AMBI ESSENTIALS Daily Moisturizer w/ SPF 15

Love it!

I use this Ambi moisturizer every single day before I walk outside into the harsh Chicago winds. I love that it also has SPF 30, because sunblock is important to your skincare. It does not make my skin feel oily or like I caked a whole lot of lotion on--it feels just right, & I'm confident that my face is protected, especially in the winter when skin tends to suffer. When applying makeup it's the first thing I put on, under my primer & so on. I highly recommend this product.

Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer

Lovin' it!

I am not a fan of foundation at all, just never wear it. One day at the Smashbox counter in Macy's, the makeup artist suggest I try tinted moisturizer instead. I didn't know anything about it, but when she put it on my face, I was sold. I got a smooth, clear, soft finish & my skin looked nice & even. What I've never liked about foundation is that it kind of sticks to your skin, it can rub off easily, & I feel like I'm wearing a mask. With this tinted moisturizer I don't feel that at all. It feels airy & free like I have nothing on my face! So fab!

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Waterproof Mascara

Just Okay

This is a good mascara, but it's definitely not one you should wear everyday, being that it is waterproof. It's very difficult to get off as is any waterproof mascara. I found it to be sort of gooey & clumpy & I found that it kind of gave me raccoon eyes. I would sometimes end up with mascara under my lower lashes somehow, when I didn't even apply any there. That is why I give it a just okay & 4 stars.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light

Love this Primer!

I first tried this primer at an event Smashbox had at Macy's. The makeup artist told me about it & put it on me & I loved it. I usually have shiny, kind of oily skin, & I always shine on my forehead, cheeks, & nose. This primer helps to combat that & it controls my shine. I absolutely love it & put it on after my moisturizer when I'm applying my makeup. I highly recommend this product!
