Breast Cancer Awareness!

How is it they find a way to support breast cancer foundations through makeup? They totally know how to get me! I love a good cause, and if it means I "have" to buy some makeup to help out.... Oh I guess I'll do it!! ;-) just kiddin'! But all kidding aside, I chose to buy a lip duo from Bobbi Brown to help out the cause! And maybe I wanted to try out some products of theirs too...

So here they are.... Bobbi Brown's lip duo includes Pink Lip Color, and Bellini High Shimmer Lipgloss. They are beautiful!! The lipstick is a fabulous, deep pink, with a more satin to matte finish, and the lipgloss has a beautiful light pink duochrome kind of base, with tons of shimmer! They wear soo very well together, and have a very comfortable feel to them! I am very happy about my purchase!! :-)

I think I'm going to try and wear as much pink lip looks as possible this month for Breast Cancer Awareness! It will be a fun little challenge, and I think it will remind me how blessed I am to not have this problem in my life. My heart goes out to those that have gone through, or who are going through this cancer!

Affordable highlighter!

I believe that products are to be used in whatever way works best, even if it's not used for the purpose it is marketed for! Which is why I love using this creme eyeshadow stick to highlight my cheeks!

Wet N Wild has creme eyeshadow sticks, and I have 130 Pixie. This is a nice frosty champagne color, and it creased out of control when I used it as creme shadow on my eyelids! But, since it didn't work on my eyes, I figured I'd make it work for something! And in my experimenting, I found that this is a perfect product for the cheekbones!

I apply it after my bronzer and blush is put on, right on top of my cheek bones. I focus more on the outer part of my cheek bones, not going farther in than below the center of my eye. I find that the frosty sheen adds a nice glow, and it lasts for hours! I got this product so long ago I don't remember the price, but it couldn't have been more than a few dollars! For beautiful cheekbones, check it out!

Yummy body spray!

I am a fan of smelling nice, as most people are, and recently discovered that I like trying body sprays from the drugstore to switch up my scent wardrobe! I don't own a lot of sprays at once, I tend to buy smaller sizes, so I use them up faster, and move onto a different scent! So the scent I most recently picked up, is from Body Fantasies, called Sugar Apple Fantasy.

This spray, has an amazing apple smell to it!! I actually found it interesting that I could smell apple that distinctly! It also does have a sweet tone to it, hence the 'sugar' part of the name. I just thought this was such a nice fall-type scent, and the best part, I got it for $1!! I could smell this stuff all day, and I might just have to pick up another one since it's so cheap!

So if you're in the mood for a new scent and don't want to spend a small fortune on a new perfume, I say check out what the drugstore has to offer... you never know!! Also, my WalMart and Kmart have more of a selection of perfumes these days, and you can usually get them in small sizes, making them affordable, and also making it fun to go through a bottle and move onto a new scent, just like with the body sprays! :-)

Great affordable eyeshadow primer!

Oh how I love a good affordable product that works!! I had heard of this product long before I ever tried it, because of my skepticism. I didn't even know about eyeshadow primers until a few years ago, and now I can't live without them! I do own some colored cream shadows that can act as primers, but as for a wonderful, affordable product that will work wonderfully, this is it!!

Palladio herbal eyeshadow primer! I picked up mine at Sally Beauty Supply, but it is available other places as well, such as Ulta, or online. This product comes in a lipgloss type tube with an applicator also like many lipglosses. It is a silicone-feeling product, very smooth and comfortable to put on. It's also colorless, so you don't need to worry about competing colors of eyeshadow.

It's really a wonderful product to have and use! Very easy, just sweep some across your eyelids and smooth out with your ring finger. I usually put it from my lash time and blend up through the crease, and not quite to my eyebrows. Then top with your favorite eyeshadows! I would recommend this product to anyone not wanting to spend around $20 for a high-end primer, this little beauty was around $8! A great product to have, whether you've just started trying out a primer, or you're sick of spending a lot of cash!

Pink lip combo from the drugstore!!

So I am a huge fan of layering my lip products if you haven't figured that out yet! And I am also loving my Maybelline Baby Lips, so of course I ended up layering a few things and loved the results today! I used my Peach Baby Lips, and put my Rimmel Moisture Renew lipgloss in Pink Benefit on top!

Rimmel makes great drugstore glosses at awesome prices!! I recently saw that a girl I love watching on youtube got this gloss in Purple Rescue, which will most likely be my next purchase from this brand! It says it has collagen, and vitamins a, c, & e, along with an spf 15! It wears very smoothly, and lasts a decent amount of time for a drugstore gloss! So if you're going for a nice baby pink lip, this would be a cheap, moisturizing, wonderful way to do it!

I would most likely wear a light pink lip like this with... anything really! I think it works for most looks in general, from a smokey eye to an everyday neutral eye, this will be a great go-to lip look! :-)
