For the "Glam" of it

Femminator · 06-13-2015, 08:07 PM

I live less than 3 miles from a Sephora and a Ulta. So, I have tried lots of stuff. I used to love Bad Gal mascara but it's costly, so I have tried lots of different ones and found out that I really really like Covergirl Lashblast Fusion in blackest black. It's awesome, It's tied with my Loreal Carbon Black. NYX has a great undereye cover that has a peach color base(works much better that yellow coverstick to cover up under eye circles) and has vit E in it so it is smooth going on.

Also, I tightline now, but I put my mascara on first and then tightline. I can see where the dots of color have to go and it keeps me from overdoing the liner. I like the natural eye and red lipstick look they wore in the 40's. I don't use black eyeliner but those darn salespeople always look at my naturally black lashes and sable brown hair and try to get me to wear black. I am way too old to look that harsh. I use a grey/slate, a dark purple or black-brown. It makes my brown eyes pop!

I'm the organic kinda girl and I love the entire Inika range. Their products are simply amazing! Here I'm wearing an every day make-up, but forgot to curl my lashes

Inika is basically the organic, vegan, cruelty free M · A · C and I am absolutely addicted to their products.
The mineral make-up - liquid and the powders - cover very well and the colors of the eyeshadows, lipsticks and eyeliners are so rich, they're very highly pigmented and once you apply them, they stay there. Inikas eyeshadows are actually the only ones I've used that do not accumulate in the creases, but stay on the lid the whole day. The lip tints and the blushes are fantastic as well.

Well, I actually do, but not online or anything. I am a cosmetician and I have my own salon (in Germany!), where I use the products when I give a client a make-up but I would never try to promote that on a place like this. Actually I decided to work with the brand because I am personally so in love with it. But there are lots of other brands I like, too. It's just very difficult to find something organic and vegan and of high quality.
Apparently my love for the products makes me sound like I'm advertising but that wasn't my intention and I'm sorry if it came across like that. I just really adore the products.

Hahaha, yeah, that's the perfect way to put it! Honestly, ever since I discovered this brand, along with Lime Crime, I've been in heaven, make-up wise. I used to desperately try and find a cruelty-free alternative to the Maybelline Volum' Express The Colossal 100% Black mascara and failed miserably. Then I found the Inika one and I couldn't believe it! Not only is it all the things mentioned in my post above, but it's chock full of wonderful ingredients that pamper the lashes. As a professional that has always been an important aspect to me.

On the lip scrub: I used to have one in a stick, by The Body Shop but then got to try the lip scrubs by Lush. I am all for diy-ing things, but the popcorn scrub from Lush is just DELICIOUS.

Apparently my pressed powder of choice, "BareMinerals READY Touch Up Veil Broad Spectrum SPF 15," has been discontinued.

I was so happy with that powder as it worked just as well as my given-up-due-to-price Lancome dual-finish, for sixteen dollars less.

I am auditioning replacements. Does anybody on BFP love their powder?

thanks in advance
