Red Love


ysl4

Hi there my loveliness! Happy Friday to everyone! I thought, what a great way to end the weekdays by talking to you, my lovely friends about my latest haul away from Sephora. I thought I would share my review with you.

Description: This month, in honor of the Heart Month and Valentine’s Day, I got three shades red lip colors. They include: Ciaté London Pretty Stix Murumuru Butter Lipstick in First Love, Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick in COLOR 4 Rouge in Danger, and Yves Saint Laurent Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Lip Stain in COLOR 9 Rouge Laque.

Ciaté London Pretty Stix Murumuru Butter Lipstick in First Love ($20): Ciate London is a buttery and creamy lipstick in red. It goes on smooth and creamy and looks fabulous. It lasts fairly long. The case is very cute. I like how hydrating it is.  You have to layer it to get a deeper color.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick in COLOR 4 Rouge in Danger ($37): YSL is really one of my favorite brands. I really love how rich and creamy it is, and it is very super easy to apply. It is infused with 65 percent oils with deeply hydrating texture. I love this sheer lipstick and have it in few different shades. The only sad part is it does not last long, but I am okay it is because how it is hydrating to the extreme and I will take over long-lasting color for my extra dry lips. It’s a sheer lipstick but definitely buildable. One of the best thing I love about this lipstick is the smell. It smells so fresh. I highly recommend this lipstick if you can splurge.

Yves Saint Laurent Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Lip Stain in COLOR 9 Rouge Laque ($36): This lip color offers the shine of a gloss with a long wear of a stain. However, I am not sure it is worth the price. Out of the three lip colors that bought this is my least favorite. I do admit that it does last a long time. However, it does wear off very easily if you touch your lips with anything which I do and I am not sure if I am going to buy this again. If your New Year resolution is to spend your money wisely then don’t spend it on this.

All that Glitters is Gold


mac2mac3

Hi there my lovelies! Happy Hump Day to everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday so far. Today, I want to talk to you about my latest haul away from Mac Cosmetics.
mac3

Description: My latest Mac Cosmetics haul away includes three items, two of which are currently sold out. As a Mac Select customer, I had a choice of two samples. The three items include: the Stripped Naked Lip Kit in Whirl, Dazzle Shadow X 4: The Shining Hour, and Mac Lipstick in Model Behavior.

Stripped Naked Lip Kit in Whirl ($29): Mac Cosmetics is known for its highly pigmented and bold lip colors. However, now for those nude lip color lovers, Mac has come up with the nude duo kit. This kit comes with a lipstick and lip pencil. What is different about this kit is that the lip pencil is slightly darker than the lipstick in order to create a more fuller look with a 3D effect. As always, I really love this kit and highly recommend it. However, unfortunately, due to high demand, the kit is currently sold out.

Dazzle Shadow X 4-The Shining Hour ($32): Who said that all that glitter is not gold? This palette contains four sparkling shades: burgundy with teal, pink, gold, and sparkling white. I absolutely love this palette. I just spray a little liquid primer on my brush before dipping it into the pan and it lasts all day. The colors more gorgeous in person, and I am glad that I ordered them before they sold out, because this palette is worth every penny.

Mac Lipstick in Model Behavior ($17): Finally, Model Behavior is a bold color. Since I received this lipstick, I received a lot of compliments and my mom has been wanting this lipstick from me since she saw the shade on my lip. I really this lipstick. It goes it smoothly and lasts a long time.

Please let me know if there are particular topics, in general, you would like for me to cover in the future.

When you sign up, $200+ in beauty, fashion, and wellness finds for just $49.99/season. For a limited time join me and get 10 off the first box by clicking here.

Description:  The subscription box comes with nine fashion and beauty items: Modcloth Lock and Key Scarf, The Created Co. To Go Coffee Mug, Fabfitfun Coloring Book & Colored Pencil, Manna Kadar Liplocked Priming Gloss Stain, Marrakesh Argan and Hemp Hair Oil, O.R.G Skincare Mineral Peel Face, Jook & Nona Tag Necklace in 18K Gold Plate, Anderson Lilley Beach Butter Body Cream, and Zoya Nail Polish. This box is valued at $257.98 and I only paid $34.99 with my discount code.

