Officially on the hunt for yet another brush. Why? You may ask. Well this smart one broke it. No, no my brush wasn't involved in some catastrophic apocalyptic war that caused it to split in half, it was my hair. Yes ladies, my flippin hair broke my brush!<br />
<br />
After years of damaging my hair with color treatments, heating tools and overall abuse, after each shower it becomes a hot mess of tangled tresses that are...well...capable of snapping a brush. Ever so frustrated and annoyed I called up my BFF aka my sister, to spill my heart and shared my woes, when she introduced me to probably the most genius product of all time....Suave Detangler...FOR KIDS!!<br />
<br />
Yup, I just admitted it, I now shop in the kids aisle! But what am I supposed to do, this stuff is AWESOME! One quick spritz and poof! My hair is instantly transformed and can run a comb through it without a single snag!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now before you dismiss me as a total weirdo, check out the pros and cons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>PRO</b>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Two quick pumps is all it takes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Smells AMAZING (green apples is my fav)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Doesn't sting your eyes, yes I speak from experience (tastes ok too)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. CHEAP ($3-$5 USD)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Light weight formula doesn't cause build up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Obviously child safe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. Lasts forever! Totally depends on how much and how often you use</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. Adorable packaging</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. Reduces flyaways</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>CONS:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. .....cant think of any :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So ladies, if you have a pile of hot mess on your head that you call hair, go give this product a try. I can't begin to tell you how elated I am not to see a pile of hair on the floor every time I comb my tangled hair.</div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;">Hola my peeps :) So after my 6 month long hiatus from buying makeup I may have gone a bit overboard but that's cool, more stuff for me share with you guys....right (insert audio of you all patting my back while telling me its okay). Anyways, I love lip products, so lets get right into it.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;">Because I am a lip product junkie, I love bundle items like this that let me sample multiple items/brands at once. Not only can I sample brands that I may have avoided thus far, but I can really get a feel for the product before throwing down an exorbitant amount of cash for a silly lip product</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment ($22.50) -</strong></span>Very nice "high end" lip balm. It gives you the perfect sheer, supple, red tint to your lips without going overboard. The consistency is slightly waxy/buttery and the product has a very pleasant "clean/lemon" smell. However, BEWARE, due to the chemical makeup of the product (or lack of chemicals) this product melts ridiculously fast, don't leave it in the sun or your pocket for that matter. If I was looking for a fancy "chapstick" I would definitely buy this.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Pink ($24)</strong></span>- This is a very sheer gloss that left me with a SLIGHT milky/peachy sheen on my lips. I did not find it to be sticky, tacky or slimy at all. I has a slight sweet (vanilla?) scent to it so keep that in mind when testing this product. Overall I really like this product however for the price and the lack of color, I will not be running to the store to buy the full size tube anytime soon.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Dolly ($22.50)-</strong></span> A very nice mauve color with a slight hint of shimmer. The consistency is on the thicker end and it is tacky. Buxom products usually promise to be long-lasting so the tackiness definitely helps with this. There is a minty smell and feel to the product which helps with the illusion of fuller and poutier lips, but don't worry, the tingly feeling is short lived and not irritating. I have multiple Buxom lipgloss' and I adore all of them.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NARS Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight ($24)</strong></span>- Synonymous with Kim Kardashian, this product is exactly what I thought it would be: sheer and milky. Like the Laura Mercier gloss, there wasn't much color pay off but I did like the smooth texture of the gloss. However unlike the Laura Mercier this gloss did have a slight chemical based smell, which I mean is manageable but still prevalent. Overall, I think this would be a great gloss to put over a nude lip color, but I don't see myself running to buy this color.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Rhubarb ($24)-</strong></span> I have never tried any Bite Beauty products so this one really caught me off guard. What a wonderful lip product! Following the trend of twist up jumbo pencil lip products this is a twist up matte lip stick that feels very comfortable on the lips and lasts a decent amount of time. The color is beautiful deep rose/red shade which I found made me look more tanner then I really was but on my sister (who is much lighter then I) it really accented her porcelain skin. Great product, definitely would buy!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> Tarte LipSurgence Lip Luster in Glitzy ($24)</strong></span>- I am a huge fan of the entire TARTE Insurgence line and this product is just another in a line of great products. With its signature minty taste and smell, this product glides on smoothly and the color is very similar to the Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Balm, but with a slight sheen/shimmer kick. Just a great everyday lip color to throw on while running out the door.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;"><strong><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">Overall</span></strong>: Well worth the $25 USD. Yes there were some definite hits and misses but then again that was due to my own personal preference. So if you have not already bought/tried this product...go on....go and get you some lip by Sephora :)</span></div>

