Under the Eyes: Diffusing Powder (Benefit)

I picked up Benefit’s Powderflage a few months back and have been trying it out every since.  Here are my thoughts on the product.

What do you think?  Would you mind adding this step into your routine?  Have you used something like this before?

..I guess I’m one of those people that really enjoys the process of applying makeup.  I LOVE my mornings; I get up a tiny bit earlier than I need to to casually apply my makeup and slowly sip some coffee.  I enjoy wearing Powderflage because it makes me feel more “done”, more polished, more finished. And I’m loving the lip color!

Here’s my review:

My March Favorites

Here are my absolute March favorites!  I’m sure you’re familiar with the concept- but I’ll go ahead and explain: Here are the items I’ve been using a bunch throughout the previous month!  Easy enough.

Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin is a new staple in my collection.  Garnier has been impressing me with it’s makeup/ eye serum blend.  And China Glaze has produced some gloomy and subtle treasures.  I’ve found a favorite peach lip combo, so many exciting things!  Watch the video below for more details on these products and a little demo on how to brighten your eyes in seconds.

Haul! Benefit, Beauty Blender, Neutrogena – Oh my! ..+ Giveaway?

Crushed Candy, Fault Line, Broken Hearted

Black Mesh, Cracked Concrete, Lightning Bolt

Lightning Bolt over Orly’s Glitz & Glamour

Hi my lovelies!  Here it is:  The China Glaze Crackle giveaway.  What the heck is Crackle polish, you ask?  Well, you apply it over a completely dry manicure, and it breaks into pieces on your nails leaving the base color exposed.  I’ll admit, it’s pretty cool to watch.  If you layer it thickly it cracks thicker- if you streak it on fast and thin, there are much more, thinner lines.  Experiment!  ..and don’t forget your top coat as these suckers are MATTE.

Rules: In order to be entered, you MUST be a subscriber of my Youtube channel.  Ahem, You may enter TWICE, once as a comment here on this post, and once on the coordinating video.  You must be 18 or have your parents permission to give out your mailing address as I don’t need angry parents hunting me down  ..what else.  PICK ONE SET OF THREE AND MENTION IT IN YOUR COMMENT.  Am I making this confusing enough?  Make sure you mention “brights” or “grey/black/white”, mk?  Love ya.  Make sense? I’m so tired right now, I’m delirious.
