Oh my gosh, I’ve fallen in glammy love and I can’t get up! I have a ridiculous skin crush on Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce because these two ladies know how to work a gorgeous glow. Throughout my beauty journey I’ve always wanted to master the look of a sunkissed glow, and I’ve found two facial primers from Manna Cosmetics that I’ve officially tagged as beauty must-haves. After being sent the products, I decided to try them out for my birthday this past Monday, and by the time I saw the finished results… all I can say is my face was BEAT!
I’ll start with Manna Cosmetic’s Camera Ready, which is a makeup base. I’m a stickler for having soft, moisturized skin, so I’m always looking for a primer with a smooth and soft-but-not-oily finish. I’m going to keep it simple by saying: This is it! My skin was super-soft and my liquid foundation went on like a charm. I just live for this primer!
The other object of my beauty affection is an incandescent liquid called Sheer Glow. If you want to add shimmer to your look, this will definitely get the job done. At first I was a little skeptical about using it because I’m a dark-skinned girl and from the looks of the bottle I thought it would be too yellowy-gold got my complexion.
It even looks that way when you pump it out of the bottle, (above pic) but I applied it to my face anyway and realized that it blends well with foundation. I used one pump and feel like that was too much for just my face. A little bit really does go a long way because in natural light you can really see the distribution of golden shimmer that the product has. It’s definitely on my radar as a Spring/Summer 2012 beauty essential.
Both products can be purchased at www.mannacosmetics.com. Camera Ready is $42 and Sheer Glow is $24. I love them both, but if you’re a beauty on a budget, I definitely think the makeup base is well worth trying. It’s totes the bomb.com!

Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it
up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.
