Revlon Photo Ready vs Loreal True Match Foundation

These are two of my favorite foundations.  I wanted to try both of them and tell you which one works best.  True match:
Pros:
Easy to match to your face.
Creamy not cakey
Coverage is almost flawless
Goes on smooth
Use very little, it goes a long way.
Love it on my clients, works well on every face.
If you go to Loreal website, they have great ways to help you find the right color for you. Super helpful!

Cons:
None!

This is $7.99

This is $8.99

Photo Ready is a great foundation also.  My sister likes this one a lot, and I do know makeup artist who use this.  The only difference between these two is the coverage. True Match covers a bit better than the Photo Ready.  Other than that they are pretty much the same foundation.  Between these two it really comes down to price, which both of them are a great price.

Let me know which one works better for you.

Next I am going to try Makeup Forever (professional makeup) and see if these will stand up to the "best" foundation you can buy.

One of the Most Important Things

Lips are on of the most important thing on your face.  I know a lot of people who don't wear lipstick on their lips because they are afraid.  I have been told that it is hard to pick out a color and when you get it home it does not look right.

The best way to pick out lipstick is to:

1. Start with one makeup brand.  Don't go and look at every makeup brand for lipstick, you will be overwhelmed.

2. Make sure you are looking at the right kind of lipstick......all day wear, moisturizing, or a stain.

3. When you find the brand you want to buy from, look at all the colors and pick three that your eye immediately does to.

4. Out of those three colors pick the color that you think would look good on you.

5. Don't go for big bold colors at first, ease your way into that.

Don't underestimate yourself on this, you will know which color looks good, trust your judgement.

If you have fair skin, then warmer colors will look best on you.

If you have Olive or darker skin, light colors will go best on you.

Just try some type of color on your lips, you will be amazed at how better your face will look
Remember that when you first meet someone your lips are one of the first things they see. 

Make sure they look great along with the rest of your makeup.

Honey Sugar Lip Care

I dont know about you, but my lips suffer all the time with feeling dry.  It does not matter if it is winter or summer I am always putting on chap stick!

I know of this product, it is a sugar lip stick, it cost about $25.00, ouch!  So I wanted to find a way to make my own.  I went on YouTube and found several different ways to make it.  I liked some better than others so I just used the ingredients that sounded best for me.

This is all you need:

1 tea spoon: Sugar
2 tea spoon honey
1/2 tea spoon Olive Oil
mix together and put in a air tight container.

You will just need a little bit to rub on your lips softly.  Rub in and then wipe off (Olivia opted to lick it off).

I plan on putting this in my bathroom and using every night.

Happy Kissing!

How to Help Dry Skin in the Winter

If you have dry skin like I do, winter is not fun for your face.   I hate it when I put on my makeup and have spots of dry flakiness (especially around my nose).  I have one solution for you... Mac Fix plus!  This to me is magic in a bottle.  You can do so many things with this product, but how I use it is....I spray the fix plus all over my face (not to much, just enough to cover your face) and let it dry, this only takes a few seconds to dry.  The I go ahead and put all of my makeup on.  After I finish with ALL of my makeup I again lightly spray my face (do not rub in) by spraying your face after your makeup is on, this product will set your makeup.  If you have a dry cakey look it will take that away. 

I use to put heavy moisturizing cream on my face every morning and night, but now all I do is use this in the morning.  How long will this bottle last?  I have had mine of almost a year and I do use the same bottle on my clients. I have not had to replace it yet.  To me this is a miracle in a bottle.  So for those who have dry skin, I really recommend this product, you wont be sorry!

What do you use on your face to make your dryness go away?  I really would like to know.

Need to Get Rid of Redness on Your Face?

We're excited to bring you another great article from BellaSugar, a fantastic source for beauty news, how-to's, celebrity beauty trends, and giveaways galore. Today, BellaSugar is sharing "Redness Treatments That Work Fast"...


Dry, ruddy-skin season is upon us, and if you have sensitive skin or naturally pink undertones, it can mean lots of unwanted redness all over. Not to worry, though, because there are plenty of quick, simple fixes that will get you looking nice and cooled-off again in no time; check them out.
1. Green tea — This stuff is an anti-inflammatory and it's packed with antioxidants to boot. Instead of washing your face with warm water, just brew some strong green tea (jasmine green is great, too), dilute it with cold water, and then use it to rinse your face. For extra power, you can also brew some superstrong tea and then pop it in the freezer to chill it for a bit before you use it.
2. Ibuprofen or aspirin — Yes they reduce a fever, but they also use similar mechanisms to get rid of redness. If you're not allergic, crush either up and mix into a little water until a paste consistency is formed. Then, simply spread on like a face mask, allowing it to sit for about 15 minutes.

3. Benadryl — Try an antihistamine, such as Benadryl; it'll reduce redness and reactivity in general.
4. Turmeric — This spice is highly anti-inflammatory, so just like green tea, putting it on can zap the redness right out of your skin. You can use it as a mask or poultice for gentle, all-natural dereddening.
5. Visine — Sure it gets the red out of eyes, but Visine works on skin, too. It's a vasoconstrictor, which means that it makes your blood vessels smaller and less visible, resulting in a less ruddy appearance.
