Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge

Hello All!
So this post is going to be reviewing the "Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge". I have heard many things about this sponge and always wanted to try it out! So I went over to Targetand bought it :) It was 9.99 plus tax and I believe it is only available at Target? Unless there's other retailers that sell Sonia Kashuk. Anyways I was super excited because I heard nothing but good things! but then i watched some more videos and many of them said that the sponge was way to rough for their skin and that the Beauty Blender Sponge is SO much better. So I was honestly scared after I bought it! But then I used it and I'm wondering what the heck were these people talking about?!? Rough?! Its SO soft! and its a super dense sponge un-like those mediocre triangular make-up sponges. This sponge is amazing!! my foundation has never looked better on my skin! I use Mac's Studio Sculpt, which is a very creamy and thick foundation and its kind of hard to blend and whenever I used a foundation brush it would always be streaky. But with the sponge there was no streaking whatsoever!! And the way the sponge is shaped is awesome because it has a pointed tip which can really get into the little areas around your nose and under eye area. So for now I am amazed with this product and will definitely stick with it :) I really recommend it to all of you! Go over to Target and buy it!!

Muah!

My Eyelids are Greatful!

FINALLY
thats all I can say is FINALLY. My eyeshadow doesnt crease anymore thanks to Urban DEcays Primer Potion. I always wanted to purchase this but never did because of the price and I was afraid it would never work. But i finally got my hands on Urban Decay's Naked Palette(there will be a blog post soon!) and it came with a little mini size of UDPP. All I have to say is I have the most oil prone eyelids known to man. Everytime I would wear eyeshadow it would maybe last an hour tops(thats maybe even pushing it) until there would just be a line of eyeshaodw across my lids. After all teh reviews I had watched I was ecstatic to try this stuff and all i can say is WOW my eyelids are greatful! Not a bit of creasing! I tested it out for school one day and I wore eyeshadow from 10 in the morning till 7 at nigth and it looked at is I had just put it on! This product is amazing and i deffinitley reccomend you buy it :)

I used Mac's Satin Taupe(great colour btw) on top WITH UDPP and then below is a swatch WITHOUT UDPP see the difference? :)

Lipstick Jungle

I have never ever been a fan of lipsticks until recently. I always assumed that they would dry out your lips and have no staying power. Oh was I ever wrong! There hundreds if not thousands of lipsticks you can try out from affordable drugstore to more high end brands. I for one am a HUGE Mac lover, but sadly only have 2 of their lipsticks. They are around 17 dollars but its totally worth it! the lipsticks I have are Creme D'Nude(which my lovely friend got for me for x-mas) and Crosswires.Creme D'nude , as you can tell by the name is a nude lipstick with more of a peachy/beige undertone and Crosswires is a very wearable red! They are both cremesheen finishes, which means they are super mositurizing and have go on quite sheer. All I have to say is I love them. What I do is use a bit of chapstick before putting on any lipstick and then apply after that. Not only do I love Mac but I also love Rimmel as well. I have a couple of their Moisture Renew Lipsticks. Pink Star, Soft Coral and Dazzeling Rasberry. These are great but the only downside is that they dont really glide on smoolthy as they have a bit of sparkles in the formula. But for around 5 dollars I can't complain! Deffinitely go out and buy at least ONE Mac lipstick they seriously last forever and there is so many to choose from so you are bound to find one that suits you :)
