Maybeline - Shine Free Stick Foundation

Maybeline Shine Free Stick Foundation

 
 Hey guys,
 
Maybeline has a new foundation, that is perferct for travel and it's easy to use. Maybeline's new Fit Me Shine Free stick foundation is a solid "gel" stick, with an anti-shine center core that has powders to absorb excess oil and mattify your makeup.  It's moisturzing, it's lightweight, and it blends easily.



Stick foundations are usually known for being heavy and difficult to blend, but I love this foundation because it's purse friendly, touch up friendly, travel friendly and budget friendly.  Available in 12 shades, Maybeline's new shine free stick foundation takes away the mess of foundation by being in a solid form.  It also applies very easily and feels velvety smooth on your face.  This foundation provides light to medium coverage and sets on your skin with a light weigt, semi-matte finish. 

 
 
 

 
 
I think this foundation is perfect for beginners and teens, and is just a quick and easy tool for a polished everyday look.

COVERGIRL - Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm


COVERGIRL Jumbo Gloss Balm  - Pink (Singer)
 

Hey guys,

Lip balms have come a long way.  Say goodbye to unattractive chapsticks in boring packaging.  Today's lip balms are fancy and way more expensive, but they're quaint in concept.  Covergirl's Jumbo Gloss Balm is just one of the fancy new options that are currently available to keep your lips moisturized and sultry looking.

Covergirl's jumbo lip balm moisturizes your lips with shea and mango butter, while providing your lips with a wonderful wash of sheer color.  You can build the color intensity of the lip balm by adding more layers of the balm, but it will never produce the opaque look that a lipstick, or a highly pigmented lipgloss does; which is a what makes these "tinted" lip balms unique.  I like Covergirl's jumbo lip balms because they're not greasy, and it produces a natural looking color that isn't super shiny.

The jumbo lip balms are easy to use and come in 16 shades.  Just twist and turn the tube to obtain additional product; just like an ordinary lip balm.
 
 




 


I purchased my Covergirl lip balm gloss at Walmart.  My favorites colors are #215 Watermelon Twist, #220 Haute Pink Twist, #230 Berry Twist.

Beat the Heat - Prevent Summer Makeup Meltdown - Prime & Set

Makeup primers for every budget
 
Hey guys,
 
 
Do you want your makeup to beat the summer heat?  Then "beat that face" with a makeup primer and setting spray.
 
 
Spray your face with a makeup setting spray after your makeup application

 
 

 Now for those of you who are not familiar with the term "beat that face," it essentially means that your makeup is done very well, or in slang terms, your makeup is "laid" with two snaps and a twists for drag queens.  It does not mean that someone has beaten your face...lol.
 
In all seriousness, foundation primers provide a smooth canvas for your makeup to adhere to and actually minimizes the amount of makeup that gets in your pores.  There are makeup primers that can shrink the appearence of your pores, resulting in an overall youthfull appearence.  Just in case you're also known as "slick rick," there are also oil-control makeup primers that prevent and minimize your face from appearing oily and shiny.  For the ladies that love a little sparkle, there are makeup primers that provide your skin with a youthful and  natural glow.  If you have mature skin, theres also primers with anti-aging features such as vitamin A, C, E, etc.  The more features the makeup primer has, the more expensive it can be.  Fortunately, makeup primers are now available in various price ranges from drugstore brands to highend designer brands.


Makeup primers

Here are some makeup primers that I recommend:
-NYC Pore Finish Makeup Primer $3.99 dollars

-ELF Studio Makeup Primer $6.00 dollars

-Loreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfercting Base Primer $12.99-$13.99 dollars
-Rimmel Makeup primer $6.99-$8.99 dollars
-Mac Primer $29-$40.00 dollars

-Smashbox Photo Finish $40.00-$50.00 dollars

-Benefit Porefessional $36.00 dollars

-Lancome Pro La BaseMakeup Primer $42.00 dollars
-Makeup Forever HD Microperfercting Primer $39.00 dollars
-Mally's Perfect Prep Poreless Primer $35.00-$45.00 dollars




A setting spray prolongs the fresh look of your makeup and it should be applied after all of your is done.  If you need your makeup to last all day or all night, a makeup setting spray is simply a #MUST HAVE!  Once again, there are budget friendly setting sprays and highend setting sprays.  I've also seen some DIY (do-it-yourself) directions on making a homeade setting spray.  Today's setting sprays can provide a matte or dewy finish and can even provide your face with a chilly sensation to keep you refreshed and cool especially when the weather is hot.



Urban Decay Makeup Setting Sprays

 


Elf Mist & Set Spray, Model in a Bottle Spray, Urban Decay Long Lasting Spray
Skindinavia Setting Sprays



Here are some makeup setting sprays that I recommend:
-Elf Mist & Set $6.00 dollars
-Model in a Bottle Settign Spray $18.00 dollars
-Urban Decay All Nighter or Chill (keeps you cool) $30.00

Urban Decay All Nighter, De-Slick & Chill Makeup Setting Spray


Even if you're just applying a tinted moisturizer,  BB cream, or just powder I personally recommend adding a makeup primer and setting spray to your everyday makeup routine.
