Jordana Complete cover 2 in 1 Concealer & Foundation

SO, if you follow me on YOUTUBE you'll know that I'm a HUGE +Lancome USA fiend. Period. Following close.. but not toooooo closely is +MakeupForever...

For drugstore I have been LOVING +L'ORÉAL PARiS  (tru match) and now this Jordana.

It will be released in February 2015. YOU MUST get your hands on this. When I received it my friend Giselle swatched it... and her WHOLE jaw dropped...  OMG she goes "this feels like the Estee Lauder"... which I am also a fan of as well.

So my friend +QueenGesus compared this foundation which will cost all of $2- $3.99 in Walgreens, to a $50 product.

I tried it on my hand & LOVED it . Wore it on my face the next day mixed with some moisturizer just to run some errands, and I AM ENAMORED!

THE BREAKDOWN

Texture | Soft and creamy. It's very well pigmented.

Coverage | The name says it ALL. Maximum coverage!
it's buildable and great if you suffer from hyper-pigmentation
GREAT for under eye and BOMB for highlighting and contouring. 

Color Choice | I LOVE the color choices. They have a GREAT color 

called "Golden honey" and if you are South Asian you will LOVE this color. It's deep, yet

still olive toned- and AMAZIIING! 

Wear | It wears SO well. I would say it's best for combo skin. While it does not have a 

matte finish "oily girls" can wear it too. With a GREAT primer this foundation is a STAR!

Users with dry skin will also LOVE this as an option! 

Scent | No noticeable scent or reaction from this formulation. 

Perks | I have heard great things about Jordana foundation before, but HONESTLY the old packaging was NOT my fave. I LOVE this new tube. The packaging got me on bored. 

I feel as though it looks professional and I would be proud to use this on gigs... 

Draw Backs | Ummmm ok so I know some people have an issue finding this 

brand. I will say Walgreens and "the beauty supply store" are my go to places for this brand. 

The Finish | In my Eddie Murphy voice "What is this Velvet" LOL it is SO soft

and smooth... it goes on HIGH END. Like a luxury moisturizer. 

Conclusion | I LOVE it. LOL. It will be added into my routine. I use mahogany as a contour and Golden toffee as my base and LOVE golden caramel as a highlighter. 

Rating | 5 STARS YES!

I give it 5 stars because of the price and the packaging!

I also salute this foundation because this brand continuously 

grows and grows.. I like that! 

Keep up the GREAT work Jordana!

NYX High Voltage Lippies Swatches + Review

Beautifully pigmented and creamy.

 I am VERY excited about these +NYX Cosmetics High Voltage lipsticks. 

The array of color is amazing, as to be expected with NYX.. 

They NEVER spare the drama.

Definitely the kings of inexpensive prestige makeup brands, in my opinion... 

My favorite products from NYX have to their skin prep & finishing 

products. 

i.e (primers and finishing sprays)

Next favorite is for sure their lip products! I was pretty excited to get invited to their

annual after IMATS party... It was a Masquerade ball and it was beautifully

adorned with projected NYX logos and makeup 

and cupcakes & a flip book booth,  OH MY!

Click HERE to see photos from the night 

It was amazing, open bar and gift bag HEAVY! My.Type.Of.Party... 

In the gift bag their were over 300 products. YES I said 300!!

Of the MAJOR swag in my bag, the High Voltage Lipsticks stood out!

 I HAD to do a quick review on the new objects of my affection... 

I've had a few days to play with them here are my thoughts... 

Texture | Creamy moisturizing more of a balm consistency. I find that they go on better

and stay on longer when your lips are moisturized and hydrated, yet not wet to the touch. 

Color Choice | I LOVE the color choices! They have the 90's colors we all love... The un shakable HOT orange and warm purple tones that has been killing for like 4 years now and some beautifulllll

mauves... I love the nudes available as well!

 A veritable rainbow of awesome lip days and nights... I can see it.. falling asleep in a 5 color purple ombre lip.. 

This in my future REALLY! 

The wear | They wear pretty well to be as moisturizing as they are, and like most lip products

they last longer & wear a bit better with a lip liner or base. 

The Scent  These have a baby soft hint of vanilla. Super clean and undetectable even to

the most scent-setive of noses.

