“Allergy Face” – Have You Heard About It?

No Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zyrtec. All opinions are 100% mine.Puffy, watery eyes, sneezing, an itchy nose and throat. These are all uncomfortable side effects from allergies, and they are definitely challenges when it comes to your makeup routine. You can use tea bags for eye puffiness, the best undereye concealers, or oversized sunglasses, but they don’t really help and they don’t relieve the allergy side effects. Zyrtec is calling these allergy symptoms “ALLERGY FACE™”, and they are helping to combat it with their allergy relief tablets. Most of us have experienced this, and it’s just about the worst feeling when someone tells you that you “look like you’re getting sick” or “look really tired/pale”, and I’m sure most of us have missed out on a fun night out because we felt that we were experiencing ALLERGY FACE™. Well, ladies, we are not on our own – check…

BB Crush

No Comments

I have a new BB Cream crush – it’s smooth, dewy, has the perfect amount of coverage, and is easy to apply. It’s L’oreal’s Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. It’s part of L’oreal’s “Magic by Studio Secrets Professional” Collection, which also includes their Perfecting Base Face Primer, Smooth Soufflé Blush, Lumi Light Infusing Prime, and Lumi Highlighter.If you don’t know, the concept of BB Cream is the idea of an “all-in-one” face product. It’s supposed to even out skin tone, give coverage and cover blemishes, provide moisturizing benefits, give skin a flawless dewy glow, and sometimes even provide SPF.
