Yesterday I posted on coral nails, it’s like my new favorite color right now. And I love this bright coral with a really light aqua. What’s your favorite color or color combo right now?
I bought one of these shimmer bricks a while back in the Rose color and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it for summer. Gives you a little sparkle on your cheeks and you can use it as an eye shadow too. It’s pretty subtle, so you could put on blush and then sweep this over it if you were headed out for the night.

A little bit ago, Melis introduced us to this little pot of magic. I will say, it works great. I thought it couldn’t get any better until I found this Loreal Magic Smooth Souffle.
It’s give the smoothest, weightless finish that I have ever had with any primer/foundation combo. A couple of drawbacks:
All of this considered it’s definitely worth the 11 dollar drugstore investment and is the perfect pair with Melis’ previous primer.
I sure do! That is, I believe in L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base. I put this on before foundation (obviously, that’s what you do with primers after all) and it makes my skin feel like silk, or in the words of Ak, a baby’s behind. It evens out my skin tone and makes my pores look smaller. Its like a magic! Guess that’s where they got the name…
I have seen cream blush used on tons of make-over shows over the years, but I always shied away from buying any. Mainly because I was afraid I would look like a circus clown, or worse a creepy china doll , as I am pretty pale after Winter. Okay, if I’m being honest I’m pretty pale year round. But that’s another story. So, after much consideration, I finally broke down and tried Almay’s Smart Shade Blush. I absolutely LOVE it! I went with the neutral shade (again with the fear of looking like clowns or dolls) and it is the perfect everyday blush for me. It gives me enough color so I don’t look sickly, but also not too heavily made up for class or running errands. Maybe one day I will work up the nerve to try the pink shade….
I’m a loose face powder fan and have pretty much stuck with Neutrogena for a good long while. However they are discontinuing the specific kind that I use, so I went into Sephora the other day open to trying something new. I ended up purchasing the Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder and I gotta tell you, I’m definitely in love with this powder so far. It’s white, but don’t worry it doesn’t go on looking white. It goes on invisibly and it makes your skin feel like a newborn baby’s butt. Let me just repeat that….my face felt like a newborn’s butt. I swear. I put this powder on first thing in the morning with the rest of my makeup and my skin still felt the same way at 10p at night. AMAZING. I would definitely shell out the bucks on this one.
My skin has turned dry as the dickens since the birth of my son. So dry that I was having my own little snow storm of flakes coming off everyday. I have used the same face wash since I was 14 and it never ever gave me issue before. Having very sensitive skin (my dad’s a redhead), I am usually not one to venture out if it’s working. I had no choice but to look for an alternative so I could remove the flakiness that was driving me nuts. Loreal Paris’ Go 360 Clean, Deep Exfoliating Scrub works miracles on dry skin, doesn’t break me out and smells delish. It even claims to reduce your pore size. Jury is still out on the size of my pores, but my face is ultimately way more smooth. My husband has even adopted it and would kill me for telling you that.
I definitely wouldn’t mind any of these showing up in my stocking this year!!
It’s that time again! Christmas is sneaking up on us and we tipsy gals have been pretty damn good this year if I don’t say so myself. When I sent my letter to Santa, here is what was on it:
