NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick | Beauty Favorite of the Week

This weeks beauty favorite is the NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the color Sandstorm. I have been using this liquid lipstick to death, literally everyday. It is one of those colors that's like your lips but better! It is so easy to use, I don't have to fuss with it, I usually apply a little from the doe foot applicator and then blend it in with my finger all over my lips.
It looks awesome, it applies beautifully. It is so easy to grab it and go. My favorite thing about it is that since it is a liquid lipstick, it is matte and longwearing. I can apply it early in the morning and not need to apply it for like 5-6 hours. That is my kind of lip product.

I have been super impressed with NYX as a whole recently, I think that they really have stepped it up when it comes to their products and availability.

Basically I love this lip color and for the price you can't really go wrong!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer Review

I have found my Holy Grail Concealer!!!!!!

But I'm getting ahead of myself, lets start from the top...

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my blog! I am so excited about today's post, because I am going to be talking about the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer.
I have been completely obsessed with this concealer for the past few months. And I have not been able to put it down. I have had to repurchase it already 4 times. I love it that much! I even used it as a foundation for a while. It is really an amazing product and I wanted to share it with you!

I picked this concealer up at Sephora and it retails for $29. I am in the shade "Custard." They do have a pretty good color range, and I really like that they have yellow and pink tones. The color Custard has a more yellow undertone to it, which goes very well with my olive (yellow) undertones in my skin.

Honestly the price was the only reason it took me this long to finally commit and buy it. But I have to say that the price is worth the product. I do wish there was a little more product, but that's life.

So moving on, this concealer has been a life changer for me. I am a sufferer of the "designer eye-bags" and it has been a struggle trying to find a product that concealed and brightened my under-eye area.
I have had to deal with the concealers that last only like 4 hours and then they magically disappear off my face. Also the concealers that just sink into my fine lines and this makes the fine lines look like giant wrinkles, come on, I'm only 22! We can't have that.
But like I said, when I tried the Radiant Creamy Concealer, I was in concealer heaven! The concealer is very opaque, but not cakey. We never want cake-face. The concealer still feels light weight, like I have barely any on, which is awesome if I want to layer it on. The color is really similar to my winter skin tone but it's still really lightening under the eyes. Which makes me one happy girl.

The wear on this concealer is amazing! I apply the concealer in the morning when I am getting ready for work, and by the time I'm removing my makeup at 10pm, this concealer is still there! It has lasted me up to 10 hours,

One thing I have noticed is that if I don't properly set the concealer under my eyes, it can crease a tiny bit in my fine line. An easy way to get rid of this crease is to apply a little powder over top and it takes away the crease while not removing any more of the concealer.

At one point I even used this concealer all over my face as a foundation. I think it even works better then other foundations. It is more pigmented so it covers problem areas much better. I also loved that I only needed one layer only on problem spots and that was enough. As opposed to using a regular foundation and then applying a concealer over that.

I would recommend this product to anyone that has darker under-eye circles or if you have acne scar, hyper-pigmentation, or any type of discoloration. This concealer will be amazing! Even if you have pretty good skin, you can use this product only where it is needed and it will blend in perfectly with your skin.
This concealer for me is a 9 out of 10. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because I think for $29 we should get much more product than what is in the little tube.

That's it for today's post, I hope you found this review helpful. Thanks for checking out my blog!

MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter Review

Prep and Prime Highlighter Review
Hey guys! 
I hope you guys are having a great week so far. I won't be uploading any videos this week, I will be posting on my regular schedule next week. So in the meantime I wanted to write a quick review on a recent purchase. I went to the MAC store recently and picked up a few things that I have been wanting, and one of those things is the MAC Prep and Prime Highlighter in the color Light Boost.
I made a video where I showed you guys all the things I got at MAC, if you want to check that out click here: MAC Makeup Haul Spring 2014

I wanted to try this product out because I love me some highlighter. I think it makes the whole face look luminous and pretty, and I love it. I always just used concealers as cream highlighters, and that works really well, but sometimes it can get a little cakey, and as I have established, that's not a good look. 

So I wanted to try something that was actually made to be a highlighter. So I picked it up. I have been using it every day since I got it, and I have to say I am sooooooo happy with how it looks on my skin. I love that it has a yellow undertone that complements my skin tone perfectly. It is super creamy and easy to blend, and it also blends amazingly into my foundation. 
I have been putting this around my mouth, around my nose, under my eyes and also down the center of my face. I just use my foundation brush, the Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki brush, to blend it into my skin. It literally takes like 10 seconds and it is all blended and looking perfect. I love that it doesn't make me look super ghostly white because it has that yellow undertone. It brightens my face and makes my skin look healthy.

I really am loving this product and how easy it is to apply compared to when I use a concealer as a highlighter. 
I would give this product a 5 out of 5. It is super easy to blend into my foundation, it is light and creamy, it makes my face look amazingggg.
