L’Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle

August 25th, 2011

If you like Maybelline’s Dream Matte Mousse foundation, then you’ll also like L’Oreal’s Magic Smooth Souffle. Similar in texture, it gives the same full coverage. Our favorite part about this makeup is that it makes your skin look flawless, but it actually feels light on the skin. And since this foundation has a great matte finish, you don’t have to worry about using a powder to set it. If you like a more natural coverage, then this foundation isn’t for you. For something lighter, try their True Match Super Blendable Makeup. It’s one of our favorites and you can start out light and build coverage to your taste.

Rimmel London Glam’Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara

August 23rd, 2011

These days you don’t have to choose between a lengthening and volumizing mascara. For example, Rimmel has a new product, Glam’Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara, that lets you have both looks. There is a double cap, so you can use the top cap for length and the bottom length for volume. We tried it and thought that the double cap was really neat to use. The volumizing formula was best for night, as it gave dramatic results but clumped up a little. The lengthening formula has a more natural look and separates the lashes better. If you want to use both formulas at once, we suggest using the volumizing first, and then the lengthening second.

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil

August 18th, 2011

Everyone knows that you’re supposed to protect your skin from the sun, but many people don’t protect their hair from harmful UV rays. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil protects your hair from heat and UV damage, and gives great moisture. What’s interesting about this product is that it weighs down your hair at first, and then your hair absorbs it and you end up with a better texture without losing volume. If you have damaged hair you’ll love it. Our favorite way to use it was as a protectant before flat iron use.

L’Oreal Youth Code Eye Cream

August 15th, 2011

We like companies that recognize that some people have the misfortune of having both under-eye circles and wrinkles. L’Oreal’s Youth Code line contains GenActive Technology, which is said to boost skin’s natural powers of regeneration. The eye cream in this line has a metal tip applicator which helps to de-puff under-eye bags, and the formula itself has micro-pearls which diminish the appearance of under-eye circles. We found this eye cream to be excellent for day. It’s not greasy so it goes well under makeup, and we found after continued use we had less problems with eye makeup settling in lines.
