Hi all-

So I only do this once a year- I think that is enough since really at this point the products change but not really the organization. I do have new lights and a new camera, so I mention that as well.

I hope you find this helpful and please let me know if you have any questions on anything you see in the video!

Brush Cleaning w Rubbing Alcohol

2011-10-24T10:10:00.005-04:00

So I saw a video a while back from Gossmakeup about cleaning brushes w rubbing alcohol. So I decided to give it a try. So far I am LOVING it- so easy and so clean.

I will note that the 70% did not work for me, but the 91% and 99% are amazing! I tend to find the 99% at my grocery store and the 91% is the highest I have found at places like CVS, Walgreens, etc.

NOTE- the 70% kills more bacteria and 91-99% removes more color- so interchange them.

Also this has not dried my brushes our or made them brittle- I still deep clean once month.

Have you tried this and what do you think?

Cheers-Lisa

Sephora Friends and Family Sale

2011-10-20T13:42:00.004-04:00

So it is the time of year again for the Sephora Friends and Family Sale- 20% off anything you purchase. No restrictions. Usually you just have to be a VIB. This year the day before the sale began, which runs from Oct 20-Nov 2nd, it was announced that they would not be doing the sale. I decided not to freak out and wait until the day of to see what they actually did. No use it trying to figure it out until then. Plus Temptalia (http://www.temptalia.com/) hadn't posted anything about it and Christine always seems to know before others.

So that being said I already had my order in my shopping bag in case the sale was on. I woke up in the morning and the sale was on. However they did change it this year. You have to go to the link below and enter your email address and they will send you a code to use for a 1 time purchase. It used to be you could use it as many times as you wanted between those dates. However you can get one code sent to up to 5 email addresses. Not sure yet how that works though so don't quote me- I just read that. So here it is the link for the discount code.

Also another bummer is once again they left Canada out of the discount. I don't understand why they do that.

Enjoy your shopping!

Cheers-Lisa

Overview Skincare 2011

2011-10-13T15:10:00.005-04:00

So this has been requested many times. It is an updated Skincare. I will say this changes for me all the time as far as moisturizers, masks and washes, etc. The reason for that is because I am always testing new items to see how they work and to review them.

Review Chanel Precision Lumiere Foundation

2011-10-06T11:39:00.008-04:00

So this is a much awaited review of the Chanel Precision Lumiere foundation. This is supposed to be replacing the Pro Lumiere. I do discuss the difference in my video, but I think they are very different in finish and slightly in coverage.

Some key items is that it does slightly oxidize, so be sure to buy a lighter color that what you think. Also application can be a bit tricky, so try some different ways to find what works best for you!

Have any of you tried it? Let me know your thoughts.

My favorite brushes:

Tested Tarte ReCreate Primer

2011-10-05T09:57:00.005-04:00

So I gave this primer a test run yesterday. I had received a sample with a Sephora order. I haven't really been using primer much lately because I feel I don't need it as much in Fall. My skin was feeling a bit dull so I figured I would give it a shot. This primer is silicone free which is super important to me, since ones with silicone seem to break me out.

I put it on let it set in and it felt really good so far. Then I applied liquid foundation over it and it applied very well. However the biggest issue was the wear time. It didn't help my foundation stay on, it didn't reduce pore size or oils. I don't really think it it is something I would purchase. It is a shame, because I really wanted to like it. Plus side- it didn't break me out. So I guess it is on to the next sample!

Have you tried this primer? If so what do you think about it?

Cheers-Lisa

Review Benefit They're Real Mascara

2011-10-02T12:11:00.004-04:00

Hi again everyone-

So I saw a video about this a while back. I think it was MakeupbyTiffanyD and she had said how great it was. Well I am a sucker for a good mascara, even though I tend to prefer drugstore options since I don't usually get through a whole one before it expires. :-(

It can be purchased at Sephora or Ulta for $22

Review Urban Decay Primer Potion Tube

2011-09-23T15:17:00.002-04:00

Hello all this is my review on the Urban Decay Primer Potion in the tube. It is the professional size. I purchased this about 6-8 months ago when they came out with it. When I purchased it the smaller one was still in the container with the wand. SO here are my thoughts on this!

