GRAFTOBIAN HI-DEF GLAMOUR CREME

This is the Graftobian Hi-Def Glamour Creme Neutral Palette #1.
It is formulated to "yield flawless High Definition results whether or not you are in front of a camera."

1. Bombshell
2. Prima Donna
3. Leading Lady
4.Sweet Heart
5. Glamour Girl

I was very excited to try these Glamour Cremes! I thought for sure, for under eye coverage, I'd need the light ones. Wow was I wrong! I actually use #5, Glamour Girl! I like to apply using a small concealer brush from Sedona Lace. Then I gently pat/roll my ring finger under  my eyes so the heat from my finger will melt it into my skin. I set it with Powderflage and I'm ready to go!

**This is foundation, but I've just been using it under my eyes...I'm trying to make it last!!!**


I've been able to use the lighter shades as highlights. These cremes are really....creamy! They blend so nice into the skin and really last a long time. For those of you who won't know, Graftobian is theatrical makeup---but many products can be used daily by regular women, like me! I am still obsessed with their Glamour Creme Blush palette! I've seriously used it every time I've worn makeup since I started using it over a month ago! I really like Graftobian products and I can honestly say I really recommend them!

This palette is on the Graftobian site for $21.99. You can buy each shade individually for $11.99 for .5 ounces! How reasonable is that? There is also a really handy comparison chart link here! You can see what colors are dupes for brands like MAC, Cinema Secrets, Visora, and Black Opal. I think I counted 58 different shades---seriously!!! WOW!!


I hope you are all planning on entering my "Sedona Lace your Halloween Face" contest! Deadline for entries is Halloween night, midnight EST.

GRAFTOBIAN CREAM LIP COLOR CUPS

Graftobian Cream Lip Color Cups
"These cream lip color cups are lipstick formulation and are smooth and rich and full of color. With plenty of slip, these colors glide on with the use of a brush for beautiful coverage and yet have long lasting, professional wearability. You'll not find this level of quality in a drug store, yet look at the VERY affordable price!  $3.50."


Cream lip color cup is the perfect name for these lippies! They are so creamy and glide on super smooth! The pigmentation is really great, but I can't say that this is a long lasting lip color. Here's the two colors I have, "Kiss Me" and "Nude." I love the peek-a-boo lid so you can see the color before you open it. Sorry the picture is a bit blurry!



Now the swatches and lip pics:


I much prefer "Kiss Me" to "Nude" for my fair skin, but I still think Nude is a gorgeous color! Before I swatched these, I thought they were very similar...boy was I wrong! These come in 19 shades and you can find them here!



I'll be announcing another contest soon! Stay tuned and stay NV'ious!

GRAFTOBIAN HI-DEF GLAMOUR CREME BLUSH PALETTE

Here's the first of several Graftobian reviews ladies! If you remember, a little while ago Graftobian was kind enough to send me some products for review. I have been obsessed with this blush palette since I opened the box!


First of all, the colors are beautiful! There's a really nice range in here as well for all skin tones. Each of these colors are also available to purchase separately. They are .18 oz for $9.99. Doesn't sound like a lot? Seriously, a little of this goes a looooooong way. I barely have to put my brush or finger into this to get great color on my cheeks. I've been favoring my travel SS109 for application.

Here are the lovely swatches:


Now let's blend them out....

Seriously? I love all of these!!! Of course, I'd never wear this much at once, but you get the idea. These are just so creamy and pigmented. I do top them off with powder blush similar in color to really make it last a ridiculously long time. **Remember those 11 hour days I talked about in my last post?** I have never had blush last me that long...until now! There is absolutely no need for me to touch up my blush with these.

And now a picture of moi with the blush on, looking very serious might I add. *hahaha*
This is just the creme blush on top of my foundation, no primer. I think I am wearing either peach blush or vienna rose here. When I've used up this palette, I will definitely be buying a few shades. I'm in love!