SWATCHES! You know you wanted to see some swatches :) The colors are a nice mix of frost and matte.</div>

Overall: Ok, so this palette isn't the most awesomest palette ever, but it definitely is very nice. The colors are very pigmented, go on easily with little fall out and last a very long time. Lately I have been using the darker shades just as a smudged liner and the effect is very sexy sultry but wearable.</div>

Normally this palette sells for $36 USD but I bought it for half the price, and for that price, yup this is definitely my go to palette :)</div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #003300;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Packaging</strong></span> : The foundation comes in a cool sleek glass jar.

<li><span data-mce-style="color: #003300;">Very expensive for a drugstore foundation</span></li>

<span data-mce-style="color: #003300;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Overall:</strong></span> I really like this foundation. At first I wasn't too sure about what to make of this product. Is is liquid, is it mousse? I couldn't decide, but it felt great on my skin, not the same thickness as the regular Colorstay. My only problem however is that I felt I needed a primer because although it looked gorgeous on my skin as the hours passed, it also sank into my pores and caked around dry patches and blemishes.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #003300;"><strong>Would I buy it again?</strong> I think so, I mean I wouldn't wear on the days I have a breakout our problem skin, but I for long work days or a night out, it is great.</span></div>

So when I got in the shower and poured some on my loofah, I was shocked by the amount of lather and suds this product made, a very pleasant surprise. Furthermore, as I started to loofah away, the smooth and silky feeling was awesome, so awesome that I actually giggled because I was so surprised about how nice the cream wash felt on my skin. As an added bonus, since a small amount really does go a long way, one squirt of product lasted my whole shower.</span></div>

