Just a nice chart to show newbies what each brush is for. I have a similar chart on my vanity.

Elf Matte Lip Color

Product review: I purchased two of these lip colors one in rich red and the other in the color praline. These lip colors come in a pencil form and they come with a sharpener to keep the points sharp so you can create a precise lip look. I really like them. I like the formula. It's the perfect matte lip. But I will say I only liked the color rich red. The praline lip color made my lips look washed out. It was the same color as my actual lips so it appeared dry. 

I would buy more of these if given the chance. I should have gotten more colors today but I am trying to practice restraint in the makeup aisles lol

Elf Matte Lip Color: B+

Noya Vanilla Lip Balm

This lip balm came in my Ipsy bag so I decided to give it a try. I saw a few people commenting on the Ipsy Facebook page commenting that it was a good lip balm and they liked it so I was really hoping for the best. I won't say that it's bad but it wasn't for me. I did not like the flavor at all.

Take good care of your skin

Pre Lunch Pick Me Up

Before going up to the cafe to pick up lunch I always do a quick check to my face and hair to make sure I'm looking good. The cafe at my job is like a highschool cafeteria so it's important that you look decent in there. And I am always looking to make new friends so I like to look nice. 

Products used...

Victoria's Secret Pink fresh vanillas lotion.

I always keep this lotion on my desk to freshen up and moisturize my hands.

Maybelline Fit me  toffee/Carmel powder applied with my pink sephora retractable kabuki brush

Buxom plumping gloss in dolly

BBW liplicious fruit punch lip gloss

Always freshen up the look before lunch and meetings😉

On my face today

These are the products I used today... I started with Benefits Porefessional Primer then I used Loreal True Match foundation in C7 Nut Brown, bare minerals all over face color on just my cheeks, Essence lipgloss in color Candy Bar, and YSL babydoll Mascara with Pink Fresh and Clean body mist.  I used these products for a simple summer look...nothing serious at all.

 Love,love,love,

Back to school specials!!!!! E.L.F vs Nars, Stila, Smashbox

Eyes Lips Face has put together a set of cosmetics that can compare to the products by higher end brands. This set is perfect for students who want to get the look for less.

The set includes lipstick, primer, setting powder, eyeliner, blush, bronzer and a highlighter. This whole kit by E.L.F costs less than the blush bronzer combo by Nars that usually costs $50. Good luck back to school shopping.

Love, love, love

Hiii!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I am trying something new. Well it all started very normal. I was feeding my lifelong obsession with nail polish when I found out that there is a whole beauty community online. I had no idea about any of this. Either way I'm super excited to share my experiences with nail polish and makeup. I am now constantly trying new products and I can't wait to do some reviews to share. Love, love, love J.B.W
