So here is my first FOTD for the year, in honor of Valentine’s Day. How I achieved this look:
I recently watched a video of Collier Strong apply L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup with a sponge. Since I haven’t bought the True Match foundation in a while (not sure if I’m still C7 or not), I did have a sample of Illusions Cosmetics Foundation Stix in IC10, courtesy of the Tunnell sisters. I primed my face with Motives Foundation Primer and I used sponges that I bought from the Lackland AFB BX to apply the foundation. I needed more coverage on my forehead, sides of my face and chin area. With cream foundations, it’s so easy to apply too much product in one area so you have to work fast. Also, I’ve read that you should pat on the foundation instead of rubbing it on. Well, I did some patting and rubbing but I think it came out all right. Don’t you agree?
I had already shaped my brows with my fabulous pair of LaVaque Tweezers and then I filled them in (slightly) with Elke Day Brow Shadow in Dark Brunette. I decided to try my newest mascara, CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe in Black Platinum. I applied Black Radiance Sheer Blush in Spiced Ginger on my lids and cheeks. Then I set everything with Black Opal Invisible Oil Blocking Powder in Invisible. I used a powder puff. I’m wearing a combo of Maybelline Shiny-Licious Gloss in Sugar Plum and CoverGirl WetSlicks AmazeMint in Everything’s Rosy on my lips. Tell me what you think!
Stay True to the Vixen in You! ♥

I think it looks great. Flawless without being mask-like. You do chose the best lip colors. Is the cover girl mascara as great as all the magazines are making it out to be? How was the Black Opal invisible powder? My face is pretty oil free now but come the summer, watch out!
Aww thanks BSB!! I try.
As far as I can tell, the CoverGirl Luxe LashBlast is just like the original formula but with sparkles. The Black Opal Invisible Powder is great! Even Sam Fine recommends it! 
Subtle, but very pretty
Thank you Kizzy!
