MAC Mini Haul

MAC and I have been flirting with starting up another relationship after

 a very LONG breakup. 

I bought my first MAC products in college and it's all I used for a while. I 

started out with their studio fix foundation powder, plum foolery blush, bronzer, cranberry eyeshadow

for warming up my crease when wearing brown shades, and their studio fix concealer for 

blemishes. 

I remember my first experience at the counter and telling the associate MAC had 

been recommended to me by a close friend and my dermatologist. She took about five 

minutes and did a few little touches here and there and my whole look was transformed. 

It was love. 

Somewhere along the way I got bored and needed some new adventure and 

threw Mr. MAC to the side and started trying new things. 

Recently I've been really into researching MAC products and perking up when

I hear other bloggers talking about MAC products they are using. 

So, I had a mini MAC haul a couple weeks ago and wanted to share some of 

the goodies I've had my eyes on for a while.

The gorgeous warm coral blush is : Sunbasque 

It is described by MAC as a "peach with pearl." This blush is a sheertone shimmer which 

means it's going to be a lighter finish with a hint of shimmer to it, but not sparkle. 

It is so beautiful for summer if you want that warm sunkissed look. 

It's also a shade I would and will wear year around b/c peach shades

compliment my olive skintone well.

The two eyeshadows I bought are: 

top: Mulch (red brown with bronze pearl) 

bottom: Woodwinked (warm antique gold with pearl)

These shades may not seem like anything out of the ordinary, but they are actually 

pretty unique colors. 

I love neutral eyes! They will always be my favorite and what I come back to. 

Pretty. Classic. Can't go wrong. 

I also picked up the Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NW20. 

I've used this before and it's great. I told the girl at the counter I wanted something 

a little lighter to put under my eyes that would brighten, highlight and conceal. 

MAC describes this as "a lightweight fluid concealer that provides medium to full

coverage with a comfortable matte finish."

So, there's my Haul. 

Do you use any MAC goodies? If so share the deets! 

Product of the Day- Primers

I love summer. It's my favorite of all seasons, but the heat can

mean more oil, shine, and makeup that has dripped or run off.

 

I have only been using face and eye primers for the past year or two. It was

one of those products that when introduced at a makeup counter I often thought...

I'm not spending my money on something you can't even see!!! No thanks.

Give me something fun with color.

 

 

However, I've grown up and matured into the knowledgeable woman I am now and

realize they do, indeed serve a great purpose. : )

 

Face Primers:

 

A face primer serves to protect your skin and act as the base for your foundation

or powder. It's going to be the product that your foundation is going to stick to rather

than your skin. It's going to give your foundation, blush, bronzer, etc longevity in

making it through the day.

 

Their are a variety of primers you can get with different formulas based on your

skin and what you are trying to accomplish.

 

From left to right:

the Pore fissional by Benefit: pore minimizing. $30 at Sephora

Fix & Perfect by Rimmel: smoothes skin and minimizes pores. $6 at Wal-Mart

Brightening Complexion Potion by Urban Decay: brightens. $31 at Ulta or Sephora.

 

 

Eye Primers:

 

An eye primer is designed to serve as the base for your shadows. Just as a face

primer it's going to give your shadows something to stick to and last through the

day. It's also going to make the color of shadows stay vibrant and

not fade or crease.

 

I always apply my eye primers. I'm guilty of skipping my face primer, but unless

I'm just in a huge hurry this is a step in my daily routine.

 

You can buy all kinds of eye primers. Some have color, some are colorless, some

are in a jar, some have a wand. It's all in what you want and what you are trying to

achieve. To me the easiest and fastest one is the NYX HD

b/c it comes with a little wand and it's just effortless.

 

However, I love my jar primers that have color b/c they can be worn on their own

for a natural look or serve as a pretty base of color for a look.

 

These are all my favorites:

From left to  right:

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. $6 at Target.

NYX HD Shadow Base: $7 at Ulta or Drugstore.com

Lorac Behind the Scenes: $21 at Sephora.

Make up Forever Aqua Cream #13: $23.

 

Do you prime? What are YOUR favorites?!

 

 



What's in my Purse? Summer Lippies

Happy Friday!!!

 

I thought it would be fun to show you all my favorite summer lippies

that I've been keeping in my purse. These are all my current faves and my go

to shades for the season.

