My Current 5 Makeup Favorites
2:23 PM
Hola Bellas,
Remember when I told you I was having a little bout of writers block?? I kinda found a cure!!! While I was researching and trying to figure out how to get over my current situation, I found a list of over 100 things to write about...trust me to get started right away!!!
I decided to share my top 5 current favorite makeup/beauty products. This was kinda easy as I've been reaching for these products ever do often in the past few weeks. My top 5 picks are;
I got the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser during my last trip and heard about it through a friend, I decided to get it just to try it out and I'm quite impressed, it doesn't do anything to remove oils but rapidly diminishes fine lines and pores do if you have oily skin and are thinking of getting this please use side by side No.7 Beautifully Matte Makeup Base
I promised I wasn't going to spend a dime on makeup palettes this year, but I had gotten the L.A.Girl Beauty Brick before I made this decision, I was drawn to the vibrant colors in the palette especially the fuchsia and purple shades. The palette contains 12 shimmery colors and as the name implies it's not for the faint hearted. I must say the pigmentation is not as amazing as I thought it was gonna be, which is what makes it a wearable every-day palette,
If you follow the looks I put up on my blog, you'll notice that I live and breathe by the Jordana Color Envy Liquid Eyeliner, this liner just gets me---be it using it on myself or on clients---it's my all time, ready steady liquid liner everyday. The liner is super matte and is quick to dry. I know some folks don't get the brush tip, but for me that makes it easier to control.
This is my second tube of the L. A Girl Glazed Lip Paint in Peony, the lip paints are super pigmented and have a slightly minty flavor/fragrance to it. I love the shade Peony cos when mixed with my Kiko Milan 900 lipstick, it's the perfect nude for me. I also wear it alone and has featured in a couple of recently looks on my blog.
Every time I walk into a MAC shop, I always forget to pick up the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, and most times I don't remember until I'm home - - - blame it on the MAC lipsticks, too many lovely shades!!! I finally got this one as a gift when my friend and birthday mate was coming back to Nigeria and I kept drumming that he just had to get it.....and he did. I use this right before I apply NYX Jumbo Pencil on the lid...it helps the prime stay on longer. It can also be used as a primer on its own.
There you have it, the first edition of my 5 current favorite makeup products, I figure I should be able to keep this up as I'm always switching up products I use of clients and myself.
Have you used any of these products/brands, what do you think of them, also share below your current beauty favorites...
Muchos love,
