Sexy Saturday

On Sexy Saturday we will discuss anything that makes you feel sexy and confident! Today's topic?! Fashuvia's favorite make-up products!If you are like most ladies, you hate trying out new make-up products in fear that you're wasting your money on a product that sell the dreams of flawless complexion, fuller lashes, and plumper lips, yet does nothing! Here at Fashuvia, we are constantly trying out new products to give you, the reader, a heads-up on what REALLY works!!


Lip Gloss: 

  • Any MAC lip gloss stays on for literally DAYS and looks supple however, it feels very gluey and if you kiss someone, you literally will get stuck. (Keep this in mind for date night, and wear something a little more sheer!
  • C.O. Bigelow, right now we are loving their glosses due to the fact that they smell and taste great, are very watery, and will not stick to your date! You're lips will slide right off. Favorite: Spearmint Mentha Lip Shine, No 1191. This gloss smells and tastes like mint! Great for an after-dinner refresher!! 
Mascara: 

  • Right now we are (surprisingly) loving Lash Exact by CoverGirl, the wand is very tiny, and we did not expect voluminous results however, the wand is so easily maneuverable for the inner corners and, with a few coats, creates amazing length and volume! On top of this, you cannot beat the prices of CoverGirl!
  • For those who already have long lashes and want to add a little-something-extra, Clinique High Impact Mascara adds a boost of shine and slight thickening.
Blush:

  • The blush we are in love with is by Flirt from Kohl's, and is called "Crazy in Love" from their Peek-a-blush sheer powder cheek color series. This blush is very pink and has a simmer quality that adds radiance and a natural looking glow to the skin.
Eye Shadow:

  • Any MAC eyeshadow is always a safe bet due to their high concentration of pigments, these will give results of the true color in the palette. 
  • Avon eyeshadow duo "morph tones" is a great cream shadow that has a gold and peach tone which make for a great look! We like to put a light coating of the gold over the whole eye and the peach in the crease, for a "smokey" daytime look. Be sure to set with a light powder, and do not use heavily fore the cream may build up at the crease over the day.
  • Wet N' Wild has great palettes that are so inexpensive! The colors are very shimmery and last all day!! Try the Sand Castle Palette for great neutral tones that will really make the eyes pop!
  • Almay, palettes designed for your color eye. These also add a great shimmer, and are very complimentary and easy to apply!
  • Estee Lauder Delux Pure Color EyeShadow Palette, this Palette is very shimmer and complementary to all eye colors. We love its staying power and amazing shades.
Foundation:

  • We at Fashuvia prefer powder foundation for the typical daytime look, however it is always great to have a liquid foundation for covering blemishes, or looking flawless at night. 
  • Bobbi Brown Liquid Foundation applies great coverage and has a yellow undertone which is natural to the skin, this is great for women of color!
  • MAC Studio Fix Fluid is fantastic for under-eye circles and blemish coverage. We like to mix it with lotion for a daytime look or apply it directly to the skin for a flawless finish. This product is also FPS 15!
  • Bare Minerals from Bare Escentuals is an amazing product that allows you to have even, flawless skin, day or night, without feeling guilty! This product is actually beneficial to the skin and looks very natural. We recommend this product for everyday use, day or night.
Bronzer:

  • Of course MAC bronzer is always a safe bet, applied lightly, it gives a natural glow to the  skin for a great day or night look.
  • The bare Minerals "Warmth" is a great product which again is beneficial to the skin and also gives a natural glow.
Eye Liner:

  • At Fashuvia we are fans of both liquid and powder eye liners. MAC eye pencils are great  for staying power and a high pigment content.
  • Also, another option would be to take any shadow of your choice and spray MAC Fix+ on the powder to turn it into liner, apply with an angled brush and in no time it will dry on the eye as if it were pencil. Also, Fix+ allows the shadow to dry back to it's original state.
Lip Liner:

  • We love MAC lip liner pencils, for their true color and staying power!!
  • Sonia Kashuk lip pencils are also great because they are a cheaper  brand that blend naturally.
