Get the Look: Anna Kendrick at the Cake Premiere‏

Hey everyone!

Hitting the red carpet for the hotly anticipated premiere of "Cake" at this year's Toronto Film Festival, Anna Kendrick's look was created with one theme in mind -- dreamy daytime. "Since this was a daytime premiere, we wanted to keep Anna's look a bit more demure than what you'd expect to see on a nighttime red carpet", says Kendrick's makeup artist Toby Fleischman.

"Going for a soft, pretty look, I smudged Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Dogon under the bottom lashes and into the corner of her lash line. The irridescent taupe eyeshadow blends beautifully into the gray, creating a very subtle smoke, perfect for daytime", says Fleischman. She followed it up with a few coats of Lancome's Grandiose Mascara, one of her favorites, to get "just the right amount of drama".

"We kept the rest of the face very subtle, using Pur Minerals Cream Blush in Coy, which melts right into the cheeks for a nude, flushed look. And last, but certainly not least, we finished the look off with Burt's Bees new Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands ($9, www.burtsbees.com), which gives the absolute perfect neutral lip. The color is great on a variety of skin tones, and the formula is super moisturizing. Voila!"
 
I have been testing out these two products for a couple weeks now, and I now know why they used them in this look! The cream blush applies evenly to the skin, and gives you a subtle, natural glow. And, the Burt's Bees Lip Crayon completes the neutral look with a soft lip!

Pur Minerals CC Cream Review

Hey everyone!

I like to let my skin breath during the summer months, so I tend to never wear foundation in the summer. However, I would still love my skin to look more flawless during my outings. So when PUR Minerals sent me their CC Cream in the shade Medium, I was willing to give it a go! This CC Cream promises a good coverage with a matte finish. I found that this product did have a medium to full coverage, depending on how much product you used, and the finish was basically matte. I would still recommend that us girls with more oily skin apply some powder to set it. PUR Minerals CC Cream lasted most of the day on my skin, and did not seem to irritate it. Plus, the convenient pump style packaging and SPF 40 make this great for summer travel!

Here is what PUR Minerals has to say:

Your multitasking moisturizer, brightener, primer, concealer and SPF foundation! More than just another beauty balm, CC Cream with SPF 40 protects, corrects and perfects the skin’s appearance with clinically advanced plant-based ingredients, like DERMAPUR® HP—a clarifying corrective from meadowsweet—and CLARISKIN II®—a brightening powerhouse from wheat germ. Ideal for all skin types and concerns, this silicone-free formula works to erase brown spots, blemishes and fine lines from sight while balancing uneven skin tone.

How to Apply:

Smooth a small amount onto clean skin until evenly blended. CC Cream may be worn under 4-in-1 products for fuller coverage.

This product retails for $38.00 and can be purchased at www.purminerals.com!

Will you be trying this CC Cream for the summer?

XoXo,
Whitney
