Lipstick -Maybelline - Color Whisper in Pin Up Peach
2lilmonkees 2/14/2013 6:27:00 PM
I'm obsessed with this beautiful peach color! This is my 1st whisper and I adore it! I love the gloss look it gives off and my lips feel great with this on too! Im NC20-25 with pigmented lips n this is a score! These r more pigmented than Revlons lip butters, which is great for this new to lipstick girl. Love the formula of these lil guys, next I want Lust for Blush.

I only use this brush to highlight my cheekbones and to apply my bare minerals well rested under my eyes. Pure greatness!! Great pricem great quality too. Yes I did have to super glue the 2 pieces back together, but that doesnt bother me at all and no shedding after multiple uses. :)

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Naked Palette
2lilmonkees 12/31/2012 1:24:00 PM
I got this in Sept. for an anniversary gift. Been eyeballing this beauty for awhile now, and my Hubs finally picked it up for me. So many different looks and I just love it. I YT looks so I can utilize my palette to its full content. Just adore this guy and I picked up the original Naked palette bc Im more warmer toned and the 2nd palette is cooler toned. Both r beautiful! The price is a bit stiff to spend at 1 time, but U r getting a dozen colors for $50. Cant go wrong if u save a minute for it. :)

2lilmonkees 12/31/2012 1:12:00 PM
I got this for Christmas & Im loving the setting/glowing factor of this guy!! No sparkle or glitter, which is a must for me. I love the aftereffect of this lil guy. I do my undereye concealer(maybelline dream lumi) and my regular concealer around my nose(maybelline fit me) then use a smaller fluffy brush get some of this product and dust under my eyes. Loving this lil gem. Really makes my eyes look awake and pop! Great investment.

Brows -E.L.F. - Eyebrow Kit
2lilmonkees 12/31/2012 1:02:00 PM
HG brow product. Granted this is the 2nd product Ive used for my brows, but this just WORKS for me. Im dirty blonde naturally and my brows r dark brown and full-ish(?) so I can get away with the medium kit. The gel goes 1st and the powder sets it. Love the brush it came with too. & there is a lot of product so it will last awhile. LOVE!!

Sunscreen -EltaMD - UV Clear SPF 46
2lilmonkees 7/28/2012 1:10:00 PM
HG SS for my face!! No breakouts for me, if not made it better. I bought dames off eBay 1st to make sure it was all good for my acne/clog prone, sensitive, oily skin. Yep no issues. Been using this over a yr now, purchased a couple times now and still go thru eBay as well. I agree with another not knowing when exactly I will run out so after about 3 months I just purchase another bottle and within the wk I'm needing the new bottle. Love this stuff, I put a good amount on bc it just sinks in to your skin with no oily/greasy finish. My face is pale, while the rest of me is getting pretty good color, which is how I like it. :)

Crème -Revlon - ColorStay Whipped Creme Makeup
2lilmonkees 7/13/2012 7:48:00 PM
***UPDATE 12/31/12 Still obsessed, went thru summer & now Im well into CAs version of winter and still amazing. I dont use a primer, I just use my sunscreen as my primer. Ive also heard some spray MAC Fix+ on face as their primer. I use my new Sigma face brush, and i get a flawless look ALL day. No powder to set my fave bc they all make me oily or breakout, still on the hunt. I do set my underye concealer with BE well rested. Oh and I just ran out of this stuff. Getting 1 tomorrow. :) Great great product!! ***UPDATE*** Still loving this stuff! No breakouts or clogged pores. Adore it!!! :) Ive tried this on 3 times already. So Im not completely sold on this yet bc i do have sensitive, acne & clog prone, pretty oily skin. I use my sunscreen(elta md) then my primer(fyrinnae) then this with my fingers. Im loving this stuff so far! My sensitive skin would have already had a reaction to it, so thats good. Just wanna make sure acne & clogging dont happen now. It is super muggy out these past few days, so Im really putting it to the test. I wore it for about 7 hrs yesterday @ Sea World, muggy/humid, rainy and down by the ocean as well. Held up like a dream. Only my nose was a lil shiny when i looked in the mirror at home. I do have a dewy kinda look after a couple hrs, but nothing oily looking @ all. Def. approve so far & really hope this works for me. I was in love with MUFE Mat Velvet+, but not this past summer. Oily as can be. So I was actually using the regular Colorstay oily/combo, but it was a lil heavy for my summer liking & really didnt fight my oil quite like the whipped is! Its a lighter feeling yet has medium-buildable coverage IMO. Im NC25-30 @ my lightest, but since I have a lil color right now Im using Medium Beige & its a perfect fit right now. The jar has already been dropped, but no breaking or cracking(yet) so not crazy about it, but it works with the thickness of this fdtn. So im actually fine with it.

Skincare - Face -MAC - Fix+
2lilmonkees 2/3/2011 2:09:00 PM
Oh my lord this stuff is amazing!!! As already stated below millions of different ways to use this stuff. I use it as a makeup setter & darker e/s payoff. For the e/s i spray it on the brush get it wet & then dip in e/s pan and the color is darker and richer, all day. The main way i use this this is after all m/u and b4 my mascara i spray 2-3 times and let mist all over my face. My routine: DDMG on patchy/dry areas since its winter, Fyrrinae primer all over face, liquid foundation, concealer, translucent powder, cheeks n eyes and before mascara stop & spray, then mascara. This makes my makeup go from powdery finish to airbrush look. It makes the m/u look like its MY skin. Not all the fdtn n powder i just put on my face. It has a dew finish, but not dramatic, just a perfect kissed glow. Im oily so im not lookin 4 a real dewy finsih, but this is beautiful. Also my main rave is that i wore this out yesterdat 2 an all day trip to Disneyland and not once did i have to blot bc i was oily. There was no oil on my face the Whole day!!! i was in love instantly. It keeps the oil away 12+ hrs easily! Love Love Love this stuff! Cant wait til summer so i can Test that really oily season :) Oily girls need this stuff!!! will rebuy 4 ever!

Primer/ Corrector -Fyrinnae - Velvet-Gel Silica Primer
2lilmonkees 1/27/2011 2:12:00 PM
Just received my 2 new tubes of this. HG primer 4 my oily/acne prone skin. This makes me less oily throughout the whole day. I use MUFE mat velvet+ fndt right now. so im pretty matte which i love :) No streaking or swirls showing up from my stippling method, so im pretty happy w/my primer. :) Also the new packaging of the tubes is awesome, instead of the tub u stuck ur finger in. Try the samples 1st if ur hesitant, but oily girls should really try it!

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Coralista
2lilmonkees 1/6/2011 1:47:00 PM
Ive been watching this blush 4 awhile now, and when i got a lot of my Sephora points built up and my bday gift i finally got this 4 free. The box is horrible i hate the package but i look over that. Brush is bad, use my own. Slight fragrance altho no irritation 2 my sensitive acne prone face. This just makes me glowy, i love it. Wakes up my pale winter face quite nicely. Easily buildable or easily light. Wont need 2 repurchase bc i barely use any of the product, but a great great free blush. I use this daily right now, over my MAC blushes. Lovin the color 4 sure. peachy/coral.
