Review: Maybelline Color Whisper

Maybelline released their color whisper lip colors not too long ago and they reminded me of the revlon lip butters. I am still unsure of which brand I like most buy I do think the colors of the Maybelline color whisper are amazing, they give the perfect flush of color with a little shine. They are extremely moisturizing and the more you apply, the more intense the color is. I spent about $8 on mine at my local rite aid. With my discount they came to about $6. I am unsure if these will go in my kit, but they will definitely be in my personal collection. I think these are also awesome for brides. They can even be used over a matte lippie instead of a gloss.

Review: Covergirl Queen Collection all day flawless foundation

I love this stuff! It's a lasting foundation with great color matching for women of color. It has a shine free and powder finish! This foundation offers medium to build-able coverage, it's blendable and feels very light weight on the skin. I'm debating putting this product in my kit, because I prefer to use creme foundations on clients. However this is an awesome product. I did set it with MAC mineralized skin finish (dark). I've cleared my counter of all my high end foundations and I'm going to give this one a go until I get tired of it!
