Milani Multitasker Face Powder
06 Medium Tan
I came across this face powder when I was looking for a dupe for the MAC mineralized skin finish natural. I was unable to get to the MAC counter at the time, so I began to seek out an alternative at the drug store, and came across this face powder. I have to say, it does the job! I don't wear foundation, so I use this face powder after I put on my concealer to make the transition smoother. If you're looking for a MAC MSFN dupe, I'd definitely recommend this product.
Retail price: $5.99
Physicians Formula Eye booster Eyeliner
Ultra Black
I first saw this product being used by a makeup guru on youtube (can't recall who), and it looked amazing. I went to Target to purchase it, and it has been Heaven sent ever since. Honestly, I have had this eyeliner for a while (it lasts for a very long time), and it hasn't failed me yet. It continues to give me the best winged eyeliner that a girl could ever ask for. At first, I thought the price was a tad bit expensive, but since it has literally lasted over 6months, I cannot complain!!
Retail price: $10.87
MAC Pro Longer Concealer
NC35
At first, I had a love/hate relationship with this concealer. Before purchasing, I looked up reviews and saw that most people really loved it. I purchased it, got home to try it, and clearly I must have the darkest under eye circles in the world, because I was not impressed with the coverage. So I went back to my Studio Finish. Then the lightbulb in my head went off!! Use it as a highlight Ebony (since it is 2 shades lighter than my complexion). So I layered it over the Studio Finish (NC45), and it is a wonder!! Its easy to apply since it is liquid, and a little does go a LONG WAY. Only downfall is, the pump kind of dispenses alot with one pump, so you have to be light handed when using.
Retail price: $17
Mehron Face Smoothie Sponge
I purchased 2 of these at last years Makeup Show here in Chicago, and honestly I never touched them. Not even on clients. Recently I was looking for an alternative to applying my concealer, since sometimes it seemed to crease. I decided to to reach for this sponge and give it a try, and it worked! No more creasing, and it gets in the small areas that my finger couldn't. I love it!
Retail price: Between $10-12
MAC Fix +
I purchased this last year at the MAC store, since it was sitting on a nice rack at the register (Its the travel size). I had never used it, until like 2 weeks ago. I decided to try it because I wanted my makeup to be set for the day. And it works! It set my makeup, and it looked fresh throughout the day. Now, I don't dare leave out the house without a spray, or TWO!!
Retail price: $10 for travel size, $20 for regular size
Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Blush
8312 Raspberry
I was a Black Radiance newbie, and came across the line in a Walgreens and decided to give them a shot. I purchased this blush, a mascara, and corrector/ concealer. While I was less than pleased with the other products, I was pleasantly satisfied with the blush. It is very pigmented, and a little goes a long way. Looks great when you have a neutral eye. Adds some color to your face.
Retail price:$4.99
FAVORITE MUSIC OF THE MONTH
I am a HUGE music fan. Bigger than makeup and fashion. Music is deep within. Seems like every few weeks, I have a new playlist. These are some of the songs I am enjoying the most. Click the link/video to hear for yourself!! (I am big on gospel, but I like smooth R&B as well.)
