Earlier this week I had the chance to attend the Almay Playfully Pretty Tea Party.  It was a lovely event on a lovely sunny day, perfect Spring day to have a tea party!

Beautiful cups and plates ALL THE WAY from England!
One main theme about this event is Mother's Day.  Almay has partnered up with their current spokemodel Kate Hudson, as well as her mother, Goldie Hawn.  The award winning actresses mother-and-daughter-duo is the face of this special campaign feature their intense i-color line.  They have a mother-daughter makeup and makeover station to celebrate this special occasion.

Maybelline Baby Lips
My lips are quite chapped (like my hands and feet are dry), which I never understand because I have oily skin and I thought maybe it'll help with the moisture in my skin.  But instead I just get shiny face and desert looking lips if they're both not conditioned.  Having this problem means that I constantly try new things to find the best lip care product on the market.

Maybelline Baby Lips* has a "Lip renew formula and 8-hr hydration for visibly renewed lips in 4 weeks", according to Maybelline.  It has SPF 20 and it's said to be a "clinical care for baby-soft lips".

This product has been out since last year.  It's probably quite popular because they come up with new shades every now and then.  Here's the three I have here:

Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection
There was so much buzz about the Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection on the blogosphere/YouTubeverse.  I know I probably have too many eye shadow palettes, but I just couldn't pass this up because it looks absolutely amazing in the store, plus I have always wanted to try Too Faced's eye shadow palettes!

 According to Too Faced, 
"Our new collection of eye shadows creates looks for the bedroom and beyond. Along with four Boudoir-worthy colors, we added five new shades just for this palette for a total of nine soft and sexy colors."

La Roche-Posay is well known with their skincare products (so much buzz about their Effaclar range for oily and acne prone skin).  And now they are expanding their range a venture into makeup, starting with the new Hydreane BB Creme*.
La Roche-Posay Hydreane BB Creme
La Roche-Posay states that there are 4 missions they want to accomplish in this 1 skincare-and-makeup-hybrid product:
  • Hydrates for 12 hours
  • Soothes sensitive skin
  • Strengthens skin against free radicals
  • Unifies complexion and Illuminates skin tone without ever caking
    •
But how does it work out for me?
The Before and After (from left to right)
I would agree that this works great for hydrating and soothing my skin because my skin feels comfortable during the course of the day (no tighten or cakey feeling).  I have not noticed if it had helped my skin fight against the free radicals or not.  I do think that it evens out my skin tone and provide a subtle glow to my skin.  You can see that it evens out my redness a little, as well as blurring out some pores.  It does add a slight pinkish cast to my face which is okay when I am putting something else on top.
