Face of the Day & Mini Reviews

Today I met a friend for coffee that I hadn't seen in such a long time. Whenever we get together after a while we just sit and talk for hours and it's so nice to catch up and chat with a good friend. I didn't do anything special with my makeup, this is pretty much my everyday look with a few new products thrown in. Lately, I haven't really been messing with eyeliner too much, but I did line my upper lashline and left my lower lashline with just some mascara. I also went for a nude lip and pink cheeks with a blush my mom has, which I love!

Face:

• Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in 810 Classic Ivory
• Great coverage, lasts well throughout the day, I just wish I had gotten the lightest shade because this one is a little too dark for me.

• Physicians Formula Conceal Rx Physicians Strength Concealer in Natural Light
• Thick with good coverage, blends in nicely and is not cakey looking.

• MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW 15 under the eyes
• Another product with very good coverage, also has a very nice sheen to it which makes it really nice for under the eyes.

• Clinique Super Balanced Powder Makeup in 01 Natural
• I love this because it's a powder that you grind each time you use it. I prefer loose powder because I think it's easier to apply evenly over your entire face. This powder blends very nicely and actually layers well if you want to skip concealer and use a smaller, more dense brush to add a little extra powder over a blenmish.

• elf Contouring blush and bronzer duo for contour
• This is super cheap at $3 for both a bronzer and blush, both of which I love. They are super pigmented and are nice colors that suit a lot of people.

• Clinique blush in 108 Cupid
• I'm visiting home for a while and I found this in my moms makeup bag. I know she loves it and says she's been using it for a while and you can't even tell by looking at it in the pan. It's a medium pink with subtle sparkle and on your cheeks it looks so smooth and airbrushed.

Eyes:

• Milani Brow Tint Pen in 02 Dark Brown on my brows
• I was skeptical of this because I've never heard of a liquid pen for brows, but it's very quick and easy. You do have to use a spooly or brush to make sure it's blended, though.

• Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense in 07 intense ivy
• This was part of a free gift with purchase and I LOVE this. After using it a couple of times I looked to see what it was called and I thought the name "quickliner" fit it perfectly. For someone like me who has trouble with all types of eyeliner on the top lashline, this is SO easy.

• 2 coats of Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara in black on the top lashes
• Another gift with purchase, it's nice, I like it, especially after 2 coats, but I wouldn't buy the full size.

• Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in Black
• Just got this and am really liking it so far.

Lips:

• Flower Beauty Nude Lipstick (No idea of the name, it's in the black packaging, though!)
• I really like the color and it's opaque. I have trouble finding nude lipcolors that are opaque on their own without using a little foundation over my lips first. What I don't like about it is that it's not the creamiest lipstick, you can feel gritty pieces in it when you apply it and it just isn't as smooth as I'd like.

• Estee Lauder lipgloss in 46 Sun Burst
• This gloss smooths out the lipstick really nicely. It's a peachy-nude color with subtle sparkle.

Look out for full reviews on a couple of these products in the future!
