Revlon Photo Ready Makeup

I went on twitter yesterday and asked if anyone had tried this foundation which is the
Revlon Photo Ready Makeup-006 Medium Beige

LisaSZ09 mentioned that Fafinette3-Aubrey had a review on this check it out here:

I watched the review and decided I'd give it a try as well...I did notice this is quite shimmery and I would almost compare it to MACs hyperreal foundation.
I'm gonna try this tonight....I purchased this at Target for 9.99 and it came with a mini foundation brush. Here is a pic of me wearing the foundation last night..love it!!

3....2....1....Counting down to the New Year

I just wanted to wish all of my wonderful followers a Happy New Year!!! I am ready for 2009 to be over. This has been a tough year for me...I ended a long term relationship and that was very rough for me....in the end it ended up being the best thing for me and my life. He and I continue to stay in touch but I am ready to start the new year with a clean slate.

I also think this upcoming year will also be a continued focus on my health...I love working out and keeping in shape...as I get older I realize how important this is for my well-being.

I will also continue to keep God as the center of my life...I feel I have lost my way a little on this and want to get back to the basics of my christian life. God is my deejay.

Lastly this year I will also focus on my relationships, friends and if I'm lucky to meet someone new then so be that as well. I do feel very blessed that I have the people I do have...my friends and parents are my world.

I wish everyone a wonderful, healthy and happy 2010!!!

Love,
Kat

My December favorite mascaras....

I am loving these mascaras this month:

Covergirl Lashblast
Loreal Telescopic explosion for lower lashes
Rimmel Lash MAXX
Maybelline pulse perfection

I usually use four mascaras at a time for different effects. I prefer black mascaras but occasionally I think you can use color to spice things up once in a while.
What are your faves?

Count em 1-2-3...favorite foundations!

1. Korres Wild Rose Foundation in WRF6
2. Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Natural Tan
3. MAC HyperReal Foundation in NC400

I usually reach for one of these foundations on a daily basis. The number 1 Korres Foundation is probably my favorite!!! I first discovered this foundation
By watching LisaSZ09’s video on this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73lqF24M91Y...
This is her Top 5 favorite foundation videos and her reviews are great!
I immediately went out and got a sample of it and fell in love. It covers so well but blends into the skin well. I was even able to use
This foundation in the summer…my number one choice in the summer is Chanel Bronze Universal hands down but in a pinch this is great also.
2. Revlon Colorstay Foundation….this would be the number 2 foundation range I reach for…all the colors blend well together and overall provide great coverage and for
$9-$11 you cant beat it. A lot of times they have buy one get ones at CVS or various other drugstores and that is when I stock up on them.
3. MAC HypeReal Foundation is a great night out foundation….not only does it give you a lovely glow but applied with a light hand looks amazing and almost as if you don’t have anything on. See pic!

What are your top 3 foundations?

Scarf storage suggestion

Are you like me and love to accesorize with scarves? Well This is a sample of my scarf collection it includes pashminas, summer sheer scarves, wool scarves etc etc. I got this box and folded all my scarves so that I can easily find the one to wear for whatever occasion. How do you store your scarves?

Sephora dry oil sprays and the tub was free!

Dry oil spray in Peach Blossom and Guava Passion...not only do these dry oils smell amazing but after a hot shower in the winter spray these babies on and your skin is instantly drenched in oil that drys fast, smells amazing and did I mention your dry winter skin will thank you? I love these!

While in sephora they had a deal if you buy two sephora bath products you get this plastic tub wit hthe sephora logo on it. I decided I will fill it with my LUSH products and when I get in and out of the tub they will be right there for me to grab...Here is a photo that I added with LUSH products...get it a tub of LUSH:)
