Yves Rocher Plumping Sheer Gloss
Monday, March 22nd, 2010
If you can’t handle the irritants that are in a lot of plumping lip glosses, Yves Rocher’s Plumping Sheer Gloss is a great alternative. It won’t sting your lips, and has a great texture that doesn’t feel greasy or sticky. Our favorite part was the applicator. Instead of the standard sponge, this product has a lip brush so it’s easier to achieve the perfect pout. Want more fullness? Try putting on a lipstick, then a dab of gloss in the center of the lips for more dimension.

NYX Cosmetics Round Lipstick
Friday, March 19th, 2010
With real lipstick making a comeback, we’re putting down our lip glosses and reacquainting ourselves with intense color. We really liked Round Lipstick from NYX Cosmetics. It’s no surprise that it’s their bestseller. It’s a perfect blend that gives moisture but stays in place for the day. It fades nicely as the day goes on, instead of drying out the lips. What we loved the most was the $3.50 price tag. They have a vast selection of colors, so you can build your lip collection in no time.

CoverGirl Simply Ageless Foundation
Thursday, March 18th, 2010
For seriously aging or dry skin, we have found the real deal. CoverGirl Simply Ageless Foundation goes on smoothly just as all foundations do for dry skin. But the difference is that it doesn’t become trapped in lines, it stays suspended over your skin so your makeup looks like it’s just been applied all day. This foundation also contains a healthy dose of Olay Regenerist Serum and an SPF of 22, so the condition of your skin will improve as time goes on. We’re excited to know that we can get a product of this quality for aging skin without going to a department store.

Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows
Monday, March 8th, 2010
If you’re really into fun packaging, you’ll love Milani’s Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows. The unique looking palette contains 6 coordinating shadows with a pearlescent finish. They are easy to blend, and at around just $8 they are a great buy. To make your look last all day we recommend using concealer or foundation on the lids before using eyeshadow.

L’Oreal Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towlettes
Friday, February 26th, 2010
L’Oreal’s Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towlettes are hands down the best face cloths for removing makeup that we’ve ever used. These cloths remove all of your makeup instantly, and we even got great results with waterproof mascara. The cloths also exfoliate your skin and contain nutrients like Vitamin C so your skin is in better condition with every use. This is also a great option if you have sensitive skin and want to remove dead skin but don’t want the irritation that scrubs can leave behind. This is marketed toward women with aging skin, but we recommend this to people of all ages.

WetnWild Ultimate Brow Kit
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
If you like to keep your eyebrows perfect at all times, you’d really like WetnWild’s Ultimate Brow Kit. Its space saving package contains a mirror, a pair of tweezers, a hard angle brush, 2 brow shadows, and a wax for setting your brows. It’s very compact and won’t hog too much space in your makeup bag. For a natural look, we suggest using the darker shade to draw in fine hairs, and then the lighter shade to fill in sparse brows. We especially liked the wax for taming unruly brows.

CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
The concept of enhancing what you already have is always appealing. So we tried CoverGirl’s Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara. This line of mascara contains light reflecting metallics and a subtle tint that brings out blue, brown, hazel, and green eyes. Although we didn’t see a drastic difference as far as eye color enhancement, we really liked the formula. This mascara has a good balance between lengthening and thickening, and the brush left no clumps behind as promised.
