I've been in a coral crush lately and my makeup can stand up for that. Every time I see a coral makeup product, I get this sudden urge to purchase it. Coral has become such a spring/summer fashion and beauty statement. There's a great range as to how deep or soft you want coral to be. Well, I've been mixing the colors coral and peach and have created a soft, daytime look that's very easy.
I have a video posted on my YouTube channel for steps to re-create this look. Items I used are listed below.
- Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream (light/medium)
- MAC Oil Control Lotion
- NARS Sheer Glow Foundation (Stromboli)
- Maybelline Erase Dark Circles (medium)
- Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
- CK One Brow + Gel Duo (400 Crafty Raven)
- UD Naked Palette (Naked, Buck)
- UD 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil (Sin)
- UD Single Eyeshadows (Freelove, Secret Service)
- Tarte Multipleye Liquid Eyeliner
- Maybelline One by One mascara
- Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara
- Benefit Hoola bronzer
- MAC blush (Peaches)
- Mary Kay True Dimension Lipstick (Color Me Coral)
- Bobbi Brown lipgloss (pink lemonade)
Enjoy the video and this beautiful weather we've been having!
Below is a list of my favorite items that I've been using on a daily basis and/or have been helping me look awesome when I step out of my house. You can also see me rant about these items on my YouTube channel.
- Clarisonic Mia with Deep Pore brush head : This is a great at-home cleansing device that cleans deep into your pores and removes all dirt, oil and makeup. It leaves your face feeling smooth and refresh. With this particular brush head, it has helped remove all my blackheads on my nose and reduce the size of my pores.
- Clean & Clear Finishes Pore Perfecting Moisturizer : This is very similar to benefit POREfessional (if you use this). This softens the appearance of pores with light-diffusing minerals to give you a beautiful finish. It's lightweight, oil-free and has SPF 15.
- Jouer Matte Moisture in Hazel: Absolute favorite of this month! This foundation is lightweight, medium coverage and evens out imperfections leaving your skin with a smooth, matte finish. This is perfect for all skin types with SPF 15 protection from UVA and UVB rays while Vitamins A, C and E deliver rich antioxidants to the skin.
- Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer in Medium: Best under eye concealer by far! The smooth, easy-to-use applicator gently spreads the product evenly under your eye and instantly erases dark circles and fine lines leaving your eyes looking radiant.
- Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Pink Bellini: This is part of the Bobbi Brown Instant Pretty Collection at QVC. I believe this is exclusively sold only at QVC unless you eBay it. The shade is a neutral, light pink with a lilac shimmer.
- Maybelline Volum' Express One By One Mascara in Blackest Black: This mascara de-clumps every lash and coats each one from root to tip giving you the volume that you want.
- Mary Kay Satin Lips Set: This exclusive lip duo from Mary Kay is a god-send for those who have dry, cracked lips or for those who like to pick or bite your lips. The two-step system gently exfoliates dead surface skin cells and moisturizes lips for at least 6 hours. I use these items at night and in the morning, my lips are still moisturized.
- Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie: This lipstick is a butter balm with beautiful shine and gives you soft, smooth and hydrated lips.
Hey friends! It's been a while since I've posted something but here I am. If you follow me on YouTube, I did a Haul video of a few products I've purchased online. I finally opened one of my purchases and tested the products to make sure it was worth every penny.
The Bobbi Brown Instant Pretty Collection was last month's QVC Today's Special Value (TSV). This kit comes with 7 products including a full size face palette that comes in 5 different shades. Before I purchased this, the only Bobbi Brown item I owned was the long-wear gel eyeliner in black ink. This was my first gel eyeliner which I was really (still am) happy with. I wasn't sure what new Bobbi Brown product I wanted to get my hands on. Luckily, I was watching QVC that day and voila! I placed an order before the shade I ordered sold out.
The summer has been about "au naturale" and this kit delivers. The natural colors in this kit goes well with any complexion where the end result looks effortless. Your look is pretty hands on as the kit does not come with makeup brushes. In the face palette, the foundation, concealer and corrector are creamy so your fingers are your best tools. When you apply the corrector and concealer, you immediately see your eyes brighten and the dark circles and fine lines fade away. The mascara is very lengthening after applying 2 coats. The 2 lip glosses compliment each other and are great shades all year round. To complete my eyes, I applied my gel eyeliner and NYX false eyelashes.
After wearing this look for a few hours, I'm happy with the overall look. It was worth every penny! The shade I purchased is natural which turns out to be too light for the summer. Other than that, this kit can still be purchased on the QVC website. Let me know if you like my look.
Look, @BobbiBrown retweeted me! Cloud 9 :)
Side Note: I've been watching Team USA at the Olympics like a hawk. Really excited to see more action from men/women basketball team, men/women beach volleyball, women volleyball and women soccer. Go #TeamUSA!