Due to high temperatures (it is a 112F in Cali where I live, today) and sun exposure, I always get mild heat rashes, discoloration on my face and just overall irritated skin. What the AHAVA did right after the first use, was calm my skin and sooth the irritations. Within a few days, I saw my skin kinda clear up and look refreshed.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800000;" style="color: maroon;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Overall</strong></span>: I would recommend this product for people with sensitive or dry skin. Designed specifically for dry skin, I can see how this product can be moisturizing and soothing, but on my normal/combo skin, while it helped calm my skin, it didn't do much for moisturizing. And although the product does have a very nice slightly floral smell, it does not linger on the skin very long, which can be a plus for people who have skin allergies to added oils and scents.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800000;" style="color: maroon;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Would I buy it again?</strong> </span>For the summer I definitely would just because it is so gentle and light weight, but for winter I would definitely opt for a more moisturizing body wash.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">I'm in a transition period in my life between college student and official adult, and as per obligatory requirement, I live in a tiny, dingy, always smells like...old!? apartment. Seeing as I don't have much room to breathe, let alone clutter my counters with bath products, I have had to resort to more crafty ways to make more space. Case in point, shoe hanger.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">Due to the nearly non-existent bathroom space I have, my hanger has become my new bff. Not only do I have a special pocket for all my hot tools, but all my other accouterments, that would have cluttered my counters, now have a special home of their own.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">Whats more, this handy dandy andy can be used in many more space saving ways. I have used one to organize my belts, scarves, bangles, accessories and leggings. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">Furthermore, I have seen it used to organize spices in the pantry, in the garden as a hanging planter, in the garage to organize tools, the list goes on.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">So think outside the box and invest in a $6 shoe hanger, trust me, you will appreciate all the free space :)</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">My heart is sad and weeping. I never thought it would come to this. When I brought each one home, I promised to love and cherish them equally. But as the days, months, years passed, I knew I had lied. I quickly picked favorites and pushed all the others aside. Finally seeing how much I had hurt the ones I neglected, I gave away 20 of my babies....this is what I am left with.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">Still not liking the idea of digging through a drawer to find the perfect shade, I bought me a bunch of practice nail wheels off ebay for like a $1 for a pack of 5 and now I can just check the nail wheel for what color my heart fancies for the day and bada-bing bada-boom, cuts down on clutter time since I don't have to dump the drawer out no more.</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">Yup, I have hit an all time low.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">I knew I had a problem when I had to beg my roomie to go shopping with me because I just HAD to spend $20 or else I would go crazy, but yesterday when I got a Julep Maven box in the mail and didn't even know I ordered it, I knew I had a problem!</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">Now I like goodies in the mail, but like I said in a previous post, $20 for two nail polish and some extras is just a bit much to rationalize. While I'm airing out my dirty laundry, might as well admit to purchasing the US Glossybox, yet another monthly subcription beauty box, and making an impromptu Clarisonic purchase......arghhh I am out of control.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">BUT there is a silver lining here, I think. Being an avid online bargain shopper I have come across some fabulous websites that actually save me money, case in point ebates.com.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">If it wasn't for ebates, in the past two years I would have spent an excess of $150 on products I purchased online. WOWSER! So how does it work? You sign up for free, click on link to store you want to shop at and BAM get a certain percent back.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">EXAMPLE: I went on ebates, saw drugstore.com was giving double back, so 12% in stead of 6%. Clicked on the link added what I wanted to my virtual shopping cart, added some coupan codes from retailmenot.com (another MUST for online shopping) and checked out. In the end, I ended up saving a whopping $52!!!!</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
He ya'll so last week I read a blog about this 30 day makeup challenge where you have a different task to do daily.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
At first I was all psyched, like "Yeah, cool got me some new ideas! Totally gonna do this! " (said in radical white surfer dude voice), but here I am four days later and well, lets just say it....FAIL! :)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
So what I decided to do instead was pick and choose the tasks that I liked best and share my idea with you all. The first one that stood out to me the one about sharing tips and tricks that I may know....so here I go:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #ff0000;" style="color: red;">1. <strong>Concealer brushes were made for a reason</strong>! While I do believe you can use any brush for any task you want, concealer brushes are that perfect size to cover your problem areas. So ladies put down the spatulas, and brushes the size of your head and just use the tiny brush (or ur finger) to only cover the problem area. You save product and you avoid the cake face. So conceal, dab dab dab to blend edges...done</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<span data-mce-style="color: #ff6600;" style="color: #ff6600;">2. <strong>Clear Mascara isn't just for your lashes!</strong> It is also a great brow setter and a quick way to make your wispy fly-away hairs stay in place.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #99cc00;" style="color: #99cc00;">3. <strong>Lipstick is a multi-tasker!</strong> Lips, cheek stain, eye primer...it does it all.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">4. <strong>Gloss=gorgeous lips!</strong> Just dab some gloss in the center of your bottom lip and BAM! sexy lips...OH add a small highlight to your cupids bow for extra plumpness</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #008080;" style="color: teal;">5.<strong> Bronzer is your friend!</strong> I was never a bronzer girl cause I always feared looking like Snooki or overdone. However, with the right color I found it can do wonders. Applied in a "3" motion on my round face and then WATCH OUT sexy face! (Plus I can now hide my double chin without dieting :) OOOOO and if you dont want a powder bronzer, just buy a foundation colors a few shades darker and tada you got your self a liquid bronzer</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #0000ff;" style="color: blue;">6. <strong>Look wide-eyed with white</strong>: I think everyone already knows that if you put white liner on your lower inner lid that it will make your eyes look wider and alert. For me I find the white to be too harsh, so I use a nude pencil which works the same way </span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #000080;" style="color: navy;">7.<strong> Baby Powder/Baking Soda to the rescue</strong>: If you are a grease ball or just lazy and don't like washing your hair, use baby powder or baking soda to suck up all the oils in your head. Get a small amount, work it into roots, comb out, done! (more suitable for lighter hair)</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #800080;" style="color: purple;">8. <strong>STOP smiling when applying blush</strong>! This is as an old school trick that we have all used but need to stop. When you smile your cheeks are higher, when you stop smiling they go back down. So while you might have thought you just applied some sexy blush to your gorgeous cheeks...think again because now its down to your jowls :)</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #ff9900;" style="color: #ff9900;">12. <strong>No SPF for photos!</strong> I know this is controversial, but in order to avoid the ghost face in pictures, avoid makeup with titanium dioxide or SPF. Usually the setting powder is the culprit.</span></div>