Perks | They layer well! I have created SO many ombré lips looks with these lippies it's crazy! 

I love that you can have fun with so many at once! 

Drawbacks | Slim to none. As to be expected some colors are more pigmented. 

The reds (of corse the brown tones and the purples) reign supreme.... 

Conclusion | I LOVE that they have SO many warm and cool counter parts! 

I love the slim packaging

& the fact that you can se the color straight away! 

I love that the are virtually scent free & layer sooo well!

The Finish | Some have more of a buttery finish a few of the reds

and the dark purple finish almost like a liquid lipstick. Very smooth velvety even!

RATING / 4.7 out of / 5

I can't WAIT for these to be available in mattes (because I know they will) ...

That is THE only thing I can really comment on. 

I am a HUGE matte girl! I will certainly

use these (to death) 

I just know if they were matte they'd KILL the scene!

.. even harder.. lol

Check out these swatches!!

Great Concealer for Dark skin NARS Lancome & More

Hi guys!!

Just wanted to stop by and share some of my current favorite concealers. They are high end and I will answer this response with a drug store version. When it comes to concealer and complexion makeup you have to be aware or your preferences and why they're important. Skin type, tone and texture ALL need to be taken into consideration.

Here are my coordinates

Type | Combination to oily
Tone | Warm & cool depending on area and blemish type.
Texture | My skin is fairly smooth, but I tend  to have enlarged pores from time to time.

So with this information I decide to purchase

Waterproof or resistant concealers that have a mixture of tones... My skin is semi smooth so a
little shimmer is ok.. but it's also combination to oily so it's not necessary.. Meaning I could go for a matte finish If I wanted....

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in "Amande" (http://bit.ly/1HYBULX)

I am a BIG fan of this product. It is APTLY named. Creamy and radiant! It is warm in tone so I tend to use it a a highlighting concealer. It has a slight shimmer to it and is creamy.. so this would also be great for dryer skin types. The best part about it is the finish and pigmentation. It doesn't finish
too creamy or dry and a little goes a long way... It really does a beautiful job of lifting
the eye area....

RATE | LOVE 4.5/5

LANCOME 'Effacernes'  520 Dk Suede (http://bit.ly/1rxFPDU)

Ok so if you watch my youtube videos you'll KNOW how I feel about +Lancome USA . I BEEN a fan mannnn! LOL... SO it's NO surprise that Effecernes is my bae. It's water proof which I LOVE b/c unlike the +NARS Cosmetics  is gives you that beautiful MATTE dry finish us Oily girls crave! It's beauuuuutiful. Under Brown under eye around my mouth... it's a GREAT product, buuuut that's how Lancome does. 

RATE LOVE 5/5

LANCOME Maquicomplete Suede (http://bit.ly/1yN6iVn)

BEEN a fan! I LOVE this concealer... LOL it's a beautiful cooler tone so around my moth and in my
cheek area is where I use this most... It's creamier that the Effecern and  less glowy that theNARS it has such a thin FULL coverage formula and blends out AMAZINGLY well...

RATE 5/5

DIOR Skinstar Mocha (http://bit.ly/1yN57Fj)

This is my FIRST +Dior complexion product. I have had cheek and lip products from the perfume and mascara... so trying this, was a treat! Let me say I was PLEASANTLY surprised... Well, I wasn't surprised. Dior is a high end brand synonymous with prestige... While I was not surprised by the quality... I WAS surprised by the color selection. I was very happy to have a great match. It's creamy and has really nice pigmentation. It has a very natural finish.. No shimmer it's not matte and it's a very comfortable wear.. It definitely is a great concealer for girl who NEED and really desire a very natural finish.

RATE 4.5/5

MAC Pro Palette Medium (http://bit.ly/1rWFUm0)

SO the MAC palette has to be the best value for the money... You get the best of ALL worlds..
it's creamy yet not TOO much... you can set it.. It has several shade for highlighting contouring and color correction... This is a "gateway" palette.. it mixes and matches and makes EVERYTHING work... They have a few different shade of this palette.. I am medium but also want the dark palette. The Dark palette has a GREAT orange corrector that is FABULOUS for color correction... the only reason I can't give it 5 is I'm more of a dry finish type NO SHADE this is an awesome palette! +MAC Cosmetics

4.5/5
