Favorite Beauty Products

Here are some of my own personal favorite products: (the one's I ooohh and aaahhh about most!)

1.  YSL Volume Effet Faux Cills Mascara in #3 Extreme Blue
*  Comes in a variety of colors and formulas
*  Allows you to "build" or "layer" mascara wet or dry
*  Non-waterproof formula does not flake or smear
*  Really does give you that Faux-Cill (Fake-Lash) look
+  As you are applying your foundation place the tube of mascara just under your leg to bring it to body temperature - it loosens up the formula and makes for a lush application of the mascara
+  Try not to "Pump" air into the tube.  To get more product on the wand insert the applicator and swirl the wand inside the tube.  The lack-of-additional-air will keep the product from drying out too quickly


2.  YSL Touche Eclat in #1 Luminous Radiance
*  Now comes in a wider variety of colors
*  Is one of the best light reflectors around
*  Will cover a red blemish or redness around the nose without becoming gummy or cakey
*  Can be layered on the face without product building up and becoming cakey
+  Pump the product end and produce a couple of drops.  Dot them just under the eye and on top of the cheek.  "Tap" the product into place without completely rubbing it in (you "should" be able to see a good layer of the product at this point.  Let dry.  Now with a sponge blend the edges of the product - do not blend the actual product away, just the edges.  This will give you that ooey-gooey-dewy look that everyone tries to achieve.  





3.  Guerlein Meteroites Light Reflecting Primer
*  My most-favorite of all times light reflector till-date
*  Small primer pearls are houses in a clear gel
*  Pump the product into hand and apply with finger tips
*  You can't over-do the look with this product
*  Smells sooo lovely (if you are fragrance sensitive this product may not be for you - however; I am very sensitive and have never encountered any issues wearing this or any other Guerlain product)








4.  Rouge Dior Lipstick #475 Rose Caprice

*  One of the oldest colors in the color-line at Dior
*  Most every complexion can wear this lovely color (The picture does not do this color justice - you can't see the different shades of color changes)
*  Not the most long-wearing lipstick, but it is the most beautiful pink - simply lovely - a really fresh, spring color of pink
+  It has been said that Dior spend tons of R&D money on getting the lipstick case to "click" just right when you close it.
