Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I want to talk to about the Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette from Urban Decayed. I am a big fan of the Naked palettes and this is a great one to have.

Description: The palette features 12 all-new, amber-hued neutrals—including warm browns, burnt oranges, and rich siennas. These neutral to warm tones go with all skin tones.

Verdict: The Naked Palette from Urban Decade is a wonderful eyeshadow palette full of highly pigmented and blendable colors. The colors are amazing and pigmented, you don’t need to coat your brush to get the payoff and the colors are natural enough to dress them up or down. I find this palette has the best shades for smoking out your under the eye too. I absolutely love this palette.

Are you digging this new collection from Urban Decade? Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a great weekend. Today I want to take the time and talk to you about the June.

Description: The June Glam Bag came in a fabric bag with a picture of a lip with red lipstick. Yes, you got it right, red lipstick. How chick is that! It’s a not-so-subtle reminder to *always* speak your mind! The bag is perfect for making a glam statement. Inside are five products: NYX Professional Makeup Whipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé, BioRepublic SkinCare Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask & Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask, the Balm Cosmetics INSTAIN Long-Wearing Staining Powder Blush in Pinstripe, Skone Cosmetics Insanely Intense Tattooed Waterproof Eyeliner, and Luna By Luna Cosmetics
Eyeshadow in Jace.

NYX Professional Makeup Whipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé ($6 value): It is very creamy and soft with a nice texture and beautiful color. However, it really does not last long. I will only give it a 3.5 to 4 stars at most.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

BioRepublic SkinCare Aloe Rescue Revitalizing Fiber Mask & Green Tea Detox Purifying Fiber Mask ($9.98 value): The Green Tea mask is infused with a ton of revitalizing ingredients (like natural green tea extract and Vitamin E) that leave your skin looking and feeling SO fresh and SO clean. One the other hand, the Aloe mask is full of soothing aloe vera juice will immediately hydrate and calm down sun-stressed skin.

theBalm Cosmetics INSTAIN Long-Wearing Staining Powder Blush in Pinstripe ($21 value):  This talc-free, fade-resistant formula is perfect for hot days and even hotter nights. The shade is beautiful, and it stays very well. I’ve been given a lot of blushes and would definitely like to get more varied items.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Skone Cosmetics Insanely Intense Tattooed Waterproof Eyeliner ($20 value): A precise, felt tip makes creating cat eyes and graphic looks SUPER easy. I absolutely love the eyeliner with its precise tip and it lasts such a long time.

Luna By Luna Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Jace ($15 value): The site says it’s vegan and cruelty-free and only been tested on party animals. There is not much pigmentation even with eye primer. I am not a fan of this shadow at all.

Hourglass Girl Lip Stylo

Posted on by
4

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a lovely Memorial Day. I want to start by giving my salute and heartfelt gratitude to all those who gave their lives serving our country and those are currently serving to protect our freedom. Today, I want to talk to you about the Girl Lip Stylo from Hourglass.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Description: The lip stylo contains a blend of shea butter, jojoba, mimosa, and sunflower seed. It is Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates free.

Verdict: The lip stylo is quite pigmented. It is creamy and moisturizing, natural looking and it fades away nicely. Moreover, it feels so comfortable on the lips and really sinks in while maintaining a long lasting color on the lips. The only downside to it is the price. One stylo will set you back $32. I am not sure if I am okay with that.  Other than that I love this stylo.

What is your favorite lip color? Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

May Ipsy Glam Bag

Posted on by

bag4

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a great Wednesday. Today I want to talk to you about the April Ipsy Glam Bag. As you know, Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription. Each month you will receive full size or deluxe size items and a cute makeup bag. I think it’s one of the best value beauty subscriptions and a great way to build out your makeup collection for just $10 a month.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Description: The May Glam Bag came in a clear plastic bag with pictures of favorite summer treats in it. Yes, you got it right, it’s ice cream. The bag is perfect for making a splash at pool parties. Inside are five products: Urban Decay Afterglow highlighter powder in Sin, IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Black, Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Surfer Girl, Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray, and Caked Makeup Lip Fondant in Low Key.

Urban Decay Afterglow highlighter powder in Sin ($9 sample value): This is a long lasting highlighter. I have to admit that it is not pigmented as Becca but I love the subtle shade it creates. I also love how smoothly it glides on. It creates a natural glow.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Black ($12 sample value): It is formulated with powerful peptides and proteins, strengthening biotin, lash lifting polymers and plumping collagen to help keep lashes healthy and strong. It keeps my lashes look more intense, longer and fuller. However, it does leave lashes a little clumpy.

Adesse New York Organic Infused Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Surfer Girl ($18):  This nail polish is 5 Free, Cruelty-Free, Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Vegan, and the formula is infused with organic bamboo extract, argan oil, and shea oil. I absolutely love the color. However, you have to layer it more than two layers to get a consistent color. Nevertheless, the color is perfect for the beach.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray: An ultra-light, leave-in conditioning spray that brings hydration and moisture to locks without weighing them down. However, I did not find it to be anything special.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Caked Makeup Lip Fondant in Low Key ($16): I actually am okay with the shade. However, it is a little drying on my lip. I addressed it by using eos as my lip primer.

My dear readers! Though I really love Ipsy, overall, the May Ipsy Glam Bag a is much better than the April one.

Do you like beauty products and love products each month, then just click on the link here and sign up for ipsy to get your beauty bag each month for just $10 per month.

What is your favorite item in your Ipsy bag?  Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Power of the Petal – Sephora Favorites

Posted on by
Reply

sephora3

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had wonderful Saturday. I have been sick for the past two weeks from severe cold and sinus. However, I am back to share with you today one the items I got from Sephora. Unfortunately, it is no longer available at Sephora. It’s the Power of the Petal from Sephora Favorites. 