DONT WASTE YOUr MONEY! :oP It dried up way to quick and was a waste of money!

I hope this saves some of you also!

Review Ellen Lange Express Retexturizing Peel

2011-09-22T16:34:00.003-04:00

When I was contacted by this company to try their product I was super excited. As always anything I can try that is a "peel" like item for at home I am all about it. I love to try them and compare them to the things I get done at a Medi Spa. So this peel was great and so easy to use. I also love that they empahsize realizing while the peel is processing.

There is a total of 10% Glycolic in the Peel Kit - 5% in the pads, %5 in the solution. The pH of the Glycolic Acid is 3.7-3.5.

So I hope you enjoy!

My Hair Care Routine

2011-09-14T09:57:00.001-04:00

Hello all-

So it has been requested many times for me to do a video about my hair care and what I did to get my hair to grow. Keep in mind it took me almost 2 years to get it this long and it also is partially from the genes in my family- not just the products. Also this is just what worked for me, every is different, so it might not work for you! Test things out and see what works best for you.

Hair Demo Wavy Hair

On You Tube I called this a tutorial- I think I am going to start saying Demo, because I don't feel like Tutorial is the right word for what I am doing! So here is what I use and do with my hair when I want that be achy waved look.

Review Milani Liqui'feye

2011-09-09T12:45:00.003-04:00

Hello all-

So I was so excited when I found these liners since I love the original ones that need to be sharpened. But I found that the automatic ones are not as great- they don't turn up. I thought i had a bad one but both of mine are this way. So I posted my review on YT and many people said that you have to turn from the top not the bottom- that worked on one but not the other! :o( Anyway I wanted to let everyone else to know about this and to make their own decision after. I will say the pigmentation is not as good as the ones you sharpen. I hope this helps someone out- either rot figure out if there one is a bad one or if they just are not turning it correctly.

2011-09-08T12:07:00.003-04:00

Hello all-

So one of my most requested reviews is for the Guerlain Parure Extreme Luminious Extreme Wear Foundation. It is the foundation I wore on my wedding day and it is by far one of my favorites. It can be pricey though and it has a sent to I just want to make people aware of that. It is probably close to the Estee Lauder Double Wear but doesn't feel heavy like the EL.

I purchase mine at Sephora for $57.

I have to mix 2 colors #3 and #5.

Let me know if you have any questions and enjoy!

New Beauty Test Tube and QVC

2011-09-02T10:43:00.005-04:00

So, I saw a video that Heidi (Jalepena2007 on YT) about the New Beauty Test Tube from QVC. Now I have seen this magazine and liked it but couldn't see paying $10 every 3 months for it. I had also heard about the test tube but I didn't know anyone who had received one. So when I watched her video I was intrigued to give it a try. Now there are two different ones- one from QVC that has products that they sell and one from New Beauty (NB) directly that has products that they feature in the magazine.

So I did some back and forth about which one to order and I actually ended up ordering both by mistake. I thought I canceled my order from NB, I had received a cancelation email. But I ended up receiving both in the mail and I am glad I did.

The main differences are the QVC one is more makeup based and the NB one is more skincare based. See my video below for exactly what is in them. The do both come with a copy of the magazine (which at $10 each time makes this seem like a better buy to me.) The NB one comes with a $20 gift card for spa look, but the trick is you have to spend $100 to get the $20 off. So be aware.

Each test tube is $29 before shipping- so it ends up around $38 every three months and it will auto deliver.

Do you get this? If so let me know some of your favorite products you have received or which you prefer QVC or NB!

Cheers-Lisa

Wedding Information

2011-08-29T12:24:00.005-04:00

Hi again everyone!

So it has been requested for me to do some wedding tips and how to's for planning and just a basic run through about my wedding. So what better place than here on my blog because really I don't think people want to see a video about that anyway!

