Tha Gabulous Lyfe

  Hello, Glamour Dolls I hope 2021 is starting off well for all of you! Today, I'm sharing my favorite beauty products of 2020. I spent the most of 2020 at home, but it did give me some time to play with beauty products. Here are my top four products. 💫⁣ ⁣ 🤎 Perfume: Being at home didn’t stop me from wearing fragrances, I started wearing it around the house and even to bed. YSL Libre is my favorite scent right now; I couldn’t find it in time to take this pic. My next favorite is Gabrielle Chanel. It’s my name, 😊 and it’s light and soft. ⁣If you like soft florals, you may like Gabrielle Chanel.  ⁣ 🤎 Lashes: I didn’t go many places in 2020, but when I did, I did a full beat. Any lashes that have volume and glam, I’ll wear it. I recently fell in love with mink lashes. I have a few on my list that I’m going to try, but what’s a few more?! Leave me any recommendations in the comments. 😉⁣ ⁣ 🤎 Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Foundation: This was my go to foundation all year....

Makeup Forever's HD foundation is another foundation that I frequently wear. I promised a review on this foundation (I know it's late) so here it is... Product Claims "An oil-free medium-to-full-coverage liquid foundation that covers skin imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life. This foundation creates a soft-focus effect, which is designed to meet the coverage concerns of those in the spotlight. It leaves your complexion with such a flawless finish, it can withstand bright or harsh lighting. Pros   - It leaves skin beautifully flawless! -Great for photography, (no white haze) especially great for weddings, photo shoots or tv production. -Available in 25 shades. -Available in a variety of undertones including: olive, beige, pink and yellow. -It feels very light on your face. -A little goes a long way. -Light to medium coverage. -No harsh lines,  this is good if you forget to blend past the perimeter of your face...

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

Thanks to everyone who voted in this poll, the majority voted that "yes," I should do a post on my top beauty products of 2010. So, here are the products that I've been in love with for this year and can't get enough of using them. BODY MOISTURIZERS Love Spell and Passionate Kisses (discontinued) my favorite scents from Victoria's Secret I have fell back in love with Victoria's Secret Garden lotions. I used to buy these all the time years ago, in every fragrance but I stopped because I became a consultant for a self care and wellness company and I started using their body moisturizers... that company is closed now, so I went back to using these lotions. They smell beautifully and they make your body, especially my hands feel like silk. My favorite scent is Love Spell. I have had these bottles for a little while now... Victoria's Secret doesn't make the bottles like this anymore. Caribbean Ginger perfume essence body butter from Soul Purpose ...

A while ago back in March I did a post on " Foundation for WOC ." In the post I referenced the April edition of Essence magazine. It was a foundation special in that article for women of color on pages 48-54. From March until now that particular post is my most viewed post according to Blogger stats. Since I featured general information in that post, I wanted to revisit the topic again with more detailed information. This will be a 2 part post. The first post will be on debunking the myths a lot of women have about foundation (not just women of color) and the second post will be foundation recommendations that have been proven to work well.  *The term WOC (women of color) includes but not limited to African American, Indian, Latino, Filipino and Hispanic women.* FOUNDATION MYTHS 1. Foundation will cause my skin to breakout - A. Before trying foundation it helps to know your skin type first! If your skin is oily you wouldn't want to purchase an oil-based foundati...

I'm an avid LOVER and subscriber to Essence magazine! This month's (April 2010) issue has a beauty special on the best foundation for Women of Color. It highlights many of the most concerned foundation topics: -skin concerns (avoiding breakouts, not looking heavily made up) -how to pick the best formula for your skin type and your needed coverage -how to make your foundation last throughout the day -the proper tools to apply your foundation -special effect foundations that help with blemishes and anti-aging foundation The article also lists the foundations and prices that will work best for your budget and skin. I haven't seen a more detailed article about foundation for women of color ever, so this article is definitely worth reading! If you've liked reading this article in Essence magazine-they have a monthly beauty section covering skin, hair and makeup exclusively for women of color.
