Sephora: Jasmine Disney Princess Collection


As a huge Disney fanatic, I had to have this palette. Absolutely in love with the colors and the pay off is amazing! I recommend this palette to anyone who loves color. It's a bit pricey but it's really worth it. It's only an online exclusive so get yours while you can! I'll be posting looks and swatches later on this week.

Urban Decay: The Glinda Palette


I've been dying for this palette when it first came out and saw swatches of it and fell in love. For Valentine's Day, my boyfriend surprised me with it. I absolutely love the color pay off from this palette, and it's great to use for an everyday look as well as a more dramatic look. The only complaint I have is the excess fall out. Because the shadows are so soft, it's not easy to prevent fall out. I recommend using concealer afterward. But other than that, I love the versatile looks I can create with this palette. It's definitely worth the money!

New Face Products

Hi lovelies, sorry for the late post but it's taken me awhile to finally purchase some noteworthy items. I received Urban Decay's Naked Palette for my birthday but as I already had the palette, I exchanged for these two beauties!

Laura Mercier Peach Mosaic Shimmer Bloc
I've always wanted to purchase this because I'm obsessed with peach tones. This is absolutely gorgeous and I highly recommend you try it out. They come in other color shimmer blocs as well, but this one gives me the perfect glow! You can also use them individually as eyeshadows. 

OVERALL: A+

Urban Decay's Naked Flushed Palette
I admit that this was an impulse buy for me, but I really loved the rest of the NAKED line from Urban Decay so I tried this out. It got a lot of iffy reviews but I ended up liking it quite a bit. I have fair skin so I'm not sure if it's meant really just for a specific skin tone. The bronzer is nice and light when I use an easy hand and the highlighter is really pretty. The blush was my least favorite because it made me look more like a doll. Overall, I haven't decided whether I love it or just like it.

NEW PURCHASES

I absolutely love ELF makeup for what the cost is, and I heard from a girl at Sephora that they changed the applicator for the liquid liner so I gave it a shot. This is the best makeup buy for $1! The applicator is amazing, it's almost a mix between a brush and felt tip. It allowed me to create a winged liner effortlessly. The only thing that I have to criticize on is the fact that it isn't black enough. I love my eyeliners to be really deep in color, so the ELF liquid liner is black but it isn't as black as my favorite Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Perversion. BUT, I still recommend this product and I will repurchase it for an on-the-go liner!


The other product I recently purchased is the Sonia Kashuk brow gel. I figured I would give this a try because I love her products so far, and the brow gel was inexpensive. I've been using MAC brow gel forever, but brow gel is something I could definitely try and cut costs on. The applicator seems quite large, but it actually shapes my brow nicely. Also, it isn't thick or goopy which leaves my eyebrows nice and clean. Overall, I'm happy with this product and would repurchase it.

FALSIES

I absolutely love wearing false lashes because they widen my eyes and they're such a fun and flirty way to finish the look. I've tried my share of lashes from MAC cosmetics to Ardell lashes. I have my favorites from those brands, but I really fell in love with Red Cherry lashes! These lashes come in all sorts of styles, and they're incredibly light and weightless. The best part is that I usually forget that I even have them on!
