Armani Neo Nude Color Melting Cream Blush

I have waited six, long months to say this: “My beloved Armani Neo Nude Color Melting Cream Blush in #20 has been restocked!” Get thee to Sephora! For the uninitiated, I discovered this glorious creamy, lightweight oil-in-powder formula last fall and it has been sold out for an excruciating six months. I use the #20 cool brown cream-to-powder product for contouring and my everyday eyeshadow and it’s quickly become a makeup bag mainstay. You can read my original review of it here, but spoiler: I love it.

NYX Lip Liner

Would you believe my new favorite lip liner is $7? The Slide On Lip Pencil by NYX is outstanding for the price point and a great affordable way to explore different shades. Right now I’m using Nude Suede Shoes for daily wear and it’s perfect. I also love buying these more affordable products in multiples so that I’m not constantly digging for one in my purse in the morning, or running back to the bathroom to stick it in my bag before I leave for the day.

Rodial Discount Code

In a recent Monday Memo, I shared my love for the Rodial Banana Lowlighter, but really–all their products are outstanding. I use their Glass Powder every day to set makeup. I’ve found that it makes my pores utterly invisible and prevents shine and oil build-up better than anything else I’ve used. Make sure you use my discount code MARY15 for 15% off your next order!

Rodial Banana Lowlighter

I have a new favorite multi-tasking makeup product. Does it have something to do with the fact that I’m now dealing with a constant state of sleep deprivation and its accompanying undereye circles? MAYBE, WHAT OF IT. I dot a bit of the Rodial Banana Lowlighter on top of my concealer in the areas under the eye that are the darkest, and it instantly brightens them right up. There’s no creasing to worry about, and there’s a glowy lift that isn’t at all like a highlighter or shimmer. Some days I’ll even use this lowlighter in place of concealer when…

Buxom Lip Stain

I’ve been waiting a few weeks to tell you about this one, as I’ve been testing this Buxom Plumping Lip Stain and trying to get a handle on this non-stain stain (more on that below). The verdict: I love it, and want to share the good news. I got shade “Make Out”— which is gorgeous and a very natural-looking “your natural lip color but better” color. Personally, I like to apply the stain after first outlining my lips with a pencil (I use shade “warm nude”) , but you can choose your own adventure here. While the lip stain is…

Armani Neo Nude Color Melting Balm Cream Bronzer and Blush

I have no idea why this product hasn’t gone completely viral. I’d been using a very old (but treasured!) Rodial bronzer for the last year that has been discontinued, and when it finally ran out I was forced to find a replacement. I am so glad I stumbled upon this Armani Cream Bronzer and Blush product (also sold HERE) because it’s perfect. This is a multi-use product with a lightweight oil-in-powder formula that’s so easy to apply and gives you an absolutely gorgeous glow. I have a feeling it’s soon to become one of my makeup bag mainstays. So far,…