 

I rotate out my purse lippies from time to time so I am giving love to them all...

b/c as I've said before I currently have a lip product obsession that I can't seem

to beat. I keep a variety of shades mostly in the pink/coral family.

 

 

From left to right...

 

Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon (bright pink/red)

CoverGirl lip perfection jumbo gloss balm in Watermelon Twist (medium cool pink)

CoverGirl lip perfection jumbo gloss balm in Coral Twist (sheer coral)

Clinique chubby stick intense in Heftiest Hibiscus (very bright deep coral)

Revlon Super Lustrous Gloss in Kiss me Coral (bright coral with shimmer)

Revlon Super Lustrous Gloss in Pink Pop (bright bubble gum pink)

Bobbi Brown Rich lip Color in Pink Peony (matte classic medium pink)

Burt's Bee lip balm with Pomegranate oil

Khroma joystick in Sea Coral (muted neutral coral)

 

I didn't realize how many corals I have in my purse until writing this post!

Let me know if you are interested in seeing any of these specific shades with swatches

and more detailed pictures!

 

What lippies are in your purse today?

 



Product of the Day- Bronzer Dupe

If you are anything like me Bronzer is a big part of your makeup routine.

I remember when I first started using bronzer in college and thinking wow, this

product is a game changer for how my makeup looks.

 

Since buying my first MAC bronzer in 2004 I have never looked back on going

without it. It is a product that instantly brings glow, warmth, color and health to your

skin. I use it in every season of every day. Love bronzer!

 

For the past year I have been pretty obsessed with NARS Laguna Bronzer sold

at Sephora. It's a great shade that works for so many different skin tones. The texture

is great and it blends nicely into your skin. I've gone through numerous compacts

of this little baby and it's been a staple in my routine.

 

UNTIL, I found something at Target a few weeks ago that caught my eye.

NYC has a bronzer I've heard a lot of hype on called Sunny. Seeing that it

was on sale for a whopping $4 I thought what the heck.... I'm going to try this out

and see if it compares to my NARS.

 

 

NARS Laguna Bronzer retails at Sephora for $36 and it described as a brown

with golden shimmer. However, I don't see any shimmer in it. To me it is a very matte

bronzer. Works great with fair-medium skin tones.

 

 

When I opened the NYC Sunny up the first thing I noticed is that it appeared

lighter than NARS. I was thinking this is not going to work as well with my skintone

being darker in the summer. But, once I actually applied it I was shocked to see that

it actually did put off a good color and worked really well.

 

I do think NARS is a bit warmer on my skin and probably works a little better for me

this time of the year, but the NYC Sunny is a phenomenal dupe.

 

If you are on a budget and in the market for a great bronzer this summer I would

suggest going to Target or Wal-Mart and picking this one up. For $4 you cannot

beat this with a flippin stick.

 

Do you have a favorite bronzer?

 

 



Product of the Day- Brush

I have found the most perfect brush to use for applying

cream blushes and highlighters.

 

THE. BEST.

 

And the best part about it.... it's flippin $3!!!!

 

 

 

I like using more cream products this time of the year for a more dewy finish

that looks fresh for spring. I have several cream and liquid highlighters and have been either

applying them with my fingers or a sponge. Not the worst application method, but after

finding the small stipple brush by e.l.f. my heart has been stolen.

 

If you have never owned a stipple brush you should. I have a larger stipple brush by

Real Techniques that I use for applying foundation. If you aren't familiar with the purpose

of a stipple brush it's basically to provide a soft, flawless, more natural finish. A buffing

brush that a lot use for buffing in foundation provides a bit more coverage, but the idea

of a stipple brush is that you get a more natural flawless finish.

 

The size of this small stipple brush is perfecto for highlighters b/c when highlighting you

are applying a product to a small concentrated area (typically the tops of your cheekbones.)

This brush allows so much control in where you are placing the product!

 

Love, Love, Love it! If you are into cream blushes or highlighters I would highly

recommend a trip to your local Target store!

 



Product of the Day

I finsished my Maybelline Clean Express eye makeup remover

this morning and thought what better time than to do a quick review.

 

Maybelline released this new remover this year. I am always using these removers

and most of them work about the same. (although my favorite is still by Neutrogena)

 

Clean Express is a waterproof mascara remover and claims to be

 ultra gentle and oil free.   

 

 

Like I said there is not going to be an indepth review on this product. Most eye

make up removers do the same thing so there is not a ton of room for explanation

and demonstration.

