Mother's Day is COMING...SOON

Hey,

Well, you all know Mother's Day is around the corner.  It's on Sunday, May 9th and we all want to get that special gift and of course within a reasonable price.  My mom is a big fan on perfume mainly Jadore so I wanted to change her taste.  I was in PA this weekend so I decided to hit the Crossing Outlet.  I got great deals in Children's Place for my sons and manage to get my mom a nice gift.  I purchase the Sex in the City set for $28.00.  This is a really nice set and the smell is wonderful too.

It comes in a box covered with this pruple wrapping paper with the title on it

This is the box...aint it pretty.....

This Gift Set includes the large perfume, which by the way was being sold for $19.99 alone, a lotion, shower gel and small carry size perfume

Close up...again the perfume smells awesome and the price is so reasonable...can't go wrong.

It does come in different colors with a different fragrance, but this one shine them all.  So Happy Shopping for those who haven't bought their gift yet and good job for those who could and did.

This past week CVS had a sale on L'oreal Duo's for $5.00 each and of course that is up my alley so I picked up a few of the NEW duo's.  I thought this one would be perfect for Easter.  It's so beautiful.  It's called 'Mystic' #319 and one side is a peachy gold with shimmer and the other side has a bit of teal blue also with shimmer.

**** REVIEW ****

I have to tell you that L'oreal Cream eyeliner is GOURGOUS!!!!  I had purchased 'midnight blue' and 'eggplant' #960 a few months ago and I LOVE IT!!!!  It's really creamy and rich in color.  It's wonderful to use as a base to bring out your eyeshadow.  In addition to these colors they also carry teal and brown.  Below is a swatch of midnight blue along with the creamy eyeliner 'Silver' (my favorite combination, lol) from L'oreal.  I recommend for you to check out this line and its new products.

Maybelline Mascara - at first I wasn't too crazy about this product.  I guess because I used 'Plush' from MAC for so long of course I was too attached.  Yet, I gave this product a chance and you know what, it's not bad at all.  It's nice because it doesn't lump the lashes, which is a HUGE plus. 

Urban Decay Pocket lip gloss - as soon as this gloss came out I really liked it because it's so cute.  It has different men on it which defines the name of the gloss.  It's characters are from the good 'dad' to the 'player.'  I received a free mini sample of 'Doug' when I purchased the 'Alice in the Wonderland' palette and I have to say it's really nice.  It's not heavy on the lips but it does have a smell like Vanilla Bean on 'Doug' so if you're cool with scented gloss then you're good.  If not, well then it's best to check out these products in person and test it.

Welcome Spring!! (using Coastal Scents 26 Shadow Blush Combo Palette)

OMG, it's been a while I haven't used this palette that I almost forgot how much I really liked it.  For one, it's in a palette (BIG Space Savor) of 21 neutral eyeshadow from Brown; Taupe; Cooper; Coral; Pink; Gold; Plum/Purple (all my favorite colors especially for an everyday look).  Secondly, it also have 5 blush colors - AWESOME!  And last, it's a reasonable price so you don't have to break your pockets.  My palette doesn't have Coastal Scents logo even though I purchased it from them so I only paid $10.00.  The actual price is $19.95 with the logo, which is still NOT BAD for 26 colors - P E R F E C T!!!!!!  The only thing this palette doesn't have is a highlighter, most of the colors are matte finish and some have a bit shimmer.

L'oreal VS. Make Up Forever Primer (Green - for Skin w/Redness)

Hello,

OK, well as you know most 'green' primers are correctors for skin tones with redness.  It helps reduce the redness on your skin as well as keeping your foundation in tact and last a long time.  It also helps reduce step(s) when applying your makeup such as applying concealer over & over to hide redness and blotches on your face.

I've been trying the Green primer from Make Up Forever for a few months now and it's incredible.  It's super light, soft with no odd smell, lol, oil-free and it comes with a pump, which makes it easy to use.  It can be purchased at Sephora for $32  in 1.01 oz. size http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P217906&categoryId=C13402 so it will last.  1 pump is all you need; apply to the entire face; and a few small blots on the areas needed (redness) followed by your foundation and other products you use.  This primer works very well with Revlon's Color Stay and Photo.

Recently, L'oreal has launched its NEW products from new eyeshadow colors to primers (love the NEW duo's).  I purchased the Green primer 3 weeks ago and have been using it everyday to compare.  The results are compatible.  The texture is almost the same as Make Up Forever except is not as light, but it's not heavy either and it's a bit oily.  It can be purchased at your local drug store for $12.99 in 0.68 oz size and also has a pump.  It also works well with Revlon's foundations.  It's a big money savor and the best part its effective.

*** Both Make Up Forever and L'oreal carries other primers that target other skin tones imperfection ***
