New Makeup Trend For Spring 2014:

One of the trends for this spring 2014 is Color Blocking Eyeliner. COLOR-BLOCKED EYELINER

No need to choose just one of these supersaturated hues: This cool, jewel-toned spectrum looks sexiest when worn in threes. Along the lower lashes, Westman suggests drawing gold pencil from the inner corner to the pupil and purple from the pupil to the outer corner. Line the upper inner rims with black, adding turquoise pencil above it, and apply mascara.

::Hourglass Cosmetics Review::

So recently I ordered the Hourglass Cosmetics, it was so hard to choose but decided to go with the Immaculate® Liquid Powder Foundation & The Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood. Let me start with the foundation...It claims to be the perfect foundation for oily skin. I have combo skin, but who can pass up the promise of a long wearing foundation, that stays velvety matte finish—without the need for touch-ups?!
Immaculate® Liquid Powder Foundation


My opinion: WOW! The foundation is everything it promises! I loved the feel & love the smell. I big on smell & it smells great! It is like a mouse, but dries velvety matte. Make sure you shake the bottle before every use. I feel like it comes out better that way. I don't know if it states that, but I have found that it works best that way. No need for touch ups at all. Pure Perfection. It is worth every penny. I will be re-purchasing again & again.

The Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood. So, now for the Ambient Lighting Powder...It is amazing! I don't want to call it a highlighter, it is more of a illuminating powder. It is so subtle. It's not glittery at all, it just gives your skin a glow. I've played with it & have used it many different ways. I actually have tried it on my cheekbones & have used it as a brow highlight, & I have even put it on as eyeshadow. You can also use all over your face just to have a healthy glow. The very first day I wore this I got so many compliments on how my skin looks so flawless. It is also worth every penny. What I like about hourglass is that their product deliver what they promise. Which makes it pleasant to purchase and repurchase.


Lastly, I purchased the Illume Crème-to-Powder Bronzer Duo & it's also amazing. Long wearing bronzer & the blush is the perfect pink shade. The amazing thing is they are a cream consistently , and they dry matte & are long wearing.

(Looks a little orange, but it's not, its my flash.)
My final opinion: I love Hourglass Cosmetics. Every product I purchased has been amazing. I will keep purchasing. My only suggestion is to order from Sephora.com. I purchased direct through their website and didn't get the service I had hoped for. My package was sent to the wrong address, which was the companies wrong doing. & when I called they didn't seem that helpful. My second package was sent out, and again it was sent to the wrong address. It was very frustrating, but I try not to get to upset. I mean mistakes happen. So finally I decided to order again, after three days I decided to call to ask about my package and was notified that what I had ordered was out of stock. I just feel like I could have been taken care of a bit better. :) Have a sparkling day!
