Swatch & Review: Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush: Something About Berry

This blush is so adorable and perfect with Valentine's Day coming up.

"Three perfect swatches of ultraflattering blush allow you to either swirl the colors together and apply or use more of one shade for a custom flush or highlight. This blush was developed with easy application and a no-fail color palette to take the guesswork out of creating a sweet, romantic flush. With a baked color formula— the same technology that allows it to truly work on all skintones—the blush can be applied as a beautiful buildable finish. "

This blush is beautiful when applied to the cheeks. It has such a stunning sheen to it so I like to use this as a blush topper on top of my matte blushes. This also can stand alone. 

The three colors swatched separately. 

And Together. 

If you have the Ulta %20 coupon that would be a great reason to get this gem. 

Retail: $30.00 at Ulta / Sephora

A DAMN GOOD NORDSTROM RACK FIND

I don't normally go to Nordstrom Rack on a regular basis but i always hear people getting good deals. So when I was close to one the other day I decided to pop in and I'm glad i did. There was a fairly large beauty section with brands like NYX, Stila, Essie, OPI, Ardell, and Urban Decay. I've had my eye on the Urban Decay Brow Box for years but always thought that $29.00 was a little more than I wanted to spend. So i was just browsing and I happened to rummage through a basket with some products and behold, I found the Urban Decay Brow Box in Honey Pot. So i looked at the price and it was $13.97. I gasped and scooped it up right away.

The packaging is so cute. I feel like I'm opening a treasure box each time i use it. The brow powders are the perfect colors for my brows. The combination of the powder and the wax makes for a brow that lasts all day. I am so excited about this find and I know i will be using this bad boy everyday. 

Get to your local Nordstrom Rack, they may just have this deal for you!

Swatch & Review: NYX Infinite Shadow Stick: Rose Gold

You know I can never turn down a product with the name rose gold. I knew i had to have this when I saw all the new NYX displays at my local Ulta this week. The color is absolutely beautiful and I can see this working well with all the gold and copper shadows in my collection. The shadow stick is very pigmented and once this color dries it's locked in place all day. I just might have to pick up more of these beauties.

Swatch & Review: Mally Beauty High Shine Liquid Lipstick: Life is Fuchsia

I've seen Mally Beauty products on QVC now for years and they've always intrigued me but I just never pulled the trigger. I've always wanted to see the products in person before ordering so you can imagine my excitement when I saw a full display of Mally Beauty products at my local Ulta.
The first product I decided to try was the High Shine Liquid Lipstick. I chose the color Life is Fuchsia, a beautiful pink with shimmer.

This color is a little more sheer than I'd imagined for a liquid lipstick but I think it will be the perfect topper for all of the bright pink colors for spring/summer. Overall I am very happy with this lip color and I'd like to try another more fuller coverage color.

Retail: $20.00 at Ulta & www.ulta.com

Swatch & Review: Sigma Warm Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette

This palette caught my eye right away. I love love love warm tone eyeshadows with my brown eyes so I knew this would be a hit. I wasn't sure of the quality if this palette at first being that Sigma is mostly known for their brushes but I was pleasantly surprised. The shadows are creamy and blendable and wear like a dream. I am very impressed with the quality overall. I've only done one look so far but I can't wait to play more with this gem! 

The shadows are swatched on bare skin. 

 

Get this baby before it's gone!

The New Wet n Wild 8 Pan Palette

I've been searching for this little beauty and finally found it at my local Walgreens this evening. Poster Child is the newest of the permanent 8 pan eyeshadow palettes from Wet n Wild. Now these colors are not the most wearable but I still needed this in my life. I am going to try to do a look with these colors soon. They swatch beautifully without a primer so I hope they will perform well on the eyes. 

I can't wait to play with this! 

Retail: $4.99 at Walgreens

Swatch & Review: Physicians Formula Nude Wear Liquid Highlighter

This product intrigued me when I saw it at my local Rite Aid the other day so i picked it up. This product is claimed to be a liquid highlighter so I am curious to see how this works because it is not your typical highlighting color. 

Ofcourse the packaging is so terribly cute. The rose gold bowness caught my eye right away. 

I have yet to use this but I am very curious to see how well this product will highlight. Has anyone tried this product or anything similar? I need suggestions. 

Retail: $12.99 at Drugstores

Swatch & Review: Physicians Formula Nude Wear Glow Nude Blush: Rose

Physicians Formula always comes out with the cutest products this time of year. I just couldn't resist the rose gold bow packaging of this blush. It was literally calling out to me in Rite Aid and hey, who am i not to answer? There are two blushes and two face powders in the collection but the colors in this blush caught my eye. They faintly resemble the Givenchy Le Prisme powders that are oh so expensive. 

Back to the packaging, the compact is a nude textured square compact with a compartment on the bottom that houses the cutest little rose gold brush. I will actually keep this brush because it is just so cute.

I haven't tried too many of the Physicians Formula face power products so I wasn't sure what to expect but i was pleasantly surprised. The Nude Wear logo is a shimmer overspray that disappears after the first use. The color underneath is beautiful though. When swirled together a pretty peachy pink color is obtained. 

Here is a swatch of just the shimmer overspray.

And this is the powder after the overspray is removed.

Each color swatched separately 

And swirled together

Overall I am very happy with this product and I will definantely keep my eye out for more of the Physicians Formula Powders from now on.

Swatch & Review: NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Colors

So these have caught my eye recently and last night while I was at CVS I saw that all NYC products were Bogo 50% so I finally went for it. These lippies are $3.99 a piece and with the Bogo 50% they came down to $3.00 a piece. You can't beat it. Here are the six I bought: 

So far I'm impressed with these. The colors are bright and they feel creamy on the lips. Have you seen these around your area? They're worth picking up.
