Fauxprah Feeling Sheer & Springy

So I have been a little bit obsessed lately with a couple of things, lipgloss and/or sheer lipstick and varying dewey make up foundations.  Having never worn foundation too much ever in my life I have found that I like dewey and light to medium (pretty much light preferred coverage).  I have a $$$ version and a cost friendly version that I'm trying tonight.  Here they are:



$$$
Because you know Fauxprah an expensive bitch.  Seriously I have tried some foundations out there and there really is nothing like Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua.  So moisturizing.  So light.  So beautifully fragranced.  I kind of love it.  At $47 kind of pricey but I look at it as I do my beloved YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks.  Althought it isn't Maybelline, I'm Fauxprah is totally worth it.

Cost Friendly
Probably my favorite right now is  Rimmel's BB Radiance Creme .  It does everything.  It primes and gives excellent coverage.  I however learned today that you don't put it on just after you apply your moisturizer.  It got a little streaky.  At $6.49 at Target though, you can't really argue.

I'll get back to you...
I will get back to you on the new Maybelline Fit Me stick foundation.  It is what it sounds like, a stick foundation with a powder core.  I only swachted it but it seemed so lovely.  I have to admit though I mainly bought this to keep in my purse because it was so compact and not messy.

Now lipsticks, glosses, stains, etc... I run the gamut on .  Sometimes I like really dark, but with spring rolling around I'm finding myself pulled toward sheer and light.  Also with any of the most cost friendly options, they are all under $10.  And tonight I bought buy one get one 1/2 off at Walgreens so I scored even more.

$$$
I do believe most of the time you can do just as well as a drugstore lipstick with one exception.  YSL's Rouge Volupte Shine Lipsticks.  They are creamy, sheer, beautiful and I haven't seen another formula like it anywhere.  It is one of my holy grails of make up.  $36 well spent dollars.

So Fauxprah went a little nuts at the drugstore tonight.  I bought several things.  First were the Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters in creme brûlée and the other in strawberry shortcake.  They are lovely with just a hint of color and a lot of shine, perfect for spring.  The formula is exactly the name of the lipsticks.  It is like buttah!  I also have the pink truffle one from a previous purchase.  They were $8, but Walgreens had a sale of buy one get one 50% off.  FAUXPRAH SCORED!!!

Creme Brûlée & Strawberry Shortcake

I also have Pink Truffle

Revlon was the big winner of the night however I'm going to save the best for last and move onto Maybelline for now.  Though these are not glosses they are very beautifully pigmented lipsticks.

I'm not a big matte fan however their color, "touch of spice," was too intoxicating.  It is the perfect matte.  My lips, but better.  And if I want to gloss it up, well I just pull out some gloss.   This lipstick was part of their color sensational line, but just a matte finish.  It was $7.29, but you know Fauxprah was rockin' this 50% off after you buy one deal, so just look below for some more lipcolor.

Touch Of Spice

My next two were also part of that line, but provide a glossier finish.  The colors I selected were, "let me pink," and "summer sunset."  Both lovely spring colors and so very creamy.  Apparently they are blended with honey nectar.  Well consider Fauxprah a bee because I be buying a lot ore of these.  These were $7.29 as well.

 Let Me Pink

Summer Sunset

Now my favorite...  Revlon really needs to work on their packaging because their Super Lustrous Lipgloss was my fave. I thought would be just o.k. and I would just love the color.  These were not just o.k., they were fan flipping tastic.  All of those are words.  I got these in  their colors, "snow pink" and "supernatural."  They are sooooooo very sheer and sooooo very glossy.  Absolutely the greatest spring time make up look.  Cannot wait to pair it with my L'Oreal Visible Lift, Color Lift Blush in nude.  I will talk more on that in another blog, because I want to review that entire  beautiful line.  Not only a perfect spring look, but a perfect no make-up look  At $8.29... Fauxprah got a steal.

The two on the top are the colors I got.

So that is all for Ms. Fauxprah for right now but I have a ton of stuff to review so the next week or five will have Fauxprah busy as a bee can be.