Modcloth Lock and Key Scarf: I actually love this scarf. It is so warm. You can wear it so many different ways. As it says in the description card, belt it, wrap it, or rock it like a poncho and you will be just as warm as you will be stylish.

fabfit10.jpg

The Created Co. To Go Coffee Mug: It’s nice to wake up in the morning and sip coffee in an inspirational coffee mug. Though I am not a big fan of plastic mug, but it’s very nice to know that 10% of the profit goes to charity: water’s mission to bring safe and clean drinking water to those in need. Kudos to that!

fabfit4

Fabfitfun Coloring Book & Colored Pencil: This is a fall coloring book. This is a great way to destress. I know this from experience. My sketches and paintings have helped me through some hardest times in life. I am given mine to someone close, who is currently going through a hard time, and she found it to be helpful.

Manna Kadar Liplocked Priming Gloss Stain: This is a primer, lip stain, and gloss in one, it eliminates the need for a hefty makeup bag but ensures that your lips stay lusciously vibrant all day long.  It applies easily and doesn’t show many flaws in the lips. However, it does feather. While it’s moisturizing, you’ll have to reapply it a time or two during the day. A lot of it transfers to mugs and cups when you drink.

fabfit9

Marrakesh Argan and Hemp Hair Oil: This product provides long-lasting frizz control, and is safe for color-treated hair. It provides deep-moisturizing shine and conditioning to your hair and also protects while you heat-style or straighten. I find that it makes my hair look smooth and shiny even when I am not able to blow dry and flat iron. I also use it in my hand to keep it soft. Hemp seed oil improves moisture and elasticity to the skin by lubricating beneath the surface. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that are perfect for those with sensitive skin, eczema or rosacea.

fabfit8.jpg

O.R.G Skincare Mineral Peel Face: I am big fan face feel because it gets rid of dead skins, exfoliates, and reveals glowing skin. Hence, just spray it on, massage it on, and get ready to glow.

Jook & Nona Tag Necklace: This is beautiful 18k gold plated stainless necklace that will a chic look to any outfit. I especially love the “Inspire” word in it.

fabfit6.jpg

Anderson Lilley Beach Butter Body Cream: This cruelty-free cream is free of parabens, pegs, artificial colors, petrolatum and mineral oil. Just apply to hands and body as often as needed to hydrate and nourish your skin.

fabfit5

Zoya Nail Polish: I always love Zoya nail polish because they are vegan and cruelty-free. I can use this polish without having to worry about harmful chemicals. Every bottle of Zoya nail polish is “5-free,” meaning it is free of DBP, camphor, toluene, formaldehyde, and formaldehyde resin, and I love the color.

The Most Hyped About Kat Von D Alchemist Holographic Palette


alchemist9
Kat Von D Alchemist Holographic Palette

 

Hi there beautiful lovelies! Happy Friday morning to everyone! I am starting the morning with 7 degrees Fahrenheit windchill, but that is not stopping me from enjoying my day and spreading some love. How about we start the day by talking the one of the most hyped about products of last year? Yes, I am talking about none other than Kat Von D’s Alchemist Holographic Palette, which is currently sold out at Kat Von D.  However, it just became available at Sephora. I was fortunate enough to get mine from a Sephora store.

Description: The palette features four holographic shades: Emerald, Saphyre, Amethyst, and Opal. You can wear them alone or layer them to your heart content. To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the Too Faced x Kat Von D Better Together Ultimate Eye CollectionHowever, after looking at the looking at this palette I remembered why I Kat Von D is good at what she do. Perhaps the collaboration wasn’t just meant to be at this point but this palette is brilliant. Each of the four shades within the palette catches the light from every angle for a spectrum of luminizing special effects—perfect for customizing finishes and exploring your artistic expression. Most of all, the hybrid formula also doubles as a super-shimmery highlighter. Simply sweep product over prepped skin. It retails for $32.

