Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation

It’s no surprise my NEW favorite foundation is by Dolce & Gabbana. I just can’t seem to find another foundation that I love as much as theirs. Dolce & Gabbana’s Perfect Luminous Foundation is simply perfection in a bottle. I know you probably get tired of me raving about my Dolce products, but seriously, I don’t think I’ve met a product of theirs yet that I don’t adore, and this foundation is no different. It definitely has a lighter feel that my usual Prefect Creamy Foundation, but it’s every bit as good and it’s name basically says it all. It makes my skin look perfectly luminous and I love the fact that it doesn’t dry out my already dehydrated complexion. I do use this foundation over my usual anti-aging primer by Amazing Cosmetics so it helps keep my makeup looking fresh all day without having to touch up at all. I wear the color Natural Glow 100 (for reference I’m an NC-25 in MAC) and it has the perfect amount of warmth to it and definitely livens up my skin. I have been using my new favorite foundation brush (stay tuned to see which one it is) to blend my foundation. The two together give me an airbrushed, picture perfect face! Now…”Say Cheese:)”

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

I must admit, I’m like a lot of my readers…when in doubt, I turn to the internet and the opinions of some of my favorite beauty bloggers to find the next best thing!

Although I get products sent to me to try and review, I still have a pretty pricey collection of my favorite foundations and skincare that I continue to purchase myself and that can start to add up. So of course, I’m always on the hunt for those beauty finds that don’t break the bank and actually work just as well as my high end favorites!

When I recently ran out of my beloved Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, I went on a mad search to find a cheaper alternative. I kept coming across all of these great reviews for Maybelline’s Age Rewind Concealer. After figuring out what color would work best, which is the Light 120, I decided to order it on Amazon.

When my Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer arrived in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised at how the color was the perfect match for my skin tone. For color reference, I’m an NC 25 in MAC and have slightly yellow undertones. I also tend to have pretty dry skin, but Im an avid user of serum, heavy duty moisturizers, eye cream and a super hydrating anti-aging primer. Prepping your skin is essential for creating the perfect canvas. I love the pigmentation and the creaminess of this concealer. It doesn’t crease or settle in lines and stays put all day. It also doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and eyes. I do a quick swipe of my Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder on top to set and my eyes are instantly refreshed and brighter. I didn’t think I would like the sponge tip applicator, but honestly it works pretty nicely. This concealer also does a great job at covering blemishes and discoloration. This might just be the best $6 I’ve spent in a very long time!

Eyeko London: Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner

MustLove Rating: 10/10

Want to master the winged liner look like a pro? Eyeko London Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner will help you create the perfect Cat Eye in a matter of minutes.

If you’re like me and just can’t seem to nail your eyeliner game (especially on mornings when I’ve consumed one too many cups of coffee!) this little gem from Eyeko London is a must. The tip of the liner is super fine and the size of the pen itself is perfect in every way and is a breeze to apply. The consistency is so smooth, you’ll never have to tug or pull or feel like your liner is skipping across your lids. The color I’m wearing is Carbon Black and is exactly like it sounds…pitch black! It’s also waterproof, so even on humid days or crying your way through The Notebook, your liner will stay perfectly placed. I also love applying the liner to the outer corners of my lower lash line to give my lashes and the shape of my eyes a bit more definition.

Wait…I’m not quite finished. Do you want another reason to LOVE this liner as much as“Eye do?”  This Eyeko liner Features WIDELASH which will help eyelashes appear longer, fuller and stronger with up to 3 times more volume in just 15 days regular use. Now you all know I need as much help in the lash enhancement department as I can get!

In case I have not made it perfectly clear, this has definitely quickly become one of my favorite liquid liners to date. It might just deserve a round of applause-

Smashbox Studios Halo Highlighting Wand

 

Must Love Rating: 9/10

Do you ever find that your skin is lacking luster? I will tell you, the worst thing for my skin is STRESS! Ladies, let me tell you, whatever you do, try NOT to stress. It is absolutely horrible for your skin and I have been paying the price far too much lately for the amount of stress I am allowing myself to endure. So first, take deep breaths and meditate…and second, run out and buy Smashbox Studios Halo Highlighting Wand in GOLD! It has been my saving grace this week. On top of all of my stress, I then started stressing about how bad my skin was looking. Dealing with a bad eczema flair, I was in desperate need to bring some life back to my lackluster skin.

This little wand is my absolute favorite makeup item in my arsenal right now. It is easy to apply, it wakes up your entire face in a matter of seconds and the gold color is universally flattering on every skin tone. Smashbox Studios definitely hit it out of the park with this highlighter. I must admit, even when I get my skin back to it’s healthy, stress-free state, I will never want to be without this miracle product. It might even become my one “If I were stranded on an deserted island” product. It is that GOOD!

Maybelline FaceStudio Master Contour Kit

Do you want to have the cheekbones of a supermodel? Or maybe you just want to give your face a little more depth and dimension? I might just have the perfect answer! I love this Maybelline Master Contour Palette in Deep. The simple all-in-one-packaging makes this little gem perfect for your every day contouring needs. It does come with a brush, that works fine for contouring your nose, but I find it a bit too small for the rest of your face. So, be prepared to pair this with your favorite brushes. I opted for the deeper palette as I tend to have a bit more of an olive complexion and thought the lighter version would not show up on my skin. I also loved the blush in this palette so much more than the lighter shade! Now, I will say, if you are a pro at contouring, you may find this palette a little basic, but if you are like most women that just want to add a little definition to your face and want to make it easy, you will love this. The highlighter is perfect for adding that added glow to your skin as well. It is a universally flattering shade that will highlight your best features. Get ready to take center stage with this palette…you’ll certainly be turning some heads-
