Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

After having done reviews for eyeshadows, lipstick and blushes, I thought its time for a foundation and I didn't have to think twice about which one to choose. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Liquid Foundation has been my favorite foundation ever since I got it 2 years ago and is my go-to foundation for formal occasions or also on bad skin day when I want a perfect flawless base. 

Revlon Matte Lipstick in 003 Mauve It Over

Matte lipsticks are back with a bang. I've always been partial to a good matte lip. This particular line from Revlon has something for everyone, whether you're a nude lips girl, to a hot red one. There are a couple of beautiful reds in this collection. But my personal favorite is the one called Mauve it Over. The name sounds so cute.

Setting Your Makeup

So after getting the perfect makeup for an event, you'll obviously want to set it so that it lasts you for a good six to eight hours. The best way to do that is to set it either with a translucent setting powder (white) or with a setting spray. The reason you don't want to set it with a pressed powder or colored loose powder is because all that hard work you put in to get the intensity of everything just right can change quite a bit by adding on more color at the end. Translucent powders will not do that, neither will setting sprays that are all the rave these days.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist and Chanel Crystalline Powder

NYX Eyeshadow Bases in Skin and White

We all know how eyeshadow primers help prolong the wear of eyeshadow and make them more vivid, it's been written to death on all makeup blogs...and they really are great. These are a couple of gems from the drugstore at a very reasonable price.

NYX Bases in Skin and White

They do one white one that has some shimmer in it as well. But I opted for these two.

Makeup Regrets

Usually I don't have products I don't like because I do a lot of research before buying them. However, sometimes I have had the bad luck of bringing home a product with great expectations in mind, only to be disappointed because it was not all that it was hyped up to be or worse, it could not work for me.

I love reading about other people regrets also, it has helped me make more informed decisions as to invest in a product or not. So I thought it would be fun to do one myself.

So lets dig right in....

Benefit Eye Bright Jumbo Eye Pencil

Sometimes, I like putting a white toned pencil in my inner rims to make my eyes look more wide awake as opposed to black kohl which is more intense. I've been using this jumbo pencil for a while now and thought I like the product itself, I do have some issues with it also.

Noe this is a slightly pink toned pencil. I believe they do one which is more flesh toned and beige called High Brow.
