Review: Milani HD Advanced Lip Color

 
      I really like the color of this. It nearly matches my natural lip color with a hint of shimmer. It is just sheer enough to look give color without feeling too heavy, the pigmentation is perfect. I have read it is similar to MAC's Luster Lipstick but I have never personally tried them. Another good thing about this is how moisturizing it is. It doesn't dry out my lips at all.
     The only things that I don't really like is the packaging. In order to twist the product up you have to completely twist the whole stick multiple times which is slightly annoying. But other than that I think the packaging is really sleek and beautiful.
     Over all I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in it. For about $8 this is a really good buy, however I had this sent to me for free so I am not quite sure the exact price. However I do know this is available at CVS.

EOTD #1

This is my daily look for school. I put the lightest color from the YBF Tempestuous Pallette all over my lid then I put the middle color on the crease & blend it together. After that I curl my lashes & add my Sheer Cover Extra Length Mascara. It is so simple  but I really like how it looks.

Review: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

I just got this powder a few days ago & really like it. I have it in 2-2.5 Beige. Instead of wearing foundation I use this. I have combo skin and since the weather has been heating up here my face has started to look more oily. This gives me a very nice natural matte look. It doesn't look cakey or dry at all. It keeps me shine free all day, even after I work out. I would say this has a light buildable coverage. For $7 this is one of the best deals ever. I heard Rimmel Stay Matte, MAC Blot Powder, & the Matte FX are very similar products.

Makeup Tip #1: Mascara

So, you have a favourite mascara & it's running out but you don't have the time to get a new one, here's a quick tip to get a few extra uses!
1. get your mascara.
2. using either a hair dryer, hot water, or a space heater hold the bottom part of the tube that holds the mascara in the heat to loosen the product. MAKE SURE THE LID IS SCREWED ON!
3. take it out & dry it off if you held it under water.
4. then the product should be loosened & ready for an easier application.

does this even make sense?
summary: get the tube of mascara hot so the product becomes more runny, this way you can extend the life of the mascara!