Well first apply a regular mascara and then top it with a waterproof one. This way the water proof formula locks onto the regular mascara and not your lashes making it easier to remove :)</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #0000ff;" style="color: blue;">Not being a lash wearer I feel these are a really fun product to experiment with. Yes they feel heavy, look fake if not applied right and are the creepiest looking thing when you wake up in the morning and find them on your bathroom counter, but they give a great effect.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #0000ff;" style="color: blue;">FINAL WORD: If you have 99 pennies to spare I say order a pair! My suggestion however, if you are a newb to the fake lash world, is to start off with less dramatic lashes because they take a while to get used to. Plus because they are a little heavy they gave me a droopy eye kinda look, which would look really sexy with a smokey eye, but for an everyday look, I just looked stoned :)</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11835563802929559252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452272732879253569.post-944393184007627772012-05-10T20:10:00.000-07:002012-05-10T20:10:10.344-07:00Seche Vite Anyone???<br />

Really like the colors, the top one is a really nice transluscent type of effect but hate the brush on applicator. It's supposed to look and work like the Stila lip thingy majigers, but it doesn't. The middle one is a really nice baby pink that I actually really liked and the bottom one has a nice sheen affect, but the once again the doe foot applicators were so flimsy, they seemed like they would snap.</div>

The light pink is invisible, the coral dream is a gorgeous creamy orange, the mint cream is a long distant relative of For Audrey by O.P.I, the party peach is a neon red-orange (more orange) and the dark navy is....dark navy :)</div>

Top lipstick is Classy bottom is Charming. Classy is a wanna be impersonator of the MAC Viva Glam Nicky/Gaga Family and charming is a great neutral coral color for me because it is just a few shades brighter than my natural lip color</div>

All the shadows are very glittery/frosty and require a good base. Expect a lot of loose fall out because they are loose pigments, but the color pay off is wonderful and they are very blendable/wearable. Would look AWESOME on darker skin :) (Sidenote: these were all "free" with ELF's 10 mineral shadows for free promotion)</div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Product</strong></span>: As I said above the product is like a thick hairspray that kinda bubbles and foams, depending on how close you aim it. Basically you spray it into your hands and rub onto desired area. You can apply a light layer or thick, depending on the affect you are going for. The product does dry quickly so work in small patches and work fast. Also it says its water proof, which it is to some extent. Just don't wear white or go swimming and you will be fine :) Oh, use a hand soap and it comes off your hands easily when done applying.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Overall</strong></span>: I can honestly when I first tried this "tan in a can" I hated it! It made me look like I was wearing orange nylons and made my legs look like I had purposely rubbed foundation on them. But then something wonderful happened. After about ten minutes, after the product had settled, my legs looked great :) The tan looked "natural" and all the little discoloration I had from sports scars were covered. </span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">So should you buy it....yeah why not. You have to work with it a little, but remember to use a light hand and pick the right color for the affect you are going for and you'll be fine.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #008000;" style="color: green;">SIDE NOTE: This is just a cosmetic fix product so with gentle exfoliation it washes off easily so if you are looking for a long term tan then this is not for you, but if you just want a quick tan for the day then go for it :)</span></div>

All three are very intense black. However Essence is the most creamy while Wet N' Wild has a drier formula.</div>

