that settles into a nice vanilla layered with cinnamon, bitter orange and hint of musk so it could be worn during anytime of the year. If you are the kind of girl or boy that is into fresh clean scents like Happy by Clinque or Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana I say pass on this one. If your more like me who likes to smell like cupcakes and frosting (yay for cupcakes!) then this is certainly a great find. You can find L by Lolita Limpicka at Sephora.com and Amazon.com.

15-Year Anniversary 24/7 Pencil Set

I have been waiting a good 2 months for this eyeliner set to come out and for someone who doesn't have much patience thats a long time! Well I bought it the first day it was available and it was the best 92.00 investment I have made in awhile. Urban Decay is celebrating their 15 year anniversary with this gorgeous set of eyeliners. The colors include  6 new colors Asphyxia (pinky iridescent purple) my favorite thus far, Corrupt (dark metallic brown w/silver sparkle), Midnight Cowboy (beige w/gold sparkle), Perversion (blackest carbon black) love this color, Stray Dog (shimmery brown taupe) and Uzi (gunmetal w/grey sparkle), plus Baked, Binge, Bourbon, Electric, Mildew, Ransom, Rockstar, Stash, Zero and a Grind House Double Barrel Sharpener. Now, you maybe thinking to yourself that 92.00 is a lot to splurge on eyeliner but if you do the math its a steal! On Urban decay's website each pencil retails at 17.00 a pencil so if you were to invest in each pencil separately you would be paying 255.00 so thats a 163.00 savings. Well worth the investment! The set is available at Spehora.com and UrbanDecay.com
