MICABella for Spring
Micabella is a natural makeup that is 100% mineral and fragrance free. I have tried a slew of minerals and nothing is more impressive than when you see the range of colors and textures that are available. The best thing about minerals is that it is so versatile. You can use it as an eyeliner, mascara, blush, lips, nails, body and even hair. Find out how on www.micabella.com. They even have looks you can learn to do.

Shine Free is the Way to Be!
Mattify! Cosmetics is a company specifically geared towards those with oily skin. They’re signature products are mattifying powders that provide an oil-absorbent kaolin clay base that soaks up oil all day so you don’t have to reapply pressed powder or blot throughout the day. The powders contain corn starch, silica spheres, rice powders and other natural ingredients that soak up x3 times their weight in oil. These powders also form a barrier for your skin so keep dirt and irritants from seeping into the skin and clogging pores.
I have combination skin but throughout the day my skin can get shiny especially with change in weather. I’ve been using Mattify! Cosmetics powder in Mattify! Ultra and I am in love! I’ve never found a powder that truly keeps my face shine-free all day long without having to blot or reapply powder. I’ve tried different primers that are supposedly supposed to reduce shiny but it’s rare to find one that actually works. Mattify! Ultra and the rest of the powders can be applied under or over make-up or even alone which makes it super versatile. On days I know i’ll be in humidity or stuffy places I like to apply some before and after I put on my foundation to be sure I won’t get shiny.
The Mattify! powders come in original, sensitive, and ultra. There’s one right for everyone whether you just want to use it as a setting powder or you want to battle oily skin. Best of all, your face won’t look chalky so it’s perfect for all skin tones. I recommend this for anyone an everyone for everyday use and especially those nights out where the last thing you want to worry about is powdering your nose.
Personal Tip: try mixing your Mattify! powder with your favorite mineral powder foundation for a lighter coverage but keeping the staying power!Check out all the products from Mattify! Cosmetics which include eyeshadows, body shimmers, and bronzers. You can also follow them on twitter @mattifycosmetic to find tips and tricks!

vivid eye shadows in coppery shimmerBeauty will shift from dramatic eyeliner to smoke ringed eyes…from matte to metallics and from conservative hues to off beat brights. It’s fun, funky and fresh!
Vivid blues and greens are hot hues for the upcoming seasons
To get this look, use a cream eyeshadow like this one from Shu Uemura
richly stained pout
Stila Pomegranate Crush will help you achieve this look!
Metallics for a frosty surface & glacial lookTo get this look, use a Mica based powder eyeshadow and don’t forget the eyeshadow primer. The primer will help it stay on and not crease throughout the day. Since mineral eyeshadow is super blend-able and easy to use, make sure you use a variety of shades to create your ultimate ice queen look. You can always layer for a more dramatic effect. Tap off the brush before you apply it to your eyes, or it will end up all over your cheeks.

Use Make Up For Ever Glitters or Too Faced Starry Eye Liners and my personal fave Urban Decay.Switch up your makeup routine and be the first to rock these trends! Which look is your favorite? - Uncategorized
