Complexion Rescue Review!




So I am finally here with my review on the new Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue and unfortunately I am not a fan.


Color Selection
So the Complexion Rescue line has 10 shades which is half of what all of their other Bare Minerals lines carry. My "shade" is the color Spice. Now I put that in quotations because for me Spice was still a little too light for me. A little too light to where it made me look grey, but I couldn't get the next shade up because it was just a little too dark. If they had a color that was in between it would have been perfect.


Wear
Because my "shade" was to light and made me look grey I had to wear it with a foundation over top of it. I used my Covergirl 3 in 1 which is a matte finish and it made it look way too dewy. Now I have oily skin and I don't mind being dewy, I love drowning my skin in oils and serums and moisturizers, but there is a difference between dewy and looking like I just smeared bacon all over my face. Even setting it with a powder didn't help because about an hour later my oils were coming through. I couldn't wait to get it off of my face.


The Smoothing Face Brush
The brush I actually really like. It's a rounded duo fiber stippling brush which I've never really seen anyone really do before. Most stippling brushes have a flat top but I found that the round top was alot more comfortable. I now use it for my regular foundation and I've really been enjoying it.


Final Thoughts

For me, this product just didn't work for me. I don't feel like they have a wide enough shade range, especially for us darker women (story of my life) and my skin is just too oily. If you have extremely dry/dry skin you would probably love it, maybe even normal skin but if you have oily skin take my word and just stay away from this product.

Confidence Tip Tuesday! - Surround Yourself With Positivity!



I know it's hard to stay positive in hard times and negative thoughts can be overwhelming sometimes, so it's good to have reminders around you to help stay positive and keep the negative voices in your head quiet. So I made a positivity wall for myself. Just little quotes and sayings to help keep me focused and motivated. Things to remind myself to keep going even when I feel like I can't!

Another way to surround yourself with positivity is to surround yourself with positive people that you can talk to and trust. I have a friend (more like a sister) who lives all the way in Florida, but even though she's so far away and I can't talk to her all the time she's really been such a huge motivator and comforter. I know I can tell her anything and I know she'll give be truthful, understanding, and keep my head straight.

So just remember to try to find positivity around you. And if you can't then make it for youself.

Stay Naughty! ;)

January Favorites!



Not too much this month but here's what I've absolutely been loving!



Smashbox Double Exposure Palette

Been obsessed with this since I bought it in late december. I use it every day and I'm absolutely obsessed with the color Quarts! You can see I've already made a pretty good dent in it. It's perfect for just an everyday eye look.



Venus - Naked Basics Palette

This color has quickly become my favorite inner corner highlight shade. It just opens up the eye and makes you look awake. I get complimented every time I wear it and I love it.


Benefits Puff Off

This stuff is seriously a miracle worker. If you've had a rough night or your eyes are just looking tired and puffy, apply this and no joke 20 minutes later your eyes look 1,000 times more rested.


Laura Gellar Baked Body Frosting in Tahitian Glow

I recently rotated this into my daily makeup routine not thinking I would really like it but I've been loving it as a highlight! I usually pair it with a little bit of MAC's Gold Deposit on top and together they make the most beautiful glowy finish.


NYX Mahogany Lip Liner and Milani Plumrose Lipstick

I cannot get enough of this lip combo. It makes the perfect mauvey lip. This is my go to for days that I don't know what lippie to wear.


OPI My Private Jet
Morgan Taylor Who's That Girl


Been loving this polish combo this month. I just love glitter! My Private Jet already has a really cool gray and purple duo chrome glitter in it and Who's That Girl just amps up the glitter factor.

Stay Naughty! ;)
