Hellooo babies :) *
xoxo's*
Soooo, I came down with the sniffles & a head cold yesterday, (thanks mother nature), & sad to say meds didn't help much. It's been one of 'THOSE WEEKS' when you can't seem to find that OFF switch that works your mind & emotions, (that too I can blame on mother nature), and anyone who is in the tri-state area can see what a shitty day she has blessed us with, forecast wise. So boom - I have a slight cold, I'm a bit 'aggy' & the weather sucks..all the while I'm at work with minimal work to do seeing how the honchos have sympathy on my tad bit exaggerated symptoms :). I deleted Twitter - Myspace vamoosed - Facebook is weak, I've already been fall shopping online all week. Checked my favorite blogs, read the Daily News & browsed CNN over breakfast..now what?
Going through my cosmetic bag for my fave Bobby Brown Creamy Lip Color 'Nectar' ;) I realize I need a SERIOUS re-up on makeup. Despite what some close to me may thinkkk *jen/leen* I really DON'T love makeup! I'm actually always indecisive about makeup & end up having tons of junk I don't use...Soo, I decided to actually hit up some makeup blogs & see what's new & worth a good buy.
I went on over to the much raved about makeup artist,
Mario Dedivanovic's blog & Sephora.com..googled some items sites to search REAL customer reviews, went to
Sephora after lunch & got sold on 3 products that I HIGHLY
recommend after testing myself:
Every woman who applies makeup on a daily basis KNOWS facial moisturizing is the Fountain of Youth & helps keeps your skin nourished even after heavy application of products. Day & night is a MUST! This product is by
Bare Escentuals: RareMinerals Purely Nourishing Facial Moisturizer (retail: $32). It's clinically proven to optimize your skin's ability to absorb and retain moisture for plumper, firmer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. It also uses a unique electrolyte delivery system in combination with an exotic Resurrection Plant Extract to deeply nourish and hydrate your skin. Rich, yet lightweight and provides an optimal level of moisture, minus the greasy, heavy feel.
My new FAVE, dubbed the "
Ace of Face".
Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup, (retail: $45). Dior takes mineral makeup to a whole new level with this blend of 100% natural mineral pigments and active
mineralized water. It delivers flawless, glowing results that actually improve your skin over time. Never
cakey, creamy &
beneficial..In Lust!
Last but certainly not least, Dior Hydrating Concealer! (retail: $28) If you know me, you know I have this self consciousness of dark circles - their hereditary and unfortunately my fathers side of the family looks sleep deprived for ages!! I've tried many manyy concealers and was never satisfied like I was with this product, not since M.A.C Select Cover Up and Dior surely knocked that one out the box! It's very creamy, which I obsess over, blends well with foundations for a seamless look and most importantly, LASTS with very little application giving you your moneys worth.
Go to your local Bloomingdales, Sephora, Nordstrom etc & get you some! I can't wait to test these products out when painting the city red with the girls ;)
Have a blessed one y'all!
XOXO
