Lumene Premium Beauty Rejuvenating Makeup

Luxury Ingredients!

This product is made in Europe and considered a luxury brand abroad. I find this foundation to be very moisturizing without being opaque. My skin is dewy and my natural color prevails, but looks flawless. This makeup will not settle into lines and improves the overall appearance of my skin with its top of the line ingredients. This is not to be worn if you expect to be sweating a lot (most foundations aren't). Anyone who complains about the color simply chose the wrong shade.

Lumene Vitamin C+ Pure Radiance Day Cream

Wow

The perfect moisturizer for those of us who can't stand greasy skin 2 hours after the initial application.

bareMinerals Skin Rev-er Upper

Warning, not good for oily or bacteria prone skin.

Wearing this defeats the point of wearing the mineral makeup if you want to reduce the buildup of bacteria on your skin. This stuff clogged my pores and does not have a smooth finish. I recommend buying a moisturizing that's worked for your skin type and substitute that for a primer.

bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer

Not great.

You're better off choosing your own moisturizer to wear underneath your makeup. This may be too greasy for many skin types and it does wear well throughout the day. Many drugstore buys even out the moisture level of my skin better for a longer period of time. Pass.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Visibly Even Foaming Cleanser

Best...Cleanser...Ever

It's gentle, effective, and does what it says. It evens out your skin tone and gently exfoliates with just the right amount of scrubbies. Usually, exfoliating cleansers are ridiculously harsh and the beads are too big. Not so with this product! This is great for naturally uneven skin tones like mine.

Physicians Formula Eyebrightener� Brightening & Curling Mascara

If you haven't tried this, consider it next time you see a sale sign!

This mascara is truly unique. I have yet to see another mascara that brightens your lashes the way this does. The brush is so-so, but the color=pure magic. This is the perfect mascara if you want to change up your routine.

Lumene Time Freeze Instant Lift Makeup

Absolutely Fabulous!

Run, do not walk to your drugstore for this product. This formula is light yet moisturizing. The color selection is fantastic and the ingredients are better than those you will find at any specialty store. You skin will not be concealed, but improved. This is a fantastic product for young and mature skin--it will not settle into lines! This product is made in Europe and it is a luxury brand abroad. You are getting a steal!

Lumene Double Stay Mineral Makeup - For Normal and Dry Skin

More drugstores should carry this brand!

Lumene is a luxury cosmetic line in Europe, yet it's sold in drugstores here. The makeup is wonderful for the skin and a must for any woman who can not wear drugstore foundation for any reason. It is moisturizing, light, and will not settle into lines. Congratulations if your local drugstore carries this brand!

Maybelline New York Lash Expansion Washable Mascara

The Brush Literally Grabs Your Lashes!

I have short, straight, sparse lashes. The key to this product is the brush. The fibers on the brush have tiny wings on the tip that grab your lashes and coat them on all sides, from bottom to tip. The formula could be richer, but I recommend this for the first application. The second application should be a richer formula applied only to the tips to avoid clumping.
