Morning After cream blush swatch by Three Custom Color makeup

Three Custom Color’s new cream blush in Morning After is a bright, poppy pink with no shimmer. Typical of Three Custom, this blush is perfect for just about any skin tone. While it looks super bright in the compact, it applies sheer and the color can be layered on for gals with a deeper skintone.

Since my skin is fair, I just apply a small fingertip dab on each cheek and then blend it out. The result is a flush as if I just went jogging!

Unlike many cream blushes, Morning After did not clump with my mineral makeup, didn’t settle into my pores, and didn’t cause breakouts.

Three Custom certainly has another winner here in my opinion. And for a quick monochromatic makeup look, try using Morning After on your cheeks and lips!

Morning After cream blush is $22.50 at ThreeCustom.com.

Product Review: Murad Firm and Tone Serum

Posted: 02 Nov 2009 04:02 AM PST

Another beauty review brought to you by Bionic Bronnie…

Murad’s Firm and Tone Serum is a cellulite-reducing gel that shows almost-instant results during my testing. I apply it and then use two rubber massage brushes to vigorously work the serum into my hips, abdomen, legs and upper arms.

I have relatively minor cellulite issues, but this gel goes to work immediately! It assists in draining stored fluids and reducing dimpling with Cat’s Claw and Caffeine; increases circulation via Cayenne Pepper; and Horse Chestnut Tree extract and Tiger’s Herb work at restoring firm, smooth skin.
I typically apply a generous amount and really work it in as described above. As with all cellulite treatments, vigorous rubbing helps break up the stored fluids and fats thus assisting the serum in its work. I also use this serum on my neck and bust- it helps firm skin up quickly.

Murad Firm and Tone Serum costs $77 for a 6.75 oz tube at Sephora online, or stores.
