I have fallen in LOVE with Ruby Woo!

 

 

 

            If you’re looking for the perfect “Red Lip” for Valentine’s Day, no need to look any further!  Mac’s Ruby Woo is your life saver and your go to this Valentine’s Day for that festive, vibrant look that we all love. 

 

 

            If you love a matte look, the Retro Matte Ruby Woo is for you.  This fearless red has an orange undertone and looks great on most skin tones.  With a matte lip as vivid as Ruby Woo, it’s important to make sure your lips are thoroughly moisturized before applying the color.  Dry, cracked lips and the Retro Matte Ruby Woo do not go well together as this lipstick tends to be a bit drying because of the matte effect.   Use some of your favorite lip moisturizer such as Maybelline’s Baby Lips or Eos lip balm before applying this lipstick and you will be good to go!

            A red lip looks extra fierce when worn with all black, and we all have that special “little black dress” just waiting for the perfect opportunity to be worn.  Who doesn’t want to look in the mirror and see stunning!  So this Valentine’s Day, throw on your best LBD, a pair of sexy pumps, and Mac’s Retro Matte Ruby Woo.  The show will start and finish with YOU and your RUBY WOO!

 I know a lot of you ladies have this color in your collection.  Tell me what you think?  Is it one of your favorites?  What do you like pairing this color with? 

 

Until next time....Stay Beautiful & Keep it Humble!

FINALLY!!! A Product For Me ~ Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream

 

 

Hello Guys!!  Is it Friday yet? LOL

  Well, today I wanted to chat a little about one of my current beauty MUST HAVES! 

After months and months of searching for a BB or CC cream that would work perfectly for my 34 year old skin...A product that would help lighten my dark spots caused by a horrible break out and not cause more break outs in the process.... A product that is lightweight and non-greasy....Well, after months and months on this search, I can honestly say ~ FINALLY!!! A product for me!

 

~~ Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream ~~

 

 

 

 

First of all, let me start by explaining a little about what a BB or CC cream is for those of you who might not be familiar.  A BB cream, or beauty balm is claimed to be an all in one facial product - a moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock.  It can be worn alone for a lightweight feel or under foundation for more coverage.  A CC cream has pretty much the same effect, only difference is that CC stands for color corrector and a CC cream focuses on lightening/evening the skin tone due to dark spots or uneven skin tone. 

 

 

About a year ago, I suffered a horrible break out and I mean it was HORRIBLE!!!  At the time I was wearing foundation on a daily basis, like I normally did, nothing out of the ordinary.  For some reason, something caused my skin to go crazy and I had zit after zit!  As soon as one group of pimples would clear up, another group would appear....I tend to have oily/combination skin and my pores get clogged easily, so my skin has always been acne prone.  But I have never had a breakout that lasted for months and months at a time, where one pimple would clear and then two more would appear soon thereafter....

 

 

So last year I decided to stop wearing foundation and try something more lightweight on my skin.  I started researching BB and CC creams.  I then began the search for the product that worked best for my skin.  I noticed that BB creams can be quite oily/dewy on the skin, so its important to choose the right brand that best suites your skin type. 

 

The consistency is thick/creamy and not dewy or oily on the skin

 

 

After trying several different brands of BB and CC creams, I finally ran across the Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream.  I have used their BB cream as well, but I like the CC cream better.  The consistency is thicker and less dewy and it dries matte on my skin, which is great because the last thing I need is more oil packed onto skin like mine.  This product also has SPF 30, which is great for those sunny days! 

Available in colors:  Fair, Fair/Light, Light, Light/Neutral, Light/Medium, Medium, Medium/Dark, Dark

 

 

The labeling on the box reads as below:

"It's our ultimate complexion correcting cream!  Reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone over time while you prime, perfect, protect, hydrate, and control oil- all in one step.  Wear alone or under foundation for more coverage."

 

 

I purchased my product from Sephora for $42.00

You can also purchase online at www.smashbox.com

 

 

 

 Below are a couple pictures of my skin after applying one layer of the CC cream.  My dark spots are fading and fading and I haven't had a bad breakout since last year! 

Thank God!!

 

 

The Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream gives my skin the lightweight, yet full coverage I am looking for...  

 

Only wearing the CC cream with mascara.  I love a natural look! 

 

 

I've been using the Smashbox CC Cream for about 6 months now and I must say, it does just what it claims to do.  For me that is.  I absolutely love this product and it has become a staple in my every day routine.  The only downside to this product is the price ~ $42.00 for 1 fl oz.  Granted I only use a little during each use and my tube has lasted for a long time, but $42.00 is a little on the pricey side I would say.  Also, there are not many colors to choose from.  My color is Medium/Dark.  I was glad that they released this new color Medium/Dark which works much better for me than the color Medium.....

 

All in all the Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone with oily, acne prone skin and seeking a good BB/CC cream!
