Bye Bye Tired Eyes!

Today I was looking at myself in the mirror after I got all ready.  My mom bought me a new maxi skirt that I am just obsessed with! It's orange, red and black aztec print! I wore it to work today with a simple black tank.  Even though I couldn't stop looking at how awesome this skirt is, i noticed that my face looked nice and bright, but yet I did my make up in like 10 mins. today!

What gives you ask?! Well I have been using a new concealer combination and it's totally doing the trick and making me look brighter and more awake!

I have been using NYX HD concealer in CW01 and CW04.  I tried CW01 on its own and it was just too pale, then the next two colors had too much pink in them.  Even though I usually like to put a warmer color under my eyes, this just looked funny on my skin.  Well, I had CW04 in my make up drawer, so I deiced to put that on first and then put the CW01 on top of it and then I blended them all out with my new pointed kabuki brush from Bh Cosmetics' 10 pc sculpt and blend set.  It's the perfect color for me!!! It's light enough to give a great highlighting effect, but the coverage of the concealer is really great so it makes my skin look extra flawless! the best part is, this concealer is only $5, but I usually end up buying them at Ulta for buy one get one 50% off or on sale for about $3 each!

I would compare these concealers to the Make Up Forever HD concealer which is around $29 for one! They are a liquid product and in my opinion that medium is easiest to blend.  I don't seem to see any caking or separation through out the day.  Also, these concealers are going to photograph well since they are HD! There won't be any crazy flash back with these bad boys, so highlight away!!

I have a darker color, one about 4 shades darker then my skin tone.  This weekend I am going to test that out for contouring and see how it all looks! I am sure it will b amazing!

Let me know if you try these products and what you think about them!

Have a great day, beauty queens!

Bh Cosmetics Bronze and Glow Steal

Last night I cam across a deal that Bh Cosmetics is doing.  Bh is running a Christmas in July deal right now and you can get a bunch of different packages for 50% off.  I just bought the Bronze and Glow Steal deal! It is their powdered highlight/contour and blush ballet along with their 10 piece sculpt and blend brush set.

These brushes are really great when using creams and liquids since they are a synthetic line of brushes.  The tapered kabuki brush in this set is amazing for applying concealer and the flat top kabuki is awesome for blending out foundation or getting that perfect contour and highlight blend with creams!

I actually already have a set of these brushes, but this is such a steal of a deal that I bought another set, plus you get the contouring pallet for free! Which by the way has a nice yellow shade in in, perfect for setting your highlight under your eyes! The color is similar to the Ben Nye banana Powder.  This kit is a great starter kit for anyone looking to have good quality brushes and a all in one pallet for contouring!

You should hurry and check it out because the offer is only for a limited time and it is over 50% sold out.  They also have free shipping on orders $50 or more, so take a look on other products through out the site!

I might have one more post about a sale tomorrow and then I promise I will get back to technique and product reviews!

Stay beautiful, beauty queens!

Be The Beauty On A Budget: BH Cosmetics

I love all make up, drug store and high end! Of course I feel super fancy when I say I have a Dior lipstick or I wear Dolce and Gabbana Foundation, but the reality is, I'm balling on a budget and I can't have too many "High End" products....but then how do I get my make up fix?!

There are sooo many great products out there that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg on! First off, I am a big drug store make up fan and you can really hit the jackpot on sales and coupons! The other day I stopped a lady in Wegmans who was looking at the NYX section (it's new to Wegmans) and I just gushed on how amazing it was and affordable.  I went on and on and on.  My boyfriend was like, "um you said we were just coming in for beer and I find you in the make up isle making a friend" What can I say, it's a gift and a curse!

When it comes to eye shadows I have never been one to wear neutrals too much.  For the longest time I wore the color "Fishnet" but urban decay every day! But a lot of times I don't have the money to spend on $50 pallets or $20 single shadows.

Enter BH Cosmetics.  BH cosmetics is a brand that sells great products with great pigment for a ridiculously cheap price.  Since I don't wear many neutrals I never owned a erown eye shadow until about a year ago.  I wanted to go out and buy so many brown shadows from MAC, Urban Decay and Bobbi Brown, but I would  have went broke.  I went to BHcosmetics.com  and went crazy and spent a quarter of what I would have spent in Sephora and got A TON OF SHADOWS!

BH has an amazing 28 Shadow Neutral Eye Palette.  It has every color that you would like and it is mostly matte shadows.  It is super hard to find matte shadow palette, especially with this many colors.  It is only $18.95 and you get 28 full sized shadows!

They also came out with BRAND NEW pallet called Eyes On The 70's.  It's a great mix of bright colors for summer with some smokey colors to help turn your day time looks into night time looks.  This palette is only $9.95!

They are also having a killer brush sale for 70% off brushes! I strongly recommend their 10 pc. Eco Brush Set for only $10.95.
