Summer Essential! Mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint

Apr 042012

This is an instant tropical vacation in stick form. Mark Just Pinched Instant Tint Blush makes applying blush easy. No need for a brush, just push up the tube, apply, and blend with the fingers and you are done! This one is called Sunny.

The only downside of this blush is the smell. It has a very waxy smell to it, so be aware if you are very sensitive to scents and odors.

This is a great color for women of darker skin tones that want a flush of color instead of a heavily pigmented. I would also recommend Berry as well.

This blush tint retails for a very affordable $7 and you can purchase this by visiting meetmark.com or contacting your Mark/Avon Rep.

Must Have Beauty Products At Coachella

Mar 292012

Coachella, the annual music and arts festival, is right around the corner. This means you will be standing outside, exposed to the sun, and you may or may not be hot, sweaty, and exposed to the elements. You do not have time for heavy makeup and uncomfortable clothes. While I cannot help you with the fashion aspect, I can help you with the beauty. Ladies and gentlemen, my must haves beauty list for Coachella, and a list of the performers and schedule for Coachella 2012!

Sunscreen- This is by far the most important product that you should have on you at all times. Look for a sunscreen with UV-A and UV-B protection, with a SPF of 30 or higher. Believe it or not, my favorite sunscreen is a generic brand for under 5 bucks. Yeah you read it correctly, Equate Baby SPF 50. It gives UVA and UVB protection, SPF 50, absorbs and dries quick, and did I mention it was 5 bucks?

Tips- Apply about 30 minutes before going out and reapply about every two hours.

Tinted Lip Balm- You don’t have time for a dry matte lipstick all day, and you don’t want sticky lip gloss (yuck!) and lipstick just wont do. Tinted lip balms are the solution! Clinique ‘Chubby Stick’ Moisturizing Lip Color Balm gives the tint of a sheer lipstick with the sheen and moisture of a lip balm, in chubby pencil form.

Towelettes- Dirt (yuck!), sweat, and just the environmental gunk of the day will build up as the hours go by. Refresh your face! Garnier Nutri-Pure Detoxifying Wet Cleansing Towelettes will clean and detoxify your face with vitamins B5 and E and green tea extract and leave you with a clean slate (yanno, when it’s time to reapply your sunscreen).

Waterproof Mascara – With the heat and impending sweat, you have no time for racoon eyes. Let’s take a moment and thank MAC for Zoom Waterfast Lash! Curls, lengthens and repels moisture for 12 hours – while maintaining the soft, flexible, intense black drama Zoom is known for. Awesome right!

Nail Lacquer- Brighten up your toes and nails with this season’s hottest lacquers! Zoya Beach Collection features a wide range of crème finish laquers and Zoya Surf Collection features bright lacquers with subtle hints of shimmer.

MAC Love Cycle Swatches, Review, and EOTD

MAC Love Cycle is a mineralized eye shadow that comes from the Chen Man Collection. Generally speaking, I love mineralized eye shadows because of the better pigmentation that comes along with them. I honestly prefer MES over the regular eye shadows because pigmentation is never a question.

Check out my swatches and eye of the day!

Mar 242012

Milani recently added a few new products to their lineup and Milani Runway Eyes, Complementary #18 was one of those additions to the Runway Eyes Collection.

To be perfectly honest, the Runway eyes collection has always been hit or miss for me, because the pigmentation and sometimes be a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, I went into this review unbiased, and just said to myself ‘Since these are new, maybe they changed the pigmentation too’.
