Happy weekend to you! Remember the giveaways I mentioned earlier this week in honor of my brand spanking new BBN membership? Well, here’s the first one for ya!
Up for grabs is an iLuminess premiere airbrush makeup system. One lucky winner will soon be able to achieve flawless and professional makeup application results in the comfort of their own home.
This kit retails for $230 and all you’ve gotta do is enter below. If you follow me on Twitter, re-tweets count for an entry also!
What goes around comes around, when it comes to make up trends that is.
I might be a little late to join the blue mascaraband wagon the second time around, but better late than never, right?! Since summer is finally here, it’s the perfect time to experiment with fun colors. However, the old blue hue I had in my makeup stash just wasn’t working out so we had to part ways.
Sooo…I ditched that zero and moved on to a pretty little number by Kat Von D’s make up collection – the High Frequency Mascara in the Techno shade of blue.
My first time with this mascara was love at first swipe! Not only is the color electric and vibrant, but the wand separates and lifts. This color looks gorgeousand my lashes literally look like they are on cloud nine.
Techno, you might end up being more than just a summer fling…
I study and practice makeup techniques from different YouTube channels, and when my boyfriend asked me what I wanted for my birthday recently I quickly replied, makeup brushes!
I have limited knowledge the makeup tools needed to achieve a professional look, so I reached out to a sales rep at Sephora. She asked me my price range (not too cheap but not too expensive) and quickly shuffled me over to the Sephora I.T. brand of brushes…
Not too long ago I was fortunate enough to attend the launch for Carmindy’s new book Crazy Busy Beautiful. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past seven years, Carmindy is the makeup artist extraordinaire on TLC’s makeover series What Not To Wear. The launch event was loads of fun and I got to hang out with some top-notch beauty bloggers.
Not only is Carmindy a doll, her book is the perfect companion for beauty novices and veterans alike. It’s a quick and low-key read that even I learned some good stuff from…
Not too long ago, I had the fab opportunity to check out the spring products that Rimmel London brought across the pond for us to enjoy. At the event, we not only got to check out the products, but we got to meet the Rimmel 10, a bunch of unique, stylish and everyday chicas that Rimmel selected as part of their new marketing campaign.
These ten ladies were given the (fun!) task of bringing the London Look of Rimmel Cosmeticsto the US. Each of the ten were assigned a product, given oodles of makeup (to share with friends, of course) and given all kinds of fun makeup challenges, like going a day without makeup to get a fresh perspective on their relationships to cosmetics.
From glosses to nail polish to blush, this stuff is mega-budget friendly. Everything retails for under $8 (and many under $5), so you can definitely achieve a great look for cheap. My favorite product is the fantastically bold Glam’Eyes Mono Eye Shadow ($3.49) the pigment and texture of this product is really outstanding especially given the price tag. I’m in love with the bold Posh Peacock shade (pictured) and I’ve been using it to add pop to the outer edges of my standard issue jet-black winged eye liner look. Also, the Spicy Bronze shade is a nice punchy bronze that works really well as part of my daytime look.
Grad school is frying my brain, I swear, but that’s another series of posts altogether…
Anyhoo –L’Oreal’s fantastic HIP (High Intensity Pigments) line always does a great job of making department store-style cosmetics available at drugstore prices…
A for effort, L’Oreal!
Hey Beauties,
