INGLOT at Aventura

No Comments

To get prepared for our The Blogger Meetup Miami Meet + Sweet event, fellow Co-founder Danielle (who blogs over at Shikshin) and I were so excited by the offer from the INGLOT store in Aventura to get our makeup done for our event! The Aventura store is beautiful – it’s so bright and colorful, it’s definitely like being a kid in a candy store! My makeup was done by Laura, and she was AMAZING! She did an incredible job, even on our tight time crunch! I am also totally in love with the foundation she used – it lasted through the Miami heat all day and night. It was the HD Perfect Coverup Foundation (I was shade 76). Thanks to the amazing team and INGLOT and the sweet ladies in the Aventura store for our beautiful looks!

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. This particular BB Cream definitely hits the all-in-one mark, using “Beautifying Beads”, which are encapsulated pigments infused in an ultra-light lotion with antioxidants Vitamins C&E. (The cream comes out of the tube white, and as you apply it to your face, it turns to it’s namesake shade, and blends perfectly.) It…

A Closer Look at AVEENO’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes

No Comments

I first gave you a peek of AVEENO’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes here, when I introduced some of their new summertime product additions. As I briefly mentioned there, I have had trouble finding a great makeup remover. I typically use baby oil, or a deep cleansing face wash while I am in the shower. The latter still doesn’t complete the job 100%, and baby oil can just be so messy.As always, AVEENO’s new makeup removing wipes do not disappoint. Their fresh smell and non-irritating formula, make for the perfect remover wipe that doesn’t burn my eyes (as many makeup removers do), and leaves my skin soft and smooth. The wipes use Active Naturals® Calming Feverfew™ – Feverfew is a natural calming flower, and is related to chamomile, which explains the soothing and gentle qualities. The package also has a hard plastic closure that snaps shut, as opposed to some other makeup removing wipe packages that…
