One thing you've learned about me by now is that I spend a mint on makeup, as well as clothing *ahem*, but that's nothing to be too proud about. Except during times like this...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, blogger's first ever, FFB Awards!
First up, is the arena of LIP GLOSS. The winner is-
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush: Slice of Heaven
It's not so bright it scares people- it's not a blah classic colour, and just as it's name suggests, takes heavenly.
LIPPETY-STICK: i have to hand it to MAC, their Vegas Volt is insanely bright and very, very flattering. I like to smear it on thick, then blot before going out. MUAH!
MAKEUP: This was a difficult one for me. You see, I wear two different makeups for spring/summer and fall/winter. First up is Maybelline's Mineral Power Foundation Makeup in Medium 2- it is the perfect sun kissed and silky finish you can find for such a reasonable price- not to mention going through that much makeup in the summer can be expensive. For fall/winter I adore Armani luminous silk foundation in 5, it gives your skin a smooth appearance, is long lasting, not to mention it feels light and airy on!
BLUSH: Okay, okay, so after all the hype, I finally purchased some- NARS powder blush in ORGASM. I love how it matches my coloring so well, and has a shimmer effect when you turn your head. If you prefer something without shimmer, I suggest you check out MAC's Pinch o' Peach.
EYESHADOW: Now this is where it gets tricky, sooo many colors- what's a girl to choose? My favorite all time eyeshadow color is MAC's Naked Lunch- it's a peachy skin tone with shimmer- if you're more radical, then I suggest the Rockstar palette by LORAC- you can't go wrong with that compact, there's a party inside!
MOISTURIZER: The best has to be by Garnier Fructis, it leaves your skin feeling light- not weighted down. At night, before I go to bed, I wash my face, put on some aloe vera gel, then this Garnier Fructis moisturizer, and then slather on something AnnaLynn McCord swears by: Aquaphor by Eucerin.
MASCARA: Bourjois Clubbing Mascara in Ultra Black. The wand is huge- and after several coats, people will stand in awe of your lashes. Once, a MAC artist asked me if those were my "real lashes?!" Which was my most favorite compliment ever- who doesn't want fake-looking real lashes?
I have plenty more products I'd like to share, but not as much time! I promise to have a better awards post next year- especially around Christmas- when all the really amazing glitter eyeliner's come out to play!
~Please e-mail me all of your favorite makeup products and tips- I'd love to hear YOUR feedback!~
