Black Opal Cosmetics – True Color Perfecting Primer

unnamed

I have been a fan of Black Opal Cosmetics for many years.  To start, I like my foundation to match the exact color of my skin tone.  I also seek to wear a foundation that provides moisture and full coverage.

For the last two months, I have been using True Color Pore Perfecting Liquid Foundation.  The liquid foundation’s amazing and my face has never looked better!

Now that we’re in the winter months, it’s time to change my moisturizer, foundation, and primer.  Black Opal has created True Color Perfecting Primer  which has extra emollient ingredients to hydrate the skin and refine the appearance of pores.

Check back here in two weeks, I will be testing the beauty product and sharing on my Youtube channel.

Beautyblender Care and Tips from Instyle Magazine

I wanted to share this article titled, “Stop Ruining Your Beautyblender By Following These Tips” written by Alexis Bennet from Instyle Magazine.  For those who may not know, this particular makeup sponge is significant due to the shape, material, and application technique.

beautyblender_logo

Although the blender’s considered to be much pricer than normal applicators, most makeup artist (and enthusiast) notice a difference after use.  I also love the fact that it’s small enough to fit in my pocket or cosmetics bag.  I’ve noticed several questions (on Instagram) asking how to properly care for the Beautyblender.  Thankfully, Instyle Magazine explained the best tips for preventing holes and breakage.

 Beautyblender creator Rea Anna Silva states, “First and foremost, it still amazes me how after so many years that people (even friends and family) still don’t know to wet it,” Silva exclaims. “You have to wet your Beautyblender to get it in its optimum condition for use and for the best makeup application.”

The brand has also expanded to cleansers, tools, and more accessories.  Click on the article and watch more “blending magic” on January 21, 2016, the upcoming HSN special:  Stop Ruining Your Beautyblender By Following These Tips

Luster Premium White: Smile Whitening Kit and Stain Eraser Toothpaste Review

It’s a new year which means we have health and beauty goals.  I am always an advocate for exercise and fitness but we can’t forget about the state of our dental hygiene.  Luckily, Luster Premium White has some great products that will remove surface stains, enamel safe, and peroxide whitening.

I had the opportunity to review both the Smile Illuminator Instant Whitening Kit and Power White Deep Stain Eraser Fluoride Toothpaste.  The products made my teeth look amazing!  I truly noticed a difference (in my teeth) after three days of application.

Luster Premium White Smile Illuminator Kit
White Smile Limmunator Kit

The fluoride toothpaste directions state, “brush teeth thoroughly at least twice a day.”  I would suggest taking this to the next level by flossing the teeth/gums prior to brushing.  Also, I prefer the use of a spinning toothbrush for additional polish and stain removal.  In regards to the instant whitening kit, please remember that each product in the box has specific steps to achieve results.

The last tip is to combine both of the products for an even brighter appearance.  The best way to boost your confidence is with a great smile!
