15-Hour Makeup Day

So I just washed off my face of makeup that had been on since 7:45 am today and I must say, most of it barely even smudged.  IMPRESSIVE.  Here's what I wore:

• Urban Decay Primer Potion in original
• 2 Urban Decay shadows from the BOS IV
• Mary Kay Lash Love mascara-- Favorite mascara in the WORLD!!!  I hope it never get's DC'd...
• L'oreal Lineur Intense in black.  (Not carbon black.)  This lasts waaaay longer and is just as dark!
• MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC42.  I love me some cake!  I felt like I needed full-coverage today.

Beauty Marks for all of these faves: A+

Good night lovlies!

Dipdown Fluidline (brown) + MAC brush #210 = Eyeliner Pro! =)

Best Long-Wearing Foundation

Aloha beauties!  I just wanted to write a beauty quickie to let y'all know about an amazing foundation that lasted all day long through a few of my Hawaiian vacation days (the days I actually wore makeup).  I didn't even have to use a primer either!  This wonderful foundation was MAC's Pro Longwear Foundation!  I went to a MAC counter in Hawaii and the girl gave me sample of this (in NC42) and she said that she loved it because it lasts through Hawaii's humidity- she wasn't kidding!  I applied it early morning around 8 am and after a day FULL of sightseeing and being outdoors in the heat, the foundation still looked good at 10 pm that night!  Craaaazy right?  I still have some of my sample left, so I'm going to also test it out at work under normal conditions and I'll let you know how that goes.  So far though, I am totally sold on this foundation and I will be purchasing it very soon!

Cover Girl Intense Shadowblasts

Hey beauties!  OK so last night I went out and bought 3 more of these drugstore gems!  (Haha I love that phrase!)  I now own 4 of them and I will buy the other 2 very, very soon!  Here's the scoop:  These are lipgloss style cream eyeshadows which have primer built in.  They come in 6 colors: brown, blue, silver, pink, green, and beige.  I had the brown one for about a week and I used it a lot!  The application is easy, the wear time is all day, and the colors are so pretty!  They aren't as dark as the tube shows, but that's what I like about them...  They all give a pretty wash of color!  I haven't done this yet, but I am sure you could use these as primers for other shadows!  (Think Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin and Greed style!)  These sell for $8 a piece, BUT there are buy one, get one 50% off sales at Walgreens, Rite Aid, KMart every week and you can clip $1 off coupons in every Sunday paper, so you'll be able to get these for very cheap!  I'll post a pic of the product for now and later on today when I put my makeup on, I'll snap another shot.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Milani Baked Blushes- A must buy!

Hey lovelies!  So, I'm here to write a mini review about some drugstore blushes which are definitely a must-buy!  They are the Milani Baked Blushes and they run from about $7-$8 depending on where you buy them.  I bought mine from walgreens.com because I knew I'd have no problems with finding colors there.  I got Luminoso and Berry Amore.  So far, I have tried Luminoso and love it!  I have worn it almost every day.  It is a gorgeous peach color with a slight shimmer.  I also ordered Berry Amore, which is a darker pinky plum color which I will wear tomorrow and update you all after I try it.  I have no doubt I am going to love it as well.  I am so very impressed with these blushes!  I think I'm going to have to buy a few at a time until I own them all.  Yay!  Check them out if you're looking for a new blush the next time you're at Target or Walgreens.

Beauty Mark: A-

Goodnight, beauties!