Verdict: In the beginning, I was a little skeptical about getting this palette but now can tell you that it is really worth all the hype. It’s highly pigmented, hence little goes a long way. The palette looks small but the colors are beautiful! They are very pigmented and very easy to blend. I debated buying this at first because from pictures the pans looked small. I went into the Sephora store in JC Penny and looked at it in person and the pans are bigger than they appear. I use them as highlighters and eye shadows. I couldn’t be happier and will be repurchasing as well, but hopefully, they will be available. If you’re thinking about getting this, it’s definitely worth the $32 since they aren’t everyday colors.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment Made My No Makeup Look a Reality


Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday. If you have been following my blog post you know that I am a beauty product enthusiast (okay, I admit I am a beauty junky, a hoarder). Most of all, I most of the time I really don’t like wearing makeup at all. I love the no makeup look and am always in the hunt for natural looking products. If you are like me, look no further than Dr. Jart+’s Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 available Sephora. It retails for $52.

Description: This is the all-in-one treatment that includes a color-changing capsule within the formula to cover blemishes and restore the look of the skin’s strength, health, and vitality. It is pale green in color and when applied creates a beige look on the skin. After cleansing skin, apply a moderate amount of the cream. The cream will change from green-to-beige to correct any redness.

drjart4b

Verdict: I love the look the treatment creates. I finally it covers my blemishes. As you can see in the above picture with half my face with the treatment and the other half without the treatment, you can see a clear difference. I used on my face right after I came back from the hospital from being very sick, and the treatment really covers up the fatigued look as well. I love that it is a true sunscreen with zinc oxide. However,  I would recommend a serum underneath it because it’s not overly moisturizing. I would definitely recommend this treatment for anyone who could use a little evening out but may not always like to use heavy foundations and concealers.

Jelly Pong Pong Curl Fairy Lashes: This cruelty-free sculpting, curling mascara continually curls lashes throughout the day with a unique synthesis of Moringa Seed resin that dries down and holds the curl of lashes for long-lasting results.

Nuxe Paris Gentle Toning Lotion: This has a rose scent. It moisturizes and restores the delicate pH levels of your skin while gently removing excess oils and impurities. Coconut-derived surfactants soften and protect your skin while hyaluronic acid delivers non-irritating moisture. Witch hazel smoothes your skin’s texture while allantoin and damascena rose extract calm inflammation. It also does a good job of getting rid of any dead skin and smoothing before I put on a cream. This is great for someone with drier skin type.

Sephora Favorites Beauty After Last Call


Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday. Today I want to write about the Sephora Favorites Beauty After Last Call collection. This collection is worth $104 for the price of just $36.  The collection includes a face mask, vitamins, lip balm, corrector, highlighter, face primer, and lash primer.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid in Opal: This is a liquid highlighter that gives skin a dewy look. I love the shimmer it gives. I have always been a fan of Becca highlighters and the glow it creates.

Sephora12.jpg

Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Tinted Primer in Mink Brown: This mink primer defines, and primes lashes for a natural, feathery look. I have never used a lash primer before and can definitely see the difference it creates.  It is water-resistant and conditions lashes with provitamin B5.

sephora7

Bobbi Brown Retouching Face Pencil in Illuminate and Sharpener: This is a good sharpener to have in my collection. This is a good sharpener. The illuminate pencil  is ideal for all skintones. You can use it for highlighting cheekbones, the inner corners of the eyes, or brow bones—and any feature you want to spotlight your features. I love the two items together. The best thing that I love about this pencil is that it’s really creamy and it glides on smoothly.

Dr. Jart+ Dermask Intra Jet Firming Solution: This gel mask is activated by body heat to release the beneficial ingredients infused within.  This mask made my skin hydrated, happy, tightened and glowing.  Washed face with water, applied the mask (soaking wet with the product out of the bag), waited 40 minutes. While it was on my face, it felt perfectly heavy with product. The two part mask was very helpful for staying on my face. Overall, I loved the product.

sephora3.jpg

Hum Nutrition Raw Beauty Green Superfood Blend in Mint Chocolate Chip Infusion: This powder is supposed to be radiant skin and healthy metabolism. I added it to milk. The powder doesn’t mix well, but that doesn’t bother me. However, I couldn’t taste the chocolate chip. I just tasted like green tea to me. Since I only had it once, I didn’t feel any difference. I am not sure if I am going to order this product again.

