Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

Tinted moisturizer is the lightest type of foundation. It's great for those with clear skin to even out skin tone, for sheer coverage during hot summer days, and for anyone who wants a natural dewy look. I've always liked medium to full coverage foundation, so I usually stick to liquid and airbrush foundation. However, when I started using Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, I really like its lightweight feel and buildable coverage. It's perfect for everyday, especially when I'm rushing out the door!

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Urban Decay's Naked Palette is really popular and is often sold out, and now I can see why! Regardless of skin tone and eye color, the eye shadows in this palette are universally flattering. This palette also comes in a nice assortment of matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes. And it doesn't stop there -- in addition to 12 neutral eye shadows, the Naked Palette also comes with a full-size Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush (worth $26.00) and a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion!

Aqua Smoky Lash is just the waterproof version of MUFE's Smoky Lash. I tend to stick with waterproof formulas, because it really helps hold a curl on my stubbornly straight lashes. :) This mascara claims to provide volume, length, and instant curl without budging. Here's what I experienced after using it for a month now! Read more...
