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!
