#LApproved Giveaway 

What do I approve of???  What am I giving away?  Scroll to the end to find out!

Usually, I receive a PR package at least 3-4 times per month so my makeup inventory is continually growing. As a result, I love getting new items to try so I can add them to my kit and even replace items that I’m running low on. Usually, I will send a wish list to my agent and she will reach out to the brand.  Consequently, most of the time I get exactly what I asked for, sometimes I don’t get anything I asked for and other times I get a little of both and other times, I’m completely blown away by the abundant amount of product I do get.

OCD HOARDER

I don’t want to become a hoarder so my assistants and my close friends will usually reap the benefits and eventually so will my YOUTUBE and BLOG subscribers on my giveaway.  <HINT…SEE BELOW!!>  So the past few weeks, I received a package from MAC Cosmetics, Chanel, Tarte, and Kiss NY PRO. I finally went to IKEA and revamped my storage with these amazing inexpensive bins and a super cheap shelf.

There have been way too many times I bought more mascara wands when there were 3 full packs of mascara wands in a bag somewhere in my closet! I admit I am a hypocrite when I claim to have OCD!

CURRENT FAVES

This post contains affiliate links. This means at no cost to you; I will receive compensation if you purchase something through one of these links.

First of all, my desire was that I wanted to give you a quick rundown of some of my favorite items.  Therefore, they will be called … #LApproved, which is based on my experience and what other pros use.  Click on the links to purchase any of my current faves!

MAC lipliners – the staples for any artist in my professional opinion are Stripdown, Spice, Oak, Whirl, Cork, Chestnut, Cherry, Mahogany, Vino, Currant and Nightmoth.  You can do any lip with just these pencils alone and with your favorite swatch of lip color.

MAC brow pencils – Either I go back and forth or stick with one.  Between MAC and Anastasia Beverly Hills…the only thing that separates them for me is packaging…while ABH beats MAC with a brush and a retractable pencil, I love the pigment in MAC pencils. The staples for MAC are Fling, Lingering, Spiked, Strut and Stud. For ABH, the staples are Soft Brown, Caramel, Chocolate and Ebony

Chanel Powder – I have been dying to get their shade range of Natural Finish Loose Powders. So shades 20, 30 and 40 took residence in my kit and although I should condense them into small shaker bottles, there’s just something about their packaging that exudes luxury.  As for the Les Beiges, I remember in high school wanting to pull out a compact with the Chanel logo to powder my nose but not having a shade to match me.  However, now I use shade No. 70 and it cuts my shine with no flashback!

One other staple is their bronzing makeup base…it didn’t make it into my package this time around but I’ll be patiently waiting for that next shipment <wink, wink>

When it comes to the lips, their new matte shade range is gorgeous. Check out my article feature here on BET.com about my favorite lipsticks!

Tarte Shape Tape – SHAPE TAPE SHAPE TAPE SHAPE TAPE!  Because I can’t get enough, I only have 2, when sending my wish list I asked for ALLLLLLLL the shades.  Instead, I  received a massive box of the Rainforest of the Sea collection and not one single tube of Shape tape <waaaahhhhhhh>.   Literally I “waaaahhhhed” out loud. However what I did receive blew my mind! Whoa whoa, whoa….look at this….

 

As a result, I’m glad they didn’t give me what I asked for or else I would have never tried these liners, these eyeshadows, these foundation sticks, these blushes, these concealers, these bronzers, these highlighters or this lip scrub…all of which I absolutely j’adore.

Kiss NY Pro – I went to the LA Fashion Week opening gala and met with Lola the rep from KissNYPro cosmetics and she gave me a bag filled with some goodies but I’m in love with an amazing eyeshadow palette called Hexa….loved it so much I filmed a video of it on my friend Bre…we called it the Fall Cranberry Crush Halo Eye.

Check my YouTube Channel to see the video in a few weeks! These palettes have great pigment payoff and smooth blendability.
