Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

Image
  Hi and welcome to Its About Makeup Time with ya girl L_lish here!!!!!!!!!!!! Today I will be reviewing one of my go-to face products. I use this product every night after I wash my face. It is the Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer!!!! I love this product. It has salicylic acid in it which means it is perfect for preventing and treating pimples.  If you have dry skin, this is a must. I was really skeptical about getting this product, but I am glad I chose to get it. The Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer retails for about $6 to $7. After I was my face( Clinique Liquid Facial Soap in Mild) I apply a genorous amount of this (one pump and a half). The aftermath of this product is amazing. Once you smooth it out on the face it generate a clean and fresh sensation! I also love the packaging of this product. The sleek and small bottle is great for traveling. The pump also locks to prevent spills.Thats it until next time..... XOXO, L_lish

NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

     Hi and welcome to Its About Makeup Time with your girl L_lish here!!!!!! Today I am doing another Cream Shadow Showdown with Bonus Bases and it's a review on the NYX Jumbo pencils.......YAY. So, one day while at my local beauty store, I saw these pencils. They were $3.99 and my beauty store only had neutral colors so I thought they were perfect for bases. Turns out I was right! These Jumbo Pencils were great bases. They only two I have are Milk and Pots and Pans. Milk is the only one I am reviewing though because Pots and Pans got de-potted and destroyed by a girl who loves trying out new things :|                                                     I love using this because: 1. It makes my eyeshadows POP. 2. It last a long time. 3. It has no creasing unless you are heavy with application. 4. I can use it also as a stand-al...

Everyone knows that when you have a cream eyeshadow,  the shelving life is pretty short. To keep your bases and creams moist store them upside so the moisture will be at the top everytime you use it. see:all my bases are upside down :)

NYX Eyeshadow Base

Image
Hi and welcome to Its About Makeup Time with me, L_lish. Today I have another Cream Shadow Showdown with Bonus Bases post. Before I knew about makeup I was searching for a good eyeshadow base and I stubbled across the NYX one. I found mine at my local beauty supply store, but they are also sold at Ulta for about $6. The color I have is Skin Tone. It is a creamy matte nude. It reminds me alot like MAC's Painterly Paint Pot. The only difference is the price. The NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone is the perfect primer or base for any type of shadows, it even made my dollar store shadows pop. On the package, the base is suppose to hold, intensify,and last longer on your lids. I have to say this is fairly true. This base does not last as long as MAC's Paintpot, but is last just as good. I have had this product for about 7 months now and I has yet to show any signs of drying out. If you want a MAC Paint Pot,but cannot afford it I recommend buying this product.       ...

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

Image
  Hi and welcome to Its About Makeup Time. Today I have a product review for you guys!! So, I have recently got into using face products and I wanted a company in the drugstore that I can trust regularly to put on my face. I am really hesitant about putting products on my cheeks and forehead because they are really sensitive. I researched a lot of products,but there was nothing that caught my eye. I finally narrowed my research down to my favorite drugstore eyeshadow company (Maybelline). They had the Dream Matte Powder and I wanted to try it out. I currently use the Dream Fresh BB Cream from Maybelline and it gives an oily looking glow. I looked like I just got done playing Basketball! So I put my Dream Matte Powder on and BOOM, like magic oiliness was gone.  This powder is so soft and it is milled perfectly. The color I decided to pick up was Sand which is Medium 0-1.  I chose a color lighter than my skin tone because gives a highlighted effect. This powder is ...

Maybelline Color Tattoos!!!

Image
     Hi and welcome back to Its About Makeup Time with your girl L_lish. Today, I am doing part two of Cream Shadow Showdown with Bonus Bases. The next base I am talking about is the Maybelline Color Tattoos. Many people compare these bases with MAC Paint Pots. To me, the Maybelline Color Tattoos would beat MAC Paint Pots if they were creamier and more controllable. I have two neutral colors of the Color Tattoos: Barely Branded and Bad To The Bronze. Barely Branded is a light pale nude with tons of shimmer in it because it is in the Metal line. bad To The Bronze is a bronzed brown color with a little glitter in it. I tend to use Barely Branded more because it matches my skin tone more and I can wear it alone as a shimmery nude.Here is a comparison to the MAC Paint Pots.

MAC Painterly Paint Pot

     Hi and welcome to Its About Makeup Time and today I am reviewing the MAC Painterly Paint Pot. This is the first Cream Shadow Showdown and Bonus Bases Post. Many people say that this can be a primer and a base. I absolutely agree with this statement. I have tried many primers and bases, but this Paint Pot made me look no more!  Once swatched this eyeshadow cream is a pale neutral with pink undertones. This cream base can blend in with pretty much any skin tone. There is one thing you have to remember though, once you put this on its hard to take off. I don't think this cream base is waterproof but it acts like it is. This product retails at MAC for $18.50 which is pretty good for it being "high end". I brought mine at Nordstrom (an amazingly huge department store) and the MAC selection was spectacular!!!!     Overall this eyeshadow base is GREAT. I give it a 10/10... The packaging of it is also sleek and simple. It is a glass jar with a mat...
