NYX Proof it! Eyeshadow Primer

Alright, confession time.

I never use eyeshadow primer. I always use my concealer to cancel out any veins, even my skin tone and just hope for the best. But lately I have been trying to do more unique eye shadow looks and I was getting frustrated because my shadows were not lasting throughout the day.

So, I did my research and headed to Ulta to try the NYX Proof it! Eyeshadow Primer. My eyelids will never be the same after using this primer. For the first time in my makeup career, I went out with friends and at the end of the night my eyeshadow looked the exact same as when I left my house. Crazy!

The NYX primer is transparent, but it has a slightly tacky consistency so the shadows can stick to the base and not budge. And on top of it all, it’s adorable!

If you’re looking to make those shimmer shadows pop and last all night long, give the NYX Proof it! Eyeshadow Primer a try. You won’t be sorry.

Simple Micellar Make-up Remover Wipes

Okay, so I have  raved about Simple Skincare’s Micellar Cleansing Water and I thought nothing could top it..well, I was wrong. Simple’s new Micellar Make-up Remover Wipes are amazing. I have been a make-up remover wipe girl for years now and I have tried everything from sensitive wipes to exfoliation and none of my past make-up remover wipe relationships measure up to this one.

The Micellar Make-up  Remover Wipes leave my face feeling fresh and smooth. Usually after using any type of makeup remover my skin instantly feels tight and needs hydration immediately, but with the micellar wipes, I can remove all my makeup and just go to bed. I didn’t wash my face afterwards and didn’t use moisturizer (probably not the best), but my face felt so good afterwards that I didn’t feel the need to.

I woke up the next morning with such a fresh and glowy no-makeup face that I instantly fell in love. These wipes are heaven-sent. They remove every ounce of makeup using only one single wipe and they leave the face hydrated and fresh. If you really want to knock your skin care routine up a notch use the Micellar Wipes in combination with the Micellar cleansing water  – your skin will thank you , I promise.

Simple Skincare, you have won my skin’s heart yet again.

Strobing – the new highlighting?

~ steframos15 ~ 1 Comment

Strobing is the new makeup technique buzzing in the makeup world this summer. Strobing is basically highlighting and skipping the contour. To me, this technique was nothing new because I was never a contour type of girl. And although I think strobing is really just a fancy word for highlighting – I thought I would share my favorite products that give me that “strobed” glow factor.

My first tried and true highlighting product is theBalm Mary Lou Manizer. This is a light champagne shimmer powder that gives the most beautiful glow. Not only can this product be used on the face but it also makes for a beautiful eye shadow. It gives a gorgeous glow without chunks of glitter.

My second go-to product is a liquid highlighter that I just recently discovered – the L’Oreal True Match Lumi Liquid Glow Illuminator in the shade Golden. I was skeptical about this product at first because it was a little darker than my skin tone, but once applied to my face it instantly gave me a perfect “just back from vacation” bronze. It can be mixed in with your foundation for an all over bronze glow, or it can be layered on top of your foundation for a more precise highlight.

Although I’m not 100% buying into the hype that strobing is anything new and exciting, I do love what it stands for. I love to hear that people are highlighting their natural features more and opting for a healthier look by skipping the ridiculous chiseled cheek bones.

Nars Sheer Glow

A jar of foundation
Okay ladies im gonna keep it real for a second.. I have some pretty dry skin and as the months get colder and the holidays start rolling in the struggle of finding that perfect foundation gets harder and harder. But fear no more I have found it.

I recently heard of the Nars Sheer Glow foundation on YouTube and it had fantastic reviews but the price tag was a little hard for me to adjust too. So I went to my local Sephora store to pick up a sample not once , but twice. That is how good this foundation is. It has amazing coverage and is very build-able and it truly feels and looks like your skin.

It has a beautiful glowing from within  finish and does not bother my sensitive skin – im obsessed.  If you are a dry skin girl like me pick up this foundation and try it our for yourself I promise you wont be disappointed!
