The perfect illuminator's...SMASHBOX Artifical Light Luminizing Lotion

(I used FLASH all over my face and Glow on my cheeks/forehead/temples :)

I also used my new favorite lipgloss- Bambi by Buxom Lips!)

I'm in love.... with Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion that is. I've been looking for a product to give me a healthy natural looking glow....this product doesn't disappoint! It adds the most amazing radiance to your skin. It's not disco ball shimmery either. It's just perfect.
How you can use this product is either mix it with your foundation or moisturizer is give your face an all over glow but if that's not what you want then you can add a few drops to the bridge of your nose, cupids bow on your lips, and on your cheek bones to give a nice highlight.
I got the colors Flash and Glow. Flash is perfect to add with your foundation. It's a light champagne color and gives the right amount of dewyness to your skin. The color Glow can be used more as a bronzer highlight. It looks AMAZING on your cheeks, forehead and temples.

Also, as you can see from the pictures this product is a liquid illuminator... it it can be kinda watery but it's worth it. Just use ONE pump and you are good to go!

This products is everything I've been looking for and more. It's only $24! Other products like this I looked at were $40 and up! You only need a teeny tiny bit so this product will last you forever!!

Have you tried this yet??

I know this GLOW looks scary dark but seriously it isn't in person.

Make Up Forever HD Foundation

After months and months of searching for that perfect foundation...I finally found it. It wasn't an easy road to find it though. I had to deal with break outs, wrong colors, strange textures and weird smells. Then one fine day I gave this a chance and it was a match made in heaven.

Let me count the ways that I love thee....

This foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation. Normally I wouldn't go for a full coverage foundation because I hate the mask/cakey look that can come with that. This covers beautifully yet you still look like you and you can see your skin (minus the redness or discoloration). Out of all the foundations I've ever tried this photographs a-m-a-z-i-n-g.... you seriously glow. It's really hard to go wrong finding the right color seeing as they have 25 colors from the lightest to the darkest and everything in between. I'm using the color 120 and I love it.

This foundation will last you a long time because you only need a pump and half to cover your whole face....a little goes a long way. I like to apply this foundation with my fingers... I found I get the most natural look when I apply it this way.

It's $40 from Sephora.

This is what Sephora says about it and it could not be put or described better:

"It creates a soft-focus effect, designed to meet the coverage concerns of those in the spotlight. It creates a complexion that looks flawless, even in bright or harsh lighting."

I'm in love and I'm never turning back!:)

I also adore their Concealer Palette #1.... more to come on that...

Revlon ColorStay...oh how you've impressed me!!

I haven't gotten drug store foundation in years... actually, I honestly haven't worn foundation until this year. I use Bare Minerals daily but I'm getting older. LOL Well, I'm only 25 but I'm noticing I some days need just a little more coverage and more of a finished look. I've been reaalllyy wanting to try the Make Up Forever HD Foundation but it's $40 and I need to be spending money on others this season and not myself!:) I've heard good and bad things about the MUFE so the bad things have kinda made me hesitant about getting it.
I heard that the Revlon ColorStay is a close dupe. I got it last night and I'm seriously impressed. I like it wayyy better than my MAC Studio fix for sure. The Revlon feels so smooth and light on my skin and no nasty scent like the MAC. The coverage is great without looking cakey. It was $10! Can't beat that!!
I got my color in 180 Sand Beige... and it's the perfect color for me... it's just a little darker than NW20...and that's perfect because the NW20 was just a little too light for me so this color is perfection!!
