Lately my hair has felt so dry, probably due to the extra long cold winter that poor California has endured his year (jk) I noticed my hair breaking alot more lately and not as soft as normal these winter months. I have been changing up my hair care routine and switching in and out a few different hair-care products along the way. Read the rest of this entry »

So as I mentioned here alot of brands are being discontinued from my CVS/ Longs Drugstore. One of the brands being Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Line (Inspired by Carmindy). I picked up the Luminizing Face Primer, Luminous Matte Pressed Powder and Your Skin Makeup Foundation.

1. The Luminizing Face Primer is really quite shimmery when first applied. It reminds me of MAC Strobe cream and a face primer mixed. The shimmer does tone down after the foundation is applied and does help brighten your complexion. 
2. The Luminous Matte Pressed Powder is smooth and creamy just like the shadows. Good Finish- not chalky at all. 
3. Your Skin Makeup Foundation shade I picked up was Porcelain which is a perfect match for me! The texture is really nice and not heavy on the skin. The coverage was good and the foundation left a great finish.

All the above are a great value. Even at regular price. If I had to pick a favorite I would say I love the foundation the most. I am definitely planning to wear this often!

I have probably mentioned before, but in case you missed it… The Longs Drugstores in my area have all been purchased by CVS. So because of this the store has been clearance-ing out many products and brands that Longs carried that CVS doesn’t. So because of this it has given me the opportunity to play around with some drugstore brands I maybe wouldn’t have tried…

A couple of the items I picked up were Sally Hansen Natural Beauty (Inspired by Carmindy) Instant Definition Eyeshadow Palette in “The Stone” and “The Storm” for $2.00 each! These shadows are super smooth and creamy. Great pigmentation as well. The lighter shades are matte but hard to see on my NW15 skin tone. They come with a small plastic insert thats tells us the top left for the lid, top right for highlight and bottom as the contour. Not sure I will use them in that way. But I love when items come with some sort of instruction.
Since swatching I am actually really excited to play with these! What do you think? Have you tried anything from this brand?
