Double duty beauty products.

We often get over loaded with beauty products that do certain things for us.  Some may highlight, some may lift. The list can go on with all the products out there that perform different effects. But, what about those special products that do double duty for us? These are a few double duty products I would like to share with you today. Yay for sharing :).

Benefit Ooh la lift

Sephora.com says:
A dream cream for the under-eye area.
Benefit Ooh La Lift is a wonder eye cream that works like an instant eye lift.With light-reflecting pigments and raspberry extract, this magic pink balm gives eyes an instant brightening boost.

What Sephora.com doesn't tell you is this can be used as a highlighter that gives just the right amount of highlight on your forehead, cupids bow,chin and brow bone. It goes on smoothly and blends flawlessly giving you a nice soft highlight with or without foundation. This is a great double duty product that I use often. It retails for 22.00 on Sephora.com, but as a eye brightener/highlighter that's only 11.00 versus buying two separate products!



Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer Potion

Sephora.com says:
A sheer nude eye shadow primer.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion is an ultra-sheer, totally nude base that glides onto the skin. The original, award-winning formula disappears instantly and is the ultimate eye prep for smoother, more vibrant shadow and all-day wear with absolutely no creasing.
The squeeze tube version of this product is exclusive to Sephora for a limited time.

What they aren't telling you is that the primer potion can be used to cover and decress the visablity of fine line under your eye if applied under your eye and allowed to set into the skin near the inner eye area. This little bad boy retails for 12.00 on Sephora.com. So this is an amazing double duty product that is a must in any makeup collection.

MAKEUPFOREVER Rouge Artist Intense in "matte flesh"

Sephora.com says:
A highly pigmented, long-lasting lipstick that delivers rich color in one stroke. Formulated with 50% more pigment than the traditional lipstick, Rouge Artist Intense gives an immediate true-to-color result. A blend of three natural waxes, the creamy texture glides on effortlessly for a long-lasting hold. The extensive color and texture range provides unlimited creativity.

What they aren't telling you is that this lipstick is great for a base color on your lips. Instead of using a foundation or concealer to blank out color from your natural lip color, which can dry out your lips drawing more attention to fine lines on your lips. This product contains a formula of three waxes that leave you lips smooth and moist with a clean slate to make any other lip color you apply over just POP! I have been using this for about a year now and I just love what it does for my lips, since my lips are naturally dark and wash out any color that is applied :/. This product retails for 20.00 on Sephora.com. So not only are you getting a great nude shade but also a shade to help your other lip sticks pop with color.


I do own and use all the products I have mentioned above and recommend them highly.
This is a series I plan on doing more of in the future let me know if you would like more posts like this.
