WetnWild BeautyBenefits Dual Effects Lip Pencil
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
The WetnWild BeautyBenefits Dual Effects Lip Pencil glides on smoothly and blends well, but they also added something extra. On the other side of the pencil there is a balm that plumps and conditions the lips with botanical extracts. All of the lip pencil colors are natural looking, matte shades (we liked the Raisin shade the most). The order of operation is balm, liner, then lipstick or gloss. We don’t suggest trying to use the liner all over, it’s a bit too dry to try to use it as a lipstick as well. The balm has a nice lightweight texture that went perfectly under our lip color.

Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Bronzing Veil
Saturday, November 14th, 2009
Bronzer is now a part of nearly every woman’s make up routine, but if worn incorrectly it can look muddy or altogether fake. Most people look their best in a yellow based matte powder without sparkles. Physican’s Formula has such a bronzer; their Organic Wear
Bronzing Veil not only gives your skin a natural tan glow, it has a ton of benefits as well.
Women with sensitive skin or acne are going to love this. The bronzer is free of harsh chemicals, synthetic preservatives or colors, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. 100% of the ingredients are natural. Organisoy evens out skin tone and texture, and Eco-Olive serves as an anti-oxidant to protect your skin from the environment. You don’t have to worry about the powder drying all out your face; safflower seed oil and jojoba seed oil moisturize the skin. We actually noticed a visible improvement in our skin the same day we used it.
If you are as impressed by the improvement in your skin as we were you might want to also try the Translucent Organics, which you can wear all over by itself or to set your foundation. Organic Wear Bronzing Veil is packaged in an automatic flow through natural goat hair brush, with a mirror on the cap. When applying, use small circular motions. First apply a light layer to your jawline and hairline. Then sweep it on your cheekbones, bridge of the nose, forehead, and chin. Putting a tad on the neck makes the effect a lot more natural. After you make sure everything is blended, apply powder blush on the apples of your cheeks and voila you have a sun kissed look!

L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lash Extension Effect Mascara
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
If you’re lashes are your favorite thing to enhance you’ll love L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Lash Extension Effect Mascara. The dual sided tube contains a base coat and a regular mascara. First you use the base, which goes on sheer even though it’s white. Infused with Ceramide R and D Pathenol, the base coat conditions your lashes so they’ll actually look better over time. The mascara promises to make your lashes 80% longer. We got longer length, but what we liked the most about this product is that we could wash the mascara completely off, with no eyelash casualties (less lashes lost is always a plus)! L’Oreal’s Double Extend Mascara didn’t smudge or smear; even after a workout.

WetnWild Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette
Friday, October 16th, 2009
Quality eyeshadow has never been so affordable. We have found the perfect palette of colors for the Spring! For around $5, the WetnWild Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette has 8 long wearing eyeshadows. Fantasy Island 398 is our favorite shadow combination this season. It has vibrant hues that will match any spring wardrobe, and also includes a matte selection of brown and cream (reminiscent of the Bobbi Brown best selling shadow, Bone).
There is a generous amount of eyeshadow in this palette, and it also includes a mirror. The shades are meant to complement each other, and they are crease resistant. Try using a synthetic brush to apply the dark brown or green shadow for a soft but unique look.

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact
Friday, October 16th, 2009
When you have very oily skin powder foundation stops the grease fest in its tracks. We liked the Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Compact because of its light feel and multiple benefits. The powder has an SPF 20 and antioxidants to protect your skin from aging. It’s also fragrance and oil free. You can get sheer to medium coverage with this powder. We liked using the sponge applicator, but for full coverage we took a big powder brush and used it to set our liquid foundation.

WetnWild BeautyBenefits Beauty Brilliance Eye Shimmer Stick
Thursday, October 15th, 2009
Many matte lovers balk at highlighters, finding shimmer to be cheap and obvious. However, when applied correctly, a quality highlighter can make your face look naturally luminous.
The WetnWild BeautyBenefits Brilliance Eye Shimmer Stick is like a super product. You can use it as an all over eyecolor, eyeshadow base, or as a highlighter for your brow bone.
We tried the shade Pink Peony (there are 6 shades available). Its’ subtle iridescent color made our eyes appear brighter and prettier. No unnecessary glitter in this creamy product at all. We were already happy enough with how the shimmer stick made our eyes look, but became serious advocates when we discovered that this shimmer stick has ingredients that prevents age and boosts hydration. It’s also crease and water-resistant so you don’t have to worry about how long your look will last.
Our favorite way to use this shimmer stick was to put it on our eyelid as a base color, then dust a dark shadow in the crease. The shimmer stick made the shadow look richer, and last longer too.
