ALMAY & $100 GIVEAWAY

 

I have been a fan of Almay makeup for a while now. One of my favorite concealers that I will never part with is from Almay! So when they contacted me about reviewing some of their new products, I was obviously excited to get my hands on it :) I figured what a better way to play with makeup then before a date night. So I put together a casual, fresh and clean look for a date outside with my husband.

 

I always love when eye shadow compacts come in an easy guide on how to apply it. I just like having all the complimentary colors all together in one place. So I loved all their different shades that were part of the new Intense i-Color Bold Nudes™ Kit because of that! Beautiful colors and an easy guide for those who aren't as comfortable with eye makeup or creating a "bolder" look. I loved the fun purple shadow - I would totally use that for a great night time date look. For my day date I went with the perfect neutral eye in the different shades of brown.

I always use a face powder to "set" my look. I love the Almay Nearly Naked for the exact title. Nearly naked. I love when my face looks like I have NO MAKEUP ON! I am always wanting the more natural look, and this powder finished the whole look off great!

 

Now I know it doesn't make sense to share the face powder before I get to the foundation since the powder goes on last, but I had to save the best for last. I will be honest, when I first saw the Smart Shade Mousse I thought, "what the heck is this?" When it says mousse, they are not joking, this stuff is thick looking mousse, and the color looks super light. It looks like cream! But I went for it and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the mousse was super light, yet had amazing coverage! It went on just like a cream, and blended in perfectly. The mouse is made to transform into your ideal shade, and it did just that! It was velvety and left me feeling like I had a "weightless" make up feeling. Remember how I said I like to look and feel like I am not wearing any makeup? This did the trick. I am pretty loyal to the foundation I use right now, but this might have just swayed me over! I would like to point out that I absolutely loved what it did for under my eyes! Over all it gave my skin a poreless look. Seriously giddy about this product! GO TRY IT!

The perfect fresh face look for my day date :) LOVE when I can find make up that helps my skin look flawless.
