Favorite: Youtuber gossmakeupartist

gossmakeupartist aka Wayne the winker is pretty awesome. He is truly an amazing makeup artist and gives techniques that are 'outside the box' . There are so many youtube beauty gurus or MU artists who spew the same information over and over, not my buddy Wayne, he comes up with things that are like.. WHAT?? WHY didn't I come up with that idea? Pretty Cool.

Now for the not so important facts, ahh he is easy on the eyes girls/boys. He is entertaining and sometimes hilarious, and best of all he winks at you at the end of every video. It's all about the little things. Check this dude out, guarantee that he will teach you something new or at least develop a crush :)

Garnier BB Cream Review

Garnier BB Cream readily available at your local drugstore for an okay price! Exciting eh? Well here's a little background on my skin:

NW 15-20/light complected with pink undertones
Combination Skin/Oily T-zone
Hyperpigmentation

Okay you get the idea...

Packaging is whatever, just squeezy tube, does the job.. its fine.

When I first started to apply, you get a huge wiff of the lovely Garnier scent. Now most of you that have used Garnier products know what I mean, and maybe some of you don't like the fragrance at all, to each their own.

It was nice a creamy, blended okay with fingers but I found that I had a better application with the Sigma F80 brush. It helps it blend nicely into the skin and what not. Coverage is nice, light.. but with more of an orangey tone.. the Light/Medium was not light enough for my skin at least not yet. In the summer it will be cool beans though.

Wear: I set it with a translucent powder because of my oily paranoia and it lasted fine throughout the day.. I did become a little oily of course in the middle of the day but thats normal for me. It wasn't enough for me to have to blot. It did NOT transfer, which is something I have had an issue with BB creams in the past. So all in all I do recommend you give it a whirl if you are looking for something new or a hardcore asian BB cream lover and feel like bashing the US versions! :D haha. They don't compare thus far in my opinion :)

Try it guys! If you hate it, return it and call it a day :) Let me know what you guys think.

Selena Gomez shares makeup must haves!

If you don't know who Selena Gomez is you've been living under a rock! This month in an interview with Teen Vogue she shares some of her favorite beauty items.
“I travel so much and it makes my skin dry. I have two bottles [of lotion] always,” “I have a lot of chapstick. I do Burt’s Bees or Rose Bud. And I have hair ties because I’m always putting my hair up.” she says to Teen Vogue.

Woot for Selena knowing that Burts Bees is up there with the top chapstick contenders. BB Pink Grapefruit seems to be her favorite 

Also she carries Rosebud Salve around, which makes sense seeing as it basically hydrates everything it comes in contact with! Give it a whirl guys, its worth the $6.

Mac Prolong Wear Concealer

I originally went in to get the infamous Studio Fix Concealer but they recommended this one simply because my “problem areas” were dry and if I went with the pot concealer it would end up looking cakey. So when I brought it home, I was like ehhh I don’t know, I hadn’t seen any reviews on this at the time, so I figured it would just be okay. Well boy was I wrong, I love this! It is a thinner consistency but covers like a cream only without caking up. It is pretty amazing, I use it for under eyes, blemishes, some discoloration spots, it can be used to conceal anything really. It is long wearing and feels light on the skin. Now the only draw back is the dang little pump, it tends to, no matter how much little pressure u apply, squirt out too much product and it gets a little messy. Other than that, woot to Mac :)

Top Favorites from Elf Cosmetics

I love Elf Cosmetics so I put together some of my favorites! Enjoy :)

 Eye Lash Curler: This $1 baby works wonders, does a great job of curling my lashes. The handy little grip handle is nice as well. The only issue is the pad does need to be replaced after a few months but at 1 buck I can’t complain too much. 

 Studio Cream Blush: With its one of a kind consistency (reminds me of fluffy play dough) and great pigmentation, these cream blushes are at the top of their game. I have the color “Vixen” which is a nice berry color. The only setback is their bulky packaging.

Cream Eyeshadow: Here you get a duo of cream eye shadow for a dollar. I have “Butter Pecan” which has a nice coral shade and a bronzey dark brown. They are creamy and if applied over a primer, and lightly, they will not crease. I like to use them under powder shadow but its up to you! I have had mine for over a year and it shows no sign of drying out :)

Studio Conditioning Lip Balm: A tinted lip balm with SPF 15 just screams summer to me. I like these and they feel so smooth on the lips, I have the color “Mellow Melon” which can be described as a milky pink with a hint of coral. I did wish they came in a different form other than the pot, just because for sanitary reasons, but of course elf has answered my prayers! They just released the “Moisturizing Lip Tint with Spf 8” so when I get a chance I plan to try that out.

 Super Glossy Lip Shine: I have been an elf customer for a while and I can’t figure out why I have not tried these sooner! I found some at my local Big Lots and decided to try one and I am in love. They have great pigmentation are not too sticky and last for a while on my lips, lets not forget that they are only a $1! They come in 12 different colors, my current summer favorites are “Candlelight” and “Pink Kiss”. Next time you place and order, try these out.
 

Studio Powder Brush: This guy is my “go to” powder brush everyday. I love it because of its flat top, it lets you pat the powder into your skin without disturbing foundation or concealer. Works great and I wash it regularly and it has never shed. For 3 bucks I love using this brush instead of powder puffs to set my foundation. 

 
Smudge Eye Sponge: The name says it all! Its a smudge sponge with a handle. I use this little guy to soften my eyeliner when its too harsh, he is my best buddy especially for a dollar. :) 

Studio Blushes:  I have like 5 of these! My favorite is "Candid Coral", these are great blushes for such a low cost of 3 bucks. I want to collect them all! They wear well and are nicely pigmented, some more than others to be honest.
