MAC VS. CoverGirl Lip Markers

MAC VS. CoverGirl Lip Markers




MAC Cosmetics just released a new product this week called " Lip Markers". While I love the name as well as the creativity,but didn't Covergirl do this already?


The answer is YES!

"Lip Stain" delivers precision application and a light weigh flush of color that last - Covergirl

While MAC's "Lip Marker" retails at $14, (http://www.maccosmtics.com/) "Lipstain" from Covergirl will average you half the price at $8 ( http://www.target.com/, drugstores)

Now in my personal option, I don't like either..while MAC color is bright and beautiful,it dries out your lips. Cover girl's color is a little off, and for it to be a stain it stays on your lips .."15 min" MAX! Whew!

My favorite Givenchy Lip Markers, its a little more expensive but worth the price $29 ( http://www.sephora.com/)

Are you ready for this Jelly: Well Lip Jelly that is...


Pop Beauty, the British brand that started in Topstop has a new tasty creation "Petal Jam".

Along side their perfume that smells like cake batter and a scented champagne body wash, this "JAM" gloss is as tasty as it sounds.

"Petal Jam" promises to tastes like plum sugar and moisturize like Vaseline.In the size a baby food jar, this beauty product retails for $14!

Don't worry you wont just use this "lip jam" on your lips, you can use it as a highlight on the cheeks for the "dewy skin" look for spring.

So in Beyonce words "Can you handle this Jelly?

I had the recent chance to work with the beautiful Julissa Bermudez (also know as Julissa B formerly of BET now VJ for MTV Jersey Shore After Hours) for the " Dime Piece" spread.

Julissa has AMAZING skin so I used a mineral foundation on her, and NARS matte bronzer on the cheeks. I wanted to do a smokey eye on her, but I didn't want it to be too heavy so I only smoked underneath the eye.

For a quick way to achieve this look: Use a black eyeliner on top smug it into the lash line (this creates a fuller lash effect) also do this under the eye. Follow behind with a black or dark blue eyeshadow using a brush or a Q-Tip ( remember the dark eyeshadow is ONLY for under the eye!). I used half lashes on the corner of the eyes, for the "BEDROOM EYE" effect 3 coats of Dior and L"Oreal mascara and Revlon's Nude lip gloss.

I also did makeup for the 6 piece fashion spread "Poker Face", that we shot at a Casino. Be sure to check it out on stand March 2010. Look out for the GLITTER red lip!

On To The Next One : Product Review

PRODUCT REVIEW: L'Oreal Liner Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner: Carbon Black This is my number ONE product choice and I have 5 in my makeup kit. SERIOUSLY LOL! Trying to do that CATEYE or maybe just a basic liquid liner ? Well this is your product! The color come off stong and INTENSE, smooth and easy to manage, while the brush is so thin it glides on straight without any effort. ( $9, Drugstores)
