Hurrican Irene

I pray that all my friends and family stay safe during this hurricane that is expected to be very effective to many areas in the world.  

It's been crazy here in New York City with many gas stations without gas as well as Supermarkets with empty shelves.  I hope you did your shopping on Friday or early this morning.  Our MTA stopped working since 12 noon so there's no bus or train.

May God Bless us ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's NEW?!?! Loving Blue & Urban Decay Razor Powder

HEY!

It seems as Blue will be thee color for Fall and it's all good cause it's my favorite color, whooohooo!!!! 

So far I'm feeling NARS new blue for the Fall - 

Can I scream GORG!!!!

I began playing with the BLUES inspired by Alexandra Stan music video "Mr. Sax" BUT I began applying without looking at the photo so this is NOT a replication

Another product I'm feeling is Urban Decay's Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder.  It feels nice & light on the skin with or without makeup so that alone is a BIG+. It's designed to "perfect the skin" especially for photos & videos.  If you're interested, click on the link below to read more info.

must twist right to open & left to close

The applicator attached - sponge buffer (not meant to be removed)

At first, I didn't understand how to use this product.  It's designed to be 'mess free' so you have to twist the top to open and close, however, I felt like nothing was coming out so I would just completely open it.  After a few weeks of using this product, I've come to really like it and learned how to use it.  Now when I twist it to open,  too much powder comes out, I never win, lol.  So I simply stipple the powder on my face and then go over with a powder brush to distribute evenly. 

Demonstration -

Before

Hey, Hey, Hey - no one has perfect skin

 After

What do you think?

I used Revlon ColorStay Foundation, MAC Studio Finish concealer and then Urban Decay's powder.

PROS:
feels nice on the skin (bare skin or over makeup)
doesn't clog pores
reduce shine
easy to use (twist open/close)
mess free (saves time)
justice served (skin looks well in photos)


CONS:
Package (when twisting too much product comes out)
Sponge attached (can't clean.  I use Beauty So Clean to disinfect)
