This is a video I posted several days ago and I wanted to do a very in depth review of each and one of them in my blog. It is very hard for me to find time to sit down and write, but honestly makeup is a passion of mine and I feel like this blog is a way for me to at least put my toes inside the industry. Its not about companies contacting me or anything it is just my way of discovering if this is truly who I want to be, professionally, of course. Anyways, I want to put a disclaimer that the products I mention are truly and sincerely the best products I have tried in 2012 and will continue to use in this new year.
Disclaimer: I want to let you guys know that my skin type is dry- very dry skin. During summer it becomes normal but not completely. I mention this because products that may work for me, may not work for you. I have also tried products and researched them on other bloggers who I know for a fact have oily or combination skin.
BB Cream:
For BB cream, or Blemish Balm I chose Banila Co. BB cream. It is almost impossible to know which bb cream suits you best with so many different brands that carry lines and types of bb creams that it is near to impossible to find one that will suit you. I found this one through this tv program called Get it beauty and they were mentioning the best of bb creams and ranking them. The number one bb cream according to them was Tony Moly bbcream, so I immediately ran out to buy it. I have to say it was a good bb cream but I feel like it didn't give enough coverage and moisture which is what I look for in all my products. I then bought Let me touched (weird name right? lol) and the kind of moussy, but creamy texture just captured my attention and loved immediately.
Reasons I love:
-Very moisturizing
- To get glowing and dewy skin
- Medium to full coverage
- Stays all day
Cons:
- Pricey in comparison to other bb creams
Concealer:
Concealer is honestly my bestie. I have panda eyes if not for concealer. It is so sad that when I do not wear concealer everyone ask me if I'm okay because I look really tired. Sad. I know. LOLErase Paste:
Reasons I love:-It is a salmony color (Salmon- Orange- Yellow cancel out Purple and blue) I could do a whole other post on this.
