Jordana Lip Liner in Cider Jordana Lip Liner in Toast top: Cider bottom: Toast Credit to the owner  I have been searching for a good lip product that will give me that chocolate lips look and I have found it! Of course does not last like a liquid lipstick but when I slightly topped it off my NYX liquid suede in sandstorm it still gave me that result with a longer lasting power!  So if you own any light brown or nude or even a brown liquid lipstick don't be scared to apply a bit on top to make it last longer it works great! Don't be scared and experiment to get the color you want use it as a base it is creamy and it sets like the NYX lip liners!  Cider is more copper brown as toast is more of a mauve brown but similar on the lips. For less than a dollar you really can't go wrong with it. I bought mine at a beauty supply store called "Daisy's Beauty Supply" which I know is a chain to Texas Beauty Supply that...

skin background : 1. oily/combination with dry patches       2. acne prone sensitive                                        3. have some acne scarring both dark and a bit deep marks I came across this foundation while at my local grocery store (HEB if you live in TX you'll know) and it seemed new since I have loved Milani for a while for it being a decent brand and it is also cruelty free.  PRICE: $9.99  I have been religiously using BECCA ultimate complexion creme, full coverage and not matte and is made up 21 percent pure pigment and 22 percent water.  I have raved and labeled this foundation as my holy grail, and I still do but the $44 dollar price tag always gives me buyer's remorse at first.  I only buy the BECCA when I have my 20% off coupon at ULTA or racked up dollars on points so it won't hurt me as much....

Today I was researching toners to find the best one for me as I have recently found out that witch hazel is NOT good for the face. I also saw a famous youtuber's video on skincare (Chloe Morello: VIDEO HERE  )  and she said when she went to see her dermatologist she told her all this time thinking that her skin was oily it was dehydrated therefore producing more oil than needed!  I already knew that if the skin is dehydrated it produces more oil but i t just reminded me that MAYBE just maybe sometimes when I use my witch hazel toner my skin was dehydrated because it causes irritation.  My skin was not in hives but it's way of showing that it's getting irritated was probably being dry then producing a lot of oil. When I wake up I usually look like a complete grease ball now that I know better, it shouldn't be that way. Of course I just thought that was normal when you sleep.  Toner that seem to interest me is the  Derma E  Soothing Toner with Anti-Ag...

Now, let me show you the dupe that costs $1.98 from Aliexpress this is the seller I got it from after reading the reviews. It took about 3 weeks to get to me but for $1.98 FLAT without tax and free shipping that's not even something to complain about. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oval-Makeup-Tool-Cosmetic-Foundation-Cream-Powder-Blush-Makeup-Brush/32411121027.html The handle is obviously n...

Milani Supreme Kohl Kajal $5.99 I have tried numerous eyeliners to use as a tightline even gel liners but it's either they take a while to set that it smudges to my lower lash line or they smear later on on the outer corner of my eye. After this sets in seconds it sets it reminds me of the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner but sometimes that still even smudges on me or gets on my contacts this doesn't do that.

Kat Von D Contour Brush $36.00-Sephora image from makeupandbeauty.com Beauty Concepts Contour Brush $4.99-Marshalls     As you can see they are not the exact same thing but the feel, bristles and purpose are very similar.  They are both synthetic and cruelty free the angled side are very alike they are both not dense whatsoever and soft to the touch.  The dome side on the other hand is flat compared to the sharper version on the Kat Von D. I use the dome side for setting my undereye concealer and the angled for my contour and then to blend it out as well.  The dome side can also be used for blush if you prefer. So take a look at your Marshalls now they have so many other things like skincare and other beauty products for less.
