The unveiling of UNDERCOVER HD FOUNDATION by Coastal Scents.

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:33:33 +0100

I got my e-mail today about the unveiling of Coastal Scents HD Foundation. It comes in 14 shades so matching you skin tone should be no problem at all.

"Coastal Scents Under Cover High Definition Foundation has arrived after 8 months of testing. A soft focus, flawless, natural finish is needed when under the scrutiny of a camera in HD. Our foundation applies with light weight texture; a very small amount is needed to cover your skin.

With photography, film and live television using high definition focus, (meaning that the camera and monitor sees everything magnified), HD application has become a part of training for makeup artists in today’s industry. The colors need to stay consistent in all types of lighting, what does not work well in HD is sparkle and shine. Reach for matte bronzers, blush and shadows.

HD makeup is now obtainable to everyone, you also can reap the benefits of that HD flawless look, and this is not just for makeup artists. It is important that your skin is prepared prior to application in order to achieve the finish. Practice gentle exfoliation and polishing of the skin; use of a matte primer and non greasy moisturizer; a loose mineral or pressed matte finishing powder. The silicone in HD helps to absorb your skins natural oils and fill in small lines. Sparkles and shiny skin will only attract the eye/camera to the flaws you want to conceal from it."

I have not yet tried this, but i love coastal scents and plan to very soon. I will definately keep you updated.

So your in love with MAC high pigmented makeup, as is any makeup lover is but your not in love with the price. Try Milani Cosmetics instead. Every product i've used by Milani I've been happy with. They have a wide variety of makeup from liquid liners, eyeshadows, glitter shadows, mineral makeup, even a foundation wand like Too Faced makes. Below is a comparison of MAC & Milani. Milani can be found in most drugstores. Go to Milanicosmetics.com for a store locator.

All and all give it a try, i guarentee you won't be disappointed. =]

Hard Candy Makeup at Walmart!

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:23:42 +0100

I've loved hard candy makeup forever. They used to sell it at Macy's and then i guess it got discontinued because i didnt see it again. So the other day i run into Walmart to grab diapers and whatever else i needed, i always run through the cosmetics section because makeup is like crack to me..lol To my surprise i see something new, so i go to check it out.. and low and behold..Its HARD CANDY! AT WALMART!! lol..YAY~
Finally a highend makeup hits Walmart. Even better than seeing it there were the prices everything is $5-$10 dollars. I love Hard Candy because the makeup is high pigmented like MAC (although NOTHING tops MAC). I'm hoping the formula is the same as it was when it was in Macy's.! I plan on grabbing a few items and will comment on them, so check back often!
