Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Mascara

kristen — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:51:23 +0000

We’ve found mascara that isn’t so thick that it clumps but doesn’t have so much liquid that it smudges. We liked the Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Mascara creamy formula, because you can layer without clumping. This mascara also has a unique brush so you can actually comb through your lashes. The result is very natural looking; we suggest this product for when you’re going to be outside or for work.

Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer

Usually concealers thick enough to cover dark eye circles are creamy and not really appropriate for blemishes. We liked Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer because it hid our dark circles completely, but since it’s oil, talc, and fragrance free, we could use it on other imperfections. Now we don’t need two concealers- we can see why this product won beauty awards from Oprah Magazine and Marie Claire.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipcolor

We all know by now that sunscreen is a must, but many people are unaware of just how much to apply. You need about a teaspoon for your face, and a shot glass for your body. It’s a lot of rubbing in, but it’s necessary to get the coverage you need. And don’t forget to protect your lips. We like Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipcolor. It has an SPF of 15, and with 56 shades every woman is bound to find her perfect color. It also moisturizes like a lip balm, so you don’t have to worry about the heat parching your lips.

Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow

When you’re tired, adding a touch of shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eyes can make you look refreshed. A golden color is great for darker complexions, and for pale complexions try a silvery shade. We really liked the 50 Sunlit Bronze Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow Quad for the summer. Each shadow is marked with the best part of the eye to apply the colors. Best of all, it’s crease and fade resistant, a must in this hot weather.

Maybelline Shine Seduction Glossy Lipcolor

We were first drawn to Maybelline Shine Seduction Glossy Lipcolor by the slick modern packaging and unique applicator tip. However, we were pleased to see that what’s inside is just as great. We tried this 2007 Best of Beauty Award winning lip gloss in shade 720 Sunkissed. It’s a universally flattering bronze color that goes on sheer, while the formula’s aqua botanicals and Vitamin E helps keep lips smooth. Another bonus is that the gloss is light weight and non sticky.

Max Factor Vivid Impact Eyeshadow Duos

We love when packaging makes makeup easy to apply. Max Factor Vivid Impact Eyeshadow Duos allow you to use really intense eyeshadows without having to worry about mistakes. The dual sided eyeshadow tube gives you the perfect amount on the applicator every time so there is no mess. It’s no surprise that it’s the 2009 winner of the Life & Style Best of Beauty Award and the Star Superstar Beauty Award. This shadow is also easy to blend and layer; our favorite shade was 180 Emerald Coast. Stock up now, Max Factor products will not be sold in the United States anymore starting next year!

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Washable Mascara

kristen — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:53:50 +0000

If only all mascara tubes were the same as Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Washable Mascara! The innovative tube makes it so the brush has the perfect amount of mascara, so you can keep adding layers without getting clumps. Best of all, when you wash your face at night you don’t have to scrub your eyes or use elaborate makeup removers. This mascara comes out with regular soap and water. The mascara brush is especially shaped to help you define even the smallest lashes.

Tip: When using an eyelash curler, one squeeze as close to the base of the lashes as possible is all you need.

Max Factor MAXeye Liner

kristen — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:39:16 +0000

Max Factor (Maximilian Faktorowicz) was one of the first movie set makeup artists in the 1920’s, and created a line of cosmetics that has flourished for over 100 years. However, MaxFactor will no longer be on U.S. store shelves starting January 2010.
To avoid the shipping costs of buying Max Factor from overseas, you should stock up now. One of our favorite must haves from Max Factor is the MAXeye Liner in shade 100 Night Club. No smoky eye is complete without a dark eyeliner, and with this one you get a true black with one stroke. This pigment rich eyeliner is also self sharpening; you don’t have to lug a sharpener around in your makeup bag. We will miss seeing Max Factor in stores in the U.S., but fortunately, it’s a top seller in countries such as the United Kingdom and Russia.

Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Eye Pencil

kristen — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:32:43 +0000

Obvious makeup has no place poolside or at the beach. For women that HAVE to wear something, there is Revlon’s Beyond Natural Defining Eye Pencil. These soft pencils are very soft and easy to blend. If you’re into bronzer you’ll really like Shade 610 Brown. It’s a light bronze color that goes very well with neutral makeup

Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze

kristen — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 01:54:49 +0000

Everyone likes the way lipgloss looks, but it fades fast. Revlon’s first longwearing lipgloss, ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze, lasts for up to 8 hours. We tried it out and found that it didn’t wear off during the day, even after a lunch. More importantly, it didn’t strip our lips of moisture like typical long wearing formulas tend to.

The gloss stays on for so long because of its mineral complex, which seals the formula on your lips. Our favorite shade is Infinite Rose, which goes on sheer and has a nice grapefruit smell to it.
