Product Review: Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Concealer

July 23rd, 2009

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Packaging: 4 out of 5 stars
Price: $20 @ department stores
Website: http://www.dermablend.com

What it is: Complete coverage, oil-free concealer for minor to moderate facial skin flaws. Lightweight texture provides twice the coverage of classic concealers without a heavy feel. Covers all skin imperfections while giving you a smooth, natural complexion without enhancing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles or pores.

Pros: Covers really nicely and it doesn’t feel heavy on me. It really does last all day!

Cons: I just wish the tube was a bit larger, but a little does go a long way!

Product Review: CARGO blu_ray™ Pressed Powder

May 5th, 2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Packaging: 5 out of 5 stars
Price: $30 @ http://www.sephora.com

What it is: A pressed powder created especially for use with high-definition film.

What it does: Created to provide flawless results while looking completely natural during high-definition filming, blu_ray™ Pressed Powder contains specialized photochromatic pigments that adjust with the light so that your base makeup always looks perfect regardless of lighting or setting.

What else you need to know: Photochromatic pigments adjust with the lighting so that you have natural looking makeup no matter what the setting, while ultra-fine micronized minerals fill the look of fine lines and reduce the appearance of imperfections. An irregular particle size creates light dispersion, an effect that softens the look of the skintone. This oil-free powder is perfect whether you are getting married, going to your prom, having portraits taken, or simply want to look fabulous anytime and comes in a sleek black compact for convenient touch-up on the go.

PROS: This is the best pressed powder ever! It may not work for everyone, but it definitely works for me! It makes my skin looks flawless and natural-looking. My skin also looks so nice in photos so it’s great for everyday-wear. Usually I would wear liquid foundation, but I don’t really need it anymore because this pressed powder makes my skin looks clear and it’s light on the skin, so I can’t feel it at all.

CONS: Nothing bad about it!

Tutorial: Hello Kitty Too Dolly Look

February 18th, 2009

Here’s a look I recently did a tutorial on using the MAC Hello Kitty palette in “Too Dolly” that came out last week. Excuse my eyebrows — I am growing them out until my birthday, which is next weekend!! I am turning the big 2-4… yeah I know, I look young, but yet I’m old…

I hope you ladies (and maybe gents) love this look, because I sure do! I will try to continue doing more looks from this palette, but not tutorial-wise.

I also did the Vanessa Hudgens curly pigtails hair tutorial that someone requested awhile back (watch out for it on my next post). I forgot who, I’m sorry. I am so bad at this. I need to write down all the names of the people who requested things! And I also was supposed to do a product review on the BaByliss PRO GT Gold Titanium Spring Curling Iron I got last year and now I’ve finally done it.

Anyway enjoy my tutorial! :)

Tutorial: Romantic Smokey Pink Valentine’s Day Look

February 5th, 2009

Hello d0rkstars :)

So I FINALLY made a video in so long! It’s great to be back. There are times I get too lazy but it made me realized I miss doing this and hopefully I’ll have more videos to come.

Today’s tutorial is a Valentine’s Day look. I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day (maybe because I never had a Valentine’s ): ) But I made this tutorial because I love wearing pinks.

If you’re interested in me making more Valentine’s Day looks please feel free to e-mail me at info@d0rksta.com. Enjoy!
