A New Favorite!!

OH MY...the minute I put this on my face, I immediately looked better, like my skin was lit from within and healthier. It is such a beautiful warm rose gold color that in my opinion would perk up any skin tone from the very fair to the very dark. I like to use it as a highlight on the high points of my face, but it can also be mixed into foundation as well. It is different from the RMS living luminizer, another favorite of mine, which is a more white pearlescent almost shiny glow. I would say that this gives more of an ethereal radiance to the skin that is very believable in natural light. This is well on its way to being a cult favorite, just like the living luminizer is!

Beyond Amazing...

Hands down Wayne's best brush so far! I just got mine and it is soooooo soft and works so nicely. Definitely worth the investment. It just feels so luxurious and applies powder products like a dream.

The Perfect Rosy Flush...

This product totally reminds me of watercolor. It is sheer but has amazing staying power and gives the perfect flush to your cheeks. I chose the color guava, and absolutely love the pop of pink. The way I apply it is by stippling it with my damp beauty blender. It looks super natural. If you are tired of powdery looking blush, this is a lovely alternative. I also love the rosy scent!

The Perfect Bronzer...

I am always on the lookout for a bronzer that works with my skin tone, never too orange and not muddy looking. I like bronzers to have a little finely milled shimmer to them, so this is actually a winner as it is the perfect product in terms of the color it produces and the quality of the product. I love the fact that there is a lighter option for the higher points of the face and the darker option for contour. Some days I just will swirl both of them together for a nice bronzy glow. Other days, if I have more time, I will contour with the two colors. I love having the option. This is totally an every day staple for me. Here is a picture of me wearing this applied with my Wayne Goss 00 Brush, the perfect brush for applying this product :).

This Palette Rocks!!

I loooove this palette. It contains five of the most beautiful shades I have ever seen in terms of highlighters/blush. The theme of this palette is most definitely a warm Rose-Gold, PERFECT for fall. I always start to warm up my makeup around this time of year, to go with paler skin and fall wardrobe hues. This palette produces the most gorgeous warm glow. The quality of these powders is superb, as they are very finely milled. I am wearing a mixture of all of the colors in this picture, which I applied with my Chikuhodo/Beautylish Highlighter brush..the perfect brush for applying these shades so they blend seamlessly. I think this is also a great deal for the amount of product you get and the fact that you get so many options to choose from in one palette. This palette is a must have!!

This Stuff Works!

I'm always really picky about any powders that I use because I am terrified of looking cakey or the powder settling into fine lines. This powder does exactly what it promises without adding a heavy layer over your foundation. I tried it in every lighting imaginable and it is completely undetectable. I also did a flash test with my camera to see if there would be white splotches which tends to happen with a great deal of setting powders and this passed with flying colors. I use a simple human LED mirror to apply my makeup, which shows EVERY pore and line on my face with a 5x magnification. It was amazing to see my pores disappear so quickly upon application of this amazing powder. Love it!

Beyond Gorgeous Color Selection!

This palette is a must have, even if you own any of the Naked or Too faced palettes based on the amazing and unique selection of colors it provides and the quality of pigment as well. I am IN LOVE with all the lavender/ taupe-y purples, grays, and browns, as I do not own a palette with this specific color selection. They are all matte colors but the genius part of this palette is that it provides a transforming pearl color that can make any of the matte shades pearlescent. How have I not seen this before? So smart! For the look in the picture I attached, I used the colors "Trust, "Romance" and a little of the "Enchanting" on the top lid, and for the lower lash line used "Mystery". It really is the perfect balance to bring out my brown eyes. There are also beautiful lighter highlighting shades for the inner eye near the tear duct and brow bone if desired. I'm also excited to try a look with "Adore", "Tranquility" and "Desire" seeing as I have nothing that compares to them in my large stash of eyeshadows. These shadows are super pigmented and glide on literally like silk. I didn't realize that they actually contain silk until after I tried them, which totally explains the quality of the application. The fact that this shadow does not contain Talc is also innovative, which will negate any caking or texture issues. I highly recommend this palette!!!!!!

Nothing Compares!!

I have allllways been on board with Wayne's opinions on how brows should look. I like mine to look as natural as possible and not over power the face. This brow kit is everything I could have asked for and then some!!! The angled brush is the best eyebrow brush I've ever owned. It deposits any formula of brow product beautifully as dark or soft as you would like. The spooly brush is also the best of its kind. It grabs each and every hair perfectly to shape them the way you want or to diffuse any product for a more natural look. I also love the brush/comb combo..I even tried what Wayne suggested to use the comb for mascara application! It works amazing..my eyelashes look perfect today and are clump free. Thank you Wayne for more amazing brushes!!

So Good!

If you use self tanner, you absolutely need this. I have gotten flawless, streak free application of my self tanner each time I have used this. I think this is one of the best ideas so far... I would have never thought to apply my self tanner with a damp sponge! Genius!!!!!

Best Face Oil I have tried!

I have been on a mission lately to find the perfect face oil. I recently had a baby and was missing that "pregnancy glow" I had for 9 months straight. This one has totally delivered in every aspect. I wanted something that did not clog pores or break me out, that feels luxurious and hydrating, smells good and actually makes a difference in the appearance of my skin. This oil actually does all of that! You can even use it as a primer for your makeup, because it dries to a matte finish. I love the fact that this oil has more antioxidants than argan oil (60% to be exact) and is full of omega acids. I have discovered that this oil is a great deal more moisturizing than argan oil. If you apply it at night, you will wake up with baby soft, glowing skin. Being in the pharmaceutical industry, I can also appreciate the fact that this oil is doctor approved and clinically studied to show efficacy. That alone makes it worth every dollar spent, because it is proven to work!! The 1% essential oil blend gives it a very lovely subtle scent as well. Lastly, the bottle looks so pretty sitting on my vanity!
