LOTD: Role Reversal

This is my "I showered at 4pm after Spring cleaning and having a Hart of Dixie marathon" look! I wanted something quick and simple! I went to two of my favorite Urban Decay shades: Mushroom & YDK. Mushroom is an interesting color in the fact that it could easily be very bold, but I blended a small amount over my lids and probably could have left it at that. It's a very adaptable, "chameleon" shade. I could just wear that shade alone with anything and it would take on the colors in my outfit, which is great for days when I have no idea what I'm going to end up walking out of the door in (that's been happening more often than not)! I then used Freestyle as a highlight, because it isn't over-powering or overly shimmery, and then blended the two together using YDK. Usually I would use YDK as a lid color and Mushroom as the crease color, but I think they did great in each other's shoes! I didn't apply eyeliner to my lower waterline because I think it would have taken away from the simplicity of the eye look I had going on. I used Blinc mascara and Bite Beauty lip crème in Palomino, for a pop of color. 

For my face I used my Naked foundation in 3.5, bareMinerals foundation in Fairly Medium, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, and Laura Geller's Balance an Brighten Foundation in Medium all over my face. For blush I used Laura Geller's Blush N Brighten in Pink Grapefruit. I'm loving these new products! Not my typical look, but definitely one I'll come back to time and time again I'm sure! Thanks for reading!

Allie, from Pocket of Perfection suggested the blinc mascara, and I had a gift card, so I filled up my shopping cart! 

The Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara won an Emily Awards, and I am always willing to give new mascaras a try in an attempt to find the perfect one, so I got that and the bite crème lipstick was also a winner of Emily Awards, so I picked Palomino, a fun spring color, and decided to try it out. I can't wait to use these products!

Review: Mally Evercolor Poreless Face Defender

I've heard multiple positive reviews on this, including Caitlyn's Corner, so I bought it.

Here's the sponge it comes with:

After 5.5 hours of wearing my makeup...

After just seconds of applying Poreless Defender...

I'm so pale since it's winter, but you can see some shininess between my eyebrows, which is where I get the shiniest. However, after application I am left with flawless skin.

Here's what I look like after wearing the Poreless Defender for 8 hours...

Mally claims that her product will "improve the look of your skin" by making it appear poreless, mattified, and seamless. She also claims that it is a protectant for your skin and make up. Mally claims it will make your skin look younger and fresher. So the question is, does it come through on all of these claims? Well you can see that I have some shininess on my forehead after wearing the Poreless Defender for 8 hours, but I don't have that sludgy, moist feeling on my skin that I tend to get at the end of the day. It also looks shiny because of my lighting. I definitely think this makes a huge difference, but I can't really say until I've worn it in the hot summer. That'll be the true test. I will keep you posted! Thanks for reading! :)
