Rimmel Makeup- The Good and The Bad

Hey Guys!

Recently, I have just been obsessed with many of the Rimmel drugstore makeup products. There are many I have found that are some of my everyday go-to products! I have tried many things from the cosmetic line and I thought it would be fun to share my findings-the good and the bad of Rimmel cosmetics. 

So here’s the video for you, hope you enjoy it!

I am wearing all Rimmel products in this photo.

Tell me, are there any products you LOVE from Rimmel? It is becoming one of my favorite drugstore makeup brands!

Ellis Faas Makeup-First Impressions/Review

Hey Guys!

I’ve had the pleasure of trying a new makeup line; it’s called Ellis Faas. She makes very fashion forward, edgy , innovative makeup and I was fortunate enough to try some out!

The colors are fascinating, she has some beautiful shades in the collection as well as a “sparkly” eye shadow collection called “lights” that are AMAZING!

All of the packaging is in sleek silver bullets, which I explain in my video is a little interesting and odd to me.. but nonetheless, the reason she did that was to make things easy to put into a holder or clip where all of them can be put into your purse in an organized way. The picture below is from the website so you can see an example of the “holder” I am talking about.

I hope you guys enjoy my first impressions video of these Ellis Faas products. 

Love,

Lauren

 

First Impressions / Review – It Cosmetics

Hey Guys!

I just received some products from “It cosmetics” and I have never tried anything from this brand before. I thought it would be fun to do a “first impressions ” video of some of the various products so you can get to know some of the products.

I have a CC cream, concealer, bronzer, lipglosses, a makeup brush and more to show you! If you have ever seen these products before or wondered about them, I hope this can help give you more information about them if you are considering trying any out.

Here is the first impressions video I made about It Cosmetics.

I am looking forward to using these more and incorporating them into my makeup routine. I will be sure and update you to let you know if any of these products really stand out and are things I love. So far, my favorites from the collection are the My Sculpted Face bronzers and highlighters. I find this palette extremely useful because it has a variety of sculpting shades.

I also am loving the Vitality Glow Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer. It is wonderful because it’s such a large size, it’s completely Matte and it’s great for bronzing the neck and chest.

Thanks for reading and watching and don’t forget to visit It Cosmetics for more product information.

Love,

Makeup Tips for your Photo Session + Glam Sessions with Lindas Photography

Hey Guys!

I have teamed up with Linda’s Photography in Delano  this year to do makeup for what they call “Glam Sessions.” They are Senior Photo Sessions that are closer to 4 hours with as many outfit and background changes as you want in that time and you get to work with me as your makeup artist to achieve awesome fun and glam looks that you wouldn’t normally do on your own. You can also have a hair stylist there if you want more awesome hair options.

I love doing makeup for senior pictures, because it seems like just yesterday that I was getting mine done, and I remember how EXCITED I was for them. For most girls this is the one big photo shoot just for themselves they’ll ever experience. So, I think Glam Sessions are a fabulous idea because why not make it extra special and fun!?

Here are some tips if you are doing your own makeup for your photo session.

Hope you all enjoyed this video and found it helpful if you are going to be having your photos taken. If you are a Senior in highschool and are going to be graduating in 2014-check out whatLinda’s Photography has to offer and maybe I’ll see you at your Glam Session!

Celebrity Brand-ICEBOX Makeup Case + Makeup & Accessory Haul

Hey Guys!

I hope everyone is having an amazing month of May. I am LOVING the warmer weather. As the saying goes, “You really appreciate something when it’s gone.” It has  been such a long winter…and now that warm weather is here, I feel so happy. 

One of the things that always goes along with collecting makeup is organizing. I feel like I’m in a constant state of organizing.  I have found a girls DREAM ORGANIZER! It’s a clear acrylic case called the ICEBOX by Sherriblossom. It is beautiful, sturdy, clear and holds lots of makeup. Many celebrities have this case ..it is the most luxurious of storage units. I’m so lucky! Go check out the cases for yourselves here.

I have switched up the background of my videos. Since all my content is mostly beauty related I decided to change where I film. Hope you guys enjoy this video.

Also, if you missed it, I posted a haul of some new summer accessories, and new lip products I got. If you haven’t seen this video yet, definitely check it out! I found some new $2 ELF lip products that I had to test out and share.

Love,

New for Makeup Brush Washing: SIGMA Spa Brush Cleaning Glove

Hey Guys!

I’m so excited today. Sigma launched a new product yesterday that is so fun and changes how I feel about washing my makeup brushes. It’s a new tool that makes washing your brushes easier. It looks like a oven mitt but it’s the Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove. 

As a makeup artist, I love this glove because it makes washing dozens of brushes faster and easier. Not to mention, I don’t have to ruin my nail polish because my hands don’t even have to touch water.

The glove has a silicone outside which is easy to wash ,very durable,and gentle on your makeup brushes.  It has a microfiber inside which keeps your hand from sweating and keeps it cozy and comfortable in the glove while you wash your brushes. It comes in 4 colors and retails for $39. Is it worth it? YES! It makes cleaning your brushes easier and more effective; it’s definitely worth the money. The little groves on the glove help to really suds up the soap and deep clean your brush! Check out the glove on the sigma website here.

Check out the video I made demonstrating how this is used. 

Thanks for reading. Let me know if you have any questions. Don’t forget to subscribe to my youtube channel and blog if you want to keep seeing more posts about all things beauty.

Love,
