All about BBCream!!!!

Hi guys! 

The biggest question!  What is BBCream? BB stands for Beauty Balm. Or Blemish Balm. Most are All-in-1 
Tinted moisturizer
Sunscreen 
Primer
Foundation

It can even be anti-aging. It can be worn alone or under a foundation as a primer. Depending on the consistency. I have both highend BBcream and lowend. I find the the more inexpensive bbcream a are lighter in texture and has a sheere coverage. The more expensive ones tend to be thicker or heavier. 

Below are pics of the 5 bb creams I own and swatches in the same order. 
Left to right:
AJCrimson
IMAN
Tarte
Maybelline
Smashbox





Let me know what your favorite BBcream is. Until next week!!!

Review on the Lorac Glogetter palette!

Hi all,
So about two weeks ago I told you guys I got this Lorac palette from ULTA. It's was $20 and well worth every penny. I used some of the colors without a base and some with a base. I found when I used a base it kept the shadow on longer. I use all the colors as you maybe able to see in the photo. If you follow me on Instagram and keek you already know. For those readers that don't follow me. What are you waiting for? @makeupbyladwina

I used the brown color all the way on the left for my crease color. It's the perfect redish brow color that blends with any eyeshadow color.
Now I need to get my life together and get the Lorac Pro palette. I'm so loving the pigment of there eyeshadow.
I hope you guys Enjoyed this mini review. If you get a chance. Go get some shadows by Lorac. You'll love them!!!

Talk to you guys soon!!

First thoughts on the Lorac Glogetter palette!

Hi all!! Long time no talk. I won't take up too much time I just wanted to share my first thoughts with you guys.

This palette caught my eye inUlta yesterday because the colors alone are fantastic. They floored me and I just had to have it. I wasn't sure about the quality but I figured the price was rite at $20 for 10 "highend" eyeshadows.

If you follow me on Instagram and Keek then you already know but for those of you you don't. Ill share the love with you.

I first started with the crease color and I used the brown matte shadow to help transition and blend other eyeshadows. Usually (mostly always) I use an eyeshadow from M.A.C. This is the first time I used all colors from one single palette. Usually the colors are too dark or too ashy! This one is perfect. Then on the lid I used the very pretty bluish/purple shadow and as. Highlight I used the shimmery shadow at the bottom rite of the palette. Know I'm waiting to see how it last. Ill keep you guys posted. With more look from this palette. I'm determined to use all the colors.

Below are photos of the look I did today. Enjoy!!
