This thing saved my life..

My daily face makeup routine consisted of foundation, concealer, powder, contour, highlighting, blush, and bronzer. Along came summer, and I decided that it was about time to lighten up on the makeup. I changed my routine to powder, bronzer, and blush. The only problem? My face looked as red as a ripe tomato! I didn't want to have tons of makeup on, but I wanted to have some of the redness covered. Finally, I found my solution. L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Redness Primer. I put on a little bit of it before my powder, and I'm set for the rest of the day! The key is to use a small amount. Too much will make you look sick. This product has saved my life, and I can feel confident wearing barely-there makeup. Overall, definitely go out and buy this primer if you have redness. It's a life saver.

Best Summer Nail Polish!

I've recently been wondering, why is it that I can never find an OPAQUE light pink/nude nail polish? Well the other day, I found myself at CVS with a few good friends. Usually, I hate Essie nail polishes. I don't know why, but I've never had a good experience with them. But all of a sudden, my eye caught a certain color as I was passing the Essie isle. It was called Fiji. I tried it on, and one brush stroke gave me AMAZING pigmentation. I love the color. I've been wearing it every day. The only con: it is pretty streaky. I needed three coats to get a smooth color. But it was well worth it! It's lasted forever, and it hasn't chipped (just use a good base and top coat)

Overall, I definitely recommend this polish!
