When I first posted this photo in my Flower by Drew Barrymore creme blush review (and then reposted for my Physicians Formula Super BB powder review) I had no idea that I would receive so many compliments (thank you, thank you!) and questions about the products I used to create this look:

I am obsessed with the define a brow! Are they discontinuing the darker colors in that because I'm having a super hard time finding them!?
ReplyDeleteThey have discontinued dark brown, which was my holy grail :( the next shade up is medium brown and its too red for me, ugh
DeleteYep, I did a post a while back about how the darker shades were discontinued and for a while there, they were showing up at dollar tree.
DeleteI keep expecting the whole line to be discontinued at some point and have been trying to find a replacement, but nothing compares!
Please, Maybelline, don't pull the plug on this one!!
@jenn p in place of the dark brown I started using Maybelline espresso eyeliner that has that same fine tip. It's a shade darker but works for me still since I have black hair. I just use it to define then fill in with a lighter shade powder.
Delete@G I'll keep looking for something too. Mac has some with that fine tip but they're way too expensive :(
This look Osceola pretty on you G. I Now I kind of want that lip color! I wish the BB powder was included in the Rite Aid BOGO because now I feel it is going to what I have been searching for. I wanted a finishing powder with a hint of shimmer!
ReplyDeleteThank you, robin!! I think you'll love that lipstick. ;)
DeleteThanks G! I love this look, and can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome, rose! Thank you for asking about these products! :)
DeleteThanks so much for posting the products and links to reviews! I must try those Jordana Eyeshadow Duos.
ReplyDeleteI caved on the CG 3 in 1 when I saw your teaser on FB. It totally stands up to all the hype!
You're welcome, M.! Let me know what you think of those shadows if you get any? And yes, i've been testing that foundation every way possible (different moisturizers and setting powders) just to REALLY make sure that my results weren't a fluke and I have to say, I think it's my new Holy Grail! :)
DeleteBought the cover girl 3 in 1 and tho it's my first day wearing it, I.AM.IN.LOVE!

Thank you so much, Ann-Marie! xo
DeleteWow, that look is so pretty. :-)
ReplyDeleteDo you consider your eyes to be hazel? From this pic, it looks like your eye color is similar to mine. But when I look up "hazel" on the web, I get differing definitions of the color.
Thanks, T.!!
DeleteYes, my eyes are hazel. Basically, if your eyes don't look full on brown or full on green, and they look more brown or green depending on the light or what you're wearing, they're hazel! :)
I can't wait for your Cover Girl foundation review. I'm hearing good things about it, but your reviews are my favorites, and the most helpful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very sweet thing to say, Heidi! Thank you SO much for that. My review is coming very soon! :)
DeleteThank you so much for the product breakdown! This look is beautiful! I would love to see an occasional "Face of the Day" look from you (just whenever you happen to have a FOTD you like).
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the Prestige Eye Primer review--it doesn't seem to have any ingredients that I know irritate me (unlike 4 other iconic one's) but I'm waiting on reading one of your detailed reviews before I make a purchase.
