Hello! My name is Shannon and I'm a full fledged makeup addict. I have been wearing makeup since my mom gave me the green light allowing me to use eye shadow, blush, lip gloss, & foundation at the age of 13. I have always loved trying new looks with my cosmetics; I think it's so cool to be able to create different styles with eye shadow and different shades of lipstick. One thing I struggled with as I turned into a cosmetics "junkie" was certain products were not very skin friendly.
This is where Pure Addiction cosmetics comes in!!!!! Allina Macko, a brilliant Chicago based makeup artist, started her own line of makeup in 2011 after her disappointment with products in the industry. Allina's focus was developing a line of organic products free of fillers and harmful ingredients. Pure Addiction works with the skin and helps to improve it while blending into the skin flawlessly. I have been using Pure Addiction loose powder, blush, & eye shadows since 2011. Allina sent me the new colors for spring 2013 including a gorgeous shade of blush, eye shadows, my own custom bronzer, & loose powder. I wanted to test these colors for awhile and create different looks before starting work on this post. I am, once again, blown away by Pure Addiction's FABULOUS makeup!!!! The loose powder, which is vital to any makeup look, blends into my skin perfectly giving me a polished look and not that dreaded "caked" on appearance. That's the genius of this makeup- it blends SO darn well into skin!!!! The bronzer, as always, is a winner!!!! I have fair skin and stopped tanning years ago. Allina created a custom blended bronzer for me that gives me a sun kissed look sans the orange tint that no one wants!!!! She can custom blend these products for you if you live in the Chicago area or if you plan on being in the area for vacation. She has done my makeup before and not only did I LOVE the look she created she clearly understands how makeup should work. You can visit Allina in person if you live in or near the Chicago area or go to her web site to check out this fantastic makeup line!!!!! www.pureaddictioncosmetics.com
It was a sincere pleasure to be given Pure Addiction's spring 2013 colors. I have used countless combo looks with the eye shadows and the blush has been the only shade I've worn. It's a fabulous line of cosmetics that is kind to your skin!!!!! Every fashion addict knows that makeup plays a starring role in the big picture of style!!!!!
If you're a makeup lover like me you must try Pure Addiction!!!!!!!! |
