When it comes to makeup i normally have my typical go to brands and products. I also have a horrible skin problem and CANNOT wear anything with oil in it. I kept running out my of custom made foundation from my dermatologist and decided to give Benefit's oxygen wow foundation a shot. I wrote about it as an alternative to custom foundation and 


all I can say is WOW! They are not joking! Despite it having no oil, it keeps your skin fresh and moisturized all day and gives your skin a fantastic glow!!! You don't even need more than a pump!! Next I'm going for their primer!
Then out of the corner of my eye I saw this spray to control shine from Urban Decay so I picked it up. I had a sample of their other makeup setting spray (that is also oil free BTW) and I am so glad I did! It helps control my shine and boy so I have a lot of shine to control! Having over active oil glands is a big pain but more and more companies are seeing how  bad oil is for young skin. I promise to continue my Oily Skin no more series ASAP! This is a huge problem that we can all avoid!
While I was in sephora I decided to take my normal 50 laps around to look at all the beauty items that I don't need and found the most beautiful thing to ever cross my . A MARC BY MARC JACOBS BEAUTY section! SAY WHATTTTTTT! Yes, ladies, Marc By Marc Jacobs Beauty. 



His line is still fairly new, but is everything I would ever want in make up! His lipstick is a gel that is super long lasting and does not come off, even when I give my boyfriend a kiss (oh lala). The color happy ending is the one I purchased and it is the most perfect pink I have ever laid my eyes on! But it doesn't stop there! He has nail polish, eye shadow, blush, foundation and of course eyeliner. I purchased the blue shade and it is absolutely perfect! It is even the color they are showing for spring and summer so what more could I want?! ...maybe the rest of everything that fabulous man makes...but beggars can't be choosers ;)

And everyone should go listen to CASH-CASH 's new song Take Me Home! They're Jersey natives too ;p

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

PS! Stay tuned for more information on my Spring / Summer line as well as my collab with Blue Bird Home Decore in Troy, New York!
