Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lips | Favorite Shades + Review + Swatches

Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lips

So I must admit that Colour Pop Ultra Matte Lips quickly became my favorite liquid lipstick. They have such a wide variety of colors, the staying power is amazing, and each on only costs $6! I honestly have no interest in purchasing a liquid lipstick from any other brand because these ones are just that good! 

The formula is very liquidy, which makes for easy application. I don't really like liquid lipsticks that have a mousse-like texture because it tends to break up easily and it ends up looking chunky throughout the day. 

I will say that it is very important to use a very thin layer of vaseline or a moisturizing lip balm before applying any liquid lipstick. This will prevent the lipstick from drying out and looking cakey. One of my other favorite things about liquid lipsticks is that I don't have to use lipliner! I feel like every time I use a lip combo that includes a lip liner it becomes such a pain to reapply that I just slap on my chapstick instead. With the staying power of these liquid lipsticks I only have to use two products one time and then I can bring the liquid lipstick for minor touchups throughout the day. Needless to say these products are amazing and I definitely recommend them!

Tarte Bling It On Blush Palette | Review + Swatches

Tarte Bling It On Blush Palette

Hello my loves! So let's talk about this palette. First off, it is so girly and glamorous, part of me bought it because I knew it would look amazing on my vanity! This is one of those palettes that I will keep even after the products are gone because Tarte did such a bomb job on the packaging. The outside is black and the entire palette is decorated in what looks like little rhinestones, but it is actually sewn-on glitter! I have had this palette for awhile and I have not had an issue with the glitter coming off or the outside packaging pealing. 

To me, the inside of this palette is just as beautiful. The metallic gold really compliments all of the blush colors and makes each one stand out. I also love the size of the blushes! I definitely won't be going through this palette anytime soon, which makes the price totally worth it! This palette was limited edition, but there are a lot of sellers on Ebay in particular selling it for good prices. 

The blushes themselves are just perfect! There is literally a shade for every look, every skin tone, and every season! Fetching is a grogeous dusty rose shade that I wore a lot in the winter months. Dollface is a true baby doll pink color. It reminds me of something that Barbi would wear! Prim has literally been my obsession since we came into spring. It's a nude with some brown undertones. I honestly don't even know how to properly describe this shade! It's just gorgeous. Smashing is very similar to fetching, but instead of the rose undertones it is more coral! Beaming is the only shade that has some shimmer in it, which makes it perfect for the summer time! It's a perfect peach shade.

What makes this palette so perfect is the pigmentation. If you get this palette, it will definitely be around for a long time! Even if you use these shades every day it will take you at least 10 months to get through the whole thing because the tiniest amount on your brush goes a long way! This palette is also perfect for the traveling person because it has every shade you would need and the package is very slim! I highly recommend this palette and there are tons left on Ebay!

BH Cosmetics & Carli Bybel Eyeshadow and Highlight Palette | Review + Swatches

BH Cosmetics + Carli Bybel Palette

FREE Surprise Blush with purchase of Sculpt and Blend 2. Code BHSB2. Shop Now!

When I saw that Carli Bybel teamed up with BH Cosmetics to create this amazing palette I immediately went to the site and ordered it! What I love most about this palette is the range of color type, the product quality, and the amazing price. For 10 eyeshadows and 4 highlight shades, this palette only costs $12.50! NYX Can't even beat this price. 

This palette has a good range of warm tones and cool tones with both as matte and shimmer shadows. I have also never seen a company release this range of highlight shades before! Someone who has very fair skin could rock the highlight all the way to the left and someone who has extremely dark skin would look amazing in the shade all the way to the right. 

I will say that I like the pigment payoff on the shimmer shadows more than I like the matte shadows. However, the mattes are pigmented and are very blendable. You can definitely tell a difference between the formula between the shimmer and matte shadows, but they are both easy to work with. 

The shimmer shadows are definitely some of the best affordable shimmers that I have come across. The texture is very buttery and I didn't even need to wet my brush to get a lot of pigmentation!

 I definitely think this is going to be my go-to palette for the spring and summer time because of how reflective the shimmer shadows are! I also love the range of oranges in this palette. The great thing about orange shimmers is that ALL skin tones and hair colors can get away with it. It is one of those universal colors that truly looks amazing on everyone!

What I enjoy most about the highlight shades is the ability to mix them together and create even more shades! Lately, I have been mixing the two shades to the left. This creates the perfect pinky neutral highlight for my cheekbones! Although my skin is too fair to use the shades to the left, I will definitely be using them as blush and bronzer shades when it gets more into the summer months!

Pumpkin Glycolic Mask

Pumpkin Glycolic Mask YouTube Review

This mask quickly became my favorite mask! I had never used a glycolic mask before, so I was nervous about how my skin would react since it is so sensitive. ASDM does such an amazing job by formulating their products and instructing their consumers on how to use them in the best way! This mask is ideal for someone looking to improve texture and fine lines. If you have small bumps and wrinkles, this mask really helps to smooth out your skin. It is so rich in nutrients and anti-oxidants you seriously can't go wrong no matter what age you are. 

Retinol Complex Serum

Retinol Complex Serum YouTube Review

I have recently become obsessed with serums! I never knew what the point of them was until I started using ASDM products. Good serums are constructed to penetrate the skin on the deepest level, so the body can absorb the ingredients. Retinol acts as a nano-delivery system to unclog pores, boost collagen production, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. After I started using this serum every night, I have noticed a major difference in my pore size and the small wrinkles on my forehead. 

Tepez Cream

Tepez Cream YouTube Review

If you suffer from acne, irritation, or redness you seriously need this cream in your life! The tepez tree bark extract helps sooth irritated skin and also helps to eliminate inflammation. If you use this product consistently, you will also see a difference in the frequency and severity of your acne. I use this product at night-time and I use the Juicy Fruit Cream during the day. Since I have been using this, I no longer have redness around my nose and my acne has been kept at bay! My skin has also been much more hydrated. This cream is all-around amazing.
