On my last trip to Sally Beauty, I found a display of Palladio makeup. Palladio has a full line of color cosmetics that are enriched with vitamins and minerals. Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm contains moisturizers and UV filters to provide long lasting color and protect your lips. It comes in eight different shades such as Berry, Bronze Pink, Rosey, and Cotton Candy. I chose the Berry color. It is very moisturizing and has a smooth texture. It gave my lips a hint of color that looked great! I also like the cute retro designed label. You can buy Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm at Sally Beauty or online for about $4.00.
e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine Spf 15 is a great find at a bargain price. This fun lip gloss comes in 10 awesome colors and protects your lips from the sun. e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine Spf 15 moisturizes your lips while giving them a tint of juicy color. It smells and tastes good, too! The watermelon (pictured) and juiced berry colors are my favorite. You can buy these gems on www.eyeslipsface.com , at Target, or other retail stores for about $1.00 each.
The Sonia Kashuk Travel Blusher Brush is essential for your makeup bag. It is so much better than traditional brushes that make a mess of your purse. The matching cover prevents your brush from getting damaged or dirty. It also keeps your cosmetic bag from getting makeup deposited all over the inside. The bristles are super soft and distribute powder evenly on your face. I use this for pressed or loose powder, mineral makeup, blush, and bronzer. You can buy the Sonia Kashuk Travel Blusher Brush at Target for about $9.99.
I have never found an eyelash curler that I was happy with. I even tried the “fancy” Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler at Sephora and couldn’t understand what the fuss was all about. It worked exactly the same way as all the other eyelash curlers I’ve tried – mediocre at best. After seeing the e.l.f. Mechanical Eye Lash Curler in many different beauty magazines, I had to try it for myself. It has a “special curved design” that supposedly works on all eye shapes. Consequently, I was able to curl all of my eyelashes at the same time instead of working in sections. It has a silicone rubber pad that allows your lashes to curl easily and evenly. The plastic covered handles are very comfortable and give you a steady grip. It only takes a few seconds of moderate pressure to have beautifully curled lashes that last all day. My eyes look more awake and my eyelashes look longer. The e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler works better than any eyelash curler that I have ever tried. The amazing part is that it only costs about $1.00 at most drug and retail stores! This is a must-have product at a super price!
L’Oreal Paris Visible Lift® Line-Minimizing & Tone-Enhancing Concealer is a great combination product to add to your beauty routine. This creamy concealer has a smooth texture and blends easily into the skin. It hides dark circles, minimizes puffiness, and adds radiance to the eye area. It contains powerful ingredients such as Hyaluronic, Pro-Retinol A, and Pro-Xylane™ to help reverse the signs of aging. My brother said I look younger since I have been using it. One of my favorite things about it is that it contains SPF 20 sunscreen to protect the sensitive eye area. You can also use this product to cover up blemishes. L’Oreal Paris Visible Lift Concealer comes in 6 different colors and costs about $9.00 at most drug and retail stores.
I have had a lot of difficulty finding a face powder at drug and retail stores that matches my complexion. I usually have to buy expensive department store makeup to get the right color. I decided to try Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Translucent Oil Control Powder. The Neutrogena product website claims that it “works on almost all skin tones”. This powder gave me a shine-free finish that was almost invisible. The consistency was very fine and blended nicely into my skin. This product looks very natural and is designed for people that only need light coverage. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Powder comes in three different varieties: Translucent Oil-Control Powder, Natural Radiance Bronzer, and Sheer Highlighting Blush. It is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. You can buy it at most drug and retail stores for about $10.00.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Lipgloss adds great color to your lips and stays on for a long time. There are 12 different shades to choose from. I used the color called Old Flame and it stayed on through lunch and dinner. I got a lot of positive comments about my lips while I was wearing this product. You have to be careful to follow the directions very closely so that it will dry properly and stay put. Once you apply the base color (step 1) on your lips, you have to let it dry for at least 2 minutes before you put on the top coat (step 2). You cannot blot your lips or rub them together while it is drying or it won’t stay on. You can buy Rimmel Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Lipgloss for about $7.99 at most drug and retail stores.
NIVEA A Kiss Of Flavor Cherry Tinted Lip Care is a great lip balm that adds a splash of color and a lot of moisture. This lip balm is made with natural ingredients such as almond oil and vitamin E to moisturize and soften your lips. The cherry flavor and smell is wonderful. This is another product that I want to eat. NIVEA A Kiss Of Flavor Cherry Tinted Lip Care gives your lips a nice hint of red color that works well for daytime makeup. There is also a Passion Fruit flavor available. You can buy this at most drug and retail stores for about $2.25.
