Covergirl Queen Collection: Reviews

So I tried Queen Latifah's The Covergirl Queen Collection, which was created for women of color to match the shades of our skin without masking our natural beauty. This is fabulous because I have to mix mine to match my skintone. The foundation looks lightweight and creamy, but I was unable to try it due to my extremely fair skin. I did use the volume mascara this weekend and my lashes really looked cute. Because I wear individual and strip lashes often, I don't have much of my own anymore. This mascara did the duty, but I don't know about 5 times the volume. The packaging is pretty though.

I am definitey loving the copper bliss lipgloss. I don't wear a lot of makeup unless I have a show, but I MUST have lashes and gloss even if I am grocery shopping. It's not sticky and it has a subtle sparkle and kissable shine...and oh yes I am going to wear this gloss everyday. MUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!


Love the motto too

How to SPRING Into Make-Up This Season

Chubby Liner Look:

STEP ONE:
Get a clean canvas with foundation, concealer, and loose powder. With a black eye pencil, draw a thick line along the top of the lash line and a line slightly below the lower lash line to make eyes appear larger.

STEP TWO:
Apply false eyelashes to the top and bottom lash lines.

STEP THREE:
Further accentuate eyes with a shimmery black shadow at the crease. Ayako used Nars Single Eyeshadow in Night Breed. Go over the liner again on the top and bottom lash lines. Set with another layer of black shadow.

STEP FOUR:
Apply a crisp white liner at the inner rim of the lash line.

STEP FIVE:
Shape and darken eyebrows to carry off the bold eye. Finish with mascara.

STEP SIX:
Mute the natural color of your lips with concealer. Finish with a beige pencil and lipstick.

Barbie Loves MAC

I am such a sucker for cutesy beauty items. Although I almost never use them, they seem to make my Prada makeup bag so much more fab.

The oh so fabulous Barbie has teamed up with MAC, courtesy of Mattel, to debut a haute new Spring collection. "Barbie Loves MAC" is a limited edition color collection with loads of vibrant pink, which I love of course. Other products include blushes, lip glosses, totes, and tees featuring the adorable Barbie logo.
