Artisan Brush Collection by Make Up For Ever

I'm really excited to talk to you about this new brush collection Make Up For Ever has come out with. The minute I received these brushes I instantly fell in love with them. They look very different then any of the brushes I have in my collection. These just have a certain sex appeal to them and are so stylish looking. One of the unique things about these brushes is that the handles are made with beech wood and have a bevel end the end so its easier to use with faux lash application. The creator of Make Up For Ever Dany Sanz wanted to create brushes that could be used by a professional or an every day women. It took her Five years to perfect these brushes by testing out a variety of synthetic fibers that felt like real silky natural hairs. The brushes went through twenty five different stages and were hand crafted by thirty people from start to finish.



This collection has not one not two but Seventy six new brushes. So I'm sure there is a brush in there for you. The collection is classified in numbers so it's easier to indicate which number goes with what type of brush.

100's = Face brushes
200's= Eye brushes
300's= Lip brushes
400's= Artist Special brushes for a professionals

These brushes are now available on Sephora.com

Pro Finish by Make Up For Ever


I'm really excited to introduce to you guys this amazing new product Make Up For Ever has come out with. It's definitely a product for the women on the go like my self. On a day to day basis I usually don't wear liquid foundation. This new compact foundation is the perfect alternative to the liquid foundation. What's really cool about this compact foundation is that it can be used wet or dry. This way you can really create the prefect look for yourself. When applied wet it gives you a sheer, satin coverage and when applied dry it gives you full, matte coverage.So you can build up your coverage or wear it sheer. The Pro Finish is great to bring along with you for touch ups through out the day. What I like about this compact is that it's portable, has build able coverage and also it's really long lasting.. so you barely need touch ups.




The Pro Finish comes in 25 different shades making it the most comprehensive compact ranges in the market today. The Pro Finish comes in a black compact which also has a mirror and a sponge for the application. There are many ways to apply this foundation. When Applying it wet I usually pick up the foundation on the makeup sponge and then spray it with some water and then apply it to my face and when applying it try I usually use my small mac kabuki brush. This product is now available at the Sephora store's near you www.sephora.com.
It is valued at $36.

Fotd: Naked2

 I have had my Naked2 palette for awhile now. I ordered it they day Urban Decay announced it on twitter and was lucky enough to get it the first time before it kept getting sold out. When I received it I was very excited to play with it but then it just sat on my table for days. I would look at it and then put it away but never actually used it. I was also going to write up a full review of the Naked 2 palette and compare it to the original naked palette. But every blog and site and YT vid had a review on it so I decided never to post it. It's an awesome palette with some beautiful neutral colors the texture of the eyeshadows is really nice as well. If you have the original then I'm not sure if you really need the Naked2 but I have really enjoyed mine a lot.


So enough with the rambling let's get back to the Fotd. Tonight I went out for dinner and I knew I wanted to use my Naked2 and I also knew I wanted to use colors that I had not used before. I came up with this look were I used YDK, Snakebite ( which I think is my favorite color in the palette) and a little bit of Busted at the outer corners. I paired this look up with a pink shimmery gloss because I really wasn't feeling a lipstick. I hope you guys enjoy this look. Let me know if you also have the Naked2 palette and what your favorite color is ?

Make Up For Ever: HD Complexion Starter Kit

As you might know Make up For Ever is one of my favorite beauty brands. That being said The HD foundation from Make Up For Ever is my Holy Grail <3. I adore this foundation and go for it every single time I want to wear liquid foundation. It's not cakey and does not feel heavy on the face. It gives me the perfect airbrushed flawless looking skin. I was so excited to know when Mufe told me about this new HD complexion Starter Kit. I was already familiar with the products the kit has to offer. But I was really excited to share about this with you all and my friends who haven't used this foundation before.
           This is a perfect kit for someone who is new to Mufe and wants to try out there products. The starter kit comes with
*Hd Microperfection Primer #0
*Hd Invisible Cover Foundation
*Hd Microfinish Powder and Kabbuki Brush.



This is the ultimate kit for someone who wants to perfect there complexion and what's amazing about this kit is that you can personalize it with picking your own foundation shade. The HD foundation comes in 26 unique shades which range from lightest to the deepest so your sure to find your right shade. To help you with finding your right shade Mufe is also launching an interactive shade finder tool online – since clients are usually too afraid to buy foundation online for the first time because they don’t know what shade they are.  You can find the tool here if you want to try it out: www.hd.makeupforeverusa.com/shadefinder





With 3 easy steps you can achieve that naturally flawless skin. I think this is a great value considering all the products it comes with. I have been using these products for awhile now so I can tell you first hand that this stuff works.


The Kit is $79 and now avaliable at Sephora.com and Sephora stores













***Since Make Up For Ever is launching this Complexion Starter Kit they are also hosting there first ever open casting call to find the model for there next Unretouched ad campaign.

FOTD: Hot Pink

Yesterday was my Dad's Birthday and we were originally going to have family over and have dinner at home but last minute plans got changed and we ended up going out to my uncle's restaurant. We had so much fun and ate like crazy. I had bought a hot pink sweater from Forever 21 a while ago that I was dying to wear and last night was the perfect night to wear it. It was bright and kept me warm all night. I based my look according to the sweater and finally used my Urban Decay Naked2 palette for the first time. I hope you guys enjoy the look and let me know what you think about it :)

Holiday Gift Idea's 2011

The holiday Season is here and it's time for you to give your loved one's the most amazing beauty products and gift sets out for the season. So I'm here to share with you some gift ideas. The things mentioned here would make a perfect gift for a Beauty Addict like my self :)

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette or Naked 2

This is a must have for anyone who loves make up and it's the best selling palette of all time. This palette is suitable for any skin tone since it comes with 12 neutral eyeshadows that range from light to dark. If you or anyone your buying the gift for already has the naked palette don't worry because now Urban Decay is out with Naked 2 the second edition to the Naked palette which also has 12 neutral eyeshadows and would be a perfect gift for someone who loved the first naked palette.

2. Wild & Chic Best of Make Up For Ever Kit

If you are new to Make Up For Ever this would be the perfect gift for you. Since the set includes the company's Top 6 best selling products in which 3 are full size products.  The kit is valued at $55 and to me that's a great deal because if I went and bought these products separately it would cost me a lot more. The color's included in the kit are universal shades so they will flatter anyone who try's them. The set includes: HD Primer, HD Powder, Aqua Eyes in 0L, Smoky Lash in Black, Aqua Cream in #13, Lab Shine #S4

Sephora.com 



3. Wild & Chic Aqua Cream Collection by Make Up For Ever

If you are looking to splurge and want some high quality product then this is the palette for you. If you own any of the Aqua cream's you know how well they wear. The Aqua Creams are 100% waterproof and once you put them on they don't budge. This palette contains 10 different shades of the Aqua Creams and also comes with a brush. The shades in this palette are more on the neutral side so you will get good use out of them. Aqua Creams can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks. This is by far my favorite gift palette out of all the ones mentioned in this post. I adore my Aqua Creams and wear them pretty much every day. This set is priced at $175 you save $45 by buying this set instead of buying each aqua cream separately. Now that's a great deal :))

4. Nars- Danmari All about Cheek Palette

If you know Nars you know they are known for there Blush. Well this palette brings you 6 of there best blushes one which can be used as a highlighter and one which can be used as a bronzer.
