Stay All Day Makeup!! - YouTube tutorial

I just posted my very first YouTube video!!! I am new at this so I am fairly shy on camera, I think with more experience and trial and error I will get better! I am also using my iPad to film, which isn't the best video quality so until I have a good camera the video quality may lag a little!!

Check out my new video on Stay All Day makeup : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoBA0BWbIgg

Ben Nye Banana Powder

Oh How I *** LOVE *** my Ben Nye Banana Powder!!

I cannot express into words how much of a favourite item this has become in my makeup routine.  I had read many reviews, watched endless tutorials and never took the plunge to really investigate further with the Ben Nye Banana Powder until one day, I thought why not?

I can honestly say this powder is far above any others I have ever used.  I was not sent this, I purchased on my own, I believe it cost me around $26 from www.makeupmania.com - I ordered the 8 oz Jar which is WAY more then enough.  Not knowing how big it would be I figured if I am going to wait to get it online  I may as well go big or go home lol.  BIG is an understatment, I am fairly certain this will last me quite some time.  I use this powder in conjunction with my Physicians Formula Concealer... I definitely LOVE the way it makes my skin glow.  Not only does it give a glowing and flawless appearance, it keeps my makeup on ALL day long.  Seriously, all day. Because this is stage makeup, it is made to stay on and give you an all around flawless look.  I only use this to set my concealer, which of course, I love to use basically in my whole center face for highlighting.

Below is a picture of the powder =) I usually apply this with my beauty blender (slighty damp but mostly dry) and pat it on rather then brushing or blending in my entire "T zone"



L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick - Cotton Pink

Loving this new lipstick from loreal Paris!!!! It is so super smooth...moisturizing and isn't too pigmented! I bought the "cotton pink" which for me is the perfect light pink shade without looking like a Barbie doll! It comes In a super cute tube and the colou pay off is great with one application :)