Well the first thing that I want to bring to everyone attention is that for years before getting in to real estate I was an event planner. I ran events for a large marketing company based out of NY. I worked at home and in my own market (Maryland, DC and Delaware.) So I have had lots of experience dealing with how events go and how to handle last minute issues. I did have a wedding planner and my wedding was over 400 miles away from where I live.

I live in Maryland and my wedding was in Cape Cod Massachusetts. So the good side of this is that the wedding planner was able to point me in the direction of people in the area that were great for each thing I needed. Since it was so far away I did have to rely on her to give me recommendations and besides she knows her area and the people she has worked with so far better than I do. If my wedding was in my local area- then I probably would not have used a wedding planner.

So the first things we did was to pick a location. We spent a weekend looking at locations and finding what we wanted out of a location. Our requirements- at the cape, on the water, great food. Major things for us. Past that the rest can be changed easily. So we found the venue and narrowed down a date- this was difficult since the location was booking fast. We had trouble deciding between summer and fall. Both beautiful up there. But we decided to go with the summer, since it is the best time of year to go there and so many people would be traveling, so why not make it somewhere they could vacation as well? So with the date July 23rd chosen on to the next thing.

We then had to find a hotel for people, officiant, cake, DJ, florist, photographer, makeup/hair people and many other small things.

So with the help of the planner I found all of the above through phone calls and viewing websites. On many people I did follow up with people that had used them in the past.

So all of these things out of the way and the next few items were to do a tasting for the main food and the cake. After doing the tastings and making decisions. We had pretty easy decisions because we wanted one beef, one fish and one vegetarian option. We also had an appetizer station and 4 passed ones. We then had a salad and the main courses we had chosen. Our dinner was sit down except for the cake and the appetizer station. The cake was an easy choice- we had two in the running but the one we choose has won the food network cake challenge 4 times! It was so yummy and I am not a cake person!

After all those things were decided we had to do a save the date. We sent those out back in January I think.

I also in the midst of all of this had a few meetings with the Makeup Artist and Hair person. If you follow my videos I was not a fan of the makeup person. She was snippy and just not getting the look I was going for. The hair person was great though. I did 3 different looks for both and decided on a hair style and to do my own makeup (best decision I made.)

Next was invitations- We did that pretty quick we knew our theme and what we wanted it to look like, so then it was just getting them in and sending them out. We sat at my office conference room one Saturday and just put them all together and sent them out.

After we received all the responses back, which is fun, seeing what people can come and which can't and what they want to eat. haha! Then the somewhat hard part was seating chart, but having dealt with this before I have learned- take paper plates and post its and use the paper plates as the tables (# them) then put everyones names on a post it and then you can move them around table easier. This was super quick and easy way to get your table done.

Then on to the week before the wedding. We had decided to do a candy bar, so we had to go buy all the stuff for that and drop off all the table cards, candy, guest photo frame (we had everyone sign a frame and we are putting a wedding photo in it instead of having them signs guest book.)

After that was done it was just a better of waiting for the wedding. We did go up to our cape house the week before to make sure if there were any issues we were prepared. Mostly we just hung out with people that came in to visit.

The day before the wedding we had the run through at the venue. It was hotter than anything so we wanted to to go quickly since it was outside. Then that night we had the rehearsal dinner. My dress was to big and had to be pinned up, I had to laugh at this!

Then the day of- it was lots of getting ready and making sure everything was together, but mostly I relaxed, had a few people come and visit me at the house and to see the house if they haven't bee to it before. Then the storms started in! haha! I was like oh well can't win em all, but on the same note I knew that in the cape we have lots of flash storms. So everyone was watching the weather channel to see what was expecting. Keep in mind we had a back up plan in case it did rain. But the storm went buy after about 2 hours and it was beautiful again. The heat dried up the grass and we were on track.

One of the biggest hiccup's was that the motor coach we had left 8 people at the hotel and had to go back and get them, which put us behind 30 min- oh well.

We did do photos before the wedding (so we could enjoy the cocktail hour with our friends) so we actually saw each other and had a first glance on the dock by the ceremony location. he had his back to me and when I walked up he turned around to see me for the first time! It was great and so memorable and it was nice that it was just between the 2 of us instead of as I walked up the isle in front of everyone! It was special to us this way!

