Revlon Bare It All Review

When I’m going out to a party where I know there will be a lot of pictures, I have one secret product that I always use that makes me photograph well.  Revlon’s Bare It All is a shimmer lotion that I apply on my cheekbones on top of my other makeup.  It gives me a light glow that makes every picture a good picture.  I look and feel radiant when I’m wearing Bare It All.  It is fairly heavy as far as creams go, but it’s definitely worth it.  I have the Pink-A-Boo shade, which matches my skin tone perfectly.  The bottle has lasted me years and you definitely get your money’s worth out of this product, which is inexpensive to begin with.  I highly recommend.

You can purchase Revlon’s Bare it All at any drugstore for around $7

NARS Orgasm Blush Review

NARS Blush in Orgasm has long been the most touted blush around receiving numerous rave reviews from magazines and bloggers alike.  I discovered this blush in the back of my mother’s makeup drawer last year and did my daughterly duty and sniped it.  Now, I love it.  The buttery pink blush has slight undertones of copper which looks great on warm skin tones.  There’s definitely a sheen to the blush, but by no means overpowering.  I use this pretty much every day in the spring, fall, and winter to give me a slight flushed rosy-cheek look.  I adore this blush.

You can purchase NARS Orgasm Blush from Sephora for $27

Cargo Bronzer Review

A few months ago ULTA discontinued my everyday bronzer and I just about died.  Bronzer is my only salvation of not looking like an albino.  I took a trip to my local Sephora and asked the makeup artist for a bronzer that won’t make me look like Snookie.  He handed me the Cargo Medium Bronzer.  It gives me color, but not too much that it looks unnatural.  There’s a shimmer, but just a hint, that makes it look like a sun-kissed glow.  The consistency is great, super silky and easy to apply.  The packaging has caused a lot of controversy in the reviews, but I personally love it.  I think it’s a very classic tin and very study.  I am the worst with throwing things in a big bag and having compacts break, but Cargo has definitely kept up.  The bronzer is $38, but for $39 you can buy the set which comes with a full size bronzer, kabuki brush, and adorable travel case  that looks like an international envelope.  I use this bronzer constantly and love it.  Last week, I turned my girlfriend onto the same one and she also loves it.

Ooh La Lift by Benefit Review

On my latest shopping spree, m best friend and I got our makeup done at the Benefit counter in the mall.  Our makeup artist, Juliana, was a blast and talked us through everything she did.  My favorite item was the under eye concealer, Ooh La Lift, she used.  Even though I was super sleep deprived, it covered my dark circles no problem.  The light pink balm can be applied on bare skin or over makeup for an instant eye lift.  It has  raspberry extracts and light-reflecting pigments for a bright undereye.  It’s easy to use and really works.  Plus, on the inside of the box it reads “moderation in excess!” which is very closely related to my own motto “nothing is ever too much.”

Ooh La Lift can be purchased at Sephora or Macys for $22

Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture

Years ago, I was getting ready for a night out with a girlfriend and she sprayed me with a bit of her perfume.  It was light and floral and sweet, but not too light, too floral, or too sweet.  It smelled so good and I couldn’t get enough.  Finally, I purchased my own Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture and wear it every day.  It lasts all day and it magically gives me confidence.  Plus, how can you not love the bottle?!  Heavy glass with a crystallized bobble top, complete with a hot pink bow and a ton of bling.  I feel like a princess every time I put it on!  This is definitely one of my favorite perfumes.  I have a bad history of selecting perfumes that always get discontinued, so hopefully this one sticks *fingers crossed*

Viva La Juicy is available at Sephora for $89

DiorShow Extase Mascara Review

A couple of months ago, I decided I was allergic to my mascara and needed a newer, higher quality one.  I read InStyle’s beauty reviews that voted DiorShow Extase was hands down the best all around.  I also found out that my roommate uses it, and it’s absolutely impossible to not be jealous of her lashes.  Now I know why!  You only have to apply one coat to get perfectly covered lashes.  It makes them super thick and almost looks liked you’re wearing falsies.  It is not flakey at all, even after hours of wear.  I’ve gone swimming several times and it never leaves me with raccoon eyes but comes off easily in the shower.  This is the best mascara I’ve ever used and I’ll probably never switch!  In this case, the price tag justifies the amazing quality of this mascara.

You can purchase DiorShow Extase at Sephora for $28