Took a contain swab dipped in makeup remover, ran it once over all three. Essence faded, Wet N wild barely moved and with one more swipe E.L.F would have disappeared.</div>

If you are looking for an awesome liner all around, then get the Essence Liner. It is creamy so it goes on SOOOO smooth. It doesn't smudge and lasts all day. Plus they have a very nice color selection for those divas wanting to experiment with colored gel liners :)</div>

If you are looking for a liner that won't move for days, go ahead get the Wet N Wild Liner. That little sucker stays on even after you remove it. Although a little drier in texture, it is very easy to apply.</div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #ea8cbb;" style="color: #ea8cbb;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Overall:</strong></span> Buy it, Try it :) I bought one to try, and loved it so much I am going to go buy more. A little tip though, they can be a little drying at first so make sure lips are very well hydrated and do not just gloop this product on like a lipgloss! It is very thick and dense so I normally just dab dab dab, and press my lips together.</span></div>

However would I become a monthly subcriber.......for $2o/month probably not. Ouch, I know. I love nail varnish but I mean come on I can go to the drugstore and pick up polish for like a buck, so sorry Julep Maven, although your introductory offer is AWESOME, I just can not see myself paying that much each moth for nail polish and hand products.</span></div>

:) I'm on the never-ending search for prefect skin. While a good skin care routine is a must, a good foundation is also a bonus, so here's my mass review of most of the drugstore foundations I have tried.</div>

<strong>Pros</strong>: Covers like a Mo Fo! I have a more in-depth review, but this the foundation everyday because it stays on my oily skin all day and it doesn't budge until I take it off. I love that they have two versions of this foundation, 1 for oily/combo skin and one for dry/normal</div>

<strong>Cons</strong>: Its thick. I mix mine with a moisturizer to thin it a bit and if you read my previous posts you know I hate that it does not have a pump so it can really messy.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>Pros</strong>: Third times the charm for me and this foundation. I hated it at first but now I really like it. It can give a very sheer effect but it also can be built up. It gives off a nice dewy finish because it is more liquidy than most drugstore foundations. Oh and they have a HUGE shade selection, which is great if you have lighter or darker skin</div>

<strong>Cons</strong>: For me it's not very long-lasting. Towards the end of my workday I can see it fading from oiler areas on my face. Also it doesn't have a pump so yup it can get messy.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>Pros</strong>: This is my new favorite. It has awesome coverage and longevity! A little goes a long way which is great because this on the more expensive end of drugstore foundations. As far as "visible lift" I think it works slightly because it fills in small pores and wrinkles giving a smooth look, and oh did I mention, it has a pump!</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>Cons</strong>: Because it is very bendable a small amount is all you need but it can be hard to control how much comes out of the pump sometimes.</div>

<strong>Pros</strong>: This is the prefect combo of the Revlon Colorstay and L'Oreal True Match. Its thick but not too thick and gives really nice coverage. Lasts a normal 8 hour work day once set with a good face powder.</div>

<strong>Pros</strong>: Often compared to the NARS Sheerglow, this foundation gives the nicest sheer dewy coverage.

<strong>Cons</strong>: It's just weird! At first I thought I found the perfect $4 foundation but that was a short-lived thought. It smells weird, turns blotchy and doesn't stay on</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>Pros:</strong> Interesting concept, comes out white, changes color while you blend into skin.</div>

<strong>Cons</strong>: It turned powdery on my skin and didn't give much coverage and there are only three "colors" to choose from light, medium or dark.</div>

So there you are my fellow bloggers, the drugstore foundation smackdown!!! Who won??? No one :( Although I love my Colorstay and Visible Lift I'm still on the search for the illusive "perfect" foundation :)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
If you have any suggestions for a new foundation please leave a comment or if you want a more in-depth review of any of the foundations I mentioned just let me know :)</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11835563802929559252noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452272732879253569.post-37155320217674075602012-04-13T16:45:00.000-07:002014-11-29T14:00:16.465-08:00Friday the 13th CURSEEEEE!!!<span style="color: #674ea7;">It wasn't me....I swear!
