May Beauty Favorites!

Hello guys! Welcome back our blog! All through May, I’ve been loving all sorts of old favorites so lets get into what I’ve been loving this month:

Makeup:

Eye Makeup –


Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

This mascara makes your lashes so black and the formula glides on so easily. None of the new mascaras I’m trying go on as easily and as black as this one. I only use a tiny amount of product on the brush because this can get gloppy so quickly, but if you are careful, it looks beautiful and you get thick fluttery lashes.

Face Makeup –


ELF Tone Correcting Powder in cool

I have been loving this powder to set my foundation, it will mattify but it won’t leave your skin looking dry or flat. I won’t bore you guys because I literally just did a review, but I have been using this every day this month!

ELF $2 Blush in the shade Shy

This is the blush I’ve been reaching for all month. The formula is lovely, it is cheap, the color makes my fair skin look awake and healthy and gives a perfect flush to the cheeks. These are so easy to apply and blend and I just can’t stop wearing this blush!

Lipsticks –

Urban Decay Cream Finish Vice Lipstick Review

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog, today I’m going to review another lipstick that I got for christmas, the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Naked which is part of their cream formula.


Overview:

  • Price: $17
  • Cruelty free!
  • 100 shades of these Vice Lipsticks are available!

Promise: This creamy formula is packed with nourishing ingredients. A butter blend comforts, hydrates, and enhances, leaving lips soft and conditioned, and never dry. Aloe vera, jojoba, avocado, and babassu oils nourish and soften lips. (From Sephora’s site!)

I do have to say I love this formula! If you are after a moisturizing, basic, everyday sort of cream lipstick like I am, then I think you would like this as well. It is nourishing, not drying at all, so it definitely lives up to that part of its promise. Continue reading “Urban Decay Cream Finish Vice Lipstick Review”

Urban Decay Comfort Matte Vice Lipstick Review

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog, I am very excited to review this lipstick for you guys today, even though I know everyone has already shared their opinion, I want to share mine. Today I will review the comfort matte formula from the urban decay vice lipstick line! (I do have another one of these in a cream formula and that review will be up soon!

Overview:

  • Price: ($17)
  • Cruelty free!
  • 100 shades available

Promise:

  • Comfort Matte (CM): the creamiest matte (Ulta beauty website)


Immediately after I applied this comfort matte formula, it was gorgeous, not drying and very creamy (did live up to the promise), but in two hours it was incredibly drying. At first it made my lips look very smooth, no lines, and it was flattering. The color and pigment was still on my lips after a good 3 to 4 hours. These lipsticks were so pigmented and smooth to apply, very true to color, had a long wear time and a very pretty matte finish, however, the formula was so drying! I have liquid lipsticks that are less drying than this, and it is supposed to be comfortable.

Hello guys! Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it, and happy holidays if you choose to celebrate something else! I hope you all have lovely days and that you’ve gotten to spend tons of time with family.

My family and friends know me so well, and so I always get gifted makeup, which I’m so grateful for. I’m going to show you guys all of that makeup so that you can request reviews on certain products and see what my blog content will revolve around for the next couple months! (Not to brag, I promise)

Let’s get into it!

Face Makeup:

Stila Heavens Hue Highlighter in the shade Kitten – This is the putty highlighter that everyone was obsessed with for a little while!I swatched it and it is so soft and creamy. I’m very excited to play around with it more!

Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer – This looks so perfect for my fair skin, it isn’t too warm, just a pretty bronzing shade for me and I am beyond excited to try it out!

The Best Concealer for Creaseless Undereyes!

Hello guys! I got this concealer way back in April and I never reviewed it because for a while, I actually hated it. Now i’ve completely changed my mind and I have been loving it for my undereyes and for spot concealing. It’s just become an all around favorite for me!

It is the Urban Decay naked skin concealer!

Promise:
An innovative, high-coverage concealer that provides buildable, weightless coverage and leaves an invisible, Naked Skin finish. (sephora website)

This concealer does everything it says. It has a really good amount of coverage, medium to full, and isn’t drying at all. I don’t think I’ve found another concealer that lasts this long and is this lightweight. This doesn’t crease on my undereyes, even if I don’t set it with powder it seems to set itself and doesn’t settle into my lines. I have hooded eyes and almost all concealers crease there except for this one. It is really hydrating, if you have incredibly dry undereyes it will sink in and attempt to hydrate, which will cause cracking. That is what happened with me and why I didn’t like it at first. After I started using an eye cream at night that problem disappeared and it looks weightless and flawless on my skin when I apply it in the morning.

Fall 2017 Ipsys!

Hello my lovelies!

So I’ve been a little forgetful when it comes to the ipsy bags, I am very sorry!

I completely forgot to do a September post of the September bag, so I decided to combine September and October’s bags into one big  fall ipsy bag review.

For September the first item I pulled out was…

Smash box photo finish primer in the shade of radiance

Now as much as this is a good product, I find I just don’t use it as much. Not that it’s bad, I just don’t really use it, this primer didn’t WOW me enough for me to use it daily.

Pacifica blush


Now I love the brand Pacifica, all their products are amazing! So I was so exited when I opened this one up, the two blushed are an amazing shade and apply as if you were naturally blushing, by far my favorite ipsy item so far!

Five Products Worth the Splurge

Hello everyone, welcome back to our blog! After I made a post about high end products I didn’t think were worth the money, I thought I would show you some of my absolute all time favorites that are most definitely worth the price.

1. Tarte Tarteist mascara


This is the best mascara for volumizing! It also makes your lashes super black. This formula is wet at first and will flake so let it sit for a week or two before using it, it won’t dry out quickly at all. I love that this wand separates and curls your lashes beautifully!

2. Tarte lights camera lashes mascara Continue reading “Five Products Worth the Splurge”

3 Favorite Mascaras for Volumizing

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog! Today I’m going to be talking about one of my favorite beauty products ever: mascara. Here are my three favorite mascaras for volumizing that I tend to use on a rotation. I do have one drugstore option for you all, which is absolutely amazing!

1. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

This tube is so iconic, I bet you all have heard hundreds of beauty bloggers rave about it. Their hype is completely real, this mascara gives your lashes thick black volume, and it stays on completely all day. I haven’t had any problems with smudging and it gives such a nice thickening effect. It is also easy to remove with oil based remover.

2. Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

Christmas Haul Update

Hello everyone! Welcome back to our blog! Now that it is a month later I thought I would give you an update on almost everything that I got for Christmas! If you haven’t read that post, definitely check it out here so you can see what I’ll be talking about today! *This will be long, so I split it into sections so you can skip around.*

Mascara:


Urban Decay Perversion Mascara – I like this a lot but I am not in love. I love how much volume it gives but you have to be extremely careful not to get too much product out, it can get gloppy fast.

jane iredale Longest Lash mascara – love! I use this everyday in my mascara routine. It lengthens your lashes beautifully and it can be used in its own for a natural look.

Butter London Double Decker Lashes mascara – WOAH VOLUME! I’m actually super impressed and I love this. To be honest I have been reaching for this more than my Tarteist mascara!

Bobbi brown No smudge mascara – this is an amazing amazing mascara for the lower lashes because it doesn’t budge all day!
 Bobbi brown Smokey eye mascara – I love the volume that this gives but I think you could easily find something from the drugstore that works just as well!

Eyeliner:
