Products I LOVE!

Ok so I had some questions about what products I use for makeup.  First I have tried a ton of stuff...a ton, recommendations from friends, relatives but I have combination, very sensitive skin.  Apparently my eyelids sweat as well. Who knew that could happen!!!  Well this girl didn't!  My best friend clued me in on that when she mentioned that when your eye shadow cakes in the crease of your eye, that is caused by moisture.  So I tried some different products to stop the moisture so my eye shadow would stay in place.  I swear it took years to find something I love and now I want to share that bit of information with you.  I have a drawer full of beautiful make up that doesn't last all day, cakes up, dries up, gunks up;)  You get the picture.  Well sometimes we find what we were looking for in the most obvious of places.  Here is what I love...




The eye shadow's by Revlon last all day...not a hoax, because I have seriously been fooled before on this claim.  They have about a million color's to choose from and I get the most complements when I wear the plums on my green eyes.  The eye liners (liquid)  are equally as good and come in fewer colors than I would like but they work.  I am still holding my breath for a dark plum.  *hint*hint* Revlon!!!
Their color stay lip stick is great however I really like the Cover Girl ones better because of the top coat. I have been wearing these lipsticks for 2 years now and I used to hate lipstick.  I am a pretty simple girl and if make up takes a lot of maintenance, then it is not for me.  The lip color lasts all day, no need to reapply and it won't get all over your cups, tooth brush or husband;)  I always hated the makeup transfer issue...especially on clothing because sometimes...it doesn't come out in the wash.  The mascara...ahhh so great!  Lasts all day, doesn't flake, comes off easily with makeup remover or SOAP:)  Gosh so nice! I have contacts and stuff that flakes off into your eye is SO painful!  So there you have it...makeup that can be done once and then forgotten about for the rest of the day.  I love the simplicity of it and face it...who wants to spend your time in the bathroom retouching your make up all day...or have it flake off and you not know that one eye is still done up and the other is a mess?  Not me. I have enough pictures of me like that to fill a few photo albums because I, yes I...don't like to fiddle with makeup:)  I hope this helps you!  If you have any favorites, let me know. I am still looking for a good concealer that won't cause break outs. If you have one, let me know.  I have yet to find one that works for me and it gets expensive trying new ones out.  Thanks Everyone and have a good Wednesday!!!
