Why Hello Fav New Website!

I found this website while perusing through a few other blogs. Has anyone ever seen this site before?! As many of you may already know, Mac NEVER goes on sale! Sigh. But, have no fear, for BeFlurt is here! My dreams have been answered :) I have only touched upon this site, and have seen Bobbi Brown, Dior, aaaand, wait for it, Mac on sale. Wooohoooo! Also, if you enter in your email address on the home page, you will receive an additional 10% off. Could this get any better?? So, if I seem to disappear for awhile, I have probably lost myself within this site. Oh BeFlurt, I <3 you.

My Perfect Pink Lip Makeup Tutorial

I'm always in search of the perfect lip, no matter what color that may be. I was experimenting yesterday with a couple of random colors I pulled out of my purse before I headed to dinner with some friends, and stumbled upon my version of the perfect pink lip! This would be beautiful with a super smokey eye. Here is what I used:

First I prepped my lips with Soft Lips lip protectant in Vanilla so they were nice and soft.
Next I lined and filled in my lips with Sephora's Nano Lip Liner in Candid Candy 04.
I then went over the lip liner with Mac's Lustre Lipstick in Sweetie.

Hope you like!

Product Review: CoverGirl

Product Name: CoverGirl WetSlicks Fruit Spritzers Lip Gloss

Purchased At: Walgreens

Price Tag: $4.99. Walgreens was having a special, buy one get one 50% off, so I purchased two.

Review: My feelings about this product are a bit mixed. According to CoverGirl, the Fruit Spritzers will provide a long-lasting shine without the stickiness. I purchased two colors, Fig Splash and Tangerine Splash. All of the lip glosses in this line are flavored and scented. The Fig Splash smells like cookie dough to me, but can be a bit overwhelming. In the tube, it looks like a light purple, but came out very sheer on my lips. The shimmer is pretty and looks nice paired over another lipstick, unless you just want a neutral look. The Tangerine Splash does actually smell like tangerines, which I like much better. The color is a light orange/coral color with gold flecks. This is a really pretty lip gloss for summer, and can be worn alone. This product is moisturizing, and did live up to it's promise of not being sticky.

Buy Again? I don't think I would buy this product again. The smell of the Fig Splash is a bit much for me, and the colors weren't vibrant enough. I'm also not crazy about my lips being super shiny. If you want a shimmery lip gloss that isn't sticky, and would look nice layered over a lipstick, you might like this one, just be aware that the smell/taste is a bit strong.

Budget Friendly Brushes!

You don't have to be a makeup artist to know that the right brush is the key to perfecting any look. You may also know that these brushes can come with a hefty price tag. But, have no fear, Miss Beautyful is here! Teehee. Here are some beauty conscious alternatives:

1. Go to Michael's (or any art store for that matter). Of course you aren't going to go pick out a paint brush to slather makeup on your face, or at least I hope not! Although an art store can offer many great brushes at the fraction of the cost of a MAC brush. Art stores are great for eyeliner and eyeshadow brushes. Check out the scrapbooking section as well, you may find a great bag to hold all of your makeup and brushes!

2. Check out Sigma at http://www.sigmamakeup.com/products.html. A couple of my fav makeup artists who I have found on YouTube videos use this brand all the time. I am getting ready to order a few brushes myself. A crease brush for $9.00?! Yes please!

3. Head over to http://www.makeupgeek.com/store/brushes.html. Marlena, aka MakeupGeek, sells quite a few brushes online for ridiculously cheap as well. I haven't tried any of her brushes yet, but I adore her so I don't think she would steer you wrong.

4. Sephora is also a great option for makeup brushes. Many of the brushes come with a steep price tag, but you can also find some great deals, especially the brush sets. I love Sephora's brushes and highly recommend them. Plus, if you buy one and you don't like it, you can return for a full refund. Who doesn't love that?!

Lorac Makeup Sale!

Lorac eyeshadows for $4.00?! Foundation for $7.00?! It's true! Head over to HauteLook by clicking http://www.hautelook.com/invite/278208 and score some amazing makeup from Lorac right now. Hurry, it's only happening for a couple more days and I'm sure these products will sell out quick!

Cease the Crease!

We have all been there. You do your eye makeup in the morning, and by mid-afternoon, your eyeshadow has taken it upon itself to pool in the crease of your eyelid, making a mess! This is a makeup faux pas you should never have to worry about again, thanks to the magic of eye primers. I have three tried and true primers to share with my conscious beauties!

The newest addition to my primer collection not only primes your lids, it also acts as a concealer and cancels out any color in your skin, so your eyeshadow color stays true. MAC's Painterly Paint Pot is similar to my skin tone, and gives me a blank palette to do whatever fun eye makeup my heart desires! The paint pot is only $16.50, and comes with enough product to last you a year.

My other fav eye primer is the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It comes in a small blue tube, has a slight tint to it, goes on creamy, and dries with a smooth consistency. This primer is amazing; the oils of my skin don't have a fighting chance when I use this as a primer! This small tube runs $17.00 and can be found at Sephora.

Urban Decay also makes a good quality eye primer called Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I have used this primer quite a bit (it was my go to product before Too Faced), and it does work really good. I recommend this product if you like Urban Decay, however I don't like the tube it comes in, which can be really tricky to get product out of when you are getting low. This primer sells for $18.00 at Sephora as well, but I would definitely encourage you to try one of the first two primers before buying this one!

Short & Sweet - It's all in the Pigment

MAC Pigments are one of my fav products to use as an eyeshadow. The colors are rich, beautiful, and stay put for hours. You can create some amazing looks with these pigments. If you have ever purchased one, you probably already know that they can be a bit pricey, even though they come with a TON of product. That being said, who ever goes through an entire pot? I sure haven't, and I use those pigments a lot! A budget-friendly alternative? Check out Makeup Geek's website, where you can buy samples of pigments for under $4.00! The samples may be small, but they still last you a long time. I have purchased several and I have yet to go through one completely! Go to www.makeupgeek.com and click on the far right tab that says "Store". You will find the pigment samples under the Makeup Samples tab. She also sells face powder and paintpot samples!

Go ahead, treat yourself to some fun, festive pigments and have a wonderful Fourth of July!

Quick Beauty Conscious Tip: Must-Have Mascara

Dior DiorShow Mascara is probably the highest rated mascara on the market, but it also comes with one of the most expensive price tags at $24-$28 a tube. Fear not my conscious beauties! I have found a similar product, with, get this, a price tag that is around a third of the price of DiorShow. The mascara I adore is Loreal Voluminous Volume Building Mascara. Now, you may be asking yourself, is Miss Beautyful really an expert on mascara? And to that I must reply, YES! Well, ok, maybe an expert in my own head :) But let me tell you, I have tried many a mascara in my day, trying to find the perfect concoction that keeps my lashes curled, doesn't flake, extends and plumps my lashes, all while remaining water-proof (big baby remember?). I was using DiorShow for awhile, until I realized how much I was shelling out for a tube of that stuff, and every six months at that! Loreal Voluminous has everything DiorShow has, and, dare I say it, I like it even better. Tis true. DiorShow flaked and gathered under my eyes, causing me to look like one of those rabid raccoons in Central Park.

For $7.50 a tube, you really can't go wrong with Loreal Voluminous. click here for a $1.00 off coupon and try for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
