BAREMINERALS LIPSPECTACULAR

I've heard nothing but rave reviews of the BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lip glosses so when I saw a set of 6 minis for $26.00 I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try them out. 

According to the Ulta website:

"Ulta Exclusive! Treat your lips to the best of Marvelous Moxie Buttercream with this limited-edition collection featuring 6 of our most highly flattering shades. This rich, creamy gloss melts onto lips like butter for a deliciously indulgent wear and feel with medium-coverage color. Naturally derived Shea, Avocado and Murumuru butters help to hydrate and smooth lips in a non-tingling, non-sticky formula lightly scented with vanilla."

These glosses are fabulous. They are very comfortable on the lips, they last a decent amount of time, and the colors are perfect for everyday wear. I can see why everyone has been raving about them.

Forbidden Nude

Juicy Mango

Sassy Sorbet

Must-Have Pink

Flirty Mauve

Moody Berry

As you can see these glosses are pretty pigmented for being neutral shades and the berry is going to be my jam this fall season. 

Overall I think this is a great set if you are looking into trying the buttercream glosses. 

Have you tried any of these glosses? Any favorite colors?

LORAC PRO 2 PALETTE

After seeing everyone raving about the new Lorac Pro 2 Palette I finally caved and picked it up at my local Ulta yesterday. Now I was not initially dying to grab this palette but I used my whole first pro palette up so I figured when I saw this baby in person it would persuade me… and it did. 

These colors are on par with the creaminess and pigmentation of the first pro palette. They blend like a dream and are very easy to work with overall. 

Now onto the swatches

I am going to play around with this palette and create some looks and then give you a full review. 

Retail: $42.00 at Ulta

Review & Swatch: Sigma Creme De Couture Palette

The Sigma Creme De Couture Palette is absolutely beautiful. Although the colors in this palette would lead you to think this would be released in the spring or summer, I am still going to be using this beauty throughout the fall season. The colors are absolutely stunning. This collection was inspired by macaroons and I think they nailed it. The palette retails for $32.00 and there are also three blushes which retail for $12.00 a piece, or you can buy the whole collection for $55.00. I skipped on the blushes but they do look beautiful. Lets get to the main event! This palette has 16 pigmented and buttery shadows with names that make you hungry for dessert.

Now onto the swatches....

The swatches are all without a primer. Oh My God I am in love. I can't wait to play with this and come up with some looks. Expect to see this palette quite often in my FOTD's :)

Marc Jacobs The Starlet Style Eye-Con

I headed straight to Sephora on August 9th to get my hands on the new Marc Jacobs Beauty line. I was very impressed with everything overall. I wanted to purchase a bunch of things but I chose this eye shadow palette first. I also bought a nail polish in fluorescent beige, which is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take an accurate picture of the polish so I am not able to post it but trust me, it's gorgeous.    Back to this palette, I am in love. The palette comes in a black pouch just like most high end brands. I like this pouch in particular because it snaps close and is very thick and durable. A sponge tip applicator is included, which I will keep strictly because it says Marc Jacobs on it  :). The palette itself is shiny and black and very chic. The colors are so creamy and they blend like a dream. This is just a homerun all around. I also have my eye on the rest of the palettes but I figured this palette would be the best to transition from summer into fall so that is why I picked this one up first. The golds and copper colors will be great for fall looks. i am in love with the whole line of products. I will be picking up more soon! Xoxo

Recent Purchases

Here are a few things I've purchased over the last week. 

Revlon Precision Lash Glue        $5.00 at CVS

This is my hands down favorite lash glue. It dries so fast and makes putting falsies on a breeze. I've really been getting back into false lashes so I had to grab this and it really is great. 

Tarte Aqualillies Palette       $38.00 at Ulta

I originally wasn't going to purchase this palette but after seeing a couple of rave reviews I just had to see what it was all about. I've only swatched the colors so far but they are very creamy and pigmented. I love that most of the summer palettes this year have a turquoise-blue (yep, i made up a color) shade. I think it adds a lot to the palette because I especially love to place that color under my lower lash line to pop the look. I have used the blush and it is gorgeous. A creamy peach shade that just screams spring/summer. The bronzer is the famous Park Ave Princess bronzer which we all know and love. It's a great matte bronzer. The champagne highlighter also is beautiful. I see myself using this palette all summer long. I'm very glad that i decided to look twice at this palette because it is definitely worth picking up. I am going to love this on vacation. 

PJandPoppy Tassel Necklace in black       $18.00 via Etsy

I've been looking for a cheaper alternative to the HRH Collection tassel necklace for a while, so when i saw this i figured I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad I did, it is the same vibe as the HRH one but at a fraction of the price. You can tell it is very well made. I love it. It is so classic that it can be paired with a variety of different outfits to add some flair. This baby is going to get a lot of use all summer.

Lorac GloGetter Palette (Ulta Exclusive)

I originally wasn't planning on picking this palette up but when I saw it in person I just knew it was meant to be mine. It is absolutely stunning. If you love colored eyeshadow, you will LOVE this. You need it. (I will be your enabler, blame me). Xoxo
