Hello friends. I hope you're all enjoying the week. I have a fun post to share with you about some of my favorite makeup.
As you all know I love makeup, and I enjoy finding new cosmetics to try out. Here are a few makeup products I love using right now.
MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Finish Powder Foundation.
I have always used liquid CC cream foundation or just regular liquid foundation in the past. I decided to try a few years ago the Bare Minerals powder foundation and I loved it. Unfortunately the powder foundation I liked is discontinued and not made anymore. This Make Up For Ever powder foundation is another one that is just as good and I love it. I like that there is a makeup sponge in the bottom of the case to apply the foundation. This Make Up For Ever powder foundation is so easy to apply and it leaves a natural matte finish to your face. This foundation is so perfect for travel as it's not a liquid and it won't spill in your makeup bag.
Tarte - Tartelette Tease Amazonian Clay Matte Palette.
I discovered this cute eyeshadow palette, when a family member gave this to my daughter for Christmas. I loved the eyeshadow colors in this palette so much, that I bought one for myself. The colors are different shades of light tan/brown and perfect for everyday wear. They are easy to apply with a makeup brush.
Makeup tip: I always apply eyeshadow primer to my lids before applying eyeshadow, so that the eyeshadow stays and lasts longer on my eyelids.
I like using the whisper color on my lids and wink color in the crease of my eyes. I have also used the darker colors for evenings if I'm going out.
NYX Matte Lip Liner.
I used to use an Avon lip liner that I loved for years but have since changed to this lip liner. This matte lip liner works well when applied to my lips, and it comes in many colors. I really love that these lipliners only cost $4. I use this lip liner before I apply any type of lipstick or lipgloss. I always use a natural colored lip liner to go with any color lipstick or lipgloss.
Tarte Exposed Amazonian Clay Blush.
I discovered this blush when I was given a sample size of this from Sephora. This is a good blush and the colors available are natural and the shades look very pretty when applied to your face.
Tarte - Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint.
This lip paint was also discovered when I received this as a sample from Sephora. I am in their (Sephora) system and received the sample size of blush and lip paint for my birthday.
I love this lip paint and it's a matte lip gloss. This is one of my favorites and it stays on your lips for hours when used with a lip liner. The color I received is birthday suit which is a nude color and just perfect for day wear.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy some of my makeup finds.
Have you used any of these makeup products? I'd love to know.

I always love your make up reviews! You could probably help me...give me a make over! heehee! I use Bare Minerals so I would like to try the one you mentioned first. I don't wear a lot of makeup, just cover up and mineral makeup and lip gloss. Oh wait...I went to get my cover up. I just started using it and it works great and you can buy it anywhere....Rimmel Match perfection. I use it to hide the dark circles under my eyes. Have you tried it? Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteHello, I have used the mascara from the Tarte brand, it was really a nice one. I also love new makeup! I need to wear it as my eyes are so tiny! And yes a good foundation is always so nice to find one that does not make your skin look dried out! I do hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAlways, Roxy
I always enjoy your makeup reviews, my friend, and I trust your guidance. I have been using Estee Lauder products and am in love with their foundation, concealer, and mascara. The pro-finish powder you mentioned sounds lovely and I will have to try is sometime.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I am going to have to look in the Tarte aisle next time I am at Ulta, Julie! Thanks for the tips. I love getting the inside scoop from people who like and use a product! Enjoy the sunshine. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Makeup forever...
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wear less makeup than I used to, I still use mascara, blush, concealer and lipstick as my daily routine. I don't use eye shadow or lip liner much unless I'm going 'out' usually. I haven't tried any of these products but I did try one of the concealer you recommended and liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend Julie! The temps are really creeping up! Suppose to be close to 100 today!

I think I'd like to try the Tarte palette. The colors on the one you showed are really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reviews! I wish I could come over and have you show me how to use all of these. I am useless when it comes to applying makeup! It tried the powder foundation and I was amazed at how great it made my skin look....until a few hours later it all seemed to disappear! I still use liquid :-( :-) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie, I always appreciate product reviews~
ReplyDeleteThat Tarte palette looks gorgeous! xx
