I love a good lipstick. It immediately brightens up your face so never underestimate the power of lipstick!I went to a Sephora event for Moxie lipstick (made by BareMinerals) and fell in love with its smoothness and pigmented color that lasted through dinner.
Thank you Crystal for always being so much fun at these mini events!
The look Crystal created is called "The Stunner;" notice the difference between no lipstick and lipstick. Did you know their awesome Moxie lipstick has a plumping effect without the tingling? My lips look Angelinalicious! I also tried the Bare Minerals pressed powder which in the past I had not liked but this time I loved how how it just glided on my skin with a powder brush.Their mascara gets an awesome review, with a few strokes my eyes opened up and lashes didn't clump (they also have a waterproof version that I didn't try).
Having fun with my #MoxieItUp lips!
Stay Beautiful!
Ever since the Clarisonic face brush came out I've been looking for alternatives because it was pricier. Here are the alternatives I found and the Clarisonic (yay! I finally got it!). The good, the bad and the ugly on 3 different brushes I tried.
The Sephora Manual Brush.
Rating: Great for starting a routine but not so great for lazy gals
My first choice naturally like at about $6 it definitely made a difference in my routine. But, if you get lazy you won't be doing it everyday at 6,000 revolutions (like a Clarisonic). Also, they're disposable, once the brushes get icky this brush gets tossed!
The Sirius Sonic Brush.
Rating: Not very popular but Budget Friendly
What I thought was truly going to be an alternative to buying a Clarisonic truly served its purpose for a while. The first days were puppy love and obsession with the Sirius Sonic. The problem is...I tried the Clarisonic and its smooth,soft bristles and vibrations on my skin and it left it baby-butt soft. The bristles on the Sirius Sonic get a little tough after a month or two. It uses two AA batteries and I never had to change them once I started using it.So that's a great quality.
Finally! The Clarisonic Mia 2
Rating: Pricy but a great investment in the long run
Truly worth waiting for. 2 speeds. One I use for face wash and the slower one for my bi-weekly face scrub. Never have my creams and serums melted into my skin as deliciously as they do after using the Clarisonic. I use the Clarisonic's smooth bristles all over my neck and chest as well. The ergonomic shape of the brush fits perfectly in my hand and doesn't slip in the shower. Brush replacements are a bit pricy and there's one for every type of skin. Truly an investment to make all your face products work so much better!
Stay beautiful!
