Buxom Product Review

Hey dolls,

Here is a look at a product I received from my job at Sephora. I wasn't aware of this brand before I started working for Sephora, but I actually love it. This review will be on Buxom Stay-There Eyeshadow in Pug ($17). The color is a smokey silver and the formula is kind of creamy. In my opinion I would much rather use this product as a base for another eyeshadow to go on top of. But that's just my opinion. It works wonders as a base. It is also waterproof and stays up. This product can be applied with your fingers or with a brush. I think if your going to wear it just as a eyeshadow that you should apply it with your fingers to your eye lid. It comes out way better with your fingers than a brush.
In the picture below I wore the Buxom Eyeshadow in Pug on my lid and then layered with the silver/gray shade from my Coastal Scents Creative Me #2 Palette.

There are ten color shades in the Buxom Stay-There Collection.

Hope you enjoyed!!!

NARS Product Review

Hey dolls,

So since I started my new job at Sephora, I got a couple of products to review. This review will be on NARS. I love NARS! There how collection is flawless in my opinion. I picked up two samples of NARS products that I wanted to try out and I love them!!!

I got the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Cadiz and NARS blush in Super Orgasm. Check out the review and pics below...

NARS SHEER GLOW FOUNDATION (in Cadiz); $42

NARS Liquid Foundation comes in two formulas...sheer and matte. I decided to try out the sheer glow formula since its winter time. I think I'll switch to the matte formula when the summer time rolls back around. But I love this product. I used to think that liquid formula wouldn't last as long as a powder does, but I got a tiny sample jar of it have used it for three different days and still have enough left for probably three more days. I apply this product with my fingers and you don't need a lot of product to get great coverage. I use a Cover Girl translucent powder and the Sephora Collection powder foundation in Warm Maghogany to set the NARS liquid foundation. I definitely plan on purchasing the entire bottle. I think I'm addicted!!! SN: NARS sheer glow and matte liquid foundations come in 12 different shades.

NARS BLUSH (in Super Orgasm); $26I was first turned on by NARS blush in Orgasm while watching product reviews by other You Tube makeup gurus. While I was at work looking through different products I came across their blush in Super Orgasm. I love it. Its a sheer pinky shade with flecks of gold. This just completes my look. Love love love it!!!

Hope you enjoyed this product review.

Updates!!!!

Hey dolls,

Its been sooo long since I've blogged. Just been extremely busy with life and work and trying to put some things together for myself. So I have a few updates...

Yesterday I had an interview with Sephora and got it on the spot. The manager was so impressed with me and my resume that she thought I would be an asset to the company. Although its just seasonal, she has high hopes that my position will become permanent. So I am extremely happy about that. I start in a couple of weeks!!!

And also I've been trying to find a local makeup artist in Charlotte to intern/assist. So I found one. She is a celebrity makeup artist and I have a meeting with her next week. So I'm excited about that as well.

New opportunities have been coming my way and its taking me one step closer to my dream!

O yeah and tomorrow night I'll be doing the makeup for Charlotte Style Magazine's fashion event. The theme is Asian-Motif. So I look forward to that!!! I will keep you all posted!!!
