Barbie look
I did this barbie look out of boredom and because I wanted to use my Coastal Scents 88 shimmer palette that has been sitting in my bathroom drawer. I figured since summer crept upon us that it was only right that i pay homage to it with some bright and funky colors. To start, i used Urban Decay primer potion as the eye base (my ultimate favorite). I then used a mix of a green and yellow from the palette and put it on my lid. In the outer crease, i used Makeup Forever's Matte Eyeshadow #92 in purple. I blended that with the Neon Pink #75 so that you could not see any definitive lines. For my highlight, i used Stila's Smitten shadow as well as the inner corner of the eye. The bottom liner was a color from the 88 palette that i used a mixing medium to make it into a liner. I topped it off with Benefit baby Cakes liner and there you have it...Barbie at its fines!

Benefit Cosmetics Oxygen Wow Review
To start off, first let me tell you that this product is absolutely AMAZING! I am very apprehensive to try new foundations because my skin is very sensitive and will breakout when introducing new products to my face, so naturally, I am a creature of habit. I tried this foundation under my Smashbox Photo Finish Primer (a favorite of mine), and I was blown away by how dewy and fresh/natural my face appeared, in addition to having great coverage. It honestly looked like it was my own skin, but just radiant and glowing. Using the primer underneath really helps to allow the foundation to smooth over any sort of lines or imperfections you have; it make a HUGE difference.
The consistency threw me off a bit as well because it is somewhat on the thinner side and seems more like a fluid, but don't let that fool you. This is perfect for the daytime where you don't want to wear too much makeup, especially come summertime where it just melts off. You can pick how intense you would like it to be by layering your applications and it covers like a charm. Another good thing about this is that it has SPF in it (which again usually makes me breakout), but this did not irritate my skin whatsoever. I am truly a fan of this item and will use this as my new go-to foundation. I would say this is definitely an item worth trying out for yourself. It does not irritate the skin and provides an amazing coverage while also making you look like you have that natural glow to your skin. XOXO
