Look Sun Kissed Year Round!

No creative title for this one...Well, I thought about saying, "It's blaming outside" but then I was like ehh, lets just get into this post!

I have been switching up some of my products with my normal make up routine.  I usually use Benefit Hoola bronzer, which I love, to contour my face, but I recently went back to using Bahama Mama by the Balm.

I have used this product before and I don't know why I switched.  Probably just to get something different in my life.  This is an amazing product for contouring! The color is a rich brown color with out much read so it gives you a deep contour.  This is suuuupppeeerrrr pigmented so a little goes a long way.  I noticed over the past few weeks since I started using it again, my face looks like I just came back from a tropical island with an amazing tan (hence the Bahama Mama Name!).  The structure of my face after I contour with this color is georg too!

This brand tends to be on Hautelook a lot, and that is where I first purchased products.  I heard a lot of talk about them via Youtube and I finally tired Bahama Mama and Mary Lou-Manizer, a beautiful high lighter.

Mary-Lou Manizer is a shimmery champagne color.  If I am not using this on my cheekbones, then I put this right under my brow bone.  It's the perfect hint of color that catches the light and keeps your face glowing.

I really love these two products.  I have branched out to purchase more items, but I have their liquid liner, Swing, on my list and a bunch of their eye shadows.  They have really great pallets.

I love their packaging too! It's so cute.

Check out their sale this friday on Hautelook!  Trust me, I will remind you on Thursday!!!!!

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!
