Dupe or Dud: It Cosmetics ‘Tightline’ vs. NYX ‘Skinny Mascara’

February 18, 2015 Katie Marie 36 Comments

I am SO excited — I’ve been planning this new series for weeks now and have been nearly bursting at the seams in my enthusiasm to share this idea with you all! *happy dance*

Dupe or Dud is where I’ll be comparing two products that are very similar — one high end and one drugstore — and seeing if the cheaper product is a dupe for the more expensive one or if it’s a dud. Because who doesn’t like to save a little money, right?!

L’Oreal Infallible’s New Pro-Matte Line has a Solid Foundation! (Makeup Review)

February 11, 2015 Katie Marie 20 Comments

I meant to get this review up several weeks ago, but it took me weeks to finally find this foundation in my local Ulta and I wanted to make sure I took plenty of time to try it out. So, while this is a bit later than planned — and you’ve probably already seen dozens of reviews on this foundation — I hope you will find it beneficial.

Just for reference: I have normal-to-oily skin that is very sensitive and acne-prone. On a normal day, without any foundation on, I get very shiny and oily and have to blot at least two or three times.

An Easy Too Faced Cat Eyes Palette Tutorial (& Mini Review)

February 4, 2015 Katie Marie 14 Comments

I originally had thought to post my review of this palette and then wait a few weeks to share a tutorial with the palette…but after playing around with this palette, I thought it would be best to combine the two.

I know I’m going to be giving away my review…but I honestly wasn’t very impressed with this palette. But before I spill all the beans, let’s jump into the tutorial!

My Top 5 — Nude Lipsticks

January 23, 2015 Katie Marie 9 Comments

I love wearing a dark lip, but on those normal, natural days, nude lipsticks are what I wear more often than not. And there are so many different types of nudes out there! So these are 5 of my top favorite nude lip products.

Top 5 Nude Lips for Light Medium Skintone // FromMyVanity.comThese nudes vary from a pinky-nude to a more brown-nude, but all of them are ones that I love and feel look flattering on my light, yellowish skintone. These are in no particular order. 🙂 I’ve also swatched them all on my arm so that you could see how different, yet nude they are.

Top 5 Nude Lips for Light Medium Skintone // Arm Swatches // FromMyVanity.comThey show up a tad different on my lips — because the pigmentation on my lips are different then that on my arm — so I’ll include swatches of my lips for tthe lipsticks, too.

1. Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Sable

I received this in a 4-peice set over the holidays and, unfortunately, I just discovered that it was a limited edition color. So I’m really sorry for including a color that you can no longer get…but it’s still a beautiful color so I’ll go ahead and share it with you. 🙂

Top 5 Nude Lips for Light Medium Skintone // Bite Beauty in Sable // FromMyVanity.comThis shows up a very pinky-nude on my and is perfect for those days where I want to have some color on my lips, but nothing too bright or pinky. And this is the perfect shade for me.

2. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I’ve recently discovered NYX’s Soft Matte Lip cream and have been loving them. I don’t think it will be long before I have the entire line!

Top 5 Nude Lips for Light Medium Skintone // NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stolkholm // FromMyVanity.comI always have a partiality toward matte lips — I don’t know why, I just like how it looks. So the fact that these are matte, but feel much more moisturizing and soft then a typical matte lippie…I’m in love. This color in Stockholm is that perfect nude, slightly tan, color that I’m looking for when I want all the drama to be on my eyes. And if I’m not feeling it so matte, I top it off with a sheer, pinky lipgloss and it really adds something special and beautiful to the nude lip look.

3. Maybelline The Buffs Lipstick in Lust

Top 5 Nude Lips for Light Medium Skintone // Maybelline The Buffs Lipstick in Lust // FromMyVanity.comThis is the sheerest nude lipstick that I own, and I like it for when my lips are really dry and I don’t want to put any color on my lips. I use this color in Nude Embrace and while it doesn’t give the appearance of a lipstick, it still gives the shine and tint of color that I want when going out. And it’s much more moisturizing than some of the other lipsticks I own.

4. Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick in Nude Embrace

Can you tell I love matte lipsticks? This is the nude lip I reach for on the days that my lips are very moisturized and healthy and it gives me that really nude look.

5. Rimmel Exaggerate Full-Color Lip Liner in Natural

(Before we jump into this color, I apologize for not having a lip swatch. I somehow completely missed out on getting on. :-/)

Top 5 Nude Lips for Light Medium Skintone // Lipsticks // FromMyVanity.comNow this is a color I wear when I’m wanting to have a really brown-nude lipstick! I’ve only worn it that way a day or two, but one way that I do like to wear it is to give my lips an ombre kind of look using this liner to outline my lips, fill in the sides a bit, and then top it off with the Maybelline the Buffs lipstick I mentioned above. That’s a really pretty nude lip that I’ve really been enjoying recently as we’re starting to welcome summer here in Cali. 🙂

Let me know in the comments below if you like this new series, “Top 5”. And what do you want to see next? Eyeliners? Blushes? Mauve Lipsticks?

Best Beauty Discoveries of 2014!

January 5, 2015 Katie Marie 10 Comments

I know everyone is saying it, so I won’t launch into a spiel about how quickly 2014 went by 🙂 I think the biggest impression that 2014 had on me was all the changes in my life. I graduated cosmetology school, married the love of my life, moved to California, and am currently thriving in my role as a wife and homemaker.

And along with new adventures this year, I’ve also discovered new makeup products that I’ve grown to love and really depend on as a staple in my every day makeup routine.

So many fantastic products discovered in 2014!These are all products I discovered over the past year that were, in my mind, “the best of the best”. (To clarify, these are only the best products I discovered this year. If you want to see my top ten products of all time, go HERE.) These are in no particular order. 🙂
