Paint Yourself Pink!

February 12, 2007/

Pink makeup = romantic makeup. And wouldn't it be nice to wear your romatic makeup on Valentines Day?

I am lucky to be fair skinned in which most pinks look nice on me. I prefer the soft pastel pinks, but I like just about any type of pink makeup. If you are not that into Pinks, take a few of my suggestions, and I bet I change your mind.

Sephora has a cute line of products, entitled appropriately enough, Piink. And like they say, "The best things in life are pink". I love this lip gloss crayon ($5) in the line, especially in Milky Rose - the most beautiful shade of rose petal pink. It's ease of use in that is glides on like a lipstick out of it's chubby stick but it looks sheer and glossy and low price tag are a huge plus! I also like to use their My Miistic Shadow ($9) in Tender Pink, which is a loose powder eyeshadow in pink with a hint of gold. It is in the cutest container that you dip the sponge tipped applicator into to get to the shadow.

For blushing in pink, I have a few favorites.

A Benefit How-To!

January 19, 2007/

Check out this cool little product from Benefit. It is called "10", to get your cheeks looking like a perfect "model 10".

The application technique is unique, and I am not totally sure if it would work without some effort. You know, sweeping the brush over the product with the same pressure, and things like that. And what if you wanted a little more bronzer and less highlighter? You would have to use a few more brushes. But it does look like a nifty little product I would definitely give a try.

Here is the "How to":

UPDATE: I wrote this post before I actually tried this product, in which I just did. There is more of the bronzer than the highlighter in the box, and the application is really simple. I just use the brush included and swipe it evenly back and forth 2 or 3 times to get the right amount of product and sweep the brush onto my cheeks. It really is easy and a great way to get a perfectly balanced look. Kudos to Benefit for a unique product offering.

"10" is $26 and shipping is free at BenefitCosmetics when you purchase "10" by using promo code: FRSHIP10
