Calvin Klein Makeup?!?!?!

If you live in the US you’ve probably heard of Calvin Klein unless... you’ve been living under a rock. He is known for his underwear and fragrance ads and denim designs. Most of us have seen a sexy CK ad! Well to my surprise, he has a makeup line! Who knew?!?

I made a stop at Ulta over the weekend with one of my best friend’s with a short list of items to buy. My bestie stopped to look at lipstick and low and behold it was the Calvin Klein brand. The CK representative happened to be in the store and she began to introduce us to their line. CK’s line is an exclusive to ULTA stores; new to Michigan stores.

The CK rep raved about their face makeup, a 3-in-1 solution (primer, sunscreen, and foundation) which is designed to be light on the skin but provide the necessary coverage. It also adjusts to your complexion and is able to darken up to two shades; perfect for the summer months. I also picked up their skin illuminator liquid in warm with the intention of using it as a highlighter. I used both products this weekend and I love the feel and finish of both! If you usually wear a tinted moisturizer in the summer I think this product is definitely a great alternative because it’s as light as or maybe even lighter on the skin than some tinted moisturizers on the market. The other great thing about this line is the pricing. It is extremely reasonable. The 3-in-1 makeup retails for $30 and the Illuminator is $20. CK offers a full line of makeup; check them out at an Ulta store near you!

Lipstick Secret!

Have you ever worn a lipstick and was completely turned off by the drying effects, smudging off on everything you drink, or it not being as smooth as you would like? Well, if you wear lipstick I’m sure you’ve experienced at least one of the above. Let me let you in on a secret, Mac’s Prep + Prime lip is the answer! It’s a color free base worn under lipstick. It adds moisture, improves the appearance of lip products, and smoothes and refines the lips.

The first time I wore it, my lipstick lasted all night and I was at a friend’s party and the beverages were flowing. At the end of the night I still had on my “lips” which is unheard of if I had not prepped and primed! I will never wear lipstick again without applying this product. Try it and tell me what you think!
