How to use the Beauty and the Beast makeup color story from LORAC for everyday wear

Hi ya Gorgeous

How's your Monday now? Or should I say, how's your summer? Here in Arizona, the summer is in full broil and school for the cub starts back in 3  short weeks ...or are they short? He is definitely ready to go back and see his friends which brings to mind the question that year round school, with a 2 week break in between semesters would do just fine. On to the makeup!

 

I recently received some very lovely samples from LORAC of their color story collection for the reboot of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

 Something to know going forward, I am ride or die for the original 1990's animated version and none to thrilled about another warmed over version of an Oscar winning trophy of a film.  In short, I have not seen the film yet, and when it arrives on Netflix, I will let you know my thoughts.

 In the meantime, I think that LORAC has knocked it out of the park again, with Disney, and another amazing, collector edition of a makeup color story for a film. I was SO impressed with the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales collection ,though this is just as stunning.

 I have the eyeshadow pallet, cheek color palette, lipglosses and lipsticks and I'm beyond delighted! The colors are everyday perfect and if you know LORAC products, you know how soft, silky, smooth, blendable, pigmented, wet or dry they are!

I love all of the lip colors and the lipsticks or lip glosses can be worn alone, with liner, paired together or mixed and matched!


If you are a fan of anything Disney, Belle, Beast, the film or LORAC and special editions, rush to get these now because who knows how long they will be around!



Remember to let me know in the comments - if you were going to buy a film makeup color story - what products do you want to buy?

I'm asking for your help so as I develop the makeup color story for BEARLY film, Jael, ZBoy and Nascar Nights - I want to be sure and create the top products that people are most interested in buying!

Personally, I live in bronzer and gloss - so those are top items for me to create! Looking forward to your thoughts!

These items are available on Amazon - if you need free shipping:
Lipgloss $34.00 http://amzn.to/2tzhNki
Cheeks $28.00 http://amzn.to/2utaA9X

NYX Doll Eye Volume Mascara: Extreme Jet Black-my opinion

NYFW Dermbalend setting powder: how to go all day on the runway with fresh looking makeup

Hi ya Gorgeous!
#TGIF with me on Twitter @Cherelynn
Ok, who is live bloging the #NYFW events? If you are, link up with me-I'm looking to cross promote with a fashion blogger on my beauty blog.

One of my favorite things about fashion is the sketches that come first before the fabric. There is such an art to the form that creates a gown or piece of clothing.

Now to keep you looking fresh runway side, I encourage you to try the Dermablend Setting Powder. If you buff and work it in to your foundation covered skin, you will notice that it wears really well, all day, and if you get tired, dehydrated and your makeup begins to crease a bit, a simple rebuffing with a kabuki brush or soft blending with a moist sponge can re-invigorate you makeup!

Dermablend Setting Powder $24.00 at Ulta

Get optimum results with Dermablend Setting Powder when you use colorless Dermablend Cover Creme. Excess facial oils and creme are absorbed to better hide acne, scars, and blemishes.

Studio Gear CC Cream for Legoland adventure over the Independence Day weekend

Hello Gorgeous!
My family loves to go to Legoland in Carlsbad California. Love it so much that we have annual passes and we live in Arizona.

While the Mancub was panning for gold in the Castle area of Legoland, I took a break to freshen up my makeup slew side and thought you may want to see what I'm using.

This is a gift sample sent from Studio Gear of their new CC Cream, mascara, eyeliner and concealer.

Hmm, the liner was hard, the concealer is nice, and the mascara is a bit dry for my liking, though the CC Cream is really lovely. Blends great, wears well under heat and humidity, gave good full coverage that looked natural and not like a fake cake of beige spackle on my face. So far so good!

The Best Skin Care Routine For Your Age

If you're still using the same harsh cleanser from your high school days, it's time to rethink your skincare routine

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care article When it comes to a skincare routine, many of us stick with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. Trying several new products on our skin runs the risk bad results, like breakouts, dryness, and redness. But what worked for your skin at age 13 isn't necessarily what's best for you skin in your 20s, 30s, and 40s. We talked to New York dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, MD, and Olga Lorencin, esthetician and co-owner of Kinara Spa in Los Angeles. They filled us in on which skin products are the best for you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. Check out their tips for getting the best complexion at every age. Read advice

Sally Hansen Colorfast Tint+Moisture Balm

Hello Gorgeous!
These are the four lip looks I am taking on spring break! Sally Hansen Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm!

They are a light amount of pigment with a medium amount of shine and a bit of softness. The product wears for a bit and does need to be reapplied after a lot of talking, drinking coffee or kissing your kid.

Or at least that is what happens in my world. These are just $4.99 and can be found at Ulta stores and mass retailers.
Why do you want one? Because if you are going to be on the go all day during spring break vacation, it fits in your pocket and can easily go from a day to night look if you add a lip liner to deepen the tone.

I say for five bucks-it's worth it!
