Bye Bye Bronzer




Now that it is officially Fall..it is time to PUT AWAY THE BRONZER!! I am guilty of using bronzer year-round but after watching a recent segment on E! I decided to really give blush a try.




I have naturally red in my skin so I have never really worn blush because I felt it just made me look even more red!! But seeing how the summer glow is quickly fading, using bronzer now just doesn't look right! Don't get me wrong..if you still have color by all means..bronze away!




This product is by Physician's Formula. It is the new Shimmers collection and I believe this color palette is called ROSE. I have used this a couple times already and love how it looks! I put on my regular foundation and powder then swirl a brush in all the colors and put it on the apples of my cheeks! These colors are great and work wonderful on my light skin! This palette though would work on a variety of skin tones due to the multiple colors! I put more of the lighter colors on my brush.




Another great thing is that this compact has a highlight shade (the very top color that is basically a shimmery white). You can use an eyeshadow brush and place this color on you brow bone and in the corners of your eyes for a more "awake" look!! I am only 24, but I have always had dark circles and this really helps!!




You can also use any of these shades as eyeshadows! This product was $10..not bad considering all the ways you can use it!!

Lovin' Lashblast!

This is my FAVORITE mascara..HANDS DOWN!! I like this mascara much more than department store brands (I won't name names ;) because I love other department store products!)

This mascara is excellent. I bought the plain ole' lash blast. There is also lashblast volume, length, waterproof, etc. I already have fairly long lashes so I am just interested in plumping them up!

Another great thing about this mascara is the variety of colors available such as brown, black, brown/black/ and very black. For a blonde, the very black is amazing. Without mascara, you can hardly see my lashes! Even if I don't put on makeup for the day..mascara is always a must!! It instantly brightens your eye area.

I give Covergirl's Lashblast 5 stars!!
