Beauty Products

I have this new concept of buying beauty products. I am sort of tired of going into an cosmetic/drug store and being stared down by the wall of beauty products of all different kinds of beauty products of all different brands. Thank you, Capitalism. This new concept is to find out the best beauty gurus of the internet. Such as: Kandee Johnson and Michelle Phan are my two favorite gurus. They go through a list of their favorite beauty products while showing the viewer an already-done look. They never fail to impress. Also, it it is not the internet-make-up gurus showing me the way to the yellow brick road to guru it is Amazon and the buyers reviews. I have came to the conclusion that beauty products are expensive, and it's best to look at the reviews before he or she buys. I don't know how many times I have been fooled by how cool the advertising of the product looks then spend 5-12$ only to be disappointed. I have also came to the conclusion, I might as well spend the extra dollars on good enough quality to save me from spending a little less on not so good enough quality. Even though, I try to preach the cheap-lifestyle..beauty products should not be considered the cheap way to go. It's your skin, you should love it enough to spend just a bit more than usual. Anyway, here are the amazing beauty products I have bought this past week that I am absolutely in love with:

LIPS

DuWop's LIP VENOM

I first heard of Lip Venom in the Sephora book I have purchased. It intrigued my interest as it claims to be a "lip plumper". It has got very good reviews for what it is. The only downfall, is the size! I spent 15.80$ on this and didn't suspect it to be so small! I am so afraid to loose this little gem! For as much as it is worth, it's worth the money I believe. Not only does it give the lips a nice gloss but it stays on for a very long time! The way the lip plumping works is it brings blood circulation to the surface where the lips feel a bit hot and tingly. It's a nice sensation, I believe. I enjoy this product and I believe I will purchase again. I sort of see results, but it could be just my mind playing tricks on me.

KORRES LIP BUTTER: MANGO

JUST LOOK AT THE COLOR ON THIS BABY! Too bad that the color does not tint the lips this color. However, it takes away the chapped lips in seconds and keeps them moisturized for a long time. The taste is enjoyable as well, which it really does taste like you are eating a Mango. I approve of this product as well. $10 at Amazon.com

EYES AND FACE

MARK: GET A TINT

This product was reviewed on the Doctor Oz's show (which, I'll admit. I am in love with Doctor Oz). Get a tint is moisturizing for the face, sunscreen included, and gives the face a nice healthy tint. It goes on smooth, and once rubbed in nicely it's like it's not even on! My mother is an Avon representative and mark is through Avon, so I got this for free and I absolutely am addicted to this stuff. 

MAC: PEARL

This product has been talked highly about through the make-up gurus. They use it for an highlighter to sweep across the cheekbones and at the height of the eyebrows. After all the positive feedback from this project, I just had to try it out for myself. I have to agree that all a person needs is a swipe of this and some mascara and they are ready to impress! Mac's products are bit expensive for me (since, I am a frugal), 14$. However, this is when the common sense that it's okay to spend just a bit more for much better quality. I also approve.
