Hello beautiful friends! So, I just wanted to share some little cosmetic products that I am LOVING right now. I haven't blogged much about how uneven my skin is, but let me tell you, it drives me crazy! For the longest time I just wanted to be able to wear really sheer foundations like tinted moisturizers... I mean, who wants to wear cakey, heavy, oily foundation when they are in their twenties? Not me! So, after years of searching I have found a foundation that works so well for my skin. The coverage feels pretty sheer, but it covers all the redness on my skin. The foundation is from Clinique's Acne Solutions line. It covers well and also has acne treatment built right in!
You can get this foundation at major department stores and Sephora for $24.50. It sounds kind of pricey, but it lasts for a long time because a little goes a long way, my friends!
Also on the Clinique train, I just picked up some of their liquid or cream eyeliner, which I am in LOVE with! Unlike other liquid eyeliners I've found at most stores, this one comes with its own little application brush which is super precise. These babies go for $14.50 a piece and also go a long way! I got mine in deep brown :)
Last but not least, I also love some of Clinique's lip glosses! I always look for a make-up that can multi-purpose, so this one is great. These lip glosses are called Long Last Glosswear with SPF 15. I got mine in a color called Tender Heart and it has a little bit of color, lots of gloss, and no shimmery glitters or anything which was a must for me!
This image is a bad example, it's not the color I bought.. I need to get better about taking my own photos for the blog, my apologies!
I also wanted to add in a couple of things. I know that not everyone likes Clinique, so I did want to list a couple alternatives to these products... first off, the SPF lip gloss: I actually recently bought a brand new tube of SPF lip gloss from Neutrogena which is my favorite! It got thrown into a trash can when I took it on a beach trip, so the Clinique gloss I bought was the replacement. The thing I like about the Neutrogena brand is the lip gloss is cooling and it's not too gooey. I love taking lipgloss to the beach, so the cooling affect in this one was great! They are called Moistureshine Lip Glosses. Here's a pic:
The nice thing about these is you can snag one from Target for like $6 and change... they are amazing!
Another alternative, would be with the foundation I have. The only downside to the Clinique foundation that I am currently loving is that it does not have SPF in it. Prior to changing over to Clinique's I was using a tinted moisturizer by Sephora. It was so great! I bought it for a friend's wedding because the coverage is buildable! You can either wear one coat for every day wear or you can apply two to three coats for more coverage. It was great!
The other upside is the cost. You can get this from Sephora stores for $21. So it's a couple dollars cheaper with different benefits! This one would be great for someone who is not really struggling with acne problems, but still needs something oil-free. I highly recommend it!
Well, my friends, that's all for today! Have a happy Sunday!
