    All Matte Everything with @OC8

    Shiny faces never look good in photos and even Instagram filters can’t save that! Yikes.

    When the OC8 arrived in my mailbox today I was more than excited to check it out. Similar to a primer but looks like a white lotion, the OC8 is meant to be worn directly on the skin over moisturizer or sunscreen.

    OC8’s 8-hour formula featuring ACRYSORB®, micro-particles trap facial oils to reduce shine and redness for up to eight hours.

    It works like a charm and you can win it here by leaving a comment about why you need to be ‘camera ready’ with this photo finish!

    Bye, Bye, Bye – Vanish @MiracleSkin

    Jackie and I were both invited to attend Sarah McNamara’s webinar for her newest product ‘Vanish’, part of her Miracle Skin Transformer line. I switched it up this time with a video review, which is my first ever so hopefully it won’t strain you guys out too much!

    Video

    Check out Miracle Skin Transformers at a Nordstrom or Sephora near you!

    Some more goodies-to-know on ‘Vanish’:

    –          Does NOT cause breakouts! +++++++

    –          Naturally dry silicon that goes on super smooth

    –          Natural ingredients! +++++ (lupin, vitamin E, vitamin C, grapefruit)

    –          Time saving +++

    The primer works instantly to reduce the appearances of fine lines and pores as well as smoothes out your skin for a longer and overall smoother base for your foundation / bb cream.

    With 8 weeks, the serum can help lighten your scars, dark spots, sun damage or environmentally stressed marks!

    P.S. – In the video, I thanked Amanda(CrierPR) for inviting me to the chat but when I recorded this video, I wasn’t aware that Jackie was also reviewing it so,

    Smooth Skin All Day with @MiracleSkin

    Launched in 2010, this 5-in-1 formula will give your skin what it deserves. Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 Face is made to hydrate, prime, enhance, mattify, and protect your face.

    I recently received this product to try out from Miracle Skin Transformer and I love it! After cleansing my skin, I apply to my face and I notice each time how smooth it glides on. It includes a combination of antioxidants and vitamins – Vitamins K, A and E, Passion Fruit oil, Saw Palmetto, and M3 Complex (to name a few). You can choose from 7 shades and it will cost $48 for 1.7 fl. oz.

    The only thing I would change for next time is to go a shade darker than the Medium. You will also think that it’s a bit pricey but it should last awhile! It’s worth it to me because I don’t have to wear makeup over it. It also minimizes my pores and evens out my skin tone. Try this non-greasy and non-cakey product, now!

    Has anyone else tried it or other products by Sarah McNamara?

    PS: I am also currently trying out Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal Eye & Face so I will be reviewing that as well.

    Thank you to Amanda & Miracle Skin Transformer for the products!

    @StilaCosmetics 2012 Summer Favorites

    Having attended two beauty shows in the past month, I have to say I’ve grown in love with the Stila booth! The ProArtists are wonderfully friendly and helpful, and I always manage to find just the product I’m looking for when I stop by. This month, I discovered three products that I couldn’t help but share! They are the One Step Correct, the Set & Bronze Baked Powder Trio, and the Custom Color Blush in Self-Adjusting Coral.


    I love all three of these products, especially for the summer! The One Step Correct primer acts as a skin tone corrector and brightening serum. With the benefits of its “Youth Revival” mineral complex, and the triple-swirled helix that works to minimize redness, counteract sallow undertones, and as an illuminator, I like to use it even without any makeup on. Next, the Set and Bronze Trio — a bronzer that also sets my makeup, this powder definitely makes it to my summer essentials list. I love it and it’s quickly become part of my daily makeup routine. It highlights and gives off a subtle youthful glow, seemingly effortless. And last, but not least, the Custom Color Blush is the newest member to my Stila collection. I love the look of coral during the summer, and this product reacts with your skin tone to create a one of a kind customized glow perfect for you.
    I’m a huge fan of Stila Cosmetics; what Stila product is your beauty essential for this summer?
