Vincent Longo Canvas


Vincent Longo Canvas

Vincent Longo Water Canvas Creme-To-Powder Foundation, Bisque .4 oz (11.5 g) 
This is a great foundation for someone who want coverage for the whole day.

Pros:
Extremely easy to apply
Goes on very smoothly
Good Pigmentation
Long lasting

Cons:
Not a whole lot of coverage
A bit pricey

Overall, Vincent Longo Canvas is an okay foundation.  Its good for someone who wants a foundation that looks as natural as possible who doesn't need a whole lot of coverage.  But if you're someone who may want a lot of coverage from a foundation, then Vincent Longo Canvas may not be the right option for you. 

Vincent Longo Canvas is available for purchase at Amazon currently for $57.

Vincent Longo Lipstick

Vincent Longo Lipstick, Vincent Longo Lip stain 
I am not a huge fan of lipsticks, I much more prefer lip glosses but I gave this one a try.  I think its very nice taking in consideration that in the past I always had an impression of lipsticks making your lips very dry.  Vincent Longo Lipstick didn't do that.  Some pros and cons below.

Pros:
Nice natural looking color
Moisturizing
Pleasant taste

Cons:
Doesn't last long, have to keep applying it through out the day. 

If you've tried this lipstick, what was your experience with it?

Tarte Cheek Stain

HTML clipboardtarte cheek stain cheek color, Flush 1 oz (28.4 g) 
I saw an ad for that product in Allure Magazine and decided to give it a try. The packaging is pretty and nice amount of makeup comes when you press it. Not like some commodities Globs Globs incentives. It is very smooth and there are no scratches at all. The only con I noticed while using it - I think if someone has more to cover, it can not have a lot more coverage. It works well for me because my skin is very clear. It keeps the skin very moisturizing and has worked well in the humidity!

Almay Pure Blends Review

Almay Pure Blends Liquid Makeup - Natural 
I bought this make up simply because it was on sale at a local store (it was $3.99) so I figured what the heck.  Three bucks more or less.  It alright. I've been using it for a couple months now and here is what I think:

Pros
  • Easy to apply
  • Stays on for a while
  • 97.4% natural
  • Great price
Cos
  • My skin is oily and it seems like this particular one doesn't really help control that
  • The particular color that I got is 'buff chamois' and although my skin is pretty pale, this color made me look even more pale (but thats where the blush has been helping me - thankfully).
I will just finish it but will probably go back to the Neutrogena one I've been using before.  I'll have to find an empty bottle somewhere in the house so I can remember the exact name of it so I can write a review for it. :)

Overall, I'd give Almay Pure Blends a 3 out of 5.

The lowest price I saw it going for online is $6.99 at Amazon.

Outlast Lipstain

CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain - Cinnamon Smile 
I bought three colors: 400 Kiss Ever Bloom Sassy Mauve 420 440 cranberry Wink . I'm pretty light skinned especially int he winter, and I get pretty dark in the summer. This gives you the right to AMOUNT lip color to wear under a chandelier or on its own. Do not get me wrong, I love them, I do not need or never use them. They are very nice, but the boards are terrible and tastes bland. He Nice, but for $ 7, it is not worth it. I don't think I will miss it. Sorry.

Lip and Cheek Stain

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Mini Lip and Cheek Stain 
I like this product.  The color lasts a long time and its very natural looking.  It gives you color without making you look made up.  Its smells like roses when you first put it on and then the scent goes away.  I love it!   What I don't like though is that the mini one I bought for $10 but on it states that its 'not for sale'.  Hmmm?  Why are is it for sale if its not meant to be.  So maybe some retailers give this as a free sample, but I am unaware of it.

For the most part I like benefit cosmetic products.  While using this benefit cosmetics blush I really liked the color but found that it doesn't stay on for a long time. The color is also very pretty and natural.  I don't mind applying it every few hours so its alright. 

About me

My name is Anita and I am from Castro Valley, CA. I have a big passion for make up (I guess I can consider myself a makeup junkie). Over the last couple years I found myself reviewing a lot of items (mostly beauty and baby products) and saw that a lot of people found those useful. So I figured why not create a blog and review all the items I have in my attic box that I've used over the years. Some totally emptied out, some half empty and some literally brand new (you probably know why too!). I will then continue to review the products as I experience them. I am totally open to hearing others experiences with the products as I strongly believe that not everyone will have the same exact experience. What may work well for me, may not work well for everyone.

Warning:
All of my reviews are my opinion only. Some products may work well for me but not for everyone. I am as honest as I can be when writing a review. If there are negatives I will tell them, but if the product is so good, then it may be hard for me not to rave about it. :(
