Makeup Accessories

We all know that to have the perfect made up face, entails having and utilizing the perfect application accessories. That's where this tool comes into action. It's called the "Bionic Flat Top Buffer, a.k.a. Stippling Brush by Coastal Scents." This little tool is amazing! It gives you an airbrushed look after makeup application, every time! I LOVE it! I bought mine on Amazon, for maybe $9.00, if that and it was a wonderful investment. This makeup accessory assists in keeping your makeup "germ" free and making you look like you just had your makeup applied by a professional. Other companies make this little tool, too. Mine just happens to be by Coastal Scents and so therefore, this review is based on it. 

Foundation Surprise

I want to make this review on one of my favorite foundations, by far. The foundation is by Lancôme and it's called; "Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Makeup." At first, I tried this foundation over a year ago and was somewhat conflicted as to how I really felt about it. After resuming with the use of some of my other foundations, I found myself remembering how comfortable my skin felt with this foundation. How even and how well hydrated my skin looked and felt. Also, how much coverage this makeup had, without the heaviness and cakey feel the wrong foundation can have. So, you guessed it, I went back to my local Lancôme counter and purchased my second bottle. I still may switch my foundations, from time to time, because I love to try new things, but whenever I want the most radiant skin ever, I will definitely turn to this little miracle worker. :)

Urban Decay

I've blogged about this beautiful palette before, but I found this wonderful, sultry, smoking HOT look you can also achieve with this amazing palette. I am so over-the-moon, over this palette! :)

My Skincare

This is it! The unveiling of my skincare products. I'm excited to share it with you. I get a lot of compliments on my skin and although, healthy, radiant skin should come from within, I like to think that using the right products to maintain that wonderful youthful glow -- starts with really great products, too! That's where Shiseido comes in. The Shiseido company is a major Japanese hair care and cosmetic producer. It was founded in 1872. It's been around for centuries. I not only LOVE their products, but I trust their products to give me the most supple, moisturized, radiant skin I've ever known my skin to experience. My skin has never felt so healthy! Their White Lucent line is the one I use. They have a few different ones, but I'm insanely in love with this line. This is definitely not an inexpensive brand, by no means, but isn't your skin worth it? 

BB Creams

BB Creams, a.k.a. Blemish Balms, are the latest RAVE! They go beyond "Primers." They are a serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and in some formulas, sunscreen, all-in-one. They can be worn alone or under your favorite foundation.

There used to be only a hand full, if that, of companies with BB Creams out on the market. Today, practically every company has produced one. Now, with all of the choices out there, it's only a matter of which one? I have used everything from Lancôme to Mac, Dior, you name it, I've used it! Recently, I bought a tube of NYX's BB Cream and much to my surprise, it stood through the test of time. It's definitely in a class all by itself. It's now one of my favorites!

It gives my skin a radiantly healthy, non-greasy look. It brightens, corrects, moisturizes and keeps my foundation in place, all day and at the same affordable price, as ever. I just LOVE it under my foundation. I am indeed, an avid "primer" gal, but now, I'm also an avid "BB" gal. Thanks NYX! :)
