Lipstick Mixtapes My favorite makeup things review…

Monday, March 5th, 2012

I love trying  new products just like any girl or makeup artist, and lately I’ve gotten my hands on products that I really like a lot. Now normally I don’t do product reviews but many of you  have been sending  emails asking what are some of my fav products that I use  in my makeup kit and on my face. Well I have lots of favorites so I’m going to break this up for you in a  two part post, one for my personal favorites s and the other my makeup kit favs.

Here’s a breakdown of what I love using  most on me and why…

My foundation is my 1st Makeup fav I want to tell you about. I have been using Luxx Perfect Finish Foundation for about 2 years now, and I can’t go anywhere without it. It matches my skin PERFECTLY! no ash,not to red and the finish is medium matte coverage that looks natural and never cakey on my face.  I used to break out a lot from other foundations but this one doesn’t cause acne breakouts and that makes me so happy and satisfied. The price is 19.50

Next is my hair products,  many people don’t know this but I am a NATURAL girl haven’t had a relaxer in almost 4 years YAY! It  get’s really hard sometimes but I’ve learned how to work with my hair, for the most part I wear it slicked back in a ponytail, it’s easy and chic, or I’ll wear a sew-in done by one of my  2 fab hairstylist!

One thing I’ve learned with natural hair is that it has to stay moisturized or it will split, break, and pop  off like nobody’s business, so to keep my tresses moisturized I use Miss Jessie’s Baby Butter Creme. It smells delicious and it’s not thick, it really is soft buttery texture that absorbs into the hair quick and doesn’t feel greasy. It comes in 3 different sizes this one is 32.00 kind of pricey but you don’t need a lot so it will last.

 Lastly is Visionnaire  Skin Corrector by  Lancome. I use this every single day, makeup, no makeup. It makes my skin feel really smooth and silky. I love the smell, it’s not as strong as some of Lancome’s other products, it’s a light fragrance which is nice. my skin feels and looks better, I think it has a more youthful look, I had a few tiny lines around my mouth but now that area is actually smooth. Great looking skin definitely starts with skincare and this is one I proudly recommend. Now put your seat belt on because this is not cheap, at 84.00 dollars this is a SPLURGE, but if it’s 2 things I don’t mind spending money on is my skin and great bed pillows, but that’s another post lol!

Makeup Bag Makeover!

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

Scenario:

Your reaching into your super cute handbag that you got as a  Christmas present looking  for your itty bitty dirty makeup bag!  Yes I said it “dirty” .You won’t believe how many times a chick will reach into her banging Gucci, Louis Vuitton,  Chanel  (real or fake) and pull out this horrible and disgusting looking makeup bag and I’m like really you can’t buy a 10 dollar makeup bag and throw that mess in the trash. It’ss been dropped 10 times, so powder is all over it and you’ve got nerve enough to say I’ve had this thing forever, YES, I can tell you need to buy a new one and quit squishing up your powder brush inside of it, talking about it doesn’t “work” anymore I bet, it  looks like it’s been caught in the zipper 5,000 times. Ladies you got to do better when it comes to taking care of your makeup and accessories. These things say a lot about you and and believe me people do look when they see you at a club or restaurant and please don’t pull that dirty thing out at the table! Check please! Sorry I’m ranting so hard but I wouldn’t speak on it if I wasn’t seeing it, so go to Sally’s beauty supply  or Betsey Johnson they have some really cute and affordable makeup bags  preferably in a dark color to camouflage the nastiness and if you don’t want to spend the cash  you can always toss it in the washing machine!
