Never Get the Wrong Foundation Color Again
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, concealer, face, foundation, makeup, perfect pores, skin care, sun care, wedding
I’ve tried a plethora of goodies from Senna, each of which I’ll be reviewing soon. But, first up is a Senna best-seller, Mineral Mix Cover & Finish Foundation. Mineral Mix marks the end of getting the wrong foundation color. How so? It contains a beautifully blend-able loose mineral powder foundation in the base along with a darker pressed mineral foundation powder in the lid. Simple and smart.

Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, bargain, eyelid, skin care, sun care
Featuring another new product with a long name from L’Oreal: Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair 24-Hour Eye Repair Duo. With such a serious(ly long) name, you’d expect serious(ly good) results along with a serious(ly expensive) price. Well, that’s about half true. The results? Good. I’ve been using Revalift’s new eye cream duo for about three to four weeks, and I can definitely see a visible lift to my upper eye lid. Plus the skin around my eyes is softer and more pliable.

This Ain’t Your Mama’s Chapstick
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under anti-aging, bargain, lipgloss, lipstick, sun care
Growing up, my grandmother always kept a tube or two of chapstick in her pocketbook. I can still remember the waxy feeling and slightly medicinal smell when she would drag it across my lips.
Chapstick’s come a long way since then. Even since the days of Suzy Chapstick (remember her?). With soft, moisturizing formulas that [...]

Beauty Q&A with GirlPaint: Free Advice for A More Beautiful You
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY, bargain, concealer, cosmetics, education, foundation, hair, handmade, makeup, recipe, skin care, sun care
Recently I became a member of MakeupTalk forum. I LOVE posting on forums, and not because I want to promote myself or my blog (although that’s a nice benefit if other members like my posts), but because I really, honestly like giving advice, tips, tricks and product reviews. It’s the reason I started blogging in the first place. I was working in an industry that cut me off from the beauty world, and I desparately needed to connect to my makeup-loving sister (and brothers).
