March Loves and Loathes!

Hello, all my GORGEOUS friends! I'm back for a March 2011 Loves and Loathes of the month.

1. I'm going to start off with the Make Up Forever Camoflage Cream Palette No. 1. It's the lightest of the concealer palettes because as we all know, I am a ghost... Practically. What makes this palette unique is, Believe it or not, I can use EVERY color. Even the darkest. In fact the darkest peachy color is my favorite out of the whole palette. Hear me out. If you look at a color wheel peach counteracts with blue. And beacause an evil spider bit me and made me sick, I have had unbelieveable dark blue circles under my eyes. So the peach CANCELS out the blue tone. It truly is remarkable. Please if you have dark circles under your eyes try a peach tone concealer. TRUST Your beautiful friend! This retails at Sephora for $36.

2. This is a crazy little guy. It's the Garnier Skin renew Anti Dark Circle Roller. It's actually a concealer with all kinds of crazy ingredients to HELP your skin look more glowy and radient. It has caffine in the formula to help lift the eye. It's really a remarkable product and you should try it out! I got mine from Walgreens for about 12 dollars.

3. This next product, I am sorry to say, is Discontinued. It's Mac's Ripe Peach Blush and it is 100% amazing and beautiful and perfect! I could go on and on about this product but really just look at the picture and salivate! No really, Look! It's gradient effect leaves you with more options than ever thought possible. You can use the light side if you need a pick me up on your cheeks without going overboard. As we all know, I am a little flamboyant and will wear it all day as dark and beautiful as I can by mixing the color all together. LOVE LOVE LOVING This blush.

4. Alright STOP..... Shimmertime. Ok ... I'm cheesy, get over it. Loving this color as a highlight. Mac's Shimmertime is not as glittery and crazy as the name would suggest. It is perfect and what I've been using for a year. It is what keeps me from shelling out $56 dollars for the Dior Amber Diamonds Highlight powder.

5. This product is pretty cool. If anyone watches Youtube Beauty videos then you would KNOW Pixiwoo. Besides Marlena (makeupgeek), these sisters rock my beauty world. One of the sisters, Sam, had the chance to create her own brushes which are sold at Ulta. The price is very affordable and the product is completely amazing. Below is the eye set and there is an awesome dupe for Mac's 217 and is worth the $15 dollars for the set JUST for that brush! The face brushes are awesome as well. You should check them out next time you're in Ulta. They are really new and I probably shouldn't have added them to my favorites but I wanted you guys to know... Especially my sister, who was at war with herself at Mac the other day with my cousin. They couldn't decide on the 224 or the 217. I, of course told them to get the 224. Now they can both try a dupe for the 217 for a fraction of the cost and get 4 brushes as an added bonus. Real Techniques Eyeshadow Brushes By Samantha Chapman.

6. Make Up Forever's #92 will always hold a beautiful place in my heart. It is the perfect purple in my opinion and everyone should pick it up. Do it. Now $19 dollars at Sephora. GO! No really. Spring's here and bright colors are just around the corner and this is perfect. LOVE IT!

7. Mac's Painterly Paintpot is amazing! It mutes your eyes and provides a clean and even canvas for you to perform your magical art on. Makes your eyeshadow stay on all day too so it's win win;) BUT I tried it on my lips the other day thinking it would probably dry them out and I had just made the worst mistake of my life. Much to my surprise, it is the PERFECT lip erase. I wanted the color of my lipstick to really show through as the color it was without my natural lip color deterring it in any way. So Painterly was my answer. Surprisingly enough it didn't dry my lips out at all. Try it if you get a chance! $16.50 at Mac. Also, slap on a little pinky gloss over just the painpot and you'll have the perfect nude;)

8. Mac's Kissable Lipcolor in En Chante from the Peacocky collection is a beautiful baby pink! I love this color and it really does stay a very long time! I love my light baby blue toned pink lipsticks. I'm obsessed. Don't Judge meh;)

Favorite Mascara this month is Cliniques High Impact. It's very black and was only 14 dollars. I love the formula. It doesn't flake, and is easy to remove. Paired with Buxom Mascara you will have a gorgeous False eyelash look.

9. Favorite nail polish is Shocking pink, Which is truly a shocking bright pink. Love it! I have a feeling this will be my spring and summer color!

10. I know what you're thinking. Just go to walmart and buy the 2 dollar nail polish remover! NO, I say! No! This is Zoya's Remove +. It's a Remover, Nail Cleaner, and Nail prep. It will also take your polish off effortlessly. For $9 dollars you get the Remover with a pump which in my opinion is beautiful and reusable. When i run out of the Zoya remover, I can replace it with a cheaper grosser brand but I don't see myself backing away from this. You don't know what you're missing until you try something better and THIS is better.

11. MY NUMBER ONE MOST FAVORITE PRODUCT THAT WILL EVER EXIST AND NEVER BE REPLACED. Is BYE BYE PORES BY IT COSMETICS! Buff this fine micropowder over your pores and instantly watch the pores on your face blur and almost just go away! You are left with beautiful and seamless skin. LOVE this product yall! It's also a yellow tint that will brighten your skin and undereyes.

12. So recently I've been having some dry skin issues. It could be because I'm wearing more powders, but really I just think my skin is dry. This is First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. It's thick and minty smelling and has completely turned my skin around. Love this stuff! For a 6oz. Jar it was $28 at Sephora.

AND NOW... FOR MY LOATHES....

(dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn)

1. Stupid Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner $20 at Sephora or Ulta. It's a beautiful Black. It's very very dark and at first I thought this would be a perfect alternative to my Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero. BUT it wasn't. It stung my eyes when I used it on my waterline (which was what I wanted it for). Buy it if you wanna Gauge your eyes out and die. Ok... little over dramatic but whatevvvs. P.s. Sister tell me out to spell Gauge... (gowdge). However you spell it, that should be the new name for this eyeliner.

2. Lancome's Genefique from what I hear is supposed to be amazing! I don't know if it will only work on Aged skin but I have seen no results and no difference in my skin. Hate to say it because I was using this product to improve my skins texture. I bought this in a set from Sephora with the Genifique Eye for $100.

3. Needless to say, this didn't work either and I handed it over to my mom. It made my eyes sensitive and raw feeling. I DON'T enjoy that. (lol)

4. This is BY FAR the worst product I've ever used. We all know I went blonder but we never expected me to go blonder with a side of a god aweful rash on my face and neck. I should have done more research on John Frieda's Go Blonder Spray before I bought it. BUT I'm obsessed with my hair being WHITE Blonde and went against my better judgement. This product claims to not have harsh chemicals or bleach in it BUT it does. It faded my pink pillow case and gave me the infamous rash, which after I started seeing it on my face I researched it and a LOT of people had similar effects. Do not buy this! It is aweful! The only thing that helped my rash to go away was my FAB Ultra Repair Cream. It was the dumbest $9 I've spent this year.
