Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle
Wet n Wild has long been a drugstore favorite of mine. They consistently put out remarkably good quality products for very affordable prices and this Wet n Wild summer collection is no exception! I have almost everything from the collection, including the metallic liquid lipsticks that caught my attention.
Sigma Beauty is a well known brand in the makeup community that’s supposed to have high quality brushes at more affordable prices. I finally took the plunge a couple months ago and purchased several brushes. This post is far overdue, but I haven’t been able to post it till now. But at least you know I’ve had plenty of time to thoroughly test out all the brushes!
Color Correcting has taken the beauty community by storm! I’m honestly not sure what set it off, but all of a sudden all the makeup companies started coming out with their own array of correcting products. I didn’t jump in on the new trend originally, but after receiving these products from Smashbox, I decided to give it a whirl and see if it makes a difference on skin who’s main issue is just undereye circles and acne — teen skin, essentially! 🙂
I know the buzz for this new Tartelette in Bloom palette died down a while ago, but I wanted to wait until the hype was gone before I got this palette and gave it a try. I was sucked into the hype of the original Tartelette palette and was disappointed to discover that many shadows were difficult to blend out and overall it was just okay. I almost passed on this new palette all together because of that, but after seeing some swatch videos, they changed my mind. So is it better than the original?
NYX Cosmetics released their new Ultimate Shadow Palettes a few weeks ago and everyone instantly connected them visually as looking like the popular Viseart palettes. These palettes are on the more expensive end for NYX, but I was able to get them on sale during a ‘Buy One Get One Half Off” and use a 20% off Ulta coupon on top of that. Much more affordable! But are they worth it?
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve tried a new mascara and this new Fully Charged Magnetic mascara from PUR Cosmetics has been giving my lashes life recently. Ever since it arrived, really. My lashes have been really sad ever since my postpartum hair loss started kicking into full swing (no one ever told me you also loose lashes! 😮 ) so I’ve been needing a good mascara to amp up the volume for me!
I shared on Snapchat a few weeks back when I purchased the Revlon ColorStay ‘Not Just Nudes’ Romantic Nudes palette and I’m finally able to share my complete thoughts with you today! It’s always exciting when the drugstore brings out a big eyeshadow palette — I reviewed the L’Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nude2 palette right when it was released! — and the hope is that it’ll be just as good as a high-end eyeshadow palette. Did this Not Just Nudes palette meet my expectations? 🙂
