Big Makeup/Vanity Declutter!

Hello guys! I feel like it hasn’t been that long since I went through my collection but there was just some stuff in there that I needed to get rid of.

Makeup:

Tarte Brow Toolbox – I never use this because the shades are too brown for me, but I think Christine might love it so i’m going to gift it to her.

Laura Geller Lipstick in Berry – I don’t feel like berry lips suit me very well anymore so I’m getting rid of this one.

Jane Iredale lip stain in the shade forever peach – I liked this at first but I don’t think the bright coral orange color suits me well when I have red hair.

W3ll people Bio Brightening Invisible Powder – I somehow ended up with two so I’m going to give away this one.

Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Mean Girls – This is too bright for me, but I think it would look gorgeous on christines tanner complexion so I’ll gift it to her.

Stila Cushion Gel liner in sapphire ink – I don’t like this formula at all so I’m getting rid of this.

Bareminerals Single Shadows in Rhyme and Lyre – Both of these are gorgeous but I have dupes for them in palettes.

Top 5 Lip Products for Fall!

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog! I have been obsessed with darker brown nude lips lately, and I wanted to share my top five. I have glosses and matte lipsticks and liquid and cream lipsticks in here basically all different finishes, light to dark shades and sheer to opaque so there is something for everyone!

1. LA colors Matte Lipstick in the shade in love

This is a matte finish lipstick and it is the most stunning deeper brown nude that you can build up to a more edgy look for swipe on one coat for a beautiful natural look. I absolutely love the staying power of this and I don’t think it is drying in the slightest.

2. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in the shade Very Victoria

This one is way more subtle and is a stunning brown nude for fair to medium skin tones. It is so creamy, matte and I actually love this for everyday. I have done a review on it if you want more information!

5 Products I’ve Changed my Mind About!

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog! I have some products to share with you that I have changed my mind about after using them for a while. Some I disliked and now I absolutely love and some the opposite happened!

1. Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara

This used to be a holy grail of mine but now after trying out so many others it just seems meh. Like it gets the job done but I honestly am not reaching for it. After I finish this tube I won’t buy another.

2. Tarte Tartiest mascara 

I hated this upon first impression because of how bad it flaked and how it was goopy. After using it for a month it stopped flaking and I figured out how to work with it. Now it is actually my favorite mascara! It gives beautiful volume.

3. Becca Beach tint lip shimmer in the shade Rasberry/Opal

I loved this when I first got it and I thought it was so gorgeous! But as a couple months passed I started liking it less. It feels a little sticky on the lips which I dislike especially because of how expensive this is.

High-end Products That Aren’t Working For Me

Hi guys! Welcome back to our blog, I have 3 high end products to share with you that just really are not working out. I dislike them but I spent so much money on them I can’t bring myself to give them away.

First up we have the Tarte Tarteist Contour palette

I tried a lot to make this work for me, but the two contour shades are too warm for my very cool toned complexion and the blush is too dark for me. The lighter contour shade which i could make work has no pigment in it. The white shade in the middle has glitter in it all over and has no pigmentation which I dislike. The shades don’t feel buttery in my opinion and seem harder pressed which I don’t personally like, but maybe someone else would. Overall I don’t think this is worth the youtube hype. I have a $3 contour kit that beats this and this costs $45.

The Packaging Awards – Makeup I Bought for the Packaging!

Hi guys and welcome back to our blog!

I know I am not the only one who is guilty of buying makeup for the packaging, and I have a ton of products I bought because they looked pretty. This was inspired by one of my favorite youtubers, livloveshermakeup who did this a long while ago but I had a good laugh about it so I wanted to do it as well! Today I am going to share my top five prettiest makeup items with you!

1. Hourglass Vanish Stick Foundation

This is so freaking gorgeous, the triangular tube is in this maroony brown shade which is so luxe, and its super simple too. It’s such elegant packaging that I love it!

2. Tarte Tartelette Matte Palette

This palette is stunning, the warm periwinkle fading to purple is so pretty and I love the gold font. The cursive is really girly as well and I honestly have kept holding on to it for the packaging. I just can’t bring myself to declutter it even though I don’t love it.

Tarteist Lip Paint Review and Swatches!

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog! I have so many things I want to review and share my thoughts on so here is yet another review. Today we will be focusing on the Tartiest lip paints which are hyped up like crazy, and whether their actually worth the money:

Promise: Quick dry, full coverage, transfer-proof liquid lipstick

Overview:

• cruelty free!
• 28 shades available
• liquid lipstick matte formula and finish
• Price: $20 which is reasonable

The texture of this whipped and super light and airy. I forgot I was wearing this multiple times. It is full coverage and super pigmented with one swipe. It comes out of the tube matte so you don’t have to wait for it to dry down to get a matte look which I really like. This was transfer proof for me, it didn’t come off on my water bottle until late in the day and lasted through super greasy pizza. It also lasted through most of the day, but it was not crazy long wear. It doesn’t fade too evenly in my opinion, the middle comes off first but that is pretty typical. If you don’t like more whipped liquid lipsticks you will not like this!

Summer Project Pan!

Hi everyone and welcome back to our blog! I am loving project panning so I am definitely going to be doing another one for sure. I picked 10 products this time, but only six are makeup (mostly newish too) so I think I should be able to get through most of the products (certainly will get through the skincare ones).

Skincare: 

Juice beauty face mask – This has been open for almost two years and I don’t want it to go bad, I love it so I want to finish it.

Neuotrogena purifying cream cleanser – I absolutely love this but it has been open for a long time and I also have a cruelty free face wash that I am in love with so I want to use this up!

Tarte maracuja oil – this expires in September and is nowhere near done! I love it so I want to finish it and repurchase.

Super Exciting High End Haul from Ulta/Sephora!

Hello guys! I have a post that I’m super excited to share with you all! This weekend I got some fabulous cult classic products that I’ve been dying to try out. This is kind of a more mini haul since there is only six products, and all are cruelty free! These products are all so exciting I am in love with what I bought!

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize shadow in the shade Veruschka – 

This is a stunning cream to powder eyeshadow that turns into a gorgeous muted silver on the lid. It is so beautiful and I think it would be lovely for smokey eyes.

Charlotte Tilbury Color Chameleon eyeshadow stick in the shade Black Diamonds –

This is something I heard Zoe Sugg raving about! It looks perfect for creating simple eye looks. This shade is super glittery but not overdone and it also doesn’t seem black to me at all. More like a dark green toned silver which will look gorgeous on my brown eyes.  

Urban decay naked skin concealer –

5 Favorite Nude Lipsticks for Everyday

Hello everyone! Welcome back to our blog and thank you all so much for reading. I love nude lipsticks and I’m sure a ton of you guys do too. These are my favorite ones that I rotate through on a daily basis for everyday makeup, or a natural look.

1. Butter London Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon in Teddy Boy

This is a recent and new favorite of mine, its the perfect my lips but better shade and is so so pigmented. The formula is so smooth and soft that I’ve forgotten that I’m wearing it sometimes. The finish is satiny!

2.  Laura Geller Lipstick in Dolce

This is so beautiful and I absolutely love the shift to it. It looks stunning and I have yet to try a becca highlighter. I will definitely be saving up to purchase this! I’ve heard so many good reviews and I know that becca is a consistent brand so I have no qualms about purchasing it!

2. Anastasia modern renaissance palette

I’ve been wanting this for ages you guy so, I’ve seen nothing but positive reviews and the hype around it still hasn’t gone always. I feel like the red toned shadows would be a staple in my collection and I love the formula. It always feels so soft and buttery when I swatch it in ulta, I am just so hyped to but this eventually!
