The Original Beauty Blender

Hello Gorgeous Viewing Beauty Blogger's

I was looking through all my makeup and brushes that I've collected over the years and I came across the Beauty Blender and it instantly became my old/new love for this week. The Beauty Blender is an ergonomically designed non-disposable sponge that can be used on all types of makeup. The sponge is very versatile and can be used to apply loose powder, mineral cosmetics, and eye shadow application. It's shape is similar to an egg one end is round and the smaller end is a small round
tip, making application easy for concealer, under the eyes, and around the nose areas. This super eco-friendly sponge comes with an instructional pamphlet so you can get great application techniques, allowing for a flawless airbrushed finish. The Beauty Blender is a non-latex product, hypoallergenic, and with proper care it can last three to four months.

Two ways to clean your Beauty Blender:

-Liquid sponge cleanser that comes in a bottle
-Round container with solid sponge cleanser

The Beauty Blender comes in three shades Black, White, and Pink. I got my Beauty Blender at Sephora and it was $19.95 but I know that you can get the spounge a lot cheaper on line at different web sites where it is sold. I highly recommend this beauty product, if your looking to buy one make sure you get "The Original Beauty Blender" because there are dups out there from other makeup brands that don't work near as well. The Original Beauty Blender is an Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner.

e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation SPF 15 Oil Free

Hello Gorgeous Viewing Blogger's

While I was out of town, I got a chance to go by a Target store and get some  e.l.f. products.  I will be reviewing my recently purchased e.l.f. products that I'm loving. My new love for this week is the e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation it's Oil Free and has an SPF 15 protecting skin against sun damage. The reason why I like this foundation is that it was easy to apply and blends naturally for a Semi-Matte finish. This product goes on your skin as a liquid foundation and then it has a light powdered finish, so when I use this foundation I don't have to set it with powder if I want a dewy glowing finish. This foundation is lightweight and gives your complexion a flawless, silky smooth look that lasts all day. Depending on how you apply it you can achieve a sheer finish or it's build able for a fuller coverage. The foundation also restores uneven skin textures and tones for visibly brighter and radiant looking skin. It has six different shades offering a wide range making it compatible for most all skin tones.


The Six Shades from Light to Dark are:      
-Porcelain
-Sand
-Buff
-Caramel
-Almond
-Coco

I recommend this foundation. The cost is $6.00 size 0.8 oz, so I feel like it's an affordable beauty buy, and you can purchase it where e.l.f. is sold.

NYX Finishing Sprays in Dewy Glow and Matte

Hello Gorgeous Viewing Bloggers,

What I'm loving right now are the NYX Finishing Sprays in Dewy Glow and Matte, I purchased both of them on Cyber Monday and they both are Amazing. These finishing sprays are light weight, water based and protects your just "applied makeup." They also shield your makeup from temperature variations, sweat, and air pollution. With these great setting sprays you only have to apply your makeup once and it stays in place with out dealing with constant reapplications through out your day. These finishing sprays are so awesome and long-lasting that they are used by Professional Makeup Artists and in Professional Makeup Photography. I highly recommend both NYX Finishing Sprays in Dewy Glow and Matte, each of them are $8.00 for 2.03 oz and you can purchase them where NYX is sold.

e.l.f. Studio Daily Moisture Stick Review

Hello my Gorgeous Viewing Blogger's

This week my new favorite beauty product is the e.l.f. Studio Daily Moisture Stick, I purchased this product on Cyber Monday when e.l.f. was having there half off all products. I gave it a try and I found it easy to use, it's a clear gel with a formula that nourishes and hydrates the face and body. This moisture stick is light weight, soothing, multi-purpose balm, cooling, and non-greasy. The Balm has antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients.

The ingredients include:
-Grape
-Cocoa
-Shea
-Avocado
-Macadamia
-Aloe
-Chamomile

This Daily Moisture Stick is a secret weapon for winter skin, it can be used on dry patches and over your makeup during the day for a quick touch up (great for fine lines under the eye). I use it everyday to condition and moisturize my face and have been happy with it. The packaging is very covenant for home or travel, It works like a deodorant but for your face and other dry areas on the body. The price is $6.00 for 0.53oz and you can find it were e.l.f. is sold, I think it's a great price for all the benefits you receive.

M.A.C. Paint Pot shade "Quite Natural"

Hello Gorgeous Viewing Beauty Blogger's

This week my old and new found love is M.A.C.'s Paint Pot in Quite Natural, when I first purchased this paint pot about a year ago I used it just as an cream eyeshadow or an eyeshadow base. I was watching a YouTube video from Jaclyn Hill the other day and she said that she is using the Quite Natural Paint Pot to fill in her eyebrows. As soon as the video was over I pulled out one of my old favorite Paint Pots in Quite Natural and I just had to give it a try on my eyebrows, I was amazed it worked beautifully and the shade was very pigmented. After I applied the Paint Pot to my eyebrows I noticed that it was the perfect shade of a light to medium brunette which is perfect for my skin and hair color. I also noticed that the gel like consistency from the paint pot held my eyebrows in place the whole day with no brow gel needed. This highly pigmented eyelid and eyebrow color goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish.

The benefits of this Paint Pot:
-Long wearing
-Great coverage
-Blends smoothly
-Cream based
-Great color payoff for a cream shadow or on eyebrows
-Creaseless
-Shadow base

The M.A.C. paint pot in "Quite Natural" is really a great two in one eye shadow cream and eyebrow shade and it is $20.00 for 5 Grams. I will defiantly be repurchasing this paint pot,  M.A.C.'s Paint Pots have an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 and I support that high rating, you can purchase this product were M.A.C. products are sold.

Murad Instant Radiance Eye Cream

Hello Gorgeous Beauty Blogger's

I was shopping at Sephora and I had 100 pts. so I decided to try the Murad Instant Radiance Eye Cream deluxe sample. I've been using it everyday for a week and I give it a thumbs up, this is my new love for this week. I have been searching for a good eye cream for a long time, and this eye cream is my favorite so far. I have used so many different eye creams I've actually lost count, but this eye cream is great because I can apply it around the whole eye area from under the eye to the eye brows. The constancy of this eye product is a light silicone when you first apply it and then is smoothes out and your eye area becomes soft and hydrated. This brightening under eye and eye lid treatment is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of dark circles and restores smoothness. This eye cream supports natural collagen production to plump the look of skin and brightens to restore skin's radiance. It also contains Retinol Palmitate and Tangerine Butter that absorbs quickly and smooths the skin around the eyes.

This formulation is made without:
-Parabens
-Sulfates
-Phthalates

This eye cream is Scientifically proven, Dermatologist Developed and not tested on animals. You can find this eye cream anywhere Murad is sold for the full size it's $68.00 size 0.5 oz for right now I'm liking this cream because you can apply it under your makeup and it helps you makeup last. I recommend this product but I'm still in search for "The perfect eye cream". If you have any suggestions to give me on a eye product that your loving please comment in the box bellow.
