Product Reviews

I've recently discovered a few different products that I have seriously fallen in love with and have become a part of my daily make-up routine. Today, I'm going to share these wonderful products with you.

 Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse 
Say "HELLO!" to your most flawless face yet! This mousse foundation is probably one of the best drug store foundations I have found on the market. No need for any make-up brushes to apply it. Scoop up the foundation with your finger and smooth on your face. It's super blendable and I can imagine how awesome this could be for contouring. It sells for less than $10 per jar, however, I found mine on clearance at Kroger for $2.99. Talk about a total score!!!

 Maybelline - Dream Bouncy blush 
I have fallen madly in love with the "pink plum" shade of this incredible blush. It has a very strange texture when you first touch it. It almost feels like mushy lipstick. Instead of scooping this blush, simply move your finger in a circular motion then smooth on your cheeks. I use this along with the MAC blush I discussed in THIS blog post. I put the Maybelline blush on the apples of my cheeks, blend out and then use a blush brush to put the MAC blush on my cheek bones.

 NYX Matte Lipstick
I picked this lipstick up for Halloween to complete my Minnie Mouse look. This shade is "Shocking Pink Rose Intense". Its basically a standard matte hot pink... only the worlds best lipstick shade of course. It stays pretty well and is highly pigmented. One swipe across each lip and you're done! No need for layers and layers. My only issue with this lipstick is how dry it feels. So, I just layer it with the lip gloss you will read about next.

Artistry Light up Lip Gloss

My brother so kindly sent me a 2 different shades of lip gloss from this company and 4 different eye shadows to sample. This lip gloss in the shade "Confetti" was my absolute favorite of everything he sent me. Not only is the lip gloss a high quality, the tube has its own mirror and light on it for perfect application no matter where you are! Aside from the light, my favorite part of the gloss was the fact that it wasn't sticky. I never wore lip gloss until I got this because most lip glosses are sticky and I loath that feeling. Lastly, this gloss gave my lips a nice minty, tingly feeling which I think is a nice quality. This gloss is $16.50 and worth every penny!! So, where do you get it?!
