Some more "stuff" that I like.....

Makeup Forever Super Matte Loose Powder

in shade#18, Banana, is the perfect shade for just about everyone and is the perfect consistency for a loose powder. It is so micro fine and matte that you barely notice it which is always a good sign to

me!

$24 at Nigel's Beauty Emporium, 11252 Magnolia Blvd., North Hollywood, CA

The BeautyBlender

I know that this has been around for a few years but, I happen to think that

it's definitely worth mentioning again. Especially during this time when we all want to re-use rather than throw away.

This beautyblender set contains all you need to flawlessly apply

your makeup. Beautyblender is the first ergonomically designed

non-disposable sponge and is designed to be cleaned with the blendercleanser making it super eco-friendly. It comes with an instruction disc so you can quickly master your application technique. It really gives an airbrushed look to you makeup and won't eat up your foundation( you'll use less) which most acrylic sponges do.

It's on sale right now at Sephora for $24.

My 2 New Favorite Things!

Boom! Stick Color by makeup artist turned model, Cindy Joseph, comes in one color

and can be used as a blush, a lipstick and eye shadow. This one color works for everyone. It's sheer enough so that when you put it on, it lets your own natural color shine through. $24 at www.boombycindyjoseph.com

My other favorite thing is L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes in the

waterproof formula. It's perfect for my brides, especially in the Carbon

Black. The brush is really great for separately covering each lash with just the right

amount of mascara. $8.99 at Ulta.
