Eye Makeup Fallout Protector

 

Do you have to apply your eye shadow first and then your foundation because of the fallout due to your eye shadow? Well ladies I’m here to tell you about an amazing invention from Nu-4u and it’s the Eye Makeup Fallout Protector. This protector is like no other and helps make your eye shadow application a breeze, without all the unnecessary touch up's. 

 

First off how adorable is this protector? I love the butterfly and the details on the stainless steel handle. The kit comes with 1 stainless still handle (your choice of decorative or plane handle) one normal sized shield and a bonus large shield that can be used with or without the handle.   

The thing I like the best about this protector is the soft silicone shield, it doesn't irritate my extremely sensitive eyes. I have done some internet searching for something similar to this protector but nothing compares to this eye shadow protector. I mean would you actually apply a self adhesive  shield under your lower lash line? In my option that's a receipt for disaster the skin under your eye is so thin, delicate and sensitive and you know removing something like that can't feel good. Don't you think a self adhesive shield would defeat its purpose? Because you know its bound to take off any foundation under your eye that you've already applied, so your going to have to do touch ups regardless.

I also seen some crazy looking mascara guards that are made of hard plastic and look like they would be hard to use. I was looking at some of the sample photos on there website and by just looking at the photos it looks painful and uncomfortable to use. 

What would you rather put up to your lower lash line Soft Silicone, Hard Plastic or a Self Adhesive  Shield? 

Hands down the Eye makeup Fallout Protector from Nu-4u has these other protectors beat hands down. For starters this protector comes with a life time guarantee and only costs $19.95. Are you going to get a lifetime guarantee from a hard plastic guard that cost's $10.00? I didn't think so. Disposable guards are going to run out and before you know it you've done went through 4 boxes, with that much money invested in disposable guards you could have purchased 2 fallout protectors from Nu-4u. 

 

This shield fits perfectly under my bottom lash line and isn't bulky or hard to use at all. I'm not very coordinated and my first though was this is going to be hard for me to use but I was really surprised by how easy it was to use. If your anything like me and have a hard time lining your bottom lash line with liner then you will LOVE this protector just for that reason alone. I normally just line my water line because I have a hard time with my lash line, when playing around with this protector I though I would hold it close to my lash line and use it as a stencil and I had a perfect line around my lash area.

This protector can be used for:
Eye Shadow Fallout
Eye Liner
Mascara
Glitter 
Protect your eyes from airbrush makeup
Lip Liner Stencil

Clean up is a breeze and this is how I clean my protector:
Step 1: Pop the shield out of the handle 
Step 2: Take to the sink and run like warm water all over
Step 3: Apply anti bacterial cleanser
Step 4: Suds up your shield
Step 5: Rinse
Step 6: Dry
Step 7: Pop it back on your handle 
and its ready for your next use.

You could also use a cotton ball and cleanser or makeup remover wipe. 

I hope this review has been informative and helpful and who know maybe I've introduced you to something you didn't know was available. If you would like to purchase this amazing Eye Makeup Fallout Protector please click on the Nu-4u logo below that will take you directly to their website.

Bare Minerals Get Started Kit


                                                                                                 Bare Minerals Get Started Kit

Overview:
   My mom and I purchased our bare minerals kit through their website after watching their T.V special one night. At the time of purchase we was not aware that they send and bill you ever 30 days for more products, so needless to say we was both surprised when the 30 day mark came and she was billed for 2 more sets of makeup. I purchased both mine and her refill kit because it was going to take a while for her account to be credited back after a return. I gave one kit away at an event that I held and I still have another kit, that I might possible do a give a way with through my blog so keep your eyes peeled for that possibility. My suggestion would be that if you have a local Ulta or makeup store that carries the bare minerals line and your interested in trying bare minerals, to purchase it locally and not online. But if you do order online make sure that you cancel your subscription if you will not need these products ever 30 days. Our get started kit included a full size foundation, small mineral vale, small warmth all-over face color, flawless face brush, maximum coverage concealer brush and a few bonus samples. The foundation was in the click lock and go sifter.

Review:
   Let me start out by telling you a little bit about my skin type. I have very sensitive and dry skin I am very blessed to not have acne prone skin, I may get a break out during that time of month other then that my face is very clear and shine free.

   The first few times I wore these products I didn’t notice any facial irritation but the more I continued to wear these products I noticed when I would remove my makeup my face would get really red and tight feeling. I would have to put on a ice face mask for about 30 minutes to take away the swelling and irritation. I’m not sure if I was having an allergic reaction to the products or what because I was not changing up my facial cleansing products and the next day after wearing this makeup I would have blemishes. I also noticed my face would get really shinny through my T zone and that has never happened with any other products I have used before. So needless to say I have stopped using bare minerals face products, in the future I may give these products another try and see if my face reacts any differently.

   I ordered their foundation kit in the color medium, for me I felt like the color was a good match but when I would add the warmth all over face color I would start to look way to dark and slightly orange. I have seen the next color down from the kit that I purchased and it looks to me like the warmth all over face color is the same for each kit, to me the color seems so dark. I only use a tiny bit of the warmth and it still seems to makes my face way to dark. I felt like the foundation coverage was light to medium, the one thing that I really did like about the foundation was you didn’t fell like you had on makeup at all. So with that being said I think this foundation would be absolutely perfect for the summer time. The mineral vale I liked as well because you could apply as much of this throughout the day as you would like without getting added color, I used this product throughout the day when I felt like my T zone was getting shinny. I will give their flawless face brush and maximum coverage concealer brush 3 stars, they are very soft and have been through several cleanings and have yet to shed.

   If it wasn’t for the facial irritation I think I could really like these products and would leave out the warmth all over face color, for me its just not worth the facial discomfort to use these products. Since using bare minerals I asked my mom what she thought about the products and she said they wasn’t what she though they would be, and that she doesn’t use the warmth because its way to dark for her as well.

FYI:
   I have used their flawless definition mascara (came as a bonus in my get started kit) and I absolutely love it, my lashes are so long and full.
