C-THRU MY EYES

The other day I decided to do something I never do…

BUY MAKEUP FROM A CONVENIENCE STORE THAT I COULND’T TRY ON!!! (I always love to try my makeup on before hand & wear it outside in natural lighting  before I decide to purchase it)

Anyway… I bought Revlon Photo Ready because I THOUGHT a friend told me to get that. Apparently she listed a different type of Revlon foundation, but I found that out after I bought the Photo Ready Foundation. I got it in caramel, which almost matches my skin color, maybe me in the winter, but not me with a tan.

Needless to say I tried the caramel Photo Ready Foundation & wasn’t a fan. It was smooth, but the finish has these micro reflective sparkles (I don’t even know what to call them). I guess to make your skin luminious, but I do not like it!! It was a weird finish, I could see the shine on my hands & I got oily faster throughout the day. Maybe it would work for someone who has dry skin, but it’s not for us oily skinned folks!

I will try another Revlon foundation in the future & tell you all what I find. This just wasn’t the one I liked. For now I’ll stick to my Bobbi Brown for everyday foundation & concealer if I need it – they have amazing skin products!

Here we go with price range. I decided to do a lipgloss one cause I’m a lipgloss junkie!!

Revlon, MAC, YSL

Overall, I’m obsessed with MAC lipgloss & lipstick. Let me know if you guys have tried any great lipglosses that I can make a post about

LINE LOWER RIM OF EYE WITH A WHITE LINER TO BRIGHTEN EYES & MAKE THEM APPEAR LARGER!

1. Use a liner that draws on easily

2. Try MAC Eye Kohl Liner in Fascinating $14.50

3. Try Makeup Forever Kohl Pencil in Matte White 2K $17

4. Try whatever brand you want – Covergirl, Bobbi Brown, Revlon, etc.

4. Use a nude colored liner for a less retro look.

5. Be delicate with the liner…too much white can leave you looking a little scary. Play around with it!

6. Recessionista: Use a white eyeshadow you have, wet a thin eyeliner brush and paint on your makeshift eyeliner!
