Hi loves! Recently I went on a bit of a makeup spending spree to restock my professional makeup kit for when I do work on clients. I ended up spending about $150 on everything but I have to say that I am so pleased with everything that has arrived so far. I 'm still expecting one more box that should get here today! But I wanted to share with you all the goodies that I have received so far!
I went ahead and decided to bite the bullet and splurge on a Graftobian HD 18 shade foundation palette. I got it in the Warm palette but they have a cool and neutral palette that I am going to end up purchasing as well. These foundations are perfect for in front of the camera. They blend so well and are incredibly creamy and even though it looks like there isn't much product in the palette, a little definately goes a long way with these. I love that it comes with 18 different shades simply for the fact that it makes it so much easier to color match clients' skin tones. If you end up running out of a shade, they sell the individual colors seperately. So that's nice. I got this for about $60 and I would seriously recommend these to any makeup artist looking for a great foundation palette!
The next thing I got was a Stilla lip palette. I love Stilla products and when I saw this I knew I had to have it. The colors are so gorgeous and pigmented! I use a lip brush and apply whatever shade I choose over a lipliner and the color payoff is insane. Stilla has a few other lip palettes with different shades that I'm considering getting in the future!
The next two things I purchased because I've been wanting to test them out for quite sometime. The first is the Ben Nye Neutral Set Colorless Powder. It's basically just a setting or finishing powder to apply once you've finished your makeup. I've tested it out and even though it's a pretty small bottle, you really only need a tiny bit to brush over the whole face. I like it quite a bit! It adds a really pretty soft finish to your makeup and helps give a finished look. I believe this was only about $6, so of course I couldn't resist!
The last little beauty is the Model in a Bottle setting spray. OH. MY. GOSH. This spray is seriously the absolute best setting spray I have ever used. After applying my makeup in the morning, I spray this all over my face and let it set for about 20 seconds or so. A lot of people in the reviews on this product have complained about the smell, but honestly I thought it smelled pretty good! But I might just be weird. My makeup lasted all day and night without one smudge or anything out of place. It looked the same as when I applied it in the morning. I am definately going to be using this on brides!
All of the products I reviewed I purchased from Camera Ready Cosmetics.com. If you're looking for really great deal on HD and professional makeup, I would give this site a look through! They have all kinds of brands for amazing prices.
I hope you all enjoyed my little haul. As I said in the post, I have another package coming today (hopefully!) with a bunch more items that I purchased so as soon as those come in I will be popping up a review for you guys!