Description: This $38 set contains 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Face Lifting Soft Cream – 0.24 oz/ 7 mL Estée Edit Pink Peony Overnight Water Pack – 0.71 oz/ 21 mL Farmacy Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask with Echinacea GreenEnvy – Deep Moisture (Cucumber) – 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Fresh Rose Face Mask – 0.51 oz/ 15 mL Karuna Age-Defying+ Hand Mask – 0.7 oz/ 20 mL L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate – 0.09 oz/ 2.8 mL Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask – 1 oz/ 30 mL SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. The set is worth $114.

Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Face Lifting Soft Cream: This lightweight, but intensely nourishing cream delivers visible plumping and firming hydration while leaving a matte, pearlized finish.

Estée Edit Pink Peony Overnight Water Pack: The water-gel formula provides a power-packed punch of glow and hydration while you sleep. Pink peony, gogi berry, blueberry, and cranberry soothe, smooth, and brighten skin while hyaluronic acid hydrates. This mask can be used daily as an overnight treatment or anytime as a hydrating and energizing mask. It really keeps my skin smooth and hydrated.

Farmacy Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask with Echinacea GreenEnvy – Deep Moisture (Cucumber): Cucumber extract delivers high levels of vitamin C, which assist in helping to maintain moisture levels, while the Echinacea GreenEnvy contains the highest known concentration of cichoric acid—helps protect the skin by supporting natural collagen. My skin felt hydrated and healthy after the 20-minute process. Can’t recommend more!

Fresh Rose Face Mask: This hydrating and toning gel mask is infused with real rose petals, soothing rosewater, and a “smart” algae that deliver optimum moisture. I have a big fan of masks, and this almost completely absorbed into my skin. It smells good and feels great on my skin. However, I am not sure if I am not convinced enough to pay $62 for the 3.3 oz size. You can get the 1 oz for $25. I am not completely convinced yet.

Karuna Age-Defying+ Hand Mask: This hand mast contains creamy oil-serum that leaves your hands more hydrated, softer, and smoother in as little as one application. This mask is amazing. You can actually use your phone, without living any oily residue while using this mask. How cool is that! Most of all, it left my hand soft, hydrated and bright after one use. I am definitely buying this masking again. I am so glad Sephora Favorites introduced me to this mask. ‘

loccitane

L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate: The concentrate is enriched with almond oil and milk for a firmer, smoother, and hydrated looking skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It is extremely moisturizing and not greasy at all. However, it is quite pricey.

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask: This fast-acting eye treatment sheet contains pure retinol micro-infusion technology to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as little as 15 minutes. The stretchy material adheres nicely to visible laugh lines around the mouth too.  The eye mask brightens and smoothes under-eye area after the first use. However, it is quite pricey. It’s $65 for a pack of 12 masks. I will probably use it for special occasions.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence:  This treatment essence is enriched with more than 90 percent Pitera, the main ingredient used to enhance the skin’s renewal process. Additionally, it contains nourishing vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and acids to promote the skin’s renewal. I saw great reviews about this product. However, I did not see much difference on my skin.  I only used it a couple of times hence probably is too early to judge. However, when I look at the price of the item, I think I will pass.

My dear readers! I am really glad that I got the chance to try so many wonderful products. I am really glad that I got try these products and would like to thank Sephora for this.

What is your favorite product from here?  Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Elizabeth Mott Show Me Your Glow Shimmer Shadow & Highlighter: I have a big fan of glow shimmers and highlighters, and what I like about this one is that it’s not dramatic.

OFRA Cosmetics Peach Blush: I love blushes, and I love how subtle the blush is. However, I did not like the packaging at all.

My dear readers! Though I really love Ipsy, overall, the April Ipsy Glam Bag a disappointment to me. However, I do have to admit that I really admire the creativity of the ticket stub makeup bag. I also liked the eyeliner and even the lip balm. The other products were little meh.

Katvond5

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are doing well. I have just received the complimentary #EverLastingLipliner from Kat Von D @KATVONDBeauty  in Lolita. It retails for $18 at Sephora.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Description: It’s a dusty rose color. This is a long wear and a matte, high-pigment formula. It is also paraben. I received this lolita everlasting lipliner Kat Von D Von Box from Influensta.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Verdict: I absolutely love this lip color. I received these products for free. It perfectly matches the Lolita lipcolor that I have. It’s soft and thin and glides on easily. However, I would not wear it alone as it can be quite drying. Nonetheless, wearing my eos as a primer takes care of that issue. If you have a drying or sensitive lips, I would highly suggest wearing a primer or light balm as a primer to combact the dryness. Otherwise, this is an absolutely amazing color that love and have received a lot of completement on.

What is your favorite lipliner? Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.

Tarte Make Believe In Yourself: Eye & Cheek Palette

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are doing well. Today want to take the time to talk to about this beautiful palette to my collection. It’s the Make Believe In Yourself: Eye & Cheek Palette from Tarte. It retails for $40.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Description: This is an unicorn-inspired eyeshadow palette with 10 radiant shadows and a strobing eye and cheek highlighter. This is the latest collection from Tarte. It contains eight shimmering eye shades, a matte nude shade, and a pearl highlight shimmer.

Verdict: This is a beautiful palette that I absolutely love and adore. Use your fingers or a dense brush to apply these shadows. They go so well for a soft glam day look and you can add a liner for a night look. The wear lasts all day or all night!  I mix with some darker mattes to make a halo eye, but you can create something beautiful and unique using it alone. I have seen a lot of negative reviews about the lack of pigment. However, if you just use your finger or a flat dense brush pigmentation works great. Just try it. The shades are just superb!

What is your favorite shimmering eyeshadow palette? Please comment and let us know. I would really love to hear your feedback.
