Face Moisturizer

There is only one brand of moisturizer that I trust when it comes to keeping my face feeling and looking great, and that is Shiseido. We all have different types of skin and I just want to share what works for me. I have tried many different brands such as Clinique, MAC, Lancome, Origins, Olay, but they never really worked out for me. Either they made me break out, made my face too dry or oily, or turned my face red. During the Summer time, I like to use Shiseido's PURENESS Matifying Moisturizer Oil-free. I like how it controls the oil on my face and leaves a matte look without having to apply powder to reduce surface shine. It also is non-comedogenic, meaning that it does not clog the pores. During the Winter time, because of the cold, my face gets a little dry and I switch to a different moisturizer. I use BENEFIANCE WrinkleResist24 Day Emulsion. It has SPF 15 and it reduces the appearance of fine lines, which I definitely need. LOL. You can buy these products at Sephora, Macy*s, Nodrstom or online at Shiseido. They are pretty pricey, but worth it. Make sure to keep your receipt. If it doesn't work for you, you can always return it back to the store. Once again, I'm not a beauty guru... but these products work for me.

Leica, The Make-up Guru

Do you know any girl out there who doesn't like make-up? So, I may have lied... I'm not a make-up guru. My friend, Charlane, got me a gift, even though my birthday already passed. Isn't she an awesome friend? I think so. And not just because she gave me a gift, but she always keeps in touch with me. I wish I was a good friend like she is. I'm really bad at calling my friends. Anyway, back to the main subject.... I got this collection of lip products from Sephora. It's called "Sephora Favorites: Give Me Some Lip." I knew exactly that I would love everything in the box, because it came with my first love: Benetint by Benefit. I was right about my hunch. I've tried everything and they are all great lip products. My favorite is the Juicy Tube by Lancome. It has this sweet scent that reminds me of a candy I used to eat when I was younger, although I don't remember what it was. I love it so much that I wear lip gloss even when I'm home. Haha! Ok, I might as well give you gals a full review. The Kat Von D is awesome and gives you a nice nude color. Buxom lip gloss makes your lips look fuller, again a nude/coral color. Smashbox lip gloss is a nice pink, just perfect. Tarte lip pencil has a perfect red tint, not too red, which I love. Benefit gives a natural red tint and because it's a tint, it doesn't smudge. I love this collection. It really is a must-have. So, if you don't know what to get yourself for Christmas (and yes, I know we get ourselves a gift or gifts) then do yourself a favor or shall I say do your lips a favor and get this lovely collection. Thanks, Charlane =)
