Makeup Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Skinn Cosmetics Lip 6X Gloss Amplifying Lip Gloss

This tube packs a lot of plump for your pout for $18.50! Just by looking at the bottle, I can see where the serum looks as if it would have a brightening effect, too — due to the opalescent light-reflecting micro-collagen spheres.
Not only that, but it also tastes good and does not feel tacky nor irritated my lips like some other lip plumpers do, also feeling the need to take them off immediately after application. Some burn, tingle and this one did neither on my lips.

As every dark-skinned beauty maven knows, finding a concealer perfect for your gorge skin is as tough as finding a man for keeps while you’re speed dating.
As a dark skinned lass, I’ve hunted for cosmetics like a CIA undercover agent, with the vain hope of snagging something that was my perfect shade. And you all know how impossible that can be.
Well, not too long ago, I fell in love with Iman Cosmetics and honestly I’ve been wearing these concealers on a daily basis. I feel they are one of the …

Review, Before/After Photos: The Best Airbrush Makeup Systems – Is Temptu Or Dinair Better?

Put away your old powder puff and foundation brush and start transitioning to today’s cosmetic airbrush systems. If you haven’t already heard of it, airbrushing is the modern method of makeup application which utilizes a highly pressurized “gun” and compressor to turn liquid foundation into a fine mist that spreads evenly on your face. With the advent of HD cameras, the regular powder-and-paint no longer works since pores and other imperfections become apparent during close-ups. Airbrushing removes this problem by giving far better coverage and results, compared to what can …

Review, Photos, Swatches: Skinn Cosmetics Dual-Ended Tint & Shine Lip Stain and Gloss

Tired of your lipstick and/or gloss wearing off after a couple of hours? Would you like something that can last through the day? Sometimes it’s frustrating having to touch-up your lip products throughout the day. I think a big reason why most women don’t wear many lip products, especially in bolder colors, is because they dislike having to touch-up so often to keep the color looking perfect on the lips.
Today, I will be reviewing some lip stains/lip glosses for you that will put an end to your lasting lip color …

(Review, Photos, Swatches) Sisley Anti-Aging Lift Foundation, Skinleya

The new anti-aging foundation from Sisley, Skinleya, is also a skin enhancing foundation. Launching in September, this new Lift Foundation is my first foray into Sisley’s color cosmetics line.
The foundation positions itself as both an anti aging skincare and makeup resource, and is incredibly lightweight, just like souffle. Non greasy and non comedogenic, his is a highly sensory experience in the world of makeup, restoring freshness and radiance and evening out the complexion and spots.
This particular formula is enriched with extract of cherry blossom and tourmaline microcrystals, as well as …
