Miracle potions and lotions...

Today I'm going to talk about some of my favourite makeup products. I'm not that big of a makeup fan - I normally just do my eyes and put some gloss on and go, I'm usually not in front of the mirror for more than two-three minutes (okay, maybe more like four or five =P). But here are some things I can't live without.


First of all, its important to always have a clean face and make sure you moisturize the dry parts of your face - not your WHOLE FACE! (unless you have an overall dry face). I've tried several products and right now I'm working with Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizer. It does its job, I had a better cream but I forgot what it was right at this moment.


I also absolutely love Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I hate when my eye shadow gets creasy after a long day and this potion works so well against it. I wore it throughout 40 degree weather in Las Vegas and my eyemakeup stayed put for hours. I know this'll probably sound gross to some people but even if you fall asleep with your makeup on, your eyeshadow hasn't budged an inch the next morning (that is, if you don't move around while you sleep lol).

I don't normally like putting foundation and powder on my face because it gets dry/oily really fast but philosophy's complete me is so great. It's mineral powder so it's somewhat better for your skin, you don't have to put a lot on either to get the same effect as other foundations. The only thing I don't like is that I have to use the same spongey thing they gave me every time and I think that's pretty gross. I guess I could by disposable applicators but they only come in those wedge shaped ones.


Speaking of mineral powder, id's bareMinerals pots are so good. A little goes a long way, I use it for bronzing but some people use it for contouring or other types of face colouring (whatever that means).