 

But, I will say I did really enjoy using this product. It works very effectively in

removing all your mascara, shadows, and liner. It doesn't burn and does have a cooling

calming effect on the eyes.

 

This retails at drugstores for around $5. I would most definitely repurchase this again.

However, I am planning on buying the Neutrogena brand next just for comparison

to see which one does the job better.

 

What's your favorite eye make up remover?!



Drugstore Blushes- Milani

If your search for a good drugstore blush has left you less than impressed

then here's that moment when you should tune in! 

Until I recently discovered the Milani Baked Blushes I had never found a 

blush at the drugstore that was worth much to me. 

I decided to purchase two good corals for spring. 

Left: Coralina

Right: Luminoso

Coralina is a gorgeous bright red coral that will look great with a good tan for that 

pop of color we all want this time of the year. 

Luminoso, oh how I love thee. This has been my go to blush for a while now. It is the perfect peach color.  I have to force myself to use other blushes b/c this baby is perfecto! It works with anything and 

everything. It's one of those blushes you don't have to think about what you are pairing it with.

Works great with a bright lip, smoky eye, natural eyes, natural lip... ok, you get the point. 

LOVE this blush! 

Another reason I love these blushes is because they are baked. I don't understand all that goes

into baked products other than they are baked directly on some kind of Italian terra cotta tile. 

Baked products always give off great color pigmentation on top of giving your skin

a good healthy glow. 

They have a highlighting effect to them... so if you are into highlighting (like me)

you may want to go easy on that with these blushes to prevent looking too much 

like a disco ball. 

Here are your swatches. 

Left is Coralina 

Right is Luminoso

These are by far my favorite blushes at the moment and unless something drastically 

changes remain in my opinion the best drugstore blushes. These come in a variety of 

shades and retail for around $7. 

What is your favorite spring blush?! 

Product of the Day- St. Ives

This is a product I'm sure everyone is familiar with, but I have

enjoyed rediscovering this the last few months!

 

St. Ives Apricot Scrub has to be one of the best and most affordable exfoliaters in the

drugstore today. It's been around forever, has fresh natural ingredients, smells

GREAT, and even tastes good too! ha. When I am using this scrub around

my mouth I will often get some product around my lips and have done a taste test...

and approve!

 

 

This is an exfoliater for your skin that claims to prevent blackheads and minimize

pores. My goal is to try to use this every other day to see if I notice a difference in my

pores around my cheeks and mouth. That seems to be my problem area. I like that

the apricot scrub is more of a hearty exfoliater. What I mean by that is that it's gentle

enough for daily use, but it's not so gentle that you don't feel and notice it's doing it's

job. There are some products that exfoliate (Aveeno) and the beads are so small that

you don't feel like you are getting a good scrub in.

 

My skin does feel super soft after using this scrub... as it would with most any

exfoliater. The things I like most about St. Ives Apricot scrub is the price tag,

the smell and, the consistency of the product.

 

Have you tried this scrub?! 

Product of the Day- Bliss

I rarely blog about bath & body products, but wanted to pass along

some info today on a body wash/bubble bath that I have thorougly enjoyed using.

 

My mother gave me the Bliss Lemon & Sage soapy suds body wash + bubble bath

a few months back and it has been such a treat!

 

 

First of all, the smell of this is amazing. It's a clean and fresh citrus... almost salon

like type smell. Smells somewhat luxurious if that makes sense. I'm terrible

with describing scents. Aren't we all?!

 

This is such a lathering formula so it works pefect for a relaxing bubble bath... which

is my personal fave! Or, it works great as just an every day wash.

 

This retails at Sephora for $18.

 

What's your favorite bubble bath product?



POTD- Mascara

I recently bought a new mascara that has instantly become the best mascara I have 

used in a year. I heard great review after great review after great review on this mascara, 

but just never picked it up until recently. 

Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume is seriously the best drugstore mascara for making my 

lashes super thick, and voluminous. One coat could be enough for a more natural look,

but with 2 or 3 coats my lashes are like BAM! 

The brush is very large and has a rubber like brush that reminds me a lot of the 

Benefit They're Real mascara brush. 

Covergirl Lashblast can be found at your local drugstore and retails for around

$7. 

I'm in the market for a new eyelash curler. Leave me a comment with what 

you currently use and if you like it! 

Product of the Day- Color Tattoo

Happy Friday People! We made it or are slowly making it to the weekend. 

