Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Eyeshadow

I recently received Kylie Cosmetics Matte liquid Eyeshadow complimentary of Influenster and Kylie Cosmetics. I recieved the shade, 2 Steps Ahead. This shade is a pretty rich brown with a subtle purple tint. The matte liquid eyeshadow comes in five shades.

When I tested the product, I dabbed a small amount onto a tray and took an eyeshadow brush and blended it out onto my eyelids. It was very easy to blend. The product has lots of pigment so its very buildable. A little goes a long way. It did not crease as promised and created a blurred matte look.

The 5 shades are all beautiful, but I hope more options are eventually released. The matte liquid eyeshadow does come at a reasonable pricepoint. This is definitely a product worth trying.

MAC Lipstick in Whirl

This is a creamy matte lipstick in a neutral rose shade. It is said to be great for all skin types, but I found it to be somewhat dull for my preference. I still use the lipstick to blend with other shades because of the nice tone combined with the long lasting wear of MAC lipstick.

If you are looking for a natural lip shade with just a hint of color then this shade will work well. The lipstick does not cake and is not too drying. It is a very blendable formula that you can achieve many looks with if desired. Adding a nice gloss like MAC’s lipglass is another great option.

This lipstick will definitely help you achieve that nineties lip trend and you may find it to be a staple in your personal collection. For me its is a bit too light, but many rave about this color. The quality is exceptional like many other MAC products. Buying this in the mini was the perfect way for me to experiment with this color.

Mac Studio Fix Concealer

I recently discovered the MAC Studio Fix 24 hour concealer. Ladies, where have I been? I fell in love with MAC Studio Fix foundation and decided to give the concealer a try.
This is a lightweight fluid concealer. It offers medium to full buildable coverage.

The concealer has a very light creamy texture. Light yet creamy enough to conceal. I found the Studio Fix concealer easy to spread and it gives a semi matte finish. It does not crease and settle into any corners and crevices.

I am loving the natural look of this MAC concealer. Whats nice is it has a slight blurring effect. This concealer is great for those of us looking for a concealer to use under the eyes and for complexion as well.

It has great pigmentation, spreads well, and has staying power. So far this is my go to concealer for now. What is your go to concealer? Please share in the comments below.

Pureology Smooth Perfection

My hair is naturally curly, but I like to wear it very smooth and straight. I get Brazilian Blowouts every ten to twelve weeks. The Brazillian Blowout Shampoo and conditioner are great. I still use Brazillian Blowout styling products, but for my thick curly hair, Pureology Smooth Perfection shampoo and conditioner smooth my hair out the best.

Pureology Smooth Perfection shampoo and conditioner tame the frizz and calm my hair. The formula has shea butter to smooth the hair and sesame oils to keep the hair hydrated. Also in the formula is Camelia oil to fight frizz at the very source.

This unique compound also contains an exclusive Thermal Anti-fade complex to keep the hair shiny and healthy. The Pureology line is sulfate-free and helps maintain color and chemically treated hair. After washing, conditioning, and styling, my hair is a lot smoother and sleeker. I would definitely reccomend this product for those who want to tame frizzy and or color/chemically treated hair.
