CoverGirl TRUcheeks Blush
February 10th, 2011
We are fans of the CoverGirl TRUblend line, which is a line of cosmetics that adjust to go with your skin tone. Once you know what your foundation is, there are corresponding concealers, pressed powders, and blushes marked with the same number as your foundation. It eliminates the amount of time many of us spend in the drugstore aisle staring at products and trying to figure out the right shades. TRUcheeks blush has a palette of 3 complementary colors that are meant to be mixed to get the perfect shade you want. However, if you’re like us and like a contoured look, you can you use the lightest color to highlight your cheek bones, the mid-color for the apples of your cheeks, and the darkest color for the hollow of your cheek.

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm
February 7th, 2011
If you hate the feeling of wearing lipstick but still want color you would probably like Revlon’s Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm. The feel is as if you’re just wearing chapstick, and the color lasts all day long. The stain looks great and lets you have color without looking too ‘done’. You apply the stain first and give it some time for the color to set. Then you apply the balm, which contains Vitamin C. Our favorite part about this is that it’s goof-proof – no leaving lipstick on cups or worrying about it smearing after eating. There are ten different shades so you can choose how natural you want to make your look. Our personal favorite was Beloved, which is a very flattering shade of berry.

Revlon Top Speed Nail Enamel
February 4th, 2011
Painting your nails takes no time at all but waiting for them to dry can really be a drag. We tried Revlon’s Top Speed Nail Enamel, which promises to dry in 60 seconds, and thought it was a great formula. With a base coat and two coats with polish (doesn’t everyone use two coats?) it took longer than one minute to properly dry. But the polish definitely set in record time. The colors in this line of nail polish are very rich. Our favorite was Jelly, which is a vibrant pink shade.

L’Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Compact Makeup
February 1st, 2011
Talc is a filler that is in a great deal of cosmetic products. However, many women are allergic to talc and dermatologists usually recommend talc-free products. It should be easy to find talc-free makeup in a drug-store but it’s actually not! In a search for talc-free makeup we found L’Oreal’s True Match Super-Blendable Compact Makeup which has no fillers and is oil free! This product seamlessly blends with your skin and is said to have light to medium coverage. However, we found it to give a medium to heavy coverage with layering. What we liked the most about this makeup is that even with layering it feels pretty light. It also has a SPF 17 to help protect your skin from sun damage. There are 18 shades to choose from in warm, neutral, and cool tones.