Today's POTD is a new Maybelline Color Tattoo I picked up at Ulta 

this week. They were featuring a BOGO on several new items so I bought this along 

with my new Loreal Glossy Stain. 

If you read my blog regularly you know that I love this product. I believe this is the 7th or 

8th one I have bought. They are a great cream base for your eyeshadow. Some of the darker

shades can be worn alone for just a sweep of color, but with the lighter shades I prefer

to use them as a primer. I apply with my fingers and then apply a powder shadow over

for fantastic color and lasting power!

The shade I was specifically looking for "Inked in Pink" was in their promotional 

basket. YAY! Love when that happens. I had read a review on this color and 

knew it was something I would get a lot of use out of. 

"Inked in Pink" is a soft pearl champagne pink. It is very light and natural and works 

well with a variety of colors. 

This week I have been applying the color tattoo as my base and then placing Loreal Amber

Rush over lid and then using a matte medium brown in my crease/corner. But, with this light

pink color you could use any shade of brown or purples or light beige colors. 

It's just a very functional pink. 

(Here's a free FOTD with my eye look) 

(Side note... on lips is the new Loreal Glossy Stain... still loving that) 

Out of all my Maybelline Color Tattoos this is currently my fave. I've said before there 

are colors that are so yummy I want to eat and this is one of those! It's just such a pretty girlie 

feminine pink. 

I have a feeling "Inked in Pink" is going to become a staple in my routine especially 

with spring and summer around the corner! It will be a great shade for those months! 

Have a great weekend and let me know what you think about this review! 

First Impression- Loreal Glossy Stain

 Happy Hump Day! 

I haven't finished my Christmas reveals, but wanted to do a quick post today on my 

"First Impression" of the newly released Loreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lacquer Lipgloss

Stain. That was a mouthful, huh?! 

So, quick product description: These are a dupe for the expensive YSL glossy stains

that are sold at Sephora for $32. I did a Wednesday Wishes post back in the fall for wanting 

that product, but I never splurged due to the price tag.  

Loreal just released their version of a glossy stain and the concept is just how it reads...

a lip gloss that will stain your lips. 

Here is the packaging of the gloss. It's really nice and somewhat fancy feeling with it being all gold. 

Here is a swatch of the color I chose: 

"Rose On and On" which is a natural and sheer peachy/rose color. 

A great everyday natural shade. 

And here you have it on my lips today! 

I personally really like the shade for a soft natural look being at work and not wanting

anything too terribly flashy. 

Overall thoughts and first impression of product: 

I've used this a total of one whole day and was really impressed despite all the negative

reviews I read. Did my lips look glossy all day long? No. Did I have a stain all day long?

HECK to the YES, people! I applied this gloss yesterday morning around 8am and 

still had a color on my lips last night at 11pm before I got in bed! I don't know about you,

but that is pretty darn impressive in my opinion! 

The overall feel of this product is a little more dry and a tad sticky at times, but nothing

terrible. I felt like throughout the day I still had a little shine that set it apart from just 

a stain. 

I love long lasting products, especially lips! I am not just a chap stick kind of gal, so for

me this product is great just due to the staying and lasting power. I love not having a lip

product rub off after a few conversations at work or drinking a few sips of coffee. 

My overall rating of this gloss after my first impression is:

A-

staying power... excellent

color pigmentation... great

price... great

glossy... ok

What do you think? Would you try this new Loreal glossy stain? 

Product of the Day- Rimmel Gloss

Hello there, and Happy Tuesday. I hope your Tuesday has been better than 

mine. Car trouble right before Christmas = a whole lot of NOT FUN!! Boo. 

Anyway, trying to stay positive and focus on all the blessings and not the unfortunate

things that catch us off guard. 

Anywhoo, Today's POTD is a gloss I have found myself reaching for quiet often.

Rimmel moisturizing gloss in Purple Rescue is a gorgeous bright shade that is actually

very wearable and a fun pop of color for anytime, but especially during Holiday season. 

This picture was taken with a flash so it looks a little bit brighter than

what it actually is. Plus, I had put several coats on to try to get a good pic. 

This shade can be very sheer or built up for more color. 

It is very moisturizing and feels great on your lips. My only complaint is

like most glosses it doesn't have good lasting power. Comes off very easily

after talking or taking a few sips of your drink. 

This is a very affordable gloss that can be found at any drugstore. 