The day went by super fast and thank goodness for the wedding planner because she did keep everything on track.

There were a few things that went wrong and some things that happened in the wrong order but I went with the flow and just enjoyed every minute!

The BEST thing I can leave you with is to not worry about all the small things, no one will notice unless you make a big deal about them and make sure to savor every moment! oh yeah and a great photographer helps to relive it later! :o)

I hope you enjoyed hearing about the wedding and let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers-Lisa

Wedding Makeup and Photos

2011-08-24T11:43:00.026-04:00

Ok so it has been requested a ton of times for me to do a video on my makeup from the wedding.
I did decide to do my own makeup because I kept changing the look I wanted and the colors I wanted to use, so it is difficult to do that when you have someone else doing your makeup.
I will start posting my videos on here again and list what I am wearing in the videos also.
I hope you enjoy this.

Here are some of the pictures I put in the video also:

I hope you all enjoyed the photos and the video and I will try to continue posting on here!

Perfume and a bit of a rant

2010-12-08T13:49:00.004-05:00

Hi again all-

So I had the Viktor@Rolf Flowerbomb perfume the first year it came out. I remember liking it and using it up, but with everyone recently raving about it again my interest was peaked!

So on to the rant- I had gone on to the luuux site and tried it out for a while and I did gain a lot of point/dollars, however I was not a fan of how they changed their mind on how things were being run, how points were being given, etc so often. I feel if you are a valid company you should test everything out before you launch it. So that being said I decided to close my account.

This also came on because when I started on the site I was saving for a I-Pad which was around 30k points. So I had been loading and commenting etc to save up (which takes a while to do.) Well I decided to go on to look at the shop and see what they had that was new and to my surprise the I-Pad that I was saving for was now 46k points. So that combined with the whole lessening points etc I decided to find something to buy and cash out and close my act.

The only thing that I saw that I could get (and the point requirements for these things is crazy) was the Viktor@Rolf flowerbomb.

I was excited though because I remember liking it and don't remember why I didn't re-purchase, but with so many people talking about it I decided to give it another shot.

That being said it also took almost 2 week for my product to get here from luuux.

So I am interested in trying out again and I will keep everyone posted on how I like it compare to my other favs!

Cheers-Lisa

Wedding Dress

2010-12-03T12:39:00.005-05:00

Ok so as many of you know if you follow me on twitter- I got engaged in September and we are getting married in July 2011. So I am a super low maintenance bride. Most stuff is done. Booked the location, transportation, photographer, officiant, made the save the date magnets and have appointments for the week before New Years to do food and cake tastings.

So I went with my mom this week to "look at wedding dresses." That being said I left with my headpiece, veil, bra and dress ordered.

Funny it was the first one I tried on and it was the one I kept going back to. We are getting married outside at a beach club so I wanted something light and not hard to move around in for July! So here it is!

That being said I am not going to be putting many posts on here about this because I have most of it done- I want this to be done now so as the date approaches I can relax and enjoy it!

I hope you enjoy seeing the photo!

Cheers-Lisa

Long weekend

HI All-

For the rest of the weekend I will say I didn't do much but also got a lot done. I cleaned the house, got a massage and facial, watched lots of movies, caught up on YT videos and I taped a few videos!
So in that because I wasn't doing much I did not post to my blog! Opps- sorry!
I well get back on it this week!
I hope you all had a great holiday!
December will be gone before we know it- so enjoy!

Cheers-Lisa

Flat Boots

2010-11-23T14:03:00.004-05:00

So I have never been a flat shoes type of person! But this season with the new flat boots I was intrigued. So I went looking one weekend and everything i found was almost $200. For something I am not sure i will like I am NOT willing to pay that amount. So I went on a search and once again I ended up at DSW. can you tell that I love that place?

So I went in and found the boots shown above and can I tell you I am in love with them. These ones were around $39, but they are already getting scuffed up and since they are not real leather white is showing through on them. Which sucks, but at least I know I like them and I will wear them for this season- maybe fix them with some shoe polish.

