Revlon Amazingness!

Hello friends!
I have been so so so impressed with Revlon's makeup line recently. Everything i've tried has been amazing! So, in this post I will be sharing my absolute favorite Revlon products so far.

First thing I want to write about is the ColorStay liquid foundation. I love this foundation! I was using MAC's Pro Longwear foundation & it worked well BUT if I can get the same results for a significantly cheaper price I will choose the cheaper product! It costs around $9. This foundation lasts all day, its lightweight and they have so many colors that you will have no problem finding the right shade for you. Its buildable. It starts as medium coverage, for heavier coverage you can apply more layers til your hearts content.

Second, Colorstay liquid eyeliner pen. It costs about $4. I don't need to set it, it doesn't transfer to my lid. The felt tip does not get bent & worn out easily. It definitely stays all day but is easy to remove.

Third, Colorstay mechanical eyeliner. It costs about $4. I bought the black eyeliner & there is soooo much product. It doesn't smear, goes on smoothly, and lasts throughout the day.

I recommend checking out your local drugstore & picking up these products. They're affordable & great quality. Enjoy!

If you have tried some Revlon products & now can't live without them please let me know below! :)

Have a great day!

DIY Pineapple face mask!

Dry, dull, patchy skin? This mask will leave your skin smooth, refreshed & glowing! It'll smell pretty delicious too!

So why pineapple? Pineapple not only tastes great in a fruity cocktail, it also keeps your skin beautiful! Pineapple contains enzymes that make skin elastic, improve skin hydration, and remove damaged and dead cells. Thus, it helps us achieve a clear and glowing complexion. The enzymes in pineapples also fight free-radical damage and can reduce age spots and fine lines.

Ingredients:
2/3 c. Pineapple ch drained (Canned is fine)
1/4 c. Olive oil (or you can use almond, advocado or soy oil)
1/4 c. Fresh parsley, chopped & a few sprigs of mint, chopped.

Instructions:
Mix pineapple & oil in a blender until almost smooth. Add parsley and mint; pulse, making sure NOT to liquify the ingredients. Your DONE!

Application:
Apply to your face using your fingers, or a face brush if you prefer. Let it sit for 15 then rinse to remove.

Storage:
You can store the leftover mask in a airtight jar & refrigerate. It should last 4-5 days.

Hope you try this out. Let me know how you like it. ENJOY!

Love,

Ingredients For Perfect Pin Up Makeup

Makeup & hair by Hannah Lebron - Photo by Sasha Greve Photography

 Hello ladies!
I've done quite a few pin up photoshoots in the past year & realized how much ladies love that look. Its very classic & very simple. You also don't need much for a great pin up look; winged eyeliner, mascara, red lips and defined brows.
Here's some of my favorite products to create this gorgeous look.

Face:
I use concealer for any blemishes or dark circles around the eyes. My favorite concealer is Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer. I then apply medium to heavy coverage foundation for a flawless look. I use Revlon ColorStay foundation which is about $8 at your local drugstore. I set it all with MAC Studio Fix pressed powder.

Eyes:

I love winged eyeliner! My favorite eyeliner to acheive the PERFECT winged eyeliner is MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack. It goes on smooth and dries matte. Pin up models always have very defined brows. I like to use Smashbox Brow Tech Trio. It comes with 2 powders, one lighter than the other for the inner corner of your brow to blend & wax to keep all your brow hairs in place. The models eyeshadow is usually very light and neutral. I like to use a light, skin tone color all over the lip and lightly define the crease with a slightly darker color. Foxy & Tease from the Naked2 pallete are beautifull examples of colors I would use.

Lips:

Of course, for lips you would use a gorgeous red color. I love love love Russian Red by MAC. Its a blue red and looks amazing on almost ANY skin tone!

Hope this helped you ladies out with choosing what type of products and how you would even go about doing this look. Have fun!

Love,

Hannah