What is your favorite gloss to wear during the Holidays? 

Product of the Day- Primers

Today's POTD are two different primers that I use on a daily basis for 

prolonging my foundation and eye shadows. 

I have had friends ask me before (especially that have oily skin) how to get their 

make-up to last all day without running off and my answer is very simple. 

PRIMERS. 

There are many different primers on the market and you can spend a lot or you can

find some really affordable options at your local drugstore. I personally have opted

for the cheaper route b/c I feel like while it's a very important product it's not something

you actually see. 

My current foundation and shadow primers are:

On left is my foundation primer by Rimmel, Fix & Perfect. As you can see it claims to 

smooth skin and minimize pores. I can't say that I really tell a big difference in my pores, but

it does help my foundation last all day. This product actually comes out an orange color, but no

need to fret b/c it blends in to your skin without any color. It does have a different smell that I'm 

not sure how to describe. I personally like it a lot. It's not something that lingers or you will 

smell throughout the day, but when first applied you do smell. Retails at drugstores 

for around $5.

The primer on the right is for my eyeshadows and it's by NYX (sold at Ulta). It's 

packaged much like a mascara so the applicator comes out in a wand form. This is a nude

color that blends in to your skin. This makes such a difference in getting your shadows to last

all day without creasing, running, or fading! This retails at Ulta for around $5. 

These both are great products that will remain apart of my routine. I will never go back to not

using a foundation or shadow primer. Once you see the pay off of a lasting look it's a quick step you

will enjoy adding to your routine. 

What are your favorite primers? 

Product of the Day- Concealer

Today's product of the day and review is brought to you by 

Revlon and Maybelline. 

I have been using 2 different concealers for different reasons, but they both have been

a favorite in my routine during these winter months. 

On the left I have Revlon Photoready Concealer in the shade light/medium. 

This is my favorite concealer of the moment for concealing blemishes, spots, or even 

under the eyes. It's a thicker formula, but yet very creamy and blendable. I didn't use this

as much during the summer, but it's been perfect for me during the winter months as I have 

felt my skin needs extra coverage in areas. 

I have found myself applying a thinner layer of foundation all over my face and 

then using this to really go over areas that are in need of some tlc for a more flawless finish. 

Love this concealer and would definitely repurchase at my drugstore when I run out. 

The concealer on the right is Maybelline Dream Lumi touch Highlighting concealer

in the shade beige (might need a lighter shade). 

I have found this to be a great concealer for brightening up your under eye area. I don't have

many dark circles or bags under my eyes, but I still find it helpful for making my eyes

look more awake, youthful, and brightened. I had to play around with this a little to find the best

application is patting with your finger. I used brushes and sponges and wasn't getting the effect

I wanted, but after application I just use my middle finger to lightly dab the product into

my skin and you can see the difference a lot more effectively. 

I have friends that don't use concealer and it's not always needed. You can always

double up on foundation if you need extra coverage, but for me during these colder 

months I find it more needed and it gives me a more polished look when I want it! 

These both have gotten great reviews in the beauty world for different reasons. 

What is your favorite concealer?!

Product of the Day- Loreal Infallible Shadow

I'm back after a long weekend of food and festivities with a POTD. 

I grabbed this Loreal Infallible eyeshadow in Amber Rush while out and about

with mom. It's one of those shadows that has been on my radar and I have heard countless

positive reviews on. 

I must say the reviews live up and exceed any expectation I had! 

These are sold as a single shadow and are packaged in this cute little plastic case that

screws off and product is in a little pot. This color is a beautiful rose gold color that looks 

like pure gold when swatched. 

It is rich in color, texture, and staying power. These are marketed as a 24 hour shadow, which 

I can't vouch for, but I can say with a primer they last a whole work day without creasing 

or losing the vibrant color. 

I used Amber Rush as a lid color and paired a matte medium brown in my outer corner and 

crease. 

This color would make for a gorgeous holiday festive color due to the shine and shimmer

it provides. 

Have you tried any of these shadows?! 

Product of the Day- Dry Shampoo

If you have read my blog regularly or if you know anything about me you will 

know that Dry Shampoo is a holy grail product for me. I could not live without this in 

my beauty routine. I literally only wash my hair once or twice a week now and my hair 

looks at it's very best when dirty and dry shampoo applied. 

I frequently go through different dry shampoo's just to test and try various lines 

and see what I like. I've gone through many bottles and they all pretty much do the job, 

but I have found some that I really do like and one's that I don't. 

