It started off so innocently, as it always does. I was working the booth for BeautyARMY and the sweetest lady came over chatting about her products, Clever Girl Innovations and her booth-mates: UNII Cosmetics and the UNII Palette . Being a loyal Stila user I am familiar with the palette storage of makeup but not until I deepened my involvement in the Beauty Industry did I consider depotting my products. Actually I hadn't given it thought until that fateful day at iMATS. Totally intrigued, I purchased one in Pear and promptly got to work. UNII is pronounced like UNI que. You-knee.  Not ooh-knee.

  More than just a gloss, this lip treatment is infused with 24kt gold.  With lip-plumping collagen and Vitamin E, this luxurious gloss has been formulated to enhance cell renewal, reduce lip wrinkles and increase volume without the burn of traditional lip 'plumping' products.

This is one of those items sampled in Beauty Army Kits.  Only not my Kit.  Unfortunately, it never popped up in my selection window.  No bother I picked one up at iMATS!  Real diamonds?  Yes!  And I got the real scoop: These aren't the sparky diamonds that were headed for Tiffany & Co. these are the pieces that were cut off of those diamonds! And why is this powder infused with these sparkly wonders? Because they bend light, disguising pores and wrinkles.  And I don't mind my pores pulling a disappearing act!  Watch out for my review.. It will be posted shortly! Did you have a chance to select this in your Beauty Army Kit? xoxo •Nancy-Lee

I use CoverFX primer, concealer, foundation and powder so who better to ask which brushes I should use then the artists at CoverFX themselves.  On a super tight budget I couldn't spring for the Branded brushes so I asked for a less expensive alternative and was escorted to a bay of bdellium tools where I purchased #948 for Foundation and #775 Duet Fiber Shader for applying my concealer.

  These were a great deal, regularly $22 a piece, I scored these waterproof liners for $12.50 each while attending iMATS Los Angeles.  I can't wait to break these open and enjoy the bright, slightly shimmery stay the day shades. How about you, Gorgeous? Have you tried these Stila liners? Which shades? xoxo •Nancy-Lee
