Are you wearing M.A.C?

Author: Keishy Posted under:

I recently ran out of my M.A.C foundation, and honestly didn't feel like going into re up. The good thing is that I keep a few back up foundations just in case. Ever since I've been wearing my Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation in caramel, I've received endless compliments. The question is usually, "Are you wearing M.A.C?" 


Nope! However Revlon has absolutely wonderful coverage. A little goes a long way.  If you're looking for a reliable, no fuss product, this is it. I love it. I'll eventually venture back into other brands, but I'm all stocked up on my caramel crack for now.

New brushes: Sonia Kashuk

Author: Keishy Posted under:

Target is one of my favorite stores ever. It doesn't matter if I just go in to pick up cleaning supplies, I still come out with something beauty related. I'm addicted to finding new products for less, and that's just it. Sonia Kashuk is a premium like of makeup products that Target offers. For years I've walked up and down the aisle and nothing ever really caught my eye enough to purchase. However, I was in serious need of a eyeshadow blending brush. Earlier that day I went into Sephora and experienced horrible customer service. I mean, horrible to the point that I never plan on shopping there again. Needless to say, I didn't end up buying the brushes I planned on. 

I came across this cute little crush gift at Target.  It came equipped with blush, foundation, blending, smudge and eye liner brush, and it was all $14.99. 

The brushes are so soft and work incredible. I'm looking to build my kit, so pricey brushes are not in my view right now. These babies work really beautifully, and I see a huge change in my makeup application. Defintely worth the coins AND they are pretty to look at. Win, win.

Ben Nye Review - Part One

Author: Keishy Posted under: , , ,
I became an instant fan of Ben nye last year when I learned that one of my favorite beauty girls, Kim Kardashian swears by the brand's luxury powder in "Banana." It's a staple in the makeup kit of just about any makeup artist out there. Well, today I'm not here to talk about the banana powder, we all know how wonderful that works as a highlighter! There's so much more to be discovered. 



Having the ability to drive literally a mile down the street from my house and purchase these products from my local theatrical store makes the deal even sweeter. Ben Nye products have been around forever, and if you're looking for affordable, long lasting, durable makeup then please pay attention. 

1. Cake foundation in mocha java $11.00

The beauty in Ben Nye products is that there is something for everyone. If you're one of those people who find it hard to match your shade, look no further. The cake foundation is sort of amazing. It's almost so perfect that I didn't want to share my newfound love with anyone. But, I adore my reader's and want all of us to look fabulous. To get the most usage out of the cake foundation, it's best to apply a bit of water to your sponge. The foundation is water activated, and you'll run the risk of looking chalky if not. Once applied, be sure to work quickly, and if needed apply more water directly to the product, or the sponge (whichever works best for you.) For my dry skin gals, don't fret! Hydrate as normal and you shouldn't run into any issues. I found this to be long lasting and the coverage was absolutely flawless. It's worth ever penny! 



2. Finish Seal spray $5.50

Y'all are going to love me for this one. Let's reiterate the fact that Ben Nye products are made for the stage, which means it'll work awesome for the ladies who need their makeup to withstand hours on hours. I've been looking for the perfect finishing spray for so long. I'm a baller on a tight rope type of budget, so there's no need for me to purchase a pricey spray that I'll be scared to use In fear that I'll have to dish the cash out often. I used this once on Girl's night out this past Friday. It has a minty smell, and goes on a bit stickey then dries out for a silky matte finish. I spayed it on around 9pm and my face was just as in place at 3am when I finally washed the makeup off and made it to bed. I'M A FAN FOREVER. 


I have so many other products from the beloved brand to review, but I have to give it to you in doses. Greatness.

Soft & Simple

Author: Keishy Posted under:
Face of the day.

There are so many times that I hesitate on even using my products, because I'm usually sitting at my desk for hours at a time talking to clients. What's the point of putting in the time and effort for pretty much no reason? Well, I have so many new items that I need to review. (and the only way to do that would be to USE THEM! ) So here's my FOTD :)



I'm working on buying a new camera, so that my photos will be crisp and clear! *crosses fingers*

Heroine

Author: Keishy Posted under:
I was never lucky enough to get my hands on M.A.C's HEROINE when it was first released. It was once just a limited edition, sold out lippie. Somehow the makeup gawds got it together and decided it was time to make this a permanent staple! My fiancé was sweet enough to purchase this as one of my Christmas gifts. I was ecstatic to say the least. I was so proud of him knowing the he actually listens when I'm talking about my beauty dream list sometimes. Hehe. 


I really LOVE this shade so much. 

It complements my brown skin tone and pops. It's a traditional matte lipstick with a very silky finish. (Sorry for the quality of the picture) but my camera was on it's worst behavior. All in all, it's a winner. 

Xoxo,
