Paula Dorf lipstick and blush review

Paula Dorf is another company I enjoy working with as they always send me quality products.

"Paula Dorf Cosmetics has received a variety of accolades over the years including multiple "Allure Best of Beauty" awards, Self Magazine's Healthy Beauty Award and the Fashion Group International "Rising Star Entrepreneur of the Year" award in 2006. "

Today's review is on their Every Lip Needs A Touch Of Legend Lipstick and their Put A Pop Of Passion In Your Day Cheek Color.

The cheek color is a soft pinky, mauve and is very smooth.  It goes on mostly matte with just a touch of sparkle.  It is quite buildable and IMO great for many skin tones, as it doesn't lean too much towards warm or cool tones.  This is just a quick swipe over the compact and it picked up a nice amount of color.

The lip color on the other hand is BOOOOOLD baby!! It is a bright red color and has some blue undertones in it as I think it looks nice on me for a night out (or in my vanity room below haha).

I love color

Here are both of them on me at the same time.

double trouble

I think it is a nice pairing as if you are going with soft eye makeup, you can rock a bold lip and vice versa.

Both of these products are long wearing and the blush stayed on me all day.

Paula Dorf's 2 +1 Brows Review

Samples

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did! Despite the fact that we are moving and I got some packing in.  I am super excited to be moving but packing is the worst, I mean even unpacking is better than packing! :)

Today I want to share with you a new product I was sent to review.  We all know what a struggle it is sometimes to do our eyebrows.  But I cannot stress enough how important it is.  Your eyes are the window to your soul!  So having something framing them will only make them look better. HERE is a post I did a while back on how to do your eyebrows.  It was one of my first posts so sorry for the picture quality! Yikes!

Paula Dorf offers several options in eyebrow "dip" or powder.  In a convenient cute little package that offers two shades and the wax for application.  Since my hair is so light and my brows are so dark the struggle is real ladies!  So Paula Dorf sent me two options.

Blonde Trio

Neutral Trio

Angled Brow Brush

I currently am using my taupe eyebrow pencil.  I haven't used a brow powder simply because I just couldn't find the right colors.

Here is what the blonde and neutral colors look like swatched.

Blonde 

Neutral

The colors only slightly vary.  My tip to doing eyebrows with different colored powder is to always use the darker shade where your arch is.  Your hair is naturally darker in that area so you want to reflect that when you are using powders.

I decided to do one color on each eye to compare. :)

Here is before and after with the neutral.

Before (au natural)

After

I liked the brush because it was the exact same size as my actual eyebrow so I didn't even need a stencil, I just followed my natural arch.

Comparison

Wow...what an unflattering angle :) This was done at 9pm last night in my defense :)

And now here is the blonde before and after.

Before

After

I was actually impressed that the blonde was not as light as I expected it to be and seemed to look natural enough with my dark eyebrows.

Here is how they both look from a far.

Wow, I look angry......

My left eyebrow lifts when it sees a camera......

It's still up there....

Do you have super dark or red hair??  There are options for ya'll, too :)  Click HERE to see all the products and tips that Paula Dorf has to offer.  Overall, I think I like the neutral better.  Especially since I often dye my hair in the fall.  If someone were to get really up close and personal with me, the blonde might be a bit too different in the shading.

I like that the compact is small enough to bring with you if touch ups are needed, but this stuff was not easily removed so I don't see you needing to.  Plus there is so much of the product in the compact this will last you quite some time.  The price is a very good price for the amount of product you get.

Place your order and use the code BROWBRUSH to get a free angled eyebrow brush on me :)

Have you used Paula Dorf before?

What is your experience with it?

I'd love to know in the comments below, plus your tips for doing your brows!

Have a great day!! xo
