Favorite Makeup Products

4 Comments

Hey, Loves! Happy Wednesday! 

Long time no blog post? Ha! I have decided I am going to do a few blog posts per week from now on. Today I wanted to share what my current favorite makeup products are, since this is something I get questions about daily. These are products I use almost daily and have loved for quite some time.

Primers
To be honest, I haven’t always used a primer. But I recently found one that is amazing! I received a sample of Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer in Mood Light and fell in love. I bought a full size a few weeks back. Another primer I like is the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer.

Foundation
One of my all time favorite foundations is the Estee Lauder Double Wear. Perfect coverage, not too light or heavy, super build able, and long lasting. For a less expensive everyday foundation I recommend L’Oreal True Match.

Under eyes
The only concealer I have ever liked for under my eyes has been the MAC Pro Longwear concealer. Stays all day long and doesn’t crease. I set it with MAC Shaping Powder in shade Emphasize. This brightens up the under eyes SO much.

Pro Longwear Concealer

Eyes
My eyebrows are microbladed so I barely fill them in. When I do I use the IT Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow Pencil. This is my absolute favorite eyebrow product. It is one shade and it matches to your brow hairs… AMAZING!

My all time favorite eye liner is under $10 and is SO good. I have been using the L’Oreal Infallible Super Slim Liner for years. Stays on all day long, which is necessary.

Two last products I want to mention is my favorite lip combo. I use MAC Creme Cup lipstick and MAC liner in the shade Whirl ALL the time. My absolute favorite combo and something I get asked all the time!

Pamela Metamorphosis Review

Leave a comment

Happy Thursday! You guys all know I love trying new beauty + skincare products. For the past 2 months I have been testing out a few products from the newer skincare brand, Pamela Metamorphosis.

Pamela Metamorphosis is a skincare brand developed by Pamela Hill, RN. Pamela believes that skin care shouldn’t be complicated. She believes in results, tried and true ingredients, and healthy, beautiful skin.

So before we get into the products and my review you probably want to know what type of skin I have. I would say my skin is combination- as I get older my skin seems to get more dehydrated so I am always looking for a good moisturizer.

I tested the…
1. Sensitive Skin Cleanser
2. Vitamin C Serum
3. Green Tea Moisturizer
4. The Transformation Cream

SENSITIVE SKIN CLEANSER WITH SEA KELP

The Sensitive Skin Cleanser is created with orange peel oil, grapefruit peel oil, and a mild amount of retinol. It is gentle enough to remove makeup from the eye area, and mild enough that it’s even used on patients during or after a clinical treatment.

I use this directly after I wash my makeup off at night and in the mornings before I apply my moisturizer. Love how refreshed + clean my skin feels after using this cleanser.

VITAMIN C SERUM

The Vitamin C Serum harnesses the power of antioxidants to protect your skin against free radicals, defend against pollution, and reduce the amount of visible sun damage. This fast-absorbing serum has a milky texture that will leave your skin feeling hydrated and dewy, but never greasy. Because it absorbs so quickly into the skin, it is ideal for layering under your moisturizer.

I use this only in the mornings before I apply my moisturizer. It gives my skin a nice natural dewy glow.

GREEN TEA MOISTURIZER

This light, fast-absorbing moisturizer quenches your skin to revive its overall appearance. Packed with the antioxidants found in green tea, vitamin E and plankton extract, it protects your skin from free radicals and helps prevent aging, (it is NEVER too early!). The Green Tea Moisturizer is creamy and silky and is suitable for all skin types, including acne prone skin.

This moisturizer made my skin feel so soft and hydrated! I love that it is light weight and fast absorbing. I use this both mornings and night.

TRANSFORMATION CREAM

The Transformation Cream has been developed with a powerful combination of three peptides that firm and plump skin, reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines. This silky, fast-absorbing serum offers immediate changes in your skin that are visible from the moment you apply it. In addition to Pamela’s Tri-Peptide Complex, the Transformation Cream is formulated with vitamins C and E, a unique, complementary pairing that makes the vitamins absorb more readily and work more effectively on your skin.

This stuff is amazing! It has greatly reduced my pores within the first few days. I apply this only at night, after cleansing and before moisturizer.

Final Thoughts-

Overall, I love this brand and their skincare! All of their products are cruelty free and formulated with only the best ingredients. They have products for all skin types including, oily, combination, dry, sensitive, and even for men! Let me know if any of you decide to try it, I highly recommend! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
