Make Up Forever HD foundation review!


Hello, my beautiful, flawless fans. It's been a big summer, what with the successful run of Bombshell Baby, trips to Disney World, etc, but now I'm back! I want to get started with a review of a product I started using during the run of Bombshell Baby! For the past few videos we made and the show I did at the Duplex, I used a really heavy, awful foundation by Max Factor that I thought would give me a lot of coverage...but it just felt awful on my skin and I couldn't stand it. SO, I walked into Sephora and they were having a special deal on the Make Up Forever HD Foundation. I got the foundation, the HD primer, and the amazing HD powder for $70. Normally, the foundation and powder alone would be $80, so throwing in the primer, which is normally $30, made it a great, great deal.

So I happily brought these new products to my dressing room. The primer is great, but I knew that because I had used it before. I applied the foundation and I was just instantly THRILLED with it. For a liquid foundation it feels so wonderful on the skin. It's easily blended (I use my Samanthan Chapman foundation brush) and the coverage is really amazing. I've been wearing it daily and using less product for a more natural look, but this foundation is easy to build on and was good for stage as well. Also, I look stunning in the pictures, so it was clearly working :)! If you use liquid foundation, I highly recommend this one. Here is the foundation in action...

Also wearing Yves Saint Laurent concealer, Ben Nye concealer, MUFE HD Powder, MAC Russian Red Lipstick, MAC Nylon eyeshadow, NYX brown shadow, Kat Von D Tattoo liquid liner, MUFE lower lashes, etc.

5 inch screen for iPhone 5!


Hello, gorgeous ones. As I sit here, thoroughly dissatisfied with my iPhone 4, wishing I had the 4S but KNOWING that the 5 is on the way, I was excited to read some news about the iPhone 5. I had read rumors about more colors, a harder shell, etc, but now there is a confirmation of one new feature: a bigger screen! Thank goodness! I often struggle with the keyboard and a bigger screen would help. Can't wait for this upgrade!!

Setting Sprays

Hello, gorgeous, makeup loving fans! I want to talk makeup setting sprays. I went years without using these and was often annoyed that by the end of the day, my makeup was almost gone, or just a mess (also partly because I was wearing Bare Minerals, but I'll talk about that another day). Urban Decay released a line of face sprays that are really wonderful. One is called "All Nighter," which does an excellent job of keeping your face in place. Another is "DESlick," which is geared more towards people with oily skin, like myself and then "Dew Me," which is geared more towards dry skin and moisturizes as well as sets your face. I was very into these for a while, but then I discovered the MAC Fix+ setting spray, which I feel holds my makeup the best. Also, the Mac Fix+ has all natural ingredients, while the Urban Decay products have a little but of alcohol in them.  It also has a really pleasant scent and you can use less of it, so it lasts longer. I highly recommend all of these though. Let me know if there are other brands you like!
