There is nothing in this world that seems to make me more giddy than makeup. That’s why I was like a kid in the candy store at The Makeup Show. I know I haven’t talked about the show YET, but I bought something that isn’t in stores yet but is so PHENOMENAL I want everyone to own it.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams are about to be the most used thing in my makeup kit, especially for summer and I think you will love them as much as I do. These are waterproof colors for eyes, lips and cheeks and they LAST, LAST, LAST, LAST.
Don’t believe me? I decided to test them out, I own colors 1 – Anthracite, 7 – Fuchsia and 15 – Taupe. They all have a gorgeous shimmer to them that is subtle and not over the top but they are loaded with pigment. A little goes a long way which means these jars will last you a long time and will be totally worth the $22 price tag. I decided to try out taupe on my eyelids without any primer or foundation on the lids. I wanted to see how long it would wear and I was going to the gym on a heavy cardio day so I knew I could really put it to the test. Through my work day and then a heavy sweating session my eye makeup did not budge. It didn’t smudge, fade or run a single bit. I was sold. A product that looks amazing and seriously lasts and will last through a humid day?! I’m all over it.
I dabbed the fuchsia on my lips and cheeks and had the most radiant flush the entire day and I’ve used the smoky black/grey as a liner and it was insane how long it lasted. I got to pick these up at the Makeup Show at a discount and I’m kicking myself for not buying every single color they have. The green, blue and teal and insanely gorgeous.
If you are a Sephora Beauty Insider you can order them now (link above) and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. This is one of the most phenomenal beauty products I’ve gotten my hands on in a long time and I’ll definitely be wearing them all summer long. This was just too good to not share now, especially if you can order them online before they hit the stores in June. You will definitely see these in my Beauty Challenge photos over and over again because I am in serious love with these. They are BRILLIANT!
Have a wonderful weekend!

My eyelids are like an oil slick so if you say these will really work I’m down for trying them. I’m a Sephora Beauty Insider so I might try to grab a couple this weekend. I love eye shadow but can never find anything that really holds onto my lids even with primer. Thanks for the rec!
