Herbivore Hydrating Face Mist

This was an impulse purchase. It had something coconut and I was immediately sold on that fact alone. Im a freak. I love anything coconut.

Anyways, I love hydrating face mist. When I seen this I first thought, hm. Is this somewhat similar to MAC Fix + and I can asure you it's not.

It is just a hydrating face mist. You apply after you have rinsed your face, and before moisturizer and throughout the day if needed. This doesn't state to wear over makeup so that says something.

This has a beautiful rose scent to it, a little strong but since its a delicate scent it doesn't bother me.

This was a splurge because this was at $32 at Sephora (which is out of stick at the moment) 

I personally would repurchase this because of the natural ingredients, it truly is hydrating, the glass bottle is simple yet chic and the smell is delicious!

My face can get dry through the year especially when the season change and this will sure come in handy. 

Do you absolutely need  to go out and buy this? No. Only because Im sure there are affordable alternatives. If you have the need to splurge and would like to try something different, do try this!

Tartelette 2 In Bloom REVIEW

I was very skeptical when this came out because their Tartelette matte was for me a pass. some shades were hard to work with, seemed chalky and some shadows lacked pigmentation.

I still ordered this palette because that is who I am. I love eyeshadow palettes they are my definite weakness and especially rosy warm tones are my favorite to work with. I got this for around $35 at Ulta i have been saving points so I had to get this.

Let me tell you...this is a must have. It is definitely better than the first one. I find myself reaching for this quite often. It is very pigmented, easy to use, the colors work well with each other. I love this. My favorite shades are:

 Charmer-it is perfect for the brow bone.

Funny Girl-I find myself using this shade quite often, it is truly beautiful. It isn't a chunky glitter. 

Rebel-my favorite crease shade. This is probably my favorite shade from the whole palette. I have nothing like it and the pigmentation is amazing. 

Pros: Good color payoff, price is reasonable, beautiful packaging, big mirror.

Cons: The shadows Activist and Smokeshow look awfully similar, I wished they could have a deeper maroon or purple. 

I do recommend this if you're into the rosy shades. I am very picky when it comes to palettes because I know what I like and what to expect from a palette. Not necessarily that it has to be high-end. I look for good quality shadows and color pigmentation and how it blends and packs. 

This is so much better than the first one I promise. It is a must have and the palette itself is beautiful. I have used Rebel so much you can hardly see the Tarte imprint lol. 

Too Faced Born this Way Foundaiton REVIEW

This is so old news, but I forgot to mention it! Anyways this is a foundation I have been testing out and actually loving for months. This foundation I hear, you either love it or hate it. 

This for me is actually medium coverage. This doesn't have a good range of shades to pick from like my Estee Double Wear foundation. This seems more pink toned than the picture actually leads.

I have applied this with a BB and it sheers for a definite medium coverage. I have used this with a buffing brush and its more of a medium to almost full coverage foundation. 

This is more of a demi matte foundation, It sorta seems and looks matte but yet demi at the same time which is nice, it's what  I like about it. I sometimes cant seem to decide for either so this is great. I have normal skin so I can actually get away with either, with the correct primer of course. 

I got the shade Warm Nude which is a tad darker than what I really like but it seems to do just fine. It is very warm toned which I really don't like because I like yellow toned foundation, not orange. 

This has an absolute wear of 6 good hours without primer or setting with powder which is actually pretty impressive. I have used this with the Too Faced Hangover primer which doesn't work too well for me because I got oily really quick. 

The glass is absolutely beautiful, frosted glass and a pump. A+ right there. Has no weird scent, oil-free and has its infused with coconut water. If you don't know I love anything coconut. 

I do recommend this for normal to dry skinned and I suggest going to Ulta or Sephora to choose your correct shade. Do I love this foundation? Yes, I do. It is very comfortable wearing, I don't get cakey, not too thick it's just right. If you go to the Too Faced website you actually sign up for their email and get 20% off and that would be a great time to get it. 

Self Made by Anastasia Beverly Hills

I had to get this beauty, I make it a habit on trying to get her palettes. I adore them. I am not so much into the packaging. It's nothing fancy and whatnot. It's just basic. 

The attraction is on the inside. So many beautiful shades the one thing is that I see 2 shadows that are repeats from my other palettes. Pink Champagne and Buttery. I don't like repeat shadows. 

I think from all my 2'previous palettes I own I would have to say this one is my favorite.  So many looks you can create with this. You can go either safe, bold, dramatic whatever you would like, there's one deal breaker. Where's my transition shade at? Hot Chocolate doesn't cut it for me. Yes it's matte but it also contains glitter.

I also noticed that it contained 2 more shadows that the other palettes. Also I do not like Buttery. It's is a weird light custard shadow that I try not to work with. 

My favorites shadows are Metallic Plum, Islam, Blossom, Blush and Deep Purple. 

It also contained the brush that not fond of. It works just okay. 

Overall I do love this palette. It's beautiful somewhat colorful with shadows that I could actually see myself using. 

Tarte Stroke of Midnight Brush Set

These brushes are LE and please get to a Sephora and take a look at these. I got these during the friends and family 20% sale at Sephora and these are so adorable!!! 

The sequins makeup case is stunning. I usually don't like sequins at all but they outdid themselves and it's so pretty. The color selection is divine. 

The gold handles look super pretty and not cheap as far as these brushes work let's go right in. 

The brush set included: 

Concealer Brush-I ised it for concealer brush and this doesn't work for that whatsoever. It's not dense enough to help blend out the concealer it's more soft. It is a great alternative as a small angle brush and this gives a nice use as contour brush since its angled. 

Eyeshadow Brush-this works quite well, a shader brush if we must and it works well with eyeshadows and especially ColourPop shadows. 

