Bottom to top (for reference I fall in between MAC NC 20-35) Polite society pencil/lip liner Polite society lippie Juju rouge pencil/lip liner Juju rouge lippie Bumble liquid lipstick Kae liquid lipstick Lumiere 2 liquid lipstick  Polite Society Pencil/Lip Liner by itself Pulls peachy nude on me with a hint of rose undertone.  From the website and instagram swatches I've seen I was hoping it more to be a rose toned nude but the peach in it kind of works for me. I really like this lip pencil overall. Color pay off is smooth and nice. Polite Society Lippie Stick by itself It looks lighter to me than the lip pencil and just seems peachy nude but more peach no other undertones.  Unlike the pencil this has no trace of blush/rose tone to it just peach. Some may like it but I was not feeling it on me. Lippie stix quality is very good color aside, described as matte but to me more of a creamy matte. Polite Society lip pencil+lippie...

Really make highlight pop

Image
I'm For my highlight to really pop I spray my small fan brush with my Mario badescu rose spray if you have setting spray you can also use that or any facial spray that has glycerin same concept when spraying the brush for eyeshadows to be more pigmented it's so cheap at Ulta only $7 I believe  So spray my brush then dip brush in my becca opal highlight! I'm sure you can try it with any other highlight 😀

Lime Crime Salem Dupe for $.99 Jordana Lip Pencils (chocolate lips)

Image
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...

Milani Conceal + Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation Review

Image
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....

SKINCARE-Stop Using Witch Hazel! and Eye cream is not necessary?

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...
