bareMinerals BAREPRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation

bareMinerals BAREPRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation on Belle Belle Beauty

I usually shy away from powder foundation, but I’ve been following a new supplement routine that has my normally dry skin a little more oily and glowy. So this powder foundation landed on my desk at the perfect time. bareMinerals foundations have always worked well for me. My skin drinks in the mineral formulas. And the shade range is solid in my light to medium tone so it is easy to get a perfect match. I am currently using Natural.

This new powder version is long-wear powered with vitamins and minerals. The pigments work to perfect complexion. And also improve skin clarity over time. I use the BAREPRO Core Coverage Brush and tap the foundation into my skin.

Available at Sephora or take advantage of this offer at bareMinerals through 10/9.

Bioderma’s Micellar Water H20

Bioderma's Micellar Water H20 on Belle Belle Beauty

Micellar Water, once a hot new beauty product here in the States, is now almost ubiquitous with loads of brands having launched their own versions. But the original is still my favorite. The French Bioderma’s Micellar Water is such a classic. And, in my book, cannot be improved upon. One bottle is sold every two seconds around the world. Models, artists and celebrities swear about it.

I use it morning and night. In the AM, it plays more of a role of a toner. At night, I use it to remove makeup and as a second step of cleansing. I love the purity, lack of scent and the fact that it doesn’t irritate my skin. The formula works to restore balance and pH level.

Available at Beautylish and Amazon.

Buxom 6 Degrees Below Sexy Plumping Full-On Lip Polish Collection

Buxom 6 Degrees Below Sexy Plumping Full-On Lip Polish Collection on Belle Belle Beauty

I saved this last Ulta 21 Days of Beauty suggestion for last because it is always the one I stock up on during the event. Buxom’s Lip Polish is my absolute favorite. I share with family and friends all year round because it is just too good to keep to myself. This year’s set is a 6-piece mini of some serious crowd-pleasing shades.

The formula has a slight tingle that refreshes and adds a little plump. The finish is so shiny but without all the transfer that can be so annoying. These shades are super sheer so don’t be thrown by how they look on the tube. Even the darkest is a hint of color. Which I love because they are so wearable. Shades included in this collection:

  • Dominique (glittering ice)
  • Amy (golden nude)
  • Celeste (prismatic soft peach)
  • Clair (starry plum haze)
  • Starr (brandy cordial)
  • Jasmine (black cherry)

My favorite is Amy – just a hint of golden finish for a natural look. Hurry into Ulta before their event ends tomorrow!

Urban Decay Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette

Urban Decay Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette on Belle Belle Beauty

I am back today with another palette from Ulta that will make you run to their 21 Day of Beauty event going on now through Saturday. While I don’t wear lipstick a ton, if I do, these days it is Urban Decay. Their formulas have so much pigment. They stay on, making them wearable for long evening events and days at the office. If you can’t commit to a tube of just one color, this palette has so many classics and favorites.

Urban Decay Blackmail Vice Lipstick Palette contains twelve shades that range from light to dark and in all six Urban Decay finishes. I love how the shades apply without tugging and really nourish lips. It almost goes on even better with a brush rather than tube. For the artists out there, the shades can be used together for contouring and layering.

The palette is slick and modern. They even made the wells with a little step so you can wipe excess product off the brush – brilliant! Lipstick devotees will love this for travel. Shades Included:

  • Sheer Shame (Sheer) berry
  • Firebird (Cream) deep fuchsia
  • Big Bang (Metallized) bright pink sparkle
  • Disobedient (Cream) medium pink
  • EZ (Cream) bright red-orange
  • 714 (Mega Matte) bright red
  • Vanished (Sheer) pale neutral nude
  • 1993 (Comfort Matte) medium brown
  • Ex-Girlfriend (Sheer Shimmer) nude-rose w/pink shimmer
  • Amulet (Metallized) metallic brick rose
  • Conspiracy (Metallized) plum-bronze shimmer
  • Blackmail (Comfort Matte) deep berry wine

Available at Ulta.
