How adorable are these?!? London SOHO New York is partnering with Walgreens to add to their collection of fun Disney collection cosmetic bags. This time around they feature Belle from Beauty and the Beast!

How To Wear Shimmer Makeup This Season

Disclosure AffiliateHow To Wear Shimmer Makeup This Season

These days we have so many makeup products to choose from to give our skin a shimmery glow. You might be wrinkling up your nose and thinking, “Why would I want shimmer? I’m not ten years old!!” Well, a little shimmer and sparkle isn’t just for kids. Follow these tips from beautystoredepot.com to use shimmer to your advantage.

* Look for sheer options. Opt for lightweight shimmer products, not heavy, opaque, “frosty” makeup.

* Focus on one feature. You’ll surely look like you got into mommy’s makeup if you have heavy shimmer and shine on your eyes, cheeks AND lips. Pick one feature to shine.

* Go light-handed with application. Unless you’re going for a costume look, apply products lightly. If you are going for a natural shimmering glow, then here is where you can add a little to the cheeks and the eyes – just don’t overdo it!

GloMinerals GloHighlighter

* Try a multi-use highlighter. Yes, it can be daunting at first, but one great highlighter can do so many jobs. GloMinerals GloHighlighter can be applied before or after your foundation depending on how subtle you want your glow. Apply it to cheekbones, the brow bone, inner corner of eye or the center of lips for a hint of shine.

* Avoid shimmer on certain areas. Applying shimmer products to fine lines, wrinkles or blemishes will only highlight them, and that’s definitely not the goal here. However, a lightweight powder like Pur Minerals Afterglow Illuminating Powder contains the natural shimmer of mica to actually reflect light away from your imperfections.

* Always blend! This is the key to making your shimmer look natural. Use a GloMinerals GloTools Cream Blush Brush for creamy or liquid products and a GloMinerals GloTools Fan Brush for powder formulas. And be sure to only use this brush for your sparkling products, otherwise you’ll end up with shimmer everywhere, all the time.

How do you wear shimmer makeup? I’d love to hear your ideas! Here’s a hot tip: through 4/19 you can take $10 off orders $49+ at beautystoredepot.com with code UPICK10 at checkout. FREE SHIPPING, too!

Victoria Jackson Gives Your Makeup a Spring Makeover

a

Victoria Jackson Foundation Duo

Spring is in the air and that signals the start of a new season – which to me means it’s time to make some changes! One area that can always use a springtime makeover is the makeup bag. This week I had some help with that thanks to Victoria Jackson Cosmetics.

I received a few of the Victoria Jackson products to test out including the Foundation Duo, Here Comes the Sun Bronzing Powder, Perfect Everyday Blush and Lush Mascara. I love the sleek packaging of the products that gives them a very “high end” feel. The foundation duo glides on easily and gives great coverage without heaviness or caking. The blush and the bronzing powder add a nice glow to my face. The finishing touch is definitely the Lush mascara. It lengthens my lashes and, best of all, stays in place all day! None of those dreaded under eye shadows from smudges.

Victoria Jackson Mascara

The mission of Victoria Jackson Cosmetics is to help women achieve inner confidence through outer beauty. Since I spend most days at home with only a few trips around town to run errands or to walk the dog, I don’t have to make a “full face”, but at bit of foundation, some blush and a brush of mascara and I feel ready to go out just about anyplace.
