As girls with super-pale skin, we’re always looking for the next best bronzer to get that sun- kissed, non-freckly look. However, sometimes we end up overdoing it and looking like we just got a bad fake tan. As a remedy we’ll layer some blush over the bronzer, but we normally just turn out looking like a mess! But alas, we made a discovery, and perhaps our cries for help have been answered. We just got the bareMinerals Be Blushing Collection complete with the Compatible Blush Duo and the Tapered Blush Brush, and it helped us achieve the ultimate look we’ve been striving for. The jar comes with a bubblegum pink blush called sorbet on one side, and a bronzer called Joyous Jennifer on the other. The two are made to perfectly compliment each other. We first swept the bronzer over our cheeks and then finished it off with the blush resulting in a completely natural look. The kit is priced at $40, but you can get it on sale at Ulta (search “Be Blushing”) for $9.99!

With the current state of the economy, we’ve decided to cut back on little things like our beloved manicures. However, the thought of doing our nails (especially the toes) ourselves has always been daunting. For some reason our nails always turn out like clumpy messes! After testing out a variety of nail polishes, we found that the Lycra Wear +10 Minerals from Rimmel London is the perfect fit for us. Due to the addition of the liquid form of the fiber lycra and minerals to each bottle, you don’t need a base or top coat, and the polish dries in just a few minutes so you can go on with your busy lives without any smudges or smears. We were ecstatic to see that our vibrant and sparkly pink color, “Speed Dating,” went on smoothly and evenly, with little effort. The product comes in 21 different colors ranging from a very white “Snow Queen,” to a black “Hypnotise,” and the best part? You can get it at Ulta for only $3.30!

We’ve been aprehensive most of our lives to purchase foundations and concealers anywhere besides the cosmetics counter at a department store or Sephora. After testing out the Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer $6.49, at Drugstore.com we realized that we’ve most definitely been missing out! The creamy concealer doesn’t cake at all, and provides perfect amount of moisture to the skin. There’s a variety of shades to choose from, and thankfully the “fair” was an absolute perfect match for us. This product worked so well that it actually made us kind of embarassed that we spent $30 for one at Sephora…

So maybe we are dorks, but we thought that the CARGO Essential Eyeshadow Palette, $32 at Sephora, not only provides fabulous, neutral eye color, BUT tells you where to place each shade! We love that we’ll have makeup-artist worthy makeup with every application, and are just wondering why no one thought of this ingenious labeling sooner!
