Clinique Different Moisturizing Gel (x2),  Too Faced Glitter Glue & Smashbox Photo Finish primer along with 2 sample products

I am a major fan of Clinique Moisturizing Gel, after discovering that this moisturizer is the only product that works for my sensitive combination skin and doesn't break me out, I cannot stop using this product. I have to stock up on this product always. 

Smashbox Photo Finish primer has been one of my favorite primers lately, it is a very good product for my combination skin during the Summer, Spring and Fall season. It reduces the oil production in face makeup and keeps my foundation in tact for hours. I use it in accordance with Phillips Milk of Magnesia during very humid weather conditions and best believe my foundation is pretty decent in the Florida climate.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter glue is a cosmetics glitter adhesive, I haven't used this product to give my review but from testing it on my hands with a random glitter it seems to hold up and adhere to the glitter smoothly.

FOTD: Boldly In The Red

Hello lovelies,


This FOTD is simple, classy and sweet. You may know I am obsessed with bold red lipstick, it's a statement in my makeup kit. I wear red lips just about any event or occasion, but as with different tones and shades of red, I vary my shades with the type of occasion.
For work, I go with a matte blue undertone red (eg. MAC Ruby Woo), for play I go with mattes and satin as well as orange reds or yellow undertone reds (eg. MAC Lady Danger, Russian Red and/or Red). I don't own any of these MAC lipstick yet but those where a list of examples for reference reason. However Revlon makes awesome matte red lipstick such as one staple of mines: Revlon In The Red.

FOTD: Dusk

Hello lovelies,

Today's Face of the day (FOTD) is my final look series for now featuring the Ebay 26 eyeshadow and blush palette. I will be revisiting this palette occasionally but I want to move onto other palettes I own and have been neglecting.
I was testing out foundations too because it's humid and I particularly find myself not wanting to do a full face makeup with my holy grail Revlon colorstay. When it gets to me stepping outside I feel like someone turned a water hose on me.  Hence I have tested and love the effect of Smashbox Tinted moisturizer and MAC pro-longwear concealer mixed together. This will be my foundation method of the next couple weeks/months until my the cold season arise.
