March Favorites

I wanted to start off by sharing my current favorites (things I've used the most in the month of march) just so you can get a feel for who (or at least a small part) of who I am. But before I do that, I want to share a few things first...

I have normal skin and sometimes get blemishes when its "that time of the month" or for what ever reason. I wash my face daily and nightly. I consider my problem area to be under my eyes, i have what i consider to be very dark circles. its from heredity not lack of sleep! so my main goal has been to find the perfect product to 1: to get rid of them or 2: conseal them. so far i haven't had luck to get rid of them, but concealing has been only "ok".

so now let me share my favs (well, just a few):

-Origins Vitazing Moisturizer (its a wonderful daytime moisturizer that has a almost magical ingredient that acts like a tinted moisturizer and somehow matches your skin perfectly. it gives your skin a glow along with really evening out your tone.)

-Buxom Creme eyeshadow in mutt (its the perfect eyeshadow for when you're in a hurry and is a beautiful color..it also lasts all day)

-Clinique redness solutions foundation in calming ivory 03 (its medium to full coverage without having a heavyness to it and you don't have to use as much concealer when using it)

-mac cremesheen in creme 'd nude (its a beautiful nude pink color and it wont dry out your lips and has about a 2 hr "staying power"..for me at least.)

-maybelline one by one volume mascara (i have the waterproof formula...it does a really great job @ lengthening and volumizing)

-it cosmetics bye bye under eye in neutral medium (it has collagen along with vitamins c & k...so far this is the best @ concealing my dark circles by far! BUT its still not "the perfect concealer" that I'm searching for).


so my search still goes on....

next blog is "to make a youTube video, or not to make a youTube video..that is the question!"
