Urban Decay Make-up Setting Spray

A few weeks ago, I purchased the Urban Decay Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray and I LOVED IT!!! Thanks to my Instagram Friend, The Dress Junkie, for recommending this product. 

I wear make-up quite often, so I decided to give this product a try  to see if it really worked....and...IT DID!!!  I used the setting spray prior to going out one evening, and at the end of the night my make-up was still flawless and my skin wasn't oily.  I was expecting the spray to be a little heavy, but it was very light and didn't clog my pores.  Because I like this setting spray so much, I decided to add it to my morning make-up routine.  I use it prior to applying my foundation and after I finish beating my face.
 

Although the setting spray is a little pricey, it’s well worth it! Especially if you wear make-up a lot and you find yourself having to do touch-ups frequently. I also found that you don't have to use a lot.  2-4 sprays will go a long way.  You can purchase The Oil Control Make-up Setting Spray and other Urban Decay products from Sephora, Ulta or go to www.urbandecay.com. 

O.P.I.: New Years Red-Solution

Now that Fall and Winter are upon us, I decided to look for a darker polish to wear on my nails and toes, (Yes, you should keep your feet looking nice in the winter too), and New Years Red-Solution by O.P.I was the perfect color for me. This metallic, deep red color goes on smoothly and wears very well.  It's also  a great color for the Holiday Season. 

Since O.P.I. is one of my favorite nail polish brands, when I saw this color on sale for $3, at Sephora, I had to purchase it!  This polish usually costs $10 a bottle, so this was a nice savings for me. 

Too Faced: The Naked Look

Over the summer, I won a contest hosted by Pretty Domestic Blog Site, (please follow on Twitter @1PrettyDomestic),  and the prize for the contest was a Too Faced "The Naked Look" Make-up Compact.  The compact included, two eye shadows, a blush and two lip glosses made of warm browns and neutral colors.  The colors aren't too overpowering and they give your face a nice beauty enhancement.   Every once and a while it's good for a Doll to tone it down a little.  

 

Too Faced make-up was definitely a change of pace for me.  I'm one for color, and the Naked Look line is exactly what it's called, a Naked Look.  The first time I tried it, I found myself putting a lot on, but after I took a step back from the mirror, I realized I didn't need a lot.  The eye shadow and blush goes on very smooth and has a slight sparkle to it and the lip gloss is creamy and glides on nice and easy.  Since the lip gloss is a little light, I use it in conjunction with another lip color.  I now use my Too Faced make-up for when I go to work or when I just want that "Natural" look.

 

If you're looking for more toned-down colors, Too Faced is the product for you.  Too Faced can be purchased at  Sephora and Ulta. 

Keeping Your Make-up Looking Fresh

Are you trying to figure out how to keep your make-up looking fresh all day/night without having to do touch-ups frequently?  Well, thanks to my Instagram Friend, The Dress Junkie, I'm now a fan of the Urban Decay Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray.  I absolutely LOVE this product!  The setting spray is very lightweight and it doesn’t feel like it’s clogging my pores.  I spray it on prior to putting on my foundation and again after I finish my make-up.  2-4 sprays are all you need and your make-up will be set for the rest of the day/evening.  I used this spray for the first time 2 weeks ago, for date night, and my make-up stayed flawless for several hours.  Not only did my make-up look good, but towards the end of the night, my skin didn't look oily.  If you wear make-up a lot and you find yourself having to do touch-ups frequently, try this product.  The Urban Decay Oil Control Make-up Setting Spray can be purchased at Sephora, Ulta or www.urbandecay.com. 

Sephora Glossy Gloss Lip Gloss

A Doll can never have too many lip gloss colors!! So on that note, let me tell you about Sephora's Glossy Gloss - Galore Lip Gloss.  This is another lip gloss that has a lot of shimmer to it.  It also keeps your lips moisturized and stays on for a long time.  I definitely CANNOT forget to mention how affordable it is.

 

A few weeks ago, I purchased the "Sparks Fly Mauve" color off the clearance shelf for only $7!!!  Now, this Doll lives for a great sale and the clearance rack.  Compared to the amount I've spent on other lip gloss brands, this was a HUGE savings.  For $7, I can have an entire rainbow of colors.  I may just have to visit Sephora again, to stock up on Christmas presents for some of my family members and friends. 

Clumps of Mascara

How many tubes of Mascara have you been through trying to find the right one that doesn't give you "Spider Eyes"?  I've been through quite a few.  Recently I tried L'OREAL's Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara and it gave my lashes great definition without the clumping.  The picture on the right is a before and after shot of my lashes.  With this product, I can now have full looking lashes everyday.  You can purchase L'oreal's Mascara from Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and other beauty stores.
