When I am not in a hurry, I truly enjoy doing my makeup. It is very therapeutic for me, sparks creativity and curiosity on how looks will play out, how lip combos will look and how the final look will come together.
There are some products I am truly beginning to love and enjoy more. Guess what, most of these products have been sitting on my beauty stash for a long time, and I am now just getting to use them.


exploring different makeup products.
The Smashbox Photo Finish hydrating primer is one of them. I started using this during my recent trip to London and omg, my skin? especially as a dry skin girl, my skin was glowing and hydrated underneath my makeup. It kept my makeup fresh looking all day.
Next is the Versed serum concealer. It is super light weight. If you are looking for full coverage, this is not the concealer for you. However, if you want something to keep your eyes open, awake and fresh, this is it. It is very subtle with sufficient coverage for an everyday look.
I have two shades, to conceal and brighten my under eyes. [USE MY CODE “JOYEBENSPIFF” TO SHOP ANY OF YOUR VERSED MAKEUP FAVORITES]
Doing something fun with my lip combo. I used the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink and topped it off with the Ysl lip plumping gloss for an extra shine. The Ysl hyper bronze has been on major rotation recently, and I am not mad at all. My theory has always been to finish one product before diving into another one; but lately, I have been itching to open up newer ones to explore, and it has been fun.
When I receive these products in PR, I try them for the first time for my opinion, but there is a difference when you consistently use them daily.
Not big on eye looks, but I pulled this Lancome Eye and Face Palette for this look.
