Brooke's Looks

I'm here to make you look (and feel) good.
I love the sun but hate the aftermath..little pimples from sweat (yuck). I find the best cure is to use a face mask. And when home facial remedies aren’t strong enough, I have my go to product: Freeman’s Mint & Lemon clay mask facial. It’s simple, light, nondrying but removes grease. I recommend using it pre-shower, once a week for the best results. I love all Freeman facial products, but I find the the mint & lemon clay mask makes my pores the smallest, even in humid weather. Freeman’s Mint & Lemon clay mask is also a bang for your buck costing only around $4 for a large tube. You can purchase it at local beauty supply stores www.freemanbeauty.com,  and, of course, at www.drugstore.com for the most competitive price!

Browsing the Internet I always see Sparklingly beautiful nails and think.. I can do that! So, I did. Using OPI’s alpine snow and China Glaze’s winter wonderland. Use a bottom clear bottom cost, I suggest nailtique, then apply 2 coats of alpine snow. Let it dry for a few minutes and apply 1 coat of winter wonderland. Add a top coat and voila! Pearly, sparkly, beautiful nails! OPI’s alpine snow and China Glaze’s winter wonderland can be purchased at at amazon.com for their lowest price. Alpine snow is around $6 and winter wonderland is about $5. They can also be purchased directly from the companies websites!

A wonderfully sexy lipstick, or liquid lipstick in this case, I’ve recently fallen in love with is e.l.f.’s ‘luscious liquid lip color’. This is a silky, sultry gloss that is offered at an extremely low cost. It’s long lasting, soften lips, doesn’t clog pore, AND is cruelty free :) I’ve fallen in love with their lovely shade ‘Cherry Tart’. It’s a rich, pigmented red shade that truly is cherry. It applies smoothly and has the sheen a lip gloss but has the deeper color of a lipstick. It’s a perfect middle ground.  E.L.F.’s luscious lip color costs only $1.49 on www.drugstore.com which blows my mind based on the quality of the product. It can also be purchased stright from the source www.eyeslipsface.com for $1.00 (I kid you not).

Browsing the nail salon I discovered this amazing color. A perfect peachy, pink - almost like a ballet slipper: Essie’s A Crewed Interest. It’s described as a ‘luminous peach shade’  on www.essie.com but I spy a bit of pink. This is with a base, two coats, and a top coat. Perfect for the summer and appealing for work AND the beach. It really makes your tan pop!This polish is $8 on Essie’s website and can be purchased there. It’s also available at local beauty supply stores!

I love eyeshadow, I love Tokidoki, put them together and I’m in heaven. This is an adorable eyeshadow pallet carried by Sephora. Not only is it a Sephora exclusive, it’s also limited edition… and on sale! This product contains 8 adorable, blend-able eyeshadows in a Tokidoki travel themed tin with a handle (clearly meant for the gal on the go). The colors are a pink, 2 shades of purple (lavender and a deeper shade), pale green, as well as a deep green, dark brown, bronze, and a luminescent white shade. All of these look great blended together as well as on their own. As mentioned, this pallet can be bought at Sephora and, of course, sephora.com. Originally it was $42 BUT it’s on sale for a mere $19. Snatch it up while you can! Did I mention it comes with an adorable keychain? ‘Cause it does.

I love just about everything hello kitty but this is on the top of my list. This is the Hello Kitty Graffiti duo, which has 4 summer-y eyeshadows and 2 shades of blush. The shadow colors are grey, soft pink, charcoal, and greyish teal. The blushes and the are peach and pink. Even the packaging is perfection. The colors all blend together perfectly. The colors are vibrant, exciting, and perfect for this season. The blushes are my favorite part though, I love having two shades at my finger tips - pink and peach, they’re great for all skin tones. This pallet costs $35 and can be bought at Sephora stores and on their website, www.sephora.com.  Worth every penny, perfect for traveling, carrying in your bag, and everyday use.

Sometimes I can be a bit of a make up snob, if I’m buying a product I like to know it’s high quality, wont irritate my skin, and blends well. That’s what I love Physicians Formula, they make high quality product but at a lower price mark than the big name brands. Well, Physicians Formula makes amazing eyeshadow pallets at a very reasonable price. They even have pallets formulated to bring out the beauty of every eye color, however they work for all eye colors. I use the bronzed hazel (product number 1154). It’s lovely! Sparkly, but not over the top. It’s great for everyday use. They manage to pack 3 different color blends into this compact sized pallet, you can come out to about 18 different looks from this one product alone! The pallet also comes with a brush, which is sponge like and works great with this formula. Physicians Formula Custom eye shadow costs around $11. It can be purchased at ulta, drugstore.com, beauty stores, and of course physiciansformula.com.

I love lipstick, especially in the spring/summer to liven up the colors in my outfit. I’m a fan of the expensive stuff because it’s usually quality - it lasts longer, doesn’t over dry lips, and pigmentation is usually more vibrant. Recently I haven’t been allowing myself to splurge, it can be unnecessary once you find the right product. Luckily, I found the perfect and INEXPENSIVE lipstick that isn’t drying and had awesome pigmentation: Revlon’s ColorBurst Lipstick! I have this product in a few colors: fuchsia, baby pink, and peach. Baby pink is definitely my favorite, it’s a nice everyday light pink color with a bit of a sheen. It’s the most moisturizing out of the ones I’ve tried. Fuchsia is is a bright, bold, and summary pink that really makes a statement. And the peach is subtle but beautiful. These lipsticks cost around $7 a piece and are sold at drugstores, target, walmart, and various beauty stores. It’s also sold directly on www.revlon.com where they have the largest array of colors.

Tweezers, an item no one wants to buy but EVERYONE (men and women) need. There are a million brands, styles, designs, and companies that make them. However, one company outshines them all: Tweezerman. Their tweezers are the best for so many reasons. They grasp hair the best, whether fine or thick they surely can pluck them out. They make tweezing less painful because you don’t have to go over the same area over and over again. They make several varieties including slanted, splinter tweeze (for ingrown hairs), and they even make tweezers in mini sizes. They’re durable, last a long time and, FINALLY, they come in a huge variety of adorable colors - even Betsey Johnson made a line! And of course good old stainless steel.  Tweezerman tweezer’s range in price from $12.50, for mini efficient tweezers, all the way to $100, for ‘luxe crystal edition’ tweezers. Take it from me, the cheapest ones are just fine!  These can be purchased at beauty supply stores and local drug stores. And of course they can be bought at www.tweezerman.com along with all their other products.