My latest try/find is by Batiste Hint of Color for dark and dark brown hair. 

This really caught my attention b/c the only bad thing I can think of with dry shampoo is most

come out white and with dark hair you have to spend a little time blending in. So, how awesome

to have it come out of the bottle already dark?!?! Well, that would be awesome if it did that, but

honestly it doesn't. It still has a white powdery finish, but blends in very easily. 

Other than the color not living up to it's claims I have no other complaints. This product 

is so wonderful. It has a great smell, gives lots of volume to roots when your hair is oily, and 

refreshes your hair without washing. If you have never tried dry shampoo I HIGHLY 

recommend this stuff. It has become such a staple in my routine that has saved me time in 

washing, blow drying, styling and on top of that just makes my hair look better and more 

healthy! Batiste is a great brand to try b/c it's sold at drugstores, and Ulta and is affordable. 

This bottle retails for $8.99

You can get Batiste in Hint of Color for Blonde hair, Batiste original scent, Batiste

Blush, and Batiste Tropical. The scent of this one is the best I have tried in their line. I don't

know how to describe it. It's kind of powdery in a shea butter/beach kind of smell. Maybe. 

Do you use dry shampoo? If so, what are your favorites? 

Product of the Day- Revlon Quad

After really enjoying my Revlon Colorstay quad in Decadent I decided to pick

up another that had a darker more fall look. 

Last year I really got into using olive and found it looks amazing on brown eyes. Olive 

is such a pretty color that looks great mixed with gold and browns. It's also a color that is complimentary on any eye color and will give a great pop of color. 

This is the quad in Adventurous and as you can see comes with:

Light cream highlight, olive green, copper brown, and matte dark brown. 

These shades are gorgeous and rich in color. It only takes a small tap of these

shades to give off a lot of color. These quads claim to last 16 hours. I have not personally 

put this to the test, but can say that with a primer these do last most of the day and I don't 

experience any creasing. 

Revlon Colorstay quads can be found at your local drugstore and retail for around $7. 

Stay tuned for Face of the Day posts with these shadows incorporated. 

Have you tried any Revlon colorstay quads? 

Product of the Day- New Hair Routine

My current hair routine since spring has been curly wavy natural hair and I 

have thoroughly enjoyed this look. It's super easy, full of volume and curls, and glamorous. 

However, my routine has left my hair really dry and somewhat unruly on the ends. Let's be honest

my hair could probably use a good haircut and if I brushed through it occasionally instead of

letting it dry naturally I might not have the problem I do. 

So, I still want curls and I want them to be my curls without heat, but I want softer more 

healthy touchable curls. I have done some research and come up with a routine that I am 

looking forward to trying. 

Step 1:

Washing and Conditioning with John Frieda Hydrating line for 

Extra Dry Hair.

Step 2:

Spraying John Frieda Leave-in conditioning spray to 

the ends of my hair where there is the most dryness. 

Step 3: 

Applying this Loreal Eversleek Argan Oil treatment to the ends

of my hair for extra smooth and soft results. 

(Bought this last night and it smells ahhhh-mazing, retails for $14 and I am hoping 

is a great cheap alternative to the expensive Moroccan Oil that retails for $40 plus)

Step 4:

Apply these Conair spiral rollers all over my head, go to bed with 

wet head, and wake up in morning to take these out and hopefully have beautiful, healthy, soft, 

touchable curls! Fingers crossed. 

This will obviously require a bit more time than my current routine, but not too much more. 

I still plan on this lasting me days before re-washing. I typically only wash my hair twice a week

and use dry shampoo in between washes. 

Stay tuned for a review of how this look turns out.  

Product of the Day- Eye Duo

Today's POTD is brought to you by the Loreal Hip Eyeshadow Duo.

I bought this duo last fall and I think it's a gorgeous combo for fall/winter months. 

BAM! How pretty, right?! 

The left shade is a rich light silvery beige/taupe and the right shade is beautiful shimmery 

plum. Both of these shades are so creamy, blend-able, and pigmented! 

The taupe shade works well on most every skintone. The purple could be a tad dark 

for really light skin, but can also be blended out. 

They both apply really well and have great staying power through the day... especially if you 

use a primer. 

This duo retails at drugstores for around $8. 

The back of product opens up where a applicator is stored which is nice for on the 

go application. 

Have a great day!