So are you guys liking the new trend of these type boots?

Oh yeah and also I got these boots and another pair for just over $100 (well I had a coupon too) Cant beat that!

Cheers-Lisa

Neutral Wedges

2010-11-09T10:52:00.010-05:00

So I am totally loving wedges this season! They are so comfy and they are so cute!

This is a pair that I got at Bakers a little while back. I bought them in Grey and loved them so much I decided to go get a neutral pair. I think they were aroun$39, but I am not sure. You can probably still find them on their website.

I have been wearign some boots on the cold days, but days like today where it is BEAUTIFUL here and 60 I am totally up for wedges instead! :o)

So what are your favorite fall shoes.

Cheers-Lisa

New Toy

2010-11-08T16:18:00.003-05:00

So this weekend I was out and I have been debating the I-Pad for a while and I finally decided to get one.

It was a decision on size of memory and with 3G or without. So I have spoken with people I know that have these and the response was unanimous- wifi not 3G. Here in Baltimore 3G/AT&T sucks plus the contract is crazy. As you may be able to tell I am a true Verizon girl! Plus with the Wifi version you can get use the Verizon hot spot (carry it in your purse) and it is the same (if not faster) as the AT&T 3G. So after I made these decisions I went to get one. To my surprise they were sold out at the Best Buy, but another one close had one so they were able to hold it for me.

After getting it and getting it home (then syncing it with my itunes and outlook) it was up and running. So far I am LOVING it! I love it more than my laptop for YT, email is easy, web is great and the apps are amazing too! On twitter I got lots of recommendations on apps to try.

Also I was able to set up netflix's today also so I can watch any movie on it.

So the short of it is this thing is great- I will use it for many things including for work when I am on the road, however it is not a laptop replacement.

So what are your thoughts on these? Apps that you love, etc?

Cheers-Lisa

I received these products and gave them a try for a little over 4 weeks. Here are my before photos:

Review Sigma Eye and Blush Palettes

2010-04-30T11:28:00.005-04:00

Hi again everyone-

So this review has been requested by so many of you! I received these products from Sigma a while ago but it took me a bit to put the review up because I wanted to try the products out and really use them for a while first.

So to start with I want to mention that Sigma is a wonderful company and is so willing to answer questions of the consumers. They are on twitter and they actually get back to people who ask questions. That being said this is my opinion as someone who has purchased from them and been sent products by them! So this is not a one sided opinion of how they treat people I received the same treatment at all times! That shows what a great company they are! They also told me to give my 100% honest opinion on their products because that way they will be able to improve and make new products based on the consumers! That is awesome!

So here are the products:

Neutral Palette-

This is by far my favorite palette! As you know if you follow me I am a more neutral eye girl anyway- I might put a pop of color here or there but neutrals are my love! So when I saw this palette I was so excited! However the only thing that concerned me is that all of the colors were shimmer colors- no matte ones (this is true of all the eye pallets) So I used them and liked the colors but the shimmer and fallout were a bit much all together! I did find that when I used them along with other matte colors I liked them much more! however if you check out my video (I did an eye look only using the neutral palette) it is a wonderful look! Also for some reason this palette is not showing up on the website to buy on it's own! This palette is a must have for me and great for travel!

Smokey Eye Palette-

So this palette I gave a try a few different ways and I really liked the colors but they oxidized on me after a few hours! This happens to me with most greys! I will say however the Indian girl color in this palette is an almost exact dupe for the MAC discontinued sweet sienna pigment that is so desired! Overall this palette is a great palette if you like the grey smokey eye! It is not a MUST have for me simply because I am not a grey smokey eye girl!

Fun Eye Palette-

Ok so this one intrigued me- I liked the colors- especially the play with fire (bronze) color and the I got the blues color. I really like to use blue as a pop of color in the summer months under my eye and to bring out my blue eyes. As far as the other two colors- they are pretty but I am not someone who wears those colors very often! So this one is not a must have for me either!

