My experience at Make Up For Ever and Sephora beauty shops

Published on November 11, 2009 in Beauty. 7 Comments Tags: concealer palette, dry skin, foundation, lip gloss, Make Up For Ever, normal skin, oily skin, powder, primer, shampoo, sponge, Too Faced.

Hi Girls!

Today I went to Make Up For Ever (MUFE) professional beauty shop decided to check out their goodies and to buy a new foundation. Almost 2 months ago I’ve bought All Mat Face Matifying Primer (I will review it shortly) from Make Up For Ever and since I was so pleased with it I’ve decided to buy the foundation from the same brand.

The shop was not very big (almost the size of my living room) but full with all the products of the new collection and makeup accessories. When I entered the shop the 2 makeup artists present there were very polite and they offered to help me right away. It was a pleasant surprise to see that they have makeup artists in the shop instead of beauty sellers like in other beauty shops and let me tell you that the difference was huge. They were really aware of all the products in the shop (at least of all that I’ve asked for) and they could also help you with makeup tips and advices . After checking out some of the new products I’ve stopped to look at the HD foundation and one of the makeup artist was glad to help me out.

I told her that I’m looking for a new foundation (for oily skin) and she invited me to take a seat at the makeup table, where she will test some of the foundation on my skin. Here was the first difference (in the positive way of course), because working with clients all the time she really knew what I needed and showed me the only 2 foundation fit for my skin type.

Since I knew that I was going to look for a foundation I didn’t put any makeup on my face (only mascara and lipgloss) so she started by testing the Mat Velvet Matifying Foundation (for oily skin type) after she used a makeup cream removal. Maybe in other countries is normal that when you are shopping for a foundation a makeup artist should assist you and test the foundation on your skin, but believe me that here this is not happening (most of the times sellers try the products on their own skin) and this was the first time when I’ve experienced this in my country and I felt great. I definitely told to myself that I will comeback since they were so professional in choosing the right shade especially since I’ve never tried their foundations before.

Expired Cosmetics are a danger for your health

Published on October 25, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: blush, expired cosmetics, eyeliner, eyeshadow, fragrance, lip gloss, lipstick, mascara, nail polish, powder, shapoo, shower gel.

Only one in four women consider the expiration date of her cosmetic products, according to dailymail.co.uk. Other women put their health at risk by using cosmetics for several years, even if they start to smell funny or discolor.

Old cosmetics are a real danger to our health. Like the food, cosmetics expire and are dangerous if we are still using them. Over time, following contact with skin, lashes, lips, etc.., cosmetics accumulate bacteria, which multiply and come again on the lips or your skin.

Most women completely forget when they purchased a particular product and use it well beyond the period of validity, which results in the appearance of infections. Most sensitive are the eyes, followed by the lips, whose crazing or cracking of the skin surface contributes to “install” bacteria and occurrence of infections.

Today I’m going to show you step by step how you can achieve the Make Up Forever Fall 2009 Look.

The “must haves” for this look are the violet and steel gray eyeshadows and the Aqua line waterproof pencils.

COMPLEXION

Apply HD Primer Pink # 7 ( $32 ) to freshen up the complexion. This primer will nourish and moisturize your skin making it soft and glowing and in the same time creates a barrier effect so that the foundation will not be absorbed by the skin. The HD Primer has an non-oily finish so this mean that you don’t have to wait a few minutes before applying your makeup.

Even if your are in bright or harsh lighting your complexion will look flawless, because the HD Foundation creates a soft-focus effect which was designed to meet the coverage concerns of a complexion in the spotlight.

Denim makeup – Saturday night makeup proposal

Published on August 29, 2009 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: Denim makeup, lip gloss, lipstick, mascara.

Once with Denim madness was created the term Denim make-up. By definition: Denim Make-up is the makeup technique that enhances the outfit made at least of one item of jeans.

After I tried to define (successfully or not) this very trendy makeup in 2009, now lets talk about it. I know it’s kind of bold makeup to try out if you are not used to use lots of makeup around the eyes. I also prefer more natural makeups but from time to time I like to go crazy and use some dramatic makeup. Come on is Saturday night, give it a try.

We need shades of gray and blue. Definitely metallic.The kohl crayon and eyeliner are also absolutely necessary. Start by coloring all the lid with a dark blue and the brow bone with a very light gray. Don’t be shy and use a lot of color. The result will be one to match. Use the Kohl crayon around the eye and in the end the eyeliner for the final touch. Finally apply mascara, but be careful and do not exaggerate, because the effect is given by the makeup. Lipstick has to be nude and matte, avoid the gloss.

You will finally get a Glam Rock perfect makeup for a Saturday night outfit!

Trend: discreet shine with Lancome Juicy Tubes

Published on August 10, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: fragrance, Lancome, lip balm, lip gloss, lips, Sephora, shea butter.

Lips that shines very discreet, attract attention without loading your look to much. You must know that particles that reflects the light make the defects even more visible, so lip’s exfoliating it’s a must. You can use a towel soaked in hot water, then apply a lip balm and a gloss with shining particles. My favorite is Lancome Juicy Tubes Pure ( 18$ ). It’s a natural, high -shine 15ml lip gloss that contains a mixture of Shea butter and naturally derived oils. Lancome Juicy Tubes Pure will condition your lips providing a rich color. It’s only available in Sephora and some of the shades are in limited edition. I love the Lavender Zen shade but next I want to try the Wild Berry ( dark berry color). You can also order online from their shop and check-out the new colors.

I’m usually a fan of lipglosses but what I love most about this one is that it leaves my lips super glossy and fragranced without being sticky. Lot’s of ladies tried Lancome Juicy Tubes and they quickly become a fan of this product raking it with 4,7 stars from 5.

How to give volume to your lips,

A little bit of color and a drop of shine…this is the recipe of a look that will make your boyfriend to wish to kiss over and over again.

Technique

Apply an illuminator above the natural contour of upper lips to create a sensation of deepness. I can recommend you Chanel Eclat Lumiere Highlifter Face Pen. You can find it in beauty shops available in two shades, beige rose and beige tendre-light. You can also use Eclat Lumiere to add radiance to your make and dark areas of the face. You can instantly see how it reduces the appearance of fine lines with an optical effect and lightens dark circles. It is a good product indeed but kind of expensive for some of us. Price is near 40 $.
