Hi everyone, I can't believe it's almost February! That means Valentine's Day is around the corner and I can't wait. I hope my man does something romantic and fun. Any ways this month I have been using a lot of routine products and while not all of them are products I would repurchase, I definately do not regret buying them to try out.
So this month I haven't really been using a face primer because I bought the new Maybelline foundation that has the primer in it. And I do like the texture of this foundation, but I think I picked the wrong shade because it seems a bit too tan for me. I don't think it's noticable to other people but it is noticable to me (the offness of the shade). I also feel that it turns a bit organgey as the day progresses. Overall though I do like it and I plan to use it all before trying out either the Mac Mineralize moisture foundation that should be out soon or the L'oreal Magic Lumi foundation..I haven't decided which yet.
For eye primer, I usually use my Urban Decay in the shade eden, but I picked up a Revlon shade stick in torch and have been using that daily under all of my eyeshadow. I like to take the lighter color all over the lid and the darker one in the crease and the outer corner of my eye. Then I just put whatever eyeshadow I'm wearing over top and it lasts all day with no creasing. I've used neutral shades as well as pinks and purples over top and it looks great in my opinion.
For my highlight I've been loyal to my Essence Breaking Dawn highlighter. It doesn't accentuate my pores or leave me looking oily or greasy which is something that I have to be careful of because I have oily skin.
My eyebrows have been looking great all month with the Revlon.....two in one eyebrow pencil and gel. I don't know the official name off the top of my head and I am too comfortable in bed to get up and check. I mostly use the pencil end and I really like it because I can fill in my brows subtly or intensely with ease. The color matches great too. I also have been trying out the Milani brow pen stain. I'm too sure about it, it seems to have already have dried up quite a bit and I bought it only two weeks ago. It might just be the nature of the product though. It gets the job done and I will use it completely.
Lastly, my Physicians Formula felt tip eyeliner which I've had for over a year is still going strong! Granted I don't use it everyday, but often enough that I'm surprised it hasn't dried up much at all. I will definately repurchase this once it's gone because it is my favorite eyeliner ever!! It does claim to have a serum in it that helps to grow fuller and longer lashes but I haven't really noticed the results. Then again I have pretty average lashes so I'm happy with how they are anyways.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I know pictures would make it even better but until I can get my hands on a decent digital camera that is capable of focusing on close objects you will have to live with just my words. Any questions or comments please feel free to comment below, I'd love to hear from you.
