Philosophy The Supernatural Lip Gloss

Calling all mint freaks........

I like minty lip balms, chapsticks, lip glosses. I hate the fruity smelling ,tasting stuff. So when I tried this gloss I was hooked. I prefer gloss to lipstick, I find this product to last as long as other glosses I've tried, which may not be a SUPER long time but adequate. I get compliments when I wear the MAUVE color... I figure it's worth the $15 since it's one lip product I use till the container is empty. I can't say that about the many lipsticks I've bought.

Becca Stick Foundation

Great cream foundation

I use this more as a concealer than all-over foundation. The sides of my nose/under my eyes/ a few age spots (!!) My skin is normal to dry/ never breakout and I live in a dry climate. I prefer cream/stick foundations to liquid and Becca has a lot of choices for colors. I use this in conjunction with the tinted moisturizer.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector

Adds some KICK to boring skin!

I use Becca products. The stick foundation/luminous skin color/ and then top off my cheeks/lids/ and over my brows with the shimmering skin perfector. It makes my skin "glow" instead of looking the "50 something" that it is. I prefer not to use eye shadows and the shimmering skin perfector smooths the crepiness of my lids. I have the "pearl" shade and one bottle has lasted over 2 years. I have also mixed it to other brand foundations to add a shimmer to an otherwise boring foundation. It's not a "disco ball" shimmer/more of a youthful skin glow.

Becca Luminous Skin Colour

I keep coming back to this......

I'm definitely a "minimalist" when it comes to makeup. I wear foundation to even out my skin tone/I don't break out/my skin leans to normal but because of an outdoor life style, can become dry. I've tried numerous foundations and other than a Mary Kay creme foundation in Buffed Ivory,Ive never found another foundation that matched my skin tone as well or that I liked to wear UNTIL I tried Becca products. I liked the philosophy of the product line so tried the Luminous Skin color. I'm on my 3rd bottle. I also have the cream foundation in the stick I use around my nose/chin/ around my eyes where I need more coverage. I use the LSC on the rest of my face. Although it doesn't seem like it provides much coverage, for me, it evens out the skin tone and gives me a much needed "glow" NOT matte finish. I get compliments on my skin when I wear this. I just tried Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and thought it's coverage was a WHOLE lot more like a foundation than tinted moisturizer. I took it back to the store and went back to Beccas LSC. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to even out skin tone and someone that likes a "glowy" look instead of a matte finish. There are several colors to chose from to match most any skin color.
