All Brushed Up

This weekend was a sad one for everyone who has ever turned on a radio. The death of Whitney Houston will be burned into my mind forever. I was one of millions of little girls that believed that she could become a singer just like Whitney Houston. That is until I learned that I didn't have the skills. 

I thought I would start this post by sharing my favorite Whitney Houston song with you guys. 


This weekend I didn't feel like doing much but I knew I needed to get a new foundation brush. I have been using a Stippling Brush for the last year and recently I have started to hate it. I did a bit of research and decided the perfect brush for me would be the Sephora Collection Pro Foundation Airbrush #56. 
When I paid for my brush I was informed that I was now a member of Sephora's V.I.B. club. Which means I will start receiving more coupons and special deals.  I can't wait to post about the cool new things I get. I think it is a bit funny that I am a V.I.B. because I do not feel that I am even close to a make up pro. 
I started to dislike my Stippling Brush because I always felt like my make up would come off on anything my face touched. I always had to make sure I used my Make Up Forever HD finishing powder to set my foundation. With my new brush I feel like my make up goes on smooth and does not leave me worried about make up stains on my clothing. 


The Outfit 
Sunday morning I over slept and had no idea what I was going to wear to church. I quickly ran into my closet and found something simple to wear. I decided to use my green pants that I have worn several times  and my burgundy blazer (featured here). I quickly flat ironed my hair and added a beret. 
Jean- Zara
Blazer- Zara
Shirt- Forever 21
Hat- Jessica Simpson (found in Mom's closet) 
Shoes- M.I.A.

#09. Primer 
I have been using primer on my eyes for as long as I can remember however I never really thought about primer for my face. Around Christmas a few years ago I tried Make Up For Ever's HD Primer in Neutral but I never bought it. Recently I tried Make Up For Ever's Green primer which minimizes redness (something I don't really have). I decided to by the Make Up For Ever HD Primer in Caramel (which is recommended for women of color).  

Make Up For Ever has several options. Some of you may be freaking out about the price but wait... it gets better! I use much less liquid foundation now because the primer settles in smooth and satin like giving your foundation more surface to spread on.