Sephora10.jpg

SMASHBOX Photo Finish Primer Water: This is a two-in-one primer and setting spray that hydrates, preps, and refreshes skin. I use to refresh my skin. I won’t say to run and buy it but if you want to try something new, why not. If you have dry skin you may love it.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea quench lip rescue in Nude:  This is a tinted lip balm that is infused with an antioxidant and vitamin-rich lip quencher. It is powered by a blend of essential extracts and oils, and a protective antioxidant barrier against daily aggressors. It keeps my lips hydrated for a good 4 hours before I have to re-apply the balm.

Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip


Hi there my lovelies! Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday so far. Today, I wanted to share with you, my thoughts on the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Nude Lip collection. This collection is available at Sephora for $28.

Description: The collection contains six nude lip collections to create the perfect nude lip look. The set includes two full-size and four deluxe-size nude lip essentials: Bite Beauty’s Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Honeycomb, Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian, Estée Edit The Barest Contour lip Liner in 05 In The Buff, Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in 246 Slow Burn, Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in 1993 Comfort Matte, and Too Faced’s Cosmetics Melted Matte Liquified Matte Long Wear Lipstick in Queen B.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Honeycomb: This product goes on smooth with a creamy finish. It has sufficient staying power and really helps keep my lips hydrated. It’s really nude color. It’s a very smooth and buttery lipstick.

Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian: This is a sheer lipgloss.  I do find it a tad sticky like a typical lipgloss and it doesn’t really hydrate but it’s certainly not drying. The color is completely nude and disappears on my lip. Of all the six in the collection, this has to be my lip favorite.

Estée Edit The Barest Contour lip Liner in 05 In The Buff: This is soft and creamy lip liner that I really like. It glides on smoothly and gives the perfect color for a barely there look.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in 246 Slow Burn: I love the Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Creme formula. It’s very hydrating and smooth yet matte at the same time. The color also lasts a long time. Marc  Jacobs is one of my favorite lipstick brands.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in 1993 Comfort Matte: This formula is not super drying and lasts all day.  My lips always feel moisturized. I have very happy with the color as well.

nudelip8b

Too Faced’s Cosmetics Melted Matte Liquified Matte Long Wear Lipstick in Queen B: Finally, this matte lipstick glides on very evenly, very smooth, and dried with a great finish. It stays on all day.  It does not come off with eating and drinking and it is still on by the end of the day.

The Tarteist Pro Amazonian Clay Palette


Hi there my lovelies! Happy hump day everyone. I thought I would add a little pizzazz to your day with my review of the Tarteist Pro Amazonian Clay palette. After, reviewing the pastel goth palette I was happy to get back to my comfort zone with this beautiful palette from Tarte.

Description: This palette comes in 20 ultra-pigmented shades that are infused with Amazonian clay. It comes in 16 beautiful matte shades and 4  brand-new iridescent luster shades with a micro-shimmer, duo chrome finish.

Verdict: I saw this palette first at Sephora store and really loved the colors.  I really love the shades. When you take it out of the box it’s little flaky but it really stays put once on. Most of all, it’s blendable. The matte shadows in this palette are beyond amazing, super pigmented and buttery. The palette is very versatile and I would highly recommend this palette to everyone. This palette is definitely worth the $53. What is your favorite eyeshadow palette?

Kat Von D Pastel Goth Eyeshadow Palette


 

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a wonderful Thursday. Have you seen the new Pastel Goth Eyeshadow Palette from Kat Von D? If not look no further. I got the chance to get hold of one from Sephora for $38 and today, I will share my review with you.

pastel7

Description: This is an all-new eyeshadow palette from Kat Von D with 8 pastel matte shades. The beautiful collection will allow you to create an endless rainbow of looks. It is paraben, sulfates, and phthalates.

Verdict: This is a beautiful pastel palette with buildable color. This is beautiful palette is great for the Spring.  The pigment is amazing. The shades are really blendable and can easily be “toned down” by mixing with the white color. The shades are nice but it’s just not for me. However, if you like the pastel colors this is a beautiful palette to own. Overall, Kat Von D did a wonderful job with the palette.