Complexion Brush-this brush is so good for picking up a small amount of blush and help diffuse color with just a nice natural flush. It actually is quite dense.

Blush Brush-this is a flimsy brush. It's too soft and serves as no purpose. It's actually very disappointing. There's no way you can pick up blush and apply it to your cheeks. It's too soft and flimsy. Fail.

Tarte the Buffer Airbrush Finish Foundation Brush-star of the show. I have been using this since I've washed my brushes. It's absolutely worth it. This is very soft and dense and my foundation actually looks flawless. I love love love this foundation brush. It's quite nice finding a new Holy Grail. 

Stila Eternal Yours Liquid Lipstick Set

Before anything. Go and add this to your cart and checkout ok thanks! This is in stock at both Ulta and Sephora at the moment. 

This set is an absolute must have! This formula is very creamy and is not as drying as other liquid lipsticks longwear is alright maybe a good 4 hours including eating drinking and a few kisses :D

The set has basically every shade you could possibly need and the best part with these is you can mix them to create your own custom shade!

This set includes: 

Caramello- a cool toned nude that for me I will need a liner or I will look weird, least favorite for me because it's a very light nude.

Patina- a beautiful dusty rose

Aria- a magenta plum very beautiful 

shade and my favorite one from this set

Como- very vibrant violet. Very pretty

Chianti- a very deep plum that is perfect for this time of year or anytime if you're bold like me! A perfect vampy shade!  

Fiery- is an red orange that vibrant yet very wearable! Beautiful for everybody! 

I was very happy with the outcome and Stila did an amazing job with this set and since they are small sized this is a great opportunity to try them! 

Natural Matte Palette by Too Faced

I'm I got this palette during the Memorial Day sale they had. I wanted this palette just didn't want to comit in purchasing it in regular price. Yes. I'm a cheap skate lol. (Sometimes I am) I posted this picture on IG and yes it's has a filter fyi. Since I got this palette is all I've been using. Rosy warm neutrals is my thing currently. This is an everyday use palette you really can create an everyday look with this. This is so pigmented and easily blendable. Too Faced actually has amazing eyeshadow palettes and I highly recommend them, as well as this palette. They also sent a sample of their new foundation which I loved.

March Favorites

I think I might do maybe monthly favorites, and of course they won't always be new stuff, maybe stuff I have been reaching for, or maybe recommend to me. If I don't have stuff every month I might do every other month. I think that might work for me! I'm going to go in depth with these, just a quick "why I love it"!

Simple Facial Cleansing Wipes-these really do help remove any creepy residue I probably have after cleansing my face, perfect for my acne prone skin and very inexpensive.

Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar-It breaks my heart that not a lot of people are a big fan of this palette, this is my ultimate favorite neutral palette. The shades are pigmented except the shade "Pink Sugar" but the rest are, I can do a neutral, fun and a smokey look with this palette, and it has some amazing transition shades, and yes I LOVE this palette than the other one!

Anastasia Liquid Lipstick "Pure Hollywood and Vamp"- I hate Pure Hollywood by itself and as well as Vamp. the colors itself didn't do nothing for me, Pure Hollywood looked ashy and Vamp was too burgundy for my liking, so I mixed some Vamp with Pure Hollywood and came out with the perfect rosy color, its an everyday color, and the formula is so much better somehow! Been loving this color everyday!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel "Birthday Suit"- I love this cool toned white/grey color. This color makes my nails looks super chic, and it isn't an opaque. You really just need your 2 coats, and the best part is that these don't chip as fast at others.

Wet n' Wild Brow Wax-I've been looking for an inexpensive brow wax sand this was under maybe $2. It sets my brows down really good, it did at first have a creepy wax smell but that faded. I recommend this to hold your brows, i use this before applying any powder or pencil on my brows, so much easier to work with.

Anastasia Duo Brow Spooley and Brush-this is a staple, I don't know how I even did my brows without this brush. Unbelievable. This is the perfect stiff brush especially if you are using the pomade, it creates fine strokes, and the spooley really combs my brows, this is worth the investment.

Smashbox Primer Water-I love this. I did a review on this bad boy not too long ago, this is pricey but highly worth it.

Nyx Butter Lipstick- I am not sure what color I got, this came in my Ipsy bag and I love, perfect dusty mauve.

Maybelline FitMe Concealer "Light 10"- I used to use the color 20 Sand, and I really didn't notice any "highlighting" going on until I decided to go lighter and this, let me tell you, made a huge difference, definitely brightened up my eyes, nicely highlighted and I love it. Sand was too yellow for me, kinda blends in. This a staple of course.

Yes i said I wasn't going to ramble and that is what I did!

Eyeliners, Liquid Liners, or Gel Liners?

What do you ladies prefer? At first I used to use the pencil liner everyday, you have to realize I had no clue about the make-up world until YouTube presented itself to me. Anyways back then, I had 3 beauty products, foundation, mascara and my eye liner. Just on my water line and good to go. Well after I discovered more stuff, I realized that gel liners were my thing. I would purchase the Maybelline gel liners, I loved it a lot for the longest time until when it was time to repurchase a new one they must have changed the formulation because it would get hard like crazy. The good thing about them is that not only can you use in on your water line, but you can also create an upper winged liner, smudge for a smokey look, bonus! But for the past year or so, I have been loving my liquid liner, I recommend the L'OREAL Infallible Super Slim, It is perfect for doing such winged liner, it has a nice felt tip. Although this does smear off, I still love it, that part isn't a deal breaker. What do you ladies prefer? I am going back to the gel liner to see if I will love it again! (I swatched the Too Faced liner but it was creamy the other is just a regular pencil liner, just thought I would compare the two)
