MY NEW FAVORITE PRODUCT

Hello Ladies,
I have a new product for you!!! I saw that Loreal came out with a new primer. So, I said let me try it and see if it really works, well i used it on Monday in Atlanta which was about 85-90 degrees. Ladies, I only had to powder my makeup once, and my skin is kinda oily!!! Just to compare it to the most popular primer I know, Smash box, I used Smashbox on Tuesday it was good. However the Loreal is very comparable and for a lower rate. Smashbox is $38. So ladies my choice for beautinista on a budget is Loreal, it costs between $10-$13, you can't beat that!!!

Just to give you some background information, primer is put on your entire face prior to foundation or concealer application. After your moisturize, you apply the primer and let it set then go on with your normal foundation application. The primers main function is to allow your makeup to stay on longer, it also aids in preventing your skin from becoming oily or shiny.  It also minimizes wrinkles and fine lines. Its essential to have in your makeup kit. !!

MY TOP BLUSHES AND BRONZERS

Here are some of the blushes and bronzers that I recommend. I am listing products in various price brackets, just because it cost doesn't mean that its a great product. Have fun with this, remember you don't have to stick to one color, try different shades and textures depending on the look that you are trying to achieve.


TOP BLUSHES
1. NARS $25 - Orgasm this is a pinky/peachy with subtle highlights with a golden shimmer; Super Orgasm is a pinky/peachy with extra golden sparkle, this gives the face a great glow.  * I love both these shades.

2. LOREAL "TRUE MATCH" $9 - Sweet ginger is a soft coral/peachy color with no shimmer. I love this color, i use on myself as well as clients.  For the price you can't beat this, try the other "true match" blushes they are defiantly worth adding to your collection.

3. NYX COSMETICS  $8 -  this brand is sometimes called the "poor woman's MAC" these colors have great pigmentation and is super economical.

4. MILANI LUMINOUS $5. 50  - you can't beat this price, for such a great product. These colors are amazing. If you cant afford NARS Super Orgasm, this color is a peachy/coral shimmer with no glitter that can be used as a substitute.

5. MAC BLUSH $18.50 - MAC never disappoints, and some suggested colors are: Instant Chic, Coral, Gingerly and Springsheen.   MAC has such a huge collection with a variety of colors, shimmer no shimmer shades.

TOP BRONZERS


1.MAC BRONZER $22.00 - As always they have a great color selection.  Their bronzers have shimmery, but they are not over shimmery. I use this as my everyday bronzer.

2. ESTEE LAUDER $25 - Bronze Goddess. This color comes in shimmer and no shimmer. I love the soft matt, it can be used on everyone no matter the skin color.  This is one of those items that you never leave home without.

3. STILA $28 - Sun Bronzing Powder. This is a great product, comes in 2 shades, one is  a little more shimmery than other.

4. SMASHBOX $28 - this is such a great line, and they have great bronzer to match. It comes in 2 shades.

SUMMER LIP GLOSS SELECTIONS

With so many brands out there, you can find your perfect color from multiple lines. I always suggest getting a lipgloss and lipstick, some of you may feel that lipstick is for your grandmother but grandma sometimes knows best. Lipstick last longer than gloss that you have to continuously re-apply. I always add a little gloss to my lipstick for added shine. Below you will find some brands that I like, for my budget friendly beautinistas like myself you will not go wrong with Loreal www.lorealparisusa.com!!!

Hope you have fun with this!!!
