Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator

Etsee LAuder Idealist Illuminator

This serum rocks my socks off. it really has helped even out my skintone and is a great pre-primer. (for days when I have extra time and want to look really pulled together I use it together with the original Idealist pore refinisher which is one of the best products on the market). I am reaching the bottom of the bottle of the Illuminator and was so happy to score another new bottle at a cancer benefit, this is not something that i ever want to run out of. I don't usually spend a lot on my make-up on a regular basis (I'm a special occasion splurger), but this is one product that I am going to have to keep in my cabinet at all times. I have some sun-spots and discoloration from picking at my skin and the Illuminator has definitely lightened and brightened all without any skin discomfort. It adds the most sheer, subtle shimmer to your skin, I just make sure to check that I've blended it well, sometimes I notice a golden smear on my nose when I rush. I've noticed that some serums have added to the fact that my pores tend to clog, but not with this product. I even have had more success with liquid foundations, products that i usually steer clear of. LAtely I've noticed that after prepping with this and the Lauder DayWear Tint Release with spf, Cover Girl NAtural Wear foundation has been making my skin look fantastic. I've been alternating between the CG liquid and my standby, Bare Minerals powder (a product that I'll forever be loyal to). The last item I'll mention is StriVectin skin scrub, it's another miracle product, and has done wonders for my nasty blackheads. I think I've struck upon my miracle regime and CAN"T WAIT to go to my 20th high school reunion to show off my skin!

CoverGirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation

CoverGirl NatureLuxe foundation

I am not much of one to wear liquid foundation, but this product is fantastic! It is so light, absorbs and blends really easily. It has tones that really match my skin and I don't walk around feeling as if i have a heavy product on my face. When I'm not using my BareMinerals, this is what I've got on!
