PROBLEM!

Ok so I know I posted about the Revlon photo-makeup (which I love) but... I have a bone to pick about it. I have seen that a lot of bloggers love it and use it, as do I, but there is one problem! I have been using it daily (which is not what it is intended for). WELL, I have paid the price because it is messing up my skin. I couldn't figure out why my skin has been looking so dry and why my pores feel so congested. Well, I live in Texas and it is SUPER HOT, and I walk a couple miles a day because my school's campus is one of the largest in the nation! Well, that means I sweat and that makeup has been clogging my skin up MAJORLY! Nonetheless, it is still amazing for those days/nights you know you need to look FAB for pictures! =)

This make up is not intended for daily use, and the rules should really be followed! I figured since I take amazing care of my skin I would be ok- and that's a negative ghost rider! lol my skin has been jacked up! I switched back to using my physicians formula since it is supposed to keep this type of thing from happening... and in just a few days my skin quality has already improved DRAMATICALLY! 

Also I just ordered this make-up from Canada that my best friend, who does free-lance make up and hair and is a model, LOVES! She never uses anything else and I have seen her with it for YEARS! It's a brand called Yves Rocher and you can no longer buy it in the U.S. BUT it is wonderful!

It is mousse-like and very creamy but not oily. It makes your skin look very smooth and flawless. The coverage and staying power is amazing, and I have no clue why they don't sell it in the U.S. because it's the best stuff I have ever used! LOVE IT! It blends amazingly- I was trying hers for texture, not color and it easily blended to my skin even though she has skin two shades darker! I am absolutely in love! 

 
Currently it is on sale for $12, and they also gave me a FREE gift! Typically it is $22, but my friend said they always have sales and deals! I am so excited to get mine in the mail! =D I ordered it in their lightest shade of Beige 100 for very light complexions!

Pride Weekend

So I had a GREAT weekend at PRIDE in Houston. Although, the weather was too humid for my liking. My last blog I posted about my kiss nails, and they are till intact and look awesome! I am so shocked! Especially since I had such a crazy weekend the parade, bars, and at the pool! 

-I wish my pictures turned out better because I got so many compliments from the gay guys saying my face looked "beat" which means it looked really good lmao. 

-And I wish I taken a full picture of my outfit on Friday night because I had so many compliments and I was excited because I wasn't sure if people would think my outfit was odd! 

-I wore a black dress that I found for dirt cheap at Ross with a polka dotted scarf tied around my neck with the long part hanging in the back creating a "choker" effect and 4-inch black platform Steve Maddens (my most comfy shoes). I really liked it! 

-This picture came out terrible because it was with my phone in the car, and the flash washed out my makeup (& my scarf fell forward)! But I will have to recreate the look because it turned out really great and was Kim K inspired! =P 

 I will list what products I used when I recreate the look! 

-My friend Ricky and I (mainly ME) look a little swollen here because it was extremely hot and humid in Houston! The humidity literally collects on your skin! My hair was soaking wet when we left the parade around 10:30pm.

-I got a lot of compliments on my red lipstick! It's crazy how it attracts people to come talk to you! I have loved red since I was a little girl because my grandma wore a red Estee Lauder lipstick every SINGLE day! =) And in high school I followed her example. Now I like to switch it up a little more, but love it non the less!

-My Betsey Johnson earrings gave my slightly pin-up look a pop of color for summer! And the Halter dress is actually a dress I borrowed from a friend. I thought it was from Guess and I was so shocked that it was actually from Forever 21!

MY LIP GLOSS IS POPPIN'

So, yesterday I made my trip to Ulta to use my Ulta Rewards Free Gift Coupon for this month... I was only a Level 2 and I ended up getting the REVLON COLOR BURST lip gloss in 020 Papaya... I am in love! I actually bought this because I had never tried it, and I needed a coral or orange/reddish color for one of my summer makeup looks!

This lipgloss is AMAZING! It is very pigmented, thick, but not sticky and I actually really like the sleek packaging! And I have trouble making my lipgloss last because I have a bad habbit of rubbing my lips together, but this one stays on very well! 

The Pictures below really don't do the color justice because of the lighting... It is way more pigmented and a brighter color than the pictures display, and it looks really good for no lipliner or lipstick underneath! Here's a glimpse of what it kind of looks like----

          

Revlon PhotoReady Makeup

I never like drug store makeup, but this stuff is my ne exception. It is amazing. It blends very nicely and gives great coverage. It's not oily or greasy and isn't too thick. It really is great to use if you're going to be taking pictures, and it's good for a night on the town. It has staying power and you can wear it for hours without reapplying. I loooove it! I wouldn't recommend for daily use though because it is a photo makeup! But i love it!!!
