Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle
When I saw the Melt Gemini palette…I knew it was a palette I had to add to my collection! Just looking at the color story in the palette — it was screaming my name! I love warm browns, mustards, oranges, and hunter greens. I got a lot of requests to share my review with you all…so here we are today! I’ve got a lot of great information for you, so let’s get right into it!
PUR Cosmetics is a brand that I’ve tried in the past, but definitely want to get to know better this year…and what better way than to start with their newest products that they released during their “PUR in Paradise” getaway/campaign! I’m sure we were all watching those snaps! But after the big release…I felt like these were quickly forgotten. Was it because they weren’t any good? Well, no, I wouldn’t say that for all of them — at least, out of the 4 new products from the release that I’ve tried. 🙂 Let’s get into the nitty-gritty and break it down.
We all love affordable makeup, and Jesse’s Girl Cosmetics is definitely one of the more affordable lines available at some drugstores. If you’re lucky enough to have a Rite Aid near you, than you’ve probably seen them in stores, too. I had the opportunity to try a wide variety of their products recently and while there were several amazing products within the line…I definitely discovered a few products that totally did not work for me! 🙁
If you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time, you know I am a big LORAC Cosmetics fan. Needless to say, I was surprised when I realized I’ve never done a top 10 or top 5 from LORAC. Like…how did that even happen?? Well, today we’re going to fix that! I like so many products that they put out, but these 5 are the cream of the crop for me!
Have you heard of Mellow Cosmetics? This summer I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, exploring new accounts like I often do, when I stumbled across their feed. I was so intrigued — the packaging is stunning and you know I’m always on the hunt for a new, fantastic liquid lipstick.
If you didn’t know…I LOVE matte liquid lipsticks. Even before it really took off as a trend, I was ALL about that matte lip and anytime I can try a new one I do a little happy dance, of course! Highlight Cosmetics liquid lipstick is a new product on the market and when they offered to end me a lipstick to try…well, how could I say no?!
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?
