Makeup Of The Day

Here is what I am wearing on my face today!

I really don’t think that this Loreal La Palette gets enough love and attention in the beauty community.  I really enjoy using this palette and always get compliments on my eye look whenever I use it.  The Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is another one that I absolutely love.  It always makes my skin look so flawless without looking heavy or cakey.  I use both this crown brush and the real techniques one every day.

Make Up Dupes…?!

Have you ever been using a drugstore product and thought to yourself, “Hmmm this reminds me of…(insert high end product name)” or vice versa with a high end product?

Did you know that many of the high end companies we love are actually owned by one of the well known drugstore cosmetic companies?

YSL, Lancome, Georgio Armani, and Urdan Decay all have the same parent company L’Oreal.

Even Essie and EM by Michelle Phan and many more are owned by L’Oreal.  I love L’Oreal, it is one of my favorite drugstore make up brands.  You may remember that I also love Maybelline, it is also owned by L’Oreal.

One good thing about L’Oreal is its standards on animal testing:

“L’Oréal no longer tests on animals any of its products or any of its ingredients, anywhere in the world. Nor does L’Oréal delegate this task to others. The rare exception allowed is if regulatory authorities demand it for safety or regulatory purposes.”

Did you know that L’Oreal owned all of these other companies?  Are any of your favorite brands owned by L’Oreal?

Evelyn Iona Cosmetics; Cream Blush (Ash)
