Breakouts!!! Yikes!!

I was having a huge problem with my breakouts. If you have known me for a long time you would I never breakout. But I was going through a stressful time and I still am. My skin was just freaking out and I have really sensitive skin like it freaks out to the wind. I just had to go through all my makeup toss anything that was expired or about to expire. I also did a deep cleaning with all my brushes. I started deep cleaning my face and still nothing was happening until I found out about the Neutrogena Rapid Clear. It is an Acne Eliminating Spot Gel and it is amazing. I never believe the advertising when it says " visibly reduce breakouts in 8hours" but trust me it is true. I bought some and I put just a thin layer over my breakouts and in 8 hours they reduces in size, redness, and swelling. Because it has salicylic acid in it, it destroyed my breakouts but it really dried out my face so I had to use extra moisturizer.
If you have really bad acne this is maximum strength so you need to put a thin layer on at least 3 times a day and in a week you should see a huge change. Since my breakouts were so minor I used it once a day and in 3 days all my breakouts were gone. Now you have to clean you face along with it I suggest something higher brand then drugstore because they tend to have better results. But if you do not want to spend a lot of money I suggest Neutrogena. This particular product cost me about 9$ because it is a clinical product it cost more then your average face wash. It is so worth it!

(Neutrogena did not pay me to do this. I advertise this and everything I said was strictly my opinion.)

Flawless foundation

To get the perfect dewy foundation you are going to need a few things. Definetly get your correct skin color foundation. Also get a foundation that helps correct not damage. For example if you have oily type skin get foundation that is oil control and oil free. If you have dry skin you would want foundation that hydrates your skin not dries it out. You definetly want work with your skin type.
To get that perfect dewy fresh look you need to prime your face. I like to use the Too Face Face Primer. Next you want to hydrate your face meaning to use some kind of face cream. I use the simple sensitive skin day face lotion. Next apply your foundatio and then set it with your favorite setting powder. I use Bare mlMinerals Touch Up Veil. If concealor is needed apply it when necessary.
And now you are looking fresh all day. Do not forget to wash your face at the end of the day!

Urban decay sale!

On Sephora Urban Decay eyeshadow is on sale for 6$. They are usually for sale about 18$ a piece. I could not pass up this oppurtunity. I bought three and it is Woodstock, which is a really hot pink with a bit of a bergundy touch to it. Next is Psychedelic Sister, which is a pure purple. Unfortunately it is sold out. Finally I got Haight which is a blue teal color mixed with a bit of green color.

I am currently wearing Haight and I tested all of them. I have to say they are a fantastic product. They are highly pigmented and they last all day with primer. They also have a cute updated packaging :).

Since I am Beauty Insider I got 3 free samples. I chose the Porefessional Pore Minimizer. Velvet mineral liquid foundation. Fresh umbrian clay mattifying serum. I have not tried these but I will and review them and tell you guys if there worth buying!