Blush Palette-

Now this was a great surprise- I am a huge blush person and when I first swatched these I saw how pigmented they were but they had a good amount of fall out! I did find though after using them that when you use a brush and not your finger which puts to much pressure on the powder they work great! very little is needed. I put some one my brush tap it off and the payoff is amazing! And it comes with a highlighter! My favorites are Ruby Tuesday and the highlighter! They make a great combination! This one is a must have for me!

Overall I would give these palettes a 7 out of 10!

Another note these colors are named after Rolling Stone Songs! I think that is cool to!

Review Maybelline 24 hour super stay foundation

2010-04-27T20:16:00.002-04:00

Hi again everyone-
Sorry I have been a but MIA on my blog lately- we have been getting lots together for the summer house and I finally passed all my real estate classes/exams and I am starting with a new group on the 5th of May!
So this is my review of the maybelline 24 hour super stay foundation! I tried this so many different ways before I made up my mind on this. my final decision is that this foundation does not stay for 24 hours- it doesn't even really stay for 8 on me! I think the finish is a satin finish and the coverage is medium at best.
I know a lot of people really like this foundation but it just didn't work for me. if you are looking for a drugstore foundation I would suggest the neutrogena healthy skin foundation- it is a way better product for around the same money!
Overall I would give this foundation a 3 out of 10!
I hope this helps you and if you have any questions please let me know!

Cheers-

Review Revlon Photo Reday Foundation

2010-04-02T17:48:00.004-04:00

Hi all-

so this is a review of the Revlon photo ready foundation that has been a highly requested video.

Sorry it took so long but I changed the color at first, then I was testing different powders and just trying to see what the best results were for my skin.

So after a long trial period I found that this just didn't work for me. It was to glittery and shimmery in the sun- Some people don't experience this- I have heard it depends on how much you apply, but I have tried a very little, medium amount and a lot- and they ALL were to shimmery for me in sunlight! It is a shame because I really wanted to like it (or even love it.) Others have told me that mixing it with colorstay or a different matte foundation helps, but really I don't want to have to mix my foundation to make it work!

Overall I would give this product a 4 out of 10!

I did get an idea from a subscriber (bandybay868) to try using it as an under eye concealer and I really liked this. It gave a shimmer to lighten under the eye and it gave good coverage too, so if you have it and you don't want to mix another in and it just doesn't work for you like it didn't for me- give this a try!

So here is a picture I took on my hand against a black background in direct sunlight!

Also if you are a drugstore foundation lover- I have an upcoming video on a great dupe for NARS Sheer Glow!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers-Lisa

Review Benefit Lipsticks

2010-03-29T19:30:00.003-04:00

Hi again everyone-

This is a review on the Benefit Lipstick's. I have 2 of them! I think they are very much like the Revlon colorstay lipsticks and the clinique Buttershines or MAC slimshines in texture! I really like them and think they are a great product but I don't tend to purchase lipsticks anymore, since i have way to many! haha!

I overall I would give these lipsticks would be a 7 out of 10!

I hope you enjoy my review!

PS- My hair looks a mess in this video- it wasn't agreeing with me! :o(

Costal Scents HD Foundation

2010-03-24T15:45:00.002-04:00

Hi again everyone-

Sorry I have been MIA for a while- I was taking my real estate licensing classes, so I was pretty busy and I uploaded a few videos but didn't really have a chance to update my blog!

So here is my review of the costal scents HD foundation. i really like this foundation although I do not like that I have to use 2 colors in order to get the right color match. The foundation lasts well, has a great finish and is fairly inexpensive. However the color choices are really hard to match since they are only available online and the color selection is not that great.

Overall I would give it a 6 out of 10 mostly because of the color selection. If the selection was wider I would say it was an 8 out of 10!

So that's my two cents!

let me know if you have tried it or like it!

Cheers-

Products I have used up

2010-03-05T18:26:00.010-05:00

So I am not on project 10 or 5 pan- I am currently just buying things I am interested in trying until I finish at least 50 reviews on my list! But in the mean time I have finished up some products because I am using up items I have! Here are the ones I have recently finished!

Origins Multi Grain- this is a favorite must have for me! Love it!

