Maybelline BB Cream Review!

Hey Angels, I am sorry I took longer to post for this week. I try to post something about beauty one day of each week. I am here today to talk about one of my favorite things in the world of makeup! Wow I am super happy that the BB creams came out. I honestly don't like to use foundation because I feel like we are putting a mask on our faces! Foundation could get super thick and pasty on the face if you do not know how to use it! Believe it or not the BB creams have been out there since the 1960's. A doctor called Dr. Christine Schrammek used it to protect her patients skin after surgery. The BB stands for Beauty Balm, Blemish Balm or Blemish Base. I personally enjoy the Maybelline BB cream; I have been using it for about 1 month now and decided it was long enough to write a review about it. Enjoy!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

 The Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream is an 8-in-1 Beauty Balm that protects and perfects the skin. Here are all of the benefits it gives to your skin:

8-IN-1
SKIN PERFECTOR:

1. CREATES A NATURAL GLOW
2. COMPLIMENTS SKIN-TONE
3. SPF 30 UV PROTECTION
4. HYDRATES ALL DAY
5. BLURS IMPERFECTIONS
6. 0%- OIL FREE, NON GREASY
7. LOOKS VISIBLY SMOOTH
8. FEELS FRESH

FOR INSTANT SKIN NOW!!!
TO USE: Apply a thin layer on skin. Can be used with or without a moisturizer.

What I love is that it has SPF 30; if you guys remember on my post: "Prepping Your Face for The Day Or Before Applying Makeup" I really don't like to use sunblock because it's so oily and greasy on my skin also I don't go out on the sun much, but this is different it has 0% oils and it's no greasy at all, I am in love... FINALLY!!!

Colors available for the BB cream:
Matches every skin tone!







I use the light color.

Hope you all enjoyed this post and if you have any question please feel free to email me at B-BellabyCamie@live.com or leave questions on comment box below. Always remember every Bella needs BEAUTY, Stay Beautiful!!!
 

Love Always,

Urban Decay NAKED Palette 2- Review

Urban Decay is one of the top selling makeup products the world has seen. The first Naked palette from Urban Decay was sold out for months, and became the worlds best selling eyeshadow palette of all time. The Urban Decay Naked palette 2 has been highly anticipated by many that are hooked on the makeup world. Now that it's finally out and I got lucky enough to get my Naked palette 2 from a wonderful friend :)! Kisses to Juliana Almeida my porcelain doll that I love with all my heart! Thank you so much love!!! :)



The first four shades: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall and Chopper are warm colors, the next four shades: Tease, Snakebite, Suspect and Pistol are neutral colors and the last four are cooler shades.
The matte shades are: Foxy, Tease, and Blackout and the shimmery shades are: Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, and Busted.

FOXY: Great to use on the brow bone or the inner corners of your eyes.
HALF BAKED: Beautiful golden color that can go for an everyday work look.
BOOTYCALL: Silly name but lovely color, use it on the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up!
CHOPPER: Lovely coppery color with some silver. This would look lovely with the bootycall as a natural smokey eye effect! ;)
TEASE: For an everyday natural look. Looks fantastic with green eyes!
SNAKEBITE: I hate Snakes!! Oh my I can't even type the name... But anyways the color is AMAIZING I use it mostly with the YDK for my everyday work makeup look.

Foxy/ Half Baked/ Bootycall/ Chopper/ Tease/ Snakebite

 

 

SUSPECT: Stunnig golden brown goes well with anything.

PISTOL: Must have silvery color can top any smokey eye. Using this with the blackout can give you a lovely night look.

VERVE: Light highlighting color. This is also nice for the inner corners of the eye for a pop.

YDK: Personally my favorite of the palette. A cool shimmery bronze goes with anything.

BUSTED: In Love! Dark shimmery plummy brown also great for a smokey eye effect!

BLACKOUT: Finally! This palettes star. Lovely for any night going out look. Just be careful this can get messy ;)!

                                            

                                                            Suspect/ Pistol/ Verve/ YDK/ Busted/ Blackout

The palette also comes with a mini Lip Junkie Lipgloss in the pinky-brown shade Naked which cools and pumps your lips and a full size shadow/crease brush. What I don't like about the Naked palette 2 is that it didn't come with the Urban Decay Primer. The primer is in my opinion the best primer out there and it's a must have!

Urban Decay- Lip Junkie Lipsgloss

 

Urban Decay NAKED 2- Full size shadown and crease brush

This palette is amazing to take on the go if you are traveling. I wish I could fit it inside my purse everyday for touch ups! But WAIT... Urban Decay thinks of everything, they have already come out with the mini naked palette called: Urban Decay NAKED BASICS!!!

Also a must have! I am in love with these eyeshadow. If you don't want to go to an extreme and spend $50 with the Naked palette 1 or 2 when you are just starting with your makeup routines then go for this BASICS palette, it will do you wonders.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post and if you have any question please feel free to email me at B-BellabyCamie@live.com or leave questions on comment box below. Always remember every Bella needs BEAUTY, Stay Beautiful!!!
Love Always,

CLEANING YOUR BRUSHES:


Now comes the important part; cleaning your brushes. Cleaning your brush is very important because you don't want to mix all of the products and leave it in there for a while because then you will have to buy new brushes almost every year. With time the brushes will start loosing it's function. Not cleaning will make your brushes rough and dry. Here is a simple way to clean your brushes at home.

