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? 

Face of the Day

It's been a while since I did a FOTD post, so thought I would give it a shot! 

I recently blogged about some Revlon products I bought and thought I would incorporate 

them into a FOTD so you can see how they look. 

Two of these products, Revlon colorstay quad in Decadent and Revlon colorburst

gloss in Rosepearl have been some of my faves lately. Especially the gloss!! It's the most

gorgeous rose/pearl shimmery gloss that is perfect for fall. It's neutral, but yet gives a pretty 

brown/rose pop of color. Love, love, love! 

My Face. : )

Products used on eyes were Revlon Decadent Quad. 

This quad is such a gorgeous soft neutral pink/gold color. It's soft, 

feminine, and will look great with any blush or lip shade you want to throw on with it. 

These quads are great b/c there are so many different ways you can wear them. Love 

the gold (far right) and Cranberry (bottom right). 

Great pigment and long lasting. Retails for around $7 at drugstore! 

This Revlon colorburst gloss in Soft Rose has been a staple in my 

make up looks this fall. Of course this color can be used anytime of the year b/c it's 

so neutral, but man oh man it is so pretty on! It's got a shimmer and pearl finish that just 

makes your lips look so healthy, sexy, and yummy! 

I wish I had big plump lips, but I shall keep wishing. 

This gloss also retails for around $7, but Revlon often has a Bogo special. 

Other products used for this look:

Foundation: Clinique Even Better (loving)

Bronzer: NARS Laguna (fave)

Blush: Rimmel Autumn Catwalk

Mascara: Almay Get up and Grow (great)

Product of the Day- Blush

Today I thought I would share a new blush that I have been using and if you are in 

the market for a new VERY affordable blush this may interest you. 

Rimmel "Autumn Catwalk" is a peachy pink blush with three different shades of

pink and when mixed together gives off a gorgeous color. Because of the various shades

from light to dark you can customize the color you want based on your skintone. 

 It has slight shimmer, but not glittery

at all so gives a nice glow. 

The blush is actually marketed as a blush/highlighter because the very lightest shade 

on far left can be used to highlight your cheekbones. I don't find that it works that well, but 

if you have really light skin you may get a better result.

For a drugstore blush retailing for under $5 this is a great staple blush with good color 

and pigmentation. And how cute is the name?! I want to use it more during this time of the 

year just because it has such a fun fall name. 

Would you buy this blush?
