NEW Maybelline!!

My thoughts on the new Maybelline face products out in stores!! Here's what I got!

This primer is awesome! It has a cream lotion feel to it. A small amount goes a long way. I apply it before my makeup & let it dry. It blurs pores & imperfections to prep face for makeup! 

This primer is oil free & I find this product does keep my oily skin under control for atleast 5 hours. I would definitely recommend this product. The price is reasonable, the packaging is adorable & the product delivers!

There are other types of primers in this collection.

Find it here!

This foundation has been added to my top favs! I am in love. This foundation goes on SO easily.

This foundation is made for normal to oily skin. It claims to make your skin matte & poreless. My opinion is, yes, it does. I agree with the statement. The matte feel is not completely matte, it is a natural matte, so your skin appears life-like not cakey. Pores disappear with this product instantly without the need to apply multiple layers.

The lasting power is great. This foundation does not move or separate throughout the day. I wear this paired with the Master Primer for a all day wear.

The color selection is fabulous. This shade "fits me" perfectly!

SEPHORA LITTLELUX CODE

Sephora goodies!

Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara in Black: I had this mascara as a sample once before & I fell in love. It is higher end ($24) but it is worth it cause it lasts long in the tube without drying out so fast like some brands. It is a building mascara but in a pinch you can do a few coats & it is BOMB! Layering mascaras is fun to me, so I will continue to add this to the mix ;)

Tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12-Hr Perfecting Primer: I had recently purchased this in the Primer Trio at Sephora. I loved it so much I needed to buy the full size! I used to love Tarte's ReCreate Primer but they discontinued it :( booo! This is a great subsitute. I feel like it fills lines, smooths my face, and minimizes  my pores aka you look flawless girl!

Drumrolllllllll......

USE CODE LITTLELUX TO RECEIVE YOUR OWN BAG O' SAMPLES NOW! I chose the Kat Von D bag, but there are others to chose from, same samples inside though ;)

There is a ton of perfume samples which I love bringing into work to keep it fresh. A few pricey hair samples which is always great to test em out. Some facial cleaners, primers & foundation samples too!

Happy Shopping!

My New LOVE

Quick review on this MAC Oil Control Lotion :) LOVE THIS! This has been working for my skin greatly! I got this maybe 2 weeks ago and it has been hard to not use something else! I love that it is a lotion (I usually go for a silicon-like primer.)

You only need about a dime size to cover your whole face and keep it matte all day long! It goes on as any lotion would and isn't increbily wet or slick. It drys quiet fast and then you can apply your foundation.

It has worked for my in my problem areas like my T zone. I found that this has worked better for me than my Too Faced Primed & Poreless which I have been using for months!

This comes in two sizes from MAC. I bought the small one which was $15 and the larger is $31 which is reasonable for the time the product lasts since you don't use globs of it! Go try it for yourself!

TOO FACED!

I have been loving Too Faced products this summer! They have recently upgraded their lipstick line with "La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream." I purchased two colors so far :)

1st off, LOVE the packaging!

 Left to right: Nude Beach, Razzle Dazzle

The nude color is very compliemntly. No chalky look what so ever! The pink is vibrant yet not TOO much for an everyday wear.

The lipsticks are very creamy. I have been wearing them on their own with no topper gloss. My lips stay soft without that drying feeling some lipsticks give.

Lipcolor: Nude Beach*

ALSO, I have to shout out the Too Faced "Primed & Poreless Pure Oil-Free Skin Smoothing Face Primer For Sensitive Skin"

I have been loving this product! I can't go a day without this on my face. It is oil free so it eliminates that oily look your makeup can give you throughout the day. I find that my makeup goes on smooth and stays PUT!

The formula fills in pores and minimizes fine lines. It feels almost a gel-like consistency. Goes on clear with no fragrance. I would HIGHLY recommend this to everyone!

BAKED

Went on a trip to ULTA today :)

Purchased this Laura Geller "sugar free" Blush-n-Brighten in Boysenberry.

Different from most Laura Geller products, this one is called "sugar free" because it is a matte finish. The Laura Geller line specializes in baked (shimmery) products.

This shade is in the pink family mixed with bronze to give your skin a sunkissed look.

This blush is paraben-free and is easily blended onto your skin.

I would recommend this color for light to medium skin tones :)

At ULTA there was promotion for a free gift with a purchase of  $25. I received:

The gift set included a mini eye/ lip Spackle (primer), mini Bronze n Brighten baked bronzer and a Spackle packette (face primer).

This is the eye/lip Spackle, it  comes in a convenient package. The lip Spackle provides a smooth surface for you to apply lipstick/gloss. Ensuring it will stay fresh and true to the color. Also conditions lips. Eye Spackle provides a smooth base for you to apply eyeshadow and have it stay put! Also can be use as a concealer to reduce puffiness and make you look wide awake!

The Spackle, like any face primer provides a smooth canvas for your artwork. Made with natural plant extracts and antioxidants. These ingredients help your skin as well as make your face flawless.

Bronze n Brighten is a baked bronzer that allows you to add a little glow. It helps that there are a few different colors swirled in so it gives a natural look. Not to dark, not too bright. No orange tint either. Leave slight sheen, but mostly matte finish. *Can double as a nude eye shadow ;)

I would highly recommend if you are looking to try Laura Geller products, these samples are a great little taste!
