L'Oreal Paris Advanced Suncare Silky Sheer BB Face Lotion SPF 50+ Review

{

I am in search for a SPF for summer time since my main source of SPF is from Garnier's BB cream, that's going to get pretty oily on my face soon.  It works for winter and on days i'm only going to be wearing it for a short time, but I need something that'll keep my skin matte and make my foundation stay on without caking.  Hopefully this will be the one.."hopefully"

From website:

L'Oreal Paris Advanced Suncare introduces its first-ever BB facial broad spectrum sunscreen.

• Dermatologist tested
• Noncomedogenic/non-acnegenic formula
• With hexiplex

It protects skin with a patented UVA/UVB filter and evens skin for a healthy tinted complexion.  This multi-acting formula is infused with powerful antioxidants vitamin E and white grape seed to help keep skin healthy and youthful-looking.  Just shake to activate this virtually weightless lotion.  This unique formula absorbs quickly and layers invisibly under makeup leaving a silky soft, matte finish on skin.

 

Active Ingredients: Avobenzone (3%), Homosalate (10.72%), Octisalate (3.21%), Octocrylene (6%), Oxybenzone (3.86%)

Inactive Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Alcohol Denat., Silica, Dicaprylyl Ether, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, PEG 30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Dimethicone, Cyclohexasiloxane, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Nylon 12, PEG 8 Laurate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Dodecene, Sodium Chloride, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Aluminum Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Iron Oxides, P Anisic Acid, Tocopherol, Disodium EDTA, Poloxamer 407, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Lauryl PEG/PPG 18/18 Methicone, Caprylyl Glycol, Isostearyl Alcohol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Poly C10 30 Alkyl Acrylate

It's really runny but blends and absorbs super quick.  It does dry to a silky sheer finish.  The tint is pretty orange i'd say.  It looks beige in my pic but when you blend it out, it'll be dark.  So if you've got a good tan this will work for you, if not, i'd suggest not skipping your neck and chest area. 

How I Put Lashes On To Last All Day

I use Modlash's clear eyelash glue to apply my lashes.  It dries fast and does leave a shine but I usually go over it with my NYX black liquid liner again. 

When I apply my lashes like this, it stays on all day because it's able to bend and flex when I blink.  Usually when I put the whole strip on, the front or end starts to "lift" off my eyes which looks ridiculously weird and unflattering.

With the cut up pieces of lashes, I rarely find lifting, and i'm able to to get them closer to my lashes, making it look more natural. 

I've been getting compliments on my lashes lately and the best part about doing it this way is, you can double stack where you want it to without having it feel super heavy. 

I hope this helps and I hope you all enjoy!  Stay warm!

Brows - ELF Studio Brow Kit

Eyes

I applied the glitter liner all over my inner lids, over Dollymix.  I did thin lines til I was happy with the coverage of the glitter.  It honestly didn't take too much since this liner is nicely pigmented.

Lips
-Jordana easy liner (dark purple to line the lips)
-Wet n Wild Fergie Penthouse Sweet (all over)

-Wet n Wild Dollhouse Pink (center of lips)

LOVE NYX LIQUID CRYSTAL LINERS!! 

I have zero fallout and they stay on all day.  The glitter is so beautiful! 

Brow Tutorial with ELF's Studio Eyebrow Kit in Dark

You don't always need pricey items to get good brows ;)

I've learned that by drawing my "tail" end of my brow first, it helps me control how i'm going to shape my brow.  After drawing out the bottom part of my brow I use the leftover wax on my brush to blend out and fill in the rest of my brow. 

Defining my brow, I use a really dark brown shadow to outline the bottom part of my brow then blend upwards.  I try not to touch the front part of my brow too much. 

I almost always clean up with concealer underneath because it adds more definition.  Remember, brows don't need to be twins but definitely sisters..our cousins lol

Hope you all enjoy! 

Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color in Fiery Coral + Valentines Look

Firstly, I have no idea why this lip color photographs more pink.  It is definitely coral in person.  I've tried both my iPhone and DSLR, and it still comes out this way.  Definitely, see this in person before ordering it online or anything.  I feel the same way about the violet one i'll do a review soon. 

* FOTD *
ELF $1 eyelid primer

inner crease - NYX loose pearl powder in light gold
outer and blending color - coastal scents smokey palette (purple + pink section)
browbone - Sephora Sweet Boudoir
liner - NYX liquid liner (skinny brush)
inner highlight - white shimmer one from the NudeTude palette

foundation - ELDW 3W1
setting powder - Maybelline Dream wonder in Classic Ivory
bronzer - Jane (matte one)
cheeks - buxom seductive + Illamasqua Katie for highlight

brows - ELF's $3 brow kit

lips - Milani Fiery Coral

 

I know these are getting hypes, but I'm so-so about these.  I feel it is pigmented, but will definitely feather so be sure to use a lip liner/primer.  The color itself might come off clownish on some, I feel this would be a beautiful color on darker gals ;)

 

PROS: different color from usual drugstores
affordable ($6 at walgreens)
pigmented
pleasant scent
smooth/not sticky

CONS: i'm not a fan of the applicator (doe foot)
feathers, definitely

 

Those are rooster feathers in my hair btw!  I'll do a post soon and where you can find them :) 

 

Sephora Colorful Eyeshadow swatches! (Ballet Shoes, Sunday Brunch, Sweet Boudoir)

Sephora released these a while ago but I definitely love their single eyeshadows!  Pigmented and at $13 each I feel i'm going to grow a collection soon.  They have a huge color selection and different types of finishes.  Since I bought 3 I was able to get the palette for free.  :)  (that little key on the side is used to depot the shadows)

Sunday Brunch is a coppery shimmer shadow.
Sweet Boudoir is the perfect matte highlight!
Ballet Shoes is a really pretty silver glitter highlight :)

 

They came in single pots but you are able to depot them easily with the little key that comes in the palette (or something small and flat).

The palette is great, comes with a mirror but as you can see it gets dirty easily.  None the less, I love it!
