Hello Everyone so this Month I had so many products I loved that I decided to break them up into groups to make it easier . This post is dedicated to my favorite Blushes this Month. I am pretty sure you all have gotten wind of the new Milani Baked Blushes. They are Super Gorgeous and Pigmented. I found most of mine at my local Walgreens or if I am not mistaken I hear they also carry them at Walmart for a few cents cheaper. For an online option there is also Cherry Culture which carries a lot of Milani , Nyx, Eyeko Products as well.

There were also a few other Blushes that I loved by Elf, Nyx and Urban Decay.

Hi Beauty Bloggies I hope everyone Had a Wonderful Easter this past Sunday!This isnt Makeup Related but thought I would share anyways. I was definitely a Busy Bunny this year. My Husband and I had Easter Dinner with the Family and then it was back to our place for Desert. I was working on a little project that I had been wanting to do for a few months now and finally did it. Super Time consuming but was fun:

Today I am super excited because I have been dying to let you all in on this amazing product. I recently just learned about BB cream while browsing the Internet and one of the You Tube videos I watched featured this item. Now I definitely was intrigued because it was like anything I have ever used before.


Now let me fill you in on some History I found on it:

HISTORY: Invented in 2007 based on German laser skin treatment R&D technology, Skin 79 launched the 1st BB cream cosmetic product in the market. Korean celebrities including Song Hye Kyo is amongst the first to use it. It later gained exponential popularity due to its excellent results and more than a million of BB cream products were sold in Korea that year itself. Today, BB cream are being manufactured by many other popular Korean cosmetic brands as well including BRTC, Dr. Jart+, Hanskin, Skin79, Etude, Missha, Skinfood and Liole. It is currently the hottest cosmetic product in Asia and the most popular cosmetic product used by Korean celebrities.


BB CREAM = Base + Foundation + Concealer + (Natural Makeup) + Sunblock + Moisturiser + Oil Control + Healing Properties (Skin Regeneration, Pore Tightening, Skin Toning) + Optional Feature (Anti-Wrinkle/Brightening/Whitening)



EFFECT OF BB CREAM:
INSTANTLY AFTER YOU APPLY: 
It provides coverage  just like a foundation by covering up all acne, pores, marks, lines and uneven skin colour spots BUT without clogging the pores/damaging the skin. Instead, it helps tighten pores and improve the skin condition.
 
AFTER 1 MONTH OF CONTINUOUS USE:
After continuously using it for a month of you, it will leave you with better skin complexion (much smoother, softer and refined skin).
How this works is that every time you use it, it acts as a protective layer which controls excess oil and at the same time giving it enough moisture it to make very healthy. It also protects against all harmful UV rays and environmental damage so that your skin will stay healthy. Plus with its special healing properties derived from its natural ingredients (such as White Hazel, Aloe & Caviar extract) which promotes skin regeneration and pore tightening, the end result after using it for 1 month of more is a much smoother, softer and refined skin that will make your face complexion gorgeous!

General BB Cream Characteristics:

 

• Provides coverage just like a foundation but without clogging pores/damaging the skin
• Natural no makeup look
• Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and marks
• Perfect coverage without clogging pores
• Quick all-in-one base, foundation and concealer
• Healing properties which soften, smoothen and refine skin
• Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
• UV Protection for healthy skin (check product details for SPF level)
• Some BB cream has additional features such as anti-wrinkle, whitening functions etc. (check product details for more info)

If you think it's impossible for there to be such an awesome cosmetic product, just walk in to any cosmetic counter in Korea and ask them. Almost all girls in Korea not only knows it but loves it!

Ok Ladies so Sounds great so far right? I got this info from a site I had been reading up on for a bit.

So what I have gathered so far it is A Blemish Balm. Not quite sure what Beblesh is but I guess they were trying to say Blemish? Ha Ha. They all say this on it!

I also understand that there are a few Ebay sellers that carry this and other online stores. However a lot of what I learned is that there are many Knock Offs of this Item as well because it is so popular.

One of the ways I learned to Spot a Fake was on the Back of the Box some have the website Skin79 printed on the back . It is not Suppose to have the website on it :

No website on the back of the Box. Also I have read that on Fake ones the instructions are in Chinese and are suppose to be in English.

It should also have this Authenticity label on it.

Refer here so you can see for yourself directly from Skin79

There are soooo Many different types of BB cream to fit your needs and range in prices also.

There are plenty of sites with images of knockoffs and plenty of videos explaining how to spot a Fake. So do your research Ladies!

Pros:

Smell is very pleasant not Overwhelming

Has consistency of a Tinted Moisturizer

Blendable 

Little goes a looong Way

Great for Fair Complexions

Cons:

Limited Shades for those of us that are anywhere from NC35 or Higher

Doesn't do much for concealing for me as it claims. 

Can't use as a foundation right now because it is too light 

Ok now for the Fun Stuff:

After Blending

 Slight Grayish Cast and still too light for me.

My Solution :

 Mix with my Benefit You Rebel Tinted Moisturizer

Much Better! After setting with a Powder Out the Door I go.

So here I am just straight BB cream and Tinted Moisturizer Nothing Else Daring I know LOL:

Closer 

After Some Blush and Bronzer:

Loving this new Lipstick I got BTW ha ha  I know off topic but def in my April Faves!

I purchased this item on Amazon for around $14 with shipping and took about a week and a half from Korea which I thought was not bad at all!

So far I am loving this and makes my skin feel great. I did find that they Make one in a Shade Darker but it is sold out everywhere but I am trying to get it so I can review as well and do not have to mix any more.

Will be doing another review over the weekend on some other Asian Items I got and there websites also. 

So sit tight and will see you guys soon!

Hey everyone so today  I decided on this dreary rainy day to finally do a look. My fellow blog Buddy Jaqueline aka A Brilliant Brunette sent me one of the eyeshadow towers from Glamour Doll Eyes. This particular tower was named after her and I had been trying forever to get them but whenever I went to purchase it the site was always down . I was inspired by the look she did with these colors and even though it did not come out as perfect as she did it I customized the look more for me. Now I also need to add I haven't had a chance to do my Eyebrows in a bit so please do not pay attention to them I know they are horrific but will be going soon to get them threaded.

Hello Everyone it has been a while since my last blog post but couldn't wait any longer to let you guys know how I did at IMATS! This was my 1st time going to Imats and it was the 1st time it was here in NYC! I chose to go on Sunday instead of Saturday because I had a feeling it would be pure madness! As I read a few people on twitter's feed sure enough it seemed like it was nothing but pure Mayhem and crowding from what everyones pics and comments said. i was afraid this was going to ruin the experience for me and stress me out all together.

i was originally going to take the train , but realized it was just easier for my sister-in-law and I to just drive in and took us Literally 15 mins to get there and 10 mins to find parking!! Yeah 10 mins un heard of in NYC! I can see the long line turning the corner and was starting to get anxious! By the time we went to park and walked over the line was gone and we waited no more than 5 mins to get in. Once we were in maybe another 10 to do registration and get our wristbands. Was awesome so far!

As we walked in we saw all the Stage Makeup and Theatrical makeup items. It was so amazing the special fx and how makeup is used in movies.

We went up a bunch of stairs and low and behold We were in what seemed to be Makeup Heaven! My mission was to hit the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Booth 1st. I had heard the lines for this company were ridiculous and was afraid I would never get my hands on the infamous Lip Tars.
