Your favorite Lippie, A powder brush & A translucent powder

 

 

 

Apply your favorite lip color

 

 

 

 

Softly pat and sweep the translucent powder across your lips

 

 

 

 

Once the translucent powder is applied, your lips will be beautifully matte

Bella & Bear Awesomeness

There are so many beauty tools are the market these days, that it is fairly hard to choose one that would be right for you or that actually works. Well today I want to introduce you to three of my favorite beauty tool items all made from Bella and Bear.

The first item is there Eye and Mighty Eyelash Curler. Cute and adorable! And a item that gets the job done! Most eyelash curlers pull on my lashes causing irritation and aggravating my eyes. The Bella and Bear eye lash curler has a soft black pad that fits snug into the tool which helps to alleviate the lash pulling. With the tried and tested lash pads you will never need to replace them, they are to last and entire lifetime when used correctly. The design of the curler allows it to be used on any eye shape! Even deep inset eyes. When I used the curler for the first time I seen a dramatic difference. I normally apply false lashes to get the perfect look, well no more! With the Bella and Bear eyelash curler I am able to get the perfect dramatic effect with out using falsies! I am so in love with this product I never walk out of the house with out using it first!

The Bella And Bear Hair Removal Kit is just plain awesome! Love the pastel pink color and the package design is just adorable! This kit includes a air of pastel pink Tweezers and the Hair She Goes Wand. The tweezers design is sleek and flawless. it tweezes with perfect precision leaving no hair untweezed! The slanted edges allow you to get even the most persistent hairs. I use my Bella and Bear tweezers about twice a month. I normally have to tweeze once a week with normal tweezers. I believe this is because be the Bella and Bear tweezers grab the hair better and allows the entire hair follicle to be pulled out with one swift pull.

 

Almost every woman I know has what we call "Peach fuzz" on our faces. I have tried bleaches and creams and waxing and nothing seems to help. I was a bit afraid to try the Bella and Bear Hair She Goes Wand a it looked horribly painful lol. You are to hold each side in each hand and slowly rotate  each handle clockwise and counterclockwise. I thought I would have a ripping and tearing effect laving my face red and irritated. That isn't the case. It feels more or less like the tweezers do. Just a slight feeling of hair being pulled out. After abut 20 minutes my face was super soft and free from any "Peach Fuzz".  I normally use this product about once a month to keep my face hair free.

If you have not tried any of the Bella And Bear products yet a highly recommend that you do so! You can pick up the Hair Removal Kit Here. You can buy the Eye & Mighty Eyelash Curler Here.

NiNi's Makeup Must Haves!

 

 

 

Good morning my pretties! I thought I would share with you a few of my absolutely favorite makeup MUST HAVES! These are items I used daily and just could not live with out!

I am a big sucker for Matte eye shadow! I feel it looks better on me than opposed to  shimmer or glitter eye shadow. The Emori eye shadow is very pigmented, bright and vibrant. You get 30 colors for $8.98 (includes shipping price) which is a fantastic deal!

 

 

 

Any must have for a makeup addict is a good Makeup Blender. I like using the tear drop shape as it helps to get in the small areas of your eyes. It is perfect for blending your foundation or blending when highlighting and contouring. Right now they are on sale for $1.19 with free shipping! You can not beat that!

 

 

 

I love to highlight and contour for just about any occasion. The Hard Candy Glow Away duo helps tremendously! I don't have to go back and fourth from this product to that product. Its all in one spot and the double sided stick makes for easy application. You can pick up this for $5.29

 with  free shipping!  

 

 

 

 

This bottle of DHC Velvet Skin Makeup Primer is quite a miracle! I leaves my skin silky smooth. It is perfect to place on before your foundation. It fills in lines and wrinkles with a powdery gel that keeps oil at bay so your makeup will look flawless and stay put all day long. I absolutely love this product. It is a bit on the higher end at $19.99 for a  .52oz tube.

 

 

 

The Undercover Agent Duo by Hard Candy is simply handy and works wonderfully! It has a eye brightener inside the tube and on the end it has a concealer. The eye brightener takes away eye puffiness and under eye circles. The concealer seriously conceals all of my problem areas. You can pick this up for $5.78 with free shipping.

 

I have searched high and low for so many years to find that perfect mascara that not only enhances my eye lashes but also extends them. I see so many people using all of these serums or spending a ton of money on fiber lash mascara. Not this girl! I had the chance to try Mary Kay's Lash Love Mascara in I <3 black. I can not tell you enough how amazing this stuff is!
It lasts for DAYS and is waterproof. It extends my lashes and enhances them like no other product I have ever used. I swear by this stuff and use it daily and the best thing about this product you ask? I never ever clumps! It is by far the best mascara out there! You can pick it up for $15.00

 

 

I am always trying new brushes to find that perfect one, most of the time with no luck.  These two brushes have worked wonders for me and have many uses. The Mary Kay Cream eye color/concealer brush is a nifty little guy! I use it many for placing eye shadow in the creases of my eyes. it is also perfect for placing concealer in the corners of your eyes. You can pick this up for $10.00
The next brush is from Essence of Beauty and is their Smokey-Angle Brush that comes with a set of 4 brushes and a case to hold them in. I love the Smokey-angle brush for blending in my eye shadows and getting the outer corners of my eyes. You can pick up the 5 piece set for $17.98 (includes shipping price).

 

Last but certainly not least is Mary Kay's Translucent Loose Powder. This powder is just amazing! You can put this on over your primer and under your foundation to prevent oil, sweat and makeup smudging. I personally use it over my makeup as a setting powder and a silky smooth finish. I tend to use a lot of cream makeup when highlighting and contouring. It takes a bit for the products to dry so I take my all over face brush and swipe some of this on over it and I'm done. No waiting and no worrying about anything smudging or wiping off. You can pick this up for $16.00

Well there you have it! Those are all of my Makeup Must Haves I just can not live with out!
Have you tried any of these products? Hate them? Love them? What are your Makeup Must Haves? Share your thoughts with me below! I always love hearing your opinions!
