Eylure Luxe Faux Mink Lashes

Hey ya'll! So, I was browsing around Utla today when I thought to myself...

"I need to buy a 10th pair of my beloved Eylure 126!"

As usual I wasn't able to find them because they seem to either be always out of stock or they just don't supply them in general (hence why I buy 10 at a time)

After the disappointment set in, I look up to see these beauties. For one, I LOVE black and gold together. Something about those two colors just feels so luxury to me. Personally I think Eylure should change all of their packaging to this one. 

Anyways, off topic, Eylure is hands down my favorite false eyelash brand. I am a big prefer a thicker band because of how you can manipulate it any which way you want to move it. I am a contact wearer and I don't find these to be too heavy. I can always reuse my Eylure lashes multiple times because of how well made they are. Also, the common compliment that I get when wearing any Eylure lash is they make my eyes look, big, round, and doll like. 

I have not tried any real mink lashes because I don't like to shop for makeup or eyelashes online because you never truly know what you are getting until you see it for yourself. Even if you see them on other people, you cant guarantee that it is going to look the same on you. These lashes are the softest lashes that I have ever felt. They are also not plastic looking while wearing, and none of the original Eylure lashes are either. 

There are 3 different styles in this collection. I only picked up 2 because I wasn't attracted to the other set.

Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Skin Liquid Lighting

Liquid highlighter from the Gods!!!! This is probably hands down the best liquid highlighter I have ever used. The main problem that I have with liquid highlighters is that they are wayyyyy too creamy. That concept sounds good at first but then after it sets into the foundation, majority of the time you are left with broken up foundation (which is not a cute look). Definitely a light glow to build-able beams. This is described as a primer and/or a foundation primer. Honestly, as someone with dry skin, using this as a primer felt awful on my skin. I used one pump of it to cover my face and it just felt uncomfortably dry and gritty. I have heard of people with oily skin really loving this as a primer because it gives them a chance to have beaming skin but also controlling the oils. Throughout the day I feel as if my skin just gets even more dewy without looking sweaty and greasy. All in all, just get the dang thing. Live it, love it, and thank me for your new obsession.

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream

Pictured: shade Tan

This beauty right here is my holy grail foundation. I have been using this foundation religiously for years now. 

Let me give you a back story on my skin. I have very dry skin with minimal acne. But I do have rosacea very prominent on my cheeks. I actually saw this for the fist time on QVC when the lovely Jamie Marie Kern removed her makeup on camera to show her rosacea. It was insane! I could not believe that this CC cream could have that much coverage and not make her skin look ashy, which is what I find most conventional foundations to do to people with rosacea. 

I would say that this is a medium to build-able foundation. Now the reason I keep calling it a foundation and not a CC cream is because coverage wise, it has the coverage of a normal foundation only with the CC cream benefits. 9 out of 10 times I do not use a primer with this foundation, I also do not set it with a powder and find the finish to look absolutely beautiful that way. To cover my entire face I only use one pump and I'm left with just a tiny bit. Preferably I apply this with a damp beauty blender. You get some serious dew while wearing this. I get the most compliments on my skin when I wear this foundation.  

This is a full coverage, color correcting, anti-aging, broad spectrum SPF 50 all in one. IT (hehe) doesn't get much better than that.
