Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Maybelline has come out with a foundation that is wonderful! I hate foundation that feels heavy on your face and with summer coming up that is the last thing we all need is to feel like we have heavy makeup on. I like to look natural and this foundation for sure lets the real you come through. Here is what Maybelline says about it:

I haven't tried the other products from the FIT line (concealer, pressed powder, blush) but if they are anything like the foundation, I won't be disappointed at all. The foundation is so creamy and it goes on very well. I really keep forgetting that I'm wearing anything at all! It blends into your skin with ease and I didn't use a sponge or anything, just my fingers. Removal is just as easy as application. It didn't take much either to cover my entire face so a little goes a long way. I'm #225 and that is a perfect FIT for me....what's your number?? :)

Prom Tutorial

Ok before anyone expects to see a video I want to apologize for not having one! I was trying to download the software that I need and for whatever reason I wasn't able to download it...SO I decided to do pictures yet again and yes with my phone camera :(. This time I used my daughter instead of me since it's a prom look. I found it appropriate to use someone in the prom age range (and we all know I'm not that). :) Without anymore waiting, here you go.... 2011 Prom look:

• Here is Shaylee's eye without any makeup or primer.

• I put NYX white primer all over her lid from the brow bone down to the lash line.

• For the eyeshadow I used Maybelline Charcoal Smokes Quad Palette. I added the brow bone color all over the lid and up to the brow bone and then the Lid color I patted on just the lid and blended that just barely into the brow bone color.

• Then I added the Crease color to the crease of her eye and blended that out and added the Outer Corner color to the outer corner and then a soft brown to tone down the greys from the 28 Palette Coastal Scents. 

• Once everything was blended I used L'Oreal Le Kohl Pencil in Carbon Black (this is perfect for blending and creating a smokey eye) and also Too Faced Stiletto eyeshadow to seal everything, filled in her eyebrows with a brown eyeliner and then finished with L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara.

• Here are a couple pictures of the eyes up close and one in the sun light

• And here is the total look after pinkish peachy blush and soft pink lips :)

I hope everybody enjoys this tutorial! It's super easy because the colors in the Maybelline palette are titled LID, CREASE, etc and you just follow that. I added a few extra things to tone down the colors since I was working on a teenager. I didn't want anything to overpower her natural beauty or make her look like anything but herself with just a touch of something extra :)

Here is a picture of the shadow quad I used and you can see where it's marked which one to use. The colors can be much deeper so it's great for the older person too. I just kept it light for obvious reasons. The shimmer in this palette is so pretty too! It's more shimmer than matte for sure.

Here is a list of everything that I used today

• Revlon PhotoReady Foundation
• Palladio Rice Powder
• Revlon ColorStay Mineral Finishing Powder in 010 Brighten
• Rimmel 005 Pure lip liner
• BH Cosmetics for the blush and lip gloss
• Along with everything else I listed on this post

Let me know what you think! I'd love to get feedback on how I'm doing :)

Be Blessed Always

CLear lip liner what??

I was quite hesitant about purchasing this lip liner because in my head I'm thinking "You are a moron for getting yourself suckered into buying CLEAR lip liner". But man am I glad I didn't listen to myself (yet again). This is the best thing that Maybelline could have come up with going into Spring/Summer. Out with the matte deep colors and in with the shiny pretty lip glosses right??? I love love love my lip glosses but on some of them they bleed :( or the lip liner is too stark for the gloss until now! Now you only need one lip liner and you can wear many different lip glosses and it will always match. The color doesn't bleed, it lasts longer, and there is no making a mistake with application for sure. :) I've included a link to Maybelline's website so you can see the product. This retails for about $6 around here but always check Amazon for better deals. I hear it's anywhere from $5-$9 across the US. You can buy it at pretty much any larger change store (Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, CVS, etc) so run out and get yours. I think it's a must have for Spring, especially if you love wearing lip gloss. It's very smooth and easy to apply. There is no smell to it and it doesn't take much at all so it will last forever. I'm hooked on this lip liner. If you have it or get it, let me know what you think about it. I'm always interested in what you think. :)
