So on Wednesday I talked about my awful skin condition/reaction I experienced a few months back (you can click ~here~ to go read about it). And on that blog, I told you I had to change a few things per my doctors request to try to help fix what was going on. I want to be very honest about all of this. I sold Younique. If you follow this blog you already knew that. I only wore Younique because I really loved it and it worked for me. The problem is that it wasn't working for me pregnant and was part of the problem. So with saying that, I changed all my makeup and stopped selling Younique. I still love the company and I still stand by them for other people. It just doesn't work for me anymore so I can't personally promote it (except the mascara, I still use that). I have always told you I only promote what works for me and I won't lie about it.
With that said, I researched the heck out of different makeups. I looked into cheap and expensive. I spoke with friends, family, beauty specialist, makeup stylist trying to figure out what would be best for my sensitive skin and this is what I found to be the best for me.
one. Make Up For Ever
With this brand I use the Ultra HD foundation ($43), the Pro-Finish multi use set powder ($37) and the Full Cover concealer ($34). I chose this brand because it was always in the top 5 brands I researched. It popped up every where I searched and even when I spoke to people. Another brand I almost went with was Giorgio Armani and even though most said it was good, wasn't worth the price. That you are paying for a name. So I chose MUFE and I must say...it is seriously the best makeup. It goes on so easy and you don't need a lot.
two. Two Faced
I use their bronzer. I had never been a bronzer person. Just never thought about it. But I also didn't wear makeup correctly so it was a learning curve for me. I swear by this stuff. It smells like chocolate and it goes on great and blends well. It is $30. I use the milk chocolate for reference.
This is for my eyes. I love this eye shadow so much. It's so smooth and creamy and blends well with each other. (this picture is the day I got it). It was out of stock but came back yesterday so go grab one. It is $48.
four. Younique's Epic Mascara
So yes, I still wear the mascara from them. It doesn't seem to have an effect on me and it works so well. Why I chose this one over the 3D was because of the fibers. I never minded them but the epic just goes on easier and smoother and I don't have to worry about the fibers. Since I am not your Younique girl anymore, I have just linked the Younique page and you can purchase it that way. It is $24.
five. Lipsense
The best lip product out there y'all. So many colors, so many different combinations to do. My sister in law Angie sells it so I have linked you to her Facebook page and she can help you out. They are always coming out with new colors so make sure you follow her page to keep updated. And if we are being real honest here...I have 22 colors from below (I have more than that but some were seasonal or don't make anymore). The prices for the colors are $25 each and for the glosses that go over the color, they are $20 each. Angie is much better at explaining how all this works so hit her up if you want more information!
As far as eye liner goes, I like a few different brands and I am not hooked on just one. That's why I didn't include it on here. The one I find myself going to is Mac's waterproof one but I'm not opposed to others. I don't wear blush (I have natural built in rosy cheeks) or lip liner. When I don't wear Lipsense, I wear Aquaphor on my lips.
If there is a product that you just LOVE and want to share it with me, please let me know. I am always look for new, safe, clean products to use (especially a mascara. I would really love to try a new one, just want recommendations first. Also...I need new brushes but have no where to start!). I don't wear makeup everyday. In fact, I wear it once, maybe twice a week. So when I do use it, I like to go all out. And I want good products for my face as well so that's why I thought I would share.
