New L’Oréal Paris Visible Lift Blur Foundation – a Review

L'Oréal Paris Visible Lift Blur Foundation

I have tried a LOT of foundations over the course of my adult life. Unfortunately, more often than not I am not crazy about them. My biggest complaint is that the foundation usually doesn’t give great coverage or results. When I do find one that nicely covers, it often ends up that it dries my skin and ends up looking scaly or flaky in a short amount of time. It’s so frustrating!
Loreal Visible Lift Blur Foundation Alli

Recently I had the chance to try new L’Oréal Paris Visible Lift Blur Foundation. It is the first makeup from L’Oréal Paris with exclusive blur technology. What is “blur technology” you ask?? It is a special formulation to instantly blur lines and wrinkles. It helps erase those not-so-nice signs of aging like dark spots and large pores and also smooths uneven texture so you get a visibly flawless finish.

This is currently my go-to foundation. I love how smoothly it goes on and the immediate difference it makes in my appearance. And best of all – MY FACE DOESN’T DRY OUT! I don’t know how they manage that part, but it’s fantastic and I will be buying more myself to replace this tube when it’s finished. (Which will be soon!) Loreal Visible Lift Blur Foundation

L’Oréal Paris Visible Lift Blur Foundation contains SPF 18 and is available in 12 shades. It retails for approximately $14.99 for 1.4 fl oz. and is now available at mass food and drug retailers nationwide.

pop-arazzi Cosmetic Brushes at CVS Review

pop-arazzi Cosmetic Brushes at CVS

To give yourself a professional looking makeup job you need the right tools, but you don’t want to spend a fortune, right?  If you had a fortune to spend you could just keep a makeup artist on staff full-time (wouldn’t that be nice?)

But, you can get the tools you need at an affordable price and as conveniently as going to your local CVS store.  The new pop-arazzi line of budget-friendly cosmetic brushes has just launched and is filled with all the brushes you need for all kinds of applications.  They include:

  • Powder Brush – $2.99
  • Foundation Brush – $2.99
  • Concealer Brush – $1.99
  • Eye Shadow Brush – $2.99
  • Brow and Lash Brush – $1.99
  • Eyeliner Brush – $1.99
  • Eye Crease Blender Brush – $1.99
  • 5-Piece Brush Set, includes Powder, Eyeliner, Eye Shadow, Eye Smudge, and Brow & Lash Brushes – $5.99

I’m liking these brushes because there is one available for every use I can think of, the bristles are soft, but sturdy enough to stand up to wear and the bright pink handles add a fun pop of color to my makeup kit.  And at these amazing prices you can afford to get every brush in the line and not have to fret if one happens to be misplaced.

Where to Buy:  You can find the brushes at your local CVS store or online at CVS.com.

Reader Giveaway:  One lucky Jinxy Beauty reader will win a full set of all of the pop-arazzi brushes listed above.  To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 4/8/14.  Good luck!

They have their 11-piece set for only $30 which comes to less than $3 a brush! And in my opinion they are just as nice as higher end cosmetic brushes. I’ve had two that I use for eye shadow that I’ve owned for years and they are still really great!