1. Gently run your make-up brushes under lukewarm water. Swish them around in the sink until the water runs clear. Hold the brush under the water with the handle pointing up so that you don't irreparably damage the brush.
2. Add a small amount of mild shampoo or soap to the palm of your hard and swish your brush around in your hand and then under the water. Keep in mind that natural bristle brushes need gentler soaps.
3. Rinse your hand and the brush thoroughly, then wring out the water from the brush's tip. To retain the shape of the brush hair, gently squeeze to remove all traces of soap and water and place them so they can dry flat on a clean dry towel.

For those who don't like to use shampoo or soap can buy a brush cleanser such as:

Review on Mac's Fix +!

Fix+ by Mac is one of the things I can not live without. This 100ml spray bottle has magic inside or something! It is a liquid with vitamins and minerals that makes the skin smooth and awake! This spray works for before and after the make up. It has a blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. This spray is a must have it adds radiance to the makeup look. It's like the skin knows its great for it and drinks it all up! On the back of the box states:"A soothing moisture mist that refreshes the skin and finished makeup. Hold bottle 12"away from face and spray evenly. Use before or after makeup."

The Fix+ can be used in many different ways.  


First- It can be used to refresh your face. With the Fix + Vitamins your face will look smooth and awake!

Mac's Fix+ Spray $22.00

Second- It could be sprayed after you add mineral powder to help the "powdery effect" seem more natural; the spray makes the product be sucked in and not make it sit on top of your face.  

Translucent Powder

Translucent Powder with Fix+

Mineral Powder

Mineral Powder with Fix+

Third- You could spray Fix + with your loose pigments. It would make your life so much easier to pick up the loose pigments with your brush and not have it falling all over your face.  

Natura loose pigment- Nude          Top color with Fix+

Fourth- Make baked eyeshadow more vibrant.  

Mac eyeshadow- Knight Divine             Top color with Fix+

Fifth- Use it to dilute your concealer or foundation; some concealers or foundation come more on the thicker side and this helps you apply it with your brush and makes it way easier. And last but not least  

Maybelline Liquid Foundation

Maybelline Liquid Foundation with Fix+

Sixth- You can use it to help slightly thin out thicker, creamier products.

Pond's Anti-Wrinkle face cream

Pond's Anti-Wrinkle face cream with Fix+

Hope this post was useful for some of you. I do feel like the Fix+ is a must have in your makeup and skin care collection because of all these functions it can give you. It's like magic in a bottle! The Mac Fix+ is sold for only $22.00 and any local Mac store or online. Hope you all enjoyed this post and if you have any question please feel free to email me at B-BellabyCamie@live.com or leave questions on comment box below.

Determine Your Skin Tone & How To Choose the Correct Shades of Bluses or Lipsticks!

Human skin tone comes in a variety of colors. What skin tone are you? Is a question a few people can't answer because they haven't really thought about it. Skin tones are a major issue in choosing the right make up. Some people still didn't match the correct foundation to their skin tone. There are four major types of skin tones; pink (light), yellow (light or medium), olive (medium), and brown (dark). If you are pink skin tone, you have pink undertones, burn easily; get freckles when you burn, or if you have porcelain skin. If you are yellow skin tone, you have tones that are beige or yellow usually Caucasians, light mixed races and Asians fall into yellow skin tones. If you are olive skin tone, you are one of the 80% of all women that fall into olive tone skin. Usually Latinos, Mediterraneans, a fair skinned African American. And if you are brown skin tone, usually African American, deep complexioned Indian or any other dark skin color. Here is a skin tone chart that will help you determine what skin tone you have.

Skin tone can also be determined by it being cool or warm. If you have pink or red undertones in your skin (whether it's fair or dark), you have cool skin tone. Stick to jewel tones like magenta, royal blue, emerald green and blue based reds for your clothing and makeup. When choosing a foundation or concealer, look for neutral or pink-based shades.

If you have yellow, golden or peach undertones in your skin, you have warm skin tone. Work on wearing more of the gold jewelries, olive green, earthly tones and orange-based red makeup or clothing. When choosing a foundation or concealer, choose yellow or peach-based shades.

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT BLUSH FOR YOUR SKIN TONE?

Finding the right color blush may be one of the biggest challenges we face when it comes to buying makeup. There are so many different types of beautiful shades on the market to choose from. Blushes are meant to be a natural part of the complete makeup. After knowing your skin tone it makes it easier to find the correct shade of the blush that works perfectly for you. To help you I broke it down to 3 groups, fair skin, medium skin and dark skin.



FAIR SKIN: When picking a blush shade for your skin, remember, lighter is better. I recommend pink shades or peach shades.

• Pink Shade: NYX Blush- Natural
• Peach Shade: Nars Blush- Orgasm

NXY- Natural

Nars- Orgasm

 
MEDIUM SKIN: If you choose a color that is too light it can make you look ashen, and anything too dark will make you look clownish. I recommend pink or peach shades as well but darker.

• Pink Shade: NYX Blush- Mocha
• Peach Shade: Tarte Blush- Tipsy

NYX- Mocha

Tarte- Tipsy

DARK SKIN: Choose colors from rose to deep oranges. Choosing a shade that is too light will make your skin appear washed out and pale.

• Pink Shade: Tarte Blush- Amused
• Peach Shade: NYX Blush- Cinnamon

Tarte- Amused

NYX- Cinnamon
