Play Date with Jouer

I discovered Jouer brand through my monthly subscription to Birchbox when I got their luminizing tinted moisturizer in the cutest, tiniest packaging as a sample.
Today, Jouer and their brand owner and creative director Christina Zilber (who I sadly missed by some minutes) held an event at Nordstrom where I got a makeover and tried some of their new and most popular products.

I'm wearing their Peony-colored lipgloss over the "Whitney" lipstick. The make-up artist did a superb job of pairing it with their Renaissance (a raisin shimmery hue) eyeshadow stick (actual color not shown below). My pick for the full face was their Matte Tinted Moisturizer which is oil-free for combination-oily skins like mine. Just dreamy.

A Very Wearable and Easy Look with These Products:

Fun Fact: Jouer make-up cases contain grooves which allows you to slide and attach a lipgloss into an eyeshadow,or a full kit with eyeshadow, concealer and lipgloss all together, letting you create your own, customized, artist's pallette. Check out how they attached all those concealers together!

Review: Lorac On-The-Go Concealer/Foundation

I immediately wanted to try this product when I saw it on the pages of Allure and not be disappointed! A concealer, foundation and brush in one was just too good to be true!
Once having tried it I discovered it has a medium buildable coverage. A few pumps on the clicker is enough for the product to come out the brush the first time and then only two times every time after that first use.
You have to start with a little bit of product and "paint" it on your face; I use it as a concealer under my eyes and to highlight a tired face, around my mouth, around my nose and basically wherever I need to conceal redness or even tone my skin. I love to set it with a translucent powder and a powder brush for perfectly beautiful skin.
I was hoping to use it as foundation but it does not provide full coverage.

Other than that it's a great value and a mess-free life saver to keep in your beauty bag!

#Gaga4Gaga

My younger brother and his bestie,Caroline, are seeing Lady Gaga tonight in concert and they are utterly psyched! She has to be their ultimate idol because last night they withstood 39 degree weather with their Snuggies and uncomfy folded chairs so they could score some special "Monster Pit" bracelets (aka Lady Gaga-esque mosh pit). This will grant them a front row view of all the action! So exciting! By the way, considering we are in Houston I hope Beyonce makes an appearance to sing with Queen Gaga herself. Almost makes me remember my concert hopping ways back in Honduras when I was a teen...

I got to have a little fun and do some make-up on Caroline inspired by Lady Gaga for the concert tonight.Doesn't she look amazing?

I used my favorite L'Oreal liquid liner pen for the eye art and a limited edition Victoria's Secret palette and mixed two colors for her lips.

Stay Beautiful!

The Unsmearables

Nothing grosses me out more than seeing my make-up right splat on my cellphone screen. Runny eyeliner, feathery lips and transferable foundation are my nightmare. In my quest of long lasting make-up,these are my winners:

1)Kat Von D Foundation-even in the stickiest, hottest of Houston days this foundation never stayed on my cellphone.Yay!

2)MakeUp Forever Aqua Rouge-Apply the lipcolor. Let it dry. Apply the attached clear lipgloss. Sip,eat,chew,talk...your lipstick will still be there!

3)Benefit Cha Cha Tint- Crave that coral, dewy glow on your cheeks all day long? You must lighty and quickly apply this stain; 3 dots on the apple of your cheeks and rub in for a natural looking flush.

4) Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Liquid Eyeliner- Perfect liquid liner. Long lasting, won't rub or flake off not even through tears. Must use a waterproof eye make-up remover to take off though.

5) Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil- I love wearing this liner on my lower lashes because it never comes off or gives me raccoon eyes. I can wear it and forget about smearing or reapplying.

This is me reporting for HCCTV in scorching Houston weather wearing all of the products above! This is after finishing the report and my make-up was still flawless!

I'm so excited to show you THE MOST AMAZING MASCARA that transforms your gaze with a faux lash look! Can't wait to show you with a video tutorial soon (like tomorrow or Monday)!
