Lipstick -Clinique - Long Last Lipstick - Beauty

I love love LOVE this lipstick!!The color is very natural and basically looks like your lips but better.It gives a nice sheen and is very creamy,which makes it feel really nice on the lips.I find it also very moisturizing and it NEVER sinks into the cracks and lines of my lips. I also think this works fabulously as a cream blush for amy skintone!Its so versatile.I just dot about 5 dots of the lipstick onto my cheeks and blend it out with my fingers or sometimes with a stippling brush.It just makes me look alot more awake and alive and lasts a very long time! Hope this helped and I totally recommend this lipstick to anyone and any skintone!:)

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Erase paste
krysiaheartsbeauty 7/27/2011 8:43:00 PM
I bought this concealer after doing TONS of research and hearing TONS of awesome reviews from MUA and Youtube.I am always on the hunt for a good undereye concealer,and hearing all these great things about Erase Past made me buy it.Now let me say I have been through alot of trial and error with this product.I really went through alot to find a way that worked for me and it still is not the best.When I first got this product,what the lady at Sephora told me was that its made for dry skin.I personally have kind of combination skin but its definitley more on the dry side.So I put it on with only some tinted moisturizer on and it wasn't on my eye area.So I first applied it with a MAC 194 concealer brush.The very first thing I noticed was it had excellent coverage and it was very creamy.But only after a few minutes was when I noticed it was creasing like crazy and it was very cakey and was just enhancingmy dry skin.Dissapointed,I shoved it away into the pits of my makeup collection and forgot about it.I brought it out about a month or 2 later after I watched a video of HelloKatyxo and in that video she applied it with her fingers and it looked flawless on her.So of course I brought it out again and applied it with my fingers in a patting motion.Did the same thing as last time.But I really wanted to like the product so I made it my goal to find out a way to use this product that worked for me.So overtime I found some ways that worked some ways that didn't.Sone things I learned overtime about the product are: •Don't apply too much or else you will get super cakey since it is a very creamy,thick consistency.And you don't need alot anyways becayse it does have alot of coverage and blends out nicely. •Use your fingers!I find that the product is almost too thick to be able to blend out with a brush.You definitley need the warmth of your fingers to melt it into your skin.I you use a brush its just gonna sit ontop of your skin screaming"I am wearing concealer under my eyes and its super cakey and obvious!"And you don't want that. •Use a good moisturizer before if you have dry skin and apply it onto the area where you will put Erase Paste.I find when this product goes onto dry skin,it just makes your skin look worse and very cakey and cracked.When it goes onto more moisturized skin it goes on a lot smoother and doesn't get cakey.It might crease a bit but in my experience,it hasn't with the moisturizer on. •Don't pat with your fingers.Definitley swipe gently.When you pat it doesn't really blend and melt into your skin as opposed to swiping. •Don't use powder!Infact don't use powder ever over a thick concealer unless the powder is amazing and never gets cakey.When you put powder onto a more dryong product like this,even when you have a moisturizer on,atleast for me it just makes it look dry and cakey again. •You need a primer.Really you do.This product is defintley not long lasting you and I suggested not using a powder to set it,you need something thats gonna make it sticl to your face.Some great primers are BeneFit Girl Meets Pearl and Smashbox Photofinish Light.Sometimes in the summer,I even find that a good sunscreen works perfectly fine as a primer.I like the Coppertone Sport Ultra Sweatproof Sunscreen which is also waterproof.It doesn't make me greasy at all so don't worry about that. Overall I probably won't be repurchasing this,even though I have found a decent way to apply it,it was a real hassle to find that way to apply it and its still not the best way.Its for sure not HG so I don't see the point of spending 30 more dollars on something that was just okay.But I do love the packaging though!Its really cute. Hope this helped!:)

Concealers -Cover Girl - TruConceal concealer
krysiaheartsbeauty 6/17/2011 11:44:00 PM
Basicaly I was (and am) so in love with my Covergirl NatureLuxe foundation, I saw this in the store and decided maybe it could as good as my foundation>I was wrong.WRONG.WRONG.WRONG.When I first opened the bottle, it smelt horrible.My thought as it smelt like old,not blowed up ballons and plastic. Gross!I first put it on with a concealer brush, for I thought hey,maybe since it says its so blendable, I wont have to use the warmth of my fingers to dissolve it into my skin.And btw I was using this under my eyes.Anyways,I tried to blend it out with my brush and it did not work at all.It basically sat on my brush and didnt blend at all into my skin.So I decided maybe I will just use my fingers.I was actually being quite nice to this product.So I attempted to blend it,and it blended more then it did with the brrush but it didnt just dissolve into my skin, like it claims to.It sat ontop of my face, and looked cakey, dry and only after a few minutes, it started settling into fine lines and creasing terribly.So I decided to just put it away and maybe try it again in a couple of weeks.So after 2 weeks, I pulled it out of my vanity, put it on.And the excact same thing happens.But worse.I decided to wear it for just like a half an hour to see what happened.It owre off after 20 minutes and my whole undereye are was puffy,bright red,dry and itchy.Thats what drew my last straw with this.It took about a week for my eyes to heal and immdiatley I threw this in the garbage.WORST CONCEALER I HAVE EVER TRIED.Please spare yourself before you by this and waste your money.THIS CONCEALER SUCKS.Thats basically all. Hope this helped!:)

Blush -MAC - Sheertone Blush in Blushbaby
krysiaheartsbeauty 6/17/2011 11:31:00 PM
I remember this being the very first blush I got from MAC when I was about 12 or 13. Now I am 16 and I am still repurchasing this blush to this day.Yes I love shimmery peachy blushes and they look nice but for a more natural look this is AMAZING!Somebody said this in a review already but it basicallly looks like your cheeks, but better.It looks matte though, but if you look closely, you can see just really tiny spread out shimmers that are not noticable AT ALL when you wear this blush. When you put it on it looks totally matte and it just makes you look like you are just naturally rosy. As well, you can also easily build this up for a more pinky look, so it is somewhat versitile.Overall I love this blush and will keep on repurchasing this until the day they discontinue it>I would reccomend this to younger girls, just starting out with makeup, because you dont want to look like you mixed pink lipstickk and glitter together then put it on your cheeks. Hope this helped!:)
