I'm in love! I'm NC20 & wear this in 10. I used to use MAC MSFN but that started settling into my fine lines & looking cakey. THis powder photographs like a dream & makes your face look flawless. I'm so happy I discovered this. It is pricey but it lasts a long time!

Cleansers -Clean & Clear - Deep Action Cream Cleanser
rated 5 of 5
katemvirginia 4/4/2013 7:36:00 AM

I used to use this in my early 20s & decided to give this a whirl again. I was tired of wasting $30 on cleanser. I've been testing out past month on my super dry/acne prone skin & this does NOT dry me out or break me out. It helps me keep a clear face. I love this stuff & will never stray again! plus I love the refreshing feeling when you remove it. :) For $5 this is a steal!

Liquid -L'Oreal - Visible Lift Serum Absolute Advanced Age-Reversing Makeup

When I first put this on I LOVED it. I wore it on NYE & it photographed well. After a few hours I noticed it was patchy near my chin & made all the fine lines around my eyes VERY noticeable & I really dont have that many. This is a bummer because I really wanted to like this & find a great drugstore product. Im NC20 & 144 was a perfect color match. I bought Lumi as well so I'll see how that one goes!

Liquid -Illamasqua - Skin Base foundation

First off I am acne prone normal to dry skin. I'm NC20 & wear shade 4.5 & it is a perfect match! I use my flat top kabuki from sigma & it is PERFECT for this. You have to be careful when applying. This stuff dries super fast! I only do one section of my face at time. I wait to put foundation on other sides of my face until I'm ready. This blends into my skin so well. It makes me look flawless & not cakey pretty natural looking & photographs very pretty. I have pretty pink cheeks & most foundations fade by the time I leave work & this stuff last all day & is easy to remove at night! This is my new HG! I've been looking for this all my life! It comes in a smaller bottle but you are using WAY less product than you normally would. A+++++

Tools -Christian Dior - Dior Show Heat Curl

I received this for free with my Sephora order last week. The green light never goes on but that is OK because the heated part still works & it is more than hot enough to curl my lashes. This makes my lashes crazy long & curled! I love this thing plus it is SO easy to use! :)

These are amazing! They help the moisture under my eye by filling up my under eye lines w/ moisture & helping the dark circles! You can reuses 2-3 times if you store properly too :) LOVE these!

THis is my new HG Foundation! I'm nc20 & wear 140 Ivory. it covers my old blemish marks well & I only need one pump. I normally set w/ translucent powder. Photographs great too & easy to take off at night. I'd say this is a dupe for Face Atelier. This wears all day & doesn't fade. I'm so happy this is a perfect match for myself! People tell me I look like a porecelain doll when I wear this :)

I'm glad I got this. I was interested in trying one of the clay blushes. I'm NC20 blonde/blue-gray eyes for reference. This wears well on my pale skin. It has a slight glow as well. so pretty & easy to use!

Primer/ Corrector -Cover FX - eye prep
rated 5 of 5
katemvirginia 4/13/2012 7:41:00 AM

This stuff is amazing! I got a sample in my beauty army kit & ended up loving it so much I bought a full size from Sephora. This makes my concealer last all day with no touch ups! I've never had another product help like this before plus you only need a little dab for both under eyes! The price is a bit $$$$ but it is worth it to me.

I got a generous sample of this in my beauty army kit. I LOVEEEEE this! I have very thick coarse hair that I blowdry/flat iron 2x week. This completely changed my hair. Made it so soft & look so healthy! THat is hard to do since my hair is so dry! I'm definately going to buy the FS bottle now. I left it on my hair for 5 mins or more. :) Gotta love kpak!

This is such a pretty color! I wear with a basic nude eye or gold/bronzey look. I have gray-blue eyes & this really makes them even prettier plus I get compliments when I wear this & you cannot beat the price!

I love this stuff! I was an avid KS user. I decided to try these on a whim & am so glad I did. I have thick coarse hair that I blowdry straight 2x week. I love this along w/ the smooth poo & it works well for me. :) It saves me A LOT of $$$!