Korres Olive and Rye eye cream- I really like this and this is my 2nd tube but I think I am going to try some new things out this time!

Alyria face cream in #2. I like this but I find that over time using it I can get the same results from exfoliation and a great moisturizer- I will stick with my RetinA from my dermatologist!

MAC lipstick in Spirit- this was a Limited Edition lip stick and I loved it for so long but now I have other favorites too!

The last item is my Urban decay Primer Potion. Just a little background on this. First I used it like it comes- then I took the stopper out (this worked for a really long time) then I did the hot water lip gloss trick and it pulled a lot up to the top and I was able to use it for a bit longer- then i finally broke down and cut it open (see pictures below)
However after taking to a lot of people on twitter and reading some info on cutting the packaging open on MUA I found out some interesting info. When you saw through the container with a knife you are cutting the plastic particles in to the product that is left in the container. So when you scoop it out in to another container yes there is product left BUT there have been people that got serious eye infections from doing this.
So for me I would rather buy another for the $18 (I already ordered one at sephora) than to chance an eye infection. the original bottle lasted me well over a year so I think I can handle buying a new one when I cant get to what is left in the container!

So let me know if you have any questions and have a great day!

Cheers-Lisa

Dr Brandt Pore No More Pore Refiner

2010-02-24T16:26:00.002-05:00

Hi again all-

So this is my review of the Dr Brandt Pore No More Refiner that can be purchased at Sephora. Overall I really liked this product. I would give it a 8 out of 10!

There are also other options out there such as the MAC Skin Refining Pore Perfecting Primer and the Clinique Pore Refiner also! I have tried both and the Clinique actually clogged my pores and the MAC and Dr Brandt did not.

However the Dr Brant is around 445 USD and the Clinique and MAC ones are around $20-25 USD and are half the size so depending on how much you are going to use they really are around the same cost!

I hope this helps you all and let me know if you have any questions!

Tutorial My Foundation Routine

2010-02-18T18:44:00.004-05:00

Hi everyone-

so this has been requested by me since I began making videos. I am not big on making tutorials because 1.) I cant edit 2.) It takes me like 5-6 times of taping it before I am happy with it 3.) I just don't have the patience and I never know what i am going to wear until i am sitting and putting it on! :o)

So this is my foundation routine- the products change ALL THE TIME!

What i used (all prices can be found online):

Sephora Anti Shine Primer

Chanel Pro Lumiere #30 Shell with the 197 brush

Smashbox Photo Op

Bobbi Brown Corrector in bisque with the BE Max concealer brush

Estee Lauder Max Coverage Creamy Tan

Benefit Powderflage with a sponge
Origins Multi Grain Medium with the Origins Brush

NARS Laguna with the MAC 138

MAC Cream Color Base in Shell

Cargo Tonga with the MAC 129

I hope you enjoyed this and please let me know if you have any questions.

Cover Girl Concelaer

2010-02-09T09:17:00.004-05:00

Hi again everyone-
So I was sent this cover girl concealer stick from a fellow YouTuber to try out and I will be honest I have never been a big fan of stick concealers. They always seemed cakey and to heavy for what i like. However I did find that by applying this with a brush it made a huge difference. I will give this a 6 out of 10!
You can find this at any drugstores and it is great as a blemish/scar concealer! It is fairly inexpensive and easy to find!
So here is my review- let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers-Lisa

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

2010-02-04T17:59:00.004-05:00

Hi again everyone-

So this is my review on the NARS Sheer Glow foundation that has been requested by many people. First I had it in color Ceylon and I did a review on it at that point I would have given it a 6 out of 10!

Then I went and exchanged it for the color Punjab (on the recommendation of juicytuesday- since we are the same color in the Chanel) and this has changed my opinion on this. I would now say that this product is a 9 out of 10!

I have been applying it with a brush (as I do most of my foundations) and I have now learned that this foundation is best used with your finger (it is supposed to warm the product up to melt in to your skin better- thanks to Aaron-awoz on YT) so i am going to give that a try tomorrow. I cant imagine it getting much better than it is now but I am willing to try it!

So here is my review!

Cheers-
Lisa
