My personal favorite Redpoint item, Airbrush Effects Blushwhip is a light and airy blush.  The color is a perfect dewy glow.

The packaging is bulkier than I personally prefer, a tub inside a larger container,  but it’s perfect for your home vanity.  The color can’t be beat, a nice corally tone with flecks.  I use just one layer but if you prefer more color just layer on more!  Wear with your foundation or not, concerned about looking dry?  Blushwhip is perfect because it’s reflective and moisturizing.  Great for summer when you want to look fresh and dewey and perfect for winter to avoid windburn.

Redpoint Airbrush Effects Blushwhip retails for $28

Available in two colors: Glow and Vida Rosy-Pink

I was quite flattered to get the chance to review Thevi Cosmetics recently.  Great makeup, the blush is awesome, applies wonderfully.  As a bonus it contains Vitamins C & E to condition your skin.  No mineral oil! 

Once again a color that shows up on my suntanned skin.  The product packaging is too cute, very slim and scratch resistant.  Thevi will make you blush too, try the ‘hint of red’ or ‘whisper apricot’ for starters.

I love their slogan, “inner beauty made visible”… so true, when I’m wearing Thevi I look as good as I feel. 

  AVON is the brand I’ve vowed to get to know better this year and so far it’s been great!  For starters the price is good and secondly it’s available online, no need to be scared of being accosted by sales ladies.  Ok, on to the products…

You’re bushing! You radiate health and beauty, everywhere you go your Golden Glow is with you. AVON’s smooth mineral blush is a perfect make up bag item because it’s perfect for day as a light neutral look and gorgeous with smokey eyes and/or luscious lippies.  Smooth Mineral blush is available at a low sale price of $5.99! 

And talking about smokey eyes, try AVON’s smooth mineral eyeshadows.  They come in a little pot and can go on super light or you can layer on more for more drama.  I’ve been wearing a lot of Breeze, which is a stunning blue shimmer shadow but since I’m more of a green person I keep it really light.  I’m also terrified of looking like MIMI from Drew Carrey show which is another reason to tread lightly through blue shadow waters.  Each shimmer shadow is on sale for $4.99!

The most versatile and staple item of this crop in my opinion is the personal match smooth mineral makeup powder.  It’s a loose powder which is portioned small enough to manage in my purse.  The powder can be worn alone but it is so light you may do better to have your foundation on so the powder has a good base to hold onto.  The best part is the personal match is formulated with 100% pure, micronized pigments.  No talc, oil, fragrance or other irritants that can irritate your skin!  This is a great bang for your buck, sale price is only $7.99!

If you truly want to create art you need good brushes.  Afterglow uses the highest quality taklon (a man-made fiber) so your brush is cruelty free!   Get the best results when applying mineral makeup with Afterglow’s quality brushes with no shedding - I can’t stand when the hairs of brushes come off and are all over my face!  The taklon fibers pick up the color better than a cheap brush and feels so good on my skin.

Wash brushes regularly with mild shampoo to get excess makeup and dust out.  Afterglow has paired the adorable little Kabuki brush with a sweet, silver, key ringed bag to keep the excess powder out of your iPod and other purse paraphenalia while on the go.  

Afterglow makes vegan products, never tested on animals and is free of many harmful ingredients. 

More Afterglow coming up, till then…

The theatrics of Kabuki have inspired a retractable brush by essence of BEAUTY.  I really love this little brush because I don’t have to keep it in my make up bag, it’s retractable so I can just put it in my purse without worrying about loose powder or blush all over the place. 

Perfect travel gift or for the girl on the go.  It’s great for powder or blush, what else do you need to know? it hasn’t shed at all and I’ve used it quite a bit.

essence of Beauty’s plush cosmetic brushes are made from authentic hairs and fibers so you get the best quality at a drugstore price.  For more reviews check out Total Beauty.

 My favorite MAC product of all time: Fleur Power.  Fleur Power is an amazing pink shade blush, that lends you some Flower Power! I’ve had mine forever. 

It can be really hard to find a pink that is not “too pink” but still able to show.  I even wear Fleur Power in the summer when I’m tan, which is quite something because I get a good 2-3 shades darker than winter.  

Fleur Power Pink is perfect for every day wear, I absolutely love it and get compliments on it all the time
